Hi,
I asked my Proquest rep and she told me that Proquest
is no longer selling books on demand.

Anyone know what happened to ProQuest's Books-on-Demand? When I asked
our ProQuest rep last month, he promised to find out, but then never
responded. And another person at my institution just queried ProQuest
Customer Service and got this mysterious response:
> > Thank you for your message.

I did not use this service often, but when I did, it was because the
title I wanted was NOWHERE ELSE! It probably did not make much money
for them, and I suppose it always comes down to profit and loss, but I
wonder if they simply deleted all that content. Any real information is
certainly welcome.
