[Davy Bennett]

Really well done. Some great stuff in here.
I would not have paid $3.80, if not.

This is a compact size, but not too small.
Definitely not a monstrous coffee table book.
I am trying to ditch those.

From Warhol's MJ to Charles Cotesworth Pinckney who fought for South Carolina in the American Revolution.

Some excellent art.
