classic texts. “[InteLex] Past Masters databases, on the other hand, include the text of highly-respected, complete, scholarly editions and translations, a strong search engine capable of searching across texts, and features such as textual notes and pagination. These factors, along with the reasonable pricing, makes [InteLex] Past Masters titles appealing to a broad user spectrum, from casual readers and undergraduates searching for an online version of a text to scholars performing high-level research.."

Certainly, you have done a consistently better job in this area than anyone else.”
“In the world of scholarly electronic publishing, InteLex continues to get it right, as they have from the beginning: working closely with scholarly editors, selecting high-quality editions to digitize, marking them up carefully and well according to international standards...--all at reasonable prices. I recommend InteLex databases to libraries wholeheartedly, not only because they are superior publications and a good deal, but also because InteLex is the kind of electronic publisher that academic libraries need most in the 21st century."
