Organized by state, this resource for historians and genealogists covers thousands of published county histories. Each entry lists title, author, place and date of publication, as well as details of editions, reprints, and indexes. Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico are not included. The bibliography is based primarily on the holdings of the Library of Congress and the New York Public Library and is augmented with information furnished by librarians in each state. This is the first paperback edition of a volume originally published in 1985. Annotation 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
