I have just received my latest order in the mail. GREAT CONDITION, GREAT SERVICE, GREAT DEAL. If you have not ordered from Argosy Book Store before, I cannot recommend them too highly! I will certainly order again!!
Greetings from Ireland... I was in your store on a snowy Thursday last week. I picked up 3 books and you went to a lot of trouble giving me information on having them shipped to Ireland. I purchased the books and they arrived this morning. They were superbly packed... paper, bag and box. They are in perfect condition Despite being in NYC most years its the first time I've been in your wonderful bookstore. It wont be my last visit! Keep up the good work.
