Cool project! How replicable is it? It could be interesting to have it for other people ;)

@nico_lrx Nice idea! It's actually easy replicable so it won't take much time to adapt it. :) Give me names! 😅

@aviggiano Glad to hear it. ☺️

I much prefer paper over digital. I wonder if we can call this Volume I and get it offered as a printable book with simple, but nice formatting? Then, when there's sufficient additions for a new volume, we could publish Volume II and so on.

@joshuapinter Great idea but not sure that's possible without author's permission! :))

@dreamture So you can create an eBook without the author's permission but not a physical book?

@joshuapinter Physical book = $ to produce = $ to sell = money exchanged for somebody else's work. You could always download the epub and print it yourself :)

@balindenberg Makes sense. I'll find an eBook to paper service and post back if it's any good.

@balindenberg @joshuapinter how did this end up going? printing to paper?
