About Our State and Local Histories

Many State and Local History books published in the last 100-150 years were originally printed in "short-runs"...usually between 100 and 300 copies.  Because of these small-volume printings, these books are often very rare and difficult to acquire.  Janaway Publishing, Inc. produces many of these archival-quality genealogy reprints from their own private library, and has access to thousands of more titles. With this service, you now has the opportunity to acquire these books for your personal research, or to pass them on to other generations.

The pages are reproduced, digitally-enhanced, and printed on acid-free paper, which, in most cases, are larger than the size of the book's original pages. The acid-free paper meets the Library of Congress standards for strength and permanence (ANSI Standard C39.47-1984 rates it as having a 200-year life span!), which means no more torn and brittle pages. Illustrations are included but the quality will depend upon the original drawing or photograph.

Binding

Paperback Binding:  The standard binding for most of the books is paperback, and the method used will depend upon the supplier and the thickness of the book.  Some suppliers use glue and cloth reinforcement at the spine, others will use comb or coil binding. Shorter books are usually staple-bound.

Hardcover Binding:  You can add archival-quality hardcover buckram bindings to your book for $18.00 per book. Handsome, and very durable, it is well worth the bindery fee for longer books and gifts.

Delivery

Generally, allow six to eight weeks for delivery.  If Hardcover binding is ordered, allow another two weeks to the delivery time.  Please remember, these books are printed on-demand, and usually one-at-a-time.
