Cool find, Rabu!

 

How much for ordering from the states?

 

I look forward to hearing your review of the article.

With postage it was around $15.. expensive, but worth every penny. I ordered it back in mid June and just got it yesterday. When I didn't get it by mid August I emailed them and they immediately emailed me back and sent another one... apparently the first one got stolen by some WWI fenatic working in a post office.. no doubt!

Thanks, CP, I just embeleshed an old engraving that I liked. I think it was an ad for one of the early aerial photographers.

Hmm, $15 isn't too bad--especially when it is loaded with all those articles.

 

Stolen by a WWI fanatic?? Is there no honor anymore? :grin:
