The idea that I had was strictly to print on-demand.  That is, we print
a manual as and when requested, rather than printing a bunch of stuff
whcih potentially never gets used.  So we would have a catalog of
available titles that we advertise as being available on request; when
Person X wants to get a copy of Book Y, s/he pays a small fee [to cover
costs - say $5?] and we then print and bind the book concerned.  With a
laser printer and a proper binding tool it should only take a few
minutes [excluding potentially longish waits for the actual print job to
finish].

Anyway, just clarrifying what I had in mind.

David.
