I was just reading this evening about the Espesso machine by On Demand Books, a company co-founded by former Random House editorial director Jason Epstein. This machin can print and bind a paperback book in 4 minutes. When this thing is operational, it will be able to produce a book at about a penny a page. WOW! We have had printing on demand (POD) for some time, but this takes the cake. If you wanted one copy of a book, it will do the cover and all of the pages simultaneously and then put it together, trim it, and put the cover on.

This could revolutionize the book-publishing industry.
