Alfonso dissertation

[mikekn]

complexated suggested I check the Arizona University library, and from there I was able to download a free PDF copy of the dissertation. It's a hefty 1,441 pages (6 MB). I'm still going to look at getting a bound copy, but it isn't as urgent a need.

Awesome!!! Thats only 720 pages duplexed and I think Kinko's can bind up to 150 pages or so in one nice spiral bound book. So you have a few easily transportable volumes!! :)

Heh, could be fun to try. I wonder what it would cost for them to print and bind it (sadly their website doesn't give me all the prices).

You can do it online on Office Depot and Staples' website - upload the file and see how much they'll charge for the binding and everything?

Kinko's wouldn't let me (too big to bind), but Office Depot did. Total Print Job Price: $731.68 :)

I assume there aren't any bookbinders in the SCA who can help a brother out?

Come to think of it, if I ever get sucked in, that might be a nifty trade to learn.

There are some folks doing bookbinding, but 1441 pages may be a bit much for them :)

(So yeah we could totally hook you up with folks to learn bookbinding)

Don't print that on your home printer ok?

Oh, and you could have linked to the PDF in case anyone else wanted to read it. :P

There isn't a nice direct link available. Go to:
http://etd.library.arizona.edu/etd/index.jsp
and search for Sonja Musser as the author.

This might also work:

Yup that worked..

Here's a tinyurl for it as well, in case you ever need to send it easily to someone else.

If you want, I can print out a few hundred pages of it a day and get it to you. Binding will be cheap in comparison to the printing. I had 5 books made a few weeks ago at Kinko's ... cost me around 23 bucks for them. Not sure what it would be for the biggest binding they could do .. but you could find out.

This all of course assumes you don't want it bound into one huge book.
