An exciting announcment! Well, *I* think it's exciting. :-)
Printed copies of the OOoAuthors books "Getting Started with OOo2.0" and "OOo2.0 Writer Guide" are now available for purchase through Lulu.com. Getting Started: http://www.lulu.com/content/177729 Writer Guide: http://www.lulu.com/content/180466 (These are linked from the Manuals page at Docs.) I reformatted these books for the more common computer book size of 6x9 inches for the printed version. The interiors are printed in black-and-white. Linda Worthington did the covers and all the work of setting this up on Lulu. Yay, Linda! The Getting Started book does not include all of the chapters in the PDF, because I wanted to keep the printed version short and inexpensive. PDFs of the extra chapters can be downloaded from the OOoAuthors or Docs websites, as can the entire book (PDFs are still formatted for US letter page size). Those chapters are: * Working with the Gallery * Getting Started with Macros * Using Fontwork: Creating Graphical Text Art Objects * Creating Web Pages: Saving Documents as HTML Files The printed version of the Writer Guide includes all of the chapters currently available in the PDF version. When you go to the Lulu pages for these books, you will notice they are listed as published by Friends of OpenDocument Inc. This is a group that I (Jean) formed in Australia for the purpose of handling money raised from sales of OOoAuthors books and other items, some of them for other groups. (For example, Friends of OpenDocument Inc also provides the OpenDocument Fellowship's website.) For more info, see http://friendsofopendocument.org/ Money raised from sales of OOoAuthors books will be spent as decided by the contributors to those books. We are looking forward to getting the other books in the series finished and published in full.
