How much would it be to email the PDF manual to someone like Kinkos and get it printed? Effectively, that might be the cheepest solution because it is print-on-demand.
What I would suggest is, rather than hoping somebody has the bankroll for one LARGE document, somebody might take a close look at a PostgreSQL Documentation Project to break down those 1600 pages into three or four "manuals" that would be more reasonable to print one at a time.
Not only is Kinkos (or their competition) in business to do this type of work, but you could have printed only the chapters you needed. The docs used to be separate: Language, Programming, Administration; perhaps others that I've forgotten. Same number of pages, more binders. :-) I'm a great fan of dead-tree editions of books: I can read them in bed, on a plane, while waiting for an appointment, etc. Sometimes I just print the page or two that I need right then. OTOH, the digital form is a lot lighter to carry on trips; it fits comfortably within my notebook computer. Rich -- Richard B.
