owners workshop manual/automotive repair manual?

Are these books the same thing? I am looking at these both and they look exactly the same except for the titles. Are these different books? Same? One counterfit ?

They are the same book. Just go to your local autoparts store and order a new one, they may have one in stock. They are usually $18.95, or there abouts. Make sure it is a Haynes.

Get a factory service manual for your year. It and the Haynes will be a big help.

Since I got my 84 FSM a few years ago, I haven't opened the Haynes.

The Haynes manual is written for the car, but sometimes has some glaring errors in it. For the money spent (and clarity later on when you're all greasy and can't figure something out), the FSM is worth the ~$90 that you'll pay for it.

If you're going to keep the car for awhile, you really should be shopping for a Mazda Factory Service Manual like this one;
