My personal theory is that you can never have too many shop manuals for your car. For the Fasty, I've got the requisite Muir (25th) book, and T3-specific books from Bently, Haynes, Chilton and Clymer; for my B*g I've got another Muir (16th edition), Autobooks, Haynes and an old hardcover Chiltons that covers through '66 (really dates *that* book, doesn't it?). I go between all of them, some have more about a certain part or procedure than others. It's rather unfortunate that Cylmer manuals are out of print, as my Cylmer manual for the Fasty is almost as good as the Bently, IMO.
I haven't bought any of my manuals new -- check with bookstores in your area that buy and sell used books. I paid less than $10 for my Bently, $5 each for my Muir manuals. I also scored an Autobooks manual, in mint condition, for the 411/412 models for $0.75 at a Goodwill store. Just keep your eyes open.
