Comments we've received so far on the book about the life of Edward Lloyd Parry

I just wanted you to know that I just finished reading your ELP book again. This time I read it much slower savoring every word.  I love it.  You did an amazing job.  Thank you for all the time you spent in researching and writing about this great man.


==============================================


I can't tell you how much I enjoyed reading the Edward Lloyd Parry history.  I am so appreciative of all of the work that went into it.  The documentation is wonderful and the presentation is awesome.  So well done.  We got copies to give the kids for Christmas.  I'm sure it will be appreciated by them also.

==============================================

Congratulations on a job well done!! I look forward to reading it over and over again!!! Thank you!!

===============================================

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your history on Edward Lloyd Parry.  The research was magnificent and the presentation was superb.  I appreciate the hours, days, months that you put into this project and it has produced such a superb document. I enjoyed the book so much.  Thanks for all the work you did and for sharing it.

============================================

There aren't words enough to tell you how much I loved the ELP book.  It is unbelievable the data you have collected on his life.  I wonder if we searched some of our other ancestors if we could find even a part of that much. It is amazing.  There are so many great photos, too.  We are so blessed that ELP had so many photos taken.  What a treasure. ... Thank you again for the zillions of hours you both have spent on the ELP project.


============================================



I LOVE the book. Beautiful in every way. I will have it read by the end of the day. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the great gift to us and our children.


=============================================


I received my inaugural copy of the ELP book today!  What a treat!  It is a masterpiece.  Thank you so much for starting it, completing it and sending me a copy.  I don't want to read it too quickly because then it will be over too soon!  (Know what I mean -- I want to savor the experience of reading every word.)  The book is beautiful, the pictures are great, I love the cover, the hard cover aspect, etc., etc.  Thank you once again for a great gift.  I look forward to reading and re-reading its contents.

=============================================

The book is beautiful!  You did a great job!

=============================================
We are loving the book.  It is so well done and INTERESTING.  Another evening and I’ll be through reading it.

=============================================

The book is wonderful.  You have done such a great job.


=============================================

Your book is distracting me.


I started reading Friday night and I couldn't stop reading. Do you realize how much research went into this book? Of course, you do. It's an engaging "story" about a complex life. When I mean complex, he had more than one wife. Elizabeth couldn't have children. So Ann had the first baby and names her Elizabeth Ann and then lets Elizabeth rear Ann's child.


Then there's the name thing. This book is about ELP. Not EP, the dad. Or ETP the son. But ELP.


Then just to make this novel even more intriguing, in comes George Brooks. But he changes his name to Proctor Parry and then back to George. And then his son marries a Parry.


I'm reading it like every good book should be read: with a red pencil. I'm marking it up to pieces.


Good work. I'm not even half way done.


=============================================

Just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! for the wonderful job that you did on the book.  This will be a treasure for our family for generations to come.  We picked up 10 books from your dad yesterday and distributed them to [our family]. What a work of art you have done.  Thanks again and again!!!  We are blessed to have discovered you and your Dad as members of the Parry clan.


=============================================


I loved your book. It's amazing how close I feel to ELP and his family, especially his two wives. (I know he had four, but Elisabeth and Ann are my favorites. I feel like I really got to know them. What faithful women!)


Do you know what I liked about the book? You editorialized. Often you said something like, "This must have been hard for them." Or, "This is how they probably felt." I really liked you injecting your logical conclusions into parts of the story that were somewhat inconclusive.


Great book. You have linked generations. If you had not written this book, these stories would have been lost forever. Now my kids and my kids' kids and the kids' kids' kids can know.
