The source for the TeXbook was distributed out of the same kindness
that makes TeX freely available. The book is copyrighted
and it is illegal to print your own copy from the source code.
It is very uncool to ask how to pull the stop bits.

It even says that:

> ! This manual is copyrighted and should not be TeXed.
> \body ...l is copyrighted and should not be TeXed}

The book only costs $34, and is well worth buying.

Try asking the Tex Users Group people -- they have and sell *all*
things pertaining to TeX and its variants.
