“I love your books. This is actually the third set I bought from your company. I was introduced to them when I was a young applications engineer. I needed to know what materials would work with want chemistries. Since I have changed jobs a couple of times, I always need to buy a new set ever time since they become a valuable source of information that I and the companies I have worked for rely on.”
