even though all of gm service info is web based, you can still go into a gm dealer and order a paper manual through there parts department. that's how i got mine.

Get it on ebay. I got mine for less than $60 delivered. And yes, it's the whole 3 volume set and it's not the "preliminary" version. Just be patient and you'll get one eventually.

IMHO, the best set is the GM ESI Techline 2004.19

It was the last set of full DVD manuals, before the dealers went to dealerworld.

Watch the CF classifieds, there's always someone who has a set for sale. Go through several pages of ads (back a week) as they change daily with great new member offered deals.
I'm always late for a set of '04 manuals.
