<p>Early 1990s I co-edited three doorstop-size technology books for
McGraw-Hill. They said it was cheaper for us to produce
camera-ready copy (at $15/page!) than to do it themselves. So we'd
print pages, send to them, they'd mark up, send back, and we'd
decide what to do. We didn't make all changes because some of them
were nonsense -- changing command syntax, inflicting confusing
language/punctuation. <br>
</p>
<p>We made more on typesetting than we received as advance. And for
better or worse, we owned the final product -- mostly clean but
including some doozies.<br>

You can use it, then — as long as it’s part of a conversation.
