My office bought a full set of Ultrix manuals from DEC for $750 last week, so there's nothing remarkable in Apple's price. Consider, though, that the typical Unix user doesn't need a full set of printed manuals. They're identical in content to the on-line versions that fill your disk, and you'll never read 90% of the material.
