You should buy it. It's a good book. Here's a "Temporary"(TM) fix though.
Change the following lines...
\loop\iftrue
\errmessage{This manual is copyrighted and should not be TeXed}\repeat
\pausing1 \input manmac
\ifproofmode\message{Proof mode is on!}\pausing1\fi
To this
%\loop\iftrue
% \errmessage{This manual is copyrighted and should not be TeXed}\repeat
\input manmac % \pausing1 \input manmac
%\ifproofmode\message{Proof mode is on!}\pausing1\fi
