J Sales is not known for good print quality, the one thing they don't tell you. They also are bound with spiral bindings, similar or the same as an "Ibico" type binding ( I have one of these binding machines ). Appears to be photocopy print quality. The binding does allow the manual to lay flat with pages open, just that type of binding may not hold up as long. It seems this outfit has information on quite an array of equipment, surprised they don't offer a higher print quality line up. I recall asking several questions regarding the quality of print etc. etc. with no response, so buyer beware, just a FYI, as I'm aware of many people who have made these comments as well, have seem some of their prices, some of which seem kind of high for photocopy quality print, especially the pictures which are important. Just an observation. My preference is to find a good quality original and or like what Caterpillar used to offer through a printing outfit, but is now in house again, which is a professionally done reprint, quality binding and print quality that you can make copies of particular sections then take to the shop and are disposable, while your original is kept out of the shop, although sometimes youjust have to bite the bullet and run to the sink to clean off the oil and grease from ones hands ! On my HP 6110 all in one printer, I can enlarge the page to make it easier to read,with a good quality print to start from, the resolution is better and yu don't lose so much when enlarging to mek things easier to read. Some manuals are tough to lay flat. Ones that are small and thick, the bindings get creased heavily. I'm sure everyone has their own preference, but I thought I'd mention it. Check here on E-Bay, always decent originals up for auction:
