Allergic to latex would be one reason, for others it's that they
make your hands sweat profusely.

Neil,
I'm just a Diy'er, not a pro mechanic.

The original post had to do with Haynes manuals. Once you use a real
manual, you'll never go back to a Haynes.

Understood, still, sometimes stuff shows up on e-bay and there's
P2P also.

I've got one Haynes manual that I've had for about 27 years, it's
on air cooled VWs, and gets used on the rare occasion that a bug
shows up at my door. Needless to say, the content is very
frustrating.
