Greetings from Ireland... I was in your store on a snowy Thursday last week. I picked up 3 books and you went to a lot of trouble giving me information on having them shipped to Ireland. I purchased the books and they arrived this morning. They were superbly packed... paper, bag and box. They are in perfect condition Despite being in NYC most years its the first time I've been in your wonderful bookstore. It wont be my last visit! Keep up the good work.
Hello. I ordered a book from you via Abebooks a short while ago; it arrived today. Since one cannot leave feedback there, I wanted to send you a note to thank you for packaging the book so carefully! I know the item wasn't very expensive, but it was a gift for my mother, who was quite thrilled to receive it. Thank you very much for taking the time to be so thorough. Best regards
