  • Book Historia: Wonderful Interview!

    What a fascinating interview with such a pleasant, articulate and very interesting guest. Allie Alvis has such a beautiful way of making the study of “old books” so much fun to learn about. I loved your questions and your interviewing style is so genuinely friendly and engaging. After this podcast, I am now a subscriber! Keep up the wonderful work...
