O carte excelenta. Foarte bogata in informatii. Categoric o biografie completa a Amaliei Earhart. Va incurajez sa o cumparati cu incredere. Cartea a fost livrata la timp. Ma bucur enorm de mult ca exista in Romania un astfel de site, deoarece poti gasi o sumedenie de carti pe care nu le gasesti in tara. Books Express, va multumesc ca existati. :D
