With each book I send home a card with the child's name, the tide of the book, the date and a space for the parent's comment. This has proved to be a very valuable exercise as I have learnt a great deal from their comments. It indicates the more popular books and those thought to be unsuitable for various reasons. The following comments are typical:
This gives the photographer the opportunity to meet the bride "personal and up close" at a time before she has been besieged by people who want to get in on her wedding business.

* Is the credit card accepted by the hotel? If in doubt, check ~ with the front desk supervisor or credit manager.
* Is the card valid? Check the expiration date to be sure.
* Is the available credit sufficient to cover room charges, tax, and auxiliary charges for the entire stay? Obtain authorization from the credit card company.
