Dear Elaine, Sally, Marcus & Co.:

Thank you for the exquisite book! I was blown away when I opened it. No picture can do it justice. Thank you also for your care in wrapping and packaging it. I have never received a book that is so carefully and intelligently packaged.

I look forward to purchasing books from you in the future and to visit your store someday in lovely England. Thank you, again, for all of your time and attention.

Dear Naomi Ritchie

Thank you so much for sending me the book "Queer Horses and Queer People"; it arrived safely yesterday morning and I have already devoured half of it. I had completely forgotten that it was illustrated so that was a big bonus. Many thanks for your detective work on my behalf; I am eternally grateful. I have put your card in a safe place so that I can contact you again. Sadly, here in King's Lynn we no longer have a second hand book shop so you are a rare find!

Again, many thanks for your help and kindness.

Good Afternoon

Just wanted to acknowledge the safe receipt of the David Weston "My Bit of England" book which I ordered from you by telephone yesterday afternoon.

The volume is excellent in all respects and many thanks indeed for your prompt attention, secure packaging and rapid shipping of the order. I have now bookmarked your website for future reference and so hopefully we might very well be doing further business at some future date.

My thanks again and kind regards

Although I chose the slower international shipment, I got the book only 4 days after I entered my order. It was perfectly packaged and in a great shape. Thanks a lot for the lovely service and great book...

Hi Naomi,

Thank you for your email letting me known of the prompt dispatch of the four fishing books which I ordered from you via Abebooks. That was much appreciated.

The books arrived yesterday safe and sound. They will give me some great reading and make a welcome addition to my ever expanding fishing book library.

You have a very extensive fishing book section. Indeed it is one of the better ones that I have come across.

In the meantime, thank you for the wonderful service and all the best with your book business.

Regards

Tad

Yes, Naomi, they arrived several days ago. I've opened the outer packaging (that was quite an impressive packaging job!), but have not opened up the inner packaging. I'm just going to wrap it up for Christmas and leave it under the tree. Thank you very much for taking such good care of the shipping.

Jack

Just to confirm this book has arrived safely.
Many thanks for packing it so well.

I am so pleased to find this book - I have been looking for a copy for such a long time.
I used to have a copy when I was a child and it was an old and old-fashioned book then, but was one of my favourites. It was disposed of in error. I have looked in numerous antique books shops and done plenty of searches on the internet without success until now.

From your delighted customer,
Regards,
Marjory

Received with thanks. Superb packing, thank you.

Alison
