Espresso Books on Demand
From last couple of years Espresso Book sales are catching up. Espresso Books involves printing books on demand through Espresso Book machines and they work very much like ATMs.
I understand that there are over 8 million titles available on such machines.
I would like to know whether all the 700 Enid Blyton titles are available on such machines. Does anybody here have an idea?

30 seconds spent googling their website and then searching it for Blyton would tell you that no, they're not.
"It's the ash! It's falling!" yelled Julian, almost startling Dick out of his wits...
"Listen to its terrible groans and creaks!" yelled Julian, almost beside himself with impatience.

Maybe our friend is just trying to promote the Espresso brand, Fiona. Fancy a coffee?

Re: Espresso Books on Demand
I have no Espresso Books machine to promote.
I think it will be great idea to make Enid Blyton books available through such machines. These machines are spreading everywhere.
I did google on it and I found that some titles are available on these machines. I was wondering if anybody had a real time experience with these machines and if they have checked whether Blyton is available on them.

Apparently, three cups of coffee a day will stave of Alzheimer's. Maybe you should start?!

Re: Espresso Books on Demand
In case of Enid Blyton books, de-cafe, I would take it to mean all the latest versions of Enid Blyton with characters, words and sentences changed to suit the sick current day society.
They no longer see things straight and call spade a spade.
With Espresso Books, I guess we have to be satisfied with the de-cafe versions of Enid Blyton, as provided by the current publishers.
But do we at-least have that?

Re: Espresso Books on Demand
I like the idea that Enid Blyton's books have now become 'decaffinated'. Although personally if I had to compare her books with a beverage I'd say they were more like a warm cup of milky cocoa - the perfect way to end a day snuggled up in bed.

Re: Espresso Books on Demand
It sounds like a great invention; these machines can print a book on demand. In this world of e-everything it’s quite surprising to come across something modern that produces paper. So if the kindle is not your cup of tea, the espresso is the answer.

What's wrong with that? It beats calling it a sturdy tool having a thick handle and a heavy, flat blade that can be pressed into the ground with the foot to break up, turn over, or remove earth or sand (for example)hsmanjunath wrote: call spade a spade.
