One project that fell by the wayside was printed versions of the new electronic APRs. They fell by the wayside because the price was, well, kinda high.

But still, there might be interest. I know that *I* would rather read something like APR on paper rather than screen. One “print on demand” service that looks generally appealing charges $0.20 per page plus $1 for “perfect binding” (i.e. the square “paperback” style binding) plus postage plus whatever markup the publisher asks. So for a 100-page issue of APR, that’d be $21 for the printing and binding, plus postage and whatever the markup is (10%? $4? 5%? Dunno). For a 150-page APR, that would of course be $31. Expensive, but something you can put on a  bookshelf and not be embarassed by, and not lose in a computer crash. Page sizes are limited to 8.5X11… no large foldouts.

So, to the point: anyone *seriously* interested? If so, I might start re-paving the existing eAPRs for a printed format (only after v3N1 and V0N0 are out the hatch, of course), starting back with V1N1.
