Revival of Out-of Print Books

This is some cool news from The Chronicle.com Oct. 29th 2007

Can Open Access Revive Out-of-Print Books?

"Like most institutional imprints, the Universite Libre de Bruxelles has published plenty of books that have long since gone out of print, left to languish in campus libraries and professors' private collections. Until now, that is: The university is giving those texts second lives by recasting them as open-access e-books.
About 20 books are already available on the press's Web site, and more are forthcoming."
