By coincident, my supervisor was talking about print-on-demand stuff today and gave the example of the lilypond docs. I said that it'd be a thousand pages, which would be rather expensive. He was surprised that it was that much, so I counted (for f in *[a-z][a-z][a-z].pdf; do pdfinfo $f | grep Pages ; fi). The non-translates docs are 2137 pages. Not a typo; we have over two thousand pages. (granted, that counts table of contents, index, LSR extracts, etc... but it's still a lot!)
