Michael Franks Family History and Genealogy book -
reprint information
For those of you who are descendants of Michael
Franck/Franks of
Fayette
County, PA (c.1725-1793) and missed the opportunity to
purchase the
1979
publication of the Michael Franks family history book,
we anticipate
"going
to press" next month for the long-awaited reprint
edition.
The original project was undertaken by genealogists
Alice Rowley Franks
and
Donald Sublette, and was sponsored by the Franks Clan
Association in
Uniontown PA. The reprint will be available "at
cost" and will also
include
a much-needed everyname index.
We still need to finalize a few small things,
including the total
number of
books to print. Since we will be offering the book at
cost, the size
of the
print run has a big impact on the price of the book.
Relatively
speaking,
the larger the print run, the lower the per-book cost.
A few comments on this reprint edition -
1. It includes an every-name index (the original was
not indexed).
2. This reprint edition is basically just that - a
reprint of the
original
book, with no updates or additions to the text, and
thus no additional
generations are included. Some brief "reprint notes,"
however, have
been
added to the text.
3. The Franks book reprint will be hardbound.
4. The book will be available to you "at cost" -
which includes the
manuscript preparation and indexing costs; printing
and binding costs;
packaging, postage and insurance costs. The
manuscript has been
brought up
to current publishing standards, and the book is
approximately 500
pages
including the index. At this point, we expect the
purchase price not
to
exceed $40. The final price will depend on the number
of books we will
have
printed.
Please contact me at sflein(a)aol.com if you have any
questions on the
reprint,
or if you are interested in purchasing a copy of this
book.
Thank you,
Susan Franks Leininger
