I have a suggestion.

Everyone might let their local academic and/or public librarian
know about this wonderful reprint offer. I imagine that when these
volumes first appeared there was a more limited interest. Today,
with so many more people pursuing family history ... in large part
due to the Internet ... there might be a larger market, especially if
libraries are made aware of the reprint. I doubt many librarians
have the time to watch specialist genealogy lists and newsgroups such
as this so they will not learn of this offer otherwise, from the
sound of it.

(I have done my bit and have advised the librarians at the National
Library of Canada about the reprint. NLC does have copies now but
may wish to purchase additional copies, depending on the physical
condition of those currently held. The appropriate people are
investigating.)

Re lurking: My next post will detail the names I am seeking which
have a Jersey connection. I have been quiet too long! (Like I said,
busy librarians have little time to spend in discussion groups!)

Donna.
