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,
I just received my book today, and I wanted to thank you for the very prompt shipping. I was especially happy (and a little surprised) to see that you upgraded the shipment to UPS Ground. As to the condition of the book you are right; it is a solid Very Good, at least. Thank you all around for your professionalism.
