Dear Caroline, I have just received my copy of Peer Gynt! It is in sound condition and is absolutely beautiful. I want to thank all of you at David Brass for this. I ordered it as a thank-you gift for a cherished acting professor who just directed a production of Peer Gynt... It will be from everyone in the cast. He's retiring after 30 years of teaching service, and I want you to know that this means a lot to us because it will be a very treasured parting gesture to him. Thank you so so much. JP
