I'm losing my mind...hoping to find a copy of this book (any condition
as long as it is legible) that I can purchase for under $75.00.  I
need it for a long term research project.  The following catalog
detail is from the Library of Congress:

Author:        Roselli, Bruno. 
Title:         The Italians in colonial Florida; a repertory of
                  Italian families settled in Florida under the
Spanish
                  (1513-1762, 1784-1821) and British (1762-1784)
regimes; with
                  a brief historical outline, and an appendix on the
                  contemporary colonial press--
Published:     [Jacksonville, Fla., The Drew press, 1940]

Thanks very much for your efforts.  There's always the possibility
that the author/publisher didn't extend their copyright beyond the
then-standard 28 years, in which case it could be legally copied by an
on-demand publisher?

I gave this a shot, but didn't find anything.

There are some good tips for finding out-of-print books and lots of
resources on this site. I checked each of the pertinent websites
there.

Maybe another researcher has resources I don't. Good luck with your
search.

Hi cursichella,

I have researched your request as well and the book you are looking
for will be hard to find. I've contacted several bookstores in Florida
and have been told the publisher (Drew) was an office supply type
company that sometimes printed local interest type stuff which would
be scarce now.

I'm still waiting to hear from a few others and will let you know if I
have any better news.

Good luck,
hummer

In case you have problems finding a copy of this book for purchase,
did you also consider the possibility of borrowing it through
interlibrary loan service from a local public library or university
library, so that at least you would have access to it for your
research?

SINCERELY,
