Wow! I received my book today, and am very, very pleased with my purchase. I have recommended your store to the Alibris community and hope to do business with you again! Thank you!!!!
I flew to NY from CA a couple of weeks ago, and while walking 59th, happened upon Argosy... Amazing! I had very little wiggle room in my time between meetings, but I made sure I came back the next morning, also. I'm so impressed, and reading about the family history of the store impressed me even more. Thank you for having such a marvelous bastion of knowledge there in the city! I was truly impressed.
