  • I ran across this publisher on Amazon.  They have many older Catholic books available for reprint-purchase.  There is no information on their website as to who they are or where they are located.  Does anyone know anything about them?  Reputable?  Trustworthy for purchases?  Thanks.

  • Apparently they don't proofread their website. I wouldn't buy anything from them.

  • This group, whoever they are, is providing hard-copy books that are otherwise unavailable.  They are not, apparently, making editorial changes in the books but are simply providing exact copies of old, out-of-print, books that they have obtained.  They use amazon.com as their store-front.

    If you are searching for an old out-of-print book and find it available on amazon.com from this publisher, I would not hesitate to purchase it through this source.  Furthermore, if anyone has purchased anything from this publisher, it would be good to see a review on the quality of the book binding.  It appears that the books are published on demand in a paperback format.  These are sometimes good quality and sometime poor.

    I wouldn't necessarily browse their catalogue, but if one were looking for an old book and found it here, I'm not sure why one would not purchase it.

    Sound advice. Thank you.

    Quote from: Lepanto Again
    We have one book from them. It comes in hardback, good quality. However, the print is an exact reprint of whatever original copy they had. This makes it readable but sometimes not 100%.


    Helpful feedback. Thank you.

  • Thank you for the input.  If I can buy the books elsewhere, preferably originals, than I will do that.
