So just discovered that an infamous family member has a book about them I can get through Abebooks for the low price of $350. Only nine in existence..

The book is about my great grandmother....I might have mentioned before but if not, she was up on murder charges for killing for great grandfather back in 1927. She was not convicted and the "handyman" went to jail for the murder. GGF owned a hotel at the time in what is now Scarborough in eastern Toronto.

If the only nine in existence is correct, I may have to see if I can buy it. It is definitely not a planned expense but I don't think this sort of thing comes up often.

You gotta get it, it's a family heirloom. -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 16, 13:20
I think that means there are only 9 copies in libraries. There may be even fewer in private circulation. -- nm - Roger More Apr 16, 13:00
that's pretty cool. I would strongly consider buying it. -- nm - Andie Apr 16, 12:12 1
