Most of us did not live and shop in London but we have benefitted by the books you have published. Because you have been searching for hidden treasures, we can see a number of beads which otherwise may have fallen into the hands of those who would not recognize their place in history.

I believe you have searched for beads of possible value in London throughout your career -perhaps the past forty years. Shouldn't your readers consider the beautiful beads in your books to be representative of the best you have personally discovered as a buyer on a budget?

Fondly, Fred
