BookFlow — 'Rare books on CD & DVD'
What's this?
"BookFlow.com is an online bookstore selling top-quality digital reproductions of rare books."
Tell us more.
Brothers Matthew and Michael Lawyer in 1995 inherited a large book collection bequeathed by their grandfather, David A. Lawyer, who as a 23-year-old man in 1929 had opened a bookstore in Altadena, a suburb of Los Angeles, starting with the books he inherited from his father, Grover Lawyer, who in 1899 had opened a traditional upscale bookstore in New York.
"In 1997, Matthew and Michael began sharing their book collection with the world, using modern technology to closely replicate the experience of reading the original book. Their proprietary process is slow, tedious, and expensive, but worth it."
Browse their catalogue — but beware, once you start you may find it difficult to stop.
Fair warning.

"Their proprietary process is slow, tedious, and expensive, but worth it...."
Worth it, yes, but I didn't see anything over $14.99. And to read a first edition of Oz for $9.99 and have access to the illustrations????
Worth MUCH more than $9.99.
Great find.
