Supply Without the Demand


Print-on-demand is new system that lets bookstores print out a book whenever a customer asks for one. It's really slick. Recently, I was in a store called The Book "Seller" and it had a service called Print- On-Non-Demand® featuring books that very few people would ever order, much less print out. The titles included the following

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Village Idiocy
The 10-Minute Guide to Butt-Scanning
Baby's First Book of Java
Leashes Unleashed
Programmer's Guide to Basic Hygiene
Teach Yourself the Presidency in 4 Years
