Kessinger is good quality, and we do order those frequently. Nabu, General Books LLC, and most of the others are awful. They are low quality prints of public domain books, better used as linked e-books through Google, HathiTrust, etc.

Subject: [ACQNET-L] print-on-demand companies
Has anyone had any experience ordering out-of-print or hard-to-find books from Nabu Press, Kessinger, or some other print-on-demand service? I see them listed on Alibris and Ingram but I have some doubts about the quality of the reprint.
