Is that legal? Bentley owns the copyright to all of those printings.

What's up with the "donation" part?

You can't download this without making a "donation"

Sounds like a purchase to me.

Fishy Fishy.

I believe there is a copyright violation there.

Bentley has it's own site to download their manuals from and it's more than a "small donation".

Just buy a manual and support the ACVW shops that are just hanging on in this economy!

Bentley doesnt currently support 1961-65 in CD/DVD media. If I were to pay $109.95, Id rather have the paper version anyway. After 30 years of rebuilding, restoring, resurrecting Beetles, I want to see what all the fuss is about, so bought a used book.

Question i have a few questions about the bentley manual in any form. i would like the bentley for my early bay up to 1971 ? did they print one that only had the stand up motor, and not the 72 and up flat 4 motor? can i download from bentley, just the manual that pertains to the early years?? 68-71.** i found a used one up to 1974, would this be a better choice?? i'm trying to avoid a bunch of info i dont need, like not to having all the FI sections and such.

Personally When I was searching for a Bay Window manual I was trying to compare it to the earlier Beetle manuals. I found out no comparision, but gets the job done. I purchased the "Green" 1968 up Bentley manual. Not overkill on information, and you can simply skip the sections you dont need to view.

Like the one in this ad.

www.books4cars.com has over 500 different new/used VW manuals. You just have to sort through them by year.
