Politics &
Prose has acquired one of the newest innovations in the publishing world, a
print-on-demand machine. With the push
of a button, the machine prints, binds, and trims a quality paperback book, in
any language, with a full-color cover, in minutes. The machine, nicknamed
"Opus," makes several million out-of-print or hard to find titles
available to anyone; Politics & Prose is also pleased to offer self-publishing
services to would-be writers working on anything from a dissertation to a novel
to a family history.
Please join us
at a free event, open to the public, at
7 p.m. on Wednesday, November 9 to watch a test printing, meet one of the machine's
creators, and to talk with store owners and staff about Opus's capabilities. Learn how you can
access 7 million titles not on store shelves, including rare and out-of-print
books, or how to use Opus to create your own self-published manuscript. Watch a
book printing demonstration and talk with one of the machine’s creators as well
as the store staff about this exciting new addition to the bookstore.
All our in-store events are free and open to the public. All event titles are 20% off for members during the month in which the author appears at the store. Click here for directions. There is ample parking available in the lot behind the store and in the surrounding neighborhood.
If you can't come to an event and still want an autographed copy of the book, you may purchase titles in advance either in the store, over the phone (202.364.1919 or 1.800.722.0790), or through our website.
When buying online, simply use the checkout comments field to indicate that you would like us to request the author's signature at our event before shipping it to you. Event recordings on MP3 are also available online.
