Chadwick-Healy is a fairly well-known company which handles large
bibliographical projects. The one I am familiar with is the micrifiche
reproduction of the two million + catalog cards in Spain's Biblioteca
Nacional, which they are selling for about $28,000.

Malcolm Brown of Stanford asks if Chadwyck-Healy is real. C-H has been a
publisher based in England and with a Teaneck, New Jersey office and
warehouse address since about 1977. He publishes *Publishing History*
edited by Michael Turner of the Bodleian. And he is reputable.

Although I do not know the particular database, I can attest that
Chadwyck-Healy is a reputable firm from which the University of Delaware
Library has made a number of major purchases over the years. Especially
important for research has been their microfilms of publishers'
archives-- e.g., the 115 reels of the London publisher Richard Bentley.
There are about 10 other publishers represented in that particular
series.
