Great teen gift
This book was purchased for my granddaughter. I am very happy with the amount of information about each Saint included in this book! The pictures are very detailed and there are Saints listed that you do not normally find in books! I was impressed and I am very happy that I found this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
