Love to have these. I have the Hardware manual already. This would give me a set. Wish me luck:-D

[EDIT]

It looks like AMC258 wants them, so I won't be the one that pushes it up any higher for you. Good Luck to you.

Jeff

Dang!  I was hoping to sell you my hardware book.  Why are there so many of the hardware one around?

@ AMC258

If you're looking to unload that same edition of the hardware manual, let me know.

I guess it depends on the outcome of the auction which I kinda hope I lose because I'm broke and I don't really *need* the books anyway, I do have the CD...

(um, not something the seller likes to hear unless you're outbid...heh...as far as payment goes.)

Still some like the actual manuals so I'm sure things will work out.

Wouldn't dare to bid even if I'd love to have them. Postage to me is quoted to be US $165.80

dude, UPS is such a rip off ... you should post USPS instead to get realistic shipping quotes and more bids from intl. buyers. Once I've have been asked by UPS 350$ for delivery of a package which failed to clear customs. I went to airport myself and got the package instead (took me 3 hours). since then I hate UPS with all my heart.

Hmmm...

realize now I selected UPS Worldwide Express for international shipments which results in extremely fast though extremely expensive shipping.

Sorry about that.

can't seem revise the options at this point.

for future reference, anyone have suggestions on a reasonable shipping method from the U.S. to Europe? or other?

Amazon has a set of 5 books: http://tinyurl.com/2yv6a3

As noted in this thread on amiga.org: http://tinyurl.com/2jh3hr

The set is US $399, so it makes your books cheap even one is missing, and shipping is high :)

Or look at it this way: You're gonna make some $$ on your books :)

I had expected they'd fetch a few dollars...heh.

(Personally, I find it hard reading and digesting technical information from a CD.)

..next time I'll pick other international shipping methods though...again, sorry about that.

That's the only reason I want the books.  I have the OS 1.x books, but it would be really nice to have this set in book format.
Don't worry, I'm not one to back out on a contract.  I'm good for my money even if my stomach is not.  I'll just have to work some more overtime during Christmas.
