Possible machines, depending on what you mean by “create copies of books quickly”:

- Printing press (offset or digital printing press) — used for mass-producing books quickly and cheaply once a print run is set up. Offset is economical for large runs; digital presses are better for short runs and print-on-demand.
- Photocopier (xerographic copier) — fast for making single- or small-number copies of pages from an existing book.
- Book scanner + laser/inkjet production printer — scan pages digitally and print copies; useful for on-demand or small-batch reproduction.
- Risograph or mimeograph/duplicator — low-cost high-speed duplication for simple black-and-white content (used for flyers, booklets, zines).
- On-demand book printer/bindery system — integrated machines that print, trim and bind individual books quickly (used by POD services).

Note: reproducing copyrighted books without permission may be illegal. If you tell me whether you mean mass publishing, one-off reproductions, or on-demand bound books, I can recommend the best option.
