We are pleased to make his books available under the new MacDonald Research imprint. Each book has been reprinted as it was prepared by Mr. MacDonald, without corrections or additions. Modern technology helped us reproduce the original work in as-good-as, or better quality as that which was originally published. Much of MacDonald's original work was created on a typewriter. His well-worn \"masters\" were made on a photocopier. We've cleaned them up as much as possible without re-keying all of the content resulting in books that are useful and complete, but of a print quality that reflects the technology of the time in which they were originally published.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e668 pages\u003cbr\u003e8.5 X 11\"\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published by MacDonald Research Centre, Brockville, 1996 ISBN 0-921133-93-6 (1996 hardcover edition)\u003cbr\u003eThe digital edition published by MacDonald Research*, Milton, 2015 *MacDonald Research is an imprint of GlobalGenealogy.com Inc.
