Please excuse duplication. In the Sept 1, 2001 Library Journal, there is a double-page spread from Somerset Publishers. This is one of the publishers that produces low-quality materials. Save your money and do not buy from these people. Recently received in the CTLS office was a flyer from the North American Book Distributors in Hamburg, Mich. Save your money, and do not buy from them, either. I have seen books printed by these publishers, unfortunately in a CTLS member library. They are cheaply bound and certainly not worth the exorbitant price charged. If you need information on Texas, the most authoritative works available are the New Handbook of Texas (also on the web) and the Texas Almanac. Thank you.
