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. -- John Culleton, john@wexfordpress.com Able Indexers and Typesetters http://wexfordpress.com <------------------------------------>
