I can't begin to thank you for the personal care and attention you all gave to me on Saturday - when I came to Argosy during your tech breakdown. I love the four marvelous books I purchased for my nephew and the generous wrapping you provided. I shall always remember the experience and look forward to seeing you again soon. With appreciation!
Thank you very much for the parcel that arrived today! Everything is perfect. Special thanks for the very careful wrapping and packaging - it could not have been better. Best wishes
