this is one of my favorite books of all time - being from the south makes it even better. the service that alibris tenders could not have been better. this is a wonderful place to find out-of-print books. i have given away tons books that i later miss and thought i could never get again - but alibris has now made it possible for me to retrieve many lost books. thank you - thank you!!!!
