The Haynes is about your only 9000-specific choice. There is no US Haynes manual, just one for the UK. However, I've found it to be pretty good. You can buy it from a few places, I believe that Amazon carries it. You can also contact Haynes and see if you can buy it off the website.
I strongly recommend that you go to the dealer, or find a dealer mail order, and buy the Electrical Supplement manual for the 9000, year 88. The manual set for the 9000 is broken down into car subsystems (engine, brakes, electrical) and by years. The bad news is that to get a complete manual set for a car can be pretty pricey. The good news is that it's pretty much unnecessary. The electrical manual is far and away the best electrical manual I've ever seen, and well worth the $25 - $30 bucks. This is especially true since I've had more electrical than mechanical problems.
I've kept three 9000's running and happy with the 9000 Haynes manual, and an electrical manual for each year. I also happen to have the Bentley 900 16V manual, and that helps provide some extra insight into the 2.0l engines. Helpful, but not necessary.
