DY. Forrest C. Allen

Dear Dr. Allen:

Thenk you for your letter of October 7
in which you enclosed a request from Mr. E. C.
Baden of North Lewisburg, Ohio, for a copy of
your book. We are placing this in our unfilled
order file to be shipped upon publication.

I am also glad to have your description
which you are sending out to people inquiring
concerning the book, which will help us in our
publicity, ete.

There is only one point which comes to
mind from reading the description and that is
you are listing MY BASKETBALL BIBLE. It was
my understanding that this book, upon publication
of the new one, would be declared out of print,
and not sold any more. It would seem to me that
because BETTER BASKETBALL will be published
around the middle or end of November, that it
would be better to declare MY BASKETBALL BIBLE
out of print, telling Smith-Grieves & Company
to refer all orders to you or us, preferably
ourselves,

Sincerely yours,

CWM : AK
