Materials Specific Details
Douglas thanks Sachs for his dissertation on obscenity as an art form. He says that he cannot risk sending more copies of his book [Some Limericks] to America. Sachs' copy is the only one on that continent. Two books have been seized by the English authorities and Douglas will not send any more to England. He says that the ten-guinea copies are on paper that is just as good as that of the five-guinea copies, which is "the best handmade that Italy can produce."
