HAWKE SECRETARY & ASST. TREASURER CABLE ADDRESS LONDON “Mc GRAW HILL” NEW YORK ALDWYCH HOUSE,W.C.2. HOP or a aeens November 24 i: 3S 7 br, Forrest. C. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I acknowledge your first letter of November 22 concerning the mail order activity which IT had mentioned. It may be true that more coaches and boys will buy the book just before Christmas but I should judge that would be more or less bookstore sale rather than by mail order. Our experience over long years has proven that mail orders during December are not very numerous and we generally do little of it. It is our opinion that the mail order during January and February should be most satisfactory. I, too, wish the book had been out a bit earlier and it would heave been had it been a smaller volume with less illustrations and less complicated. However, it was impossible in the light of those fects and because of our heavy schedule as well. I might mention that our Sales Department has already been in touch with Lowe & Campbell and their chain of stores and has received orders from all of them. . The book will be ready the end of next week and we will start to ship then, although the exact pub- lication date will not be until the 10th. — In your second letter of November 22, I think. your method of handling the bookstores in Lawrence a good one. It will save us a trip and with your close contacts you will probably do a better selling job than we would, Your order for 125 copies, I am placing on file and it will be shipped you immediately upon pub- lication, by Express, which would be much faster than Mc Graw-HILL Book COMPANY: ING. To Dr. Forrest C. Allen PAGE —2- pate 11/24/37 Parcel Post of Freight. As to what discount you allow the various stores, we really are not much interested except for the regular bookstores, who should be allowed our regular discounts as given you in a previous letter. On that regular seale, the discount we allow you will be 41%. I take it that you would like us to bill you direct rather than charge your royalty account. Things have been coming so thick and fast that I got behind and am just now finding time to answer your first letter of November 17. In that letter you mention small ads in various State High School Athletic Journals. I will take this up with our Sales Depart- ment and if they think well of it, get in touch with the men you mention. However, it is a dangerous precedent for us because with so many other books in their field, they will be continually pestering us and some hard feeling is liable to crop up. College papers, particularly, we shy away from because of that latter point. I note the letter from Major Griffith and see that you will write something for him on the new tin-off rule. If you can get the book mentioned, of course, it will be fine. Advertisements have already been scheduled for December and January with the Athletic Journal and they will get a review copy as well. The Athletic Journal did publish Lambert's book on Basketball but that was several years ago and they did not have great success with it. According to them, it should have gone to a regular publisher. I also note the list of people who helped you with the book and I will send you the number of copvies as listed so that you may autograph them and forward them to the various people involved because you have given no addresses for them. In your second letter of November 17 you tell us that you have sent Major Griffith the article that you wrote in BETTER BASKETBALL and he will give credit to the publisher and author. You, of course, have per- mission for this and you can tell Major Griffith - can run it when he pleases.

Will you run over it and let me know if you have any additions or corrections to make. As IT told you, I will write a great proportion of these people personal letters. Will you also please return the copy of this list. In one of your letters about complimentary copies you mentioned the Basketball Rules Committee, of which St. John is Chairman. St. Johm's name is on the list. However, I do not have a list of the others and if you would like them to get copies, will you send it on. You also had some reference to someone on Muncey's Magazine in another of your letters. What did you have in mind there? Yesterday I had placed in an envelope and mailed to you a copy of the varnished jacket. I think it looks marvelously and I hope you are pleased with it. IT am enclosing in this letter a circular which our School Department is mailing out to: various schools throughout the country on their lists.
