As an Interior Decorator I am on the constant lookout for source material for my clients. I recently completed a Studio pied a terre in the Georgian period for Mr. David Brown at Lincoln Center. That is, we were almost finished with only the artwork to be designed and purchased. I have a passion for antique architectural prints and I can't believe that I didn't know about Argosy Books. After all Designers don't really like to share their finds with others. I was in a cab, looking out the window as we passed by Argosy Books and noticed a fine selection of framed prints hanging in the window. I had found my oasis! I now head first to Argosy for all my print work and framing. What a treasure and a real lifesaver for design business! Thanks eternal.

I just received my Harvard Classics 51 vols. Many thanks for a perfect deal !! Good and to the point presale info, a good price, super fast shipping (in 10 working days to Continental Europe, wow must have been Concord). The books were wrapped with loving care and arrived in perfect shape to be the crown in my library. If this is your standard customer care, you set a standard that will go unchallenged for a long time !! I will recommend you to all my book loving friends !! Many thanks again.
