Google and On Demand Books Bring 2 Million Titles Back Into Print

As a result of an agreement with On Demand Books, Google will bring more than 2 million book titles in its digital library back to life as paperbacks. Google has granted On Demand, the maker of the Espresso Book Machine, immediate access to these files.

The Espresso Book Machine is a high-speed, automated book-making machine that can print, bind and trim a paperback book, with a full-color paperback cover, in a few minutes. The machine is available in about a dozen locations worldwide, including libraries and trade and campus bookstores, and already offers about 1.6 million titles.
