ATM for books?

This news piece in the November 2 issue of Time magazine is a bit of an eye opener. An ATM for Books.

It describes a printer that can publish a 300 page paperback book in a matter of minutes and could be used to create on demand copies of hard to find titles.

On Demand Books Inc. is still in a fledgling state, but it will be interesting to see if this kind of service takes hold.
