AI Notes
A printed promotional / order-form flyer issued by the Barbour County Historical Society in 1979, soliciting submissions and pre-orders for ‘THE HISTORY OF BARBOUR COUNTY, W.VA.’ for delivery in 1979. The upper half of the flyer pictures sample county history books (the displayed volume is labeled MANISTEE — MASON — OCEANA, a Central Michigan county history used here as a stand-in cover image) and describes the planned 9 x 12 leatherette binding with gold-stamped cover. The lower half is a perforated BOOK ORDER BLANK with line items for the $25.00 book, $0.75 tax, $2.00 postage (if mailed), and gift certificates, with mailing address Barbour County History Book, Philippi, W.Va. 26416 and a ‘DEADLINE: MARCH 30, 1979’ boxed at upper right. Pasted into the album because the compilers of pages 660-664 contributed family histories to this volume.
