“Itong aklat ng Norzagaray ay ang kauna-unahang aklat na nailunsad at nailathala kaugnay sa kasaysayan ng Norzagaray, Bulacan. Mula noong 1860 hanggang sa kasalukuyan ay tinalakay natin dito ang mga mahahalagang pangyayari at kaganapan sa Bayan ng Norzagaray. Isang napakalaking oportunidad para sa ating lahat na masaksihan ang paglulunsad na ito lalo na’t higit kapiling natin ang tagapangulo ng Pambansang Komisyong Pangkasaysayan ng Pilipinas na silang nangunguna sa pagpo-promote ng mga lokal na kasaysayan sa ating kapuluan,” Corpuz said.

Prior to the book launching of the said historical book, Jaime Salvador Corpuz also published the “maBOTEng usapan: samu’t saring kuwentong BOTE” last February 22, 2023. The book featured stories that brought inspiration to the historically challenging times in Norzagaray.
