Company says his are from original version - clear as the proverbial bell, no scanned images. I'll post the link: Wait, I'm going to go buy mine first before you all do...

Item No. 251015120662
The paper is nice in a lot of instances, but for $10 I guess I can print off a couple pages, or take the laptop out to the shop. I guess I'll get another version in paper. Clymer seems to be more available.

Regards and such,
