[or-roots] Palatine References

[Leslie Chapman]

I have managed to find two parts (? of 7?) of the Diffenderffer (say that real fast three times) writings as pdf format on Archive.org. 

I would caution anyone wanting to buy any of that to read the fine print. I have seen them for a little over $15 and one place you can buy a OCR reprint for more than $24. For those not aware of what that means, it probably means they stole the computer generated version of the book from Archive.org which you can obtain for free if so inclined. I prefer the pdf as the OCR version is usually unreadable.
