My books arrived a few days ago. Eileen in Minnesota -----Original Message----- From: banat-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:banat-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Dave Dreyer Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 11:42 AM To: Banat List; Steve Subject: Re: [BANAT-L] FB Deutsch Zerne Steve and Denise; Give it another week to 10 days. If you haven't received the books by that time I will contact Philipp Lung about the problem. It happens like this almost every time a set of books are published. Since they are coming surface mail I suspect that some of the books are put in different containers and some of the containers get delayed or some reason or another. This year we might be able to blame it on the big storm in the East. Anyway, get back to me in 8-10 days if the books don't show up.
