How much does it cost to buy the equipment needed to print and bind these books?

Is there a "package" that someone has put together for someone who wants to buy one of these?

It occurred to me, for instance, that someone could donate this setup to a school district. As the cost of managing libraries increases, it would be cheaper for a school library, when asked for a book in the public domain, to just give the student a copy.

yes! exactly the point, since somewhere it's been discussed that it's cheaper to give books than to lend them, in some cases.

the link above has some of those answers
