Foreign Representatives of Kaigai Hyoron Sha, Tokyo, Japan

KAIGAI HYORON SHA
(Overseas Commentary Company)

Kaigai Hyoron Sha is an all-Japanese organi-
zation formed in 1959 by a group of prominent
magazine writers and newspapermen who were con-
vinced that a large untapped market exists in Japan
for the writings of scholarly authors representative
of Western culture. They believed that tapping this
market would, over a period of time, prove a financially
sound investment and began making available to the
finest publishers of Japan - large and small - articles
and books from the finest publishers of the United
States and Europe. The volume business which they now
do in both articles and books has proved the soundness
of their judgment of the market many times over.

Kaigai Hyoron Sha's insistence upon permissions,
and the protection of the Japanese publisher during
his translation period, whether material is copyrighted
or not, has won many friends on both sides of the
Pacific. Their faithful attention to all details --
submitting each work to a suitable publisher, the
ability to arrive at appropriate fees based on a knowl-
edge of the finances available, the monitoring of
translations to assure the maintaining of the intel-
lectual level of the author and the spirit of the work,
the patient insistence upon proper acknowledgments,
and the furnishing of tearsheets -- has assured Kaigai
Hyoron Sha of an invaluable reputation among authors
and publishers of the Western world. Their success
in Japan is well known as they are regularly serving
all publishers, both metropolitan and provincial.

Dear Henry:

I have handed on the letter about Japanese publication of A WORLD RESTORED to Alick Bartholomew who runs our foreign rights department and he will follow this up after getting in touch with the Foreign Publication Service. I think it is better if we handle the thing since in our contract with you we have control of foreign rights.
