Thanks so much, Janis Beth, for the suggested potential sources. Though I did find Küstner books on both sites, unfortunately none were the book that I seek.

They're more likely to have something like this than eBay, in my experience.

I'm hoping you may be able to do it again. I am interested in buying copies of a book, "Evangelische Einwohner in Merxheim, 1525-1900" [translated as "Protestant Inhabitants of Merxheim, 1525-1900"] which is one of a number of books authored by K. Herbert KU[with umlaut]STNER. Unfortunately, Herr KÜSTNER passed away recently. I am told that all of his genealogical papers have been given to a trust. The trust has only one copy of the book in question, and there are no plans to go to print again. I tried the eBay.de site, but to no avail. Does anyone know where I might get cop(y)ies of this book?
