Is that the main NEHGS library in Boston, or is that particular book available through their Circulating Library? I ask for two reasons: 1). I live in South Carolina and obviously would need to order from the Circulating Library, and 2). I cannot find that specific Gilman book listed in the Circulating catalog. Do you know the answer offhand? There are other "Gilman" related books listed in the catalog, but not the one written by Charlotte Ames Gilman. I also saw that you mentioned Charlotte's book was available through Heritage Press. I recall earlier this year, several people who had tried ordering that book from Heritage were told by the publisher that the book was no longer available. Have those circumstances changed? I do hope so, as I would love to see a copy of the book -- one way or another! I also appreciate your research tips to George, I plan to try some myself! Thanks, Pamela Rhett Molzan
