15: 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 file etc/ORDERS.

  The full TeX source for the manual also comes in the "man" directory of
  the Emacs distribution, if you're daring enough to try to print out this
  440-page manual yourself (see question 18).

  If you absolutely have to print your own copy, and you don't have TeX,
  you can get a PostScript version from

    ftp://ftp.cs.ubc.ca/pub/archive/gnu/manuals_ps/emacs-19.21.ps.gz

  This site requests that you please *confine any major ftping to late
  evenings or early mornings, local time* (Pacific time zone, GMT-8).  A
  DVI version is also available from:

    ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/emacs-manual-6.0.dvi.gz

  and all prep mirrors (see question 89 for a list).

  A WWW version of the Emacs manual is available at

    http://asis01.cern.ch/infohtml/emacs/emacs.html

  See also question 14 for how to view the manual on-line.
