Does anyone know if the new printed spiral bound BIAB Manual is out yet at $10 (plus $10 post to the UK)? On the 6th February I was e-mailed to say it would probably be ready within a couple of months. Here's hoping.

Don't know, but I would buy one. Listening, Peter? Later, Ray

I work in a print shop environment and I sent an email to the folks at PG asking permission to offer 3 ring binders w/ full color manuals for 25 bucks (basically just covers cost) but they never got back to me. Peter if you're reading this a lot of users would like one but I don't want to act without your blessing

I would be interested too....for studying, paper is still useful. You can underline and take notes. Reading pdf's can be very tiring

Would like to keep this thread alive. Is PG going to offer a hard copy BIAB manual? I found things much easier using the old hard copy manuals. If not, please give the OK to Zan. Later, Ray

I received a bound manual in my order, it was for 2009, but had a 2010 addendum in it. I am curious as to why others did not get one.

My last spiral bound volume was BB Version 12.... I have SEVEN blue addendum booklets since then, but no new bound volume.

Hardly seems fair. I want the 2009 also...

I've been a member since Version 8 and have only received the blue update manuals that come with the software. Got a ton of them. Am I missing something? To Peters credit though, I do have a lot of PDF files and CD's that explain "how to do" everything.

I can confirm that the Windows 2010 BIAB Printed Manual is now available. I shall be purchasing my copy today for $10. Such fascinating reading in bed at night and so much more usable than a .pdf what.

Ray,
I understand the only way to order the Manual is by phone.

Thanks, Richard. Ordered it this morning. It'll be so much better working with BIAB and the manual in front of me at the same time. Later, Ray

I just ordered my manual as well. $10 for the manual and $5 for snail mail. Rob at PGMusic told me it's 300-something pages. So I'll be able to store away all the update manuals now and have some good night-time reading.

My copy arrived in the U.K. via $5 carriage, within a week. What a service. It is 320 pages in all, by the way.
