The rain gutters are always full of leaves from oak & maple trees...

    Hi If you would like to PM me on this you can. But first off What shape are the two in? anything torn or mutilated at ALL? If in perfect condition I can only pay about $20 a piece. As I just bought 20 78-79 issues for $30 total online two weeks ago I am sure to find the two individual...

    Cichlid book

    Thanks for the Big als I hadn't thought of them... I actually added the shipping into the cost since it does cost 8.99 for shipping from Foster and Smiths but big als only costs 6.95 for shipping for $35.00 or under in costs. They are about the same price. Both do beat the pants off eBay and...
