Alejo's Tenuki

There has been a major problem on the server, that is the reason for the downtime of this site. On the meantime, I managed to discover lots of new things which I didn’t know, and which remain unknow for most users and I’ll be publishing during the next days.
Last weekend I decided to buy one of the "Elementary Go Series" and I had to make up my mind between "Tesuji" or "Attack and Defense". After checking the reviews at GoDiscussions I headed to Google’s search engine.
As I was hanging around the internet more than usual, Go Education Collection was one of the results I got. It seems like someone has collected lots of Go books in pdf format and some sgf and uploaded it to the internet. There you can find up to 650 MB of these books, including:

On the whole, there are up to 60 books; the books we can find here are among the most extended ones in the English-speaking community. By the way, I should add that there is no software included in this CD.
Depending on your connection it might take you a while, though this file was supplied quite quickly to me, you should take into account that it is 650 MB, so you might leave it downloading overnight.
I decided to take a look at Tesuji and Attack and Defense, to see if I might buy any of them and realised that Tesuji should teach me a few things still.
Trying to read it an idea came into my mind, is it possible to print this? Obviously I could print it "normally" and archive it on a folder; but what about printing it into book format? I’ve thought of printing the DinA4 into DinA3 pages on both sizes and then fix it alltogether somehow. I still have to put it into work, but the idea seems fine.
