Materials Specific Details
Douglas describes his new book, Some Limericks, which is being bound at this time. He calls it "obscene and blasphemous to the last degree." He says that there are 110 copies printed at a price of five guineas. Douglas emphasizes that Sachs cannot show the book to "people like journalists, booksellers, or anyone else who might put U.S. Customs on the track of it." He says that this is the first time he has mentioned the existence of the book to anyone in America.
