From the estate of the late Howard Sandum, the acquisitions editor at Macmillan who helped publish the book. In 1962 Sandum joined Macmillan in New York at the behest of publisher Jeremiah Kaplan, initially as an assistant editor of religious books and trade paperbacks. At Macmillan he revived the former Collier Books trade paperback division, dealing with more than 800 unfulfilled book contracts and reformulating the division's assumptions, procedures and expectations. He served simultaneously as Collier Books editor-in-chief and as a Macmillan senior acquisitions editor, pioneering closer collaboration in hardcover/trade paperback acquisitions. Laid in are 5 contemporary photo copies of documents related to the book's publication: an internal Macmillan Co. memo from editor Samuel Stewart + four letters of support for Griffiths book, addressed to Stewart. The 4 photocopied letters are from the following: playwright Arthur Miller; Congresswoman Bella Abzug; Senator Frank Church and the prominent physician Benjamin Spock.
