1. More about our project
As you may have noticed our web-site has been refreshed. This is in preparation for our entire collection of books being made available on-line as a "digital library". We hope that this will be of value to those of you who only want to look at a few pages from several different books - and this will obviously be quicker once the digital library is available. However, if you want to browse a book, it will still be better for you to obtain the facsimile on CD to read on your own computer - and we will continue to offer this option.
However, we will have to make a charge for viewing on-line to cover our costs. We have not yet decided on prices, but plan to offer both pay-per-view and library subscription. In both cases, we will endeavour to keep prices as low as possible.
