The book came and what a treasure, thank you! It was autographed on one of the early pages by the author, to the famous British writer Rebecca West. I like this author, James Milne, and am thrilled to have a book autographed by him, and to someone like Rebecca West, too! One never knows what one will find in an old book!

Hi. The Stringfellow book arrived today in the best packing we have ever seen for a mailed book. The condition of the book was very fine. Thank you, thank you, thank you - You are performing a needed and appreciated work in our society.
