I write to you these few words to tanks for your friendly service and to notify the correct arrive in Rome of my two maps (New York and Paris). Tank you and good bye to my next visit in NY.
My book arrived in record time (it shocked me when it arrived so soon after ordering) and was beautifully packaged. If it didn't go via DHL it would never have made it through the Australia Post system unscathed!!! Thank you!
