Paris is burning
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Hmmm. Is there something burning? I seem to be smelling flames here. I found this book after reading the author's "Domain" book, and found both to be charming. Reader criticisms of books are extremely useful; personal vendettas against authors aren't.
Quirky, Fun and Useful!
