We are pleased to offer you with an alternative to searching for rare and out-of-print books to do your family tree research. Surely you have spent hours trying to find a book which you saw referenced in someone else's genealogy, we have been there as well. It is time consuming and can prove to be costly if you do ever find the book you want.
Our E-Books are produced by scanning and digitizing the original books page by page. This preserves the original look and feel of the work, so you see the book as it was meant to be seen. Everything from the format of the paragraphs to the font used to set the type is preserved. Even pictures and drawings are exactly as they appear in the original work. To complete the task the whole work is brought together with the help of Adobe Acrobat, and can be easily viewed by anyone with a computer and the Adobe Acrobat Reader software. We include the Adobe Acrobat Reader for Microsoft Windows 3.xx/95/98/98SE/ME/XP/2000/NT and Macintosh right on the CD-ROM. Versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader are also available as a free download for Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems from the Adobe website.
Our E-books are better than the originals for many reasons. They are completely indexed, you can perform a search for any word in the text and the Adobe Acrobat Reader will almost instantly let you know if the that word is present. If it does find the word it will highlight it for you. You can then use the navigation keys to jump back and forth between every occurrence of the word you searched. There is no longer a need to make photocopies of pages to send others, you now simply print what you want. This saves a lot of wear and tear on old, expensive, fragile books. All of the page images are completely scalable, so you can enlarge the images as you like for easy reading right on your computer screen. Please take a few minutes to view the samples we have made available on-line.
