Rock Island County Historical Society Bookstore

The Rock Island County Historical Society Bookstore is one of the many ways the Society disseminates the history of Rock Island County. One hundred percent of the proceeds that our bookstore generates goes to the Society, as we are a non-profit organization and we receive no outside funding from any city, county, state, or federal government. The Society uses PayPal, a secure server for our bookstore transactions. Book orders will be mailed out approximately 2-5 days after payment is received. If you need your order expedited, or if you would like to have a book autographed by its author (if possible), please contact the Society at (309) 764-8590 for more information.

Please add a 3% convenience fee as a donation to your total to cover the 3% PayPal Surcharge fee that we charged for e-payment.
