Dear Debra, Caroline and David Brass Family, I can't thank you enough for the exquisite volume of The Tempest. The book (as Caroline mentioned before in correspondence) is in top notch condition, and the plates and pages have been lovingly cared for over the years. Please know that I too will care for and treasure this volume that will no doubt, be loved and highly regarded in my small collection. I am so thrilled to have done business with you all, and I definitely hope to do so again in the future. It is clear you all care for books in handling and packing, treasuring them as much as I do. With my deepest thanks, RBD
