I liked that shape, because it's not too tall for a normal
shelf, yet it's wide enough that all the coding examples
work without line wrap.

The binding and cover seem first-quality, too.  The paper
isn't pure white but it's acceptable.

As Joey said, a real book has its advantages.  For one thing,
the index works; but mostly I think it's easier to read paper
than a CRT.

All in all, I thought lulu.com did a fabulous job.  I've just
learned that it's a local (Raleigh, NC) company - same
guy who started Red Hat.
