The Colton map arrived today (5/11) and looks GREAT! It is a beautiful piece of work, and was securely packaged and protected. I really am pleased with your quick and friendly service -- and I am glad to make a purchase from a family run business!
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.
