Greetings Pat, I am interested in knowing if the abstracts are indexed and if so, do the names West, Shorb, Orrison, Bitzer, or Hirst appear? What is the price of each book? Look forward to your reply. Many thanks, Ellen Sherbs Jameson p.s. Are there other newspaper abstract books availble for earlier dates? **************Gas prices getting you down?
