It looks like it is very well put together.

Pity they didn't switch anti-aliasing on the for the screenshots and chose
an aircraft with gear sunk into the ground!
I have previously investigated using some web-based print-on-demand
publisher to get a properly bound version of The FlightGear Manual. With
the latest revisions, The Manual is improving rapidly, and getting much
bigger so printing it out on a laser-printer is no-longer efficient. If
there was enough interest, such a book might provide another little useful
revenue stream to cover some of the server running costs.

something in the region of $20, though I don't recall if that was in B&W
or colour.
