THANK YOU for the recent order you sent me! It arrived in perfect condition due to your excellent packing. The books are wonderful! Especially valued are the old Roman Catholic books with dust wrappers! Thanks so much.
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!
