[Genealib] US History Publishers, Murietta, CA?

[Rhonda Stoffer]

Our library received the same fax, I filled it out and faxed it back. We
have ordered the Indiana volume for the Indiana Room and the Reference
department, see what it looks like. I don't know anything about the
company and the reference librarian hadn't heard of them either.

Hello all,
 
One of our branches received a fax from the above company asking for
basic historical facts about their town. Things such as county, state, a
description of the location, date founded, any historical or famous
people and for the location of hisorical documents. Naturally, there is
an order blank to order the book they say they will be printing. Part of
the questionaire states that "We plan to obtain copies of the books you
recommended, digitize them for reprinting, and make the digital images
available on Google Book Search."
 
I have checked WorldCat and found several libraries who have purchased
this set of books. Is there anyone on this list who has experience with
this company and/or The dictionary of United States History (14 vols.)
 
If you received this, would you fill it out and return it? As far as I
know, only one of our 7 branches has received this.
 
Thank you.
