Dr. Norman Leys, 
Brailsford, 
near Derby.

 

February 19th 1925.

 

Dear Sir,

 

We have to-day received a letter from the "East African Standard" in answer to ours enquiring their advertisement rates etc. Do you think it advisable for us to take a 4inch space ? Their rates are very moderate, and this would only cost 28/-

 

They also ask us to send a review copy of the book, which, apparently, has not been done. We are not at present sending out any review copies as our stock is getting so low, but do you think we should make an exception in this case ? Mr. Woolf is in favour of sending it.

 

Mr. Woolf also wishes me to say that he thinks there is still a chance, if only a faint one, of the book getting reviews in the papers you mention.

 

Yours faithfully | THE HOGARTH PRESS | Manager

The Hogarth Press informs Norman Leys that they have received a letter from the East African Standard regarding advertising rights and ask if he would like to take a four-inch space. They ask if he would like to send a review copy to them but state stocks of his book are low. They pass on a message from Leonard Woolf about the book getting better reviews in a paper Leys has mentioned. [The letter from The East African Standard and enclosed rates are enclosed with this letter]. Within the letter from the East African Standard R. F. Mayer the managing director writes to enclose advertising rights and states that they have not yet received a review copy of Kenya. [To view the letter please contact the University of Reading Special Collections]
