“I am writing to say Thank you because I have been so impressed with your service. Unfortunately, the first item arrived damaged. A straightforward telephone call to a friendly/helpful member of your staff and a replacement was sent within 10 days. I noticed that the title of the map had been incorrectly stated on the reprint. Once again a telephone call to a friendly/helpful person and I was clear as to how things would be resolved. Within 2 weeks a replacement has once again been received. And even yesterday evening somebody telephoned me to arrange the refund to my Account of the Carriage Charge. My experience of using your service has been excellent. Mistakes and problems happen in Business all the time, but when you have an excellent Customer Service Team who are keen to resolve matters to a customers complete satisfaction it makes such a difference. If other Business took the same attitude as yourselves towards Customer Service it would make such a difference to them. I will definitely be using you again. And most certainly recommending you to others”

Mug with a map!
“I ordered a mug with a 19th century map to be printed on it. I'm so pleased with the result! Great quality print, really clear. It's a gift for my Aussie cousin, we are both into family history and the map actually shows the tiny village where our ancestors lived. I would definitely recommend this service. Delivery was good and I was kept informed. Thank you Francis Frith”

“Got you from the Helpful Book Company and just wanted to say what a very nice website you have, I sent a couple of epostcards already and found it was easy to do, no doubt I will succumb to some paid-for items in due course!!! We live in France so this site could be useful ( and interesting) for presents................ Best wishes, Audre”

“I have just received my order. I can not express how pleased I am with it, I absolutely love it.
The house in the photo is now my home which is currently being renovated, so to find a photo of it from years gone by is a fabulous find. Thank you so much. It will be displayed with much love in our living room. Kindest regards to you all.”

“I posted a comment about how I was evacuated to Ystalyfera at the beginning of World War 11 (late 1930 ) and stayed with my aunt and uncle at Bryncelyn. Low and behold I have received a reply from the son of my long lost cousin, Conway Rees! They now live in Chicago USA and through the Francis Frith website we are now in contact after 60 years. I can't believe it and am eternally grateful for this opportunity”
