Hi, I've been gone a few days and am just catching up on my e mail. The History of Stephenson County book, for sale at Barnes & Noble, undoubtedly is a reprint of the "1880 History of Stephenson County" book. Higginson Books sells reprints of genealogy and family history books, that are free of copyright protection. The B & N price mentioned, is about the price of the 1880 History, if you were buy it direct from Higginson. Their web site address is www.higginsonbooks.com/ Ward Ryan
