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,
You guys don’t waste time! Thank you so much for Leoncavallo! He is now in my study, on the wall of honour. You may have read that things are grim here in Melbourne, with everything in hard lockdown and everyone confined to their homes for at least six weeks. This has brought me real joy and I cannot thank you all enough. Best wishes
