<VV> 1965 CHEVROLET CORVAIR SHOP SERVICE MANUAL on DVD ?

[Charles Lee at Proper Pro Per]

Try searching for something that is not in the index (I always update 
'paper' indexes in books when I stumble across something)

In a paper book, it's a lot harder to find some 'catch phrase' that you 
remember, but don't recall where it was.

On disc, "Edit -> Find" works nicely, and even Windows "Start -> Search" 
will let you look for a phrase in any document on your disc(s) if you have 
the time to wait for it to find it, but it's great - and try that in your 
book collection !
