Seriously, what a great birthday this year!  I am resting after Steak and Lobster supper, happy with the national fireworks display in my honor, "Thanks President Biden!",  and having spent my Amazon gift card prezzie on lots of goodies!

  the book is "the Good Soldier Svejk" a famous humorous czech novel.  the coloring book of buildings is 50 european style houses (for ornrian cities).  roughly HO scale, great for xmas villages and wargames.  I have the second volume and it's really nice, so the first should be great too. minairons militia women are in metal, the garibaldian guys will make great "foreign" infantry.
