Question Bishko Manuals

Anyone bought a service manual from Bishko? Just wondering how reliable they are? http://www.autobooksbishko.com/Items...nual/3174.html

Thanks

Are these originals or reprints? Anyway, there's an original on ebay right now for $8 with three days to go.

Reprints. Thanks Joe, I saw the one on ebay, but I think I would rather have one that I know has all of the pages and isn't falling apart, if Bishko is reliable.

The trouble with most reprints is they are copies of copies. call them to verify the quality. If it is a copy of a copy most of the pictures won't be clear. I know form experence. The originals are usually better

Somewhat off--but on topic. Who has the best assembly manuals? I need one for my 69, but I have seen a lot of chatter about the poor quality of most that are out there. Thanks.

Reprints are bound reproductions. Trans and wiring diagrams were originally printed in color and repros are black and white.
