Several months ago the U of A bought an on-demand printing press that can churn out books at almost 2 per minute.
Now I’m reading in Wired that Archive.org has over 350,000 books which have been scanned! They will soon be offering the printing of books for $10 plus $0.01 per page. Not too shabby for a hard to find edition.
I can’t wait until my textbooks cost $15 each.
