The Bookseller has this to say about the Espresso, a new Print-On-Demand device that could see customers strolling into a bookshop and asking for a copy of any book — the cheeky bastards.
I’ll admit that I was originally sceptical about the quality of the books published by the Espresso, I assumed that they would all have that “self published” feel to them, with pages misaligned and smudged jackets. But, holding a freshly printed and deliciously warm copy of Jason Epstein’s’ Book Business, my qualms dissolved.
By the way, that icky, ‘self-published’ feel is usually the result of good quality paper.
