A few months ago, I had a couple of links to a device being designed that would allow one to print any book on demand.
Well, here it is (via). The first Espresso has been installed in, of all places, the New York Public Library (you would think they already had plenty of books, but maybe not...). The PR release says the New Orleans Public Library will also be getting one this year. That's a good idea -- I'll bet they lost a lot of books after Hurricane Katrina.
For now, the machine is available to the public at the Science, Industry, and Business Library until August and will only print copies of public domain works (plus a few select copyrighted titles).
