Book (production) laid bare

07.07.08

The benefits of the Espresso Book Machine are clear, according to a piece in the Telegraph. But whether or not we are ready to see the process by which books are made laid so bare - a sort of reversal of the demystification that well-intentioned parents visit on their children when they explain exactly where chicken nuggets come from - is another matter.

"We should be perfectly happy to accept that books are just elaborately and prettily presented photocopies - but we object when we feel that they are being sold like so many cans of beans."
