Print-on-demand and electronic products
Book Publishers LLC publishes print-on-demand paperback and downloadable compilations of English texts and documents from open knowledge sources such as Wikipedia.[2][3][4][5] Book Publishers LLC's copies of the English Wikipedia are republished by Google Books. Titles are also published in French and German respectively under the names "Livres Groupe" and "Bücher Gruppe".[6][7][8] Books' publications do not include the images from the original Web documents but, in their place, URLs pointing to the Web images. According to the FAQ page: “We understand how annoying that can be for the reader. But our first priority has to be respecting copyright laws. In addition, the resolution of the online photos are not high enough to print in a book.”[9]
In 2009, Book Publishers LLC and its sister imprint General Book Publishers LLC produced 224,460 and 11,887 titles respectively.[10][11]
