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?
