Quote:I worry about the quality of the printed versionLibraries would too. POD uses cut-sheet technology and toner-on-paper; offset litho uses folded and stitched signatures and ink on (and in) paper and it is much easier for a library to rebind an OL book than a POD one (which is basically just a large perfect-bound paperback just waiting to spew its glued pages all over you one day when you open it). For the foreseeable future, the Book As Artefact people will always be best served by offset litho.
