Shop Manual

I can't bare to pay every 6,000 miles for dealer service, especially after reading about Twinmax and Harmonizers. For sure I am going to start doing my own service. Can anyone recommend the best place to purchase a shop manual for a 2008 R1200R? So far the only thing I come up with is Amazon unless I am willing to download an electronic copy. For sure I want a full printed book to keep in the shop.
Are there preferences of Haynes vs Clymer?

I don't see a Hexhead manual listed on the Clymer website.
I have a Haynes; it's OK, but just a bit too eager to defer to factory tools and the dealer's expertise.

Thanks guys. Turns you all are right and the Clymers I was looking at wasn't for my bike. I went ahead and got a hard back instead of the DVD. Found a better deal on Ebay than Amazon. Next choice will be carb syncing tools. I just had the 6,000 mile service, so I have a little time before figuring it out.
