The founder of RedHat, Bob Young, has a project that enables the printing of books on the fly, on demand. > http://www.lulu.com Pretty nifty deal for budding authors and for cases like this when there is a short lifespan of a reference material. You just upload your text in the format / size you want it printed in, sell the books, give the order to lulu who will then print it, ship it, collect the money and give you the profit. Of course, one book costs more than a thousand. But, you control when and how the order is placed to get a quantity of orders placed at once. It's a win/win.
