. A remarkable number of them responded and she compiled these first person accounts in a large book (927 Pages). The book has been out of print for many years and sold on the rare book market for about $450.00

In 1986 Morningside Bookshop reprinted this book. The reprints are now out of print. But Morningside Bookshop has planned to release another reprint on October 15, 1999- see Morningside Catalogue 47 under the "y's"
