A hardcopy version (in multiple volumes) will follow
I want to voice support for this specifically. I like my reading on dead tree and am routinely disappointed to find good material that isn't available as a real book.
pretty thoroughly proofread
If you don't mind me asking, is the proofreading/editing being done in-house, or did you get a professional editor to handle it?

As far as I understand it was done via the MIRI volunteer platform.
LessWrong is getting ready to release an actual book that covers most of the material found in the Sequences.
There have been a few posts about it in the past, here are two: the title debate, content optimization.
We've been asked if we'd like to produce the audiobook version and the answer is yes. This is a large undertaking. The finished product will probably be over 35 hours of audio.
To help mitigate our risk we've decided to Kickstarter the audiobook. This basically allows us to pre-sell it so we're not stuck with a large production cost and no revenue.
The kickstarter campaign is here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1267969302/lesswrong-the-sequences-audiobook
If you haven't heard of us before we've already produced some sequences into audiobooks. You can see them and listen to samples which are indicative of the audio quality here.
