Independently owned Flintridge Bookstore and Coffeehouse is one of only 28 places in the United States with an Espresso Book Machine (EBM), a Time magazine "invention of the year," and the only location in southern California. The stores helps readers connect with the books they want, and now, with the EBM, the staff can also assist authors connect their work with others. Novels, poetry collections, journals, family histories, or even family recipes, can be turned into bound, beautiful volumes. The EBM transforms digital files into a paperback book complete with a full color cover and a black and white interior, indistinguishable from books produced by traditional publishers. One can print as many or as few copies as desired, and revised files can be uploaded at any time. Books can be for sale or kept private (printable only by the author). If a book is for sale, the author retains all rights to the work. The bookstore offers personal assistance and can walk authors through the entire process . The turn around time for printing is faster than for most websites. And, once authors have paid the initial set up fee, their book is available any time in the future for just the cost per copy. The EBM also prints On Demand Books, offering over three million public domain titles, as well as a growing selection of current releases. ODB books can be printed in as little as ten minutes. And, they can be ordered on-line and either picked up at the store or shipped.
