My office bought a full set of Ultrix manuals from DEC for $750 last
week, so there's nothing remarkable in Apple's price.  Consider,
though, that the typical Unix user doesn't need a full set of printed
manuals.  They're identical in content to the on-line versions that
fill your disk, and you'll never read 90% of the material.
