My grandfather in law swears on missing manuals for his eMac and if you have unpacked some Mac recently there usually is no manual at all. Other devices are the same and so in an entrepreneurial move O'Reilly picked up the task of delivering manual to the people so they could use the gadgets they deserve -- and with most gadgets made oversees it makes perfect sense to insource the manual production by outsourcing it to O'Reilly to avoid expensive and for the customer confusing translations of manuals which make perfect sense in their original language...
The latest addition "Your Brain: The Missing Manual" actually prompted this post. This really needs entrepreneurial spirit to extend from gadgets to everything without a manual -- now they are really on to something and I am waiting for the competition catching up with "My Brain for Dummies" and the "Idiot's guide on using your brain"
