A5 Core rules book layout

Has anyone every considered editing the Core rules layout to fit into an A5 page size layout? Nothing wrong with the existing format of the Core Rules but I find my self owning multiple copies of it (since it's so darn cheap!) and was thinking it'd be cool to have a smaller size as well. Any idea/estimate of the time effort it would take? And how many pages it would work out to be?
Embracing the true DIY spirit of opensource, I'd like to make a custom hardcover for my core rules and it would simply look great in that old world style book size.

A mini version would be amazing. I am a former 40k wargamer and having a small travel version of the rulebook was always amazing. I find that if I carry my BFrpg rulebook with me it get beat up so I've resorted to traveling with a printed pdf version. May need to buy the hardcover soon.

You might try the tablet-friendly layout by James Lemon and work from that, once the odt file is made available, again.
