I've registered for this service and am downloading a thesis:
Queen Victoria : the monarch and the media 1837-1867
I have agreed to terms and conditions which provide that my copy is only for personal or educational use. The PDF download, 50megs, is free, but I could have had a hardbound copy for 30 pounds.
Is that print-on-demand?
Talking of Queen Victoria, I've just finished reading:
Darby, Elizabeth; Smith, Nicola (1983). The Cult of the Prince Consort. New Haven and London: Yale University Press. ISBN 0-300-03015-0
A nice book, replete with footnotes detailing the sources used. Despite the Yale University Press imprint, it is not really academic. More a survey of the various memorial schemes and so on. I picked it up for less than £1 at a second-hand book stall.
