Dear Dr Allen:

It is difficult for me to express myself
and tell you how much I appreciate your book.

I have read many interesting articles you
have written and I receive a lot of good from them.
By having read so many of your articles, I enjoy
your book just that much more. I especially enjoy
reading the stories in the back of the book.

By looking at the different pictures, I
have gained a lot of much needed information such as
most basket ball players need.

I can't help but think how fortunate I
was to have Mr Strickland take me to that basket ball
game and to meet you.

Again I want to thank you for the wonderful
book and I hope to see you at another basket ball game
soon.

Sincerely yours,
