I have the Helms FSM (2 red books), and I also bought the Chilton CD, thinking it might be handy to have something searchable with actual photos. If you want to only get one, then get the Helms manual.

Totally different. Save yourself the agrivation and get the red book(s) for your year. The Chilton just supliments the FSM and it is nowhere near as comprehensive.
