Thanks to some cooperation between Amazon.com and the University of Michigan, books that were once rare and retailed for upwards of $1,000 will be reprinted.
Books such as Nightingale’s “Notes from Nursing: What it is and what it is not” are currently extremely rare, and difficult to get a hold of. “Notes from Nursing” was originally printed in 1860, but now will be readily available.
“The agreement enables us to increase access to public domain books and other publications that have been digitized,” said Paul Courant, the librarian at the University of Michigan.
The books will cost anywhere from $10 to $45, and will be available on demand.
