A propos de cet article

Family-owned bookshop in Steubenville, Ohio: BookMarx Bookstore. Books shipped within 24 hours. Firm yet flexible paperback cover with flaps like a dust jacket. CLEAN!! No marks.

If there is any justice in the world, this book ought to become classic. What makes it so successful is that it is all done with smoke and mirrors, and it is done superbly. -- David McLaurin, The Tablet.…
