How to assemble the pages into a booklet:

1. Print the file (paper size should be A4). You may need to adjust the page margins or the space
between the columns if it doesn't print correctly; there should be about 7 millimetres (~ 5/12 inch) free
space at the left and right margins (if you can't get it printed correctly, you can always change the lay-
out to 1 column/page, and so some manual cut-and-pasting).

2. Cut off the blank bottom part of the pages

3. Fold the printed pages, so that there is one column on each folded side.

4. Stack the folded pages

5. Staple the folded pages together at the left-hand margin

6. If you don't like the sight of those staples, cover them with a bit of sticky tape.
