"IT'S A BOOK"

  A January 8th article on Wired News detailed Apple
  Computer's launch of its new iPhoto software.   One feature
  not highlighted by most media outlets is likely to be welcomed
  by bibliophiles (and is closely related to the print-on-demand
  technology discussed in recent E-Sylum issues):

  "... perhaps most importantly, iPhoto can be used to create,
  for the first time, a linen-covered, hard-bound book of
  photographs. The software contains a page-layout feature that
  makes it very easy to create 10- to 50-page photo albums of
  pictures.

  Users simply choose the layout style (photo album, portfolio,
  etc.) and the number of pictures on each page. The software
  then converts the book into a PDF file and dispatches it to a
  printer where it is printed and bound into a hardcover book.
  The service costs $30 for the first 10 pages and then $3 per
  page thereafter.  "It's killer," Jobs said. The one-click ordering
  process also includes a mandatory shipping charge.

  "The nice thing about iPhoto is it turns ordinary guys into book
  publishers," said John Santoro, Apple's product manager for
  iPhoto. "You can tell a story with a book. It's permanent.
  It's a book."
