Each pages is printed with the blood of over nine thousand unicorns.

Requirements are :
- a paypal account, only one can be set by user account. The only other 
way is a bank check in $.
- a pdf X1a version of the manual (I can do this part)
- a cover taking into account the thickness of pages

I'm ok for it, I would just need the email of the paypal account. People 
would just have to send me a pdf produced with latex and the text for 
the cover.

The ISBN isn't useful, all the *Reach offer are making the basic cost 
goes up as each reseller is taking its toll.
