Amazon.com announced Monday it has acquired BookSurge, an on-demand book printer that specializes in out-of-print and foreign language titles. BookSurge boasts a library with thousands of books that are printed to order and already available for sale from Amazon. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"BookSurge makes it possible to print books that appeal to targeted audiences, whether it's one copy or one thousand," said Greg Greeley, Amazon's vice president of media products. "Our new relationship with BookSurge will provide Amazon customers an ever-expanding selection of titles that are not available through other channels."
