Just a quick thank you note. The Great Upheaval was tenderly packed. I can tell you love your profession as much as I love books. I'm reading it right now and enjoying the quiet of a new snow in New Mexico. Thanks, again!
Thank YOU sir! My Dad really wanted this book! My folks just bought a place in Spain, and I looked all over for this book! I'm so glad that I found it, can't wait to see his face on Christmas! Being that it's so old, he never thought he'd get one. Again, thank you!
