Prints fine, very readable and great, but there *is* something missing. 
Could you try a mock up with a smaller size for the font (may help 
people convert the ASCII on the page into pictures in their brain), and 
a full square graphical line frame (to contrast the ASCII inside the 
frame), and perhaps laying some pages differently where possible? Mixing 
it up Peanuts style, maybe even with a little overlap.
