How is that Joan of Arc biography (from a Catholic perspective, that is)? I might have that added to the list, plus considering the size of the package for crossing the line.

I don't know if the author is Catholic or not, but from what I remember it's a very respectful biography.

I'm not sure how much your shipping will be, because the flat rate boxes are only for domestic shipments.

Sounds great. Let me know how much shipping will be, and we can PM each other for addresses (is cash alright to pay for shipping with?).

For those of you who have requested books, would you send me your address in a private message. I'm going to the post office in a few minutes, so if you're reading this now you might be able to catch me before you leave. I have Brother Adam's and the_rev's addresses, so I'll be sending those out today.

Man I didn't open this thread for such a long time and it is probably a good thing.
