Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: In my letter of December 13 I promised to let you know the result of the special campaign to your Kansas list, as well as from the mailing of 10,000 by our School Department. To date, 5 orders have been received from the special Kansas list, which is disappointing, but to our minds is accounted for by the fact that individual names are much better prospects than where the position only is used. During December, somewhat over 300 copies of BETTER BASKETBALL were sold. Of these, 232 were direct results of the School Department campaign. The remainder came through bookstores, which probably was the direct result of the mail campaign as well. Besides the orders received for BETTER BASKETBALL, there were many other of our sports books ordered in connection therewith as well, so we feel the campaign was mighty successful and orders are still coming in from it. . The latter part of January we will publish Dick Vaughan's book on HOCKEY, That will have a mailing of well over 20,000 to school and college coaches and libraries. With the campaign will be included a full page circular on BETTER BASKETBALL, so the sales in January and February should be again satisfactory. Then, too, in the January and February issues of Athletic Journal and Scholastic Coach, both the HOCKEY book and BETTER BASKETBALL will be featured. McGraw-HiLL Book Company: ING. to Dr. Forrest C.

At the moment, my figure will not be exactly accurate for the Accounting Department is in processs of checking carefully. However, sales during that period have been around 1,150 copies, which I think with everything considered, a good record.

KEE Allen's BETTER BASKETBALL Technique, Tactics and Tales Here is a comprehensive and thorough manual, an interpretation and guide for all who supervise, play, or watch basketball. The author explains graphically the most advanced developments of the game, and through copious use Of diagrams and photographs makes clear every detail of individual and team play.

We will bill you at 40% off which is, under our agreement, the author's discount on his own book. Possibly in November of 1937 I overlooked that and quoted you our regular discount schedule but after all, it amounted to the same thing so it makes no difference. The book is still moving along and it should have another good year. We are again covering all the Departments of Physical Education by mail as well as coaches, and will cover the summer schools, too. All of this, with promotion at the beginning of the season next fall, should give us a respectable total of sales.
