I love old books and I have to say that your shop was my favourite attraction in NYC, and I put it up there along with the MET Opera! I don’t tend to visit NYC very often but I will surely visit the shop next time I go.
Dear Argosy bookshop, I was very pleased with the speed of the service, and with the nice condition of the book. Many thanks for fulfilling this order so promptly. Best wishes
