I just had my dissertation scanned and stored in a PDF file because I had only one copy left. I went to a FedEx office, handed it over and told them what I wanted. Five minutes later they handed it back, copied the file to my thumb drive, and said, "that will be $55". At that rate you would have to pay several tens of thousands for 43 boxes of books? Maybe there's a bulk rate.
