Grateful for any reply. Thanks. >> I just called the book store in Tucson and asked about this book, it is where I purchased recently 'The Printed Source'. He has had queries about the book and similar books he told me what he has told others. These counties publish a limited edition of books like this and that is it. Need to get with the county involved and see if they have any copies left and he said usually not that these limited editions are sold out fairly fast. Sorry for the bad news. BJ in AZ I am going to do this as I just got varification that my fathers surname in listed in Spartenburgh, SC in Will book A just going thru a new book purchased named 'The Printed Source' found a page printed out of this book and my fathers surname was listed there. I know how to go from me back but when the trail stops you pick up straws where you find them and hope that they will connect in the middle with you. This book lists publishers but with so many over the states they can not list all the smallers ones just point us into a direction to use. BJ in AZ
