One of the advantages of maintaining a web presence for a while (our first site went live in 1995) is the number of emails we receive from around the world. Most of these have something to do with our extensive media catalog.
Sometimes they ask us if they can have a copy of something from our collection, other times they need help locating a distributor. Once in a while they need help with research. All the emails are in their original form without corrections. We'd like to share some of these with you.
Here are some of the international e-mails since January 2002:
