The white manuals - where are they?

[+atari2600land]

I want a complete set of them, but I can't seem to find a picture of them. I tried AtariAge, I tried Atarimania, nothing. So I took my own picture. Why wouldn't the site have these? And what's the deal on them? When was the deal to make Atari part of Warner Bros.? They say "Atari, a Warner Communications Company." These are my favorite Atari manual style.

I believe these white manuals only came with the 1977 gate-fold launch titles.

And Warner bought Atari before the 2600 came out.

The white manuals were not issued with the gatefold boxes. Gatefold boxes had the smallish-sized black manuals.

That is correct, many of the early titles had the black ones.

Damn. 10 files, nearly a gigabyte of scans when unzipped! Wow! I wish there were more "credits" inside the archive!

 

I downloaded them all, and they will un-RAR if you're interested! But if that's a pain for anyone else, I could perhaps mirror them in a single RAR or ZIP or maybe even convert this collection in to a Torrent? Maybe all of the PDF's should be uploaded to Archive.org?

 

And, yes, it includes scans of White manuals, Smaller black manuals, and even other specific manuals (for example: Space Invaders: Large White, Small Black, and Sears Black).
