The Colophon a book collectors' quarterly1
15 June 1932
Dear Mr.Chesnutt:
We have been checking over our list and we find the names of some who,we are confident,do not want to interrupt their subscriptions,but who have not as yet renewed for 1932. So at this time we want to make sure that through no carelessness of ours is anyone overlooked.
Parts Nine and Ten are now ready and can be sent to you at once.2 Will you not please let us know whether you do not want to have us c ontinue sending you The Colophon?
Cordially yours, THE COLOPHON Ltd. Edith Brill Chas.W.Chestnutt,Esq. 9718 Lamont Ave. Cleveland Publication office of The Colophon Ltd • 229 West 43d Street • New YorkCorrespondent: Edith Caroline Brill Laub (1902–1968) was a White 1922 Vassar College graduate who worked for The Colophon: A Book Collector's Quarterly in New York City in the early 1930s
1. The Colophon: A Book Collector's Quarterly was a high-quality, high-cost periodical edited by Elmer Adler (1884–1962), a book collector and graphic designer. Published in its original large format only from 1930 until 1935 (and only sporadically between 1935 and 1948), it included Chesnutt's essay "Post Bellum, Pre-Harlem" in Part 5 (February 1931). The Colophon was available only by subscription ($15 a year), and at its most successful printed in runs of 3,000 copies (parts 5-12). [back]
2. Issues ("parts") of The Colophon were numbered continuously across volumes. Numbers 9 and 10 were the January/February/March and April/May/June issues of Volume 3 (1932). [back]
