Dear-Dr. Allen:

I have a copy of your letter to Mr. Hyland
dated October 30 and am answering it in his absence,
even though he will return later today.

Concerning the size of type, it is true we
had at first thought 11 point would be best but then
we didn't know the size of the manuscript. However,
this really mekes little difference for the difference
in size between 11 point and 10 point is really
negligible and it will make the book somewhat smaller,
as explained by Mr. Hyland. Even with 10 point it is
going to run around 500 pages including front matter
and there is such a thing as having a book too bulky
and heavy. We would, of course, have used 11 point
if it had been a smaller manuscript and while we
probably should have told ~~ of the change, it was
overlooked,

There is no guestion as to the price of the
book. It is to be $4.00, which was settled long ago.
As I told you at that time, the $3.00 price was set
tentatively because we did not know the size of the
manuscript but that is now over the dam.

Regarding the sub-title, we had planned to
use it in every place except on the jacket but if you
prefer it on the jacket, we will include it there as
well although we are not sure it will look as well.
While we may not look at it as a sub-title, that is
what it really is and it will really make no difference
one way or the other, so it will be used as you request.

Sincerely yours,

ae
CWM : MK .
