The electronic file is held on the printing companies server and the book is available to order from Amazon and any good book shop. When you order it, the printer presses a button (so to speak) and the hard copy book is printed and shipped to you/ the bookstore where you ordered it. It saves the publisher the cost of stocking a warehouse full of the title and thus means that the non-blockbuster books can still be available for the readers.<BR/><BR/>Yang-May Ooi<BR/>www.fusionview.co.ukAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15603901.post-1159283801313144262006-09-26T23:16:00.000+08:002006-09-26T23:16:00.000+08:00Anon, yes you're right.
