I agree, $18 is pretty steep. Especially since there is not a whole lot of content really. Well there is quite a bit of stuff in there, but not 18 dollars worth per say

What kills the price at lulu.com is the color printing. It's ten times the price per sheet. The binding price is interesting too. It's $5.50 just for the small binding I chose. The rest are no better, but 5 bucks for binding? :/ That's expensive glue and staples. I don't know, the service is convenient, but I'm hoping for a better price from somewhere else. It does always leave open the possibility of generating a yearly set of issues in a nice format though.

Well if all else fails if you want a physical copy, you can always warm up your local printer and put in the Standard Letter sized paper and print it off.
