At the time I bought his books he only had a few sets left, and he was asking hundreds of dollars for them. Admittedly, they are both thick volumes with tons of info. I am not willing to sell my set but have a suggestion for you. Have you looked on Ebay for any copies? There may still be some out there. From what I understand from others with whom I have corresponded, there were a lot of errors in his book. My line, for instance, is lacking an entire section. My understanding is htat he solicited family histories and then compiled them in his book, he did not do much of his own research.
