Publishers commit suicide in a cesspool [press release]

New York: George Peabody and Associates, Inc. for The Catholic Digest, [1956-?]. Two 8.5x11 inch sheets stapled at corner, minor edgewear and toning.

“Continued publication of sex-obsessed novels may mean that America's book publishers are committing suicide in their own cesspools. Publishers have recently revealed an almost unbelievable stupidity in gauging American mores, morals, and tastes, Dr. Clarence W. Hall, executive editor of the nation's largest Protestant monthly magazine, charges in the February Catholic Digest.” Goes on to quote extensively from Hall's letter, which is undated but mentions publications from late 1955 such as Norman Mailer's "The Deer Park."
