Espresso Machines (EBM) is a machine that does your book just like print-on-demand, in stores. You choose your options (paper size, color interior, etc.) and then upload your book, which is usually already formatted. Some places may charge to format for you. Once everything is set, the book begins printing, and you soon will have your books. Printing time depends on size of book and is usually done within an hour, depending on how many books you print. Remember that you will most likely be providing your own ISBN. If you do, you are responsible by law to provide Library and Archives Canada, a copy.

Make a note that there are some revision costs for some of their packages, if not most. To order books, you would pay $7 + $0.03 each. They provide you with an example on their website. If you have a 100-page book, you would pay $10 per book ($7 + $3 {0.03 x 100}).
