The book is laid out for the paper chosen above, and the print dialog will follow it, so pick the paper here rather than there. Turn background graphics on so the cover photograph prints, and leave margins at their default. The page numbers and the chapter running heads are drawn by the browser into the page margins, so they exist only on paper: check the print preview rather than this screen for them, and turn Headers and footers off there so Chrome's own furniture does not crowd them out. Chrome and Edge print them, Safari and Firefox print the same book without them.

Working on the hollow Sitka spruce mast. Had to mov the boat onto its trailer, unballasted, to make room in the barn. Getting out the eight staves, cutting the birds mouths into one edge with the table saw. Making plugs to fit at the base, hounds and top.
