Purnell's History of the Second World War Magazine Collection: 1-16

To us, and hopefully to you as well, a book isn?t a commodity, it?s an idea. Even more than an idea, it?s an embodiment of an idea in physical form. There?s a whole philosophical spiel we could get into, but I?ll save that for later. Suffice to say, welcome and stop by once in awhile, we might have something interesting four you! Also feel free to reach out if you have something to sell. We buy books all the time.
