27th November 1995
Dear Mr Copland
Thank you for your letter of 14th November 1995 and for sending us details of your manuscript The Evolutionary Development of Life Forms. After careful consideration, I regret to say that this is not something which we could be interested in publishing as the material does not fit in with our current publishing plans.
Thank you for your interest in the Press. I wish you every success in placing your book elsewhere.
Yours sincerely
Judith Ayling
