you guys wouldn't say that if you knew how to search :-p
give me a 1000 page pdf and a 1000 page book and i'll find what i'm looking for in seconds on the PDF, could take 10 times as long in the book. i can also zoom in on complicated mechanical drawings, print things out to real world scale, and the most important part of all: many times if there's a PDF of something you can find it somewhere for free.

I think digital copies of mechanical drawings is "like a controlled substance". The authors would like to protect their copyright and PDFs are difficult to control in the open. That could explain their low availability.
