I mean, this has to be the last one, right? Because what could ever follow this email, which (really!) arrived in my Inbox this afternoon:
"On a sad note, my dog managed to intercept print number 6, "Needlework", while it was still in its packaging, and take it outside and chew on it in the rain, so that print is a loss. If it is possible, would you be able to send me a replacement print (and invoice me for it of course)?"
There you have it. 'The dog ate my print'.
At last, I have seen everything. My life is complete.
(In all fairness, I shouldn't omit the other content of his email ...)
"... let me say how much I appreciate all of the woodblock prints I have received so far in the 'Mystique' series. I've always been a fan of Japanese woodblocks; shin hanga, Kawase Hasui, Ohara Shoson, etc, in particular. I was a fan of your website for many years, but ever since subscribing to your series, my appreciation for these prints have expanded greatly. Your constant attention to detail and the very informative essays accompanying each piece are wonderful. Even your newsletters are greatly appreciated."
