Dear Sam, I have 2 large paper records from the West Virginia Advocate. I think years before I spoke to a man who I thought was the publisher of the paper. I never knew it was a book, I thought it was a newspaper. I think the publisher was at one time thought of as being pretty outspoken. I think he has since passed away.The Address follows: The West Virginia Advocate: P. O. Box 171, Cacapon Bridge, W.Va. 26711 In the top right-hand corner it says (newsstand-45cents They are dated 1989,1991 Hope this helps.
