Thanks for the email about the other Annette Eyre titles. I do have copies of those two books, but without dustjackets, and, of course, unsigned. And being the completist I am, you may very well find me ordering them from you some time soon, despite the fact that my book collection ranges over 3 rooms and is deplorably in need of additional shelving. In the meantime, many thanks for the book that is on its way to me, and I may well be ordering again in the near future. Kind regards ... Peter

Thank you, The book arrived safely and will be a welcome addition to our education and nature collections. Julia

DEAR MARK, JUST A QUICK NOTE TO THANK YOU FOR THE FAST FREDDIE BOOK. VERY QUICK DELIVERY AND IN MY OPINION THE BOOK WAS IN MUCH BETTER CONDITION THAN YOUR DESCRIPTION SUGGESTED. FANTASTIC, IT WILL MAKE A GREAT GIFT FOR MY FRIENDS 50TH BIRTHDAY AS HE IS A MASSIVE FREDDIE SPENCER FAN AND HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS BOOK FOR A WHILE BUT HAS ONLY FOUND THEM FOR SILLY MONEY (UP TO £335 !!!) FROM THE USA. MANY THANKS, NIC LOVELL


"That is a brilliant idea, and just the sort of thing which we were getting at in our New Paths feature. I will run your message as a letter in our next issue, if that is all right with you. All best wishes, Chris Peachment (Editor Book and Magazine Collector) "

Thank you so much for sending the book (The Silk Purse) so promptly.i am delighted with it, Caroline Cotton

You thought I'd be back huh? Well I just had to see if the first book was
everything as described, and as I said... it was :) Looking forward to
receiving your second book just as nice and it will be cared for just the
same. You're right, they will go nicely together. If anything special comes
your way, you have my e-mail. Always looking for GA Henty and Arthur Rackham books as well as Beatles goodies! Thank You Mark.  Looking forward to hearing from you.  Until then...Richard

This lovely book has arrived and I'm very grateful to you for adjusting the
postal costs - many thanks - Mary Leland

"Book arrived safe and sound this morning.

Thanks once again for the excellent service, best regards, Richard Toogood...."

"Received the next day. Thanks, Mark. Looks great, Richard Davies"

"Received my book today.  First time dealing with you but I hope far from last.  Great item, quickly despatched and A1 communication throughout.   Topclass service from start to finish   Highly recommended - thank you, Erica Ballard."
"Thanks for the fast shipping, I was impressed. If you are curious why I purchased this book, it was for two reasons. One : My grandfather William K. Huff co-wrote it and it was #14 of a limited edition. Two: The inscription was to Captain Charles W. R. Knight, world renowned expert on eagles and birds of prey, the author of very collectable books, "The Adventures of Mr. Ramshaw, The Eagle" and "All British Eagle" as well as a few National Geographic Magazine articles. Thanks again, Kim"

"This arrived this morning and I am pleased with its overall condition for the price paid-a good reading copy.Many thanks John Wickens"

"Thank you for sending these photos.  In the end I decided to buy a copy of the 2nd edition, but I am grateful to you for providing the information.  Incidentally, I found out that the clergyman was Charles P Chretien, a Fellow of one of the Oxford colleges (All Souls or Oriel, I can't remember) who had published a number of papers and at least one book on theological matters in the years preceding the publication of the Origin. Kind regards, Edward Benthall."

"Yep arrived safely and I LOVE it!!!

"Hello again. The books arrived - amazingly - yesterday. Picked them up from the post office today, and found them to be very nice copies indeed, very safely packaged. As you said, a bit of wear and tear on the DWs, but the books
themselves seem almost pristine. I'm very happy with them and with the
helpful service you've provided. Have a nice weekend. Best regards, Anita."
