>Recently I read a book (I have already forgotten the name and author), where they mentioned a process where instead of large book stores, these same stores print the book on demand. They had computer archive of every book and the customer comes in, sit at a computer, selects the book, and then goes to a counter to picks up the hard copy. Also, there were coffee stand as there are now.

I'm pretty sure Whil's using printing on demand now for some of the older HWP books.
