Just a quick thank you note. The Great Upheaval was tenderly packed. I can tell you love your profession as much as I love books. I'm reading it right now and enjoying the quiet of a new snow in New Mexico. Thanks, again!
Just a quick message to let you know that I have received the book last week, 1726, in a French armorial binding. Just beautiful, a great addition to my collection. Thanks again for selling such quality items and hope to trade with you again. Best regards from France
