He thinks we need a book that is less than 1 pound and can fit easily in whatever bag an OLPC XO could be in. Not sure how many pages this would be (especially since page weights matter), but The Love Book (which Jef referenced originally) is 96 pages as of his last count. Making it sized for the OLPC would work by using the apparently-standard size of 6"x9". Not sure if Lulu can do this. Jef posted a braindump to the bottom of the wiki, I'd advise reading it. -- Ian Weller <ianweller@xxxxxxxxx> http://ianweller.org GnuPG fingerprint: E51E 0517 7A92 70A2 4226 B050 87ED 7C97 EFA8 4A36 "Technology is a word that describes something that doesn't work yet." ~ Douglas Adams
