Sarah,
There is a copy of Tourjour Provence in our bookstore.
I noticed it on the download list, but I think it was
submitted fairly recently, no? I thought I'd take it
if no one else did after I did a few other books, but
if no one is going to take it I will. Do you want it
quickly? The other books I have there is no hurry for,
so if you want it I'll take it and do it when I finish
Ray Charles, and get my Christmas cards out and my
presents wrapped.
