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.
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As a hopeful as yet unpublished writer, it was fantastic to see my name in print!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.

I felt I had to write to congratulate you on the production of such an excellent book…..I found the book of immense interest.
I have just received my order. I can not express how pleased I am with it, I absolutely love it.
The house in the photo is now my home which is currently being renovated, so to find a photo of it from years gone by is a fabulous find. Thank you so much. It will be displayed with much love in our living room. Kindest regards to you all.
