I'm guessing he wants something that looks professionally labeled and
maybe shrink-wrapped.   What do you think?

I could actually have some DVD's professionally printed up (it cost < $5/per)
and shrink wrapped with printouts of the tutorial, and "sell" the combination
for $19.99/each...  but that would lead me down a road I really don't want
to go down.
