Things about cars, fixing them, anything about electrical equipment or circuits, etc, etc. I don't just mean a kiddie book with lots of pictures, but isn't there something I can find in like the Science section of Barnes and Nobles that talks about how things work?
Also, if possible, if you happen to know any books about laboratory equipment, like centrifuges and thermocyclers and incubators, that'd be cool too.
