Hi Geoff

Thank you very much for your very kind comments. We are receiving a great 
many compliments from readers which of course sure makes the author, "Thelma 
Fayle" a very happy camper this being her first book; rather than magazine 
and newspaper articles by the hundreds. As well as myself for the pat's on 
the back about my wild wild 60 plus year career chasing about the world 
shooting my assigned projects.

I have read it three or four times and although the quotations and photo 
suggestions come from the lengthy time of interviews, a hundred plus hours 
of recordings and note taking and with people whom I worked with during the 
past years. I ask myself....... "Is she really talking about me?" :-)

The writing without question is superb. Oh yeah there's a few neat "happy 
snaps also!" :-)

Thanks again for your kind comments.

See you in New York in April at the LEICA GALLERY where the book will be 
launched to the USA and a 75 big print exhibition will be opened until 
August.

Cheers,
ted
