Dear Argosy, I just finished watching TV. Now I know there is the old books store called Argosy in Manhattan, New York. I've been looking for first edition of Little Women written by Louisa May Alcott. Do you have it? If you do please let me know.
Today I received 'Illustrations of Sterne' safe. I'm very glad to find the book is in much better condition than I expected. Thank you very much!
