Today we went to Den Haag to visit the espresso book machine. It is quite interesting to see how the machine is integrated with the original bookstore. The bookshop claimed that this is the second espresso book machine in Europe. And one of their motivation to import this machine is to keep the bookstore running.
I also found this video on their official site which clearly states each stages inside the machine, like colourful cover printing, black & white content printing, gluing, and cropping. The owner also talked to print a book around 200 pages is around 12 Euro, but for each book you need a kind of one time handling fee (something like 10 Euro) for checking the file and upload to the machine.
