Suggestion #1, Won't it be more convient for everyone who wants the docs to be able to fetch them from some ftp site if you put them there ? That way, you don't waste all your time and effort to print, bind and mail them while the users don't have to wait. They can print out the portions they need when they need them. Suggestion #2, you are not making any profit, while by addvertising on 10 or so groups world wide, you are costing someone some real money, and your customers are sending out some real $50 for each order. This then is not the thing worthy to do, is it ? To make the world turn, bussiness or individuals have to make profits, one way or another. And I sincerely hope you do. Otherwise, I suggest you go back to suggestion #1n Joe
