Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Whether it's needlepoint or woodworking, collecting stamps or dolls, everyone has a hobby, or is told they need one.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The trading, selling, and buying of personal transport has changed little over the past one hundred years. Whether horse trading in the early twentieth century or car buying today, haggling over prices has been the common practice of buyers and sellers alike.
