The API reference guides are on-line in insight and are just API listings and do
not have the man pages to try to keep them to a short and printable form.
The general feedback that we got was that including the printed man pages
was NOT worth the cost in trees :-)
However, if being able to buy printed man pages seems like a real advantage to many,
we can add it back as a separate order.
It'd probably cost around $200 for the set or maybe half that
for just one. Shocking I know but for these low volume printings of big books it
isn't cheap. Go to Kinkos to make a copy and it will cost you a whole lot more!

May I also suggest that you check out the API search tool in the performer_tools
subsystem. This is very handing for checking out and searching API and man pages
and sample programs, both C and C++.
