Quince Tree Press invoice
This is an invoice sent to the publisher Donald Maxwell in 1985. The inscription reads:
The next bk will be The Song of Songs (!) After that quite a bit of reprinting of o/s bks (Johnson, Rossettis, Morris, Donne, Wilde) with an eye on my Sinking Fund. It's been a fairish year, no better than last, considering the no. of titles has increased. Next yr will be my 21st & ½ millionth small book. No more carving time but I weekly admire my two medieval revivals as I go to market. The Welsh widow still cooks splendidly. Next wk I'm giving a lecture in Oxford How to write a novel in One Easy Lesson
. Quartet sent me a royalty statement. They sold 8 copies of the cricket book last year & I've still not earned my down payment! I'd like to buy a few remainders. Do not flag. Jim.
