Dear Frank,
Yesterday I received the book (in the NL)! Beautiful (and smells nice ;)). I love the stories next to the photographs too. Wonderful job!! Thank you!! Kind regards,
Lilka
Just got the book. Excellent! Very happy! Thank you.
Being pedantic :-) for next release there are some bits which would need double checking or perhaps correction - they are not noticeable for non-native of Russia and doesn't distract much.

So ein schönes Buch!!! vAllein schon der Einband in Leinen mit dem eingeklebten Foto. Wo gibt es das noch? Ich liebe es.
Allerdings hätte ich mir gewünscht, dass das komplette Buch viersprachig ist - auch die Annotationen der Bilder.

I saw a sponsored post on Instagram mentioning your work and found your concept and the images I saw very funny, touching and inspiring. It didn't take me long to decide whether if to buy it or not. Congratulations and I can't wait to discover all the images.
Wiglius

Your book arrived in time, by 3 days. My wife is delighted and is enjoying the photographs immensely. So evocative and indeed necessary in these times when our benighted country is led by a demented charlatan. Good luck with all your future projects.

Sorry I never wrote before but I love your book, the photography and its choreography and the stories and of course your sent of humour. It deserves to do well.
