I've read my copy (bought w/a Christmas gift card)--and enjoyed it
thoroughly. If someone will send me an address I'll send it on to LVA!

Hello, again!
The Library of Virginia reference librarian suggests looking at --
Miscellaneous reel 1320-1323
APA 757
Free blacks records, 1833-1863
In responding to my query, William Luebke, reference librarian, passed on
truly appalling news. Due to budgetary problems, the LVA is unable to get
the book The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family. This is an
important book about an important chapter of Virginia history. Publishers
Weekly said -- "This is a scholar's book: serious, thick, complex. It's also
fascinating, wise and of the utmost importance. " If the LVA can't afford
such a book, we are truly in perilous times.
I hope LVA has it on a wish list to order when remainder copies are
available. If the LVA can't afford this book, what else is it missing out
on?
