I flew to NY from CA a couple of weeks ago, and while walking 59th, happened upon Argosy... Amazing! I had very little wiggle room in my time between meetings, but I made sure I came back the next morning, also. I'm so impressed, and reading about the family history of the store impressed me even more. Thank you for having such a marvelous bastion of knowledge there in the city! I was truly impressed.
I received my book order today, sooner than I expected and packaged with the care I have come to know from ABAA book sellers. When you described this book’s condition as Fine, you meant it! I couldn’t find one fault. Thank you.
