As the manual has no copyright notes inside it wasn't protected had it been printed by Shelby. In the US a copyright note was required until 1989, but not in the UK. So I think it is not possible to sell copies legally...
I believe Acedes Holdings LLC is the registered holder of certain AC trademarks.
