The book came and what a treasure, thank you! It was autographed on one of the early pages by the author, to the famous British writer Rebecca West. I like this author, James Milne, and am thrilled to have a book autographed by him, and to someone like Rebecca West, too! One never knows what one will find in an old 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,
