I want to emphasize and/or clarify a statement that I made a few posts ago about future libraries being centers with internet access and the finest printers available.
Xerox now makes printers that can produce ONE HARDBOUND BOOK - or twenty, or two hundred. These printers are still expensive, but as competition enters the marketplace, prices will fall. Within a few years, I'll bet several listmembers will have such a printer at home - a real find for budding authors. You'll be able to publish your own books. Almost all typesetting is now done on computers in digital format - easily sent to libraries for distribution - via hard copy or otherwise. Vicky Heller North Oaks REMINDERS: 1.
