Default Advice Wanted- Beginner Biker, Which Repair Manual to Buy

Hi, I'm new to biking and am looking for a decent Repair/Advice Manual
for my city/road bike, so I don't have to keep going to the bike shop
when the thing breaks down. I've read reviews on Amazon of authors
like Leonard Zinn, etc, but there seems to be a lot of choice.. anyone
got any recommendations to make? I'm not looking at high-level stuff,
more a well-diagrammed, straightforward manual which includes most of
the common problems a bike owner would come across and solutions to
solve them. Thanks

The Zinn book is pretty good, there isn't any book I'd recommend
over it, unless you would be happy with a shop manual like
Sutherland's or Barnett's.
