Many thanks for your help... Over the years I have spent many happy hours at the Argosy - mostly among your old maps. Whenever we have taken a trip, we have bought an old map of the country or area to remind us of where we've been. We have a whole wall of maps from the Argosy. As well as a number of your small prints of areas in the USA. They make wonderful presents for friends and family too - also some of your older books on special subjects. So you can see I am a big fan of the Argosy!

I received an out of print book from your store in perfect condition and you took the time and energy to wrap it carefully for protection. I am related to the writer of the book and was so pleased to receive a copy in perfect condition... Because you made the effort to get this book to me in great condition, I wanted to make the effort to thank you!
