  You should buy it.  It's a good book.  Here's a "Temporary"(TM) fix though.

  Change the following lines...

\loop\iftrue
  \errmessage{This manual is copyrighted and should not be TeXed}\repeat
\pausing1 \input manmac
\ifproofmode\message{Proof mode is on!}\pausing1\fi

  To this
%\loop\iftrue
%  \errmessage{This manual is copyrighted and should not be TeXed}\repeat
\input manmac % \pausing1 \input manmac
%\ifproofmode\message{Proof mode is on!}\pausing1\fi
