Individuals who either live in the county or have roots there work together to produce the books. Each book is the product of local effort by a group of people, not the work of a professional author or remote publisher with no ties to the locality.
Because heritage books are limited-edition publications, they
appreciate in value from the date of publication. In many locations, the
books are highly sought-after by genealogists and historians.
Heritage books make excellent gifts for weddings, birthdays, holidays,
or other occasions where you want to give a timeless and valuable gift.
