WILD RELEASE NOTES:
I was recently in this Starbucks store and I did a quick inventory of the books in their "lending library". This book is no longer in the store.
I love David McCullough’s books. I bought it on eBay a while back and finally read it. Nice little book about Christmastime 1941. I’ll put it in a nearby “Little Library” and hopefully peeps will update it’s travels.
