You mean to print it out? I downloaded, printed, and spiral bound it (which isn't free of course, but less than $30 I think).jcsuperstar wrote:i want that book (ADL) in print so i dont have to pay 30 something bux for it....

Hmm, OK, I see Amazon has it at 34, 96 and 151 dollars...
I suggest the print-and-bind approach...

Hi Mike
kind regards

I paid $AUD50 for the BPS/Pariyatti edition two years ago via Dhamma Books in Australia. Its probably gone down in price since then, due to the vaguaries of the exchange rate, but I didn't think it was too great an impost. I also think its a good idea to support Dhamma booksellers and publishers when possible.mikenz66 wrote:You mean to print it out?

Re: A comprehensive manual of abhidhamma by Bhikkhu Bodhi online
Well, sure. I'd usually rather pay for a bound copy than print it myself anyway, because it comes out much more convenient, and not much (if any) more expensive.
But as JC says, it's out of print, so you can only buy it second-hand right now at an inflated price, none of which will bo back to the Publisher or Author.

Yes, about 270, so that's the order of 10-15 dollars to print and bind, which is cheaper than that second-hand copy on Amazon but is not so nice to hold...jcsuperstar wrote:i thought about printing it out till i saw it was like 270 pages or something on that link..or 170? but long...

Re: A comprehensive manual of abhidhamma by Bhikkhu Bodhi online
OK, so we're not talking about the same book...
Maybe I'll move this topic over to the lounge as its getting less and less to do with the Abhidhamma.

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …

Print one page. Memorize it.
