design guidelines on msdn

This is a very painful section to navigate as every atomic bit of
information gets its very own page. Is this information available anywhere
in a more printer-friendly version? Or even better, in a book?

Hi Michael,

Do you have the MSDN document installed on your machine?
If you have installed, please navigate to this document page in your MSDN.
In the treeview of content of your left side, right click this treenode
"Design Guidelines for Class Library Developers", then you can use the
menu item
"Print topic and subtopics" to print these documents.

Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan

Thanks Jeffrey. Unfortunately there's no difference (other than saving much
tedium, which is a significant benefit) in output between doing that
printing by hand and doing the "Print subtopics" option. That is, every
topic that consists of a single paragraph or so (and there are a -ton- of
them) still gets its own page.

For such important documentation I'm surprised there's not a more usable
format available. Is this available in bound form, perhaps in the Class
Library Reference set?
