I did the same thing. It's a good book.

So are we saying here that a good strategy may be to
just make a "quick start" (subset of Frederico Lupi's
guide probably), and also bind the entire guide, make
a pretty box and put it on the shelf and see what
happens? It's an interesting idea. I'm still not 100%
convinced that a box set will do much. Have you seen
the Linux racks at the big retailers lately? Neither
have I :). They used to be there. Maybe NetBSD is the
answer? Or maybe people just don't care to buy boxed
sets of free operating systems...

I do believe that putting a box on the shelf will
enlighten a whole different market to the existence of
NetBSD. I think it may also lend some credibility in
certain circles, although I think that kind of
credibility isn't really worth attaining...
