Lucky You!
Ag.
You bought all that for 834?? Hmmm. Lucky you. While I paid almost the same price, for a paperback copy of "Love in the time of cholera" less than a week back :|
Also, what's the Quran like in English?
I haven't got around to reading it yet... have a lot of other books higher up in the list!
