Dear org-mode developers, the manual still links to
network-theory.co.uk for the printed version of the manual.
But there is no service under this address any more (or
ATM). Even if this was only a temporary hiccup version 7.3
of the manual is quite outdated now. Therefore I propose to
remove the respective paragraph, see attached patch.
Ciao; Gregor

Thanks for reporting this.
Canceled and replaced by this change, which mentions that the
publisher closed in 2009:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git/commit/?h=bugfix&id=58a46fab
I think it is good to remember that Network Theory Ltd. was the
original publisher of the printed manual, as people may find others
options online now.

Yes, one can still buy the book used online. But then
again: Version 7.3 was released 12 years how useful is this
manual now?
But I'm OK both ways.
Ciao; Gregor
