Went looking for a Haynes manual and found this, which is one of the
most interesting answerers to an unasked question that I've seen in some time.

 >>How Haynes manuals are written

Haynes manuals are written by a pair of authors, and take between 20
and 30 man-weeks. A car or motorcycle is bought at the beginning of
the project and sold at the end. Although the workshop phase of the
project usually lasts for roughly 4 weeks, the vehicle is usually
retained until the manual is in print.<<

On a Vanagon note I went to the beach at Ocean Shores, WA today, it
was a great day for the beach but I only saw one other Vanagon the whole day.
