Slm Abdul-Aleem,

Hope you're well?!

I'm ready to become a paying member of the LT community so I can add all my books to my catalogue!I'm just wondering what method of payment you used? Would the money order be the best option?

Thanks in advance!

Wslm,
Akeela

Since we don“t have much space I have for my books. I have also put this one away until later. I know the woman who wrote the doctor thesis. I still have 5 more boxes to catalogue and there should be more on Islam and middle east there. I see that you have got Copleston too. I just came across his work on philosophical history the other day. I got 10 of them at only $ 10. This was not the reprint, but the editions from 1949 and onward. They seem very good and extremely detailed. Only God knows if I get trough those nearly 3000 pages.
Hamid Algars essays on Wahhabism was very informative. It was good to understand what an salafist is and other definitions. Not the book that easily start a smalltalk though. There is quite a span in the books. Having hard crunching the meaning of the rather short texts in "I and thou"? Then you should have look at another jewish philosopher. Emanuel Levinas, You might have it but not showing in or matches.
