Scope and content
Mentions that Ryder had left. He suggests that if Fred [Warburg] does not get out of the way by January or April then Secker and Warburg should be sold to [Jonathan] Cape. Gant suspects that [Tom] Maschler and [Graham] Greene "want to get out of the Sid B. circuit and start up more or less on their own."
Gant gives a detailed account of his 10 day battle to secure a contract from Mario Puzo (writer of mafia novels).
"Mon[ica Dickens] is very happy here."
[David ] Cornwell had called on the way to Germany. "Last figs. We sold a thousand plus in a week and it looks as if we shall better in the next week's figs."
