I know some of the Adventure Path Player's Guides came in both print and PDF versions. The most recent ones are PDF only. As I prefer print editions of things, I was wondering why you stopped producing print editions of the PLayer's Guides?

Because we want the player's guides to be free, and print products are hard to justify making free due to the costs in printing and shipping and storage. We made the first few free because they had to double as introductions to Golarion and we wanted to get as many people as possible looking at what we were doing in the year after we stopped being a magazine company.

Any idea if I wanted a printed, bound version if a print shop like kinko's is allowed to do that?
Yup! Although places like Kinko's tend to be pretty timid when it comes to printing out and binding PDFs, I believe. Only printing and binding ONE copy of a PDF should, of course, vastly improve your chances of not being haunted by overwhelming guilt! :)
Yeah, I ran into this when I tried to get my local Kinko's to print out my Pathfinder Scenarios for Winter War this year. I had taken these in before to get printed, and since I was only printing out one, no one batted an eye.
This year, no one in town would do it, even if I was only printing out one copy for personal use and I could prove that the watermark had my name on it.
Thankfully, I have a better printer than I used to.

Ok cool thanks! I might run over there tomorrow and see what they say.
A local bookstore might be getting one of those on-demand book printers, which would be awesome too. You put in the ISBN and out pops a perfect-bound copy of the book. I know you can upload your own book for printing as well, so maybe it'll take pdfs.
