Notes From Elsewhere
[about book]: Earlier sections of this comprehensive history of tennis are a reworking of Julian Marshall's "Annals of Tennis" (1878), but it also provides a detailed account of court tennis over the fifty years since Marshall's book was published, complete with tournament records and valuable sketches of leading players. The second volume includes a section on the literature of the game. The archive of the Oxford University Press reveals that by 1932 some 380 sets of this cloth-bound edition were pulped. The true limitation is therefore nearer to 420. From the Oxford University Press Archives: "The Entry for Noel & Clark's book in OUP's "day book record" states that 800 copies were printed at £ 6.60 net and 30 (plus 3 "over" copies which were sold at cloth price despite being leather bound) on handmade paper, offered at £4.40 before publication. The book was published on 8 May, 1924. The "terms" section read as follows: "Costs of Production borne by Mr. J.O.M. Clark (Anchor Thread Mills, Paisley). For copies sold on subscription account to him at £4.40 less 25% discount (15% to trade + 10% commission) viz £3.30 per copy. For copies sold after publication, i.e. at £6.60 a/c at 7d to the 1 shilling viz £3.13 6 per copy. For copies sold to America at account at 1) £4.40 less 33 1/3% on subscription; 2) half the published price, viz £3.30 per copy after publication. Rates to New York Branch a) for copies ordered before publication 8 ½ d to 1 shilling of subscription price, viz. 59/6 per copy; b) after publication 6 1/2d to 1 shilling, viz. £3.8.3 per copy. 100 bound copies were pulped in 1929 and 173 copies remaindered to Heffer & Sons in 1933 @ 10 shillings per set. The book went out of print in October 1933".
