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”

“Just a note to say that the replacement picture arrived safely and without being bent in half! I really appreciate you sending a replacement and shall be letting the Post Office know that I found their response most unhelpful. Thank you again. It's so nice to find a company who care about their customers in this way”

“This book is a Christmas present from my grandchildren and has given me so much pleasure to read during my recent illness. Many of my relatives are still scattered around Devon….

“I was delighted to receive my parcel on Wednesday of this week, having taken only seven days in transit to Brisbane "down under".
So Thank you very much for your very prompt attention to my order.
The quality of the books is superb and my family and I look forward to many Happy hours reminiscing about the places we know and love so much.
I will definitely be ordering from you again”

“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”

Lovely quality for a photo taken 100 years ago
“Wasn't sure how good the quality from a 100 year old neg would be, but the photo exceeded my expectations. Mounting and frame looked nice quality as well. The perspex was hard to differentiate from glass, apart from weight, so was an acceptable alternative. Arrived in good time and well packed. All in all very pleased and would recommend”

“I have finally received my eagerly awaited copy of the book "I Remember When...". I was curious as to which story your company had published in the book. I was overwhelmed and astonished to see that you have published four of my stories, one of which is on Page 69. This entailed the story of the Majestic Cinema in Mitcham and my subsequent dream of going to the South Pacific. The pictures attached are in fact one of the islands I lived on for 14 years with my husband and two daughters - the youngest was born there and the eldest was 16 months when we arrived. We were there when Papua New Guinea became an Independent Nation and I have many experiences and memories of the island of New Britain - of course I have written these down - but are only for private publication. We left when my husband was murdered, but that is another story.
I continue to live in the Pacific and at the moment I am in Far North Queensland, Australia.
I will continue to write on your site on the different places I visited during my young years. I enjoy reading the book, it is very well presented, and learning of more experiences of the other writers in the book.
Thank you again for publishing my stories and I look forward to seeing another book published next year, whether it has any of my stories in it or not.
I would be grateful if you can forward my thanks to John M Buck”
