We have some books that have traveled the world to countries with fragile postal systems, yet without reaching their destination. After a year or more, the books have come back to us. Thus, they have not been used but they are weathered from long travel. If you wish, you can order these while they last.

Thinking of you, wishing you every joy,

Your Pine Knoll Family
