“I have just received the calendars I chose, featuring the places in Shropshire that my ancestors came from. The photos exceeded all expectations and bring to life the towns and streets where my ancestors were born, lived, married and worked. I can't wait to pass these gifts on to the family. Many thanks for the prompt delivery as well as these great calendars.”

“thank you so much. I placed this order as a fathers day present and after having read the timescales involved, fully expected the order to miss the fathers day deadline of sunday 18th June and realised this was my fault for leaving it to the last minute and was perfectly happy to explain to my father in law that his present would be a few days late. how happy was I when I rang him to explain this, when he told me that he had a parcel waiting on his doorstep for him when he returned from his holiday on the thursday!! I was amazed that you managed to get this wonderful present made and delivered within a matter of days and it was actually 3 days early for fathers day. thank you so much for your efforts and speediness.
a very grateful customer who will definitely recommend your services to friends and famil”

“I am delighted with the two books I've received, Whitby and Yorkshire and will get much pleasure from them. As children my brothers and I spent many happy hours on the Sands as they were called by that name in the 1930s - not the Beach as it is named today”

“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”

“….It was more than generous of you to send the correct print (which is now winging its way to my friend in Devon) and for me to keep the 'wrong one' complimentory. It is very much appreciated”

“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 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.”

“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”
“Great site, it has put me in touch with a couple of old school friends. Keep up the good work”

“ I was just searching for a photograph of a shop that my Grandfather and Father ran at 7 Bridge Street, Wye. Great to find one. My family ran the paper shop from 1962 until I think the Kettles took over. I can't be sure of the end date as both my Grandfather and father have now passed. I can remember living there as a young boy (from age of 4). I also remember the shop being flooded when the river broke it banks. I thought I would just share this with you. I have been back a number of times since and it is great to find your site”
