I have become steadily more impressed with the facsimiles produced by Gyan Press in India, and have now purchased several works from them. They have an enormous catalogue of books available to produce in facsimile and undertake the work promptly. The result is amazing for the price. Well worthwhile considering for hard to find books. Not fine press, but pretty fine facsimile.
ABE books invoice included to confirm the price.

Forgive the ignorance, but isn’t Gyan Books one of those print-on-demand outfits that prints from digital files pulled from the internet and then binds the books per customer specs?
