But google "Belfor" and you will still get 118 results about Belfor, Clarke and Co! Your links about the Belfords don't show up; Blogger may not permit links in the Comments section.

The publisher imprint begins "Belford" but I suppose that's just a typographical error on the post or you would have been unlikely to find any references to the company.<br /><br />In recent years I have found Google Books to be a valuable tool for this kind of research. For example, here is a Publishers' Weekly memorial for one of the founders of the publisher:<br /><br /><a href="books.google.com/books?id=DMwxAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA1098" rel="nofollow">Alexander Belford</a><br /><br />And here is another PubW piece on the publisher going into bankruptcy:<br /><br /><a href="books.google.com/books?id=yPG7AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA568" rel="nofollow">Belford, Clarke</a><br /><br />I also use subscription databases like Ancestry, NewspaperArchive, and GenealogyBank to find genealogical and newspaper articles.<br /><br />All of these have been valuable in my research for the <i>Series Book Encyclopedia</i>.<br /><br />James Keelinekeelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006640946874012637noreply@blogger.com
