Obama / Publishing

There's a new book coming out soon by Robert Kuttner called Obama’s Challenge: America’s Economic Crisis and the Power of a Transformative Presidency. Read Hertzberg's full blog post here, but I found this ad-on at the end interesting:

Kuttner’s book, by the way, is a pioneering exercise in cutting-edge publishing. The publisher, Chelsea Green, plans to have two thousand copies ready for distribution at the Democratic National Convention. That will mean a lapsed time of about one week between final edit and finished book. (I’ve written blog posts that took longer to make their way online.) The book won’t be in the stores till September 15, but you can get it sooner, thanks to a deal Chelsea Green has made a with BookSurge, Amazon's new print-on-demand subsidiary. You order it, they print it and bind it, and it’s in your hands forty-eight hours later.
Sweet.
