[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

The GNU Emacs webpage on gnu.org (http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) has a
link to purchase the print version of the GNU Emacs manual. This link is
broken. As of now, it points to http://shop.fsf.org/product/emacs-manual/,
which redirects via HTTP status 301 to
http://shop.fsf.org/product/Emacs_Manual_24/. However, the intended
destination is http://shop.fsf.org/product/Emacs_Manual_245/.

Thanks. I have reported this to webmaster <at> fsf, since no-one here can do
anything about links on shop.fsf.org. (The whole point of the
http://shop.fsf.org/product/emacs-manual/ link is so that we don't have
to keep changing the Emacs webpage for every new edition.)

I asked the FSF staff to fix the redirect in shop.fsf.org.  Thanks.
