Flats are corner stapled.  Booklets are center stapled, then folded.
The booklets are arranged for two-sided printing:
Print half.  Reload (restack if needed).  Print the rest.
The abridged B&W pocket primer prints well on black-ink printers.
The others look best on color printers or on screen.

The teacher's version has space for notes on b4 legal paper.
The Power Point slideshows also include discussion notes.
Workshop handouts can print on A4 letter paper (no cuts or folds) with plain columns, or a more colorful style.

Covers printed on heavy card stock are nice for hardback and paperback size booklets.  The paperback size includes voting cards.

If you would like more numbers and logic with fewer pictures, Democracy Evolves is again free to browse or print.  It prints in B&W on the front and back of four letter-size A4 sheets.  It can be corner stapled with no cuts or folds.  The first page has the introduction to this primer; the other seven add to it at a first-year college level.
