Hi Bob,
    Once you have a factory workshop manual you'll wonder how you ever managed 
without it. Unlike the manuals of many other British car manufacturers, the 
Triumph manuals are not filled with jargon and read easily.
Price in the UK would be around 20 pounds for one in top class condition, down 
to about 10 pounds for one which is a bit dog-eared. You can buy reprints for a 
little over 20 pounds but they are reduced to A5 to fit 2 pages onto each one, 
much more difficult to read.
While you're shopping you may be tempted by the factory parts list, another 
publication you'll be glad you bought for reference,
    Cheers,
        Bill.
