Not solicited and I also thought extremely suspicious!

Sounds interesting.  Also potentially dodgy as!

I'd say, check their standard contract VERY carefully.  Things to beware 
of
(that I can think of on the spur of the moment) -

- What control would your company have over the price charged for printed
manuals?
- What control would your company have over content?
- What grievance procedures could you follow?
- Would your company be signing over rights to have that manual printed by
anyone else (including yourselves)

Other things regarding the email itself -

- Was this a requested email?  The text of the email and the subject line,
to me, are contradictory... Which screams 'dodgy ethics' to me.
- No company name mentioned?  Errrr...?

Has anyone had experience using publishing companies to print their 
documentation such as the one below? 
My company currently doesn't provide hard copy documentation, but is 
considering doing so in the future and maybe using a service like this. 
Any advice would be great!
