I have real Bell Labs V8 and V9 manuals. The former is comb-bound like
the System III manual, and was a gift obtained via BWK. I paid $50
for the latter; I remember exhchanging email with Doug about getting
it. He said something like "I have to check if we can sell one to you." :-)
This was circa 1993, I don't remember exactly.

The V9 manual is perfect bound.  I'd offer it for scanning, except
that that would mean destroying the binding, which I'm very loath
to do.
