Reproduction of old material

This was a total waste of my money. This is not a new book about the history of Rumford, ME but instead it is photocopies of older works from the 1800's. The print is very small and difficult to read. I was hoping that the book would tell about the lives of the people of Rumford, but instead it is basically historical documents from the town that has been photocopied into a book form. Some of the pages are just lists of names from the 1800's. The book starts off giving the exact location of Rumford, longitude & latitude, and tells what towns are around Rumford. While it's nice for people who do not live in, or around, Rumford to know the location of the place, I'm sure that only people who know of Rumford would ever buy this book. So spending time describing where the town is, is a waste of time.
