Alan mentions companies doing print-to-order of old books, <br>
and there certainly are a great many such companies out <br>
there. But has anyone any experience with any that are any <br>
good? A while ago I ordered L'Estrange's Norfolk from one <br>
of these companies. I was careful to make sure I was <br>
ordered a photographic reproduction, rather than one with <br>
OCR text re-typeset, and the content itself is fine. But <br>
the front cover is hideously garish and contains the <br>
misspelling 'Notfolk', which has rather put me off them. <br>
But equally, my budget doesn't extent to first editions and <br>
many of the county histories have never been reprinted.<br>
