He sends an example of the title page for Minorsky's approval.
Storey Charles Ambrose 1888-1967Letter from C.A. Storey to Vladimir Minorsky to inform Minorsky that he thinks it is inadvisable to bring out extra copies without the Persian text and that supplying him with offprints to give out would further dilute the market. 500 copies are likely to supply the demand for many years. He thanks Minorsky for providing a reference for him.

Storey Charles Ambrose 1888-1967Letter from C.A. Storey to A.J. Arberry to enclose a copy of Heffer's last letter to Raynes on the subject of binding which explains that the difficulty is due to shortage of binders. He also replies that he is fully aware of the condition of the material as he has spent much time with it since its transfer to Cambridge in 1941 and there is no question of deterioration. He suggests that the British Council would probably not be able to help with the situation of binders. He gives a more detailed explanation of the situation of the stock and suggests, in future, they trustees ensure volumes are immediately folded and stitched after printing as they cannot afford to keep stocks of flat sheets. With this letter are some notes in Storey's hand containing information about stock.
