Default Best service manual?

What's the best maintenance manual for my '00 civic, and is an online source available for this? I don't want a CD-rom like I keep seeing on Ebay--it's gotta be a book.

I have the 5th gen Haynes manual. 92-95 only. I think they're BSing you...may be, just may be that manual is not out yet...which would seem strange...

^ the one you're looking for will cover 96-00 Civics, some Integras, and CR-Vs.

I have a Haynes, it's been OK but there is definitely some missing information in there.

Oh, like it will say "tighten to the torque values listed in the beginning of the chapter" and when you go back to the beginning of the chapter, the values are not listed. Nothing major that I have found yet...
