Once again, RIGS has new copies of Mallet & Chisel, the classic work on New England grave carving by Vincent Luti. A limited number of books have been printed with improved photos and paper, otherwise identical to the 2002 publication. It is being offered for sale by the Rhode Island Genealogical Society for $60. We had some in 2024 and they sold out very fast. Use this link to order your copy-
