I remember a time, when it was USUAL to get a printed Handbook with the game. The Handbook for a F-16 Sim for the Amiga had 160 pg. DCS A-10 is double that size, but 100$ extra for a Handbook is way too much. If you talking about something special, leather and so on, then that price seems alright. But at first stage i need only a handbook, ring binding is ok. Not everybody can afford that much money for a Handbook.
