After getting to know that there will only be a black and white manual, and that plus shipping to me could cost me $60+. I decided to print my own.

Cost breakup

HP DeskJet 1180C cartridge =$ 25.50
A4 Paper 110 gram =$ 2.50
Ring binding and title lamination =& 3.00
________
Total =$ 31.00


What do you think ?

Looks nice but to be honest: I want the extra content of the official printed manual! And how do you end up with 60$ ? That's a lot of shipping costs!

Depends where he lives. If it's somewhat 'remote' shipping can cost nearly as much as the product itself.

Pics are broken for me ... can't view them to give you a review of how they look (I think it's just work servers blocking the site though).

Very nice - I'm inspired! I was going to do mine on my B&W laser printer, but it looks like I'll have to go pick up some ink cartridges now that I've seen yours.

Hmmm.......when I clicked on the picture my virus program went nuts with all kinds of warnings and about 18 windows from that website opened up faster than I could click them off. Something ain't right with that site.

Yep, not right.

I had just looked at the photos in the post before, but after reading your post I clicked on one using Firefox on a Linux box and it blocked multiple pop-ups. The number just kept climbing, but it was over 10 before I closed it.

If your selling going to sell these and its got a great deal of picture references then count me in for one. It looks great yep

It's copyrighted material, he couldn't sell it. Or at least it would not be legal.

Glad someone is trying to help people, instead of raping them.
