  I need to talk to them about saving me some boxes and stuff for my
imminent move (last one for a while thank the gods), so I will ask them
then.  About how big is the LaTeX'd version of the manual, page wise?  I
don't have LaTeX on any of my systems right now, so can't check.  If
someone can give me the general page count, I can start the ball rolling.

  Would we want _real_ hardcover, or should I get a range of quotes?
