The Wanley arrived SO quickly, and I really love it! It is extremely hard to put down, even for a minute. Thank you very much for the book, the phone conversation, and the speedy arrival.
A fine website and a distinguished store. It's been a pleasure doing business with Argosy in the past and I look forward to more transactions in the future.
