Reviews

  • I am very excited about reading this book to understand my family history better!

  • Disappointed - the bottom of many of the pages are stained orange/brown, which, in my opinion does not constitute "very good."

  • Like it which is why I bought it.

  • I love true story and not his-story!!!

  • Prompt delivery. Product as advertised. No problems.
