My husband came in this evening bearing a rather heavy box that had been left on our doorstep. It was addressed to me and when I opened it, there were 10 copies hot off the press of my new book,Non-Federal Censuses of Florida, 1784-1945: A Guide to Sources, available from McFarland. The link takes you to the page where you can see a photo of the cover. I'm very pleased with it.
I'll take some of those copies and give them to libraries -- the genealogy departments of the Clay County Library and the Jacksonville Public Library main branches, the library of the University of North Florida, where I'm a student, and the library of the Southern Genealogist's Exchange Society, of which I'm a member.
Nice to see a real product at the end of a few years of work! Now to get to work on the next one!

Relevant and intelligent comments are welcome. I have had to turn on moderation and "captcha" again because for the past several days, I have been getting nothing but irritating, inane spam. Sorry, but them's the berries.
I reserve the right to delete comments which are irrelevant, which try to sell a product or push an agenda, or which contain any of the words George Carlin couldn't say on TV. Please post your comments in a language I can read, those being English and Spanish. (I'll translate Spanish comments so others can read them, if necessary). I'm sorry, but I cannot read other languages, and since I do not know what might be being said, I will have to delete comments in languages which I cannot read.
Congratulations on the new book! Quite an accomplishment!
