Changing up a Few Things

Hey folks,

We have not posted for several months, with good reason.

Our Business Is BOOMING.  It leaves less time for blogging.

But, we have changed up a few things that you just might want to take advantage of.

EVERY MONTH, starting on the 15th through the end of the month, we offer

FREE SHIPPING

on every order totaling over $30

It's easy to take advantage of this offer, because many of the fabulous books and other items offered by our publishers and independent writers are priced at around $30.  So, if you buy one of the more expensive books, or 2 or more of the least expensive books, you will, no doubt, total your order to over $30 very easily.

It's a good way to say a few bucks, and get a chance to hook some of those new publications that you have been reading about.  

You Are Welcome!

Clearance and Used Catalog of Books is Overflowing! Help!

Our cup runneth over....with books!

Have you browsed our Clearance and Used  Books category lately?  If not, you are missing some really great bargains.

Here are just a few of the latest additions:


"Rosenberg considers the emergence of Pearl Harbor’s symbolic role within multiple contexts: as a day of infamy that highlighted the need for future U.S. military preparedness, as an attack that opened a "back door" to U.S. involvement in World War II, as an event of national commemoration, and as a central metaphor in American-Japanese relations. She explores the cultural background that contributed to Pearl Harbor’s resurgence in American memory after the fiftieth anniversary of the attack in 1991. In doing so, she discusses the recent “memory boom”."   OUR PRICE: $10.00

"Robert J. Hemming recreates the harrowing drama of the individuals and ships that fought to survive one of the most ferocious and costly maritime storms ever. Drawing on historical records, including firsthand contemporary accounts of survivors, this book weaves a gripping tale of valor and courage."
OUR PRICE: $6.00


"Whittlesey recounts deaths ranging from tragedy to folly—from being caught in a freak avalanche to the goring of a photographer who just got a little too close to a bison. The chilling tome that launched an entire genre of books about the often gruesome but always tragic ways people have died in our national parks, this updated edition of the classic includes calamities in Yellowstone from the past sixteen years, including the infamous grizzly bear attacks in the summer of 2011 as well as a fatal hot springs accident in 2000. "  OUR PRICE: $8.50

These are just a few of the 29 new books added to our Clearance and Used category!  More are added every day.  Don't forget our special deal:

"This guide covers all ten counties created from Pennsylvania's Cumberland Valley: Bedford, Blair, Centre, Cumberland, Franklin, Fulton, Huntingdon, Juniata, Mifflin, and Perry. It is especially helpful for identifying Presbyterian churches, Revolutionary War units, and the many townships associated with each county, including townships that no longer exist.

OUR PRICE: $11.95

REVIEWS:

"Here is a compilation of words, phrases, and abbreviations that researchers are likely to encounter in old manuscripts, documents, books, etc. Thousands of archaic or unfamiliar terms from many sources: medical, geographical, relational, legal, religious, foreign, historical, and more."

"Virtually anyone doing genealogical or historical research in English-language records pertaining to America will find this compilation of words and phrases useful. It is not limited to a particular time period, geographical area, or ethnic group but to all aspects of the country's settlement. Among the terms included are medical, legal, religious, relational, colloquial, foreign, occupational, monetary, and household. This is a reference you should keep close at hand, whether working at home or on the road; you never know when you are going to need it. It is the latest edition and the largest the author produced."

Your Life and Times: A Guide to Tell Your Story

Did you ever feel that if you died tomorrow, you would regret not having left a legacy?  Does your family really know the story of your life?  Some people just never get around to telling their story.  Families are left with very little knowledge of their departed loved ones and what experiences they had in their lives.

Here's a suggestion for you.  Get that story told! Now!

Stephen Arthur and Julia Arthur, Genealogical Publishing Co., 1994 reprint
"With Your Life And Times, an oral history handbook, as a guide you will be able to record your life experiences on tape simply by answering questions that will lead you, step by step, through the precious moments of your life. When finished, you will have completed the oral history of your life and times--a treasure for yourself and a gift of love for your family and its future generations."

"Anyone wishing to prepare a written or oral history of a family would benefit from the ideas and techniques presented in [this book]."--THE AMERICAN GENEALOGIST, Vol. 63, No.4 (October 1988).

This book is just the trick to get you started to telling your story.
