Matthew has made lasting contributions to our nation with his research and publications. His latest book….”The Armenians Highlands……” should be in every home as an educational tool for adults and their children. “We can’t save our churches if we don’t know where they are located”. Great comment….everything starts with knowledge.
Wasn’t able to order Karanian’s latest book. I DO NOT HAVE and DO NOT WANT to pay by Pen Pal. Very frustrating. Don’t you take other credit cards?
Hi Margaret, thank you for your interest in The Armenian Highland. The publisher’s website http://www.HistoricArmeniaBook.com accepts all major credit cards. The merchant that processes the credit cards is Pay Pal. But you do not need a Pay Pal account. All you need is a major credit card such as Visa or MasterCard.
I have Matthew Karanian’s book, Historic Armenia – After 100 Years. It is a beautiful book and highly recommend having it in your library. I visited several of the spots he photographed. I am looking forward to owning “The Armenian Highlands”, A touchstone to the past. We are fortunate to have Matthew and thank him for his dedication.
