I have a Haynes for my 4th gen. It's not the best, but it puts it into VERY easy to understand steps with pics.
I had the book for a 86 jimmy, and I was able to follow the directions to replace the tierods on it(I wasn't quite mechanically inclined then).
I also had the Chilton's manual for the same vehicle, that was more complex and hard to understand, it's not as graphical, and quite technical

I have the Haynes and Chilton to my 5th gen and IMHO the Haynes just plain SUCKS. My choice would be
1.- ANY Toyota written manual (BGB etc)
2.- Chilton
3.- Celicatech
4.- Haynes

My preferences, in order:
1. Toyota Factory BGB
2. Haynes - good for beginners, well laid-out; easy to understand
3. Chiltons - also good for noobs but poor layout; can be confusing; lacks clarity
