“Thank you very much for the excellent, prompt service and delivery of my order. It's a gift for my father's 94th birthday next month, hence the search for a photograph of somewhere in Plymouth (he was born there and always lived there) from the year 1925. I am sure he is going to be delighted with the gift; it's always so difficult to find something "different" for a gift when somebody has attained that age and has everything! Much appreciated.”

“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”

“Please accept my heartfelt thanks for dealing so efficiently with my pre-Christmas order and its complications. The prints arrived safely in good time and have proved to be excellent presents. Two octogenarian parents are normally very difficult to buy for at Christmas, but they are highly appreciative of the quality of the picturs and find the subject matter evocative of their childhood days. Thank you again”

I am a very satisfied customer
Happy New Year & thanks once again to everyone concerne”

“Just a note to say that the replacement picture arrived safely and without being bent in half! I really appreciate you sending a replacement and shall be letting the Post Office know that I found their response most unhelpful. Thank you again. It's so nice to find a company who care about their customers in this way”

“I posted a comment about how I was evacuated to Ystalyfera at the beginning of World War 11 (late 1930 ) and stayed with my aunt and uncle at Bryncelyn. Low and behold I have received a reply from the son of my long lost cousin, Conway Rees! They now live in Chicago USA and through the Francis Frith website we are now in contact after 60 years. I can't believe it and am eternally grateful for this opportunity”
