I just read your work on Wheeler and Wilson and I enjoyed it very
much.  It is interesting to see how things we take for granted in
everyday life really got started.  Thanks for all the hard work.

I have learned more about WW's from you than anywhere else. No one else seems to know much of anything about them.

Hi Alex
What a beautifully written and illustrated history of the Wheeler & Wilson Company.  My 87 year-old friend, James, recently bought the #9 and asked me to see what I could find out.  Neither of us had ever heard of Wheeler & Wilson.  You have educated us.  Thank you so much!

"My five grandchildren are reading this book aloud to each other from my Kindle every Sunday.
The characterization is great; both heart-warming and funny, and the story never lags.
 I enjoyed not only the story, but watching my grandchildren's delight in hearing it.
 The illustrations are the best I've seen in a very long time.
Anne Lancaster USA

 If this isn't the perfect book it's close to it!
I'm on my third run though already.
 Love it, love it, love it.
F. Watson USA

The way it's written you can just imagine walking beside him seeing the things he does.
Definitely look forward to reading more of his adventures.
