I like the way you used the space between main shelves and wall (above the heater) for taller shelves to accommodate folio-sized books. No wasted...
If you have family history in France, the Romano-Gallic secessionist empire of the third century AD has a rich numismatic history that is fun and...
I received an invoice May 14. Peter, are you certain your bid(s) succeeded?
