FARRAR & RINEHART INCORP ORATED PUBLISHERS fr 232 MADISON AVENUE CABLES : FARRINE : NEWYORK July 9, 1941 Mr. L. von Mises 599 West End Avenue New York City Dear Mr. von Mises: After I had written the letter enclosed, I heard from our Trade Department regarding your book on Nazism. The general feeling of the editors is that the books which are selling these days are those of more current interest; Shirer's BERLIN DIARY, for example, is the present outstanding seller. The time for publish- ing a more solid book which reviews the growth of Nazism would, they feel, be in the future, probably after the close of the war when the public is viewing the entire scene less emotionally and more objectively. It is with regret that they feel they must decline your book at this time. I am returning both manu- scripts herewith. Sincerely yours, James Manager Can loor JVT:AE College Department
