Holiday Discount on Books at the Historical Society November 2009 The Publications Committee of the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society announces a special holiday discount on books purchased directly through Society. From now until December 25, all titles sold through the DRHS will be 25% off. This includes Duxbury Past and Present, the Society’s latest publication, a hard-cover, full color book that contrasts 75 historic views of Duxbury with 75 present-day views of the same locations. Co-authored by Patrick Browne and Norman Forgit, the book won an honorable mention in the New England Museum Association’s publications competition and spent many weeks on the Patriot Ledger’s best seller list. Duxbury Past and Present, which typically sells for $40, will be available through the DRHS for $30 until Christmas. Books may be purchased at the headquarters of the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society at the Nathaniel Winsor, Jr. House, 479 Washington Street (open Monday-Friday, 9-4) and at the Drew Archival Library, 147 St. George Street (open Monday-Friday, 9-1). The Nathaniel Winsor, Jr. House will also be open as a stop on the “Holly Days” tour, sponsored by the Duxbury Business Association, which will take place on Sunday, November 29, from 12 to 4. The books will also be available during the Society’s “Christmas at the King Caesar House,” Saturday, December 12 from 12-6 and Sunday, December 13 from 12-4. The Publications Committee of the Society is committed to publishing works illuminating Duxbury’s past. Over the years, the Society has independently published 16 books or pamphlets on Duxbury history. For more information, contact the Society at 781-934-6106.# |
