The publisher also offers printing of out-of-print books available through the Bibliothèque nationale de France's digital library, Gallica.
The publishing house presents itself as distinct from a vanity press, in which authors pay to have their books published. However, it does require authors to pay for several aspects of publication, if they so desire: proofreading, personalized covers, etc. It does not guarantee the promotion of its published works in bookstores, only that they will be available on its digital platform. Critics including Victor de Sepausy have petitioned in protest of the company, accusing it of being a vanity press in disguise.
