Rick forwards a great article from the Boston Globe about a bookstore in Manchester Center, Vermont that has taken delivery of the country&#8217;s first &#8220;Espresso&#8221;, an on-demand &#8220;Book Machine&#8221; that prints books &#8211; covers and all [&#8230;]]]></description>

Zach Steele was interviewed by phone. Over on the store&#8217;s blog, Zach says they&#8217;re closing in on the halfway mark in terms of donations&#8230;.]]></description>
