Kennedy Reid has written a large book titled "The History Of Portmore." Because of my previous association with a certain soccer team, now defunct, I am on his mailing list.
The Jamaican Historical Society will present Reid and his book at a book signing/reading tomorrow (see below). You can preview the book at www.portmore.info. Reid runs that site. "History Of Portmore" has a list price of $39 USD or J$3600. Here is a copy of the e-mail I recieved:
