A copy shop where they grab whatever bleached-to-death paper they have at hand, print it using consumer-grade powder toner with questionable quality and longevity, and if you’re lucky you will only pay slightly more than you would’ve for the industrially produced book? (And not significantly more.) You have it the other way round: copy shops for books exist – they are called print-on-demand book services. Amazon is doing a whole lot for example. These are production lines with huge digital presses, running almost completely automated, spitting out individual books each tied to a specific order (starting from one copy). The average copy shop and its glorified office printers will never match it in quality, and especially not in quality per dollar.
