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As a hopeful as yet unpublished writer, it was fantastic to see my name in print!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.
Ann Martin (one very satisfied customer)

The book is great by the way just what I wanted & the inscription looks lovely. I've no doubt I'll be using your company again in the future.

Recently I received my copy of "I Remember When" (I had a friend send it to me) I am extremely satisfied with the quality of this book. I am also grateful to you for choosing some of my own contributions to include in this fine coffeetable book
I firmly believe that the Francis Frith Collection is a wonderful way for us to memorialise our living experiences for others to rerad.
Again Thank You for these opportunities.

I must apologize for the lateness of response but have only just finished reading said book which I found most informative. The quality of the photographs seems better than previous and the layout of the pages led seamlessly from one to another. All in all a thoroughly good read which leads me to quote some previous author who said, “the book to read is not the one that thinks for you but the one that makes you think.” Your books certainly make you think.

I received the Poster size Photograph of Abertillery this morning, I would like to say that is an excellent image. The quality and detail is wonderful.
Many thanks,

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 writing to ask you to pass on my sincere thanks to everyone concerned in my recent order of 7 photographs from the Around Bournemouth book. The package arrived a few days ago and I couldn't be more thrilled with it! The most important thing was how beautifully it was wrapped and it arrived in perfect condition. When I unwrapped the photographs I was so delighted with them and kept looking at them over and over again. Thank you for providing such wonderful photographs - I can't wait to give them to my family.

I came across your website quite by accident and wanted to contact you to thank you so much for such a wonderful site.
Having spent the best part of an hour viewing old photos of places I used to live, I cannot tell you what an invaluable tool you have created. Long may you continue to keep our beautiful country's history alive!
Thank you for allowing me to relive old memories, and to pass them on to my family, who are equally amazed and grateful.

The photo arrived here in A1 condition 3 days ago. It's even better than I expected it to be and I'm so impressed with the photography and the really fast and convenient transatlantic transaction. It has been a very good experience as well as a good example of British business procedures and courteous customer service at it's very best.The photo of my former home; the old Rectory that my children and grandchildren have never seen is a treasure. The photo is even more special to me as my father's church was razed years ago and the Rectory was remodeled beyond recognition at the same time. Thanks to your photographic skills it will all live forever for me and my family.

This is just to say how delighted I am with the order I placed with you - order placed Tuesday, and arrived before lunch today. Absolutely brilliant. Item was required as a present for a member of staff at the Library, and everyone seems extremely pleased with the item.

I just wanted to let you know my recipients were very happy with their calendars, and as a first-time customer, I was very happy with your service. Thanks!

Those lovely books arrived this afternoon and I am so happy! They were in perfect condition and very well packaged. I look forward to sharing them with lots of friends and family. If you ever need someone to 'put in a good word' for the excellent service of your business, please do not hesitate to ask me. Thank you very much.

Not really an enquiry but a tribute to your wonderful site. I just had to say how much I enjoy traveling back in time via such beautiful photography. Thank you so much and I hope that I am not out staying my welcome posting too many memories. Thanks again.

I would like to say that I have only just discovered your website, and think it is absolutely wonderful. I have recommended it to several of my friends. I found out some more wonders of your site, that you can send messages to other people who have left messages. I was delighted to send a message to a girl who lived in Shere at the same time as I did 60+ years ago, and who is now in Australia. I cannot praise your site highly enough. Do keep up the good work.

This is just a huge thank you for the impressive framed map I received yesterday. The recipient of this gift will be delighted I am sure. Thank you again for your great service.
Added 16th March 2011
Just wanted to say that I am extremely pleased with the framed print I ordered - it's lovely. The whole process was trouble-free so I wish to complement your team - you answered my query about delivery times promptly and accurately. I placed my order on Wednesday and I took delivery at 12.00 noon today (Friday).
An excellent picture and an excellent service. I shall certainly be placing future orders with you.
Thank you.

Re: 2 calendars you prepared for me containing pictures of Old Slapton, Dartmouth & Beesands in South Devon which I sent to two friends who live in Dartmouth. This is just to relay their great admiration and appreciation for their gifts. They were overwhelmed to see pictures of their childhood village, Slapton and to have a different one every month next year will bring back many happy memories. So, you see, not every email you get on this screen is a complaint. Well done and thank you for offering this item. I got a calendar for my parents last year with old pictures of Stanwell, Middlesex, where they were both born and they, too, were really happy and still haven't thrown it away. They just moved it to another place in the kitchen to make way for this year's 'ordinary' calendar. They are 84 and 85 years old.
Many thanks for making five people (including me!) very happy.

I just wanted to thank you for the prompt delivery of the calendar I ordered. I am really pleased with it and in fact a colleague was so impressed she has also placed an order.

I just wanted to thank you for sending through a replacement print. Your service cannot be faulted. It was so nice to receive the replacement with no hassle and in plenty of time for Christmas.
Many thanks once again and best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.

Thank you for my order, my mother will be very pleasantly surprised when she opens it on Christmas Day.Thanks again.

Thank you so much. I cannot recommend your customer service highly enough. I shall certainly continue to use you in the future, and encourage anyone else to do so as well.
Yours gratefully

Thank you so much for spotting my oversight & contacting me. The start date for this calendar order should definitely be January 2008. While I'm at it, I'd like to thank you & your team for offering such a unique and heartwarming gift item. I'm confident the recipient will enjoy many a fond memory of her beautiful birthplace.
Thanks again.
