I put the man page into my book, and printed a version of the Info documentation. The info documentation is not readable in printed form, in my opinion. Most of it seems to read like a reference manual (here's the list of X in alphabetical form) rather than a tutorial or introduction (here's how you do X). I think screen has an excellent man page; despite being two different docs I think I'd rather keep it and expand on it. Most GNU man pages are bad and tell the user to go read the info documentation.
