Kevin,

you're right that the box is smaller than before but the manuals you're
asking for are available as PDFs on the media.  We do not have the box
anymore in most of the stores.  This is indeed a lost marketing way but
this is both a result of a changing environment where many more users
prefer to download for free (I know there are others) instead of willing
to pay the box price - and a different company that does not go
aggressively into the stores.  We had a hard time pushing the box on the
shelves in the end - and even where it is still today, you see far
smaller numbers:-(
