Some may already know this (but I didn't), that Haynes manuals are not being produced as hardbacks any more. Paperback only now. I guess that they won't last too well after you've been lying on your back under a car whilst thumbing through it to find that all conquering paragraph or pic to finish the job and such like.
Any hardback ones you find are old stock, so if you need one for a particular vehicle, might be best to get a move on if you don't want a paperback.

Probably won't get the paperback ones for long either before it all goes on bloody computers!

At least then the pages won't blow about in the wind!
I'm a big proponent of technology and progress etc; but for things like that, a book does have its advantages. (Except for the above).

"Refitting is reversal of removal" - thanks Haynes! My favourite line from their manuals!
