Got a shock myself recently when I decided to get a complete set from the local pilot supply shop. The shop said that within a few months of the price rises, their turnover for these docs was down to 20% of what they used to sell...and this was dropping. People apparently share the docs now or just sell them to others as required. Goes to show the depth of intelligence at this section for Air Services. If anything, the docs should be cheaper to encourage more people to have them and thus be a little more familair with the contents.
