Well, the one that I have I really like because of the information it
provides. It is HOW TO TRACE YOUR FAMILY TREE by American Genealogical
Research Institute Staff. Just to give you a sample of what it contains
here is the topics in the table of contents (by Chapter):

Chapter 1 Introduction
2 How to Organize Your Findings
3 History for Genealogists
4 You and Youor Family As Research Sources
5 Printed Sources
6 Local Records
7 State Records
8 Federal Government Research Sources
9 Miscellaneous Records - Churches, Cemeteries, Lodges, Etc.
10 Heraldry
11 Hereditary, Patriotic, and Genealogical Societies

The type is rather fine. The ISBN nuber is 0-385-09885-5 and it costs
$4.95 US and $5.95 Canada. It is copyright 1973.
