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!
THANK YOU for the recent order you sent me! It arrived in perfect condition due to your excellent packing. The books are wonderful! Especially valued are the old Roman Catholic books with dust wrappers! Thanks so much.
