Ah, pleasure Rose! I'd say that John speaks of you all the time, but frankly John and I haven't spoken in some time. He was here while I was still figuring things out across the Pond after all.
Though I'm certain he would have spoken of you at length, he does rather love his friends a great deal.
Still, yes thank you! And Wotcher, eh? I take it you're not from the Colonies yourself.
And yes, this purchase is still pretty uncommon for me. I do like to travel and hunt down rare books, but generally speaking these 'rare' books are only rare because they're no longer in print, and you can find them for reasonable prices around the globe. This one, well, this was a particular exception.
