“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 am writing to let you know how delighted and impressed I am with my historic map of the above address. It has provided me with a fascinating insight into my local area and looks particularly delightful in its frame. Thank you very much”

“I placed an order early Monday afternoon July 3rd and received it this morning (July 5th) despite the order including a book with a personal message on the flyleaf.
Even though we paid for expedited delivery this is still incredibly quick service!
The way life seems to work is that people are very quick to complain but slow to say thank you.
The map and the book are exactly what I wanted and I am staggered as well as being impressed at the rapid turnaround of and completion of the order.
Suffice to say, thank you and I will have no hesitation in recommending Francis Frith to anybody looking for a special gift or historical memento”
“Hello everyone, Yesterday I received my second book on Andover. Today I received my book on Salisbury. Thank you for an excellent product and an excellent service! I will be ordering more books on the South of England in the near future. Take care, Chris”

“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 didn't thnk they would arrive in time for me to send to her for Xmas, but thanks to your excellent serivce, they arrived in plenty of time to include one in her parcel. They were very well packaged, too.
Thanks again, she will be thrilled when her calendars arrives!”

“I'd just like to say that I was pointed towards your website after issuing a 'help' plea to my colleagues. I have been hunting for old prints from photographs of a particular area for months........and you had the answer!! I've subsequently put in an order today and, subject to it being as good as your site leads me to believe, I may well be submitting more orders!! Thank you so much”

“Hello Andrea
Just a quick note to thank you and your team for your speedy and considerate service. I ordered a map print and explained to you that I really wanted it by this coming Friday as it is a special gift. You dealt with my order with the utmost professionalism and assured me it would be delivered by Friday. It came today. The print, the mount and the frame are exactly as I expected.
I am really impressed with your company’s service. Thank you.”
