I just wanted to thank you so much for arranging for this beautiful and fascinating book to arrive here in Suffolk UK so quickly. It landed at my door after only a few days despite being promised in a few months and I am thrilled with it. It’s about Nicholas Hawksmoor’s plans for Cambridge with exquisite illustrations by Gordon Cullen and was carefully wrapped and in excellent condition. I am very rarely in New York but will definitely be calling at 116, East 59th Street when next I’m near!
I recently purchased a book from you, having searched via the internet. The book came yesterday and this note commends your service and quick response. I was impressed with the care taken to wrap the book with tissue paper and several layers of corrugated cardboard, as well as the speed with which you must have sent it out. It arrived only a week after the order, in spite of the Thanksgiving holiday. I thank you for the attention paid to the quality of my order and hope we will do more business.
