James - The difference is Mark is not demanding that someone do something NOW, because you would like a printed manual.
Dizzy organized the effort, researched what format, size and grouping of chapters make sense in each volume, prepared the masters and arranged the print run, then took orders, collected funds, manually packaged and mailed the manual sets all over the world. Then he did I believe 2 additional print runs when more folks showed interest. There can be no question that Dizzy gives lots of time freely to benefit the community.
The fact that you happened to discover all this years later, and want another run done so you can purchase a set, is not cause to criticize Dizzy, and demand he prioritize this effort to satisfy your whim. While he has indicated he would do yet another run, I believe it's reasonable to conclude he has been busy with other things in life, and will get to this when he has time.
If you need a set so badly, I have a set of printed 50g AUR manuals I'll sell you. These are the original sets sold by hpcalc.org, which are essentially the same except they are 8.5 x 11 (also spiral bound) instead of the smaller size Dizzy uses, making them easier to read, but a bit larger to handle.
Please contact me off list if you'd like to purchase them. I suppose this offer is open to other folks too, but I'd give James first choice as the offer was motivated by his request.

I've been exchanging PM's with Bob and would like to publicly express my humble and sincere thanks for his extreme kindness in offering me this wonderful opportunity. As I mentioned to Bob in a PM just a moment ago, the two manuals will certainly be put to good use. A thousand thanks for your generous offer, Bob!

Sure, happy to help. It's better the manuals are appreciated and used, than sitting in a stack here. I feel a bit like Santa on the Island of Misfit Toys...
I'll have some prices shortly. Stay tuned.
I'm interested in a set also. I missed the first several rounds. Now I'm in Europe most of the year so shipping should be easier and cheaper.
I would buy a set if you have any stock.
I'm also interested in a printed AUG.
I would like a set as well.
I would be very interested in purchasing a set also.
I also would like to jump on the bandwagon, to add more weight to the cause.
Dizzy, the one who organized the printing batches, does not show here since mid 2019.
I think it's unlikely another batch, unless someone wants to take his place.
I have the manuals from the first batch, Dizzy really made a good job for the community.
Let's hope he reappears.
Cheers
Does anyone know the dimensions of the AUG Dizzy printed? Was it front and back? Was the paper stock heavier than normal printer paper?
I would love to acquire a set of printed manuals.
Where do I sign up and how much $$$?
See two posts above yours.
I propose using a chinese book printing service, but someone has to organize everything (set up a messenger group for people interested, ordering, resending). After the 50g being so long out of production, I think it's rather unlikely we get a significant number of participants.
Hi all,
FYI, the Dizzy set looks like that :
Dizzy Set
210mm x 150 mm excluding binding for a total 2kgs...
Having moved to newRPL, I will probably sell my set in the Classifieds section.

I bought mine 33€ from this vendor a year ago.
It shows at 69,99 euros now!
That's tooo high.
@floppy mentioned a site in Germany which does print-on-demand in this post https://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-20...#pid175224
I haven't tried to price out any doc but the shipping is reasonable.
I agree that the price is very high now. I was curious and priced it at around 25 € on the mentioned supplier.
