At DK we have been doing a lot of thinking recently about the future and about how we are at the tipping point of how people will read and access information. It’s an exciting time and we have really enjoyed envisaging what our business may be like in 2020. From that thinking the marketing team created this short film with the help of Khaki, a video production company, that captured the way we are changing as a company and how we are really listening to the people who access our content.
We were inspired by a video created by an Argentinian agency, Savaglio/TBWA entitled Truth:

Quick little video on the Espresso Book Machine which is the only one in the UK. Blackwell bought this machine and my book was first printed on it at the London Book Fair on April 21st 2009!
For more information on the Espresso Book Machine visit this website http://www.ondemandbooks.com or read below.
From their website:
The EBM is a fully integrated patented book making machine which can automatically print, bind and trim on demand at point of sale perfect bound library quality paperback books with 4-color cover indistinguishable from their factory made versions.
The EBM Version 2.0 is modular in 2 parts and the core unit measures approximately 2.7 feet deep, 3.8 feet wide and 4.5 feet high. The EBM 2.0 is available with a high speed (105 page per minute) black and white printer, a high speed color printer or a 35 page per minute printer.
The EBM will print, bind, and trim a 300-page book in less than four minutes with a high speed printer model. Production cost is a penny a page and minimal human intervention is required for operation. The trim size of a book is infinitely variable between 8.5 x 11 and 4.5 x 4.5 and the EBM Version 2.0 can bind up to 830 pages.
Routine intervention is needed for such tasks as refilling paper trays and emptying the trim receptacle tray. Occasionally, a paper jam will occur but the frequency is on par with any high quality laser imaging machine, perhaps once or twice a day under heavy use. Once cleared, books will continue to print from the page where they left off.
Consumables used by the EBM are paper, cover stock, toner, ink, and glue. The EBM is UL listed and well below OSA guidelines. For easy transport it is modular in two parts and can be reassembled at point of use.
EBM 1.5s are located at the University of Alberta Bookstore in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; the Internet Archive Office in San Francisco, California; the Northshire Bookstore in Manchester Center, Vermont; the Bibliotheca Alexandrina at Alexandria, Egypt; the New Orleans Public Library in New Orleans, Louisiana; The University of Michigan Library in Ann Arbor, Michigan; Angus & Robertson Bookstore in Melbourne, Australia; McMaster University Bookstore in Hamilton, ON, Canada, and Newsstand Books in Canterbury, England. While the Version 1.5 was a limited production model, our commercial model, Version 2.0, is available now and locations include: the University of Waterloo Bookstore, Waterloo, Canada; Blackwell Bookstore, London, England; McGill University Library, Montreal, Canada, and more coming soon.
On Demand Books believes that the Espresso Book Machine will be of high value for educational institutions and libraries, public libraries, bookstores, self-publishing, multi-lingual environments and in many other global point of sale or point of need locations.
