Anybody read a good manual lately?

If you're like me, you get a thrill going through a new calculator manual with your new toy.

I miss the days of spial-bound, HP-34C/HP-29C proportioned manuals. Although the last manual of that design was the HP-33S (even though it wasn't spiral-bound). Much to my chagrin, the HP-35S came without a standout manual. But, thanks to Eric Reichlin (my apologies for spelling error), I was able to order a magnificent 35S spiral-bound book!

It just doesn't feel the same going through a 20-page leaflet styled manual.

Why are scientific calculator manuals like this nowadays?
Any thoughts?

I usually read parts of the manual pertaining to whatever I am doing. The last manual I read fully was the HP 32SII.
