Okay, here's the latest (2/4/95) compilation of who has what book/manual!
Sorry I didn't get this finished sooner but I was on vacation and then
training at work. I'll also be gone again til Feb. 10th for more training,
so corrections will have to wait until after that. Joe Clark: I got the
copy you sent of the 68-72 Camper Parts Catalog. Great stuff! Thanks a
lot! Okay, I have to admit: I'm not really going to be gone next week,
just in the bathroom the whole time with that and the latest VW T&A. Just
kidding.
Anyway, I think this thing is ready for inclusion in a FAQ or the gopher
site, so if someone would help with that, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

TYPE II LITERATURE AVAILABLE
The following collection of owner's manuals and other literature related to
Transporters is available from other VANAGON list members. Most of these
manuals are out of print and hard to come by, and therefore the holders have
offered to make copies for the benefit of others. Some of these manuals are
quite lengthy, so PLEASE: no idle curiousity requests. For the larger
repair type manuals, it might be advantageous to request certain sections
rather than the entire manual. In any case, "contributions" to cover
postage and copying fees would probably be appropriate, or offers to trade
for literature you have. Please contact Pat Walsh
<walshp@ippdsgi3.nawc-ad-indy.navy.mil> for additions/deletions/corrections
to this list. Thanks!
