UT Austin’s in-house press, known as Forty Acres Press, has the ideal resource for your small, self-publishing needs. It’s called the Burnt Orange Book Machine (BOB). BOB makes paperback books from PDF files. You can even make a pretty, four color cover. But the pages can only be in black and white; so all you picture book authors and illustrators won’t find BOB very useful. Also, if you’re thinking of a printing a large run, then this isn’t the machine for you. But, according to the very helpful Forty Acres staffer I met with, it’s perfect for smaller jobs of up to a hundred or so copies. So, if you’re looking to generate some ARCs, or just want to do a ‘vanity’ printing of your latest work, it might be worth your time to look into using BOB. The website has an easy to understand introduction to how the machine works along with pricing schedules. And, like I said, the staff is friendly and helpful. They even gave this Yellow Bird member a BOB manual for free.
