GDG- If I could only keep one!

[Linda J. Guy]

Yes, I was visiting my daughter in VA Beach and went to "BJ's" They had 
a two or three vol. set of all photo's. I love collecting the books on 
photography and photo's. Many in these volumes I have never seen in 
print were of soldiers etc. I didn't have the money to buy them (about 
$50 a vol) and have never seen this set anywhere since! As I remember 
they were like 500 pages each, real thick books. Maybe someday I will 
see them again. ;>)
