Just a note to let you know that the book by De Remusat arrived safe and sound today. Wonderful copy. Very nicely packaged for shipping too. I'll remember your store. Thank you.
Let me take a moment to let you know how pleased I am not only with your timeliness and help, but also your honesty and commitment to your customers. As an instructor at Duquesne University, I am always telling my students about responsibility and, lately, some of the book dealers have given me unnecessary difficulties... I am very pleased with the service I received from your company and will inform my fellow faculty members that they can look forward to professional service from your book shop. Again many thanks and I look forward to future dealings with your company.
