Blue Book Workshop Manuals

Bumping this thread...anyone with scans willing to sell PDF downloads/thumbdrives? Could be a great fundraiser for the forum in addition to covering your costs to scan....I'd be first in line to support.
 
The online version of the manuals is available for download for 10 Euro for 10 downloads. The quality is exactly the same as what we had available online until recently, which is very good, IMO. The post discussing it is here: Workshop manuals for download

I like it better than straight PDF scans since it is hyperlinked and you can easily jump directly to table of content entries instead of clicking your way through the whole thing.

They look like this:

Did these ever become available as PDF as the only way I can find them is from Faxon Auto Literature on ebay at the moment. Has anyone had a copy from them and are they worth having ?

Yes I bought these repo books from Faxon about 4 years ago. Very reasonably cost about $160 delivered to Australia. Excellent quality and perfectly reproduced. Although for some reason there is only couple of brief pages re the CSI FI system, so I suspect this is a supplementary chapter that they haven't included.

I would definitely recommend them though.
 
I've started work on scanning both volumes of the Workshop Manuals and hope to have an indexed and OCRed version completed this spring. It would be the same high resolution product as the CS Parts Manual I recently uploaded.

I've got a pair of these in English and was wondering it there was an appetite for a PDF or an e-book version to be made as they are quite expensive and rare - so I'm told.
My thinking here is they are probably out of copyright.
This may already exist but if not I'd be prepared to look at getting it done.
Curious to hear member views on if they think there is a need for this and what kind of format would be easiest to use. This may include print on demand.
If there's consensus on the format and a demand I can look at organising something for members for a nominal fee.

Very interested
