OXFORD – A local photographic history book, out of print for years, has been reissued.
“The Oxford Hills: Greenwood, Norway, Oxford, Paris, West Paris and Woodstock” is part of the nationally popular Images of America series published by Arcadia Publishing of Portsmouth, N.H.
The book, first published in 1995, was the first such local pictorial history book on the area compiled by local historians Jack and Diane Barnes. They have since published Images of America series books titled “The Lake Region,” “The Sebago Lake Area,” “Upper Saco River Valley” and “Maine Life at the Turn of the Century.”
The authors will be on hand for a book-signing from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 13, at Books-n-Things in Oxford. The book costs $19.99 and is available at area bookstores, independent retailers, online bookstores or at www.arcadiapublishing.com.
The Barneses borrowed from many archival and private collections to create the book, which features a cover photo of Woodsum’s Camp on Round Pond in Locke Mills around 1905. The 128-page book devotes about 20 pages each to each of the six towns.
With more than 2,000 books in print, most of them in the Images of America series, Arcadia Publishing has grown to be the largest local and regional history publisher in the United States.
