Serious efforts have been made to save paper when writing this book. Occasionally, I’ve printed a chapter I was working on, but I’ve tried to avoid this as much as possible. I’ve printed the full manuscript only once to revise it for the final review. Paper is too valuable to waste! See http://www.panda.org/savepaper.
