We haven't gotten them back yet (this is expected some time early next year) but if they come out like our 3.0 manuals they will be a total win. (The only disadvantage is that it's nearly impossible to add your own local pages.) Cost seems to be (50,$2000), (100,$2000), (200,$2500)...

When we get them, if they're good, I'll publicise the name of the print company (they're in NJ) and people can probably work out some kind of combined deal - the demand inside the labs was incredible (900 manuals) and since everybody in the labs runs the non-Berkeley version of UNIX, I expect the combined demand on the outside would knock down the price real quick.
