My review of Faxon book, 1967-1969 Dodge & Plymouth Body & Electrical Assembly Manual

Faxon spends money to obtain original manuals and have them unbound and scanned. Then they have to print and bind a copy for sale. Therefore they include the watermark in order to have you buy the copied manual. They have printed original manuals for sale as well as some of them in digital form. It is a small business and should be compensated for their expenses.
They were kind enough to give me a tour of their warehouse when I drove there to pick up original shop manuals for my cars. They are good people.

I understand all that, but the watermarks are a bit over-done. As I said, "the camera" sensor does not depict accurately what "my old eyes" actually see. I am not tremendously unhappy, given the "these used to be impossible to get" but I won't be buying anything else from them if the other printings are similar in watermarks
