I don't want to beat a dead horse to death, but.....
(because my phone line was off for 4 days and I have just now been reunited with the WEB and Berks Co lists
I felt I needed to speak on some of the recent issues):

The 'Mining eBay' that Bonnie Blau does for the list can also be done on your own, if you are interested in what items are for sale in your county of interest. There is such a thing as 'saved searches' on their site, which alerts you to new items being posted whenever they are. You can set up as many as 3 searches for different criteria to give you feedback as to what is 'new' on the site being offered for sale. Without Bonnie to show everyone what is for sale there only once a week, many items of interest could be overlooked.

Also, without Bonnie and her vision of getting Morton Montgomery's 1909 2 Vol set of the History and BIOs for Berks CO posted to the ~PABERKS web board, less information would be available online for people of 'our' county. We owe Bonnie and all those who contributed to that BIO project a big THANKYOU for posterity to come! Our hard work is on the internet forever!

Here are new items I just received today from my own 'saved search' at eBay for Berks:

This information is informative and helpful for anyone searching for more references. Also, you do have the opportunity to find the same books for sale at other websites! Isn't 'informative' information better than none at all?
