Materials Specific Details

Douglas thanks Sachs for the extract about "babies produced in Mexico City," but will not be able to use the information. How About Europe? [Some Footnotes on East and West] is not popular among the British. A German translation has been done, but no publisher has been found for it. Douglas thinks the limited edition business is out of style now; people wait for the cheap edition to come out. Douglas comments on a dispute over photos he had sent to be used in [How About] Europe? [Some Footnotes on East and West]. His book [Looking Back] is finished and has been sent to the publishers.
