--WebTV-Mail-20355-2622 Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit The book is 320 pages long and these are large pages. It is too large (11in X 8.5in) to photo copy the whole thing and would be very expensive. I photocopied about 100 pages of other materials for a family member & it cost me almost $15 and two hours of time! I wouldn't mind doing lookups and copying important info but the whole book would be far too "taxing". This is the only copyof this book that I have ever seen but they may still be available. It was printed by the Parthenon Press as far as I can tell around 1980. It was compiled by Clara Waldron Pierce, James Pierce McClurkin, and Graham L. Pierce. It was published by Lovick Pierce, I believe this is Lovick Pierce V.I will check Barnes & Noble to see if it is there. Let me know how else I can help. By the way LD, where in OK is Gage? Let me know. Sincerely, Michael S.
