I think they would go well.  If we provide free CDs as usual, with no
frills, and in contrast a really good printed manual and a CD maybe in a
small case or at least a sleeve (possibly with a printed label?), I'm
sure that people would be happy to pay.

Also, manuals without CDs would sell well, I would guess.  Hard to
estimate, but at _least_ 20-30 or so.

Anybody here ever sell printed manuals at a show who might have better
numbers?

However, the guide currently talks about NetBSD 2.0, so if 2.0 is not
out by mid January, would it be wise to sell the guide in that
``edition''?  (Actually, I think that's ok.)

Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so.
