Thank you very much for your prompt service. Less than two weeks from order to delivery (New York to Australia) is unbelievable! The book is in excellent condition and I hope you are doing very well.

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.
