My book arrived in record time (it shocked me when it arrived so soon after ordering) and was beautifully packaged. If it didn't go via DHL it would never have made it through the Australia Post system unscathed!!! Thank you!
I have received the Paul Johnson book, and everything was excellent. I want to thank you for your efforts and professional courtesy in this transaction, as it was one of the best I've experienced over the past year. I hope that I can do more business in the future with Argosy Books. Thanks again.
