I’ve opted for a paper copy of the new edition\u00a0Evidence<\/a> Explained<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>While I realize the occasional ease with which an electronic copy can be used, I’m sticking with the hardbound traditional book format. The only drawback to getting a new edition is that my old one has handwritten notes all over it–things I want to remember, things I don’t quite understand, things I want to look into further, and the occasional item with which I don’t agree. I know that some people are hesitant to write in books, but I adapted the habit at some point in my college career and have stuck with it ever since. Some reference books like\u00a0 Evidence Explained<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>are meant to be used, not preserved like an archival copy.<\/p>\n

Some are intimidated by the size of the book-and the price isn’t exactly cheap. But it costs less than attending most seminars or workshops. Even just a careful reading of the first two chapters will give readers good food for thought even if they never publish one word of their genealogical research. Evidence Explained<\/a><\/em>\u00a0is about making your research better and the story you tell of your ancestors’ lives more accurate.<\/p>\n

We’ll be discussing the new edition of\u00a0 Evidence Explained<\/a>\u00a0<\/em> when it makes its merry way to my real world inbox.<\/p>\n
