Even getting it printed today, with one of the online printing services, it still ain't cheap.But... I did buy the .PDF versions, and enjoyed them immensely. So much that I decided to print a copy and get it properly bound. A couple of years ago I printed (most of) the pages, only to stack them in a box and put them in the attack, busy with other things.One more project to accumulated dust.Until today...[ATTACH]114665[/ATTACH][ATTACH]114666[/ATTACH]Hardcover, rubber glued linen spines.
