The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society is offering free U.S. shipping (a $10 savings) on its monumental book, the
New York Family History Research Guide and Gazetteer.
Since its highly anticipated publication in January 2015, the
New York Family History Research Guide and Gazetteer has garnered
widespread praise and quickly sold out its first print run. The
comprehensive, 856-page book has become the de facto textbook for New
York genealogical research.
Diane Rapaport in the September issue of the
NGS Q calls the book “. . . the biggest and best ever guide to
New York research. Everything a researcher would want to know about
researching New York’s sixty-two counties, and the boroughs of New York
City, is now in one comprehensive, encyclopedic,
easy-to-use manual.”
Henry Hoff, editor of the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, declared "This is a volume that every library and New York researcher should have, and indeed must have."
And the New York Times
described the book as "an overdue handbook for serious researchers,"
"an enlightening and eclectic chronological tour of four centuries of
New York benchmarks and record-keeping," and
"an authoritative, fact-filled beginner's resource."
The Federation of
Genealogical Societies recently presented the NYG&B with an Award of
Merit in recognition of distinguished work in family history for this
publication.
From now until November 30, U.S. shipping and handling (regularly $10) is free for all in the NYG&B
online store, phone, and mail orders when you use the discount Code "BOOKSHIP." The same code will give a $10 discount on shipping for international orders.
