[NTG-context] Printing ConTeXt books on Lulu? (Was: A new manual)

2006-11-01 Thread Geoffrey Alan Washburn

I figured I would try adjusting the subject to make the query a little 
more apparent.  Would it be possible to purchase some of the books on 
ConTeXt via Lulu?

   Speaking of printed manuals, it struck me the other day that an interim 
 solution would be to use Lulu (www.lulu.com) to obtain printed copies of 
 the existing manuals.  However, it would probably be best if the folks 
 at PRAGMA ADE were to handle this to avoid some of the copyright issues, 
 and they might as well be the ones receiving any profits from the sales.

That wasn't my question.

 
 In short, Lulu.com is a print-on-demand publisher with no costs  
 involved for the
 author: He or she uploads a 'book', specifies bindings and his/her  
 royalties,
 and if someone purchases the book, it is printed and send to the person.
 A percentage o the royalties goes to Lulu. In particular, one can  
 choose to publish
 a book w/o royalties, then it will only cost the printing expenses.  
 Downloads just cost the
 royalties, if permitted. Finally, the author can choose among a range  
 of copyright options.

That would be why I said However, it would probably be best if the 
folks at PRAGMA ADE were to handle this to avoid some of the copyright 
issues, and they might as well be the ones receiving any profits from 
the sales.

Yes, I've seen the rather impressive array of documentation available 
there, but I have a bit of a soft spot for being able to reach for a 
book.  However, this is easily solved -- I just wanted to make sure 
there wasn't something better than printing and binding my own copies of 
the documentation available electronically.  Thanks!

Are there any books on ConTeXt?  Or is all available documentation in 
electronic form?  Thanks.
