PDF of EA Handbook?

By Simon Holm @ 2022-08-15T07:39 (+2)

I would love a physical copy of the newest version of the EA Handbook, and if one has a PDF file, you can use Blurb to get a book of it (much like this this method with HPMoR).

Does anyone know an easy way of transforming the handbook blogposts into a suitable file to print?

Is this something CEA would even approve of? And how would you do with copyright in general?

Is this something other people would like, too?

Pros:
*Personal preference for physical books over digital blogposts (in terms of enjoyment and easiness to pick up and read)
*Easy to hand out physically to people that are curious about EA and use at, for example, physical intro fellowships

Cons:
*Possible time spent on making the PDF file.
*Highly inefficient when it comes to updates to the handbook.
*Does not contain the richness of links as the online version.

Hi Simon, thanks for this question! We understand and are sympathetic to the benefits of making the handbook available as a PDF/printed book. For now, we don't have copyright/authors' permissions to do this and so we can't currently make the handbook into a printable version. If there is enough demand, we might re-visit and try to make this doable in the future.

Hi Jesse! Thanks for replying, and good to hear that you are also positive idea, even though - the answer seems to be clear here. I'll hold my thumbs for the future!
