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,

Poor shipping practices among the high volume sellers on abebooks.com is a major issue for me as a book lover, so I've been trying to avoid dealing with the ones I can't trust. It's great to see a seller treat books with respect!
