Hey Guys,
Just called britbooks. They said we wuould need to talk to Haynes
directly, and we would probably need an order of 5,000. Does anyone know if
haynes has a WEB address?

Hey Jim (and list)
What if we made up a list of everyone who wanted a Haynes manual and
sent it to "BritBooks" or "Amazon" or some big book store. Maybe if there was
enough copies wanted we could get Haynes to do a run. I'm going to call Brit
Books and see if this can be done. I would like a second copy of my haynes for
the TR6.

Yesterday, at 12:46 pm, list member Dave Eaton posted a note to
the Triumph list about a Haynes TR250/TR6 manual for sale.
An hour later, the seller posted a second message to say that
the manual had been sold. I'm going to guess that the second
note resulted from the number of emails the seller was likely to
receive from hopeful buyers.
It's obvious that there's a considerable demand for the Haynes
TR250/TR6 manual, and properly so. It's also obvious that Haynes
hasn't the slightest intention of reprinting it.
I have a Haynes manual (it came with the car), and I'd like to
have a second one in case I want to loan mine out, lose it or
somehow destroy it. But I'd feel guilty buying one off the
Triumph list - if I have two, that means someone else has none
at all.
So what would happen if a source of bootleg bound photocopied
manuals just happened to turn up?
It wouldn't be me, you understand. It would be some, ahhh,
"anonymous" guy . . . yeah, that's it.
Just curious.
