Publications America's Genealogy Store |
| This service - Quintin's Local and Family History Centre - is an extensive collection of custom- produced genealogical books (family and town histories as well as all types of vital records) reprinted on demand for the amateur and professional genealogist. What makes this service unique is the fact that you have your choice of either printed version or electronic version (CD). All CD-ROMs produced by Quintin Publications are in PDF® format. Each CD-ROM contains actual page images of the book. Unless stated to the contrary they are not text searchable but if you will allow us some time we will OCR it for you for free. Each CD-ROM includes Acrobat Reader® which is the program needed to read these CD-ROMs. All CD-ROMs are both PC and MAC compatible. | ||||
| Some, but not all, of our CDs from Quintin's Local and Family History Centre can be made into fully searchable CD-ROMS. This is done on a case-by-case basis depending on the quality of the original scan. Using Adobe Acrobat's Paper Capture program we are able, in most cases, to attain an accuracy rate of 95%. The degree of accuracy is dependant on the quality of the printing of the original book. The "Capturing" process can take a bit of time so we ask for your patience. | ||||
| Quintin Publications makes every effort to create our products from the best available original. Some of our products are made from photocopies. Please note that some of the titles will have handwritten marginal notes which only serve to enhance the value of the book. In most cases these are present on the printed and electronic versions. In rare cases there are missing pages in the original books. We normally use our other sources to locate these pages and, when found, will either send you the missing pages or replace your product. The reproduction of photos depend entirely on how they were originally printed. Line drawings and maps usually reproduce well. Most of our products are scanned from original copies including color coats-of-arm. Others are scanned from photocopies, microfilm or microfiche of varying quality acceptable by most. We do not produce copies that are not readable. | ||||
Quintin's Local

| As a young boy I often thought of being
able to turn on the TV and read any or all the books in the Library of Congress!
Far fetched idea at best.... in 1955!! With the coming of computers and
advanced digital technology it is now not only possible but a reality. To
this end Quintin Publications has devoted
much time and effort. Because of our location we have access to some of the academic and genealogical world's best libraries. As a result we are able to continue to produce 100's of new CD-ROMs and custom photocopies each month. This program has succeeded so well we constantly have a 6 to 8 week backlog of orders. When this idea was first conceived we gave much thought as to how to make these items available through our website. Should be begin scanning books at random hoping that someone, someday would order one? Should we list as many books as possible, wait for an order and then process the book? We decided on the later as more cost efficient and allowing a greater number of products to be listed. Please keep in mind we do not physically have possession of all our listings. This listing you see is a combination of books that we have, or have access to through local libraries. If you are the first to order a particular book or CD it is probable that you will have a 6 to 8 week wait. If you are the second or subsequent person to order it you will not have to wait because the first person who ordered it has already done that for you! How do I know if this item is ready for immediate delivery? Books that have already been processed (as of 24 Sept 2007 - 10,174 genealogies and counting!) may be found are located on our parent site Quintin Publications. This database is updated weekly. |
||||
Since all of the titles offered through
Quintin's Local and Family History Centre
are custom produced for your order. If a title has not already been
processed (digitized by Quintin Publications [see above paragraph]) we ask
an average of 40 working days to fulfill each request. This time will allow
us to produce a quality assured product for you. CDs usually go out
within 3 working days and photo duplications usually in 10-12 days.

| Having had the benefit of a Catholic education ( all good nuns, no knuckle banging or terrorizing, no molestation etc) I was taught that there was a correct way to inquire (complain) about something and an incorrect way. I was told that it is always less offensive to begin your statement with something such as; "I think a mistake was made" or, "would it be possible for you to look into my order". This always gets our attention. We often get "WHERE IS MY BOOK, YOU CHARGED ME (of course, we never charge a card before the item is shipped but obviously the customer never read this page!) FOR IT AND I DON'T HAVE IT. THIS IS A SCAM" This is unkind and uncalled for. Please keep this in mind. | ||||
