What can I say, but thank you, thank you, thank you, for having this website. My husband is ecstatic with all the Nevil Shute books I have ordered from your site so far. He has been looking for them so long and is now perfectly happy and content every time I purchase one for him. The books are in excellent condition, are affordable, and most of all, enjoyed!!! His bookcase is beginning to overflow. He reads them over and over again until I purchase another one. Thanks again for making us both so happy.
