With all the emphasis on digitizing texts, ebooks and ejournals, and new ebook readers, you might be surprised to hear of a recent development in printing technology. Yes, a new company is hoping to brew some espresso buzz around printing a paperback book. New York City-based On Demand Books (ODB; www.ondemandbooks.com) is planning to become the first company to globally deploy a low-cost, totally automatic book machine. The Espresso Book Machine reportedly can produce 15–20 library-quality paperback books per hour, in any language, in quantities of one, without any human intervention. This technology and process will produce one each of 10 different books at the same speed and cost as it can produce 10 copies of the same book.
