Publisher for granite industry book?
The granddaughter of an early stonecutting family from Westerly, RI,
is compiling a book on the Westerly Granite Industry during its heyday
(the latter 1800's and early 1900's). I had the pleasure of reading
through a portion of her work this past week -- quite a remarkable
endeavor with glorious photo accompaniment.
She has never published and needs leads for appropriate
publishers/next steps. If anyone can toss suggestions my way I will
forward them to her.
(The Westerly Granite Co. sculptors and cutters provided many of the
beautiful memorials in Gettysburg, among other places. My own great-
grandfather was also one of the carvers.)
Thanks!
