Found a box of vintage aircraft manuals at a garage sale

I got these old manuals and they're totally different from what we use now. Everything was on paper, with pen marks and updates, not like our tablets. Do you feel like we're better off with digital, or was there a charm to the old way?

Which manuals did you get? I totally get what you mean, I used to think digital was just better in every way. But finding my granddad's old repair logs with his handwritten notes in the margins completely changed my mind. There's a story in those pen marks you just don't get from a clean tablet screen.

Found my dad's old workshop drawings stuffed in a coffee can once, the smudges told more than any CAD file ever could.
