I have one of these if anybody's interested.

Here it is in PDF format:
http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/showthread.php?5013-IBM-Technical-Reference-Manuals

In this eBay auction it's the one on the left:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-PC-XT-a...219?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256880c413
That wasn't my auction -- I'm just using it for the pics. :) I don't have the 'Personal Computer AT' or the 'Personal Computer XT and Portable Personal Computer', just the 'Personal Computer XT' volume, #6936808.
 
First, let me note that this manual is not cosmetically perfect. It has some water stains at the bottom of some of the pages. Those stains are 1/4" to 1/2" high at most on the affected pages. And, the affected pages are those in the first 10% to 15% of the manual. None of the pages are stuck together nor were they ever. The manual is fully functional and all the pages are complete. If you like I can get some pictures of the affected areas so you can see what they look like.

Also, there are a few additional sections at the end that were not in the PDF version I referenced in the OP. These are:
1) Option Instructions -- IBM Monochrome Display and Printer Adapter for IBM Personal Computer including switch setting charts.
2) Option Instructions -- IBM Monochrome Display and Printer Adapter for IBM Personal Computer XT, including switch setting charts.

If you want pics I'll post them here. If we are going to discuss price we should do it via PM.
