An On-demand Book Boom?

Apparently, demand for printed-while-you-wait books is on the rise, and on-demand book publishers are beefing up their digital printing capabilities accordingly. One has even created a new in-plant. I met its manager not long ago when we both attended the xpedx-sponsored “MBA of In-plant Finance” workshop. His company, Xlibris Corp., is an “on-demand publishing services provider” created nearly 10 years ago to help authors publish their own books.
