Thank YOU sir! My Dad really wanted this book! My folks just bought a place in Spain, and I looked all over for this book! I'm so glad that I found it, can't wait to see his face on Christmas! Being that it's so old, he never thought he'd get one. Again, thank you!
Dear Sir, I received two autographed letters yesterday, much faster than I expected! I'm a fan of Anne Morrow Lindbergh and I happened to find this item when I was browsing her books... The letters look great and I'm very happy to read her own writing in my hand. Thank you very much for your great business.
