We have the books we recommend on our shelves. We've read them and rated them. Those that have no rating are not bad books, we just haven't had a chance to read them. We carry some of these books in stock and ship directly to you. Others are from affiliate companies who sell the books for less than we could. In order to get them to you at the best possible price, you may have to put your purchase information in more than once, that is; once in our shopping cart for shipment of books from Oak Hill Country Store and once in the affiliate company's shopping cart, Amazon.com for example, so that they can ship to you. We'd like to apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
