The Colton map arrived today (5/11) and looks GREAT! It is a beautiful piece of work, and was securely packaged and protected. I really am pleased with your quick and friendly service -- and I am glad to make a purchase from a family run business!
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,
