Wow! That is a pretty impressive selection of books Loren. Thanks for sharing them with us. You may just be getting an e-mail from me. I wouldn’t mind an autographed copy of the new
2007 edition of Mysterious America. That would be nice. Christmas is coming up. I’ll have to say something to the little woman. That book would make a nice stocking stuffer.
I will try to collect most of those books.
Some day.
