Check out the video below explaining what they do.

I ordered 4 books from them recently and I am simply astounded at the quality of the product I received for the money. Two of the books I ordered they already had digitized, the other to were digitized for me. Somebody at the New York library pulled the books, scanned them and then sent them to Kirtasbooks.com. They, in turn, had them printed and hard bound for my order. 3 Weeks later I had my own beautify hard bound copies of books I could have affordability owned no other way. I had to pinch myself to make sure it was real. The books cost me $20 each when I ordered them. They have since raised the price to $28 each.
