I've now had a first stab at creating a lulu edition (and created and
open-shakespeare account ...):

<http://www.lulu.com/author/content_revise.php?fCID=8660022>

It wasn't the most satisfying experience as:

* it took 45m
* the result is far from perfect
*  it turns out there isn't enough time between now and OKCon (next
Saturday) to get a printed copy!

However, it was useful and we can probably make it better and you can
now get a "dead-tree" version of Hamlet (though not yet with
annotations incorporated ...).

I'm now looking to get a copy printed and bound in Cambridge by JS
Wilson. I think I'll look to do the Tempest as we have a cover design
for that:

@Ben: if you were able to do a by-hand one as well that would be amazing!
