BOOKS FOR LIVING

Introduction

‘Books for Living’ is purely an Internet project and does not, at this time, plan to produce books in hard copy. This is our contribution toward a paperless society. We feel that Internet use not only makes the world a smaller place in terms of increasing ease of communication but also can be a factor in saving our forests.

We hope that this method of electronic publication will allow low overhead costs. Such a low overhead would be translated into generous contracts for our authors and should enable us to advertise widely, benefiting the company and the writers who work with us.

A. MacDarragh Burke, MD, who is a founding member of our company, is of Irish ancestry and not entirely ashamed of it. Dr. Burke has agreed to start a section for Irish names and families. A family will be represented by its coat of arms, a map showing where they lived, a short history of the family and some addresses on the Internet where further genealogical information may be acquired. Dr. Burke feels he can add a name a week to this section and he will answer any questions you may have about your ancestry. All the information in this section is, of course, FREE.

As of the present date (18-2-2000) the following books may be purchased through 'Books for Living' :
