If he sells the books he is a bookseller, whether he keeps the books or not. Actors do not study their parts for Family Bibles weighing half a ton or so. His game must be to cut the volumes up into seperate plays and sell these to amateurs who would otherwise buy them from me. I am not set against this is the poor things get their copies really cheap. Does he mind telling us what price he contemplates asking? Dates 1935-1947
