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.

Thank you very much for the parcel that arrived today! Everything is perfect. Special thanks for the very careful wrapping and packaging - it could not have been better. Best wishes
