"Trenton's Jews:
Beginning, Adaptation and Achievin...":
I am a third generation Jew still living in Trenton. My grandparents Frank Perlstein ( Perelsztejn)and Mary Salzman met here after immigrating from Russian. Mt grandfather started a business in Trenton in 1908 which my father took over in 1949 and after my fathers death in 1986 I've been running ever since. We have done extensive searching and we go back many generations in Russia. I found out about your book through a customer that came in and chatted with me about it. I'm trying to change my schedule to be in the Trenton Library on 3/18/2017. Just purchased your book as well. Susan Perlstein Tavares |

Arthur,
Thank you very much. I really didn't know this existed. Interesting enough, my grandparents, Barney and Anna Zagnit are buried somewhere in downtown Trenton and I have been unable to locate them. Any help in that direction would be appreciated. Thanks
Bruce

Hi,
Art,
I
am pretty sure we made contact a while back. I did buy a copy of your
book, which I have enjoyed.
Two
items:
First,
I have written a two-page essay on the Millners and Vines of 1908 Trenton,
which I am sending to all of my Millner and Vine relatives. I am sure you
would be interested, so it is attached. It does refer to your book.
Second,
I have a tax client, Amy Sanders, who is 87 and recently published a memoir of
her childhood during World War II, escaping from Belgium. She published
it through Xlibris, and they took advantage of the contact, recently signing
her up for thousands of dollars of promotion. I convinced her to void the
contracted services but she desperately wants to publicize her book. It
struck me that you, local to the area and an author, might be able to give us
ideas on book groups that might want to hear from her. Frankly, one or
two might well be enough! I am doing this for her as a friend - no
charge. (If you are interested in her book an e-book version is available
through Xlibris for $3.99. It is Oriental Rugs, Ballet Slippers,
Rope Ladders and Pillows.) The book is, incidentally, extremely
well-written and engrossing.
Please
write back, even if you want to beg off giving advice on networking!
Yours,
Fred
Can you put me in touch with Fred who commented above? He mentioned the book "Oriental Rugs, Ballet Slippers, Rope Ladders and Pillows" by Amy Sanders. I have met Mrs. Sanders at Acorn Glen Assisted Living in Princeton and have had some wonderful conversations with her. I would love to obtain a copy of her book in any format (print or electronic) but have not been able to find any source online, including the publisher XLibris. I can be reached at johnfpotter@comcast.net. Thank you.
