As a heavy user of these manuals, I have to say that I prefer the paper
bound versions to the old ring bound because they don't fly in 14
directions when they slide off the top of my over-crowded and messy
desktop and hit the floor.  They take up less desktop space when open
and less shelf space when stored, both which are at a premium at my
desk.  I've never had a single page fall out due to broken backs.

My one complaint, and here I side with the original poster, is that they
are hard to keep open on the desk.  I wish they were bound with those
plastic or metal splines like the old System III and the BSD4.3 manuals.
