It's interesting that the benchmark of what is a 'fair' price is what the
aftermarket manuals sell for. Once you see the real OEM one, you'll have
paid double what they're asking given what you get in value in return.

Same here, my uncle was an aviation machinist and mechanic in the Navy
during WW2. I have a lot of his old manuals for aircraft engines,
airframes, etc. I read them all of the time!
