Hi RLH,
while it is great to print it out at home, let me make a better
recommendation. You can take a pdf file and bring/email it to a kiko's
and have them print it out and put it into a spriral binding with clear
plastic covers. It makes for a lay-flat open binding that facilitates
easy reading and note taking in the borders. The cost should not be
prohibitive. Maybe $20 and well worth it!
cheers,
Kev
