“It was only today that I saw the letter that came with the books I purchased from you back in February. Your thoughtful letter to me was dated February 17. I wanted to thank you for your thoughtfulness. Thank you for the extra book included, on Familiar Trees, and it will be a handy one for me, because, as much as I love nature and biking, I'm not good at naming the tree species. So that makes it a doubly sweet gift.”
Tim, Abbotsford, British Columbia
