the manual for version 4 was ring bound. I was dispointed when manual 8 arrived.

Freshly printed manuals is the #1 cause of global warming and the ice caps melting.

The ring binding is kind of handy to keep flipped open and all, but I didn't like how the little bit of paper inside the coil was always getting gnarled up...kind of surprised I never completely mangled a page and had it fall out, as much as I've opened that manual in the past year.
So anyway, I'm saying I like the new more professional binding, and the smell is almost ditto-machine tasty.

Agreed. The Cubase 5 manual is also nice to get high on
All 685 pages of it (plus a 100 page quick start manual) and the plugins document is only on the .pdf ...
Sonar 8 PE's manual is over 800 pages long. I liked the ringbound type too, Live 6 had a ringbound manual.

Logic Pro 8 manual = well over 1,000 pages. It's not a book, it's a weapon. Seriously. MASSIVE. .....and THEN there is the totally seperate instrument/FX reference, another 600 or so page book....

Mine smells like glue and gives me a buzz. It's also black and cool-looking.
Anyone wanna buy a Live 5 manual?
