Interesting way to build a library – they can customize the set of books you get based on topic and aesthetics (all old leather, all hardback, etc).

Seems to be pretty cheap as well, depending on how widely you read!

Steven Speilberg used this service to furnish Indian Jone’s library, in the new Indy movie, as well as his own home.
