And a lovely article in today's Herald News about the book!

Stefani -- guessing not, but any chance the FRHS will print a collectors 'hard bound' version of this book?

[Stefani]

GOOD question. I will find out for you.

[camgarsky4]

Copy just arrived! Love Amazon Prime!

I'll probably be scarce on the forum for a little while as I read the book....>450 pages!

[wall59]

Mine arrives tomorrow so please try to keep from spoiling the ending for me. HaHa

[Reasonwhy]

Ordered mine from the Fall River Historical Society before I realized it was on Amazon Prime…so I have to hope they are quick shippers. And maybe that will benefit the FRHS?

So excited!!! Just ordered my copy :D

[camgarsky4]

Swinell -- so glad you are back!! We've got some good 'banter' going on with some key issues.....jump in!

The FRHS was mailing them out as the orders came in. People are reporting getting them quickly. Hope it is the same for you.

Stefani -- wanted to chime is that I really am enjoying the method and style of how you and the team presented the information in JJ.
Thanks!

Stefani, it just arrived. And aren’t you kind for taking the time to write to me; thank you! You and Mr. Martins and Mr. Binette produced such a tour de force with Parallel Lives—and yes, your clear, thorough index adds so much to that work—that fans like me can become, shall we say, less than patient, waiting for your next book. Hope it sells like crazy for you.

The Society could certainly use the funds. They have not been able to have their Holiday Open House for two seasons now, and that is when they make most of their money during the year. Plus, because they have been mostly closed this whole time, no tours could be conducted. They are finally open for the gift shop and some tours, but it is not like before. Yet. So yes, I hope it sells like crazy for them too!

Stefani -- does the Society sell Borden crime related photos? Love to get my hands on the various photos of the house, yard and neighborhood. I don't see them on the website, but think I heard the FRHS did or used to sell them.

Same general question on acquiring contemporary Fall River maps and city directories.

Thanks in advance for any ideas on how to purchase these items.
