From Michigan Live:
Reprints of hundreds of thousands of out-of-copyright books from the University of Michigan libraries will be available for purchase by the general public through Amazon.com, under an agreement announced Tuesday.
Reprints of 400,000 rare academic books contained in the U-M libraries will be available for purchase for $10 to $45 from the online retailer’s print-on-demand division.
Some of the books are one-of-a-kind, meaning they had been available only on the shelves of academic libraries like U-M’s.
