GNU does sell printed copies of their documentation, although I don't know whether they do the elisp manual. Try... https://agia.fsf.org/order/ I can't see the elisp manual on this page. You might have to mail them. It's worth mentioning that while getting a tree based copy is good for the FSF, in general its better to read it within Emacs. It's bundled with recent versions of Emacs (I think), and it will always be up to date. Cheers Phil
