Hi Jason, you can contact Bill Romano for a very nice full-color PDF version on DVD in the "Resources > Vendors" section above. Or drop me a PM.

Ordered my C manual (B/C complete) from Charlie! Great to have a source for these! Nothing beats paper when you're actually working on the car!

Harold,

I have all the original manuals, but I don't like using them
due to the ware and tear on the original Porsche binders. I
also have these manuals on my computer, but when I'm working
on my 356-C, its a MITA to come into the house and get out my
original manuals, or log onto my computer with greasy hands!
Seems like I make a mess on my original manuals or on my
computer when I do this!

I have a whole shelf of Charlie's manuals, I have driven over them and it doesn't matter, it's a reprint!
Seriously, the real ones look great on the coffee table, but they are too valuable to be used.
Email Charlie and buy them all, you'll be glad you did.
