A little red book full of quotations from the chairman... Where else did I see this?

I think that's a very explicit, intentional reference.

Is it too early to start a first print of paulgraham.com? I want mine signed.

I hope the cover is orange.

Actually you can download the whole thing by using https://github.com/ofou/graham-essays , and then I imagine you can pipe it into pandoc or something of the sort to create a PDF. And then you can send that over to https://www.blurb.com/pdf-to-book or similar providers to get it printed.

When I attempted this once, I couldn't get the pages to be formatted nicely like a book, and the number of pages I ended up with was close to 1500 or something along those lines, which ends up costing you $100+ to print out with one of these services.

However I suspect that if someone were to typeset the essays nicely, it'd be an amazing coffee table book.
