I think that if an user buy an 1.6 version of the documentation it will be 
outdated very soon. Actually I don't know when the 1.7 version will be release 
but I supposed soon (1-2 monthes ?) ;)

Hum I think you can choose your fees but it should be better to get 5 € by 
book and sell 200 book rather to get 10 € by book and sell only 100 books.

But this is hard to find the good value! OSGeo-fr sold 20 books with not so 
much marketing.

Yep. But Jean-Roc know better than me the real cost.
