quote:
A woman has spoken of her surprise at receiving the exact copy of the book that she signed and sent to her late father in 1984.

Ros Ford, from Alfriston, East Sussex, purchased a copy of Texts and Pretexts by Aldous Huxley for her husband Adam's birthday.

The order, through book warehouse ABE Books, was sent from a shop owned by Michael Moon in Whitehaven, Cumbria.

Inside was the message Mrs Ford had handwritten decades ago.
