BOOK:  Long Island in the Kennebecasis Bay, Kings County, New Brunswick, Canada
   
The book is 6”x9” in size. It was produced entirely on my computer, scanner and printer. It has covers of heavy card-stock, laminated with clear plastic and has a 1½” spiral coil binding. It is printed on XEROX acid free, 96 bright, 24 pound paper. The text is printed back-to-back.

It has about 141 pages of text, including Table of Contents, Foreword, Introduction, Bibliography and Index. The book has 121 illustrations in both color and black and white, and it includes 15 maps. There are 182 footnotes, with 3 pages of bibliography. There is a five-page index. There are genealogies of 13 early Long Island families, and there are 14 family tree charts inserted inside the back cover.
The book covers the early history to 1786, settlement by Loyalists and Irish in the 18th and 19th centuries, homestead and farm life on the island, 20th century use of the island by campers and for recreation, and an outlook for the future. It includes personal memories of life on the island written by two of the island’s previous inhabitants. It also has memories of the island written by members of my own family, who have been coming to Long Island in the summers for well over 100 years. My research started in 1994, and the first edition was written in June 1999. The book was copyrighted in the year 2000. It is now (2010) in its 9th edition.

If you wish to see a copy, the New Brunswick Museum on Douglas Avenue in Saint John has a  copy of the 6th edition (May 2002). The Kings County Museum at Hampton has a 7th edition (2006) and the John Fisher Museum at Kingston on the Peninsula has an earlier version. There is also a copy at the Saint John Regional Library. Photos have been added since 2006.

Except for cutting, binding, and laminating the covers, I have done the entire project on my computer. I find that my costs come to over $40 in US FUNDS per copy, which doesn’t cover my cost of production. But I need no profit, and am asking $35 in US FUNDS, which includes airmail postage to Canada from here. If you would like to order a copy my address is:
    Barbara S. Mouffe
    600 Hawthorn Avenue
    Boulder, Colorado 80304-2138
    USA
The order should be accompanied by a money order (either Postal or Bank) made out to me for $35 in US FUNDS (a regular check is not acceptable because there is a $15 charge, plus 6-8 weeks to clear!) When I receive the check and an address to send it to I will send you the book. 
    At the moment, two copies are available, and it would take only a few days to make more. Printing the illustrations and maps are the most time-consuming part of the production. After I print the copies the finishing is done at a printing shop.
