Let me clarify: Helm is the US distributor of Honda's manuals: Owners, 
Service, part-numbers, everything. You will not find a _legal_ manual 
(i.e. Honda, or with Honda's permission) for sale _new_ in the US that 
didn't come from Helm first. You might find legal, new manuals for less 
than Helm sells them for, but I've never seen them.

So, the one that I recommended is the original one, also. Finding the 
best price for such things is left as an exercise for the interested 
shopper. ;-)
