“I ordered a book with a personalised touch (from my youngest kids to their grandma). Having the option to personalise is one of the reasons I bought it. It was promptly delivered, no fuss, no delays. An absolutely beautiful pictorial historical account of my Mum's home town, which I am sure she will be delighted with.
Thank you very much Francis Frith”

“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”

“I am just writing to say how very please I was to receive my order this morning. 'Glorious Britian' (hardback) and Lincolnshire Living Memories (paperback) are to be given as a Christmas present to my stepfather and I'm sure he will be absolutely delighted. In particular the Glorious Britian book is superb - I just hope it won't look 'dog eared' by the time he receives it as it is very tempting to sit and read it myself before I hand it over! Excellent value for money, I will certainly recommend your website to friends and famil”

“To all at Francis Frith.I have just recieved my copy of 'I Remember When' which includes my entry about the Witch from my family's past (page 197, bottom right hand side).

As a hopeful as yet unpublished writer, it was fantastic to see my name in print! To know that other readers will see my own name has given me an enormous kick.

Also, the book itself is prooving to be a good read that I can pick up and put down at any time and I'll always find facinating stories, some of which have already brought back memories of my own.

My Dad is in hospital at the moment, so I'll be taking the book with me on my next visit to show him. He will be impressed with it too!

Thanks once again, all at Francis Frith for choosing to include my memory. I'll be using your site again to order very soon, and I'll sing your prais es to everyone I work with (whether they are interested or not)!

Best wishes.
