About Us

Our Story

In 2008, Mark Honig, an avid book collector, philologist and historian, began experiencing the transitional world of digitization and its profound benefits. He decided to invest in a non-destructive book scanner for personal use, thereby greatly aiding his research by aiding accessibility and searchability. His goal was to digitize his entire large, unique collection of books and archival material, and still preserve the valuable original copies.

After two years of  many hours of hard work and trial-and-error to perfect and streamline the digitization process,  and satisfactorily transferring his collection, Mark’s academic colleagues began requesting that he expand the service to digitize their collections as well. Hence, BBS was born, and quickly grew beyond its initial modest expectations.

We scan all kinds of books including:

Innovation

As orders began pouring in accompanied by requests for additional services, BBS expanded to add the cheaper destructive scanning services, professional eBook formatting, scanning for Print-on-Demand (POD), and a special “yearbook scanning” track for schools digitizing their old yearbook collections.

Our original, tedious manual scanner was replaced by a high-tech robotic non-destructive machines which greatly aids our ability to digitize books efficiently and affordably. Later on we also added a large-format scanner and blueprint-size scanner, to service the full array of digitization needs.

With our established team’s combined experience and expertise, we researched, acquired, and customized a combination of software processes to yield ultimate capture quality and maximum productivity.

Company Mission

BBS is proud to have partnered with prestigious companies, government agencies, universities, libraries, prominent researchers and famous authors, in pursuit of their book scanning needs.  Although we have completed many large projects, we nevertheless work with many smaller customers, such as students, researchers, learning-disabled, visually impaired, and family historians, to digitize smaller projects quickly and affordably. Our customers appreciate our responsive and personalized customer service and have grown to trust us with their precious projects.
