';Getting the Most....'; printed manual

Post by ptll2 » 06 Oct 2009 08:59

Hi, It is great that the manual for V4 is now available in printed form, but I see that the version recommended by FH Bulletin is printed by LULU in the USA, and they do not guarantee the order unless one chooses the 'Trackable' delivery option, which adds £10 or so to the ordinary postage.
This is not normal for book delivery. I was about to order it but decided not to go ahead.  Are there any UK suppliers with better policies please?
Thanks.

The books are printed in the UK (or at least Europe) not in the States. See

If you want to order some where else, try My History (link at the top of this page)

Hi Tim,
I bought my copy from S & N in Salisbury -> http://www.genealogysupplies.com/

I don't have a personal link with them other than experience of having had very good service and help when I lost part of a delivery . . . .

Hi Bilko,

Could you confirm that it is a book from S&N genealogy suppliers. On TWR Computing they appear to do a 4 ring binder version.
Thank you.

I quote from their website ->

Getting The Most From Family Historian V4 (Heavy Item)
This is the printed version of the full manual for Family Historian V4. Contains nearly 200 pages illustrated in colour and thermal bound for a durable, flexible, quality finish.
No. of Pages: 199
This is a heavy item so postage will be increased if it is to be shipped outside the UK.


It is as described and very useful too.

Bilko [grin]

Both S&N and My History produce the printed versions of the Manual themselves hence the formats are different.

Thank you Bilko and Jane for your replies, now to decide which format to buy.[confused]
