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...
Congratulations on a lovely and well-deserved article in the latest New Yorker. As a modest customer of long-standing, let me add that the Argosy (including all of you) has provided me with countless hours of pleasure and pleasant discovery over the past 30+ years. My bookshelves, my mind and my life have been enriched by you all. Thank you,
