You can already order one-off books online.

I ordered _A Road of Stars_ by Ardath Mayhar from there after hearing
her read a passage from it at a con. I liked it. If anyone is
interested in that book, go to
http://www2.xlibris.com/bookstore/bookdisplay.asp?bookid=277 to read
about it. It's offered in paperback and hardcover. When I asked her to
sign it at this past AggieCon, she told me it was the first paperback
copy of it she'd seen, and she was pleased with how it looked.
