Agreement with Amazon will make U-M Digital Books widely available

"The University of Michigan will make thousands of books that are no longer in copyright - including rare and one-of-a-kind titles - available as reprints on demand under a new agreement with BookSurge, part of the Amazon.com group of companies. The agreement gives the public a unique opportunity to buy reprints of a wide range of titles in the U-M Library for as little as a few dollars. As individual copies are sold on Amazon.com, BookSurge will print and bind the books in soft-cover form"
