Clerk, District Courts, Travis ‘County, Texas. Owners J. J. LAMPIS G. C. SARRIS Naylor Publishing Co. -Pegasus for Hire publicity stories, that sort of thing,” she said, “but we -frankly tell the poets they will have to do most of the pushing of their books. “Here’s what we do for them. We have an editor who helps them. If the meter is too far off, he can improve it. But an editor can’t make good poetry out of bad; you know that. We design an attractive format. You notice these are all artist-designed jackets. We illustrate their books, if they want us to. \(Illustrations Do they accommodate any versifier who comes along? “Oh no,” she said. “We turn down more manuscripts than we accept. If the poetry is just too, too bad, or if they can’t afford it; you know. Of course, if they can afford it, and it will serve as a release for them, well .. .”, Naylor will print it despite the lack of quality. Mrs. Naylor waved her hand as though to dispel the subject. “You understand,” she said, “that poetry is just a small fraction of our work.” She got a list of last year’s titles. “Here, I’ll show you.” She counted the poetry titles. Of the 42 books published in the year, 17 were poetry. She frowned. “Now, let’s call that not a fair sampling,” she said. “I’ve never seen it run that high before. Let’s take 1959.” A count of that year’s titles revealed 15 poetry of the 40 total, still a heavy fraction, as she conceded. Since at least one-half the books published by the Naylor press are subsidized wholly by the author, it is with some justification labeled a “vanity press” by its critics. But ‘Mrs. Naylor stoutly balks at accepting the label. Three Contracts And it is quite true that Naylor is more than a vanity press, because it also pays royalties, under some of its contracts. “We have three types of contracts,” Mrs. Naylor said. “The first kind is where you pay X dollars and get X number of copies. It is a straight subsidy contract, the author paying everything. “The second kind of contract is called a participating contract: “Vanities of vanities, all is vanity. What profit bath man of all .his labour wherein he laboureth under the sun?” Ecclesiastes SAN ANTONIO The Naylor Publishing Company is the Southwest’s largest “vanity press”that is, company which publishes works at the author’s expensebut it has not attained that stature without creating some bubbles of doubt in the wake of its own financial success. Two years ago, Mrs. Iva Milam Blount, a retired school teacher living in San Antonio, bowed to the wishes of her family and friends, and published a book of her own poetry. A niece contributed $100 to the publishing, and she dug the rest out of her nonaffluent savingsthe total coming to “something better than $300″which she handed over to The Naylor Company, and received in return 90 copies of a 40 page book entitled “Through the Years,” printed in blue ink but without illustrations. Ironically, the price set on the book by the publishers was $2, which means that if every printed copy had been sold, Mrs. Blount could not have had a return of more than two-thirds of her money. That was in 1959. This week Mrs. Blount told the Observer “I have just tried to forget it all. I never did think Mrs. Naylor did me just right. It was my understanding that Mrs. Naylor would print some extra copies and send them out to reviewers, but I don’t think she did. But I’m not angry with her. Like I said, I have just tried to forget it all.” But executives of the Naylor Company, which dubs itself “The Poet’s Publisher” and “The Publisher of the Southwest,” remember the experience with much more satisfaction, because partly as a result of Mrs. Blount and other publishing-hungry poets of the state, Naylor’s business is
