Out Of Print Library:About
From Out Of Print Library
The mission of the Out of Print Library is to provide readers with access to written works that are either out of print or have passed into the Public Domain. There are two purposes for making such works available: (1) to provide readers with access to written works they otherwise may not be able to enjoy and (2) to provide authors with access to diverse audiences that may not be reachable using traditional printed media, possibly due to the prohibitive cost of releasing a printed edition of a work.
