Do you have one that you could part with?

There are two kinds of parts books.
The smaller one that fits in the glovebox and the larger one that the dealers usually had. 
The small one only shows the parts diagram with call out numbers.
The large one had the same parts diagrams but larger and the numbers calling out the various bits and a reference list of the parts numbers corresponding to the bits.
The small book is not so expensive, but the large one is expensive.

Sometimes you can find them on Fleabay(Ebay) or Facebook market place, or through MB sources.

I do have the smaller one from the Mercedesclub.de
and it is great. (Pic attached)Yet original, larger/dealer version provides quite a bit more information and detail.
I would love to have it and I’m ready to pay a reasonable price.

You can try books for cars. I have bought many manuals from them over the years. https://books4cars.com/index.php

The vdh catalogs must be used with caution. They used to revise these on a regular basis and they used to show only the part-numbers for parts that were still available through Mercedes Benz. I had several of these from different years and they were all different.
