Excellent!

Two questions:
1. Might it be better to include the index and TOC (in both volumes), and do something like this:
http://www.postgresql.org/files/documentation/pdf/8.2/postgresql-8.2.1-US.pdf
Vol I: 1-621, 1674-end
Vol II: 1-38, 622-1395, 1672-end
(Dropped some other things, I think...)

2. I'm not familiar with Lulu - can anyone set it up? If I would like to do one run of the manuals that way, can I?  If not, do you care to offer that break up as well?

+1 100% for having Postgres set this up and take a cut.

Well, I didn't do that, but as an exercise I split the manual in 740
page chunks (maximum size at lulu), which misses the last couple
hundred pages (old release notes and index, mostly) and put them on
lulu.  It comes to $19.33 each volume for 2 volumes.

I agree that it would be great to have them split up a bit so they
could fit in normal sized books, but there it is, if you want a dead
tree version.  pdftk is an open source pdf breaker-upper I used for
this.
