Mississippi County Books


The following is a list of books available for Mississippi counties. When possible I have included ordering infomation. All of the information that I have is listed. I do not own any of these books. If you have further information on any of the books or if you know of a book not listed, please email me. I am also looking for volunteers who are willing to do reasonable lookups.

Guidelines for requesting a lookup:

Volunteers are listed with a book if a volunteer is available.

Remember that the volunteers have graciously offered their time and this service will be removed if it is abused.

In the subject line place the title of the book.

Limit lookup requests to one per week and one name per email.

This list includes some books that are related to several counties or Mississippi in general.
