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.
Thanks for the book, which I am pleased with, and its very prompt delivery, together with the partial refund on the initial postage charge. All in all, I am very satisfied, and grateful for you for having taken the trouble you have gone to in this matter. Best wishes to you and your store. Sincerely,
