Yep and print copy has publication date buried in detail online.

Thesarvo also has the printed version available via digitalprintaustralia

Postage is $4.70 (0.16 kg) , $5.90 (0.32 kg), or $11.90 (0.75 kg)
(free download pdfs only via Lulu I think)

"I am a bit annoyed with lulu.com now though, as postage has gone up a lot, and prices are in $US which isn't so good anymore. They generally take 3-8 weeks to arrive."

I am starting to think that this may be a plausible approach for printed guides to less popular areas, given high upfront costs in getting say 1000 guides printed.
Probably with an ebook option also.
Taswegians leading again?

More feedback on print quality welcome, thanks.
