 Item — Box: 3, Folder: 13

Scope and Contents

12 items (6 TLS, 5 TL, 1 statement, with 2 carbon copies of letters sent by Girodias to Steimatzki). Concerning the contract dispute between Olympia, VN, Steimatzki and Putnam's. VN suddenly withdraws consent to a deal with the Israeli firm of Steimatzki, a deal that G. claims he had reservations about, and that is already signed by 2 of 3 parties. G. assures Schébéko that his firm is one that fulfils its obligations (2.10.59) and warns Steimatzki that, based on G.'s experience, Putnam's is unlikely to reconsider its objections to Steimatzki's plan of reproducing the Putnam edition of Lolita (2.12.59). Mention of VN's preference for the Putnam edition.
