- This is quite some money. Wouldn't it be cheaper to put everything on computer
- media and typeset it electronically? For example Oxford English Dictionary is
- done that way, what means that tools are here. The charming thing is that it
- becomes much easier to make any corrections in such edition and even publish
- more different editions. Beside this, there are no problems (virtually) with
- fonts etc.
