In the 1980's, he started ''Bibles, etc.''. In recent years, they have assisted in republishing and distributing rare PB works, including ''... especially the parchments''' (see [http://www.bibles-etc.com/new_books.html New Books section], produced by Saville Street Distribution at Walton-on-the-Naze in England, which produces a periodical known as ''Golden Nuggets'' under the direction of Edwin O.P.
