I've probably spent $10k on books and manuals over the past 20+ years, which isn't much. I could spend 10x that much, and not even put a dent in what's out there. Remember, this is what I do for a living. Tools are my life, and manuals are tools. Not to mention, whether I like it or not, I need new ones every year. I try to save money by getting Mitchells when another shop replaces theirs, but sometimes I don't have a choice.
I had a customer a few years ago with a 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon, and it needed a new air struts up front, and some electrical gremlins found inside, and my generic Subaru books didn't cover it in depth enough, so I had to go to the dealer, and buy 2 of the 7 manuals they had for that specific year and model. $75 each! Worst part is I've not had another 1990 Subaru Legacy as a customer since, but when I do...
Take care,
