If sites offer them online for free, How long would it take for the buying market take to dry up, so None Of Us could get the books ?

Which Truck ?
Buy the CDRom from www.motorhaven.com

It is the exact copy of the Ford Orignal shop manuals.
It also includes the Sales brochure & Wiring diagrams.

Did you know the Haynes Manuals for
:65-73 Mustang
73-79 Ford Trucks
66-72 Bronco
69-86 Ford vans

The Chiltons:
61-86 Ford Vans
65-73 Mustang,Cougar
Plus numerous others are *Out of Print*

Yes there are a few illustrations available for free.
But on here we can't allow anything on here that will violate Copyrighted material.

I haven't studied the effects of the internet in that way.

My comments were more to do with commerce.
(Why buy it, when I can get it for free)
Some day that resource will dry up....Then what.

I do know that even without the internet, book publisher's stop publishing certain books.
Maybe once the copyright problem is resolved,things will get better.
