Well, I didn't do that, but as an exercise I split the manual in 740 page chunks (maximum size at lulu), which misses the last couple hundred pages (old release notes and index, mostly) and put them on lulu. It comes to $19.33 each volume for 2 volumes. I agree that it would be great to have them split up a bit so they could fit in normal sized books, but there it is, if you want a dead tree version. pdftk is an open source pdf breaker-upper I used for this. http://www.lulu.com/content/863723 http://www.lulu.com/content/864445 - Ian ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
