Please inform me (1) whether there exists in the State Publishing House a general practice under which, when any book or pamphlet without exception is published, there is recorded in writing:
(a) the signature of the member of the Board of the Publishing House who is responsible for editorial supervision of the publication in question;
(b) the signature of the actual editor of the text;
(c) the signature of the responsible proof-reader or publisher or printer.
(2) If not, what objections are there to such a system? What are the present means of supervision?
(3) Information under § 1 about the pamphlet:
{{ On Concessions. Decree of the Council of People’s Commissars, November 23, 1920. Text of the Decree. Units for Concession. Maps. State Publishing House. 1920.[1]
State Printing Works (former Sytin), 71 Pyatnitskaya, Moscow, 1920.
[1] This letter, a copy of which was sent to Y. A. Preobrazhensky, was written apparently because Lenin had noticed omissions in the proofs of the pamphlet On Concessions. Decree of the Council of People’s Commissars of November 23, 1920. Text of the Decree. Units for Concession. Maps, which had been sent to him for inspection.
