Dr. Allen that we’ are just as much interested in the
physical appearance of our books as any of our authors,
in fact I think that we are much more interested be-
cause in so far as this is concerned, we have a repu-
tation to uphold. If we felt that 10 point type was
too small to be easily read, we certainly would not
have decided upon it. It is of course true that the
actual total of 482 text pages is slightly less than
my estimate, but it must be kept in mind that it was
not only difficult but practically impossible to make

a much more accurate estimate of the space that would
be required by the illustrations and their legends.

I feel quite confident that after the work has been
completed you will agree that you will have nothing

to be ashemed of in so far as is concerned the physical
appearance of this book. I am sure that you are going
to agree that its physical appearance does justice to
what is between thé covers.

Very ly yours,
