Dear Argosy Books, This is just to let you know that the D.H.Lawrence Manuscript arrived safe and sound yesterday via DHL, and in record time! I'm very pleased with it. Many thanks for taking the time and trouble to make sure the item was well protected and packed before you sent it. As a result, it arrived in pristine condition and I am very grateful to you for ensuring no damage would occur to it during transit. With all good wishes
I don't think I have ever before felt the urge to write to a business, but I wanted to let you know that I have been extremely pleased with everything I have received. I started acquiring older titles when I decided to read some of the early writings in my field. While I noticed that some books were available digitally, I quickly discovered that nothing compares to having the actual books in my hands. For me, they inspire a feeling of deep respect for the work of these past authors that just cannot arise similarly from an eReader or a PDF. All of the books I ordered have been beautiful, packed with obvious care, and shipped in lightning speed. I'm hooked! The next time I head downstate I will look forward to visiting your store in person! Best Regards
