I am very pleased that you took the time to consult me on the price before just adding the additional shipping cost onto my credit card. Ordering things on-line, one runs into all kinds of less-than-considerate business practices... Thanks again for taking the time to contact me. I'm looking forward to the book.
Dear Argosy, the book has already arrived well in (old) Amsterdam! It's indeed a very nice piece. Many thanks & best regards to New York.
