I have just received the copy of I, Robot Screenplay published by Easton Press and signed by Harlan Ellison which I ordered just after the middle of June 2003. The book arrived in the condition in which it was sent and I am glad that I ordered it from you. Will certainly order from Argosy Book Store again in future!
I just want to congratulate you on getting my book to me two months ahead of the ABE projected date of delivery - thank you very much! It arrived on Monday 25th February instead of the 26th April - amazing! The book was carefully packaged and it reached me in excellent condition. Thanks again.
