G'Day, Anyone care to pass a comment on the above manual - I've had previous Ellery manauls for Falcon and Commodore and found both lacked a lot. I've downloaded the web version but like most people I find the paper version much more convenient. I do all my own repairs BTW.
Thanks.
Also thanks for the welcome to the forum on another post.:happy:

There is. "Binded" is the verb of binding, the action of doing. "Bound" is the past tense of binding, having just done.

I should just call you oxford I think lol

Worked it out to cost about $80 to get ~1400 pages printed at a printers + a few more bucks to get it "binded" so yeah.....

Lets not squabble. Just sounds a bit awkward, that is all. Gregories manual is ok, Mitsu manual wins though. I just print the pages I need, then bin them after use. I don't bother getting them bindinged. Instead, they end up bininged. lol

Lol, I was joking about the binded thing, haha. Of course the correct word is "bound" Just thought I'd have some fun. :)

Edit: To keep this on topic, how much does a manual generally go for, if the prices quoted by TUFFTR are indicative of what it would cost for the printed option?

My Ellerys seems fine from what i've needed from it so far. E-bay $50, cant remember seller though.

The ones I bought on Ebay(Falcon and Commodore) were from an offshoot company of Ellerys......sort of like selling them on the side. I'll probably end up with an Ellerys, Haynes and Gregory plus the downloaded version. Thanks for the comments.
