This is a troublesome site. The contact information is no longer valid (12/06/06). One phone number goes to a nice, but irritated, family man. I've tried to order from the site for a Christmas present for a friend who is a fan of Mr. el Sonbaty's. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to contact him nor heard anything about my order.
