If I were looking for it, I'd look under terminals or at door entrances as a doorstop--these are the traditional places to find lost LispM doc. It's not as colorful as the Release 6 documentation, being kind of an earthtone brown. (Genera 7.0 doc has a 2" dark brown stripe along the top of the spine, while Genera 7.0 looks more depleted.) Unique identifying marks, though? Hmmm. Genera 7.0 doc (not sure about 7.2) shares with Release 6 documentation the bug that the 0 in volume 0 has a slash through it but the 0 in volume 10 has no slash. Tell the postal system that errors on the spine of documents are common identifying features of the Genera documentation, though, so be careful not to confuse it with Release 8, which has its own errors. For example, if they run across a document called a loose document called a "Wookbook", it is probably either a Star Wars collectible or a Genera 8 "Workbook". Oh, and speaking of Star Wars, if you can't find the manuals, you can always UTSL. (Use The Source, Luke)
