“Thank you much for your help. It is so useful as I am right now working on the fishes of Ganges. Moreover it is so great that the library provides classic literature on fishes and it was a dream to me [when] I started my taxonomy ten years back. It is marvellous [what] you did for us which are badly in need of old literature. Thanks a lot.”“Thank you much for your help. It is so useful as I am right now working on the fishes of Ganges.

Just to let you know: your service is marvelous! I found so many books I never would be able to consult in libraries. Kind regards from Switzerland I would like to thank your team for bringing this world of literature to my desk. Currently I am using much of your 18-20th century works to complete a rather difficult task for an Australian Government project. With this access the work could never be accomplished. Many, many thanks
