He also mentions the number of copies that could be produced depending on the cost price. “Bollène 19 Sept. 1964 Dear friend Your idea seems excellent to me and touches me by its generosity. The text you sent me seems correct. I would like to keep a mock-up of the proposed edition: cover (typographic) font (avoid sans-serif and the latest novelties and compose in Elzevir or Bodoni or Astrée, in short in the classical style) and beware of the tastes of provincial printers and the ornaments they put everywhere. According to the production cost we could take 500 or 1000 copies. Peace, strength and joy to you.” Dimensions: 21.6 x 27.8 cm.
