    1. How to order the Wilcox Book
    2. Re the book: Wilcox/Wilcoxson Families of New England and Their Descendants. A Genealogical Dictionary. 2nd Revised Edition-- (#0705) I sent a query to Heritage Books asking how to get on the list or buy the book. Here is part of what they sent me: >Prepub Price: $53.00 till 29 November 1997 (thereafter $66) >If you are a Maryland resident, 5% sales tax applies. Shipping and handling >is a $4 charge for continental US; outside the country is $6. >If you would like to place an order, we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, >checks and money orders. You can call or fax in your credit card order >(numbers listed below), or mail in any order. We do not currently recommend >emailing orders because we cannot guarantee the security of the lines. > >Thanks for your interest in Heritage Books! ---- >Heritage Books, Inc. >1540E Pointer Ridge Place >Bowie Maryland 20716 >phone 1-800-398-7709 (M-F 8:30-5 EST) >fax 1-800-276-1760 (24 hrs) >Check our home page at www.heritagebooks.com >email [email protected] >International callers: Please check with your operator for dialing prefix >before calling us at 301-390-7709 or faxing us at 301-390-7153. Just for the record, I have nothing to do with Heritage Books but I had tried to buy the previous edition of this book with no luck. Used book stores quoted $61 for it but they didn't have any. I also tried to borrow it through inter-library loan. The local library said "Sorry, no library is willing to loan the book to us and only one library that we talked to offered to copy pages if you can tell them which pages you want" (?) And the good news is that this edition contains everything the 1990 and 1993 editions had plus additions and corrections according to Heritage. I do hope my elusive Abraham Wilcox is in there. If not, my plan is to eliminate all the other Wilcox's in the US and he must be the one that is left. :-) <VBG> Bill in sunny Phoenix
