UPDATE: Craig Scott e-mailed me and called to my attention another web site he maintains for folks other than libraries and such - - the general public. Apparently the “Willow Bend Books” web site is geared more towards institutional sales.

The other web site he called to my attention is: www.HeritageBooks.com.

Mr. Charles Albert’s book can be found here on the Heritage site.

Recently I have been asked several times for information that I was able to quickly and easily obtain from Mr. Albert’s book.

Many folks will know Mr. Albert as Westminster Common Council member Suzanne Albert’s[1] husband.

For history and political geeks such as me, this book is a must for your library and worth every penny of its $41.00 price tag. It is meticulously researched and includes almost 566 pages of names and dates, political parties historical context and commentary

It can be obtained by contacting Craig Scott or any of his staff at Willow Bend Books,[2] 65 East Main Street (in the old Times Building where Bobby’s Hobby Lobby - across the street from the old Westminster Fire Hall - was for many years) in Westminster, MD 21157.

He lists a “1-800” number on his web site:

Library Services Division: 1-800-398-7709 and Fax: 410-871-2674

I found this e-mail address: webmaster@WillowBendBooks.com

A description of the book on Mr. Scott’s web site is as follows:

Mr. Albert has compiled county voting results from past elections that are available, and identified all of the people whose names appeared on a ballot in Carroll County. 2002, 6x9, paper, index, 566 pp.

Willow Bend Books has always tried to provide one-stop shopping to its customers. Before January 2001, Willow Bend Books focused on growing inventory and availability, publishing a few titles every year, acquiring other publishing firms, etc. Its goal was to be all that it could be to the genealogy marketplace. With the acquisition of Heritage Books, Inc. in January 2001 and the years that have followed, is became apparent that things were not as simple as they were before. Whereas before we was able to allocate resources in a non-competitive manner among one-stop shopping and our publishing responsibilities, today those responsibilities seem to operate at cross purposes. So now we hope, by spinning off Willow Bend Books from Heritage Books we will be able to better separate the revenue streams, focus on what we do best, and again provide a place for one-stop acquisition of material of interest, especially to genealogical librarians.

If you need a book in a hurry, we are not the place to purchase a title (unless it happens to be a Heritage Books title). If you are willing to wait a while then we can decrease the number of purchase orders that you have to deal with. We will endeavor to be the place to learn what exists out there in the market place and keep you informed.

If you purchase from us, you understand that everything from us is special order. We do not stock anything. It will take some time to fill your order as we wait to reach minimum order quantities with publishers, wait for societies and individuals to respond to our requests for their books, and get them on their way.
