Are all assembly manuals the same?
I just bought an assembly manual.
The quality looks pretty bad. In many pages, the top 1/4" to 1/2" is missing.
Are all assembly manuals offered by the different vendors the same, or are there ones who are better quality and clearer?
Any recommendations?
Thanks

They are all reproductions, unfortunately poor quality but better than no direction at all. My 77 does not have electrical wiring diagrams. I don't know if that is the case with other AIMs. 
However, with a little squinting mine serves the purpose!!

I have two copies of the 1980 AIM from different vendors, both copies are pretty much clear and seem largely identical to one another. I would expect the Forum vendors (like Mid America and Ecklers) to have a quality product.
The 1980 AIMs that I have occasional difficult to read parts of a page but NOT the 1/4 and 1/2 page problems you noted.
I have a '69 and a '71 AIM. Both are what I would describe as fair quality.
