Going through my desk drawer I came upon this letter from 2003 from Marius regarding the purchase and shipment of 100 books that I created for his 80th birthday. I sent him a dozen as I gift and he called wishing to know a price for 100 copies for Le Select. The early consumer books were expensive and rather rudimentary, but he like them and wanted 100. I told they cost $78 per book, so that would $7800 for the lot. The check arrived shortly thereafter. The books, in 6 boxes, took from 4 weeks to six months to arrive (USPS-La Poste), but they all made it and pne of the books is still visible in the Le Select display case, slightly moldy after all these years!
