The Quotable Will Rogers

From Stevie Harrison, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia Please tell Mr. Carter that I got an A in American Literature class with my review of his book on sayings by Will Rogers. Both my parents enjoyed the book, and my teacher wants me to lend it to her. Do you have his other books for sale? Is Mr. Carter writing another book? Stevie Harrison and Rafael Calderòn.
