PERSONAL PRESSES(POD or COD?)

This is where we all began-
with a personal printing press a la Gutenberg.
To have Expresso Book Machines in independent coffee houses
is an idea whose time has come!Demographics alone
dictate that a reading public becomes a writing Republic/
that small presses producing small works in small numbers
allow P .O.D to defeat C.O.D mainstream book marketing.
As large bookstores close,smaller versions of boutique presses
become more than vanity presses-they fill a huge need for art
that is accessible,instant and more than copy shop quality.
Small presses rarely go to STAPLES or OFFICE DEPOT
as the love of books is not a shared value in those printshops
One can produce one's own volume-it will be stapled(not perfect bound)
The "Trance of Insignificance" has been broken.MAKE YOUR OWN BOOKS NOW!
The machine of the future is waiting GO EXPRESSO!
