Case Study Analysis Xerox’s "Book In Time" is a revolutionary product‚ presenting some new opportunities for the company. It is simply a matter of costs. The Book-in-Time equipment allows for a publishing company to produce a 300-page book for $6.90‚ something which could have been previously reached only for lots larger than 1‚000 copies.

My reading of the book thief My thoughts about the book: Reading the book has been both interesting and exiting‚ especially since I have a special interest in history. Reading about a young girl in Nazi Germany‚ with the narrator being Death‚ really gets to you‚ and drags youn into the book. It is quite long(540 pages)‚ but you shouldn’t let that stop you from reading it. It is worth it! The book is simply magnificent‚ and the author Markus Zusak has done a terrific job writing it.

READING BOOKS IS A GOOD HABIT Books record what wise men have heard‚ seen‚ thought or discovered. The eternal truths are recorded in good books. They instruct us in our youth and comfort us in our old age. Francis Bacon says: "Reading make a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man".

Break-even AnalysisThe break-even point for a Book-In-Time process cannot be measured in terms of time. Assuming the book can be manufactured to make a certain margin‚ there would be no need to sell a certain amount of books. The only cost that you could analyze using break-even would be the cost of the equipment needed to print on demand. Assuming that a book company can sell a typical 300 page paperback book for $25‚ it would take close to one million books to break-even on the cost of all the equipment
