I acquired two from Bill, including the one out of print one. My hope is to round out the collection by the end of next year.....amazing books.

Nice Ed! Glad you picked it up... :D Yes I acted quick to acquire them. Anything from Bill's collection would be a prize catch.... :D Paco landed the third book.

Yeah they are steep.....I am going to ask if the three equal payments options applies to all of the books in the series.

I have copy 402/1100 of Napoleon's Apogee. Because of size and weight I had to pay a hefty price for P&P, in addition to an already steep cover price. On top of that, the customs department found me, so in the end I could have bought a second-hand car for it. But... it is totally worth it. I cannot count the number of times I took it in my hands, whispering "my precious" while stroking its leather cover. :frenchroll:
