Dear Argosy, Thank you for your prompt and efficient attention to my order. It has arrived safely and I am very pleased with it. It was particularly good of you to take the trouble (and expense!) to send it priority mail.
I saw CNN student news on the other day and impressed how you ladies doing at the bookstore. I am Japanese woman and we value and treasure ancient things. Plus I am a genuine bookworm who prefer printed volumes than electric gadget. So I wanted to say it was a great interview and wonderful to know that there are someone who try to preserve old things rather than sell them and go to Carribean or wherever to swing in hammock. Hope I can visit you someday. Love and respect,
