The box just arrived on my front porch! I had been following the confirmation # for the past couple of weeks and noticed a week or so ago that it made it all the way to NJ but then for some reason was sent back to WA! Well it's safe with me now, and the box is in good shape considering all the traveling it did. I am going to enjoy looking through these books, thanks.
