My Haynes manual is falling apart. The spine is ripping (my fault), but the book seems to be made cheaply. The pages are thin and the pictures are not clear. I bought in new on Amazon. How do I tell if I'm getting an original or some 4th generation photocopied one? No FLAPS has them in stock.
I'll probably have to tape it (not my first choice) or take it to a bindery (like FedEx/Kinkos) and have them punch holes and spiral bind it. Anyone done this? |

That's a good thing. My analogy is that a tattered manual is akin to a battlefield scar; it's a Badge of Honor. I know from reading your posts that you aren't afraid to work on your 914. A stranger can look at your tattered, oil stained manual and know the same about you! My manual has loose pages. loose sections, grease fingerprints, scribbled notes, highlighted paragraphs, underlined sentences and several Subaru pages stuffed in between it all.

I bought one new - tore it apart and out each page in sheet protectors.
