Testimonials (4)

dicartwright2 says:
"Where I live, we would call Wishbook's scans "Hot chocolate for the soul". I understand that in some countries is "Chicken soup"
Whatever it is, be it a chocolate soup, Wishbook's scans, in my book, are good competition to being at home on a saturday noon, relaxing with a pet and a bar of chocolat.
Is this rant even considered a testimonial?"14th November, 2007

Lisanne! says:
"For years I have been comparing the Internet to the world's library. That being the case, one would expect to find practically any book or other printed matter. Physical libraries have been sharing such material through the Internet, but the task is a large one, so the input of individuals such as Wishbook is much appreciated. The acquisition and scanning of various catologues of mail-order houses is a huge task, and a valuable addition to the Internet library. Many of us are greatly appreciative that these pages have been made available."
