Dear Argosy, I just finished watching TV. Now I know there is the old books store called Argosy in Manhattan, New York. I've been looking for first edition of Little Women written by Louisa May Alcott. Do you have it? If you do please let me know.
The book arrived today in Luxembourg - great packaging and a very nice copy, true to the description. Thanks for the great customer service.
