45 bucks is not cheap.


    Paolo> Moreover, it's around 600 pages, 

So, it's environmentally unfriendly.

If  you want  to  help FSF,  donate  the money  without  asking for  a
hardcopy.  That helps the environment in addition.


Isn't the manual available in Info form?  I find Info files to be very
pleasant  to read  on  screen.  I  just  need to  sit  back and  press
<space>.   (Try using  white  text on  a  black background!   Computer
displays aren't  paper.  Pretending that the computer  screen is paper
is stupid.   Black on white  on the light-emiting screen  is nonsense.
(Bold-black on white is a  bit better, though.)  A white background is
simply tiring to read.  Before you ask, try "emacs -rv".)
