I cannot make more as I created it on CostcoPhotoCenter and when they changed companies my projects created on their site were not downloadable or transferable.
The images here are screenshots CostcoPhotoCenter.com where I created the book so they are small and will be blurry if you enlarge them. HOWEVER, I scanned the completed book in January 2024 at the request of a family member who wanted copies. This is acceptable and can be downloaded Children of Mary Gannam Saraf Beecher.

Christmas Greetings From Philip J. Saraf compiled by Kim Marie Fischer Peters. This was created on CostcoPhotoCenter too, so I cannot make more. *NOTE: 1st edition has error on last page. Philip worked in Athens NOT Augusta as reported in the article about him published in the Southern Cross.If you find a copy that has "Augusta," please mark through and write in "Athens". The author of the poem about Philip is Kathleen Littlejohn.The images here are screenshots from CostcoPhotoCenter.com when I created the book, so they are small and will be blurry if you enlarge them. HOWEVER, I scanned the completed book in January 2024 at the request of a family member who wanted copies. This acceptable and can be downloaded Christmas Greetings From Philip J. Saraf.
