I have received the Paul Johnson book, and everything was excellent. I want to thank you for your efforts and professional courtesy in this transaction, as it was one of the best I've experienced over the past year. I hope that I can do more business in the future with Argosy Books. Thanks again.
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.
