After almost a year the tests of the Great Bohemian and Moravian Book are now almost complete. We only have the order to carry out a number of maps and desired changes in Berlin and Prague. The printout of the book is now possible. Now the printing house Wohlfeldt in Magdeburg informs us that it could complete a partial edition of the books in about 6 to 9 months under the present conditions. The normal production of the book would take about 2 months. We have conducted long consultations with the Wohlfeldt printing house and have particularly pointed out the political character of this book. On the other hand, the printing plant has openly described its position, which shows that it is really unable to cope with the work at present despite the existence of sufficient machinery. Now there is a single possibility, namely that we will get the printer from here for the time of the production of the book 4 to 5 printers, among them possibly 2 illustration printers. To carry out the total edition of 50,000 copies these men would have to stay for four months in Magdeburg. S.C.FC-29b142
