with books, but now it includes sporting goods and power tools.

Old and out-of-print books can be accessed via the web.

There are many 'self Publishing' books, here's one of them.

With so many PC's, scanners, bubble & laser printers and a
good range of binding options, printing say 10 books for your
own use is now such a simple exercise. Many continue on and make a website with the same information, using service providers like Smartyhost. You can send a copy of your book
to the national and your state libraries for storage as part of the
national heritage. National Library of Australia

Why self publish?
