NYU Bookstore Presents the Espresso Book Machine


The NYU Bookstore is proud to present our newly acquired Espresso Book Machine, a patented high-speed automatic book making machine.

The Espresso Book Machine can print, bind and trim a library quality paperback book on demand in minutes, one copy at a time. Search the millions of titles available to print, or publish your own. With the Espresso Book Machine, we are able to print books from a growing catalog of 3.8 million books, including in-copyright, public domain and out-of-print titles. Two million of these titles are public domain Google Books. Thanks to the Espresso Book Machine, books long out-of-print are once again available.

EBM can print books from numerous sources -

  • Public Domain Books
  • Google Books
  • Permissioned in copyright titles from
    Ingram Lighting Source - Random House, Hachette, McGraw-Hill, Simon & Schuster, WW Norton, Macmillan, HarperCollins, O’Reilly Media, Baker Publishing Group, The Perseus Book Group, and others.
  • Major publishers, content aggregators, and foreign-language content, representing additional titles, journals, and other material.

Self Publishing Services


The Espresso Book Machine provides authors with an easy way to get published. Whether you have written a novel, collection of poems, family history, cookbook, memoir or dissertation, you will be able to get printed copies of your book thanks to the flexible and affordable self-publishing services we are now offering. There are no minimum print runs, so you can print as many or as few copies of your book as you want, when you want. You can offer your book for sale or keep it private (printable only by you) - whichever best suits your project. If you do choose to make your book available for sale, you retain all rights to your work and are responsible for setting your own retail price.
