Sue:

I bought my copies twenty-some years ago from Higginson Books in Salem.
I checked their website - home page
http://www.higginsonbooks.com/
and found in their catalog, http://www.higginsonbooks.com/b.htm#bro

"BROWN Genealogy; desc. of Thomas, John & Eleazor Brown, sons of Thomas
&
Mary (Newhall) Brown of Lynn, Ma., 1629-1915, by C.H. Brown. 618+611p.,
2
Vol. 1907. $81.50/vol."

As you may know, Higginson's books are nicely bound photocopies of old
books. The New England Historic Genealogical Society also
sells photo dupes, but I don't have my copy of their catalog handy.

The Brown Genealogies, like all out-of-print genealogies, are a bit
pricey. You may not need or want both volumes. If you wish, I
would be pleased to check my copies to see in which volumes specific
individuals are mentioned
