    Thanks so much! Another great item from one of my favorite sellers. Item just as described and arrived in perfect condition. US Games decks always packaged in nice and attractive sturdy boxes, not flimsy throw aways. Thanks so much WOB for offering gently used books, decks, etc., at such a great value. To find gently used items looking for a new home is one of my ways, not only to save money, but to recycle. Appreciate this seller very much :)

  • Vietnam Revealed

    A very perceptive insight to the ghosts that haunted the American effort to grow a democracy in South Vietnam. Corruption and entitlement amongst the Vietnamese overpowered the American dream of FREEDOM
