$10 for shipping for a CD in a jewel case with NO printed manual?  Stardock can't be getting that cheap to short the customer a printed manual.  Is Stardock now being run by Catbert and the pointy haired boss?

A printed manual that would be outdated July when they go to version 2.0 and re-overhaul espionage? I rather not have a printed manual for games anymore...

Printed manuals are worthless for games this deep and well supported. It would give you at best a cursory overview of features, half of which would be invalidated by the next major update. You can take the cost of shipping up with Stardock, but a manual wouldn't be worth the paper it was printed on.

If you really object, the simple choice is not to order the physical copy. SDC makes it easy to run your own backup to disc, after all.

Half the fun of the original manual was seeing how out dated it was (even by day 1).
