Summary
Announcing the completion of the printing of Herbert's book; thanking Herbert for his approval of the print job and general attitude: "I'd like to say this has been about the pleasantest book to do that we've done"; updating Herbert on the folding, inserting, and binding progress; informing Herbert on how to apply for a copyright claim on the book; proposing that Herbert may enjoy binding several copies of the book in leather or half leather; wondering where to send the unbound copies of the work: "Should we mail the copies 102-200, the ones not to be bound, to your apartment -- and have Arno mail the 100 bound copies to Tiger's Eye? Or what?"; responding to Herbert's request for information concerning the Graphic Arts competition; joking about how the watermark is situated on the title page within the format of the book.
