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.
Your beautifully wrapped package of books -- two copies of "Journal in the Night" -- arrived at my door this morning and made my day! A thousand thanks for the care you took, first to find them, and then to send them as you did, all done up with tissue paper to boot. It was like Christmas in June AND it was my first experience buying books on the Internet. All the best to you, and perhaps our paths will cross again.
