WorldCat Detailed Record
WorldCat - Detailed Record - I looked up the book M is for Mount Rushmore: a South Dakota alphabet. I learned the following: written by William Anderson (an author that writes about Laura Ingalls Wilder family) and illustrated by Cheryl Harness. It was printed in 2005 in English. It is for a juvenile audience. It is 24x29 cm. Published by Sleeping Bear Press - Chelsea, Michigan. I checked out the availability and saw that 342 Libraries worldwide had this particular book. 16 South Dakota libraries were listed. I finally got Northern State University to come up (others were not working properly). It stated that William Anderson wrote 8 other books. They were about Laura Ingalls Wilder country. I checked out the subject area for similar results. WorldCat came up with: South Dakota: an illustrated geography by Edward Patrick Hogan, South Dakota by Kathleen Thompson, and South Dakota consultant Olive S. Berg.

Thanks for your comments, BinchyFan. WorldCat is where to find materials worldwide, but even without ordering them on interlibrary loan, you can get quite a bit of information. Thanks for sharing your success here.
