presumably it would be ``Plan 9 for Bunnies''.

there were also infrequent mentions of a labs-authored book on plan9.
i hope it happens some day. it would be a much welcomed antidote to the
nauseating crop of "OS design in a nutshell" and "linux kernel hacking
for complete idiots" type "technical" books.

hehe
A well bound printed version of the source good would be good plus the man
pages printed out
paperloss office and all that but you can't write notes on your monitor.
any news on the packaged plan9 Vita Nuova are canvassing interest for on
their site?
what will be in it apart from the plan9 download?

Um, I believe they call it a word processor or perhaps office suite. HTML
makes a very good mechanism if you use one of the browser/editor suites
(my personal choice). I believe there's also a plug-in for Apache that
will allow true HTML, thus doing exactly this - adding reader glosses.
