Fellow Listees,

8 or so hours later and I already have 17 names.  I am well aware of the
customs, duty and tax hassles which may present themselves.  If Haynes
isn't willing to give us a good break on the manuals and the shipping it
may be better to order individually or take Ron up on his offer to get them
for us.  All I want is to get this manual at the best price possible.

Just in case you have missed them I have included below some of Sam
Bateman's comments and opinions on the manual he has received.
