Dear Argosy - you've made my day - my order (Netherlands at War, 1940-1945) arrived on my doorstep this morning unheralded and very, very welcome. My sisters and I are Dutch immigrants in New Zealand and we all lived through that war 60 plus years ago as young kids. We had occasion to share what we remembered recently - and now you've supplied the book. I can't tell you what this means...

Dear Argosy. THANK YOU very very much. I ordered the book "A Case of Removal of the Lower Jaw, for Osteo-Sarcoma of Immense Size" by George C. Blackman. I was pleased beyond words just to think that I was getting an original copy of a book that my great great grandfather wrote. When it arrived it was an even bigger treasure for me, as his own handwriting was in the upp right corner of the cover, giving the book to a fellow colleague. Thanks again so very much for helping me bring my ancestry searching a little closer and more personal.

Hello. I received the book today in Italy. Thanks alot its beautiful.
B. Todeschini

Hello Naomi and Michele. A BIG thank you for your quick delivery of both President Wilson's TLS and Edith Bolling Wilson's letter to Mrs. Bainbridge Colby. They aree both magnificent! My eyes actually welled up after seeing and reading them. You're talking to an old west Texas boy who grew up reading American History at age 8. I am 48 now and I still love it! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You have made my day!

Hello. Many thanks for the 2 volumes which arrived this morning. They are outstanding examples of this scarce chess periodical and I am very pleased with them.

Dear Argosy, I just finished watching TV. Now I know there is the old books store called Argosy in Manhattan, New York. I've been looking for first edition of Little Women written by Louisa May Alcott. Do you have it? If you do please let me know.
Itoko Kadooka

The book has arrived and I am absolutely delighted with it - the condition is superb. Will you let me know if you get any other beautiful  bindings like this one in this condition. Best wishes,
Nali

I received my philosophy text on Saturday. It is in very good condition. I appreciate - and thank you for - your prompt, courteous, professional attention to my request. Hoping to see you when I visit Argosy in the near future.

What a great help Sara was. Sorry to hear she is leaving you. Book arrived Thursday in condition as described and tell her multumesc, that’s thank you in Romania.

I thought you'd find this interesting: I learned of Argosy by reading a bit of "bad" publicity in the book "Used and Rare" by Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone; no doubt you're familiar with it. (It was unfortunate that the authors had to grind their ax in print in what was an otherwise enjoyable book.) But I had never heard of Argosy before and my curiosity was piqued, so negative comments notwithstanding, I decided to pay a brief visit to the store. I reserved a book (long sought-after) ahead of time because I knew I'd be on an extremely tight schedule with several stops to make in just a few hours' time. Calling to reserve the book was a pleasant, very efficient experience, with a prompt return call to confirm availability. When I stopped in to purchase the book, the greeting (by one of the sisters, I'm not sure which) was extremely pleasant, the service so prompt and also she informed me of a signed letter by the subject I was interested in (unfortunately, I was unable to purchase the letter that day). I found the photo of Lawrence Olivier and Vivien Leigh as Caesar (or Antony?) and Cleopatra which hangs over the register very interesting-- had seen it before in a book. My only disappointment was that I was unable to actually spend time in the store-- it looked so inviting! But I will make it a point to spend time there on my next visit. So you see, even bad publicity can be very beneficial! Thank you for an enjoyable, if brief, experience!

Dear Judith and Adina, Thank you for the recent hospitality and information. I went to "Never Gonna Dance" as did some of the British Sherlockians...enjoyable, somewhat "fluffy" Astaire-Rodgers takeoff; saw "Carnival Knowledge" in the village...1940s Coney Island Sideshow with historical reflections...very good, and audience members almost as interesting as performers!!! Worth Seeing! Saw "The Merry Widow" at the Met...wonderful! My wife and group saw "Gypsy" and enjoyed it greatly. I always enjoy visiting with you; just wish I could buy more books from you! C. Paul Martin, M.D. 

I have just received the two books which I ordered about 3 weeks ago safely in the condition in which they were sent. My dealings with Argosy Book Store since I started ordering from them earlier this year have been great!! I find that the prices are very good and the support and assistance from the staff is exceptional! If you have not ordered from them before I cannot recommend them highly enough based on my experiences to date!

Dear Argosy, Here is another challenge for you: I am looking for a first edition, hardback copy of Western Asceticism, The Library of Christian Classics, Vol. XII, edited by Owen Chadwick. It was first published by The Westminster Press in Philadelphia in 1958. It states that it was published simultaneously in Great Britain by the SCM Press, Ltd., London. The Presbyterian Publishing Corp. re-published it in paperback in 1978, I believe, with the ISBN # 0-664-24161-1. Thanks for your help again,
David Glenn
 

I have just returned from visiting NY and your store. I immediately came to the site to see what else you had ... am I in trouble! I could have spent hours (ok, more hours) there! The staff was wonderful! My husband and I are avid readers (of everything) and we will be contacting you again I am sure. Thank you so much!
