HOW TO ORDER AND COST

Ricks, The Descendants of Jonas Ricks and Other Ricks Families in America,(Dexter, Mich., Donald M. Ricks, 1998)

This book is now available via mail from Alabama. Shipment to those who prepurchased began 7 February 1998. This book contains 255 pages of well organized text that includes a table of contents, eleven chapters, one appendix, and a huge, four-column index. It is formatted to be an 8 1/2 X 11 inch book, printed on acid free paper, with a hard-cover that includes imitation gold foil stamped lettering on the cover and spine. It will be an heirloom!

In order to present an enourmous amount of information, there is no wasted white space; and there are no cute line art charts, and no photographs. Within are family traditions, extensive and fully explained research results, and pertinent material from credible publications presented in proper context. There are several blank family group sheets at the end of certain chapters (placed on the left side where a blank page frequently appears before the start of a new chapter) for entering your family information.

The price for this book is $25, plus $3 shipping, delivery confirmation, and handling costs. The first copy ordered by non-profit libraries and genealogical societies will be shipped without postage and handling charges added (total $25). The price is very low for such a book (but reasonable in view of my stated goal).

If you have internet access, you can also use the guestbook entry form (see bottom of home page for the link)to comment about the book and its contents. There is now a page showing corrections and additional information discovered after printing the book. Your comments will probably lead to additional postings. Thanks for your input!
