I have searched the book inside out , there is no copyright . From the letters written about the church from many pastors in the area , the closest date I can get is 1984 . The book is a soft cover and on the back it says 200th Jubilee of 200 years of American Methodism . There are many names of those who designated gifts to the church in 1984 among them is a Mr and Mrs Merle H Bingaman , Dr and Mrs Richard McClarren , some other surnames ; Lowans , Pheil, Garnes , Beard , Grove , Chamberlain , Hawbaker , Hege , Shoop, Gossert, some of these families were married into my Beck family . There is a list of Pastors starting in 1818 with J.Caleb Reynolds and ending with 1980 to present ( I guess 1984 ? ) James A. Diles I would think that the church would have a copy , and the local Library too , but not sure what they would list it as ? Kathy --------------------------------- Stay in the know.

One further clarification - copyright was not my point. You aren't looking for the copyright info. You are looking for an ISBN#. Copyright was only mentioned as a guide on to where to find the ISBN #, if there were one. The ISBN# in modern books is always listed on the same page as the copyright information. But - you don't need the copyright information to search the library catalogs. You can use any of the following: the ISBN#, the author, the title, or a keyword from the title or the subject.

Dear Kathy: I think You have gotten a hold of a good book !

You can't copyright God's word but if Anyone looks at a BIBLE only the things they have printed that was designed themselves can be copyrighted! Glenn E.
