On demand in demand
As a possible sign of things to come, Europe’s first print on demand-only bookshop has opened in Paris. The shop belongs to famous publishing house Les Presses Universitaires de France (PUF), which had a historic bookshop in Paris until 1999. The new store is close to the old location in the Quartier Latin, but is much smaller, consisting of a few bookshelves, a sales counter, an Espresso Book Machine, and a cafe where customers can wait the few minutes it takes their book to be manufactured.
