Yeah, come to think of it, a few of manuals I've collected were from used book stores in Denver. The better ones had separate automotive-only sections, and since so many Opels were sold in Colorado--many of them still on the road--I found a HARDCOVER Chilton 64-70 (very nice, suitable for a REAL library), several copies of the very worthwhile Clymer 66-79 (good performance improvement chapter for those new to the car, & worth checking eBay for), the Autobooks UK book on the GT, & several others that have since fallen apart . . . as manuals often do. The best of them all, though, was the 71 Factory manual I found, covered in dust & forgotten by the previous owner, behind the spare tire on a GT I'd paid $200 for. :] Sweetened the deal considerably.
