Really interesting article about Google getting into book publishing.
http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/09/google-books-publish-on-demand/
"The machine prints the pages, binds them together perfectly, and then cuts the book to size and then dumps a book out, literally hot off the press, with a satisfying clunk. "
I like that "binds them together perfectly". I'm guessing most people will read that as a adjective not noun.
Still, interesting way to get public domain books.

Well, now the linguist in me is interested, because I don't think that bookbinders or printers would say "bind perfectly" to mean "perfect binding." I wonder if someone without a knowledge of bookbinding terminology rewrote the phrase they got from a another source without realizing that the set phrase has a technical meaning.
