I just got off the phone with Mrs Mary Ann Hamrick trying to get a copy of the History of Jomes County. She informed me that she no longer has any copies of the book for sale. She also said that her sister in Griffin, Ga no longer has any copies. She asked me to pass the word along to all who may be contemplating ordering a book from her.
