So many tattered Stainless Steel Rat books in my shelves…my daughter read her first over the summer and shared it with her friends…Harry will definitely live on in our home and hearts.

Yeh, when my son is of age, Harry will be some of the first I’ll give to him. My dad passed on his tattered Stainless Steel Rat book to me, and so it will go on. Harry will be remembered (and read) by generations.
