Hi,
This book is from 2001.
I mostly mentioned the rejection here in case anyone was looking to read the
book. Admitedly this was a rough scan and my point wasn't to revisit the
different text qualities.
The book is likely of little interest to folks outside of those with some
interest in Wisconsin but for those it is somewhat interesting.

Hi, Kelly.
My library doesn't have this book. Is it new? Then they have to order it,
and that takes some time. They have a book called ODDBALL OHIO: A GUIDE...
just like yours, but obviously not yours, that's why I'm thinking yours
might be new.
Can you let me know?
Giggling and Honored,
Marilyn
