Hab ich gerade bei SJGames gefunden. Keine Ahnung, ob das schon älter ist. Jedenfalls ist es für Vergriffenes sehr interessant.
GURPS and Print On Demand
We've been watching Print On Demand (POD) technology mature for a number of years. Being able to shrink print runs down to a few hundred (or even just one!), while keeping the product affordable and up to our standards of physical quality, has obvious advantages. While the prices are still quite high compared to a traditional print run in our normal quantities, the quality is good enough for a "live fire" test.
At GenCon Indy, we had a limited number of a special edition of GURPS Bio-Tech. This limited edition is easily differentiated from the main print run (scheduled for release in October) -- the POD version has a softcover, as well as black and white interiors; the main print run is hardcover and full-color.
And since we were testing the POD technology, we decided to try another project as well: GURPS Mysteries, in print. The best-selling e23 product became available at GenCon, as a black and white softcover. Warehouse 23 will also carry printed copies, beginning this fall.
We will definitely be doing more POD products in the near future. Watch the news pages of Warehouse 23 and e23, as well as the Daily Illuminator, for upcoming announcements!
