I just received a printed copy of the LibreOffice 3.4 Getting Started
book from Lulu.com. Wow, the cover looks good on the real book! :-D

Interior's not bad, either. For the printed copies, I reduced the page
size to 6x9, which seems to work well although the text font is almost
too small and the interior (binding edge) margin is a bit too narrow.
A sans-serif font is used for the body text. Is that intentional?
I find serif fonts much easier to read on paper. (I love the look of
Gentium - unfortunately it doesn't look as well on screen as it does
on paper..)

Your observation is what is typically used in practice--using serif
typefaces for body text in print docs and sans serif for onscreen
viewing. Some editors will switch typefaces used for headings, though:
sans serif for print docs and serif in an online doc.
Why not try creating your own "print" version by simply altering the
typeface for the body-text paragraph styles that were employed the
source docs--a very simple task. Then just port out your own PDF.
