[QUOTE="BkerChuck, post: 1219376, member: 29320"] The big problem with these is how they're now printed and bound. I spent almost 30 years working for a book manufacturer. These FSM's are done as a "print on demand" book. What this pretty much means is they're stored in digital format and when you order one they print and bind it on a glorified copying machine. Even the company I used to work for is now using this technology for books where the publisher wants less than a specified number of copies, usually around 250 or so. The actual "printing press" is even made by HP! It utilizes large ink cartridges and is not too far removed from the inkjet printers most of us use at home. Binding is even done within the machine itself using nothing more than adhesive to hold all your pages inside the jacket of the book. [/QUOTE]
