After reading the first series of posts, I decided to do a search and also to check out the bookmarks I have on my system. You would not believe the number of genealogy bookstores that are no longer online I tried the link for TLC and it's not there anymore. On various links I noted that Willow Bend had evidently bought them out. So it looks as if we will need to be very careful in our purchases and stay with the shops that have been around for a while. Of course that's not necessarily the case either. Here are a few that I've found very good and the links are still there: Ye Olde Genealogie Shoppe/she also coordinator for several websites http://www.yogs.com/ Byron Sistler and Associates, Inc. http://www.mindspring.com/~sistler/ Higgerson Book Company http://www.higgersonbooks.com/ J & W Enterprises (Southern States) http://www.dhc.net/~jw/index.html Found the search link not working but everything else was fine. And of course, Willow Bend Books http://www.willowbendbooks.com/ I have a lot of others, but all of my research is in the southern states. I found some of the older ones, such as the Picton link didn't work. If anyone has other online stores they are using for southern states, I would appreciate an email from you.
