For modern sets, you can also get a PDF from the official site: https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/buildinginstructions/7622...

One of these days, I want to learn enough computer vision to write an LEGO instruction booklet to LCAD convertor that could be fed old instructions and generate a 3D model of the set. An archive of the instructions is nice, but a virtual archive of sets would be nicer.
