bruceD Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 It was a great paperback I use to read over and over, just wondered If anyone else read it and what they thought of it? Quote

Ras Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Never read that one but was just going to post an offer. I just finished Sagitarrius Rising by Cecil Lewis. Anyone in the USA (sorry you fellows across the sea) have a a book to trade? I love a good fiction based on at least some facts and have read a quite a few but there must be something I haven't read. Wew could just do an exchange. My book is paperback and all I would ask is that the book you send me wouldn't have pages falling out as it opens. So will wait to here either here or a PM. I won't be checking back on for a while but will take the first offer of a book that sounds interesting that Ii haven't read. Remember, I prefer fiction and not interested at all in the non fiction unless it has a LOT OF FLYING.. Thanks Quote
