Actually you can download the whole thing by using https://github.com/ofou/graham-essays , and then I imagine you can pipe it into pandoc or something of the sort to create a PDF. And then you can send that over to https://www.blurb.com/pdf-to-book or similar providers to get it printed. When I attempted this once, I couldn't get the pages to be formatted nicely like a book, and the number of pages I ended up with was close to 1500 or something along those lines, which ends up costing you $100+ to print out with one of these services. However I suspect that if someone were to typeset the essays nicely, it'd be an amazing coffee table book.
In Facebook's Little Red Book
Creating a tool that allows people to aggregate writing from a website is fine. This project goes one step further and shares a copy of Graham's writing as an ePub on Github,[0] which I don't think is ethical or legal. It's Graham's writing, and he can choose how to publish, but if you're not the author or copyright holder, you shouldn't be republishing someone else's writing without their approval.
