I have a Hebrew edition of Realms of the Sea with DJ in very good condition. Copyright 1991. This is not one of the special edition series but is a very nice book. It is 91/2" x 11" and 1" thick. It reads from back to front. Let me know if you're interested. androot@mei.net

I have a 1966 Our Country's Presidents and a 1969 The Civil War. Are you interested in either of these?
