I just want to congratulate you on getting my book to me two months ahead of the ABE projected date of delivery - thank you very much! It arrived on Monday 25th February instead of the 26th April - amazing! The book was carefully packaged and it reached me in excellent condition. Thanks again.
Howdy and Happy Fourth of July. Just want to let you know that the Dick Grace book came. A nice copy, as promised. Grace was quite a fellow: the only person I ever heard of who crashed planes for a living and died of old age. I was in The Argosy once, years ago, 1997 or so. Hope to get in again one of these days, but NYC is a long way from here. Thanks again for helping me out with this. Best
