I though some here might like this.
I bumped into this 1300 page UK CAA document that describes in general many aircraft maintenance procedures. Obviously much of it is UK specific including some legals but it has what appears to me to be some really good stuff that will apply anywhere. Some of it has been around a long time, which does not make it less useful if you need to do a fabric repair or swing a compass, and it is quite up to date too, published 15 Dec 2017.
It's kind of like a textbook for an A&P, or at least part of it.
