ebay link please
 

Could you post a link to the one you recommend? A friend bought an ebay manual years ago, that wasn't what it was supposed to be, and I'd like to avoid that.

Get this hard copy if you would like a comprehensive manual

That's the one I use along with Tis. Though for the N62 it is far from comprehensive. :( For that the 7 series manual works better from what I've read.

The one I bought doesn't include 50i (at least the digital delivery doesn't). They sent me the CD so fingers crossed once I go somewhere with a computer that has an optical drive I can find out if the CD covers 50i.

From what I checked out on non 50i it was very complete.

Which engine do you have, I can confirm it's covered and I can sell you my copy while I look for 50i version.
