the maps. It arrived with plenty of time to spare and was well packaged. Thanks again, G.R.

Thanks for the 2 cd's I received recently. The delivery was quick and well packaged. The quality of the reproductions is fantastic, and they are very easy to navigate around.
I am very impressed by the fact that I now have such detailed information without having to have the actual books. A big 'thank you'from me.
13/01/08
I am absolutely delighted with the CD and It's better than I would have expected by the description. I am a volunteer at a local museum and data you have supplied will help me immensly. Once again. Thank you very much. A very satisfied customer. FB.

Thank you for the prompt service! I received the CD rom on the history of Haddlesey and am thrilled with the quality and information provided.
Although I haven't yet read the whole 'book' it's so interesting to read about the history of the village where my family lived. Many thanks, F.B.

Many thanks for the excellent CD Roms for both Todmorden & district and the Keighley books.
Both have been quite helpful in research. The history of Stanbury (Keighley) was particularly of interest
with mentions of several families of my ancestors!! R.L.
24/10/07
Just received "Speight's, Bogg's and Wheater's - Lower Wharfedale" CD. Excellent quality and lots
of stuff I'd never come across before. Very highly recommended. Thank you! S.W.
25/9/07
Now had some time to look through the CD and found it very interesting as some of my relations
are mentioned in the book and I have gleaned quite a bit of extra information. The old map is
useful as well as because it names quite a few areas that would be difficult to find today but
could have been mentioned in past censuses. The quality is excellent and it all runs very smoothly
so congratulations to you!
I am now aiming to track down some old photographs of Thornton le Dale and the surrounding area.
Thanks for your prompt service and quality goods. I shall not hesitate to recommend you to other people.
L.G.

Thank you and Cheers, P.C. (Texas)

The CD J.Horsfall Turner's "Halifax Families" etc is superb. The quality of all three items on the CD is incredible.
The quality of reproduction and ease of reading the text is probably better than the originals.
The CD arrived in excellent condition, 2 days after placing the order.
Your service is of the same high quality as your products. I will certainly be placing another order with you. C.M.
16/08/07
All 3 CDs arrived extremely quickly and efficiently and, although I have only
had a chance to scan them briefly, it looks as though they will be invaluable
to my family history research. Altogether a very successful transaction, executed
extremely efficiently. Thank you. I look forward to dealing with you again before too long.
24/7/07
Colin, What a fantastic afternoon I have had since the arrival of the CD Roms
this morning. It is fantastic and full of information about families I have
been researching over the last forty years. I have only looked at Bolton &
Bowling up to now but have found the reproduction first class so thank you, S.H.
23/6/07
Received your CD book on thursday, good quality and fast postage many thanks

Many thanks for Walkers Wakefield. I have always wanted this book

I can't wait for the time to read it. M.G.
12/6/07
The CD duly arrived yesterday, many thanks for the prompt despatch.
I have only dipped into it so far to find it is just what I needed.
Good clear images. S.K.
12/5/07
Received Speight on CD: thanks v. much: loved it: it's great being about to search the PDF
rather than wander haphazardly through a 500-page volume! A.G.
14/5/07
My daughter bought me the 'Sedbergh Garsdale and Dent' book for my birthday and it is EXCELLENT -
just what I wanted and very easy to navigate. I will be checking your site for any new additions
on a regular basis. S.M.

Many thanks for CD which arrived this morning. Excellent service and excellent product - again.
Much more info: as to who has got my six oxgangs and owes me millions of pounds in rent!! M.N.

May I just say how delighted I am with the CD ROM of Ralph Thoresby's Ducatus Leodiensis.
I have found it very easy to use and invaluable for the research I have been undertaking over past few months.
I have recommended wholeheartedly it to a number of people in the area. Thank you again, M.P.
10/4/07
I've found morley ancient & modern not only first class value but also an insight into my place
of birth that I am fascinated to be able to explore thanks to your efforts. M.S.

Many thanks and congratulations to you on such a splendid job. N.A.

to be able to have access and read such old books. Will be looking out for other CDs from
you in the future. Good doing business with you. Many thanks S.M.

Dear Colin
Just to let you know that the CD of the Sedbergh books arrived a few
weeks ago. They are excellently produced and extremely useful research
aids, enhanced by the chapter links and full searchability. What is
more, they are great value, at a fraction of the price it would cost me
to purchase the books second hand. J.D.
16/2/07
Have just received a copy of 'History and Antiquities of Hemingborough' in the post and
just had to write to let you know how pleased we are. It arrived just 48 hours after
making the order and the reproduction is perfect. The 'search' facility makes it of more
use to the family researcher than the original. We have found a host of references to our
family which has made their history come to life for us. Thank you again. M.R.
11/2/07
Excellent. Fast service, good communication. Look forward to going through the Smith
of Doncaster CD in depth. Thanks J.H.
7/2/07
Thanks for another two excellent CD-ROMs, Colin. Beautifully produced as ever, with great
attention to detail and thoughtfulness for the user, they are fascinating even for the
casual reader. If you have family who come from the places concerned, they are
invaluable! Having tried to scan old books in the past, I know how difficult it
can be to get a nice flat image - but how essential for comfortable reading. Your
CDs are perfect for the job. IR

I just wanted to say thanks for the good work on the "History of Wakefield" CD.
It is excellent - very good quality and easy to read. I'm delighted with the CD
and wouldn't hesitate to come back. SW.
31/1/07
The quality of these CD-ROMs is amazing, considering the age of the books used.
The text is clear and readable, and the illustrations are beautifully fresh. The
added extras - maps etc - are completely relevant and useful additions, and helpful
if the reader's grasp of Yorkshire geography is a little woolly. IR
22/1/07
Many thanks for the CDs very useful and interesting! WJ (Monaco)
18/1/07
Dear Colin,
I sent for two of your CDs before Christmas but have only recently had the time
to look at them properly. Fantastic, brilliant, in the first half hour of looking
at Historical Notes on Bradford Corporation I found one of my family mentioned.
We knew he was a councillor but didn't know much else, we now know that he served
for quite a long time and the dates. Thank you, the quality is superb and so easy
to follow links, I have sent off for Bolton and Bowling, and Rambles round Horton
today and so looking foreword to it coming as the rest of my family come from there. CT.
18/1/07
Thank you Colin, the CD Hunter's South Yorkshire arrived this morning (Thursday 18th.).
It is very easy to use and will save me many trips to Barnsley library where there
are hard backed copies of the two books. MRW
27/11/06
Dear Colin, The CD Rom (Richmondshire) arrived this morning. Thank you. I am just
writing to let you know that it far exceeded my expectations. I have used several
web based copies and scans of books and the quality of yours is excellent by comparison.
It was well packaged and your service was efficient and timely. Thank you once again, AH
18/11/07
Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for the CD which arrived today. My husband always says
that the way to run a good business is to make it easy for people to give you their
money and you made it nice and easy for me. Payment was simple and straightforward,
delivery was super fast and the CD is just as described. I would be happy to buy
from you again and would certainly recommend you to others. So thanks again for great
service, Kind regards, CP

Hi Colin,
Received CDs yesterday and have just looked (quickly) through 'Morley Ancient and Modern'
I would just like to say how impressed I am with the quality of the contents and how the
links to chapters and photos/engravings work really well.
The effort that you have obviously put into this project shows in the presentation and
if the other 4 CD's are as good as this then I look forward to hours of pure pleasure!
From an ex-pat Yorkshireman living in Surrey -Thank you. GR
8/11/06
Dear Colin,
Thank you for the excellent CD ROM of the "History and Antiquities of Hemingbrough"
by Thomas Burton. As usual the quality of the book and the promptness and efficiency
of your service are much appreciated. Now having fun filling in the background to my
Hemingborough ancestors! With sincere thanks, JB
8/10/06
Delighted with the CDrom. The quality of reproduction is excellent, the active links
very helpful, and the books are a jolly good read. I've spent most of the weekend reading
them, and Harry Speight's "Nidderdale" has confirmed (well..... 99% point something confirmed)
one of my genealogical hypotheses, so I'm very happy! I've already recommended the CDrom
to a contact, & hope your orders are increased as a result. Many thanks! SL.
16/9/06
Dear Mr. Hinson
My sister here in Oregon ordered a copy of your CD of Poulson's Holderness book for me,
and I wanted to send off a note to you, with thanks for the really excellent and detailed
interactive features you have embedded in this old text. I wasn't expecting anything like
it. I am just delighted. It's simply better than having the book itself would be. Many
thanks for this excelletn research tool. Very truly yours, R S.
30/11/05
Colin, I just wanted to say thankyou for your work in putting these Rare Books onto CD-ROM
for public purchase/access. I recently purchased "Harrogate Records" and "The History of
Harrogate" - thankyou for your prompt mailing. They make fascinating reading, especially
for someone like me on the other side of the world, with distant family roots in that area,
but have not had the opportunity to visit, and negligible access to such books, either to
read or purchase. Again, a very big Thank You. GB
20/9/05
Recently a friend of mine helped me acquire the "History of Skipton" by W. Harbutt Dawson
(1882) and I am absolutely grateful to him for getting it and to you for making the CD.
The scanned pages are very clear and free of any blemishes. The pictures in the book are
lovely. It is a real treat to read about the olden days of Skipton and find family names
as well! I could not be more pleased! The CD was well packed and arrived in the US quickly.
Everything was top notch! Thank you so much, Marilyn P. Goodgion
17/8/05
Hi Colin,
Having spent two hours trawling the CDs, I have to say that they have not shed a great
deal of light on my research subject which is the History of The Independent Methodist
Church in Chapel Street, Cleckheaton. The group I am interested in was known originally
as Christian Brethren and they were dissenters from the Wesleyan Methodist Church in
Cleckheaton. This does not detract from the contents of the CDs; they are excellent
and I found both of them fascinating and informative particularly as I discovered that
the first Methodist meeting in the area was held in a cottage virtually on the site of
my present home. That stopped me in my tracks! Another enlightening fact was the
accidental death of a preacher in the street where I now live! These two discoveries
alone have brought the history alive for me. Your CDs were well worth the purchase price
despite their lack of information regarding The Independent Methodist Church denomination
but I am sure I shall continue to dip in at regular intervals just to find out more about
the history of the Spen Valley generally. I hope this bit of feedback is of help to you. DMH

Hi
Thanks for your E-mail, I already had your CD of Cudsworths Rambles round Bolton and Bowling.
I used it lot in my research into the Bowling Iron Works in Bradford.The quality of the
scanning is super and the search system outstanding. I was using it on Monday at the Bradford
Industrial Museum ( they let me use their records and Library) when the Keeper of the Records
saw the CD in action he wanted a copy for the Museum. As it's almost imposable for them to
place small orders without using up a Rain Forest with paperwork it would generate, I fell
soft and donated mine hence the order for my two CDs. Many thanks for your excellent work,
Best wishes PM
