Just a note to let you know that the book by De Remusat arrived safe and sound today. Wonderful copy. Very nicely packaged for shipping too. I'll remember your store. Thank you.
I can't begin to thank you for the personal care and attention you all gave to me on Saturday - when I came to Argosy during your tech breakdown. I love the four marvelous books I purchased for my nephew and the generous wrapping you provided. I shall always remember the experience and look forward to seeing you again soon. With appreciation!
