Skorpyo Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 It says their a reproduction, and I am a bit hesitant, but it would be nice to have a full set of FSMs, even if they are copies. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1989-Jeep-Repair-Shop-Manual-Set-Wrangler-Cherokee-Wagoneer-Comanche-Grand/361527304221?_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Dd5ca169431ae45c092b1af6bb75fee28%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D14%26sd%3D361527304221&_trkparms=pageci%253A8e6c7736-55c9-11e7-a7a9-74dbd1a0072b%257Cparentrq%253Ac6073ddf15c0a9c12f1a64d6fffcd4d4%257Ciid%253A1 Thoughts?

DesertRat1991 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Here's the reply I got when I contacted them through their website back in April: Hello, Can you please explain the physical differences between your Original Manuals and "reprint" offerings? I couldn't find pictures of the actual product for sale on your website. Am I correct that the original set is comprised of 3 bound, hard copy books? How are the reprinted sets prepared? Thanks Hello, Both the originals and reprints are 3 bound hard copy books. Both are paperback. The reprint set is printed and is of excellent quality. We make it here in house. Both the originals and reprints come with a 14-day return guarantee. The links you provided are indeed actual photos of both products.

Pete M Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 digital versions exist out there in the ether, but I really prefer the old paperback filled with page markers and greasy fingerprints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 The paperback reprints aren't super durable in my experience. Be gentle with them or the bindings will start to separate. The quality of the actual prints are just fine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinkrun Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Pretty impresive feedback I say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpnjim Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I paid less than that for the originals, I'd hold out for originals for that price, but if you can't wait, a money back guarantee is good, though shipping back and forth on 3 books if you don't like them might put a damper on the refund a little.

DirtyComanche Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Doesn't seem like a bad price. Rockauto sells them too (Bishko is the brand), but they're more money than that. I'd assume these are exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Media Mail" USPS has special rates for media. My wife is a librarian, she ships a lot of books, tapes, CDs....etc... $2 to $3 for those three books..........cheap, and most folks don't know to ask for it.

HOrnbrod Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I paid less than that for the originals, I'd hold out for originals for that price, ^^ This. As with everything else, I prefer a decent set of originals. Be patient, they are always popping up on Ebay and elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
