This is a query to Richard (Price)---

Can you confirm something you said, or I think you said,  publicly because
it may well concern many small-press publishers on this list--

Did you say that by the copyright laws, only the copy sent to the B.L. is
in fact statutorily compulsory,  and the other five (which go via
A.T.Smail) are voluntary?    I  thought all six copies were compulsory.  In
fact I was quite certain about this, and so were several other people I've
mentioned it to.

Not that with my imprint I would dream of cutting off the other copyright
libraries.  But for instance, to people who publish artists' books costing
£1000 each in editions of 20, these  five copyright copies are sometimes
problematic.
