Although still 'on vacation' here on the forum, I think you can still email Walter using the forum link in his profile, but if that fails, let me know in a PM and I can get you a direct address.

The details are in this thread: http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-3612.html

Also, note that Walter has recently suggested he is reconsidering the public (unlimited) release of the v3.3 manual, due to the mature nature of the project, so possibly it's best to hold on a short while to see if that (hopefully) comes true.

Last December, I got a PDF copy from Walter that way. I think the cost might have been 11€ or something. I have the printed book as well, but when I want to find something (and the documentation is *packed* with details), searching the PDF is really quite handy. I keep a copy in my Dropbox so I can access it from wherever I happen to be working from.

I didn't mind having my name in the footer of the PDF to help prevent copyright abuse. I am hoping though, that he considers removing the giant yellow "PLEASE RESPECT COPYRIGHT" watermark from every page. I think that is jarring and in fact unnecessary if the owner's name is in the footer of every page already.

But watermark or not, it's a great manual and a worthwhile purchase. I've said it before, but the footnotes where Walter caustically opines about all sorts of stuff are hilarious. I believe that he added a bunch between the free v3.1 and the final v3.3. Good stuff.
