Williams Blue Book Parts Catalog - Is it worth $60?

Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?)

When I ordered one of these from Marco, the picture on their website
was of an original. The description did nothing to give any
indication that it was not an original. The manual that arrived was a
photocopy. A good quality one, but still a copy. I eventually was
told that they had no originals left in stock. Same for many of the
other manuals on the website...

It is a nice book to have, but they ought not be showing it as an
original when it is a copy...

I ultimately was able to locate an original...
