I haven't used this source but it looks like a good possibility: BUCH-BRUECKE,
96 Sweet Rd, Balliston Lake, NY 12019-1804 Email: They
offer a free catalog and say they get order any German books. They are
advertised in German Life magazine-on line at www.GermanLife.com.
I also recommend looking into books from Verlag (publisher) Gerhard Rautenberg,
Postfach 1909, 2950 Leer (Ostfriesland) They publish an extensive list of books
on the eastern German territories. Adam Kraft Verlag GmbH & Co, KG Mannheim
publishes a 20 band (volume) series of books called Ostdeutsche Heimat in Farbe
(Eastern German's Homeland in Color). I have, Westpreussen in Farbe (band 16),
by Harald Kohtz. It has numerous maps, each showing historical boundry changes
in West Prussia (including Kreis boundries) and it lists the Polish names given
to the German towns after WWII.
