Default Best Maintenance Book?

I find myself needing to do some tinkering with a new bike, and my old bike book doesn't have
anything to say about the new-fangled shifters I need to fiddle with. Can someone recommend a good,
current, maintenance manual?

Zinn's books are pretty good for beginners.

I use Haynes Bicycle Book. Haynes is more well known for their car repair books, but the bicycle
book seems adequate and it does have some specifics for grip shifters and rapid fire shifters.
