Best regards,

What fantastic work! The only slight curosity was the book "Pilgrims
Progress" by Bunyan That I think was mostly given away not sold and
might be one of them, but....You did the job. Thanks again,
McIsencraft  PS You are worth more than this small tip.

Thank you for your kind words, five stars and tip!
