I just wanted to thank you so much for arranging for this beautiful and fascinating book to arrive here in Suffolk UK so quickly. It landed at my door after only a few days despite being promised in a few months and I am thrilled with it. It’s about Nicholas Hawksmoor’s plans for Cambridge with exquisite illustrations by Gordon Cullen and was carefully wrapped and in excellent condition. I am very rarely in New York but will definitely be calling at 116, East 59th Street when next I’m near!
I just finished reading about the store and your family in Nick Basbanes newest book, Patience & Fortitude. I had previously read an article in Book magazine. I wished that I lived near so I could visit your store, it looks and sounds like a place I dream of getting lost in. Basbanes book mentioned that your father began a memoir but was, sadly, unable to finish the work. Would it be in anyway possible to read what must be a great historical adventure in bookselling? I wish you all continued success and a very long existence.
