Nice work Tom, thanks for sharing.

I too would be interested in having a printed vesrion of these 'books'. I had a quick look around though to see what it costs to get things like this printed and it's still quite expensive. Professional level printing is cheaper and more accessible than it's ever been, but the costs are still certainly more than what one person alone could be expected to bear, especially if copies were to be sent all over the world.

It makes me wonder if there would be enough people interested in these 'books' to get their publishing funded via 'Kickstarter' ( http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/...home_spotlight ).

I'm not volunteering to get it all organized myself, and I'm not assuming Tom would either, am just putting it out there as an idea.

Looks to me like these cheaper publishing places (like Koss linked to and like I've seen here in Aus.) would be using similar kinds of printing machines, regardless of where they are in the world. Maybe if there were professional-printer-format software (PDF?) copies of the maps made available people could get them printed wherever they like? Has anybody had experience with this sort of limited-run printing before or know if it's even feasible?
