As neat as it is, the potential problem with the Espresso Book Machine is the quality of the resulting book. IIRC, the binding was not something that would hold up very well over time. There's a limit on what it can do; you can kiss hardcovers goodbye! It does, however, get the job done; it reminds me of the Wired piece "The Good Enough Revolution": http://www.wired.com/gadgets/miscellaneous/magazine/17-09/ff_goodenough?currentPage=all http://www.wired.com/gadgets/miscellaneous/magazine/17-09/ff...

I mean, ask a librarian how well books hold up over time, and how often they need to be repaired simply from normal usage. And then when the paper itself begins to go south... (Admittedly, that was more of a problem before acid-free paper caught on.)
