Hi

Genealogical Publishing Co, through it's web name
GenealogyBookShop.com says that Long Island Source Records is out of
print, but they will reprint it if they get enough requests.

So... join me in asking for a reprint. You search for the book as if
you are ordering it, then get a screen with a link asking to be
notified when it is available, where you will be given the opportunity
to ask for the reprint.

Place "Long Island" in the search engine at their home page, here:

http://www.genealogybookshop.com/genealogybookshop/index.html

Then, click on the link that says "Let me know when this book is
available". Clicking there does not obligate you to buy the book, but
does increase the chances they will reprint it.

"Each year, however, we reissue more than 200 out of print titles, any
number of which might be of interest to you. By telling us that you
are interested in a particular book, you increase the likelihood that
we will reprint that title. Once we know you're looking for a book, we
can notify you by mail when it becomes available. By having us add
your name to our list of persons to be notified, you are not making a
decision to purchase a book."

PS: If anyone knows where I can buy this book, please let me know.

Other. Temporarily out of print.

More About This Book:

This is a collection of articles originally published in The
New York Genealogical and Biographical Record containing primary
source materials for Long Island. The records range from censuses and
lists of early inhabitants to newspaper notices, wills, deeds, town
records, and Bible and family records. Few other works on Long Island
offer such a range of materials; hence the value of these source
record articles from the Record, which has been at the forefront of
Long Island genealogy since 1870.

The census records include the Southold census of 1686, the
Hempstead census of 1698; and the 1800 federal census of Kings,
Queens, and Suffolk counties. Early Kings County wills and deeds are
abstracted, as are wills in Queens County deed books. There also are
town records or vital statistics of Newtown, Huntington, Gravesend,
Hempstead, and, especially, Southold, which has vital statistics from
town records and the "Salmon Records," a private register of marriages
and deaths from 1696 to 1811.

This work, completely indexed, has 25,000 entries!
