A hard book to find,
By
This review is from: In Good Faith (Paperback)
I was reminded by a co-worker about this book. I spent a few days trying to find it. Once I went to Amazon.com is was easy. For a few dollars and five days I had this book in my hands. The book is old, but in pristine condition. I definately got a great deal on this.
