Well, I ordered a few of their books a couple of years ago. They are definitely paperback books---in fact, they are Xerox pages that are stapled together. They have a paper cover---not very substantial in my opinion. But the information is all there---at least I sure hope it was!! I was satisfied---I would not recommend these books for any library, unless they were three- hold punched and put into a notebook. They aren't that stiff that they could stand up on a shelf. If it is just for yourself, go for it!!!
