Not that PFC manual is not less available than any other scientific 
book. You can buy it without the PFC license (37$ for "Theoretical 
Background").
The difference with most other books is actually that you can download 
it for free... There is no reason to disregard it.
I recently met a guy doing mostly theoretical research - he never ran 
any DEM simulation - who was considering this PFC manual as the best 
reference about DEM formulation. I think he was right.
