Welcome to Marbitz Media!
The world of English-language Orthodox publishing is, boruch HaShem, alive and very healthy. Hundreds of new titles are appearing each year including many that are truly creative and inspiring.
It's natural, though, that some books published in decades past, long ago sold out their editions and disappeared from bookstores. There might not be thousands of readers searching for these old volumes, but there will doubtless be some who missed out the first time (or who wish to replace their own worn-out copies). Until now, the economics of book publishing, which dictate that print runs lower than at least a thousand are not financially viable, meant that these customers could not be served.
But things have changed. Technical developments have led to the "Print-on-Demand" (POD) process of printing and binding. No longer does a publisher need to print, transport and store thousands of copies of a single title before he can sell even one. Now, the digital files that will become the book are stored on a computer server anywhere in the world and, only once you make an order, will the POD printer actually manufacture your book - even if you only want one copy.
And it won't necessarily cost you any more than you'd pay for a traditionally-printed book! Marbitz Media has gathered some of the finest out-of-print titles in American publishing to make them available to you - through our POD partner, Lulu. Please feel free to click the links above to browse our catalogue. Get ready for a rich experience.
Once you select a title, you will be taken to the Marbitz pages within Lulu's web site. All secure credit card processing and shipping arrangements will be handled by Lulu.
Accidents happen (and, very occasionally, the wrong book is shipped to a customer). If there should be any problems with your order, contact the good folk at Lulu who are eager to correct any errors. If that doesn't work, please send us an email and we'll see what we can do.
One more thing: if you own the rights to any out-of-print Torah works and would like to see them distributed through Marbitz Media, please drop us a line and we'll see if it's a match with our business.
