I am pleased to inform you that I received the book in good conditions and properly reflecting your description.Thanks for your letter and professional cooperation much appreciated.

Alberto, Italy

My request to Rooke Books was met with professionalism far beyond anything I could have ever expected and the volumes sent to me for my consideration were perfect in every respect.  I eventually landed on a book which was shipped immediately, arrived in perfect condition and allowed me to present a unique and very special gift to my daughter on her 18th birthday.  She was stunned when she opened the present and saw the book.

John, USA
