It's hard for me to say regarding this manufacturer, and the company who is offering the product I posted in this thread. I'm sure they would take action if they did not grant license to duplicate their manuals/books. These copies have been offered for quite awhile now, I would imagine they are aware of it.

For some time, Midland Press offered their re-prints, under license, but Cat has since taken it back in house, they being the original manufacturer offer a good quality re-print for $50.00, for their older tractors. I realize that making the information available is a good thing, especially when the original manufacturer is no longer in business, but using this one as an example, I don't think the photocopied product justifies the price they ask. People have bought these, only later to realize that the print quality, especially photos and diagrams, are useless, not legible, yet they paid top dollar for them. Do they tell you this before you purchase, no they don't. So, although I may seem a bit abrasive on this subject, I think it's only fair to the buyer to know what they are getting.

For $29.00 more you can get a lesser quality manual with a typo on the cover, so for more you get less ? Don't make sense does it.
