I would be willing to buy this book unless it is the 1912 one which I have
and is not too useful for me. I belong to the Washington county,
Pennsylvania list and they are passing around the copies from a book that
is out of copyright which this one most likely is and then publishing it on
their web page. I would be willing to do this with the provisio that I
would be slow. However, if people would agree to send me parts in text, we
could put the whole thing up on the Knox county pages.
If anyone is interested in that I can try and call the bookstore this week
and order the book.
