Subject: [TN] Outstanding new TN book available! Date: Mon, 15 Jun 1998 12:16:52 -0400 From: "Billie R. McNamara" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Those of you who don't belong to a TN gene or hist society may not have received this mailing, so I wanted to share it: The Tennessee Historical Society has announced pre-publication orders for _The_Tennessee_Encyclopedia_of_History_&_Culture_ -- due to be off the press July 13. The book will contain 1,000 pages, over 1500 articles, 29 major essays, 500 authors, 150 maps and illustrations, extensive cross-referencing, bibliographical information, and a detailed index. Carroll Van West, noted historian and author, is the Editor-in-Chief. It is being printed by Rutledge Hill Press in Nashville. Cost is $49.95 plus $10 to cover tax, postage, and handling for Tennessee. Those having it shipped out of Tennessee should add $6 instead of $10. Note that this is for US or APO/FPO addresses. Foreign orders need to be arranged with THS (see below). They accept check, MC, and Visa. Address: Tennessee Historical Society, War Memorial Building, Nashville, TN 37243-0084. Phone is 615-741-8934. Fax is 615-741-8937 for credit card orders. This is a secure fax machine. E-mail information requests or credit card orders can be sent to THS at this address: <[email protected]> On e-mail or fax orders, be sure to include the full account number, your name as it appears on the card, your billing address for the card, and your expiration date. THS won't be able to honor orders direct to them after August 15. This is a limited press run of 13,000. There will be a book-signing on August 6 in Nashville. Details will be sent to those who order copies from THS before that date. Just so there's no confusion about commercialism, I have no financial interest in this publication. I will purchase a copy, though! LISTOWNERS: Please forward this to all the lists you think are appropriate! Thanks!
