The books are blocked into files containing 50 pages. I am afraid 50 pages will still be too large for many printers. Some illustrations are so bulky that, unfortunately, some printers are unable to accept even a small number of pages. If you need to split up some files, I suggest ghostview.

As for Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF), I am still waiting for someone to make a working converter for UNIX machines.
