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!
I'd like to say thank you very much for this wonderful book! The parcel arrived yesterday in best condition. Thank you also for the very professional processing, especially the customs formalities. I've already browsed through it briefly: a very interesting work in its original, very well preserved condition. Simply wonderful!
