Open Library just scanned in the user guide for Stuffit Deluxe printed in 1994.

I miss the days when we could get a 165 page hardcopy of the manual for some archive software.

Unfortunately it requires you to "loan" it. Why would a user guide have a ISBN number assigned to it?!?!

For a user guide, that's broken...

BTW, it seems to e for either Stuffit Deluxe 3.5 or 4.0, can't tell which.

Yeah, the "loan" thing is because it is scanned in as part of their "Open Library" program: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Library

The lawsuits are still pending, but the Internet Archive is trying to create an online library that functions just like a regular library... which means that only one person can access each book at a time.

Anyways, I guess it has a ISBN since it was published separately and sold through bookstores.
