of a business called books4cars or books for cars in seattle wash. bbb not accredited and bad reviews. bought a fsm from the(they say it is a fsm) and payed for 10/29/2020. orig eta 11/10/2020. no response from them until i asked for tracking number and eta on 11/4/2020. said they would have tracking number later that week. still no response from them. i responded to them on 11/10/2020 after the mail had run and told them it was not here. then i get an email from them that gives a tracking number not yet any good and an eta for 11/19/2020. now i am close to st louis mo and it should not take 3 weeks to get here. just want members to BEWARE of this seller.
 
I just dealt with them on EBay. I bought a 65 service manual and it was taking forever to ship. So I messaged asking if they even had the book. I got it but took few weeks and I’m only a state away.

Yes it was the 65 dart/coronet service manual. I bought it on 10/2/2020.
 
i got that manual, covers 66 models too. PM me if you need a page scanned.

Not sure if it's the same outfit, but I had the same experience, finding a company that had a manual I was looking for (for someone else - non-mopar) and them not sending the download link after 2 weeks - canceled the order

I have a problem with them maybe your manual is different. I bought an assembly manual from them and the watermarks are so intrusive it is nearly unreadable in places. They need to "scale back" on that a bit.

I think they improved their assembly book. I just ordered one for my 69 Dart. It does have the watermarks but they are workable. I can see through them and read everything. I'm with you on your original thread though, do they really need a dozen of them on every page? I get their right to protect intellectual property but it's a bit excessive.

As info, most of these books I order get delivered on a pretty casual basis. Media mail is dirt cheap for a reason - it takes weeks to get what you'd normally have in days.

What do the Assembly Books have that the factory service manuals don’t have?

I have the FSM, whuch has served me well so far, purchased about 5 months ago.
Assembly manual might be helpful if I knew what details it has oppossed to the FSM.
Stuff like fender braces, trim clips, window mechanisms, etc?
