It should be o.k. I spent a lot of time on it and it
was perfect when I sent it in. The only things I've
just noticed is that the books listed in the title are
in the reverse order from what they should be and
there are no synopses. I have them ready, if Gustavo
will put them in, or if he will put the volume back on
the download list so I can put them in.
If you'd like and have time, maybe you could download
the book from the collection and check it out. If you
have children who haven't read the series I think
they's enjoy them--adults, too.
