Of course, you are right. We should all strive to keep the discourse civil and educational in this public forum. Thanks Loran, for positive response. Hi ALL, Now I have a question about a book; "Boyhood Days In Old Metuchen" by Dr. Trumbull Marshall, c 1929. Handwritten inked note at beginning of the book reads: " To My Son Marshall with love from the author. David T. Marshall. June 1929". I emailed Metuchen Historical Society in New Jersey,and they said they had several of these books in their historical collection. What got my interest is that Thomas Edison is mentioned , with pictures, several times in this book. Page 64 shows b&w photo of author in the Edison laboratory at Orange N. J. in 1889.Next page shows b&w photos of Edison's lab in Menlo Park in 1890. Below this is another photo of Passenger car of the original Edison Electric Railway, 1880. Than used as a chicken coop in 1911. There are more black and white photos concerning Edison in this book, also photos of the author's life. Question for members; Is this book a common Edison book, for I want to sell. Does Phono-L accept 'for sale' emails or should we stick to sharing phonographic info? Thanks,,, Joan
