I really wanted to buy this book too...
Went to Amazon (one of the links)--chose a used-Good one. $2.49. One copy left...
Tried to fill out all the endless info--and it kept telling me that my e-address
and password did not match. Did this over and over--even tried to go in as
a new member. Thought that, maybe my earlier use of Amazon was so long
ago that i still had Earthlink....but was it "net'--or ". com" Neither was accepted..
Gave up--

Went to the other sellers (link #2)
Picked one I liked and filled out all the info....went to "my cart" and put in my
Credit card number...etc. Was told my CC was not valid...
Filled everything our two more times...same thing.... Gave up! Will try again later.

Now you know why i don't shop on line---always some kind of C--p.
Will get Aina to help me--she's a whiz at on-line shopping.. Will try later--one more time.
Can't spend hours doing this!

Here are my very faded books from my childhood. These were the Latvian translation.
Published in 1948. We were already 4 years into the refugee bit...
Good paper was hard to come by. All the books from those days look like this...
Faded, fragile, yellowed paper.

In 2007 when I had my second knee replacement and I had to lay n the couch a lot--
I got these out and started reading them again. Finished 2 of the 3 books.

Here are my 3 old books--they came out in 3 parts--small print, and between all of them--
it was 520 pages.
How can the English version books have only ONE book and 365 (?) pages???
