I heard there was a book out based on children's stories of living with lyme printed in the 1970's. Does anyone know where I can buy a copy of this?

I don't have one.. but MAY know someone who is really really old who might.

I'll send her this link and hope she has one.. and doesn't shoot me for the comment.

[lol]

Will let you know if I hear back.

Contact the Library of Congress. They have record of every book ever printed with a copyright. You might at least find the title, author and IBSN number to propel your search:

Does anyone know the name of this book?

You should not have to have the title for someone to search for it at the Library of Congress. A title helps but is not always necessary.

But, were they not able to help you? If not, there may be other researchers elsewhere who love this hunt. You'd find them through some library sites.

My really OLD friend (she is gonna boot me from here to California for saying that)...

Pointed out and reminded me that Lyme wasn't named till the late 1970's.

If a book was written that far back about Lyme we don't have a clue about it ... sorry.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head... that might know of such a book if it exists .... is Polly Murray. You may be able to do a search and locate her?

Sorry not any help for you... but we did try.
