Posted in books, the 18th century in the news by Editor on July 24, 2009

An agreement announced earlier this week between Amazon.com and the University of Michigan will make over 400,000 rare books available through softcover reprints, ranging in price from $10-45. No word yet on what eighteenth-century works are included, but might there be possibilities for teaching texts? Should we be thrilled or wary? For details, see this article at the University of Michigan’s ‘New Service’.
