I must confess that one of the best parts of any trip I make to NYC is to visit your bookstore and be received with such kindness. Today I had two big pleasures: Argosy and Renne Flemming's performance... If I have time on this trip I will again pass by your store again, otherwise I will contact you from Brazil. Best regards,
Many thanks for your prompt reply informing me that the book is now set aside for the library. It's great that you are willing and able to send an invoice with the book -- it makes life a little easier when you work for a very large institution! Thanks again.
