With all the continued talk about e-books replacing hard copy books (see "Schools Dump Textbooks for iPODs and Laptops") - here is an instance of the reverse happening!
Google Book Search, in cooperation with On Demand Books, is now offering the ability to custom print over 2 million out of print public domain books.
Google spent the last 7 years scanning all these old books into electronic documents. Now for the price of around $8 per book, you can have your own hard copy edition of one of these books.
I know there are some readers out there like me who still like to read from the paper and not the computer screen!
