Over at The Book Standard, writer Adam Langer tours the Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania plant where his novel is being printed:

There are machines with gigantic robotic arms, huge vats, or “totes,” of ink and glue, the latter of which comes in little yellow pearls called “hot melt adhesive.” Fifty-foot-high rolls of paper are stacked to the ceiling of the factory’s paper warehouse, which, on the day that I visit, contains 14,211 rolls of paper; they weigh in at approximately 12,228,270 pounds.
