Excellent book with excellent service September 16, 2008
Reviewer: Brian Wierzba from Menomonee Falls, WI United States  
This book is worth its weight in gold. Without having this guide, I would be lost translating or gathering information from Russian church records.

The Polish Art Center shipped this book the day after I placed the order. I then received it the day after. 2 day turnaround time!
