 The manual is five years old. the pattern has been to issue
 additional documentation rather than update the big manual. 
 I printed mine out, have it in my manual rack, and it is getting
 worn out from use. 

Worn out from use is one of the better things that can happen to a manual.

 You may as well print it out.
 I have not heard of a new edition pending.  


Mmmm, I'm also looking for a printed edition of the ConTeXt manual.

Does this ML have publishers subscribed that have some VC to burn?
Or does see someone else see a possibilty for a ConTeXt book?

Adam Lindsay and I are planning on writing one. We've got a detailed  
outline, but our schedules have been conspiring against us so far.
