I ordered a book by a local author last weekend -- it's not brand new, it was published in 2017 -- but when my copy showed up today it shows a printing of "19 November 2018."

Today is the 21st.

Wow.  Must be one of those print-on-demand things, and it must've shipped the same day it printed.  Impressive.

Maybe it's one of those self-published books and he just runs one off when he gets an order.

Publisher is in Middletown DE.

But yes, the book is obscure enough to be a vanity press. They're obviously printed-on-demand. I was just surprised at how quick it went from the printing press to my hands, with the whole USA in between. The author lives probably within 10 miles of me.
