Solid history of London Quakers and Meetings
This is a faithful reproduction of the standard history of Quakerism in the London city and area from the witness of early Friends in the mid 17th century through the evangelical movement of the mid 19th century, including the founding of each of the local and Monthly Meetings, urban and suburban, in the vicinity of the British capital city. For genealogists, this work will be of great value as background for understanding the lives of Quaker ancestors. While one will not find actual records of births, marriages, or burials, the detailed information about each Meeting should help direct researchers to the various cemeteries and burial grounds which London Friends have used. The maps at the beginning of the book will be valuable aids for researchers, especially since some of the early Meeting Houses have been destroyed by such disasters as the Great London Fire. The Bunhill Meeting House and Burial Ground, located across the road from the famous Bunhill Dissenters Cemetery, contains the grave of George Fox, along with the small simple tombstone which was removed, along with all other grave stones, by the elders who saw tombstones as vain and ostentacious instruments of luxury rather than as the simple memorials most Friends today value. The maps will facilitate visits to those which remain, including some from the 17th century. The illustrations from the original 1869 edition have been reprinted with better clarity than is often the case with such publications. While London never had the strength among early Friends that was found in the North of England, Friends there did have important roles in the wider movement, including lobbying for religious freedom, for the release of Friends imprisoned only because of their Quaker faith, and later for fair treatment for the British colonies in North America. Over the centuries, London Friends also provided wonderful hospital not only to Friends traveling in the ministry but also to the thousands who came to the capital to attend Yearly Meeting sessions, committee meetings, etc, as well as those who had commercial business in London. This book is highly recommended. -Bill Medlin, quakerstudies

Great but costly stamp catalogue
The completeness of Scott Stamp Catalogues by itself is enough to recommend this series. My only objection is that it is so overpriced that the average collector cannot afford to buy even selected volumes of the current edition. I certainly cannot; but I try to find used copies of prior years' editions, usually 2 or 3 years old, and then buy these only once every 8-10 years. While Scott will certainly argue the high cost of publishing today, I as a former book and newspaper publisher am well aware of the real costs, and so I do actually know that they are overpriced. I suggest that if they were more reasonable, many more people would buy them, lowering the relative production cost per copy to remain quite profitable. Then there is the option of offering less expensive alternative publication formats, such as digital copies on CDs. At one time, Scott did this (I still have one, which is still welcomed since it takes so much less space on the shelf, and is more easily revised by the publisher. For color publishing, printing to file on CD or DVD is certainly a fraction of the cost of printing hard paper copies. Scott provides a real service to our hobby by publishing the Catalogue and it is a top quality product, so I still give it five stars as a product.
