We are interested in stifling the sale of this book. We believe that this can be best accomplished by refusing to be stampeded into giving it publicity. . . The less discussion there is concerning it the more sales resistance will be created. We therefore appeal to you to refrain from comment on this book. . . It is our conviction that a general compliance with this request will sound the warning to other publishing houses against engaging in this type of venture. (Signed) Richard E. Gutstadt, Director.
