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 saw CNN student news on the other day and impressed how you ladies doing at the bookstore. I am Japanese woman and we value and treasure ancient things. Plus I am a genuine bookworm who prefer printed volumes than electric gadget. So I wanted to say it was a great interview and wonderful to know that there are someone who try to preserve old things rather than sell them and go to Carribean or wherever to swing in hammock. Hope I can visit you someday. Love and respect,
