efaq: Getting a printed manual
3.3 How do I get a printed copy of the Emacs manual?
====================================================
You can order a printed copy of the Emacs manual from the FSF. For
details see the FSF on-line store (http://shop.fsf.org/).
The full Texinfo source for the manual also comes in the ‘doc/emacs’
directory of the Emacs distribution, if you’re daring enough to try to
print out this several-hundred-page manual yourself (Printing a
Texinfo file).
If you absolutely have to print your own copy, and you don’t have
TeX, you can get a PostScript or PDF (or HTML) version from
<http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/>
