I know that it is available online for FREE here, but I like printed manuals myself. Anyone order the book, or is it books? Different books for HB and sedan? Any info appreciated!

I'm not even sure if there is a printed form of the book; I Thought I'd read that it was PDF only... either way its the same book for the sedan,3dr,5dr all in one book. A quick way to get a printed copy would be to contact a place like kinkos and ask them how much it would to print out a PDF thats xxx page's long and to have it put in a binder/s.

I personally would just purchase a 3 ring binder, a hole punch, and a frest ream of your favorite paper and start printing :), should cost you all of $10 bux or so

it's 3 books i believe (repair man, bodyshop man, and tranny man), they also have TSB's, and bulletins to buy extra, , and very expensive in the hundreds for them, like others have posted i just print out a section at a time, for the job I would be doing at that time, and then file them, because i know i won't be doing any tranny work, i don't need that section to read...

I'd have to agree, I am working on a few application packets that run over 100 pages for government agencies. They require several copies be made and Staples has been a huge advantage for me since it costs under 20 bucks for over 300 pages. Kinkos may even be cheaper since that is their specialty (just not one close to my house.)

they usually frown on copyrighted material, such as manual's , but you may get away with it.

Does it say "copyright of Toyota" anywhere on it? I dont have the book on this laptop...
I might have a solution for you guys though, I'll know by tomorrow and will let you know then.

Funny, Kinkos didn't seem to mind me coming in with a CD of the pdf files and running off a hard copy for me.

It's been several months, but if I remember correctly, it was less than 20 USD. All you'll need to do is burn your pdf files off onto a CD, you should only need the pdf files, then just have them print and hole punch them. Then what I did is organized the sections in a large 3-ring binder and indexed them with labled-tab binder dividers.

The paper version is over $200 from the dealership.
