Hmm, I wouldn't call a bad photocopy (that several members of this
forum have complained about) "still in print". I mean it's great that
someone's making it available and all, but considering that Apple have
given their blessing for distribution of Apple II manuals, it's about
time a PDF was available.


While it is true that the loose leaf 2nd edition is not of the same
quality as the 1st editon - I think it never made it past APDA and into
a proper bound book form (can anyone confirm this?) apart from one
missing page I do not find it that bad (my copy does not even have the
color cover pages). At just under 700 pages it is a fairly massive
undertaking to print - it would probably cost more in toner than
Syndicomm charge (depends on your printer and availability of 3rd party
refills).

It would be great, though, and easier work, if it were simply printed
from a clean (original?) PDF rather than being photocopied, with the
attendant loss in quality and resolution.

"Print on demand" publishing is a well-known method, and can produce
"originals", not copies.
