-Adobe Acrobat 9, for example, can print the PDF two-sided, two-up,

-PDF generated this way is included below. A similar effect can be

-The weird value of 30cm appears to be due to a bug in |pstops| (and in
-|psbook|: it ought to have been possible to use |psbook| and |psnup| for
-this, but that method does not allow for offsetting).
-The page margins are set to 12mm, because many desktop inkjet printers
-cannot print the bottom 12mm of a sheet; it was felt best to equalise
-this all round, at the small expense of making the printable area
-slightly smaller.
