The Clarendon Press, Oxford
7th September, 1927.
Dear Mr. McKerrow,
Thank you for your letter of September 5th, announcing completion of your labours. I cannot yet say whether there will be queries in the Index, but if there are any that we cannot settle automatically, I must send them along to you. Printing is going on, but I think we can make your latest corrections.
Six copies seems rather a short allowance, and I suggest that we allow 1 advance copy and 11 final copies on publication date. We don’t much like hurrying publication, because it prevents us having a good look at the advance copy, and seeing that all is well. But at present our programme is to have an advance copy in this office on 22nd September, and to publish three weeks or a month later. I think as long as we keep within the month of October, we shall not do badly. But if you have any special reason for wanting the book earlier, please let me know, and I shall do what I can to curtail the period between advance copy and publication.
Yours sincerely,
Kenneth Sisam
