2023 C5 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
I have the paper manuals and they are awesome but pricey. Other than online, the best price for new is from one of the Forum vendors. I use Bob at Fichtner Chevrolet.
A cheaper alternative if you can find it is the CD set. Its called ESI Techline and covers all GM cars including the C5. I paid about $25 for mine. It has all the relevant procedures in electronic format.
