ateolf: I've removed the out-of-stock books and have finished with Chess Story and The Autobiography of Malcolm X, which are both currently in stock and are hopefully both good fits as far as his interest in history goes! (Dec 3, 2023, 10:19am)
ateolf: I've added Chess Story by Stefan Zweig. Still trying to think of another one as I know I initially was over by $2, but now those books are not in stock anyway. So far what I'm coming up with that I think will be a good fit is not turning out to be in stock. But I think Chess Story will be good and as of right now it definitely is in stock. Still trying for one more now. (Dec 3, 2023, 10:04am)
