Lightbulb Unix Commands in PDF

I am really starting to learn quite a bit about the Unix "Under the Aqua." Recently I have been seeking a way to print out all of the Unix commands from the online Manual (man) so that I could put them in a binder.

As it has been pointed out to me, this would result in a lot of trees being slaughtered. Especially, when most of the commands I would never use.

A solution to this would be for Apple to create PDF documents with the online manual formatted and ready to print. Obviously, due to PDF limitations, it would have to be broken down into multiple documents. Apple could break them down into the 8 primary sections of the online manual and then break down the larger sections like (one and three) into subparts based on how common and frequent each command is used.

I just want a printable version of the online (man)ual that is formated and ready to go. I will decide how much and which commands I want to print...even if it means wiping out a forest!
