Tom, I received LET PASS OR DIE today. I’m pleased you invested in good printing, as the images are excellent. I’m looking forward to reading it and passing on purchase details to ex-colleagues from the UK Immigration National Document Fraud Unit. (S.A., UK)

I’ve got the book yesterday and it improved my knowledge about passports history immensely. (Jenwit, TH)
