I've heard about that somewhere, haven't got it in my hands yet but will do it sometime.

Cheers

 

I should get that one too.
There was a review somewhere and it is promising 8)

 

Not to sound like a shill, but I am an authorized book seller for Aberjona Press. I'm even listed on their website!

If you flat out can't find the books overseas, then contact me. I can't help with the postage, but I can give you a slight discount on the book.

 

I looked a website of Aberjona Press. They should do some shopping cart that accepts paypal etc..
But price for that book ain't that hard, I will order one in two weeks.

 

Higge, you'll save a few bucks if you do it through me. However, I will mention the paypal/shopping cart angle to Patti! Good idea!

 

Ok Tom. We have a deal.

I'll wait for my paycheck (wife doesn't need to know) and I will send you a message. It will be nice to read the other opinion and not just finnish writers.

 

Well, Aberjona has two books on Nord, though Seven Days concentrates more on Wingen-sur-Moder. I will also point you towards another Nord memoir, if you can read German.

 

No no, not in german. I can read it but I understand it very little

 

here ya go Higge =)
