Thank you very much for the fast delivery of my books. They were exactly in the condition you described and one of the volumes contained a very interesting dinner invitation and menu. Thank you very much, as well, for cost-effectively sending parcel via normal US Post.
Many thanks for your help... Over the years I have spent many happy hours at the Argosy - mostly among your old maps. Whenever we have taken a trip, we have bought an old map of the country or area to remind us of where we've been. We have a whole wall of maps from the Argosy. As well as a number of your small prints of areas in the USA. They make wonderful presents for friends and family too - also some of your older books on special subjects. So you can see I am a big fan of the Argosy!
