Dear Sirs,

 

We should be much obliged if you would furnish us with an estimate for the binding of a book of 80 pages, 8 5/8 x 5 5/8", 10 sections, We should supply the paper for the cover, and plain endpapers; but we should wish you to supply Holland Cloth for binding the back, also to print label on back and sides. We wish the book to be bound with boards, covered with paper, turned in and pasted down.

 

We enclose a dummy of the book, showing number and size of pages etc., and should be grateful if you would furnish us with a dummy with your estimate.

 

We should also be obliged if you would inform us how long it would take you to complete the work.

 

Yours faithfully | THE HOGARTH PRESS
