Most people have never heard of BiblioBazaar. Yet it’s a company that has quietly been building a book catalog of hundreds of thousands of books — with 272,930 new titles last year. It coverts public domain titles into ebook and POD (print on demand) formats. BiblioBazaar’s strategy is to seel just a few of each title, but to have hundreds of thousands of titles available for purchase.

The concept of a catalog of several hundred thousand titles and selling only a few of each title is interesting and may prove a model for the future of the publishing industry. Amazon.com is already doing this with many of its titles and one has to wonder if big publishers may follow this model with their out-of-print titles in the future.
