Title: Book about Prizzi, Sicily
Post by: prizzi on Thursday 31 January 13 19:18 GMT (UK)

I am looking for the book, "Storia di Prizzi" by the author Andrea Milazzo.  Have not been able to find the book to purchase.  Any help would be appreciated.  It is a book about the the story of the city of Prizzi Sicily and its inhabitants.  It was published by Tumminelli in Palermo in 1959 and is 392 pages.

Hi,
the book is quite impossible to buy, also used.

In palermo it is available in some libraries, but often not to be borrowed, but only to be read in the halls.

Hi,
Have sent an e-mail to Tumminelli here in Italy.
They will check their archives and let me know if a copy can be found and purchased.

I ask you, please, if you get a positive answer, to give me Tumminelli reference and address, as I did not find it.
Thank you in advance
Roberto

Actually I went on the internet looking for the book.  I found Editore Tumminelli on Wilkipedia (in Italian) and it gives the history.  I googled " Editore Tumminelli" and came across the site below.  I presume it has changed hands and now is Treves, Treccani, Tumminelli.  On the web page at the bottom there is a request form to search for books(in Italian).  Sent e-mail and they will search and let me know.  I will let you know what their answer.  In the meantime going to check if it is available on e-books

Hope you'll have more success than I did. I've put a request on ABEBOOKS.com, and I'm still waiting.
