Re: Which set of FSM should I buy?
The loose leaf version is from Helm. They were selling them in that version for a while a few yrs ago; one of my ZR-1 bros bought one about 5 yrs back from Helm. It takes up a lot of space as the binders are very big, and the paper is heavy stock. It has it's advantages as the paper is stout and can be handled a lot before it gets dog eared.

Re: Which set of FSM should I buy?
Thanks guys, feel like a dummy asking, but I don't want to fork out $160 and find out I got the wrong thing. Gonna go the ebay route. If there's any pages missing hopefully I can get someone from here to email me a scanned copy.

Re: Which set of FSM should I buy?
The red ones come with "paper-thin" paper (Ha Ha)
so, yes, they tear easily. But thicker paper results in a much thicker and heavier book. It's not so much tearing the pages, but getting grease all over the place. How do I know? That's why I own (2) sets. |

Re: Which set of FSM should I buy?
Just picked up the 1990 FSM for $60 and the LT5 supplement for $25 on ebay. Both are used but appear to be in excellent condition? We'll see. FYI, on the publisher's website it says the set is not currently available.
