'It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones'

Melville first proposed the British publication in a June 27, 1850, letter to Richard Bentley, London publisher of his earlier works. On July 3, 1851, Bentley offered Melville £150 and "half profits", that is, half the profits that remained after the expenses of production and advertising. Only on September 12 was the Harper publishing contract signed. via @wikipedia
