HP Makes Rare and Hard-to-find Books Available Through Collaboration with University of Michigan
HP BookPrep delivers access to nearly 500,000 out-of-print library books

HP BookPrep – a cloud computing service that enables on-demand printing of books – brings new life to the traditional publishing model, making it possible to bring any book ever published back into print through an economical and sustainable service model.

As part of a growing movement to preserve and digitize historic content, major libraries are partnering with technology leaders to scan previously hard-to-find works using high-resolution photography. HP’s process transforms these scans prior to printing by cleaning up some of the wear and tear that often is present in the originals.

People can now purchase high-quality print versions of public-domain, out-of-print books from the University of Michigan Library through HP BookPrep channels, including traditional and online retailers such as Amazon.com.

Yup, I've being using Behr's site for years. Excellent resource.

not sure about book prep. The best words to search for old magical texts, tends to be conjurer, or conjuring. Neither word is on their search engine.

Behr is a wonder. I find I'm fine in remembering moves, concepts, &c, but hopeless at keeping track of where I learnt things from, so if I ever need to go back and check or reference something I'm lost. Behr to the rescue. It's also good for when you buy something only to have the method refer to some evidently popular move that you, nevertheless, haven't come across before.
