So I imagine this is simply not possible for scanned books.

ok as far as it's private... ;)   good to know.

but what about beeing a little more public, just for out of print book.

So for books where it's possible (pdf with fonts included) on
Stephane's page, we could add a link to Lulu...

This could also, be a small funding source for ESUG or squeak
fundation, I don't know...  Issue here is probably the legal one...
and I have no clue on that ! In other words, does the fact that
original authors allowed online publication would allow
lulu-printing... ? I guess it's not that simple...

Thanks anyway,

Cédrick

ps: BTW, I finally got a real copy of the blue book... as Ian kindly
proposed me to be the intermediate... :))
