As soon as possible!

Unfortunately, I don't know how long that will be. I'm going to be typesetting it myself with lots of love using InDesign. I hope the final result will be a really nice book, but it could take me a while.

Still, I plan to work on it every single day, so maybe it will go quickly.

> I've gotten enough value from it that I'd like to thank you by paying for it.

Just a thanks is more than enough, but buying a copy of the print book will be the best way to throw money at me (short of showing up at my house and making it rain, I suppose).

this is where marketplaces like fiverr.com really prove their value - you could pay a couple of people 20 bucks each to do a 90% job of typesetting and you could finish it up later.

YMMV - but you dont have a lot to lose. You could be surprised by the time you save.

Have you perhaps considered LaTeX/XeTeX? Would get you incredibly beautiful typeset foundations, then you can customise it a lot further.
