Read the paperback, very impressed! Gave away as gift for sad ex-copier professional, now I can have a digital version as a replacement! As a Copier Industrialist, this is a great, insightful primer into copier design, which I hope to someday employ in my dream of designing a self-guided photocopier without today's corporate sponsorship, using recycled scrap, and discarded equipment, still working, but of no commercial value, creating jobs for around 1,000,000 unemployed, talented, preferably with Asperger's Syndrome, and a *mandatory* devotion to superior copier design, not seen in any of today's product.
