Vermont Indie Bookseller Is Print-On-Demand Guinea Pig
"The Northshire Bookstore, in quaint Manchester Center, Vt., has all the classic trappings: exposed beams, wood tables stacked with hardcover bestsellers, comfortable leather chairs nestled into alcoves." It also has a print-on-demand Espresso Book Machine, a first for an independent bookstore in the U.S. If its experiment is successful, "it will show how small brick-and-mortar bookshops might be able to match the overwhelming variety of products offered by a giant online retailer like Amazon.com."
