At the two links below is news of a new printing machine which does  books superfast and cheap. It's in the news because of a demonstration  being given at the NY Public Library.
  The main function of the machine is said to be the ability to do very  cheap limited runs of books the major publishers can't be bothered  with. For those who know something about the publishing business (which  I don't): If the price for the machine itself ends up being $20,000 as  quoted in the Times article, does this make it useful for left  publishers?
