Your Celestaire catalogue arrived a couple of days ago, and I must say that I am most impressed about how informative it is. As for the books you sell, I know many of them well, and I think you give very fair appraisals of their contents. Looking at the list of books, it seems to me that the publication you suggested last wook would be striking out in something of a new direction for Celestaire. Not that there's anything the matter with that! Am I right?
