Would love to be able to buy a printed copy.

On a related note: does anyone have good recommendations for printing services that can print and bind an online PDF, etc? I've looked into lulu.com and printme1.com but haven't used either for this purpose.

I've wanted to do something similar for some of Beej's guides that are not in regular print, and would definitely consider for this too.

I had a college course use Lulu to print the notes into a textbook. The quality was good for a paperback. I think you're limited to black and white though. The formatting of the TeX notes could have been better, but that's probably on the professor to have fixed.

I looked at lulu for printing Scott Alexander's Unsong. Their terms of service declaim [0] anyone looking to print content that they do not have copyright or a license for. That's the entire point of copyright.

I recommend that you contact beej directly.

Most local printing places (places that do business cards, flyers, and the like) will gladly supply a quote for a single printed and bound PDF. Last time I did this only had to send the PDF for a complex flight sim. Shop local!

I would love to buy an eBook version of it. That isn't the $75 Kindle version on Amazon.

Um, the second paragraph has a link [0] to Wiley's page for it, which only offers a paperback edition.
