Dear Argosy, Today I received the letters and foto from Alma Tadema. My compliments for all the items plus information you also sent me. And I must say, I am very happy! Thanks you for the perfect shipping. I am very glad that I have bought the items by Argosy. Your website I keep in my favorite!
I love old books and I have to say that your shop was my favourite attraction in NYC, and I put it up there along with the MET Opera! I don’t tend to visit NYC very often but I will surely visit the shop next time I go.
