The libraries that hold copies of this book list the publisher as Spot Publishing, I believe, in Rockford, IL. Do you know if this is accurate? I have examined the copy at the Newberry in Chicago, have purchased a copy of my own, and online have perused the copy at the U. of Ill. libraryBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00928661227634251353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32738097.post-88572585043701388282017-12-30T03:23:09.895+00:002017-12-30T03:23:09.895+00:00Karen - I'm related to your grandfather throug...Karen - I'm related to your grandfather through his cousin Jennie.

I would like to get one if they're not oppressively expensive. I understand there are originals and there are British reprints done a year or two after the original came out. I would be most interested in the original. Thanks.
