wow This is a good idea

The Expresso Book Machine really was a good idea.

Northshire Bookstore in Manchester Center Vermont has this Espresso Book Machine. Wish I had been able to stop long enough to get a book printed when I was there last week! They had a selection of what looked like very high quality books they had done from local authors using the machine.

@barejakamal For books with copyright.. the copyright owners will get their cut automatically. For new authors it will give them the ability to make books without a contract with a publisher and they can order books depending on sale. No need to invest hard earned cash for 1000 books in the beginning. Schools and universities can use this machine to print one book that contains parts from several other books where they only need a few pages. No longer need for copies with bad quality.

@barejakamal This machine will cost you about $100.000. It is NOT something people will have at home. Bookstores will benefit from this, since they can cut down on inventory - and they do not have to return unsold books to the publishers that will send them to pulping.
It is not competitive on high volume selling books, but for rare books or books no longer in print it will be a good solution. It does not offer embossed covers or with gold/silver print and so on.

Publisher will lose its earning as you start work in your office. Booksellers will lose business, you steal and print
