This page answers some common questions about our reprints program. Please feel free to contact us with any additional questions.

• What is the relationship between you, HebrewBooks.org and Lulu?
• Can you scan a specific sefer and reprint it?
• Do you print copyrighted seforim?
• Why aren't some seforim available, even though I see them at HebrewBooks.org?
• How long does it take to setup a sefer?
• How long does it take for an order to print?
• What is the difference between a small and large hard cover?
• Can I combine several seforim together to save on printing?
• What kind of shipping do you offer?

We are three separate organizations. The Society for Preservation of Hebrew Books which operates the HebrewBooks.org site scans and digitizes old seforim, making them available for free download. PublishYoursefer.com, is responsible for taking scanned seforim and setting them up for printing. Lulu, is one of our print on demand partners which handles orders and printing for reprints.

Assuming there are no copyright issues, you can submit seforim for scanning. Destructive scanning is usually free but will destroy the sefer in the process by cutting the spine. Non-destructive scanning is also available but is usually 15-20 cents per page. Scanning is usually handled by one of our partners.

We generally do not print seforim that are currently in copyright. If you obtain written permission of the author or copyright holder of a specific sefer, we will be happy to print it.

The most common reason why a sefer is not available, is simply because it hasn't been setup for printing yet. Although, we currently only processed about 1% of all available seforim, every unavailable sefer page has a special form allowing you to request that sefer.

About one week.

Soft covers, coil and saddle stitch orders take 3-5 days. Hardcover orders take between 1 to 3 weeks for printing.

A small hardcover is 6"x9" and a large hardcover is 8.25"x10.75". When a sefer is setup one of these sizes is chosen based on the size of the original scan. Prior to setup, both prices are shown.
