Allen & Unwin: “However, I am afraid we do not feel that we could publish it successfully. . .” Jane Williams, Sec. to Peter Leek.

Situationist.” Bill Butler.
Penguin: “I have now had a chance to look at this and I very much regret to say that it doesn’t seem a possibility for us.” Neil Middleton.
Harper & Row: “Careful consideration was given to the work and while we recognize the merit of such, we feel that there is not sufficient market to warrant our publishing.” Tadashi Akaishi — Vice President and Publisher.
Sphere Books: “I am afraid that it is far too specialised for any of our imprints. . .” Angus Wells — Fiction Editor.
