Alain Faucher's transcriptions

I have a few of Alain's books so I know the standard of his work, but I'd like to get an idea of what you get for you money when you buy one of his individual transcriptions, which are currently 12 euros + postage (ie nearly nine UK pounds each).

-are they scored by hand or good quality print like his books?
-decent quality paper or cheapo?
- standard notation and tab?
-Do you get any performance/technique notes?

Any other info would be good to.

So they are handwritten? He doesn't use scoring/notation software?
