Good job! Great service like this is why my brother and I love to shop at Argosy... Thanks,
The book came and what a treasure, thank you! It was autographed on one of the early pages by the author, to the famous British writer Rebecca West. I like this author, James Milne, and am thrilled to have a book autographed by him, and to someone like Rebecca West, too! One never knows what one will find in an old book!
