I don't see any point to doing that work.  The pdfs look good enough.
I have my own laser printer so I don't think I'd buy a printed copy of
the pdf's, but someone without a printer might find it worthwhile, and
I might buy it if I only had my old inkjet printer.  I wouldn't pay
extra for nicer formatting though.

I haven't felt so far like I needed hardcopy (except for some Tkinter
I downloaded, where a printed copy was very helpful).  What I really
want is better documentation, not nicer printing of the existing docs.
