Box 778 Salem, MA 01970 Phone: 1-978-745-7170 Fax: 1-978-745-8025 e-mail: higginsn@cove.com The price in the catalog is $25.50, for "soft-bound" copy. Hard cover copy is $10.00 more. Plus $4.95 shipping. Allow 8-10 weeks for delivery; plus an additional two weeks for hardcover binding. To fax, you need a copy of the order form from their catalog. You can place a credit card order by phone. They accept check, money order, Mastercard or Visa. There are two other Akers Genealogies listed in the catalog: a} "Akers Family of Franklin Co., VA," combined with the Boone, Cannaday, Hickmqan & Pridgen families, by A. E. Akers. 159pp., c. 1953 - $23.00 b} "Our Kinsfolk," (descendants of Wm. Akers of NJ, ca. 1698), by W. R. Akers. 114 pp., c. 1957 - $19.50 I have both the Shearer-Akers, and "Our Kinsfolk" in the paperback versions. Two folks have offered to purchase Shearer-Akers. If Catherine Cline or Tom Bryan would like to purchase both, they're yours for $35.00 plus $3.20 for Priority Mail. . .and your address. I must tell you, however, that some of the material is yellow hi-lited (not too much in either book) with some penciled notations/generation numbers when I thought these Akerses were descendants from the Hart side. Catherine's request came in first for Shearer-Akers: I'll wait to hear from either one of you.
