It's also interesting to note that DEC themselves
made copies of some
handbooks apparently. I've got two handbooks that are obviously copies and
bound with plastic spiral combs. When I asked about these a couple years
ago, I was told this was common. Of course the two I've got are of books
where the original actually has better paper if anything :^)
Tandy did the same thing at the end of their support for
their early TRS-80 machines. I ordered one of the manuals that came
with the Model 2000 and what arrived a few days later was a
photocopy, bound with the plastic spring spiral.
