Shop Manual Value

[PeeVee]

I have the opportunity to buy a 1970 loose leaf reprint of the shop manual for an S3.
I'd like to get an idea of what it's worth. I presume, being a reprint, not that much?

Thanks

value on a reprint? why bother?
I downlaoded mine free of charge from a link someone posted on here a while back. Took a while to print it out (and a ream of paper) but now I have a soft copy on a HDD and a printed copy in a folder..

I wouldn't pay a dime for a non-factory reprint (per Gordon's reasons), but I've bought old originals for about $35 IIRC. I bought a new, factory printing from Ray at rdent.com for somewhere around $65 I believe, which technically could be referred to as a "reprint", but it is a very good manual, nicely printed on coated paper with a Lotus binder. Between it and the original S1 manual I picked up on eBay, I rarely need another source of information.

Many thanks, guys. So it's nothing special and there's a lot of good cheap material out there.
