Books on PA History for Sale Online

From Diners to Disasters, Wars to Railroads, Buy at PAbookstore.com

HARRISBURG, Pa., April 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Scholars, researchers and
history buffs no longer need to visit the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum
Commission to buy books, magazines and videos. More than 400 books, magazines
and DVDs are now available at http://www.PAbookstore.com.

"The history of Pennsylvania is as exciting as any novel, as instructive as
any 'how to' book, and as intriguing as a mystery," said Barbara Franco,
executive director of the PHMC. "Whether you're doing scholarly research or
just enjoy a good read, the bookstore is an excellent place to start."

For instance, Diners of Pennsylvania, a book to keep in the car, features 300
classic diners across the state. The Knox Mine Disaster is more than history
of the 1959 accident. It draws on the recollections of miners and their
families, industry officials and individuals involved in the legal aftermath.

Soul Soldiers: African Americans and the VietnamEra looks at black life
through the eyes of veterans during the civil rights era. Railroads of
Pennsylvania: Fragments of the Past in Keystone Landscape is an account of
regional histories and rail stories of the people and events that shaped
history.

Franco said www.pabookstore.com is an attractive Web site that offers enhanced
search capabilities that make finding the right book quick and easy. Orders
can also be placed by mail or by phoning the bookstore at (800) 747-7790.
MasterCard and VISA are accepted.
