Q. Do you issue printed catalogs?
A. We regret that we do not issue a printed catalog. Our inventory is so extensive and changes so often that it would not be economical to print a catalog. What we offer can be found on our website (www.photobooksonline.com) and ebay. On ebay, we offer original instruction manuals, repair manuals, photographic literature, camera books, monographs and technical photo books as well as used camera equipment. Please visit (neatphoto) for our auctions and (photobooksonline) our ebay store.

Q. Why don't you offer a shopping cart service?
A. We don't use a shopping cart service because many people are unable to distinquish what they need. They might order first and then ask a question afterwards creating lots of extra work. That is not to say we won't have one in the future but we need to put alot of time and study into it.

Q. Is photocopying or Xeroxing used in the production of your manuals? Or do you use scanning and laster printing?
A. We use state-of-the-art Canon Image Runner black & white printers which scan the image and produce black & white laser copies. This is not your typical self-serve Xerox copier you find at an office supply store. Each page is corrected for density, printed double-sided on 20 lb. white stock, folded and stapled down the center. View the quality of our instruction manual reprints.

Q. What is an instruction manual reprint?
A
. An original manual is what you get from the factory if you bought the camera new in a box. A reprint is a high-quality reproduction of the factory original. Since production on many cameras have been discontinued, acquiring duplicate factory originals becomes difficult. That is why we offer reprinted instruction manuals.

Q. What is the difference between an instruction manual and a repair manual?
A
. Instruction manuals show the user "how to operate the camera" and take pictures with the camera. Repair manuals show the repairman "how to take apart",clean, lubricate and fix the cameras or shutters.

Q. Are the instruction manual reprints you list in their original colors?
A
. The cost of reprinting in color is too high to maintain our low prices. We take great pains to ensure that all text, photographs and graphics, no matter what the original color, are totally readable. Each page is analyzed and adjusted for density and contrast.

Q. Do you offer your manuals in pdf format?
A
. We do not offer our manuals via CD, PDF files (electronic downloads) email or fax.
