What would be really cool is if all of this information was readily formatted and readable on something like Wikipedia, with all of the sourced images, and then people could "print" their own personal book copies through a great printer. I can already order custom books for my toddler with his name woven into the books illustrations from places like Uncommon Goods.
It sucks there is no inbetween from <send webpage to desktop printers> and <buy a niche book that needed $750k in crowd funding to even exist>.
I'd love to be able to ship myself beautifully printed and bound books on all sorts of free information.
- TylerE 3y agoThe original kickstarter was for $150k, not $750k. They went way past what their minimum target was. The issue with doing print on demand is that it basically limits you to doing industrial inkjet printing. “Real” offset printing will produce a sharper, higher quality result, and is more amenable to using nicer paper stock too.
