Hi folks, There's a couple types of bookstores. Some sell new books, current books, ie books in print. Like Borders! Some are 'second hand' bookstores, antiquarian bookstores that focus on books that are not in print. Some are specialized in specific areas, like Books Ulster, that is an antiquarian bookstore in County Down. You can sign up for a free eletter that tells you about their newest acquisitions. Besides books they sell original documents like the deed of your ancestor from 1650. They have an on line catalog that lets you search through these items to see if indeed they got the original deed of your ancestor (yet!). Here's some of what they got this week. I've deleted some stuff that is off topic, too political and probably not of interest to us as it is too LOOooonnng for our attention spans otherwise <grin>. Scroll to the bottom for the website and contact info. If the publication date is recent and you don't live in the UK, you might check www.amazon.com, etc, for a local copy to avoid paying postage from the UK. Also, people wanting to share stuff like this on lists are requested by Rootsweb to check it out with the list admin first to make sure it's on topic and desired on the list. this one is okay as the traffic is low. But if we were getting 20 posts a day I'd not send it out as we'd be in a state of fatigue already. Me, I get all the 'bounces' for every email sent out, which is usually 7 or more, so if you ever wonder what I am doing...it's deleting bounced emails!
