Bridgeross Books on McMaster Espresso Machine

Bridgeross Communications, a specialty publisher located in Dundas, Ontario, is pleased to have the opportunity to make its titles available to customers within minutes on the McMaster Bookstore Espresso Machine.

Described as an ATM for books and named "invention of the year" in 2007 by Time Magazine, the EBM was developed by On Demand Books. It provides book lovers with instantly printed books in a matter of minutes. And, the technology helps save massive amounts of CO2 emissions, eliminates returns and the destruction of unsold books. Books can be printed when required at locations where requested without the need to transport long distances.

According to a 2007 study, the book sector generates an average of 8.8 pounds of carbon per book produced. Being able to help the environment is another enormous benefit of this technology according to Bridgeross president, Marvin Ross.

Bridgeross titles include: "Schizophrenia: Medicine's Mystery - Society's Shame described as “a powerful resource for anyone looking for answers and insight into the world of mental illness." in SZ Digest

The Dysfunctional Father's Guide to Pregnancy, Birth and Babies - "One of the funniest reads I've had in a while" from A Busy Mommy Blog and "I laughed my way all the way through this book, and think that it is one of the funniest books that I have seen in a long time" from an Amazon review. The Dysfunctional Father's Guide has just been recommended by The Examiner - a US national on-line newspaper at http://tinyurl.com/nssjbf

Slide in All Direction and two other mysteries/novels from the pen of Hamilton psychiatrist, David Laing Dawson. Slide has been described as a cross between Elmore Leonard and a Seinfeld episode while the Hamilton Spectator described it as “a work of fiction that's as close to reality as it gets."

Dawson's works have been highly rated by Publisher's Weekly and Quill and Quire. Dr. Dawson is a former professor of psychiatry at McMaster and was psychiatrist in chief at the former Hamilton Psychiatric Hospital now part of St. Joseph's. His other books published by Bridgeross are The Intern and Essondale.
