Last time I asked there was no way to spend money to get the main sequences in a neatly bound book. I suspect this is still the case. Would anyone be willing to make this happen for money? I don’t know what all is required, but I suspect some formatting and getting the ok from EY. I want two for myself (one for the shelf and one to mark all to hell) and a few for gifts, so some setup where I can buy as needed is preferable (like Lulu.com but I’m not picky about brand) and printed-up stapled pages don’t work. Maybe $100 for the work and $100 to EY/Miri? Flexible on price, and if that’s way off no offense intended. And of course if not being on dead trees was a principled decision I respect that.
The quality of the project is likely higher than someone doing $100 of work to compile a book for Lulu.
The core dilemma is whether it’s worthwhile to wait for that project to come to a conclusion or whether it’s better to create a separate version from the one MIRI is working. The sequences are licensed as CC-by so there nothing stopping anybody from making a book out of them.
And of course if not being on dead trees was a principled decision I respect that.
I highly doubt that. For the kind of ethical framework that Eliezer presents such a decision would be strange.
Ha, shoulda checked my original request ’cause that sounds really familiar now that you say it. I hate duplicating efforts more than I hate waiting, and if more informed people than I think that it needs editing I’d believe it. So many Christmas presents though… :)

There seems to be an effort underway to get the sequences into a book format which includes an editor going over everything.
