What games can be in print and not found on the net?
Not many I think!

And besides that, I feel that you would get about one error pr. game if you get
one error pr thousand chars. And besides that, how are you going to separate
comments, they will not be found inside nice square brackets in the book, so
they can be fitted nicely to pgn.

So in my view, its a waste of time.
