THE CLARENDON PRESS

Dear Mr. Carroll,
I had already written to Professor Webb about Santa Rita when your
letter of 15th December arrived. It is very kind of you to send me the
book, which I value. My eyes, accustomed for four years to the deepening
gloom of "austerity" printing, are almost dazzled by the fine workmanship
and materials of the book. This is certainly the style in which permanent
books should appear. I like your decisions not to use half-tones for
the illustrations - the bold black line figures match the type far better.
The binding is very pretty indeed. One day you must come along
here to Oxford - when there are not so many Americans about! - and
let me show you around.
With all good wishes,
Yours sincerely,
A. P. Norington.
