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? |

My original Haynes paperback copy fell apart from use years ago. I separated all of the pages and the cover pages and placed them in a three ring binder. It now lives in the garage full time. I keep a Haynes hardback copy on my book shelf for reference. Even though this copy is not abused, the binding is starting to crack.
The original Haynes manuals had green covers. The most recent Haynes have a different cover and the cover material and pages are noticeably lighter weight. Attached image(s) |
