Hey — someone liked their Vindy coverage

Hey — someone likes the work The Vindy does.

Check out this letter that came in, and the Vindy reader response to their venture:

Dear newsroom,

We would like to express our appreciation for the Vindicator's exceptional coverage of our recent book, Classic Restaurants of Youngstown. The community's response to the book has been overwhelming, and we're happy to report that sales have approached 1,100 copies--a development that we attribute, in large part, to the publicity provided by the Vindicator.

In the wake of trends that have undermined daily newspapers across the country, residents of the Youngstown area have continued to benefit from a local paper that maintains high standards and shows a firm commitment to the community. We feel privileged that you considered our work newsworthy.

With sincere appreciation,

Thomas Welsh and Gordon F. Morgan
