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!
Your beautifully wrapped package of books -- two copies of "Journal in the Night" -- arrived at my door this morning and made my day! A thousand thanks for the care you took, first to find them, and then to send them as you did, all done up with tissue paper to boot. It was like Christmas in June AND it was my first experience buying books on the Internet. All the best to you, and perhaps our paths will cross again.
