I believe the cost of copying 2200 pages plus, with the office store handling the book
themselves, will be prohibitive. I know that Office Depot charges for each page they have
to handle when copying things like this, when they have to turn the pages, etc. They
didn't tell me there was an additional charge when I went in to have 10 pages copied,
so I argued that they should have let me know, but there may be that hidden cost. And
each page could cost a minimum of 10 cents EACH for a copy. You might not want that to
happen.
You could contact a local LDS family history center to see if they would like to contact
their people to see if they want to make a copy for their records and if they would be
willing to put in on line for the public. Even having it in
ancestry.com would be a great
help for many who have subscriptions.
Or find a Wayne county genealogical society who might be willing to make a copy for you IF
they can also sell the other copies they might make.

List, I wanted to expand a little on this Directory that I have. I had to tell to a few
people so far that I can't possibly write out all the entries for more common
Surnames. Some of the Surnames requested have over 100 entries. Less common names are not
a problem I've already sent info to several people. This book is humungous. It has
over 2200 pages of Surnames, and 200 + pages of businesses. It weighs 10 lbs. I
can't get it onto my own printer...it's just too big. What I'm going to do is
take it to Office Max or Staples and ask if they have the capability to make copies of the
pages. Then I can mail them out, providing the cost isn't too much if the pages can
be copied. I hope this can be done because the Directory lists the spouse's name, the
occupation (if any) and in many cases the name of the business where the person worked.
