Directions for questions 82 to 85 Read the short passages below and answer the
questions:

Care should be taken when submitting manuscripts to book publishers. A suitable
publisher should be chosen, by a study of his list of publications or an examination in the
bookshops of the type of books in which he specializes. It is a waste of time and money
to send the typescript of a novel to a publisher who publishes no fiction, or poetry to one
who publishes no verse, though all too often this is done. A preliminary letter is
appreciated by most publishers, and this should outline the nature and extent of the
typescript and enquire whether the publisher would be prepared to read it (writers have
been known to send out such letters of enquiry in duplicated form, an approach not
calculated to stimulate a publisher’s interest). It is desirable to enclose the cost of return
postage when submitting the typescript and finally it must be understood that although
every reasonable care is taken of material in the Publishers’ possession, responsibility
cannot be accepted for any loss or damage thereto.

Authors are strongly advised not to pay for the publication of their work. If a MS.
is worth publishing, a reputable publisher will undertake its publication at his own
expense, except possibly for works of an academic nature. In this connection attention is
