Howdy…
First I want to thank everyone who visits and subscribes to Letters on Pages. I am having a lot of fun doing this and I hope you are getting some good book recommendations…or at the least somewhat entertained by my reviews.

Title: Everything They Had
Author: David Halberstam
Publisher: Hyperion (2008)
