Ours came from the government printing office (I think), and have nothing on 
a spine except a hand-written "Ada Reference Manual 1983" in red marker. I 
suspect that I added those relatively recently to keep them straight from 
the similar "Ada Reference Manual 1980" which is next to it on the library 
shelf.

There were other versions that I remember seeing, but I think most people 
had the "government" version.
