Some few of them:
Dear Wladimir! Your book arrived! I love it! I am not sure what I expected but it has not disappointed: Banfield is no longer the 'Bible' for card case collectors – may be just the 'Old Testament' with your book being the 'New Testament'! So, where to start with my comments! It is a good quality book and the photographs are very true - the close ups opposite the chapter titles are particularly striking. The montages showing various cases have been well assembled and are harmonious to the eye. But the two things that I love most about your book are: I found it inspirational - even as a collector of 19 years!It is very clear that the book has been written with passion and good humour. In short, it has spirit and 'soul'. And this is worth more than pages of academic study. You can be very proud of your achievement and I hope that you are rewarded by the book being a success. Lisa, Card Case Forum, England

From Germany: Sehr geehrter Herr Herman, gerade trifft Ihr Werk "Collecting Visiting Card Cases" hier ein. Das erste Durchblättern ist schon außerordentlich reizvoll und vielversprechend. Sicherlich ein ganz abgelegenes, aber nichtsdestoweniger ein hochinteressantes Sammelgebiet. Ich freue mich schon auf ein genaueres Studium und bedanke mich herzlich bei Ihnen für dieses wertvolle Geschenk. Mit freundlichem Gruß. Ernst Nolte, Buch und Kunst Auktionen, Hamburg

Ein großartiges Buch, hervorragend recherchiert und fotografiert.
Die Einteilung des Gebietes nach den verwendeten Materialien ermöglicht ein rasches Nachschlagen und macht es somit zu einem unentbehrlichenHandapparat sowohl für den Laien als auch den versierten Sammler. Ich hoffe, dass es auch in Deutschland einen Sammlerkreis gibt, dem ich dieses Buch nachdrücklich empfehlen möchte. Mit meinen herzlichsten Senada Spika, Antique Boxes, Hannover.

Dear Wladimir! … It was an Easter present for my wife Jennie, who has collected card cases for some years now. She was absolutely thrilled with your book and I have just read it myself and congratulations on a definitive treatise on those wonderful card cases. Australia and Denmark are linked through a 'Royal Connection' and your book has added to this linkage. Jennie and David, Australia
A Beautiful book thank you, a must have for the card collector!
