I want my historical directory to be available to adoptees and genealogists. I just checked Amazon.com and they say no copies are currently available for sale, but "Average Used Price: $200.00"

I find that price impossible to believe---and, of course, no author makes a profit on the sale of used books. Half a year ago, I gave permission to my cousin's son to put the book onto a CD-ROM in searchable format and to market it as he sees fit. First I heard that the son took a full time job, then I heard he was ill. Since I'm not paying him anything, I have nothing to say.
