These manuals not only are hard to find but they are also very expensive to buy out right. When you purchase our digital materials you are not paying for the original printed material.

What you are paying for at a reduced price is a scan of the original manual in a PDF (Portable Document File) electronic file that you download to your computer for viewing and or printing on your computer.

Again you are not buying the original printed copies of these manuals.
