Created by a company co-founded by Jason Epstein, former editorial director of Random House, the Espresso Book Machine, manufactured by OnDemand Books (click link to see a video of the machine making a book) "occupies the space of two deli-style ice cream freezers, looks like office photocopiers attached to a tinted stereo cabinet and computer terminal. It hums, makes spitting noises, moans and then belches out a newly glued book, fresh as bread and almost as hot"--all in about 15 minutes.
