Many thanks for all the beautiful Frith prints we have received from you in the last 12 months. Five were for our Golden Wedding August 28th & this last order is for Christmas - thank you again for agreeing to send me the correct frame for the map which is wonderful. Also thank-you for the free book & for the Free address book. Gladys Harrison.
The calendar is beautiful and very much appreciated by the recipient. It is a unique and personal gift to give. Thank you!

Just a big thnk you for my gorgeous framed picture I recevied so quickly from your compnay. I adore it! So glad I've found your site.
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.
