I have been very impressed with what you have produced.
The book is magnificent, I love the illustrations, the overall look of quality in the photography, and paper quality.
Not only does it look superb, it is without doubt an important and valuable source of information for both the specialist and for all those with an interest in jewellery.
I predict that it will be a huge success, a must have book with great appeal. Congratulations on all your hard work.
