I'm one of the (many) people who have a PDF version of these, and always seem to lose on the eBay auctions for the real deal. The local Porsche dealership here said that they are NLA (is this true?).

So that leads me to ask, is this something that is reprintable?

I view them as an investment. You will always be able to get your money back if you decide to sell.

Not so sure of that if the PDF version becomes popular. Same as the PET parts list. If you can get a free electronic copy, how much is the original hardcopy really worth. That said, I have all the original books I can find, and know of. I have a few not normally even heard of. I am reluctant to have them leave my hands since my investment could disappear. I bought them because I need and use the info. The main set of manuals I purchased 25 years ago.
