A&R launches ‘ATM’ for books
September 18, 2008An interesting article in the SMH on print on demand (aka POD). Australian book chain Angus & Robertson has ‘installed the Espresso Book Machine (EBM), capable of printing, trimming and binding a paperback book on demand within minutes.’
What will the future of books bring? I wonder if in some day, we’ll all work from tablets that show us everything we need – including spam-like leaflets and restaurant menus? Totally unrelated to POD of course, but still interesting.
A regular-grade print of ‘Voss’ could actually be described as a Flat White.
Go on, A&R -I dare ya!
