Scroll down to Product Details for more information.
The Espresso Book Machine® (the "EBM"), which Time Magazine named an "Invention of the Year," provides a revolutionary direct-to-consumer distribution model for books.
Put simply, the EBM is an automated book-making machine. The operator selects a title to print, and within a few minutes a book emerges, with a full-color cover, trimmed to an exact size, and indistinguishable from the publisher's version. As we say, "Hot off the press!"
- All EBM books are perfect bound with paperback covers.
- A typical book can be produced in three to four minutes.
- The trim size variable for Outskirts Press books is between 5" x 8" to 8.25" x 10.5"
Currently, Espresso Book Machines have been set-up in select universities and libraries including:
- New York Public Library
- University of Michigan Library
- World Bank InfoShop, Washington
- New Orleans Public Library
- San Francisco Internet Archive
- University of Michigan Library
- Manchester Center Northshire Bookstore
- University of Alberta
- McMaster University Bookstore
- London Newsstand UK
- Library of Alexandria,Egypt
- Melbourne, Australia Angus & Robertson Bookstore
- ... and more, with new venues and locations being consistently added...
By adding this option to your title, your book will be available to be ordered, printed, and sold at every current and future Espresso Book Machine location. This is a one-time set-up fee that is good for the duration of your active publication agreement with Outskirts Press. As more Espresso Book Machines are added, your book instantly and automatically becomes available via each of them.
Watch the EBM in action:
The Espresso Book Machine signifies an impending change to the publishing industry... imagine a future when every Starbucks has a machine and customers order a book at the same time they order a double latte..... will your book be ready?

"I am beginning to see results immediately. What is even better is that I have no additional marketing expenses as the machines market my book for me 24/7. In addition, my book will be available in these machines not only where they are currently located, but in every machine that is installed from this point forward. It only takes a short time to recoup your investment in this option and the benefits continue indefinitely."See what Outskirts Press authors are saying about their self-publishing experience
My representative Jamie was always extremely professional and helpful during the entire process of my book publication. She always responded very quickly to requests and was always helpful throughout the entire process. She is a great role model and a great asset to the Outskirts Press family. I will highly recommend Outskirts Press to my friends and associates and also look forward to doing more business in the future. I am extremely pleased with my book publication and consider this a major milestone in my life . Thank you all very much...

From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

Bridget, as well as the entire Outskirts Press team working with me, are exceptional. They held my hand through the entire process in addition to providing me with welcomed support and encouragement. I am looking forward to our next project together. I have recommended Outskirts Press to several freelance authors in my area. Thank you for making a potentially hectic journey so enjoyable and so satisfying.

The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.

Outskirts Press has perfected the art of self-publishing. Their process is simple and seamless with everything happening in a timely manner, giving authors complete control over how their book will appear inside and out. And the people there are fantastic. They’re friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, patient and quick to reply to emails. What more can an author ask?
Needless to say, I’ve found a home here at Outskirts Press.
