This is why I'm so glad when I find an open source project that has a book or similar that I can buy - I can expense a 50/500 book easily, getting a $5 expense for software approved is a PITA.

Maybe FOSS products should offer PDFs of the documentation as a "tip jar".

Format the documentation as a PDF, enable it on https://www.lulu.com/ and sell it for $100-200 (and a hardcover at some stupid high price).

You’ll collect a few.

I’d do that even in my personal capacity. Buy a new copy every major version release (where that’s applicable).

At least the new edition would be a worthwhile expense.
