Default XC90 books

Hi all,
To your knowledge, are there any books published on the Volvo XC90, (other than Haynes)? I can not find any on amazon!
If yes, can you please post references.
Thanks.

I you want a workshop manual I think the only other option is VIDA on CD. I don't think Volvo publish workshop manuals anymore. (I used to like owning a proper manufacturers workshop manual.)

For what it's worth I searched the Haynes site for my 2011MY '90' without trace. They do one for the 03/4 MY version though.

Thank you,
I am not really looking for any workshop manuals but rather a general XC90 documentary. The kind of books you find at Motor books.com.or like the one attached.
Thanks again.

Hi
Can you post the page link on the Haynes site if possible as I couldn't find any XC90 manual on there (own an 03 MY).
Thanks
Paul

Try www.Haynes.com/

That should get you there.

Not sure the XC90 is old enough yet to have a book on it specifically but the club pages do have lots of items on the XC90 from Volvo about design, development and construction if that's any use. Some of the info is buried in press releases as well. Probably the most interesting items are from the designers and technicans who developed the car. Not all the club pages are accessable unless you are a member as well but the bulk of them are.
