How strict is the 800 page upper limit for printed books? Is there a way we can increase this limit (possibly for a higher price point)? I
No, this is a technical limit in the manufacturing process.
don't want to say it's common, but I've already found one book that's larger. Foundations of Education and Instructional Assessment, First edition (there are three separate editions of it!!!) is a whopping 870 pages long, not including all the optional frontmatter that could have been included.
Since the printed books are typeset for A5 (8.5"x5.5") compared to the PDFs in the wiki (A4), those collections would have even more pages (maybe factor 1.5) when printed.
Obviously, for groups who have put so much effort into their books, I would like to find a way for them to be able to buy and enjoy them.
The only solution I can currently think of is to split those books up into 4-6 editions.
