For the life of me, I can’t remember who asked about Bilmanis books.

The Bookstore has:

A HISTORY OF LATVIA: Dr. Alfred Bilmanis, 1951, Princeton University Press
as well as
LATVIA AS AN INDEPENDENT STATE, 1947, published by the Latvian Legation, Washington, DC.

Will offer both together. All proceeds support Saulaine. http://www.campsaulaine.com
