Re: OSU Press Open Access Initiative

Bernie Sloan has pointed out an interesting new model. I have on about ten of these books and have found those clicked on to be books of some age (oldest 1963 and newest 1998) which I assume no longer have any serious sale in print. Other publishers have tended to offer such books using print on demand so that they remain available in print at a price but Ohio has made them free without a print option. As they are free there is no chance of a print option. As far as I know most publishers who offer free versions online have done so in part at least to market their print editions. Unfortunately the Press does not really explain how this offer relates to its ongoing program although the preliminary blurb suggests that some of the books are new.
