Dear Argosy -- The Childhood of an Equestrian arrived today. I order a lot of books and wanted to say your packaging is excellent. You would not believe how much plastic tape many book dealers choose to use. The box you sent, and the book wrapped in paper with no tape, were far nicer. The signed book and addressed letter are excellent, too. Thanks for the book.
I was very happy to receive the package this morning. The book is in beautiful condition exactly as described with an unexpected Mylar plastic cover. I used to frequent your bookstore and purchased many fine books there when I worked in Manhattan. Wishing you continued success. Sincerely,
