I have Mr. Prochel's primer AND work at Kinko's and so am qualified to 
say thet it is even below Kinko's quality.  Many of the pages are 
crooked.  The copy was obviously mastered from a larger, spiral bound 
document so you can see the binding on many of the copied.  The booklet 
is held together by staples concealed behind duct tape.

For an extra $1 per book and some time making a straight master copy the 
overall appearance would be greatly improved.  As it is, if I saw this 
sitting on a table at a convention, I wouldn't pay $15 for it based only 
on appearance.  With a little effort it could look much better, nearly 
professional.  Certainly, a professional appearance would help sell the 
contents.
