Customer Reviews

Texas Sampler

As a native Texan, I had ordered this book for my two grandchildren but since neither of them could read, I flipped thru it and found myself reading it. The service that I got from the seller was impeccable and I received the book even before I began to expect it. It is great condition and I would highly recommend this seller to anyone who is buying books.
