Karen, I am very grateful for the book and the way (or how) it arrived.
Many Thanks, Pablo.
I received the Dick Bruna book Miffy's Birthday this week.
The packaging is adorable. Just perfect for our
granddaughter's 2nd birthday in August. I have a friend in
The Netherlands who just sent me pictures of her son on his
1st birthday with a Miffy cake.
Thanks for your good service. Ruth Marcon

I recently purchased a high end book set via the Internet, something I seldom do, especially at 3,000 miles. When I emailed the book shop, Horse Books Plus, asking for a more detailed description of the book, Karen Wild promptly emailed additional images (of all 3 volumes). I then called and spoke to her personally, asking for more information. Karen gathered up the books and went through each one to answer my questions, taking particular care to address her definition of the "flaws" of each volume. When the books arrived at my house, they were properly and safely packaged, which completed a very positive experience. This type of service can get no better.

Thank you so much for the careful packing of my book! I am so excited to have this treasure!
On July 11, 1983 my parents presented Dean's Mother Goose Rhymes to my sister as a "congratulations on being a big sister" present (or perhaps a consolation prize hehe). I always looked at this book and my dad taught both my sister and me lots of the rhymes. We grew up and my sister got to keep the book, (it was really hers afterall). Nearly 27 years later I FINALLY have my own copy! (AND it's in better shape than the one we had when I was a child.) THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Dear Karen,
Kindest thanks for offering this volume which holds a very special place in my heart. As I read the first few lines upon receipt this morning I was filled with marvelous reveries of childhood summer days of sunshine and reading in the grass and swing sets and fluffernutters by the pool and my lovely mother's face. Precious.
Endless thanks and all best wishes to a transplanted New Englander in VA,

Karen,
Received the book today.
I want to cry. It is so precious.
I felt the price was fair, given the condition of the book....and it is so lovely.
It is the most "loved" book in my collection. I felt it belonged to a sweet little lady who loved it very much. Those were my first feelings when I opened it. It had one, maybe two owners?
I just texted my mainline book expert person to tell him how excited I was
To have and touch it. So awesome.
I have always wanted this "one" book.
This is also why I love collecting books. Book people (most of them) are good, wonderful, honest and dear. Your email back to me confirmed this once again. And, now I have you as a new friend when I go hunting for a favorite.....and I only have about 7 that I put my faith in their word and item.
So thank you for that :-)
Thank you so much.

Dear Karen,
I received the books yesterday.
They are so lovely ! (with pretty wrapping!)
My friend loves hers as well.
The book condition are just great.
We thank you again and again.
My friend loves Roger Duvoisin's and
I like Bjorn Berg, Yevgeny Rachov, Feodor Rojankovsky and many other Russian artists.
Do you have Russian picture books ? (translated into English is better)
Thanks million for everything.
Warmest wishes,

Karen,
Let me tell you first that I order approximately (on the average) of
5-8 books a month, and have done so for the last 10 years or so. Yours is
one of the one's I will remember from now on. It was so beautifully
wrapped, that I felt like I had bought myself a gift instead of ordering a
book. Enclosing the bookmark and magnet was a stroke of genius. I am going
to keep your website in my "favorites" with my other booksellers, and you
can be sure that, from now on, I will be checking your website 1st!
til later,
Maggie Gascoigne
Karen, Book arrived this morning. Just want to say that I am really impressed with the service that I got from you. The package was well protected and I thought that the wrapping was absolutely smashing with the look of a personal touch. I would not hesitate to recommend your company to other people.

Dear Ms Wild, Thank you for sending my book Pioneers of Modern Design - Pevsner, and which has now arrived. I have to say that no matter how much I have spent on a book, I have never had one so delightfully wrapped - ribbon and quality paper - or had so much care taken. It was worth buying the book just for the experience, - turning a purchase into what feels like a gift!
Thank you. Best Wishes, Mark Goddard Kent, UK
THANK YOU, Karen.
You have been most helpful, and very flexible and willing.
I will keep the coupon and hope to work with you again.
Best,

Hi, Ms. Wild, Just wanted to let you know that I received the book today, about 15 hours after I had ordered it. It had been very well packaged and, of course, quickly shipped. Thank you so much for the OUTSTANDING service!

Just to say "thanks" from a satisfied customer.
I have now received in the post the book Robin the Rover
written and illustrated by Arthur Mansbridge. Your service
was first class from the time I found your website by doing
a "Google" on Arthur Mansbridge (who was my grandfather) and
then being able to talk for free from the UK using Skype.
Despite my grandfather being an illustrator of childrens books
for many years (1930s - 1950s) I had few of them but in recent
times have acquired some using the internet. But until I found
your website, I had not been able to match up 3 original illustrations
that I had of "Robin" on his travels. So now I can see the end product
of my grandfather's work.
Thanks! Martin Cearns - Essex, UK
Hi!
Just wanted to let you know an order I placed from you arrived today and I am pleased to death! I always LOVE opening packages, but when they are wrapped as pretty as this one was it even doubles the fun! Thank you VERY much for your care in getting orders out! And I LOVED the contents of the package, too - can hardly wait to sit down with a nice cup of coffee and start reading!
Thanks again and I wish you all the best!
