Promotion in England

Back from our trip to England...cold and expensive! We had good success in promoting Mum's book, "Ladies of Class". First of all we went to Mum's Library in Burgess Hill, Sussex and saw the Ladies of the library. We gave them a book and they are going to stock it. We then met with the Chairman of the Historical Society in Burgess Hill and donated a book. He was very pleased to receive the book and said that it will be on their shelves also. We managed to talk to the Managers and Buyers of several bookstores in Burgess Hill and Stratford Upon Avon. We are hopeful that they will purchase copies for their stores. But we glad to be back home in the warm in Panama!
