To His Literary Agent, H.N. Swanson. 1980-1996. The correspondence to Swanson and other agency employees highlights Leonard's unflagging attention to the details leading to the production of his books. Composed in the precise and terse tone of his fictional characters, the author discusses plot developments for forthcoming novels, book distribution rights, his participation in book signings, suggestions for the filming and casting of characters in movies based on his books as well as back stories for his characters, legal issues concerning the copyrights for foreign translations of his novels, and other pertinent details that other authors generally eschew from being involved in. The letters are handwritten or typed on Leonard's letterhead or replied to on his correspondents' missives.
All in all, an instructive look into the hands-on participation of Elmore Leonard on the step-by-step road to publication of his books. Fine. Housed in a loose-leaf binder.
