I appreciate the comment!!! It probably cost me about $75 of my time to post the darn book! Oh well, definitely not a good return on my investment!

 

I have to say that selling the Western MO collection has been well worth it though b/c I am reading just about every single SA copy!!! It's like returning to childhood again b/c I used to own most of these books myself as a kid!!!
