no great difficulty in obtaining.
In a former letter, it was stated, that we were
obtaining prices for printing and binding, from the
leading establishments in , we have
now received the same, and will here quote the
best terms received, from the "Star Office", in ,
quite a large and reliable firm, having compositers that
understand Maori, which is a great advantage, the
prices quoted are for a book of 650 pages, size of leaf
5 x 7 inches, with good paper and type, a sample
of each they have furnished us, they say.
Our price for 2000 copies not more then 656 pages,
bound in leather as per sample herewith inclosed would
be £420.0.0d, for 1000 additional copies £150.0.0d
If found in cloth (sample inclosed)

thus you see, that by having the 3000 copies, they
will cost, in leather 3s-10d each or 95 cents, in cloth
3s-5d or 85 cents, these figures are 40 percent lower than
