It is hard to find but ebay has it for $150 on up. You will find it plus a whole lot more in Google. Look under misc for books and then type in the author or title or both or as I did just type in History of Monmouth County and you will find all kinds of material. You will see that some books will not let you look at any pages while others will let you see snippets or table of contents. The best are those that let you have full view and those can be downloaded in PDF format and put on CDs for reading. You can print a page at a time of the pertinent information. If you have trouble printing let me know and I will try to help. In short the pages must be printed as pictures. tell Ivy hello. She is a dear. Best. Rod Applegate
