45 bucks is not cheap.

So, it's environmentally unfriendly.
If you want to help FSF, donate the money without asking for a
hardcopy. That helps the environment in addition.
Isn't the manual available in Info form? I find Info files to be very
pleasant to read on screen. I just need to sit back and press
<space>. (Try using white text on a black background! Computer
displays aren't paper. Pretending that the computer screen is paper
is stupid. Black on white on the light-emiting screen is nonsense.
(Bold-black on white is a bit better, though.) A white background is
simply tiring to read. Before you ask, try "emacs -rv".)
