Hi Brenda — Thank you for the great Life Magazine of August 5, 1946! It got here Monday and was packaged so incredibly well. There is a lengthy article in the magazine about my son’s great-grandfather and I wanted him to see it and have it. Years ago I saw the magazine and have always wanted to have a copy; now we do! I had no idea that you were just down the road in Salida. Please keep-up the great work, the fantastic products and the incredible service!

Got the magazine. I have been looking for a copy of this Life edition for about 15 years. The original oil painting on the cover by Frank Leyendecker has been in my family for over 80 years and I have always wanted to get a copy of the Life cover.

“Hi Brenda, I received the magazine I purchased from you today. I must say, I cannot thank you enough for your careful packaging. My heart fell when I pulled into my driveway and spotted the envelope lying at my front door in the pouring rain! But I’m thrilled to report that because you had the foresight to wrap the magazine itself in plastic, it was not damaged.
