I suggest that considering postage costs and delays 
 we need two outlets --- one European
and one U. S. and Canada. I have the sense that Context is more used 
in 
Europe than here. But perhaps some readers can respond to the list 
who are on this side of the water and who would pay for a copy of
one or more books. 

With POD technology creating and even binding the books would not be
difficult. The use of color on the pages presents a problem however. 
On my laser printer (yes, I finally printed them out) the section
header pages came out gray on gray, not something someone would pay
big bucks for :-) But color printing either from POD or a copy shop
 would be a bit pricey. So perhaps a pdf file in black and white
 would be needed.
