Dear Argosy -- The Childhood of an Equestrian arrived today. I order a lot of books and wanted to say your packaging is excellent. You would not believe how much plastic tape many book dealers choose to use. The box you sent, and the book wrapped in paper with no tape, were far nicer. The signed book and addressed letter are excellent, too. Thanks for the book.
Many thanks for your help... Over the years I have spent many happy hours at the Argosy - mostly among your old maps. Whenever we have taken a trip, we have bought an old map of the country or area to remind us of where we've been. We have a whole wall of maps from the Argosy. As well as a number of your small prints of areas in the USA. They make wonderful presents for friends and family too - also some of your older books on special subjects. So you can see I am a big fan of the Argosy!
