“Replete with numerous family photographs, genealogy reports, charts, and stories of family happenings, this narrative traces the five generations of the Serra family. This is a book that non-family members will pick up to read in order to learn of the lives of recent immigrants as they adapt to the new surroundings and customs so different from those of the ancestral homeland. A non-Serra descendant and non-Italian, this reviewer found the book well done, educational, and just plain fascinating.” – ACD, Book Reviewer, Connecticut Society of Genealogists

by Susan K. Walsh
Pear Tree Publishing, 2011, Full Color
$25.00, ISBN: 978-0-9821983-1-5
200 Years of North Andover History

“I experienced sights and sounds no different from those of the last century, and almost no different from those of the last two hundred years. In the coming years, the farm and its surroundings would undergo more changes than it had for those two hundred, but at that moment, that rare day in June, it stood unchanged, timeless – the epitome of the New England farm in Spring.” – Susan K. Walsh

BOUND FOR MUNSUNGUN – Family Heirloom Edition
The History of the Early Sporting Camps Of Northern Maine
by Jack Ahern

$35.95, ISBN: 978-0-9749291-9-4
Hard Cover Edition with over 20 pages of new material!
Sold Out

“Jack painstakingly researched his book, which introduces readers to the pioneers, families and guides who earned a living in some of the state’s most unforgiving territory. “Bound for Munsungan” is a bit like the territory it describes: It’s a hard-edged, rustic, no-nonsense account. You don’t find long, flowery passages full of adjectives and descriptions in Ahern’s work. The collected black-and-white photos take care of that brand of heavy lifting. You do learn something new on every page, however, as Ahern walks you though the region’s history and introduces you to people like Will Atkins, Milt Hall, Walter Grau and the Libby family.” –  John Holyoke, Bangor Daily News

Jack Ahern has always had an interest in history. He made his first visit to the Maine woods on a hunting trip to Ripogenus Dam in 1947. After visiting Munsungun Lake at the headwaters of the Aroostook River in 1956, he became a regular guest at the Bradford Camps and has continued to hunt and fish this area for over forty years. While at these camps, many yarns are spun during both the fishing and hunting season. He realized that there was a great deal of history that could be either lost or recorded for future generations. It was evident that the older guides and the camp owners were eager to reminisce about their early years in these Maine woods… These are those stories and tall tales; we hope that you enjoy them! – Taken from the back cover

This is the story of an iconic device for hot metal typesetting. Born at the beginning of the 20^th Century. Its active production lifespan lasted just over 80 years, and still in use by letterpress printers around the world. Author Frank Romano has dug deep to discover more than has ever been published about the people, the company and the machine that established typographic tastes. All proceeds from this book benefit the Museum of Printing, Haverhill, MA. – Taken from the back cover

The phototypesetting era is today a footnote to the history of graphic communication. It lasted about 40 years and disappeared. It reached its peak in the 1980s as desktop publishing, computer-to-plate, and digital printing were advancing rapidly. This book lists every phototypesetter and details the evolution of the technology and the market. The First Edition was produced as a student project by CalPoly students. All proceeds from this edition support the Museum of Printing in Haverhill, Massachusetts where the only collection of phototypesetters resides. – Taken from the back cover
