Ken, Two years ago I self published a book called Descendants of Reuben Barrett 1755 to 2000 , it is over 500 pages. I was getting so many orders that it was hard to keep up with printing them as I didn't make any profit from the books. I only charged what it cost me for the supplies to print them. I decided to turn it over to a publisher, Higginson Books. I mailed the transcript in December of 2002. and I hadn't heard from them until the other day, when I sent them an e-mail to see how much longer it would be. Evidentley the woman who I was working with had quit working there and there still wasn't even a file made on my book. The new lady has taken it over and now hopefully it will be ready soon. They said that if I get 10 orders I can get the books cheaper if they are bought thru me rather than the company. So I start making a list and when they are ready I will contact everyone who wants one. Let me know how many you want. There is also two other books I did, unfortunatley I have lost the David Barrett out of my datas base and need to recover it...then there is the address book. Janet
