Dear Dre Poole:

It was very nice of you to write me concerning
my new book, “Better Basketball". My old book, “My Basketball Bible"
has just gone out of print, but I think my new book, “Better Basket-
ball", is the last thing in basketball, if you will pardon me for
being enthusiastic about it. I worked for over two years on the
publication of it, and I believe that I have somethings At least, I
have tried to make it 80e

The book sells for $4.00, and we will be glad to
pay the postagee If you will write me what you desire in the book I
will be glad to follow your wishes and will autograph it for you.

I feel certain that your high school activity
association library will enjoy ite I have just received a letter from
Mr. Neal Wherry, principal of the Lawrence High School, and he states
that he has ordered four copies for the Lawrence High Schoole Quoting
from his letter he says: “It is generous for you to write as you dide
We were glad to buy the books because we thought that we got our
money's worth. We appreciate, end I am sure the readers will be in-
tensely interested in your eutographing the book. I, myself, have
enjoyed reading the book, and our librarian reports the other day
that she was swamped with calls for the book. As a matter of interest
I am amclosing copies of letters that I am writing te some of the book
companies in Chicago."

He further states: “We are very enthusiastic
about the book and think that the teachers and students of any high
school should be.” ~ ‘
