The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence was a marvel of art, architecture, and engineering. But it lacked a finishing ornament, a crown–a dome! The city fathers had a solution: to invite the finest masters to compete for the chance to design a dome. The rumors of this contest reached the ears of Filippo Brunelleschi, better known in Florence as Pippo the Fool. As soon as he heard about the contest, Pippo knew it was the chance he had been waiting for. “If I can win the contest, I will finally lose that nickname once and for all!”

I will definitely remember you when we need to purchase more Bibles. You've been a great help.

I just wanted to write and say THANK YOU! I received my latest order by UPS today. I have had shipments in the past that have been ruined because they were left out in the weather. But thanks to the way that you carefully wrap all the books in my order, even IF it would have been left out in the weather, my books would NOT be ruined!! Thank you for your conscientious care in shipping our materials!

The best thing about Bookshelf Central is that it saves a busy mom TIME! The ease of having the books I need systematically laid out by category keeps me from having to look here, there, and everywhere for books.
