Even though it is Halloween time lets not treat them!! I recently received a mailing about how my family had been in the Civil War,and that there was now a book about them. Buyer Beware when ordering these Civil War family history books. Halbert's are back to their old tricks again! Halbert's of Bath, Ohio, has come up with a new gimic. They are now using an address from Washington, DC, to try and peddle their wares. Halbert's is now using the name: "US Information Burueau NUMA" (note the spelling of Bureau) 3220 N. St, NW Ste 1400 Washington D.C. (no zip code given)" They are advertising a book regarding all the people with your family's surname in the Civil War. Don't be fooled. This is the same poor craftmanship and outdated generic information in a new cover. This time they want $49.95+ shipping and handling. Be very, very careful!!! Don't believe their money back guarantee. They are a real hassle to deal with.
