Martin,

  • p. 127, comments at step 010 ... I cannot find the local label 11 ...
  • p. 132, lines 7-10, duplicate text?
  • A slighly wider inner margin ("Bundsteg") could avoid holes being punched through some of the text.
Otherwise I am very happy with the manual and appreciate the work that went into it - even if it falls into the battleship class of manuals with its armor plated covers ;-). The metal spiral binding is very nice and handy, much better that those cheap plastic or perfect bindings.

Since you started this way let me tell you that you should have referred to ISO 9001 instead Wink
Anyway, to your points:
  1. That should read 03 instead (must be a very old error, found it in v3.1 already). Thanks for reporting Smile
  2. Thanks again - that's a younger one.
  3. That's what I recognized first when I got that batch - the next print batch will get 3mm more inner margin (there must be some asymmetry in the cutting machine - compare the inner margins on opposite pages). The proof print wasn't spiral bound so it couldn't be detected earlier Sad
And the armored covers Wink allow the manual standing upright. Smile Try this with an HP manual ...

d:-)

P.S.: Thus the manuals of next batch will contain 372 pages. And they will have those errors corrected (and also the one reported by Didier). So much about the CIP (cf. ISO 9001, 8.5.1). Smile

Edited to correct a typo in a foreign language.

I just returned from my holidays and found the package at home I was longing for.
Of course the first thing I did was to unwrap it to discover its content - it's wonderful!!!

Although the holidays are over this book and the awesome WP34s machine will make sure for a long and exciting summer. Thank you, Walter and Pauli (and all other contributors) for the great effort with this calculator and its documentation!

I received my 34S v3.3 manual in the mail today (I live in NY).

Walter, it's truly a beauty!

Others have covered some very minor issues, but the only thing I've noticed is the inconsistent gutter (where small portions of content have been drilled through on some pages, but without affecting readability) and you've noted that this will be corrected in the upcoming 31S manual (and likely future runs of this one). I look forward to some quiet time to sit and enjoy this. And it will even lay flat without me holding it open.

It was tough to beat the v3.2 manual Walter, but it seems you've done so. Thank you and Well Done!

I have received the manual Monday, July 28, it took 10 days to reach Montreal, Canada.
I am impressed, perfect format, superb binding, great content, a top quality owner's manual. 8-)
Félicitation Walter pour ce travail exceptionnel.

One 34s manual received in San Antonio, TX.

Never seen a higher-quality product of its kind.

Thanks,

My hard-copy of the 34S guide arrived this Monday and only today I managed to pick it up at the Post Office..

Nice print quality and contents.
Thanks, Walter!

Mine's been here for about a week now, and it is top notch.

Walter, I've received today both 34S v3.3, 31S v1.2 Manuals.
Compliments, very very nice, well done, they look better here than in the pictures Smile

Hi Walter. I'm attending HHC2014 and saw Jake's spiral bound copy of your WP34S manual. How can I order a copy of the spiral bound version??
