Summary
Mentioning that he sent Wagenknecht a copy of "The Moon Tenders" for review; mentioning that it is his best book of the year, but has received very little critical attention; asking if he sent "The Mask of Cthulhu" yet, and that "The Return of Solar Pons" will be out in a few days, implying that it might be good for Wagenknecht to review those as well; listing the titles he plans to release next year, which will be half as many; mentioning that Dwig (Clare Victor Dwiggins) passed the previous month; noting he plans to release a history/bibliography of Arkham House to mark its 20th anniversary.
