I made them as short and as comprehensive as possible. If it is necessary for you to delete front and back views to make the one line, it wili be entirely agreeable, as I will trust that to your petter judgment. . | liys, Allen and Miss Gile are doing a fine bit of work, and the way things are progressing we sho. have most of the stuff that you need in your possess fon in the very near future. I am happy at the way the work is progressing, and I am very sure that we will have a splendid book. | i 8 It was necessary for me to keep some of the eut dummies to check with Mrs, Alien on some of her galleys. Knowing that the printer's plant will not be open on Saturday I kept this stuff as long as I possibly could consistent with ao erat in reading the galleys and ehecking with the detail, It has~ proved profitable because we have been able to olim- inate a few slight mistakes by being able to cheek back on the cut dummies, I believe that we have lost as little time as possible under the conditions, know- ing that your plant is not in operation Saturday and the printers likewise, | So we try to get everything out the weekend to you so that you will have it on hand Monday morning. Pye stuff that we receive Monday we try to get back | on the way by at least Wednesday, If it doesn’t start on Weflnesday then we rather plan to get everything in shape so thet we ean ship it by at least Friday or Saturday so that 1t will be on hand for you Honday. Regarding the two cuts on a page, or two or three cuts on a page, I know you are just as anxious to have the best book possible, so I am not worry- ing about the way you handle the text, or upon how you finish the entire book, I know nothing a bout your job and you do know 4 lot about mine because you handle so many manuscripts, So while I may say thincs to you many of them, of course, are made on account of my ignorance of your situation, | However, I do want to emphasize the necessity of having those cuts re-made showing the basket be- cause that is the only thing that shows the location on the floor, ‘The pictures would be utterly useless unless the basket is shown, You could take the sane setup out of doors or on the street and it would mean just as much to a coach or player by looking at those baskets out on the street as it would on the basketball court without a basket because the pasket shows where the line falls, And that enables the reader to visualize the location, and without — location the picture has no value. f trust that you- will see this from our viewpoint, .

Allen Division of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas BETTER BASKETBALL Dear Dr. Allen: This will acknowledge receipt this morning of your letter of October 4th. I am glad to tell you that we have not only received a large number of corrected galley proofs, but some of these have already been for- warded to the printer for correction and page makeup. We will proceed with the paging as soon as you return the necessary cut dummies, and we can send these to the printer with the actual engravings so that they may be inserted in their proper position in the page proofs. In so far as is concerned the details of proofreading and correction on the galley proofs, I know that Mrs. Allen and Miss Gile (not Giles)will do an excellent job. I know too that Mr. Gartner will do his part on the illustrations. I have been in constant touch with both of them and I know that things are pro- ceeding satisfactorily. I hope to continue the good work. aes You will be glad to know that the printer has completed the typesetting so that the last installment of galley proofs will probably go forward to you before the end of the week. Please understand that the printer's plent is not open on Saturdays so that naturally proofs go forward only on Mondays to Fridays inclusive. I now come to the postscript of your letter, especially your comment that you are rather unhappy about our plan to place two cuts on a page. As a matter of fact, I think that I owe you an apology, because I should have said "two cuts or their equivalent on a single page." [ assure you that we will place the illustrations as close to the corresponding text as the exigencies of page makeup will permit. Of course it is goi to be i ible t conaisten in having two Ti festec tious and ROS ee oc TO Mc Graw-Hitt Book Company: Inc. * Dr. Alien PAGE two DATE 10-6-37 text on the same page throughout the entire book. This, as you know, is because of the varying sizes of the illustra- tions, and also the varying amount of corresponding text matter, but you need have no fear but that we will do our utmost to plece illustrations and the eorresponding text on the same page or facing pages. I hope that this statement will clarify the situa- tion and make you feel less uneasy, because I assure you that our experience with textbooks has made us extremely conscious of the advisability of having illustrations and explanatory text on the same or facing page wherever possible.

Dear Mr, MeGraw: In answering your good letter of — October 13 I should have made it more plain to you 2 that my only desire in listing "My Basketball Bible and "Higher Education in America” was to list the periodicals and publications that I had written. lis Many of the coaches for yearé have | been acquainted with "ity Basketball Bible", and some have thought quite well of it. This was an addition- al point that I had in mind = many of the coaches | knowing of "My Basketball Bible" would feel confident perhaps to purchase "Better Basketball" on the strength of my previous publication. Even with the book out of int, I thought it well to mention in connection with etter Basketball" that the author of “Better Basket- ball" is also the author of "My Basketball Bible”. | I certainly agree with you that "ily Basketball Bible” will soon be out of nt. Of course, Smith-Grieves may have a few copies on hand and they may dump them on the market at an excessive- ly low price. Of course, we cannot keep thom frou — doing thet, but my experience has been that when a book falls off from its established price it never | comusnds the attention for sale to the better coaches. I think, however, I ean got Mr, Smith and Mr, Klein- _hoffer, of the Smith-Grieves Company, not to do the thing I mentioned. They are very high grade people. Now here is one thing that I notice, ly, lieGraw, Tho Scholastic Coach, Alex Taylor ani . Company, of New York, and different people are writing © in concerning "Better Basketball". Somehow the publicity from your firm doesn't seem to have gotten across to the le, I am not even blemi our college or ma aor apartment for not sequaint ing : all of these people with these details, because you could print an article in the daily press for the readers every day and there would be a majority of them that perhaps would pay little attention to it. If I could have a setup or a sketch of what you people are doing, both your mail order and college people, then I might have a suggestion as to an approach that might otherwise be missed, | At our luncheon conferences we dis- — cussed things in general, but not speci@ically with Mr, Kelly and your other good men, My only interest is in promoting the sale of the bock, I admit that fama rank novice on this, but my desire is to help so you will forgive any impetuosity. .

Allen Division of. Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas BETTER BASKETBALL Dear Dr. Allen: In further connection with our recent correspond- ence regarding the cut dummies, I find that I have been laboring under somewhat of a misunderstanding, and wired you a moment ago after my investigation had disclosed the actual status of the cut dummies of the diagrams. I was under the impression that Mr. Gartner had sent you all cut dummies of both exhibits and diagrams. While this was true of the exhibits, it is not true of the diagrams because Mr. Gartner now tells me that these are not yet complete. However, you have in your possession, cut dummies of the first twelve diagrams and I am very anxious to have these returned to me with the copy for the descriptive titles that are to appear beneath them. In accordance with our original plan, you were to hold your original drawings of the remaining diagrams for comparison with the corresponding text while reading the galley proofs,so that you could return the corrected drawings and we could be proceeding with the correction and the making of the engravings while you were reading the galleys. If, therefore, you will return, in addition to the twelve cut dummies of diagrams mentioned above, the original copy of all other diagrams together with the copy for the descriptive titles, we will be in a position to transfer these titles from your copy to the cut dummies of the diagrams just as soon as we receive these from the engraver. However, I am still somewhat confused by the statements in your letters of October seventh and eighth, and [I am not yet sure that we have received all of the material mentioned in your two letters. TO McGraw-HILt Book Company: ING. Dr. Allen PacE two pate LO-18-357 In so far as is concerned your letter of October seventh, to which I replied on October thirteenth, you will note that I specifically acknowledged the receipt of the cut dummies and corresponding pee eeerepae or exhibits 1-162 inclusive. In the first paragraph of your letter of October eighth, however, you state, "I have just expressed this morning all of the cut dummies complete with the titles that I thought best." From this I assumed that you had reference to the cut dummies of the diagrams and did not check up on this point with Mr. Gartner until this after- noon after receiving your letter of October sixteenth. If the cut dummies mentioned in your letter of October eighth referred to the twelve cut dummies of diagrams and your original copy of the remaining diagrams and the .correspond- ing legends, then we still have not received this package. Of course it is possible that this will arrive this afternoon and if it does I will wire you accordingly. I am sorry if I have caused you any inconvenience because the misunderstanding was due entirely to my assumption that the first sentence of your letter of October eighth referred to the cut dummies of the diagrams since you had already returned all cut dummies of the ex- hibits. I have tried to be specific in my acknowledgment of illustration material, referring to them either as ex- hibits or diagrams, and will continue to do so, and would appreciate it if you would do likewise although after we receive the package mentioned in your letter of October eighth, everything should straighten itself out, and we will have clear sailing from now until the page makeup has been completed. I want you to know that no time has been lost and nothing will be lost if this package arrives today or tomorrow.
