You've got yourself one happy customer at this end, folks. I've been looking for another copy of "West of the Indus" for nearly twenty years (I know, it's such a cultural wasteland out here in the provinces), and I never expected to find one with a dust jacket. I am amazed. Thank you so much. I've enjoyed many books over the years, but this one has always been one of my favorites. Now if I can just figure out how to share it with my friends without losing it...
Hello You are not going to believe this but the book was delivered YESTERDAY - we were out so they came again today. That's what I call service!!!!!!!! Thanks for the careful packing - the book is lovely. Thanks again
