Item Collection of correspondence from The Caxton Printers April 1949 through 1954.(UNPUBLISHED, 1949-04-13) Gipson, Jim H.; Richards, Eva L. Alvey; Gipson, Gordon; Montgomery, Richard G.; Montgomery, Wm. A."The young lady handling the manuscripts tells us that Dreamers and Drummers, and the photographs to illustrate it, have been received and acknowledged. The manuscript will go to our readers, and when we have their reports which we anticipate in 60 to 90 days -- we are far behind with our reading as it is -- we will write you again."Item Collection of correspondence from The Caxton Printers February 1955 through December 1955.(UNPUBLISHED, 1955-02-08) Gipson, Jim H.; Gipson, Gordon"We are in a rather serious situation as far as the publication of books is concerned, Click, because our facilities are just not adequate to take care of our commercial customers and to make the books. We will do some head-scratching, however, and see what can be done."Item Collection of correspondence from The Caxton Printers January 1958 through February 1968.(UNPUBLISHED, 1958-01-10) Gipson, Jim H.; Southwick, D. L.; Gipson, Gordon; Pead, Margaret"The sales of 1957 would not justify us in reprinting....We have to keep an absolute minimum of 300 sales a year--it should be 500 a year--in order to keep a book in print without losing our shirts. Judging by the above, about the best we could possibly hope to sell would be 200 copies a year. Are you in the position to accept the responsibility of selling 100 copies a year for each and every year until the reprint has been disposed of? What we have in mind is a reprint of 1,500 copies."Item Collection of correspondence from The Caxton Printers January through December 1957.(UNPUBLISHED, 1957-01-04) Gipson, Jim H."This is the first week for a long time that we've had no ring book sheets of reviews to send you. We're hoping that we'll have some this next week. Drummers and Dreamers has, of course, gotten a splendid press. If you have any thoughts as to how this fine book can be further promoted let us know."Item Collection of correspondence from The Caxton Printers January through September 1956.(UNPUBLISHED, 1956-01-09) Gipson, Jim H.; Gipson, Gordon; Ballou, Joseph E."Your suggestions regarding Drummers and Dreamers are noted. I am not sure of the advisability of adding to the title Drummers and Dreamers the words 'of Priest Rapids', at this stage of the game. This would increase the length of our folio running heads in the book to rather an awkward length, and it would be a difficult title -- due to length -- to lay out on the jacket. However, we will give the matter due consideration."Item Collection of correspondence from The Caxton Printers October through December 1956.(UNPUBLISHED, 1956-10-01) Gipson, Jim H.; Gipson, Gordon; Solliday, Ethel M."It is good to learn from your letter that you are pleased with the work of our boys in turning out Drummers and Dreamers. We tried hard to make a good book mechanically, because the book is important, and deserves the best that we or any other publisher could produce."
