Thanks for the note. I'm actually in NY for a few days and was hoping to get there but have to head back tomorrow. I've been stopping by the Argosy for over 60 years starting when my mother would take me there after shopping at Bloomingdale's and lunch at a long gone restaurant on the east side of Lexington between 58th and 59th that was torn down to make way for Alexander's department store; that is gone too, of course.
Bountiful thanks! I just returned from a business trip, and the "Armenian Art Treasures of Jerusalem" book had arrived at my office in perfect condition. Thank you for your kindness and professional courtesy!
