Hi Volks,
   I am a book dealer. What Amazon does when they have an order for an
out-of-print or used book is to search book dealers, find a copy, see
if  the price is okay with their customer and then contact the dealer to
buy the book. If it is still available they then mark it up and add
their shipping. The book listings they use are available to everyone.
You can search yourself for Vanagon manuals or any other book on any
subject at:
www.bibliofind.com
www.abebooks.com
www.bibliocity.com
   Like I said, I'm a dealer, but I do not have any manuals listed on
these sights. I've sold many books to Amazon, and I'm sure I'll sell
more, but you can save time and money by searching yourself.
   Hope this will help!
