To all members of the Facebook Social History group

There are over 2000 members of the group and you tell us that you enjoy seeing the pictures that we post.  We value your comments and feedback.  We have visited all the graveyards close to our home, and now have to travel a significant distance to find new gravestones of interest, which is becoming expensive.  We have calculated that each trip is now costing us about $75.00 and that each new discovery is costing us the profit from the sale of a single book.  

If all members show their appreciation of the time, money and effort that we put into our project by buying our book it will really help us to continue finding more interesting things to show you.

 

 

About the authors - Martin and Claire Nicholson own one of the largest archives of grave related photographs in the world. A selection of their work appears in the blog "Grave Mistakes" that has had over a quarter of a million hits since it was launched in 2013. Other examples appear in the Facebook group "Social History" where Martin acts as the group administrator.

 



The authors have viewed millions of gravestones, and are offering readers a selection of the rare and unusual gravestones that they have seen, with full-colour illustrations. Each category of type of gravestone, age of person, cause of death, rare names, and errors found on gravestones are given a points score to indicate rarity.
