[Genealib] Publishers for genealogy material

[Trevia W Beverly]

Are the letters going to be reproduced or typed?  A good 'hands-on' method
is to use one of the large office supply chains that can use archival paper,
do spiral binding of several kinds, etc.....  worth investigating There are
also several 'print on demand' companies. A goggle search should bring them
up.

Hi,
The 3 best around here (Pittsburgh) are:
Craig Scott and Willow Bend, Mechling Bookbindery, and Closson Press. All
have a web site.
All 3 produce a good quality publication.

Hi-

I have a genealogy patron who is looking to publish a book but is not sure
how to go about accomplishing this. He has a wonderful collection of letters
that he would like to have put into a book. These letters were sent to his
grandmother from her siblings and other relatives, and they really cover a
slice of American life from a certain time period. One person fought in the
Civil War, another had an encounter with John Wilkes Booth before Lincoln's
assassination, still another wrote from the fields of the gold rush. That's
just to give you an idea of what he has and to illustrate that it's not a
genealogy or family history that he wants to publish, but something of
interest to his relatives and possibly historians as well.

Any ideas about who I should send him to?

Thanks for your input!
