Dear Knights,
A lot of the criticism seems to miss the point :-)
Part of the aim of the Book is to bring in new users, most of us here

OK, I see there is interest in users for book. What is Hans saying on this
idea?
I belive printing and selling wont be such a problem. I think about 1000
copies can be sold.
Firstly we must prepare the book. If there is interest, i'll push this idea
forward.

How about distributing the ConTeXt manuals from Lulu or someother self
