Materials Specific Details

Douglas says that there is not a Florence Limited Edition of Looking Back: [An Autobiographical Excursion]. It is coming out in a commercial edition as "the Limited Edition mania is extinct." He refers to Hitler, saying that he "seems to be a shit." Douglas says there is a lot of suffering among his friends because of Hitler and the war. He has been told that Harpers has brought out an American edition of [H. M.] Tomlinson's book [Norman Douglas]. He asks Sachs to send him a copy if this is true.
