Terrell State Hospital Book Published

A gentleman named Benny Britton has published a book chronicling the history of Terrell State Hospital in Texas. Britton has been an employee of the hospital for forty-two years. Unfortunately, the book—which includes historic and current photos—does not appear to be available anywhere but at the hospital. If you’re in the Terrell area, there will be a book signing on Tuesday, June 9, 2009 at the state hospital Silver Star Cinema at 5:30PM where the book will be available for purchase. More information can be found in this article: Terrell State Hospital History Book Published. If I find out you can pick up the book online or in bookstores, I’ll post a follow-up.

    I live in Austin, TX. I really want a copy of Terrell State Hospital 1883-2008 by Benny Britton. My husband works for MHMR in Austin. He is an architect and oversees construction in State Hospitals. I saw a copy of this book and would very much like to purchase it for him for Christmas. Please help.
    Thank you.
