Before I removed this, thought I should just double check - Where do we stand with instruction manuals?- I don't think they should be included and this one is user added.

Instruction Manual: Canon EOS 5D Mark II

I don't think that this has ever come up before! It walks the line of "reference book", I suppose, but this particular example certainly doesn't look like a book to me.

I'm of the opinion that instruction manuals included with appliances and electronics are not books. If you happened to stumble across one that is sold separately, that might be a different issue.

Oh...and I happen to own the Canon EOS 20D, so assuming its manual is anything like the 5D, I definitely wouldn't count it as a book.

I think the "author" he put in says it all. "Not sure. Probably some dude in Japan." :P

Said author is gone. So is the "book".

Thanks all

That's the best name for an author I've seen here :p

Thanks Rivka for getting rid of author/"book" and thanks Paula for brining this new twist on yet another not books items to our attention. I agree Jessica that it's the funniest name for an author that I've seen, but we could do without some humor! ;-)
