Default Official GS Shop Repair Manuals

Does anyone know where I can buy/subscribe to official Lexus Shop Repair Manuals? I would assume these are all electronic now...but yeah.
When I owned BMWs, I use to get the Service Manuals from Bentley Publishing, as they were only 1MY behind on my BMW. When I look online, I can't even find anything close to MY2017 Lexus GS.

That's a good question. I used to get mine from an outfit called Helm when I used to drive GM cars. Someone here will know, if not,I'm sure a Lexus tech will know.

I worked at Nissan before they it moved to Tennesse in 2006 producing diagnostic manuals on DVD. I assume all manufacturers are similar now.

No printed manuals anymore, only TIS subscriptions.

It's a bad move on Lexus' part for owners. $400 per year??
I paid $150 for my 2001 GS430 manuals, and they were there whenever I needed them.
I'd happily pay for a pdf or something, but the subscription service is too much.

Between youtube and these forums, you can get your hands on the materials you need to make repairs, so why are they making it so expensive?
