A Change in Ordering for Safety's Sake West Orange Fire Department Centennial Album 1894-1994 by John Dandola Still in print. Direct from the author's private reserve. First and only edition; 104 pages; 8.5"x11" A formal history of the West Orange (New Jersey) Fire Department which includes the infamous 1914 fire at Thomas Edison's factory. Profusely illustrated with restored vintage photographs. Online descriptions are often erroneous. John Dandola is the SOLE author and copyright-holder; the involvement of the W.O.F.D. Centennial Committee was only that they asked him to undertake the book. $19.95 plus $4.50 S&H (via USPS Media Rate with tracking). This is the book which has been repeatedly plagiarized and has had its restored (and copyrighted) photographs repeatedly infringed uponall within the Town of West Orange, New Jersey! This sad set of affairs arises because those in power in the author's own hometown have never grasped the concept of common courtesy in asking permission to use someone else's intellectual and creative property. So far, it has cost one politician a lawsuit plus an election and cost a publishing company multiple lawsuits for trying to issue different editions of its West Orange local history book without removing the stolen contents. In the end, that publishing company finally just issued a different West Orange history by a different author which was even more poorly written than its predecessor. With West Orange's 150th Anniversary on the horizon, to safeguard against any new infringements, online sales of this book will only be through one of the publishers who assisted in putting it together. To order, whether using check or credit card, please first inquire at Sales@QuincannonGroup.com. The credit card process is quite simple, e-mail your order supplying your name and address then they will e-mail you an invoice with the link to pay with your credit card. The order is processed safely and securely just as in any other online payment. Meanwhile, although Greetings from West Orange, New Jersey is the perfect type of book for any town's history celebration, it will not be available in West Orange unless the town comes to a formal contractual agreement with the author for its use. Since it is the only accurate and chronological history of West Orange which explains things using clear precise terms accompanied by original maps and illustrations, it unfortunately also lends itself to even more infringement than the West Orange Fire Department history.

"History needs to be told as a story
and not get off on dead-end tangents. It is how West Orange's complex and often convoluted history has always needed to be told. [Dandola has] literally connected the dots from A to Z." West Orange Chronicle |
