[xeroxing pages is] a good alternative,
especially if you only need a few pages.
.
But be careful with that--copy paper is generally a
heavier grade

True, plus a person making Xeroxes in a hurry may only xerox to one
side of each page, doubling the number of pages needed.

A lot depends on your mode of travel. A big book is more hassle for
someone backpacking than for someone who's cruising around in a rental
car.

Except that if you're renting a car you do rather tend not to hang about
much but a backpacker spends a lot of time waiting for the next
bus/train/aircraft.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
