MAXIM 
GORKY 


For  those  who  wish  an  understanding  of  Russia  and  to  whom  the  drama  of  Russian 
life  is  a  source  of  intensest  interest,  there  is  one  writer  who  stands  towering  over 
Russian  literature  today,  its  undoubted  master.  This  is  Maxim  Gorky ;  and  his 
writings  stamp  him  as  perhaps  the  one  of  all  Russian  writers  who  most  completely 
depicts  the  reality  of  life  in  the  icy,  northern  land.  His  career  has  been  extra- 
ordinarily varied,  a  list  of  his  occupations  reads  like  the  life  history  of  one  of  his 
own  fictional  characters ;  painter,  peddler,  scullery  boy,  gardener,  watchman,  baker's 
apprentice,  revolutionary  leader  and  writer  of  great  novels!  A  man  of  the  people; 
he  depicts  those  suffering  millions,  ground  beneath  the  cruel  wheels  of  autocracy, 

yet  with  a  spark  of  hope  ever  glowing  and  firing  them 
to  the  century-long  struggle  for  freedom  of  which 
Gorky  himself  has  been  a  leader.  His  books  are  tense 
with  the  nervous  horror  of  a  down-trodden  people,  the 
characters  displaying  an  amazing  reality,  human  men 
and  women  in  the  grip  of  love,  hate,  greed,  ambition, 
bravery,  cowardice,  poverty,  disease.  It  is  a  whole 
world  that  Gorky  depicts ;  and  every  event  in  it,  every 
twist  of  character  is  shown  with  a  clarity  and  faithful- 
ness to  exact  detail  that  are  unsurpassed. 


MOTHER  is  Maxim  Gorky's  greatest  novel.  In  it  he  tells  the 
story  of  a  Russian  Mother,  whose  love  for  her  son  transformed 
her  into  a  valiant,  irrepressible  fighter  for  freedom.  The  book 
sums  up  the  spirit  of  the  struggle  against  the  Czar's  autocracy ; 
it  is  the  perfect  expression  of  the  Russian  will-to-freedom, 
which  constantly  was  undermining  the  Imperial  structure.  An 
amazing  novel,  real  as  life  itself,  as  thrilling  and  as  moving. 
In  it  Russia  stands  forth  in  a  flood  of  light.  $2.00  net

Two  Reasons  for  a 
HAPPY   NEW  YEAR 


SAINT  TERESA 

Henry  Sydnor  Harrison 

Once  again,  and  more  emphatically  than  ever  before,  Mr.  Harrison 
shows  himself  in  SAINT  TERESA  not  only  a  creator  of  unique 
plots  but  a  master  craftsman  in  the  deftness,  the  artistry  with  which 
he  handles  his  material.  As  a  presentation  of  a  very  modern  type 
of  girl  SAINT  TERESA  is  fascinating,  as  a  picture  of  modern 
business  it  is  illuminating,  as  a  study  of  the  eternal  conflict  of  the 
sexes,  it  is  absorbing.  But  best  of  all  it's  a  mighty  fine  story  told 
as  only  Harrison  could  tell  it  and  completely  satisfying,  from  the 
first  page  to  the  last.  $1.90.

Colonel  Repington 

During  the  period  covered  by  this  continuation  of  his  famous  diary, 
Colonel  Repington  visited  most  of  the  capitals  of  Europe' and  talked 
with  the  leading  statesmen  and  men  of  affairs  in  each  country.  Add 
to  this  that  it  ends  with  a  first-hand  account  of  the  Washington  Con- 
ference and  a  description  of  American  scenes  and  persons,  written 
with  all  the  frankness,  the  intimacy,  the  unreserve  for  which  the 
author  is  famous,  it  will  be  seen  that  here,  indeed,  is  a  book  that  will 
be  anxiously  awaited,  eagerly  read,  and  widely  discussed  by  the 
American  public.  $5.00.

THE 


Fire-Tongue  The  Tribal  God 

By  SAX  ROOMER  By  HERBERT  TREMAINE 

Harold  MacGrath's  novel  about  China  and  the  South  Sea  Islands  is  a  thrilling  character- 
story  of  literary  excellence,  which  will  further  endear  Mr.  MacGrath  to  his  widespread 
audience  .....  Sax  Rohmer  has  won  popularity  on  the  style  of  his  enthralling  plots, 
of  which  he  has  written  another,  based  upon  the  sinister  influence  of  an  oriental  mind 
....  Herbert  Tremaine  writes  about  the  English  middle  class  with  surprising  fidelity, 
and  in  his  newest  novel  has  dramatically  employed  the  theme  —  Is  family  coherence  based 
upon  the  love  of  money?  These  novels,  net,  $1.75  each.

at  the  helm  for  most  of  its  years,  records  his 
hope  that  the  successors  of  present  chief  and 
staff  may  hold  to  the  same  aims  and  ideals  and 
win  from  a  book -trade  of  vaster  extent  and 
prosperity,  the  appreciation  for  which  the 
PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY  gives  thanks  to  its  sup- 
porters thru  the  years  past. 

In  the  twenty-five  hundred  issues  of  the 
past  fifty  years,  aggregating  one  hundred 
thousand  pages,  the  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY  has 
sought  in  the  development  of  successive  years 
to  give  increasing  service  to  the  trade  and 
help  in  the  leadership  toward  greater  useful- 
ness and  larger  prosperity  and  this  aim  it 
will  continue  to  cherish  in  the  earnest  belief 
and  sincere  hope  that  the  American  book-trade 
iaces  an  era  of  service  and  prosperity  far 
beyond  its  present  attainments.  The  facts  that 
the  collections  of  all  the  public  libraries  in 
the  country  do  not  amount  to  one  book  per 
capita  of  our  population  and  that  the  total 
production  of  books,  Bibles  included,  from 
American  presses  does  not  reach  one  volume 
each  year  per  capita,  are  sufficient  evidence 
that  the  great  field  of  book  distribution  has 
so  far  been  harrowed  rather  than  cultivated 
and  that  abundant  margin  of  opportunity  is 
still  before  us. 

A  difficulty  in  the  way  of  the  sale  of  good 
books  has  been  the  amount  of  reading  time 
claimed  by  the  newspapers  and  other  period- 
icals, especially  by  the  popular  weeklies  and 
monthlies  of  wide  circulation.  Such  reading 
should,  nevertheless,  be  the  bridge  to  reading 
of  a  more  permanent  character  and  to  the 
sale  of  a  larger  number  of  books,  provided 
American  publishers  are  ready  to  do  their 


part.  That  part  must  be  done  by  studying 
the  taste  of  the  public,  providing  a  literature 
which  will  meet  and  elevate  that  taste,  issuing 
books  in  a  style  and  at  a  reasonable  price 
which  will  cause  the  supply  to  increase  demand 
and  pushing  forward  promotion  work  in  be- 
half of  book  distribution  in  which  the  book- 
trade  should  cordially  co-operate  with  and 
have  the  cordial  co-operation  of  the  libraries 
thruout  the  country.  In  the  past  few  years 
notable  advances  have  been  made  in  this  co- 
operation, altho  the  increased  price  of  books, 
necessitated  by  the  increased  cost  of  printing 
and  until  recently  of  paper,  has  stood  seriously 
in  the  way  of  the  greater  use  of  books. 

In  this  development  of  the  future  the  PUB- 
LISHERS' WEEKLY  hopes  and  plans  to  do  its 
part.  It  recognizes  that  a  trade  journal  must 
both  follow  and  lead,  in  sympathy  with  pres- 
ent methods,  and  looking  forward  to  a  future 
of  better  methods  and  larger  achievements. 
Those  who  thru  its  columns  are  doing  what 
they  can  in  this  service  will  hope  that  when 
the  labor  of  each  comes  to  an  end  their  suc- 
cessors at  the  end  of  the  first  century  of  the 
existence  of  the  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY  may 
have  earned  in  larger  proportion  the  apprecia- 
tion which  the  book-trade  has  increasingly 
shown  for  the  efforts  of  the  past. 


The  College  Text  Book 
Problem 

AFIELD  of  book  distribution  that  is 
important  in  its  gross  amount  but  dif- 
ferent in  almost  all  its  aspects  from 
the  general  trade  distribution  is  that  of  the 
college  textbooks.  These  do  not  have  just 
the  same  channels  for  selling  as  the  grade 
books,  which  are  in  a  large  percentage  of 
cases  sold  on  state  contract.  There  "is  much 
more  individuality  in  the  colleges  in  their 
selection  of  texts ;  aad  the  problem  of  pre- 
senting these  texts  and  of  getting  smooth- 
running  distribution  after  they  are  accepted 
is  a  difficult  one.  We  print  in  this  number 
a  paper  on  this  subject  by  Frederick  D.  Hart- 
man,  a  previous  contributor,  who  feels  that 
the  dealer  could  take,  to  the  advantage  of  all, 
a  much  more  prominent  part  in  the  promo- 
tion plans  in  this  field.  Mr.  Hartman's 
experience  has  been  in  Canada,  and  the 
PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY  would  welcome  further 
discussion  of  this  important  problem.

Sccond  Year

,,r.  He  is  still  in  health  and 
and  with  keen  interest  in  affairs,  tho 
with  hcarintr  somewhat  and  vision  slightly  im- 
paired. It  still  delights  him  to  recall  the 
olden  times  in  the  Broadway  store  at  \\ash- 
itiKf>n  I'lacr.  where  A.  D.  S.  Randolph  was 
ml  the  hook-trade  in  general  was 
rontercd  in  the  neighborhood,  tho  these  old 
times  are  seen  thru  a  vista  of  years  which 
few  men  have  known.  He  retains  his  old 
home  at  24  West  ;ist  Street,  within  walking 
distance  of  the  Fifth  Avenue  store  which  he 
still  occasionally  visits,  and  not  long  since  he 
courteously  opened  the  door  as  a  youthful 
visitor  of  seventy-three  departed  and  said 
good-bye  with  the  cheerful  word  that  he  had 
told  Mr.  Macrae  at  luncheon  that  he  had 
hegun  to  consider  himself  old  but  meant  to 
start  a  reformation  at  once  and  not  feel 
old  any  more. 

Mr.  Macrae  has  had  his  residence  with  Mr. 
Dutton,  while  the  daughter  has  been  at  col- 
nd  the  two  Macrae  boys  have  been  mak- 
ing r<  'ke  their  places  in  the  Dutton 
concern,  to  which  one  of  them,  John  Macrae, 
Jr..  has  come  during  the  past  year,  while  the 
younger  boy,  Elliott  Beach  Macrae,  will  take 
up  his  work  in  October,  1922. 

One  of  Mr.  Dutton's  most  interesting  remi- 
niscences is  of  the  lad  who  nearly  forty  years 
ago  came  to  him  from  Virginia.  A  naval 
officer  living  at  Washington  entered  the  store 
and  asked  if  place  could  not  be  found  there  for 
a  lad  of  his  acquaintance  who  wanted  to  find 
opportunity  in  New  York.  Mr.  Dutton  saw 
no  reason  why  he  should  look  with  favor  upon 
a  youth  from  so  far  away.  The  officer  made 
a  yearly  visit  to  Xew  York  and  came  a  sec- 
ond time  to  the  Dutton  store,  but  again  re- 
ceived a  negative  reply.  A  third  year  he  came 
again  and  snid  that  if  the  boy  could  be  given 
a  chance  he  would  make  good  for  the  hoy's 
expense,  if  he  did  not  make  good  for  himself. 
Mr.  Dutton  yielded,  and  at  eighteen  young 
Macrae  came  into  the  Dutton  employ  under 
the  immediate  supervision  of  Charles  A.  Clapp, 
the  junior  partner.  The  lad  frequently  took 
a  bundle  of  catalogs  home  with  him  at  night. 
despite  the  renu.nstranre  of  the  other  juniors 
that  the  'lay's  work  was  ended.  He  told  them 
that  he  wanted  to  learn  all  that  he  could  about 
the  stock  and  bookselling,  and  it  came  about 
that  when  Mr.  CJapp  wanted  particulars  about 
the  stock  it  was  to  young  Macrae  that  he 
always  turned.  There  came  sudden  need  for 
a  traveler  to  make  a  western  round,  and  when 
Macrae  was  piven  the  opportunity  he  made 
good  by  bringing  in  a  bigger  order  than  any 
of  his  predecessor^  Then  came  the  need  fo- 
<omeonr  to  make  a  journey  across  sea.  and 
again  it  was  youne  Macrae  who  had  won  the 
chance.  At  once  he  made  friends  in  London 
and  was  wlri-.med.  not  only  to  the  offices,  'nit 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 

to  the  homes  of  London  publishers  and  began 
to  establish  the  relations  abroad  which  have 
since  flowered  into  so  great  a  development 
for  the  Dutton  house. 

Mr.  Dutton  feels  that  it  was  a  special  Provi- 
dence which  sent  the  lad  to  him,  for  in  these 
declining  years— if  the  adjective  can  be  used 
.  ,f  a  man  still  looking  upward — Mr.  Macrae 
has  been  his  mainstay  as  now  the  active  head 
of  the  successful  and  vastly  increased  busi- 
ness of  E.  P.  Dutton  &  Company,  as  well  as 
a  close  personal  friend.  It  is  not  always  that 
such  reward  comes  to  a  man  for  good  deeds 
as  has  come  to  Mr.  Dutton  in  this  happy 
relationship. 

Photo-Engraving  Lock-out 

THE  agreement  between  the  employers  and 
employees  in  the  photo-engraving  field  of 
New  York  came  to  an  end  on  December 
3 1st,  and,  as  no  agreement  had  been  reached  for 
an  extension  of  arrangements,  the  shops  were 
closed  and  notices  posted  which  shut  down  the 
work  for  about  fifteen  hundred  men.  The  em- 
ployers insisted  that  a  new  arrangement  must 
be  made  that  provided  for  sortie  lower  scales  of 
wage  or  an  extension  of  the  working  week  to 
forty-eight  hours.  The  men  contend  that  the 
present  wage  scale  is  fair  and  must  be  continued 
if  they  are  to  keep  at  work.  The  strike  has 
affected  only  the  commercial  establishments,  as 
the  newspaper  engravers  are  under  another  con- 
tract. The  dispatches  from  Chicago  from  the 
officials  of  the  Photo  Engravers'  Union  say  that 
they  expect  the  lock-out  will  become  general  and 
that  action  similar  to  that  in  New  York  may 
be  expected  next  week. 

It  was  in  this  industry  in  New  York  where 
the  Union  claimed  for  a  time  the  right  to  set 
the  price  at  which  the  employers  should  sell 
their  product  to  the  consumer.  They  did  this  on 
the  argument  that  union  men  who  want  the  best 
conditions  could  not  afford  to  work  in  a  shop 
that  sold  its  product  for  less  than  a  certain 
fixed  figure  and  that  therefore  in  the  interest 
of  their  craft  they  had  the  right  to  dictate  the 
price  to  consumers.  Thlis  situation,  which  would 
if  carried  into  other  industries  have  revolution- 
ized American  industry,  was  made  illegal  by  a 
bill  passed  in  the  last  New  York  legislature. 

Shops  now  find  that  even  with  these  discounts 
they  cannot  hold  the  business  in  New  York  un- 
der the  present  wage  scale.  The  difficulty  in 
handling  business,  they  say,  has  been  increased 
by  the  fact  that  the  present  wage  scale  of  fifty 
dollars  is  increased  in  practice  by  the  fact  that 
members  of  the  Union  will  not  consent  to  work 
at  this  figure,  and  the  shops  claim  that  when 
they  telephone  for  a  man  to  Union  headquarters 
the  report  is  made  that  there  are  no  men  to 
work  at  the  contract  figure,  as  all  are  demand- 
ing more.  This  same  reply  is  made,  so  the 
employers  say,  even  tho  it  is  welt  known  that 
well  over  a  hundred  men  have  been  out  of 
employment. 

Conferences  are  now  in  progress  between  the 
Photo  Engravers'  Board  of  Trade  and  the 
Photo  Engravers'  Union  Number  One,  and  it  is 
hoped  that  a  settlement  wfill  shortly  be  reached.

The  College  Text  Book  Situation 

By  Frederick  Deane  Hartman 


ii'T'HE  most  persistently   and   consistently 

I    annoying   source  of   perpetual   unsatis- 

factonness  1  ever  thought  could  exist," 

was   the   reply  one   college  professor  gave  me 

in  answer  to  my  inquiry  as  to  what  he  thought 

of   the  present  methods  of   supplying   college 

text  books." 

"An  infernal  nuisance — requiring  continual 
attention — lots  of  complaint  and  n9  money!" 
This  is  what  the  dealer  who  supplied  the  in- 
stitution with  which  the  above  mentioned  pro- 
fessor was  associated  had  to  say  of  the  situa- 
tion. 

"College  text  books !  I  would  give  anything 
if  we  didn't  have  to  publish  them.  There  i-> 
more  trouble  and  less  money  in  that  department 
of  our  business  than  in  all  of  the  rest  of  the 
departments  put  together."  This  came  from 
the  head  of  the  publishing  house  which  supplied 
the  majority  of  the  books  used  by  the  above 
mentioned  dealer. 

I  have  given  these  quotations  because  they 
quite  well  represent  the  respective  points  of 
view  held  by  the  persons  chiefly  concerned  in 
the  college  text  book  question.  It  should  per- 
haps be  added  that  probably  the  view  expressed 
by  this  publisher  is  only  held  by  those  pub- 
lishers who  do  not  specialize  on  educational 
publications  and  have  relatively  few  college 
texts  on  their  lists. 

W'ere  this  the  situation  with  any  other  line 
of  book  publishing  the  line  would  be  promptly 
dropped,  but.  of  course,  it  is  recognized  that 
college  text  books  are  essential  and  must  be 
supplied.  The  responsibility  therefore  prima- 
rily lies  with  the  publishers  to  study  the  causes 
of  all  this  dissatisfaction  and  do  what  may  be 
possible  to  remedy  the  situation. 

The  first  point  to  come  up  for  consideration 
is  an  analysis  of  the  different  methods  of  col- 
lege text  book  distribution  now  in  vogue. 

(a)  The   most    usual    method    of   handling 
college  texts  is  for  some  dealer,  who  specially 
caters  to  the  student  trade,  to  assume  the  re- 
sponsibility of  keeping  informed  as  to  the  books 
recommended     for    adoption    in    the    various 
courses,  and  nlso  assume  some  of  the  responsi- 
bilitv  of  introducing  the  publishers'  new  texts 
to  the  professors  and  securing  new  adoptions. 

(b)  In   a  number  of  instances  the  institu- 
tional   authorities    appoint    from   one   to    three 
deserving  and  needy  students  for  period?  vary- 
ing   from    one    to    four    years    to    handle    this 
business.      As    a    rule,   the   institution  assumes 
responsibility   for  the   accounts   and  keeps  the 
records.    The  students,  of  course,  must  arrange 
to  do  all  the  work  outside  their  study  hours 
and   their   interest  in   the  development   of   the 
business  is  only  temporary. 

(c)  In     other     instances    an    appointee     is 
chosen  by  the  institution  who  holds  the  position 
more  or  less  permanently.     Such  a  man  is  as- 
sured of  all  the  institutional  natronage  and  is 
Lruaranteed  the  co-operation  of  the  professors. 


Such  an  appointee  must,  as  a  rule,  supply  his 
own  financial  backing.  He  feels  himself  to 
'be  in  a  very  independent  position,  for  he  is 
practically  protected  from  any  competition. 

(d)  In   the  case  of   many  smaller   institu- 
tions, particularly  those  located  in  small  com- 
munities,   the    institution    itself    does    the   pur- 
chasing of  the  texts  and  sells  them  to  the  stu- 
dents. 

(e)  In  a  very  few  instances  at  the  begin- 
ning of  each  term  the  publishers  have  a  rep- 
resentative on  hand  who  sells  directly  to  the 
students  their  requirements.     Between  the  rep- 
resentative's   visits,    the    professors    purchase 
direct  any  books  needed.    This  method  of  prac- 
tice is  now  quite  rare. 

(f)  In  many  places  there  have  been  tried 
various     forms     of     "Students'     Co-operative 
Stores"    in   which  the   capital   is    drawn    from 
the  students,  who  purchase  their  tickets  varying 
in  cost  from  five  to  twenty  dollars  each.     At 
the  end   of   each   academic   year   the   students 
receive   that    share   of   the   profits   which   the 
number  of   tickets   to  which  they  hold   would 
entitle  them.     It  may  be   added   that   due  to 
inefficient  management  the  rebates  are  usually 
microscopic. 

There  are  several  other  different  methods  in 
practice  for  handling  college  texts,  but  they 
are  all  more  or  less  modifications  of  one  of 
these  already  outlined. 

We  shall  now  examine  the  manner  in  which 
these  various  methods  work  in  actual  practice. 
Let  us  start  with  the  ease  in  which  texts  are 
distributed  thru  a  retail  dealer.  Such  a  dealer 
may  or  may  not  be  a  lover  of  books  with  a 
sense  of  discrimination  and  literary  discern- 
ment. Most  generally  he  is  not — so  that  he 
does  not  find  a  very  sympathetic  listener  when 
he  goes  to  introduce  new  texts  to  a  professor, 
and  tries  to  procure  new  adoptions.  It  is  hard 
to  say  whether  it  is  better  to  have  a  dealer 
with  literary  tastes  or  not,  for  so  frequently 
those  who  have  prove  a  dismal  failure  as  a 
business  executive.  At  any  rate,  a  combina- 
tion of  business  ability  and  keen  literarv  dis- 
cernment is  exceedingly  rare.  This  dealer 
whom  we  are  describing  handles  the  publica- 
tions of  a  dozen  or  more  publishers.  As  a 
rule,  he  does  all  the  buying  himself.  He  car- 
ries a  broad  stock,  including  countless  station- 
ery items,  and  makes  a  strong  play  for  general 
trade  to  supplement  the  very  seasonal  college 
text  business.  He  is  the  direct  recioient  of  all 
complaints  of  the  students  which  chiefly  refer 
to  the  cost  of  the  books.  An  average  student 
unhesitatingly  brands  as  a  robber  anyone 
charging  over  two  dollars  for  a  book.  The 
dealer  is  very  apt  to  become  guided  in  his 
recommendations  to  professors  by  the  retail 
price  and  thus  frequently  urges  the  adoption 
of  a  very  inferior  book,  thus  arousing  the  sus- 
picion of  the  professor,  who  feels  there  must 
be  some  graft  in  the  air,  and  promptly  loses 


i8 

confidence  in  the  dealer  altogether.  This  ten- 
dency towards  a  suspicious  attitude  toward  the 
dealer  by  professors  is  further  fostered  by 
the  tact  that  the  dealer  must  charge  professors 
hill  list  price  lor  books,  whereas  the  professors 
iiml  that  1>>  communicating  direct  with  the 
publishers  they  either  get  the  desired  books 
free  or,  at  least  less,  at  a  20  per  cent  discount. 
The  dealer  docs  not  maintain  a  staff  whicli 
will  permit  him  to  give  good  educational  serv- 
ice. It  is  quite  common  for  dealers  to  accept 
order-  tin-  name  of  the  publisher  of 

which  they  do  not  know.  If  the  firm  receiving 
this  order  does  not  pick  it  up  for  the  dealer, 
then  the  matter  usually  is  dropped,  and  unless 
the  customer  placing  the  order  does  not  inquire 
he  will  never  hear  of  the  matter  again. 

In  the  cases  in  which  text  book  business  «s 
handled  by  students  appointed  by  the  institu- 
tional authorities  the  objections  cited  in  the 
case  of  the  ordinary  dealer  all  hold  the  more 
strongly,  as  such  appointees  have  only  a  tempo- 
rary interest  in  the  business  and  are  very  re- 
stricted in  the  amount  of  time  they  have  avail- 
able. 

When  a  permanent  appointment  is  made  by 
the  institution  the  greatest  trouble  arises  from 
the  appointee's  sense  of  security  in  his  posi- 
tion. He  does  not  feel  the  necessity  of  learning 
far  enough  in  advance  the  requirements  of  the 
classes.  He  knows  that  if  one  book  is  not 
available  when  the  time  comes  another 
will  be  used,  and  in  either  case  they  will  be 
supplied  thru  him.  In  short,  he  places  the 
entire  responsibility  upon  the  publisher  of  keep- 
ing a  stock  of  all  the  books  listed  bound  up 
and  ready  for  shipment.  The  publishers,  how- 
ever, have  taken  rather  a  broader  view  of  the 
situation,  and  in  order  to  keep  the  costs  of 
texts  down  have  tried  to  anticipate  the  exact 
requirements  and  not  have  the  expense  of  enor- 
mous stocks  in  their  warehouses. 

The  remaining  instances  cited  under  para- 
graphs "d,"  "e,"  and  "f"  are  so  closely  related 
to  the  preceding  case,  in  so  far  as  their  objec- 
tionable features  are  concerned,  that  we  need 
not  find  it  necessary  to  repeat. 

The  whole  difficulty  lies  in  the  fact  that  in 
the  rapid  development  of  the  universities,  pub- 
lishing houses,  and  dealers  each  has  considered 
its  own  problems  alone  without  giving  proper 
consideration  to  the  requirements  and  develop- 
ment of  the  other. 

With  the  great  increase  in  the  number  of 
elective  r<>iir-rs  in  the  college  and  university 
came,  of  course,  the  demand  for  many  more 
and  more  varied  texts.  In  order  to  meet  this 
demand  the  publishers  necessarily  had  to  make 
provision  to  stnclv  the  situation  and  also  create 
a  department  to  cover  the  field.  With  the 
creation  of  a  new  course  at  n  university  ami 
the  necessity  of  a  suitable  text  being  supplied, 
a  publisher  undertakes  the  responsibility.  He 
must,  in  order  not  to  lose  money,  get  the  book 
into  use  elsewhere  and  originally  put  it  up  to 
the  dealer.  Tn  this  reeard  it  must  be  said 
that  it  would  seem  that  many  dealers  have 
hwi  rather  short-sighted,  for  it  can  be  truth- 
fully stated  that  rrry  Trry  few  are  the  college 
textual  adoptions  procured  as  a  result  of  anv 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 

dealer's  efforts.  In  the  first  place,  as  before 
stated,  the  dealer  may  not  be  fitted  for  such 
work — not  have  the  time,  etc.  At  any  rate, 
the  promotion  work  has  been  left  entirely  to 
the  publisher  who  does  his  work  thru  the 
college  professors.  It  is,  of  course,  out  of  the 
question  to  expect  a  college  professor  to  buy 
every  book  he  may  consider  for  use — he  is 
accordingly  presented  with  a  copy.  This  prac- 
tice is  a  great  source  of  annoyance  to  most 
dealers,  who  cannot  see  that  in  reality  the 
professors  are  the  salesmen  for  college  texts 
and  the  more  that  is  done  to  get  texts  into  the 
hands  of  professors  the  greater  is  bound  to  be 
the  demand  for  those  books. 

Coincident  with  the  growth  of  the  dealers' 
disapproval  of  this  attitude  of  publishers  to- 
wards college  professors  has  been  the  growth 
of  the  attitude  on  the  part  of  dealers  that  all 
promotion  work  and  responsibility  for  the  crea- 
tion of  demand  for  all  books  shall  rest  with  the 
publisher.  The  publishers  have  more  or  less 
come  to  recognize  this  as  the  case  and  accepted 
the  situation.  This  necessitates  the  publishers 
carrying  a  staff  capable  of  handling  this  work 
and  the  reason  there  still  exists  so  much  dis- 
satisfaction is  because  the  publishers  do  not 
assume  full  reponsibility  for  the  college  text 
service,  as  the  retailer  maintains  more  or  less 
the  attitude  that  his  territory  is  being  en- 
croached upon.  The  very  fact  that  most  of 
the  publicity  on  texts  goes  out  directly  from 
the  publisher  tends  to  make  the  professors 
forget  the  dealer's  place  in  the  general  book 
distribution. 

There  can  be,  it  seems  to  me,  two  general 
solutions.  One  would  be  very  difficult  to  ac- 
complish and  mean  a  very  radical  change, 
namely,  to  have  the  retailers  take  over  the 
educational  promotion  of  all  the  publishers. 
To  bear  this  additional  expense  they  would,  of 
course,  have  to  procure  the  books  at  much 
lower  rates,  for  in  the  present  situation  it  is 
very  difficult  for  the  dealer  to  net  much,  if 
anything,  on  the  strictly  educational  lines. 

The  more  practical  plan  for  improving  the 
situation  would  be  to  have  an  understanding 
with  the  professors  and  dealers  that  the  service 
on  college  texts  should  come  exclusively  thru 
the  educational  department  of  the  publishers, 
who  would  do  all  the  work  of  getting  the  in- 
formation on  future  requirements,  securing  new 
adoptions,  etc.  When  the  educational  depart- 
ment received  the  information  relative  to  texts 
to  be  used,  etc.,  the  matter  could  be  referred 
to  the  respective  dealer  and  the  stock  for- 
warded. It  may  be  objected  that  this  is  vir- 
tually the  present  practice,  but  that  is  not 
true,  because  the  final  word  in  the  matter  of 
adoption  is  left  with  the  professor  to  give  the 
dealer.  The  professors  are  inclined  to  neglect 
this  until  rather  late,  as  thev  know  the  dealer 
is  always  available  and  can  be  seen  any  time — 
or  else  they  think  the  publisher  will  see  the 
dealer,  etc.  The  one  sure  thins:  is  that  con- 
fusion results.  Tn  my  proposed  suggestion  it 
would  be  necessary  first  to  make  clear  to  pro- 
fessors the  real  necessity  of  the  publisher  beini? 
in  constant  possession  of  the  nroeress  of  the 
college  courses  and  knowing  long  in  advance 


January  7,  1922 


the  book  to  be  recommended  and  so  far  as 
possible  the  number  required.  It  is  true  that 
publishers  are  inclined  to  forget  that  a  pro- 
fessor cannot  tell  exactly  how  many  pupils 
will  elect  a  given  course  or,  even  so,  how  many 
of  these  will  be  supplied  with  second-hand 
texts.  However,  by  co-operation  the  require- 
ments can  be  pretty  well  approximated.  In 
this  plan  the  dealer  would  be  absolutely  re- 
lieved of  any  responsibilitv  of  getting  adoptions 
or  anticipating  requirements.  As  to  the  actual 
method  in  which  the  publishers  and  professors 
should  carry  on  their  co-operation,  it  would  seem 
that  matters  would  be  expedited  if  each  college 
department  gave  a  monthly  report  of  the  texts 
used  in  the  various  courses,  the  reference  books 


recommended,  the  relative  satisfaction  of  books 
used,  new  recommendations  and  the  number  of 
students  in  the  course. 

True,  this  requires  considerable  time  to  be 
given  by  the  professors,  but  their  co-operation 
could  unquestionably  be  procured  if  It  were 
made  clear  to  them  that  such  effort  would 
result  in  better  service  and  cheaper  books. 

The  publishers  in  the  possession  of  such  in- 
formation could  have  no  excuse  for  not  being 
prepared  and  the  dealer  could  have  no  com- 
plaint against  the  commission  on  educational 
books,  with  all  the  responsibility  removed.  It 
would,  in  effect,  amount  to  their  receiving  the 
books  on  consignment. 


Copyright  Discussion 


THE  mid-winter  meetings  of  the  American 
Library  Association  with  important  action 
by  the  Council  met  at  Chicago*  on  Decem- 
ber 2O.th,  3Oth  and  3ist.  Two  resolutions  of- 
fered, with  consequent  discussion  and  decision, 
were  of  special  interest  to  the  book-trade,  that 
on  library  revenues  and  that  on  copyright  legis- 
lation. The  special  committee  on  library  rev- 
enues, with  Samuel  H.  Ranck,  librarian  of 
Grand  Rapids,  as  Chairman,  brought  in  a  reso- 
lution containing  recommendations  in  regard  to 
a  better  standard  of  library  appropriations,  put- 
ting the  weight  of  the  Association's  opinion 
back  of  a  plan  advocating  at  least  one  dollar 
per  capita  for  any  community  that  wanted  ade- 
quate service.  After  some  discussion  as  to 
whether  one  dollar  per  capita  would  be  suit- 
able service  for  both  large  and  small  communi- 
ties, the  resolution  was  passed  in  the  following 
form: 

Submitted  by  Samuel  H.  Ranck,  Chairman. 

"The  American  Library  Association  believes 
that  $i  per  capita,  of  the  population  of  the 
commiunity  served,  is  a  reasonable  minimum 
annual  revenue  for  the  library  in  communities 
desiring  to  maintain  a  good  modern  public 
library  system  with  trained  librarians.  This 
sum  should  cover  a  main  library  with  reading 
room  facilities,  branch  libraries  and  reading 
rooms  within  easy  reach  o*f  all  the  people,  a 
registration  of  card  holders  equal  to  at  least 
thirty  per  cent  of  the  population,  and  a  con- 
siderable collection  of  the  more  expensive 
books  of  reference,  with  a  home  use  of  about 
five  volumes  per  capita.  This  allowance  of  per 
capita  revenue  may  need  modification  in  the 
case  of  the  very  small  or  very  large  communi- 
ties, or  which  are  otherwise  exceptional.  Small 
communities  may  often  obtain  increased  library 
service  for  the  same  money  per  capita  by  en- 
larging the  area  of  administration.  The  situa- 
tion in  large  communities  is  often  modified  .by 
the  presence  of  good  endowed  libraries  free  for 
public  use.  Communities  desiring  their  libra- 
ries to  supply  these  needs  extensively  and  with 
the  highest  grade  of  trained  service,  will  find 
it  necessary  to  provide  a  support  much  larger 
than  the  minimum  of  $i  per  capita.  This 


should  cover  extension  work  sufficient  to  bring 
home  to  the  children,  the  foreign-speaking  peo- 
ple, business  men,  artisans,  advanced  students, 
public  officials,  and  in  general  all  classes  of  the 
people,  the  opportunities  that  such  a  library  is 
not  only  ready  but  is  able  to  afford,  with  a 
service  that  is  administered  by  trained  libra- 
rians having  special  knowledge  in  their  par- 
ticular departments. 

"The  Committee  recommends  that  further 
study  be  given  to  the  whole  subject  of  adequate 
support  for  high  school  and  grade  school  libra- 
ries, and  for  college  and  university  libraries, 
to  be  based  on  a  knowledge  of  the  existing 
situation  with  reference  to  such  libraries." 

The  copyright  situation  was  given  discussion 
based  on  a  resolution  presented  by  Dr.  M. 
Llewellyn  Raney,  Librarian  of  Johns  Hopkins 
University,  and  Chairman  of  the  A.  L.  A. 
Committee  on  Book  Buying.  This  resolution 
takes  issue  with  the  Bill  which  is  about  to  be 
introduced  in  Congress.  Frederic  G.  Melcher 
represented  the  publishers  in  the  discussion  and 
argued  for  the  Bill  as  drawn.  All  agreed  that 
the  United  States  should  be  a  member  of  the 
Berne  Convention,  but  the  Bill  provides  that 
American  publishers  shall  have  full  rights  to 
the  American  market  on  any  foreign  book  which 
they  contract  for,  and  the  librarians  are  against 
any  feature  that  will  prevent  them  from  buy- 
ing any  book  in  any  market.  The  resolution  as 
drafted  and  printed  below  was  carried,  and 
the  discussion  will  be  carried  before  the  Con- 
gressional Committee. 

Resolution  Offered  by  Dr.  Raney. 

"Whereas,  The  Authors'  League  of  America 
proposes  national  legislation,  including  repeal 
of  the  so-called  'manufacturing  clause'  in  the 
present  copyright  law,  in  order  to  pave  the  way 
for  the  United  States'  entry  into  the  Interna- 
tional Copyright  Union;  and 

"Whereas,  The  American  Publishers'  Copy- 
right League  (now  the  Bureau  of  Copyright 
of  the  National  Association  of  Book  Publish- 
ers) went  on  official  record  at  its  last  session 
as  supporting  such  legislation  only  on  condi- 
tion that  libraries  and  persons  be  prohibited  by

you    making    a    sericnis    attempt    to    supply    the 
nerds,  also  the  wants,  of  your  community? 

"The  J.  K.  Gill  Co.  has  been  known  for 
years  as  a  place  \\  here  books  are  bought  and 
sold  no  doubt  founded  on  honesty  and  probity, 
otherwise  the  business  could  not  endure  and

ployer as  he  is  with  you.  Are  yon  delivering 
daily  or  just  getting  by?  Let  us  consider  a 
few  minutes  'How'! 

"I  remember  an  incident  which  occurred 
v>m<-  time  ago.  Swift,  the  author  of  'Psy- 
chology' anil  'Daxs  Work.'  was  drawing  me 
out  alonir  my  line.  'Selling.'  and  I  said,  '1  im- 
'I  on  the  youth  I  was  attempting  to

iled,  objected,  and  said.  That  is  not  all.' 
I  replied.  'No,  but  it  is  fundamental.'

The   moment   anyone   enters   your  door   the 

object  of  his  earning  is  to  buy  something.    That 

is   the   reason    the   public   enter.     You   do   not 

out  nnd  bring  them  willy  nilly.     No!    Thev 

»?me    '"   toiv.      Then    what    is   'your  attitude5

fhrv  are  regular  bookbuyers  you  are  on 


the  scales  and  are  being  weighed.  If  not,  the*, 
may  be  fearful  of  this  high-brow  place.  And 
it  all  depends,  on  your  attitude  toward  the 
seeker  alter  knowledge — what  you  impart — 
what  air  or  tone  you  take.  Have  you  one 
approach  for  society  people  and  another  for 
the  toiler?  If  so,  why?  Do  you  feel  it  neces- 
sary in  selling  fiction  or  literature.  1  mean 
anything  not  founded  on  the  exact  science,  to 
have  an  opinion  and  back  your  opinion  by  sell- 
ing or  ignoring  the  book  or  books  in  question? 
If  so,  what  is  the  value  of  your  opinion  hi 
dollars  and  cents  to  your  employer,  who  has 
bis  money  invested?  Every  book  purchased 
by  your  firm  must  have  passed  a  test  'of  the 
publisher  and  his  advertisers'  and  of  'the  head 
of  your  department,'  that  should  be  all  that 
is  necessary  for  you  who  act  as  distributing 
agent.  If  you  are  interested  in  a  book  for  any 
reason  naturally  it  is  easier  for  you  to  en- 
thuse and,  as  we  say,  'Hand  it  out,'  but  what 
about  the  other  nine  or  nine  and  ninety? 

"Make  an  honest  effort  to  see  why  it  is  pub- 
lished. You  are  not  the  judge  of  the  picture, 
but  the  picture  is  the  judge  of  you.  Apply 
that  to  your  book. 

"And  then  when  you  reach  that  wonderful, 
glorious  and  most  enviable  position  that  yon 
can  fit  the  book  to  the  man,  you  will  say  with 
pardonable  pride:  'I  have  arrived.' 

"In  dealing  with  your  people  after  they  have 
bought  what  they  came  in  for  you  must  sell 
them  something  else  to  be  of  any  value  to  your 
firm,  and  to  do  that  you  must  know  your  stock 
and  remember  the  fundamentals  : 

Attract  attention, 
Arouse  interest, 
Create  desire, 
Incite  action. 

•"How  shall  yon  know  your  stock  or  become  - 
acquainted  with   it?     Study. 

"Read  your  trade  papers,  read  reviews- 
assimilate  one  thought  that  you  will  always 
connect  with  that  book.  Take  a  moment  when 
dusting  or  arranging  stock  to  familiarize  your- 
self with  at  least  one  statement  made  by  the 
publisher  on  the  flap  of  the  cover  and  make 
that  your  sub-title. 

"Do  not  make  the  mistake  of  recommending 
too  many  so  that  your  client  is  unable  to  see 
the  wood  for  the  trees.  Yon  have  in  the  be- 
ginning the  confidence  of  the  purchaser,  a

comes  to  you  because  he  thinks  you  know. 
Live  up  to  it. 

"Is  it  not  true,  that  the  public  judge  you 
by  your  ability  to  help  them?  What  a  help 
you  can  be  by  knowing  or  even  suggesting 
what  a  potential  power  for  good  your  book- 
store is  in  the  community  and  you  the  indi- 
vidual to  make  it  so.  Many  judge  the  city 
by  the  bookstore.  Many  consider  the  book- 
store a  civic  institution  and  point  to  the  book- 
store with  pride.  J.  K.  Gill  Co.  is  known 
favorably  or  otherwise  by  the  individual  who 
comes  in  contact  with  the  public;  therefore. 
it  behooves  you  to  give  the  best  that  is  in  you 
so  that  the  public  will  be  pleased  and  helped 
by  your  individual  efforts."

Zona  Gale  Predicts  the  Novel 
of  Tomorrow 

'«'  I  "HE  chief  course  of  the  novel  of  tcnnor- 

1  row  is  to  uncover  commonplace  beauty,  as 
today  it  is  uncovering  cc/mmonplace  ugliness," 
said  Miss  Zona  Gale,  the  author  of  "Miss  Lulu 
Bett,"  in  a  talk  Sunday  evening  at  Unity  Fo- 
rum. Montclair,  New  Jersey. 

"Criticism  of  the  new  American  novel  often 
amounts  to  a  dislike  of  the  book  because  it  is 
not  about  pleasant  people.  The  person  who 
dc/es  not  like  a  book  because  he  would  not 
like  the  people  is  to  be  classed  with  the  de- 
votee of  the  motion  picture  or  the  barrel  or- 
gan— for  I  purposely  link  those  two. 

"The  hope  of  the  novel  today  is  to  see  the 
least  attractive  thing.  To  hate  the  sinner  has 
been  the  old  order ;  while  to  hate  the  sin  and 
to  love  the  sinner  is  the  word  of  tomorrow. 
The  custom  of  the  ncA-elist  is  to  pick  out  a 
single,  noble,  fallen  soul  and  to  idealize  him. 
The  men  of  the  new  fiction  contend  chiefly  in 
commonplace  circumstances  and  do  not  always 
win. 

"Recognition  of  the  value  of  the  common- 
place and  a  tardy  turning  to  native  sources  ai 
supply  are  characteristics  of  the  present  day 
novel.  The  malady  of  the  American  novel  is 
the  lack  of  beauty  as  a  force. 

"Our  novels  are  scattered  over  with  beauti- 
ful passages,  but  the  warp  and  woof  of  beauty 
we  do  not  weave.  This  is  the  whole  reason  for 
the  novel — today  to  look  for  ugliness  and  hate 
it ;  tomorrow  to  look  for  beauty  and  find  it."

In  the  Field  of  the  Retailer 


MK.-v  (H.IVK  KOBKRTS  BARTON  ENTERTAINS  VISITORS  AT   MARSHALL  FIELD  S,  CHICAGO 


MRS.  ol.IVK  KOHKRTS  BARTON,  the 
creator  of  the  two  new  children  in  fic- 
ticm,  Nancy  and  Nick,  entertained  the  younger 
set  of  Chicago  at  Marshall  Field's  recently. 
There  were  several  characters  from  her  Nancy 
and  Nick  books  parading  around  in  costumes,

A  Thrift  List 

A  RENEWAL  of  the  Thrift  Week  cam- 
/xpaign,  which  has  been  held  annually  for 
several  years,  is  to  begin  on  January  I7th, 
Franklin's  birthday.  In  this  connection,  the 
American  Library  Association  has  published  an 
excellent  little  annotated  reading  list  entitled 
"Books  and  Thrift,"  edited  'by  Ruth  G. 
Nichols,  Librarian  of  the  Federal  Reserve 
Bank,  Chicago.  This  8-page  booklet  can  be 
purchased  by  booksellers  or  libraries  at  the 
rate  of  $3  per  100  or  30  copies  for  $i. 

Bookselling  in  Kilts 

IT  is  a  dull  day  nowadays  that  does  not  see 
a  new  bookshop  started.  C.  F.  B'.  tells  us 
that  Newark  now  has  a  bookstore  since  Bill 
Rankin,  an  Amherst  man,  has  started  one  at 
174  Washington  Street.  And  then  we  hear 
that  Old  Hector  MacQuarrie,  the  Laird  of 
Ulva,  has  started  a  bookshop  at  27  University 
Place.  That  interests  us  greatly,  because  Hec- 
tor, himself  a  Caledonian  of  magnificent  lin- 
eage and  astoundingly  agreeable  disposition, 
says  he  proposes  to  conduct  his  bookshop  on 
the  Scots  plan.  He  promises  to  wear  kilts 
every  Friday;  to  keep  a  tame  haggis  on  the 
premises ;  and  to  speak  the  Gaelic  for  any  cus- 
tomer who  makes  a  cash  purchase  of  over  $5. 
We  have  heard  of  bookselling  being  a  cult; 
now  it  is  also  a  kilt.

An  Uncotrected 


The  presidency  of  the  plot  tellers'  club 
goes  without  contest  to  Mrs.  Sparrow.  "Do 
you  really  think  the  countess  killed  him?"  she 
remarks,  as  her  husband  reaches  the  pithy  part 
of  the  mystery  story.  "Oh,  dear,  I  am  dying 
to.  tell  you.  It  doesn't  come  out  at  all  as 
you  expect  it  to.  You've  guessed,  of  course, 
that  the  ivory  box  hasn't  got  anything  to  do 
with  the  murder.  Have  they  caught  the  one- 
eyed  man  jet?  There.  I  shouldn't  have  told 
you,  but  he  did  it — revenge,  don't  you  see?  But 
mercy,  I  mustn't  give  the  plot  away!" 


When  Mr.  Stillwater  begins  a  book  he 
never  knows  when  he  is  going  to  finish  it,  if 
ever.  There  are  so  many  uses  to  which  his 
family  can  put  a  stray  book — to  hold  the  door 
back,  to  press  flowers  in,  to  set  the  baby  on  at 
dinner — that  he  really  ought  not  to  expect  to 
find  it  where  he  left  it.  We  show  the  nightly 
search  under  way,  just  as  Mrs.  Stillwater  re- 
members that  the  book  is  serving  in  place  of  a 
caster  under  the  'baby's  crib  and  that  therefore 
it  can't  possibly  be  touched  until  morning.

Why  Read  History? 

AC.  McLAUGHLIN,  of  the  University  of 
Chicago,  in  a  review  of  "The  Chronicles 
of  America"  issued  by  the  Yale  University 
Press,  made  this  plea  for  the  reading  of  his- 
tory in  the  New  York  Post  Literary  Review: 
"To  say  that  if  the  people  of  a  nation  are 
to  manage  its  affairs  and  determine  its  poli- 
cies they  should  know  something  of  its  his- 
tory is  simply  to  say  that  they  must  know 
its  character.  For  how  is  character  disclosed 
except  by  conduct?  The  saying  is  so  trite 
it  is  almost  valueless  and  has  long  gone  un- 
heeded. It  is  high  time  that  some  attention 
be  paid  to  it.  Those,  moreover,  who  are  fran- 
tically fearful  of  new  nostrums  and  of  vio- 
lent convulsions  in  the  body  politic  may  be 
urged  to  read  history.  It  is  quieting  to  the 
nerves ;  it  soothes  without  depressing,  but  it 
also  clears  the  vision.  It  is  good  for  the  radical 
and  the  revolutionist,  too,  because  he  gets  some 
idea  of  how  steadily  society  has  mdved  on 
from  stage  to  stage  and  how  the  past  has  in- 
sisted on  reproducing  itself  often  in  a  new 
disguise.  The  violent  reformer  will  be  less 
ready  to  husband  and  fondle  his  pet  cure-alls ; 
lie  will  find,  if  he  thoughtfully  reads,  that  the 
one  thing  we  can't  be  rid  of  is  the  past; 
it  not  only  dogs  our  footsteps,  but  we  meet 
it  face  to  face  at  the  next  turn  of  the  road ; 
and  it  simply  will  not  'be  fashioned  over  irr 
accord  with  the  dictates  of  a  formula.  His- 
tory reading  is  a  wholesome  diet  for  the  con- 
servative, for  he  will  discover  that,  while  the 
past  cannot  be  destroyed,  it  cannot  be  pre- 
served unaltered.  The  historical  minded  mart 
is  sure  of  one  thing :  the  social  order  is  going 
to  change :  for  better  or  for  worse  change  is 
coming;  life  is  a  series  of  accommodations 
and  readjustments.  The  reader  of  history 
finds  that  while  a  generation  of  men  are  anx- 
iously attentive  to  what  appears  to  be  the 
conspicuous  tendency  of  their  day  there  is  and 
lias  been  an  unseen  current  carrying  them 
towards  a  condition  they  have  not  dreamed  of. 
He  will  probably  find  that  no  generation  quite 
knows  itself,  because  its  deeper  significance 
can  be  comprehended  only  when  one  sees  its 
product,  and  the  product  is  only  fully  dis- 
closed bv  the  next  generation  or  succeeding 
stage.  The  impatient  radical  and  the  choleric 
conservative  may,  if  they  will,  from  history 
learn  modesty,  and  may  each  gather  respect 
for  the  opinion  of  the  other.  One  of  the  try- 
ing and  disturbing  manifestations  of  modern 
American'  life  is  the  mental  immobility  of 
the  conservative,  for  conservatism  so  easily 
becomes  obstinacy,  and  obstinacy  begets  intol- 
erance, and  intolerance  makes  fellowship  and 
understanding  impossible,  and  misunderstand- 
ing foments  quarrels.  Whether  we  like  it  or 
not,  changes  are  going  to  come.  Let  the  im- 
mobile minded  man  read  history;  he  is  likely 
to  find,  if  it  be  real  history,  that  he  will  be 
inclined  not  simply  to  watch  the  wake  of  the 
vessel,  but  to  peer  ahead  to  see  whither  the 
next  turn  of  the  wheel  mav  take  him."

Women  and  Bookselling 

A  Monthly  Department  of  News  and  Theory — Edited  by  Virginia  Smith  Cowpcr 


Gl-A»K«jK  Madden  Martin  (Mrs.  Attwood 
K.    Martin),    whose    new    novel,   "March 
( )n"  was  recently  published  by  Appleton, 
is  now  associate  editor  of  The  Woman  Citizen, 
in    which    slu-    is   associated   with    Mrs.    Gary 
Thomas,  Mary  Garrett  Hay  and  Dorothy  Can- 
ficl.l  Fisher. 


of  the  new  and  interesting  book  depart- 
ments which  has  been  started  within  the  last 
two  months  is  that  of  James  A.  Hearn,  West 
141!)  Street,  New  York.  This  department  is 
located  on  the  fourth  floor,  and  is  combined  with 
the  Gift  Shop. 

The  books  are  arranged  in  racks  at  the  sides 
oi  the  room,  with  tables  directly  in  front  of 
them,  while  the  centre  of  the  floor  is  given  over 
.Hoiis  types  of  merchandise  suitable  for 
presents.  All  classes  of  literature  are  included 
in  the  stock,  a  large  portion  of  which  is  given 
over  to  religious  books  and  articles.  Children's 
books  are  given  a  prominent  place,  and  they 
a  wide  variety  of  titles.  This  new  depart- 
ment is  in  charge  of  Miss  Grady,  whose  name 
is  a  new  one  to  the  'book-trade,  but  who  is,  from 
the  appearance  of  the  denartment,  going  to 
accomplish  things  worth  while. 


Marion  Cutter,  the  proprietor  of  the  Chil- 
dren's Book  Shop,  5  West  47th  Street,  is  a 
contributor  to  the  Sunday  book  page  of  the  New 
York  Tribune,  writing  on  the  subject  of  new 
books  for  children.  Her  column  is  given  one 
of  the  most  prominent  places,  and  includes  both 
chatty  criticism  and  suggestions  to  parents  for 
book  selection.  Miss  Cutter  has  recently  been 
elected  First  Vice-President  of  the  Women's 
N'ational  Book  Association. 


The  regular  monthly  meeting  of  the  Women's 
National  Book  Association  will  be  held  at  the 
Children's  Book  Shop  on  the  evening  of  Janu- 
ary 10.  h  is  requested  by  the  new  president, 
Belle  M.  Walker,  that  as  many  members  as 
]K>ssiblc  attend,  as  there  will  be  many  things 
of  interest  discussed,  among  which  is  the  pro- 
posed reduction  of  yearly  dues  from  $6  to  $3. 
the  business  mentioned,  there  will  be 
present  two  authors,  who  will  address  the  mem- 
bers.

rich  and  Sophie  Kerr  Underwood;  Dinner:

A  new  venture  in  the  world  of  books  has 
been  launched  at  2255  Broadway,  New  York, 
in  the  form  of  a  Catholic  circulating  library, 
which  includes  books  for  the  old  as  well  as 
the  young.  The  books  have  been  very  carefully 
selected,  and  include  works  bv  Catholic  and 
non-Catholic  writers.  Beatrice  Ridder  is  in 
charge,  and  her  catalog  will  include  the  best 
of  recent  books,  together  with  titles  in  his- 
tory, biography,  science,  travel,  etc.,  by  writers 
of  yesterday  and  to-day.  The  works  of  Joyce 
Kilmer,  Canon  Sheehan,  Maurice  Francis 
Kagan,  John  Ayscough  for  adults  have  been 
chosen,  together  with  stories  of  Zane  Grey, 
Eleanor  Porter,  Louisa  M.  Alcott  and  Thorn- 
ton Burgess  for  the  younger  set. 

Miss  Rlidder  has  tried  to  keep  in  mind,  wh'ile 
making  selections,  the  advice  of  a  celebrated 
man  to  his  son :  "Keep  good  company  or  none." 
There  is  also  a  plan  on  foot  to  foster  the  book- 
owning  habit,  and  books  may  be  bought  from 
the  library  as  well  as  borrowed.  If  one  does 
not  wish  to  buy  a  new  book,  those  which  have 
seen  a  reasonable  amount  of  service,  may  be 
purchased  for  a  small  sum. 


The  book  store  of  Gimbel  Brothers,  New 
York,  jn  charge  of  Alice  Dempsey,  enjoyed  an 
old-time  Christmas  "rush"  in  all  sections  of 
the  department.  This  was  especially  true  of 
the  Juvenile  section,  which  this  Christmas 
reaped  a  harvest  from  Children's  Book  Week. 
Miss  Dempsey  had  two  authors  in  her  depart- 
ment on  alternate  days  of  that  week,  who  held 
story-telling  periods.  They  were  David  Cory, 
whose  "Puss  in  Boots,  jr."  stories  are  popular 
among  children  and  Howard  Garis,  who  told 
all  about  Uncle  Wlggeley. 


The  Little  Bookstore  in  East  Sixtieth  Street, 
New  York,  has  an  attractive  correspondence 
card  that  gives  a  personal  touch  to  all  the  no- 
tices that  go  put.  This  card  is  4%  x  $l/2  and 
has  a  decorative  border  with  the  name  and  ad- 
dress of  the  shop  in  a  scroll  across  the  top. 
There  is  a  good  sized  writing  space,  and  it  can 
be  mailed  at  the  one  cent  postage  rate.  This 
forms  a  very  effective  way  of  notifying  people 
about  lxx>ks  that  have  come  to  hand  which 
should  be  of  spedial  interest  to  them. 


Sara  Teasdale  is  at  work  on  an  anthology 
of  poems  for  children,  to.be  called  "Rainbow 
Gold."  The  book  will  be  illustrated  by  Dugald 
Stewart  Walker  and  will  be  brought  out  next 
year  by  the  Macmillan  Company.  Miss  Teas- 
dale  will  include  about  seventy  poems  from 
Chaucer  to  Robert  Frost.

Obituary  Notes 

LEMUEL  W.  BANGS 

LEMUEL  VV.  BANGS  for  many  years  resident 
representative  of  Charles  Scribner's  Sons  in 
England,  died  at  his  home  in  London  on  Decem- 
ber 1 5th.  Mr.  Bangs,  who  was  born  in  New 
York  in  1840,  was  related  to  the  well-known 
family  of  auctioneers  of  literary  property.  His 
uncle,  Lemuel  Bangs  was  the  original  Bangs 
of  the  house  of  Bangs,  Merwiin  &  Company.  In 
early  manhood  he  entered  the  employ  of  the 
Scribner  house  and  in  the  course  of  time  be- 
came manager  of  the  foreign  department  which 
in  those  days  was  conducted  as  a  separate  busi- 
ness under  the  name  of  Scribner  &  Welford. 
When  Mr.  Welford,  the  resident  London  agent, 
died  in  1885,  Mr.  Bangs  became  his  successor 
and  was  permanently  stationed  there  ever  since. 
His  knowledge  of  books  and  of  publishing  con- 
ditions was  remarkable,  and  in  addition  to  the 
regular  importing  business  of  the  firm  many  im- 
portant finds  and  purchases  of  literary  rare- 
ties  have  distinguished  his  work.  In  his  long 
London  residence  he  made  a  host  of  friends 
and  was  a  well-known  figure  in  publishing 
circles.  He  was  one  of  the  comparatively  few 
American  members  of  the  Garrick  Club. 

Scrantom,  Wetmore  &  Company 
Becomes  *  'Scrantom' s  Inc." 

THE  business  of  Scrantom,  Wetmore  & 
Company,  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  has  just  been 
reorganized  and  hereafter  will  take  the  name 
of  "Scrantom's,  Incorporated." 

Albert  C.  Walker  and  Joshua  T.  Gorsline 
recently  purchased  the  interest  of  Lansing  G. 
Wetmore  in  the  partnership  and  incorporated 
the  business,  associating  with  them  as  stock- 
holders Edward  H.  Walker,  manager  of  the 
social  stationery  and  engraving  shops ;  Harry 
A.  Tompkins,  manager  of  the  commercial 
stores,  and  Frank  A.  Davis,  assistant  man- 
ager; Howard  L.  Peak,  manager  of  the  whole- 
sale department;  D.  Karl  Medcalf,  manager 
of  the  book  store.  Louis  G.  LaBorie,  manager 
of  the  sporting  goods  and  toy  shop,  and  Ernest 
E.  Gorsline  general  manager. 

The  Board  of  Directors  of  the  corporation 
will  consist  of  Albert  C.  Walker,  president: 
Joshua  T.  Gorsline,  treasurer:  Edward  H. 
Walker,  Harry  A.  Tompkins  and  Ernest  E. 
Gorsline. 

The  business  was  organized  in  May,  1868. 
by  Elbert  Henry  Scrantom,  who  with  Lansing 
G.  Wetmore  opened  a  book  and  stationery 
store  at  No.  10  State  Street,  under  the  name 
of  Scrantom  &  Wetmore.  A  year  later  Albert 
C.  Walker  was  called  from  New  York  to 
take  charge  of  the  book  business  as  a  third 
partner  and  some  years  later  the  firm  became 
Scramtom,  Wetmore  &  Company.  The  per- 
sonnel of  the  firm  remained  unchanged  until 
the  death  of  the  senior  partner,  Mr.  Scrantom. 
in  1905,  when  Joshua  T.  Gorsline,  who  had 
joined  the  company  in  1883  as  financial  man, 
entered  the  partnership. 


Reduction  in  Postage  Rates 

THE  Postmaster  General  announces  that  on 
and  after  January  i,  1922,  the  domestic  post- 
age rate  of  two  cents  an  ounce  or  fraction 
thereof  will  apply  to  letters  for  Argentine, 
Brazil,  Costa  Rica,  Ecuador.  Jamaica  and 
Martinque.  Heretofore  the  regular  rate  of  five 
cents  applied  to  these  countries. 

Communications 
Better  Pay,  Better  Work 

Albany,  27  December,  1921. 
Editor,  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY  : 

Printers  and  'binders,  especially  in  New  York 
City,  are  being  paid  more  than  ever  before.  Is 
there  no  way  to  insure  better  work  than  ever 
before? 

A  recent  small  shipment  of  books  to  this 
library  shows — 

"Letters  From  A  Cat,"  put  into  the  cover 
upside  down. 

Van  Doren's  "The  American  Novel,"  con- 
taining signature  printed  only  on  one  side. 

Rolt  Wheeler's  "Boy  With  the  U.  S.  In- 
ventors," with  fourteen  pages  printed  only  on 
one  side. 

Is  there  no  way  in  which  such  imperfections, 
and  there  are  more  of  them  than  ever  before, 
can  get  back,  in  the  way  of  penalty,  to  the  re- 
sponsible workmen? 

Very  truly  yours, 

J.  I.  WYER.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Rare  Books,  Autographs  and  Prints 


THE   United    States    Government   has    re- 
served a  plot  of  ground  at  Fort   Henry 
on  which  it  has  decided  to  erect  a  monu- 
ment   to    Francis    Scott    Key,    author    of    the 
Star  Spangled  Banner. 

Members  of  the  thirty-sixth  annual  conven- 
tion of  the  American  Historical  Association 
held  at  St.  Louis  last  month  continued  the 
advocacy  of  an  archives  building  at  Washing- 
ton for  the  safer  keeping  of  public  documents. 

Alfred  Goldsmith,  the  Lexington  Avenue 
bookseller,  has  printed  a  little  brochure  entitled, 
"A  Note  on  the  Portraits  of  Walt  Whitman," 
written  by  Sadakichi  Hartmann,  who  is  of 
the  opinion  that  the  painted  portraits  of  the 
Grey  Poet  were  not  especially  successful.  The 
best  portraits  we  have  are  undoubtedly  due 
t<>  the  art  of  photography. 

The  centenary  of  William  Collins,  the  Eng- 
lish poet  and  author  of  "The  Ode  to  the  Pas- 
sions," 'born  in  the  last  week  in  1721,  altho 
a  minor  poet,  did  not  pass  unnoticed  in  Eng- 
land. The  growing  custom  of  celebrating  the 
centenaries  of  those  who  have  rendered  con- 
spicuous service  to  literature,  art  and  science 
by  exhibitions  in  public  libraries,  addresses 
in  educational  institutions  and  tributes  to  their 
memory  in  the  press  and  periodicals  is  a  beau- 
tiful one.  In  recent  years  it  has  been  growing 
in  this  country  much  to  our  credit. 

Early  in  the  New  Year  Knight,  Frank  & 
Rutley  of  London  will  sell  the  remainder  of 
the  autographs  collected  by  Henry  G.  Bohn, 
the  famous  Victorian  publisher.  The  first  por- 
tion was  sold  some  weeks  ago  in  London  when 
the  Burns  manuscripts  brought  high  prices. 
The  coming  sale  will  be  of  special  interest  to 
Shelley  collectors,  coming  in  the  year  of  the 
centenary  of  the  poet's  death  and'  containing 
some  extraordinary  documents,  letters  and 
manuscripts,  among  them  his  will  written  at 
Geneva,  July  24.  1816,  accompanied  bv  a  letter 
providing  for  Harriet  Westbrook.  the  poet's 
first  wife,  whose  death  occured  a  few  months 
later. 

The  American  Art  Association  will  have 
several  important  print  sales  this  month.  On 
January  12  a  collection  of  etchings  and  engrav- 
ings by  Whistler,  Haden.  Haig,  Cousins.  Ward, 
Hucr  and  other  masters  will  be  sold  On 
riUi*Mr  I3  rare  Wh»stleriana  from  the  estate 
of  WilHam  Hememann.  the  London  publisher 
will  ho  sold.  This  collection  includes  etchings 
lithographs,  230  unpublished  Whistler  letters', 
books  and  brochures  relating  to  Whistler  and 
several  hundred  letters  by  notables  of  th~ 
nineteenth  century  from  the  estate  of  Thomas 
Hepp  of  Cornwall,  England,  the  collection 
of  Miss  Susan  Minns  of  Boston,  and  Svdncy 
Bawling,  a  partner  in  the  firm  of  William 
Mememann. 


The  first  book  sale  of  the  New  Year  at 
the  Anderson  Galleries  will  'be  held  January  17, 
when  the  library  of  the  late  Albert  J.  Morgan, 
of  Larchmont,  N.  Y.,  will  be  dispersed.  The 
distinctive  feature  of  the  library  is  the  many 
fine  sets  of  American,  English  and  French 
authors,  among  them  sucjh  choice  editions 
as  the  American  Statesmen  Series,  40  vols., 
Boston,  1808-1916;  a  collected  set  of  the 
first  editions  of  the  "Historical  Writings,"  of 
Martha  W.  Freer,  19  vols.,  1854-66;  Haw- 
thorne's "Writings,"  23  vols.,  Boston,  1900-02, 
autograph  edition ;  Irving's  "Complete  Works," 
40  vols.,  New  York,  1895,  author's  autograph 
edition ;  a  collected  set  of  the  first  editions 
of  the  "Historical  Writings"  of  Jesse,  23  vols., 
London.  1840-75 ;  Kipling's  "Writings."  29 
vols.,  1897-1920,  limited  Outward  Bound  edi- 
tion on  Japan  paper:  and  a  collection  of  the 
"Works"  of  Horace  Walpole  30  vols.,  London, 
1806-59. 


A  recent  issue  of  The  Irish  Times  of 
Dublin  printed  a  letter  from  a  corre- 
spondent alleging  that  a  "large  number  of 
faked  autographed  volumes"  at  the  "substan- 
tial valuations  of  the  genuine  article"  are 
"being  manufactured  for  ottr  American  cous- 
ins." The  writer  did  not  state  whether  these 
are  the  books  of  Irish  or  English  authors  or 
of  "books  ^published  in  Dublin  or  London. 
Most  well-informed  American  collectors  have 
been  growing  a  bit  cautious  in  paying  high 
prices  for  association  books  from  abroad  with- 
out being  properly  safe  guarded.  Some  of 
the  most  active  American  collectors  prefer 
to  buy  thru  a  responsible  American  dealer 
who  is  an  expert  on  books  of  this  character 
and  guarantees  the  genuineness  of  the  books  he 
sells.  If  there  is  an  error  of  the  kind  de- 
scribed it  is  easier  to  get  satisfaction  from 
a  reliable  dealer  in  New  York  than  a  fakir 
in  a  European  city. 

An  obituary  notice  of  the  late  William  F. 
Gables,  the  Pennsylvania  collector,  written 
by  Charles  F.  Hartman  and  printed  in  his  last 
sales  catalog,  has  been  the  cause  of  not  a 
little  comment.  In  the  concluding  paragraph 
in  a  few  words  addressed  directly  to  Mr. 
Gables'  son.  Mr.  Hartman  savs  that  "there 
are  a  half  dozen  booksellers  whining  around 
because  Gables  died  and  left  a  few  small  bills 
unpaid  and  they  are  worrying  as  to  how  loner 
it  will  take  the  estate  to  settle.  'Pay  the  rats 
quickly*  and  may  the  money  be  poison  to 
them."  ^  George  H.  Sargent,  of  the  Boston 
Transcript,  has  referred  to  the  incident  as  one 
of  the  "asperities  rather  than  the  amenities 
of  book  collecting."  We  do  not  know  what 
basis  Mr.  Hartman  had  for  writing  these 
words,  but  they  should  not  be  permitted  to 
create  a  wrong  impression  which  thev  might 
quite  easily  do.  William  F.  Gables  was  one 
of  the  most  constant  and  fairest  of  collectors 


January  7,  1922

He  bought  widely  from  rare  book  dealers  and 
contracted  no  bills  that  will  not  be  paid  as 
promptly  as  the  settlement  of  his  estate  will 
allow.  The  booksellers  who  knew  him  the 
best  and  had  the  largest  dealings  with  him 
are  not  giving  the  matter  any  concern.  When 
they  learn^l  of  his  death  the  first  loss  gen- 
erally mentioned  on  the  street  was  that  of  a 
true  friend — not  merely  that  of  a  good  cus- 
tomer— altho  no  bookseller  who  had  had  long 
relations  with  him  could  overlook  the  loss 
to  the  rare  book-trade  which  his  death  brought. 
The  misunderstanding  that  Mr.  Hartman's 
remarks  are  likely  to  create  may  do  him  more 
harm  than  any  one  else.  The  number  of 
booksellers  that  had  open  accounts  with  Mr. 
Gables  was  very  large  and  they  are  all  quite 
likely  to  resent  being  called  "rats"  or  being 
given  "poison."  Even  tho  Mr.  Heartman  felt 
justified  in  speaking  plainly  these  words  under 
the  circumstances  were  unfortunate  because 
they  were  so  likely  to  give  an  impression 
broader  than  intended. 

The  exhibition  of  first  editions,  association 
books,  autograph  letters,  documents  and  manu- 
scripts comprising  English  literature  from 
Chaucer  to  Conrad,  together  with  important 
smaller  collections  of  French  illustrated  books 
of  the  eighteenth  century  and  rare  Americana 
held  last  month  by  the  Rosenbach  Company 
at  273  Madison  Avenue  has  been  generally  re- 
garded as  the  finest  of  its  kind  ever  held  in 
this  country.  Most  of  the  important  authors 
in  this  long  period  of  three  centuries  were 
represented  frequently  by  their  greatest  rari- 
ties and  sometimes  by  collections  of  unrivalled 
importance.  For  instance,  in  the  case  of 
Shakespeare  there  were  the  four  folios  and 
thirty-six  quarto  plays  from  1600  to  1676. 
Dickens  was  represented  practically  by  all  of 
his  first  editions,  over  fifty  presentation  or 
association  items,  among  them  the  incompar- 
able copy  of  "Pickwick  Papers"  in  the  orig- 
inal parts  with  presentation  inscriptions  to 
Mary  Hogarth  on  fourteen  of  the  nineteen 
wrappers;  the  Thackeray  Jots,  if  less  numer- 
ous, were  extraordinary,  containing  all  of  the 
greatest  rarities  in  the  choicest  condition  and 
many  that  were  unique:  the  Shelley  items, 
too,  were  remarkable,  especially  the  associa- 
tion books,  which  included  the  poet's  own  copy 
of  the  first  edition  of  "Queen  Mab"  with 
numerous  corrections  and  changes  in  his  hand- 
writing; "Alastor."  1816,  presentation  copy  to 
Edward  Williams  who  was  drowned  with  the 
poet;  and  upwards  of  a  half  dozen  other  pre- 
sentation copies  to  his  most  intimate  friends 
including  Leigh  Hunt.  The  manuscripts  and 
autograph  letters  were  not  less  wonderful  in- 
cluding such  superlative  items  as  the  unpub- 
lished manuscript  of  Blake's  "Seven  Days  of. 
the  Uncreated  World;"  Poe's  first  draft  of 
"Morella":  Rossetti's  "William  and  Mary": 
Scotfs  "The  Minstrel  Pipe";  unpublished 
manuscripts  of  Robert  Louis  Stevenson  includ- 
ing the  short  story  "Heathercat" ;  and  others 
of  like  importance.  The  selections  from 
French  illustrated  books  were  frequently 


bound  in  full  red  morocco  of  the  period  in  the 
manner  so  prized  by  French  collectors.  The 
rare  Americana  contained  lots  of  the  greatest 
distinction  representing  a  period  of  two  and 
a  half  centuries.  For  instance  the  Lincoln 
autographic  lots  included  the  complete  manu- 
script of  his  celebrated  "Baltimore  Address" 
delivered  April  18,  1864,  and  the  original  mem- 
orandum of  a  plan  of  campaign  against  the 
Confederates  written  in  September,  1861.  The 
catalog  of  the  exhibition  contained  forty-eight 
large  octavo  pages,  closely  printed,  making 
a  mere  title  list,  containing  few  notes.  It  is 
impossible  to  give  a  fair  idea  of  the  large 
exhibit  in  limited  space.  It  was  frequently 
remarked  while  the  rarities  were  viewed  by 
collectors  familiar  with  the  best  bookshops 
of  Europe  that  no  other  dealer,  here  or  abroad, 
could  have  equalled  it  and  it  is  quite  easy  to 
believe  this  to  be  true.  F.  M.  H. 

A  Horrible  Discovery 

["Einstein's  theory  is  to  be  demonstrated  in 
film  form,  tho  hcnv  it  is  to  be  done  is  not 
explained.  The  picture  is  being  made  in  Ger- 
many by  Walter  Kornblum,  with  the  assistance 
of  Professor  Otto  Buck  and  Dr.  Fanta,  of 
Prague,  and  Dr.  Laemmel  and  Professor  G.  F. 
Nicolai,  of  Zurich." — Evening  Standard.] 

Great  Scott,  and  do  I  read  the  news  aright — 
Einstein  the  latest  film-producing  groove  is? 

Was  it  for  this  I  made  them  my  delight. 
And  forswore  even  music-halls  for  movies? 

Ts  this  the  cloud,  no  bigger  than  a  hand? 

Is  this  the  flash  that  shows  me  where  I  stand? 

I  fear  this  new  and  most  unwelcome  dish 
Prepared     by     the     abstruse     and     learned 

Teutons ; 

Instead  of  Fairbanks,  Nazimova,  Gish, 
Will  films  now  "feature"  names  like  Kant's 

or  Newton's? 

Must  algebra  and  Euclid  take  the  place 
Of  Chaplin's  antics  and  of  Pickford's  grace? 

Is  this  the  fate  prepared  for  me,  the  lamb- 
Wiho  would  not  hear  his  doom    resounding 
louder : 

Were  Gish  and  Pickford  just  the  dose  of  jam 
Designed  to  introduce  this  final  powder? 

Was  even  Chaplin  but  the  lure  that  led 

To  Einstein  and  these  other  names  of  dread? 

Back,  back  and  let  me  rescue  from  collapse 
The   stage  that  never   harbored  such   inten- 
tions, 

Which  gave  me  highbrow  problem  plays,  per- 
haps. 

But  never  stunts  involving  four  dimensions! 
Back  to  the  boards  that  Irving  trod  with  zest — 
Too  long  I've  nursed  a  viper  at  my  breast! 
Lucio  in  the  Manchester  Guardian.

Pictorial  Landscape  Photography 


BY     THE 


PHOTO-  PICTORIALISTS   OF   BUFFALO 

Here  we  hare  a  series  of  essays  produced  by  an  earnest  group  of  workers  who  have  gone 
far  in  the  production  of  photographic  landscapes  on  the  grand  scale  as  any  workers  in  the 
rld.  These  essays  express  completely  their  theory  of  the  photography  of  landscape,  their 
thod*  of  work  in  the  field,  their  technical  equipment,  the  production  of  negatives  and  the 


world 

method*  , 

making  of  finished  prints  from  them.     To  them  are  added  two  chapters  on  gum-printing  methods. 
The   full-page   illustrations   are  SJ   in   number,   illustrating   their   theories,   and   showing   what    the 
group  has  done  in  practice  in  the  production  of  pictorial  landscapes.

A  COMPANION  VOLUME 

Pictorial  Composition  in  Photography 

By  ARTHUR  HAMMOND,  Associate  Editor  of  American  Photography 

The  most  important  work  on  pictorial  composition  produced  in  recent  years  and  the  only 
one  yet  projected  which  treats  all  of  the  well  known  principles  of  pictorial  composition  in  such 
a  manner  as  to  make  them  of  primary  utility  to  the  photographer.  The  camera  demands  of 
its  practitioners  a  somewhat  different  treatment  of  pictorial  material  from  that  required  in  the 
other  graphic  arts,  and  so  this  book  will  tell  its  readers  how  to  see  landscapes,  figures,  por- 
traits. and  other  ordinary  subjects  of  photography  in  the  special  way  required  to  make  well 
designed  pictorial  photographs.  The  technique  of  photographic  exposure  development  and 
printing  is  nowhere  lost  sight  of,  and  so  the  book  will  be  far  more  useful  to  the  photographer 
than  any  other  manual  on  composition  or  art  principles  yet  published. 

2J4  paces,  48  full  page  pictures.    Size  (%  x  &/•,.    Bound  in  red  cloth,  Price"  $3.50.

A  NOVEL  OF  THE  HEART  OF  AMERICA 

\/andemark's 

m    •        *4  ** 


By    HERBERT    QUICK 


This,  is,  in  fact,  the  long-hoped-for  novel  of  the 
Middle  West.  It  is  an  epic  work  of  vision  and 
insight — big,  upstanding,  constructive,  truthful. 

It  shows  how  a  wilderness  was  conquered  by 
the  toil  and  courage  of  strong  and  earnest  men 
and  women. 

It  tells  in  the  life  story  of  JAKE  VANDE- 
MAHK  how  wagon  trains  crossed  the  country, 
how  homes  were  built,  farms  worked,  towns  and 
cities  constructed,  wealth  amassed  and  civilization 
established  all  in  the  short  space  of  one  lifetime.

J.  C. 
SNAITH 


Here  is  a  novelist  who  has  distinguished  himself  in  almost  every  field  of  fiction. 
Master  of  romance  and  of  realism,  the  series,  of  novels  bearing  his  name  show 
an  amazing  versatility.  Twenty  years  ago  he  was  writing  historical  romances, 
including  "Fierceheart  the  Soldier"  and  "Mistress  Dorothy  Marvin,"  which 
attained  to  great  vogue  in  Appleton's  Town  and  Country  Library.  Since  that 
period  he  has  produced  novels  of  every  type,  some  historical,  some  contemporary, 
some  with  a  political  flavor,  some  of  romantic  development  of  character.  In  each 
has  been  exhibited  the  consummate  craftsmanship  by  which  Snaith  has  won  for 
himself  an  undisputed  place  among  the  foremost  contemporary  English  novelists. 
"The  Undefeated,"  "The  Sailor,"  and  "Broke  oi  Covenden"  are  grippingly  human 
stories,  full  of  beauty  and  a  powerful  pathos,  depicting  the  potentiality  for 
development  which  the  human  soul  can  display.  In  these  novels  life  is  a  fight 
against  smothering  reality,  with  the  human  element  (Henry  Harper  of  "The 
Sailor,"  or  the  valiant  little  green  grocer  of  "The  Undefeated")  providing  the 
thrill  of  romance.  Despite  the  grim  realism  of  some  of  their  pages,  the  Snaith 
novels,  brightened  with  humor,  may  truly  be  described  as  "a  straight  road  in 
hopeful  company."  Again,  Snaith  surprises  his  admirers  by  such  a  light  gem  as 
"The  Adventurous  Lady,"  which  is  high  comedy  of  sparkling  brilliancy.  Of  the 
author  himself  little  is  known  by  the  public.  He  is  a  retiring  man,  appearing  but 
seldom  at  his  club,  the  famous  Garrick,  a  keen  cricketer,  living 
in  London  or  nearby,  content  to  watch  the  life  of  war  or  peace- 
time England  and  recording  his  impressions  of  its  humors  and 
its  romances  in  novels,  shrewd,  witty,  and  filled  with  true  vision. 

THE  COUNCIL  OF  SEVEN  is  J.  C.  Snaith's  new  novel.  In  it  he 
has  turned  his  fine  abilities  to  the  weaving  of  a  mystery  which  thrill- 
ingly  tells  the  story  of  a  young  politician  who,  with  a  brave  woman 
at  his  side,  becomes  enmeshed  in  a  conspiracy  whose  aims  are  lofty, 
but  whose  methods  are  sinister,  evil,  poisonous.  It  is  a  remarkable 
novel ;  absorbing  to  any  lover  of  mystery,  romance,  and  vivid 
characterization.  $2.00  net.

is  baying  — 

FALL  NOVELS  that  are  still  in 
wick-  di-mand.  People  are  read- 
ing them ;  people  are  talking  about 
them:  that  is  why  they  are  still 
selling.  Circulations  to  date  on  these 
iii.vi-ls  run  at  encouraging  variations 
between  the  i8th  thousand*  (for 
the  lowest)  and  the  225th  thou- 
sand* (for  the  highest  individual 
sales). 

An  index  of  the  universal  favor 
that  has  been  bestowed  upon  The 
Girls,  Vcra,  Niels  Lyhnc,  Alice 
Adams,  Her  Father's  Daughter  and 
The  Beloved  Woman  has  appeared 
in  the  continued  discussion  in  maga- 
zines and  newspapers.  Representa- 
tive comments : 

"Miss  Ferber  takes  you  so  closely  into  the 
lives  of  her  characters,"  said  Percy  Ham- 
mond, "that  you  are  almost  abashed."  It  is 
indeed  an  intimate  study  of  life. 

"It  is  fortunate  the  majority  of  wives  are 
not  sufficiently  intelligent  to  comprehend  the 
frightful  veracity  of  this  novel  (VERA)  or 
one  would  be  inclined  to  demand  legislation 
forbidding  the  writing  of  novels  by  women." 
— William  McFee. 

Conforming  with  present-day  popular  novels, 
though  written  forty  years  ago,  Niels  Lyhne 
prompted  George  Kent  to  say:  "No  one  has 
remembered  the  spiritual  experiences  of  early 
manhood  as  well  as  the  Danish  novelist." 

Mr.  Tarkington,  also  interpreting  youth, 
was  complimented  by  Henry  Seidel  Canby 
when  he  said  of  Alice  Adams:  "She  is  the 
lost  youth  of  that  wonderful  mother  in  'The 
Way  of  All  Flesh' — Samuel  Butler's  master- 
piece of  characterization." 

Mary  Squire,  when  she  had  read  of  Mrs. 
Porter's  Linda  Strong,  said:  "Action!  She's 
at  it  every  minute!  Intimate  nature  knowl- 
edge so  humanized  that  it  is  useful  to  the 
youngest." 

"In  'The  Beloved  Woman,'  "  said  George 
1C.  Stark,  "there  are  some  finely  etched  por- 
traits in  the  course  of  an  absorbing  love 
story." 

New  requests  for  the  six  notable 
novels  mentioned  will  doubtless  con- 
tinue for  some  time.

The  Price  Situation 


F  J7"£,  of  course,  have  no  control 
ww  over  retail  prices  which  are 
established  in  every  instance  by  the 
publisher  concerned.  This  advertise- 
ment is  inserted  for  the  purpose^  of 
trade  information  and  as  a  contribu- 
tion to  stabilized  conditions. 


SEVERAL  inquiries  recently  received 
lead  us  to  believe  that  there  is  more 
or  less  uncertainty  in  the  trade  as  to  the 
probable  trend  of  prices  in  the  near  future. 
We  have  given  the  matter  some  considera- 
tion and  have  come  to  the  conclusion  that 
the  changes  in  the  prices  of  reprints,  record 
books  and  of  certain  popular  priced  competi- 
tive lines  already  announced  are  the  only  ma- 
terial reductions  that  are  likely  to  be  made 
during  the  spring  season. 

An  examination  of  the  announcements  of 
the  leading  publishers  shows  that  fiction 
will  be  issued  to  retail  at  from  $1.75  to 
$2.50  as  in  the  fall  just  passed.  The  level 
of  prices  established  last  year  will  be 
maintained  on  all  lines  of  trade  books.  It 
is  hardly  likely  that  in  the  face  of  this  fact 
there  will  be  any  general  reduction  in 
catalogue  prices. 

It  is  well  known  that  books  were  not  ad- 
vanced in  price  in  the  same  proportion  as 


manufacturing  costs  or  other  lines  of  mer- 
chandise during  the  rising  market.  Present 
prices  could  not  have  been  maintained,  if 
paper,  binding  cloth,  etc.,  had  remained  at 
the  peak  price.  The  present  level  of  book 
prices  is  based  upon  the  present  scale  of 
costs,  and  is  now,  we  feel  confident,  fortun- 
ately stabilized  for  some  time  to  come. 

The  forces  of  competition  which  pre- 
vented the  raise  in  price  level  to  the  point 
that  the  law  of  supply  and  demand  seemed 
to  justify,  are  still  as  potent  as  ever  in 
the  book  publishing  business,  and  it  is  our 
firm  conviction  that  prices  will  be  reduced 
just  as  soon  as,  if  not  a  trifle  sooner  than, 
a  lowering  in  costs  warrant.  Our  expecta- 
tion is  that  the  first  reduction  in  book  manu- 
facturing costs  will  be  reflected  in  a  ten- 
dency to  lower  retail  prices  of  new  popular 
fiction  titles  as  they  come  out. 

Publishers  will  be  quite  likely  to  see  the 
desirability  of  a  reduced  price  when  the 
time  appointed  for  it  arrives.  It  behooves 
the  bookseller,  therefore,  to  cooperate  with 
the  publishers  in  this  matter  by  placing  the 
situation,  as  it  exists,  'before  his  customers, 
and  to  bear  in  mind  that  the  publishers 
are,  of  course,  considering  the  dealer's 
own  problem  of  the  reduction  in  inventory 
value  and  margin  of  profit  that  would  neces- 
sarily accompany  lowered  selling  prices. 


Dealers  who  have  not  recently  placed  orders  or  reorders  for 
stock  needs  with  us  will  be  agreeably  surprised,  we  feel  sure,  at  the 
character  of  the  service  we  are  now  rendering.  We  should  be  glad 
to  have  trial  orders  from  these  with  a  view  to  demonstrating  the 
advantages  of  conducting  their  business  with  minimum  well  assorted 
stocks,  making  frequent  purchases,  insuring  rapid  turnover  and  based 
upon  a  prompt  and  efficient  jobbing  service,  provided  at  a  reasonable 
price.  Practically  all  orders  going  by  mail  or  express  are  shipped 
complete  on  the  day  of  receipt.

THL  GREAT 
PRINCE  SHAN 

By 

E.  PHILLIPS  OPPENHEIM 

oAuthor  of  THE  GREAT  IMPERSONATION 


You  remember  that,  in  1920,  'The  Great 
Impersonation7'  was  one  of  the  conspicuous 
fiction  successes  of  the  year.  We  predict  that 
'The  Great  Prince  Shan"  will  be  equally 
popular.  This  story  of  world  politics  in 
1934  has  everything  that  goes  to  the  making 
of  an  enthralling  tale.  A  theme  of  present 
import,  an  intricate  plot  full  of  suspense 
and  surprise,  fascinating  characters  and  an 
unusual  love  interest.  'The  Great  Prince 
Shan"  is  a  book  of  the  Hundred  Thousand 
Class.  Price  $2.00  net

Book  Price  Levels  for  1922 

AS  the  year  opens  and  announcements  are 
made  on  new  books  and  travelers  go  out 
with  new  books  and  new  lines  of  books 
in  the  competitive  field,  the  question  of  price 
levels  for  the  year  can  be  somewhat  gauged  from 
the  early  indications.  As  has  already  been  fore- 
told during  the  fall,  the  prices  on  popular  copy- 
rights have  been  lowered  and  are  now  fixed  at 
75c.  The  competitive  lines  of  juveniles,  birthday 
books,  graduation  books,  etc.  have  shown  the 
same  downward  tendency. 

The  competitive  lines  are  usually  considered 
separately  in  the  minds  of  publishers  because  in 
many  aspects  the  business  differs  very  markedly 
from  that  of  the  new  book  publishing.  The 
cost  of  composition  and  of  engraved  plates  is 
a  smaller  percentage  in  competitive  lines  with 
their  large  printings  and  in  reprints  does  not 
come  into  the  problem  except  in  jackets  and  pro- 
motion. The  cost  of  paper  and  binding,  on  the 
contrary,  is  a  far  larger  percentage  of  the  total 
cost.  While  paper  and  binding  have  not  nearly 
returned  to  the  levels  of  five  years  back,  there 
have  been  very  helpful  recessions  that  have 
made  the  new  price  level  possible.  Ordinary 
book  paper  that  was  once  4c.  a  pound  and  went 
as  high  as  I3C.  is  now  down  to  about  7c.  Some 
of  the  plain  binding  cloths  that  used  to  sell 
as  low  as  I2j4c.  a  square  yard,  and  have  been 
last  year  up  to  32c.  are  now  down  to  22c. 
Binding  wages,  since  the  establishment  of  the 
open  shop  last  spring,  have  also  receded,  altho 
they  are  still  50%  to  75%  above  the  old  levels. 
Pressmen  who  were  getting  $25  a  week  in  1914 
and  who  reached  a  $51  level  a  year  ago  are 
now  at  a  $44  minimum. 

The  materials  and  wage  levels,  therefore,  are 
now  about  75%  to  100%  more  than  1914,  but 
even  this  is  a  considerable  recession  and  has 
been  reflected  to  full  extent  in  the  competitive 
prices  now  going  out.  It  seems  very  probable 


from  the  data  newly  collected  and  from  re- 
ports from  the  paper  trade  and  book  cloth 
fields  that  these  levels  of  cost  are  fairly  well 
stabilized  for  the  year. 

In  the  field  of  new  books  the  announcements 
for  the  spring  are  coming  out  and  show  that 
the  price  levels  are  about  the  same  as  in  the 
fall,  a  very  large  percentage  of  fiction  at  $2, 
with  some  at  $1.90  and  $1.75.  On  miscellaneous 
books  it  is  hard  to  draw  parallels,  but  the  prices 
on  books  announced  seem  about  the  same  as 
last  fall.  A  detailed  study  of  the  many  ele- 
ments in  the  cost  of  production  that  have  en- 
tered the  problems  in  the  last  five  years  shows 
that  when  the  $2  level  was  reached  a  year  ago 
this  did  not  nearly  represent  the  increased  cost 
of  manufacture,  and  until  there  came  about,  re- 
cessions in  paper  and  binding  cloth  last  spring 
the  publishing  of  current  books  was  decidedly 
a  hazardous  venture.  Hope  for  reduction  in 
other  fields  than  paper  and  binding  has  not 
materialized.  The  decision  in  the  photo-en- 
graving field  in  New  York  this  week  leaves 
wage  scales  at  their  high  war  level  of  $50  mini- 
mum, about  double  that  of  five  years  ago.  The 
electrotype  wages  are  more  than  double,  having 
gone  from  $24.75  to  $59.  Composing  room 
wages,  after  fall  arbitration,  were  left  at  their 
war  level  of  $50  minimum,  a  change  from 
$24.60  in  1914.  All  of  these  are  of  first  im- 
portance in  the  production  of  new  books. 

Publishers  also  still  find  on  their  lists  hun- 
dreds of  titles  that  they  are  unable  to  reprint 
because  the  cost  of  issuing  small  editions  would 
make  retail  prices  too  high  for  ready  sale. 
Some  publishers  who  had  carried  staple  titles 
as  assets,  titles  that  brought  in  sales  year  after 
year,  have  been  obliged  to  mark  these  off  as  as- 
sets,'  as  they  cannot  possibly  be  profitably 
printed. 

The  cost  of  advertising,  traveling  and  -gen- 
eral overhead  seems  to  have  receded  practi- 
cally none  in  the  year,  altho  the  elimination  of 
the  government  tax  on  railroad  fares  has  been 
one  rather  slight  benefit  in  the  last  couple 
of  weeks. 

As  most  of  these  elements  mentioned  seem  to 
be  little  likely  to  change  in  the  next  twelve 
months,  it  seems  a  fairly  common  prophecy  in 
the  trade  that  prices  in  the  new  book  field  are 
rather  stabilized  for  another  year.  Publishers 
are  tending  to  give  intensive  attention  to  the 
best  obtainable  titles  in  order  to  get  the  greatest 
result  from  every  book  on  which  they  have 
underwritten  the  high  cost  of  manufacture.

Bright  Spot  in  the  New  Year 

ONE  column  of  the  paper  that  makes 
pleasant  reading  as  the  new  year  comes  in 
is  that  part  of  the  report  on  exchange 
rates  whdch  shows  that  our  business  r«lations 
with  Canada  are  to  be  on  much  easier  footing 
this  year  than  last.  In  twelve  months  the 
Canadian  exchange  has  risen  from  approxi- 
mately 85  to  95.  With  this  steady  betterment 
the  business  interchange  between  the  two  coun- 
tries has  become  much  easier.  To  no  one  will 
this  be  more  welcome  than  to  the  book-trade. 

The  Book  Review 

BEGINNING  with  the  new  vear,  the  Book 
Review,  published  at  the  office  of  the  PUB- 
LISHERS' WEEKLY,  is  taking  on  new  and  attrac- 
tive features  to  make  it  more  valuable  to  those 
dealers  who  distribute  it  to  their  lists  of  book 
buyers.  A  regular  feature  will  be  a  page  on 
books  and  reading  by  Heywood  Broun,  and 
there  will  be  more  special  articles  and  more 
careful  make-up  than  ever  before,  making  it 
the  most  dignified,  effective  and  handsome  im- 
print magazine  that  has  ever  been  available. 

During  the  past  few  years,  the  experiment 
has  been  made  of  attaching  copies  of  the  Book 
Review  to  the  third  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY  of 
each  month,  In  order  to  keep  it  in  the  minds  of 
booksellers  who  might  wish  to  contract  for  its 
use.  This  form  of  promotion  will  now  be  dis- 
continued as  not  being  the  most  effective  way 
to  circularize.  There  has  been  a  very  marked 
increase  in  the  appreciation  of  the  function  of 
imprint  magazines  in  the  past  year,  and  the 
circulation  of  Books  of  the  Month  and  the 
Book  Review  has  shown  results. 

Now  that  the  extreme  pressure  on  manu- 
facturing conditions  has  lessened,  it  has  been 
possible  to  get  better  and  better  results  with 
typography  and  illustrations,  and  in  no  field  is 
attractive  circularizing  in  this  form  more 
valuable  than  in  the  book  world.  Rebecca  D. 
Moore  has  for  the  past  several  years  been 
special  editor  of  the  Book  Review  and  Dorothy 
Knight  of  the  Books  of  the  Month. 

Christmas  Sales  Total 

THE  Federal  Reserve  Bank  of  New  York 
publishes  statistics  on  sales  in  department 
stores  in  New  York  City  and  vicinity  from 
December  ist  to  December  2Oth,  which  gives 
an  increase  of  3  per  cent  in  dollar  values  over 
a  corresponding  period  of  last  year  and  2  per 
cent  larger  than  December,  1919.  This  means 
that  there  has  been  a  greater  volume  of  mer- 
chandise sold  than  in  any  two  previous  years 
in  this  district.  The  figures  for  November 
show  a  slight  decrease  in  money  value  of  sales 
in  1921  as  compared  to  1920  in  the  department 
stores,  and  in  mail  order  houses,  which  have 
been  adversely  affected  by  conditions  in  the 
agricultural  districts,  a  falling  off  of  about 
one-third. 


Photo  Engraving  Wages 

SINCE  the  photo-engraving  shops  closed 
down  on  January  3rd,  the  employers  and 
employees  have  been  in  conference,  and 
the  employers,  according  to  an  announcement 
made  after  a  meeting  on  the  evening  of 
January  loth,  have  given  dn  on  the  wage  scale 
and  consented  to  continue  at  the  present  basis  of 
$50  minimum  for  44-hour  week.  The  reports 
say  that  there  has  been  some  change  in  shop 
conditions,  but  particulars  have  not  been  an- 
nounced. 

There  are  about  1500  union  engravers  belong- 
ing to  Photo-Engravers'  Union  Number  One, 
and,  altho  the  newspaper  shops  are  under  separ- 
ate contract  from  those  in  general  job  work,  a 
good  many  of  these  men  had  walked  out  in  sym- 
pathy with  the  others.  Matthew  Woll,  Presi- 
dent of  the  International  Photo-Engravers' 
Union,  came  on  from  Chicago  and  took  a  lead- 
ing part  in  the  settlement. 

Paper  Mill  Wages 

ON  January  4,  the  arbitrator  in  the  paper 
mill  field,  Judge  Frank  Irvine  of  Ithaca, 
rendered  a  decision  which  has  lowered  the  wage 
scale  in  the  unskilled  departments  of  paper- 
making  while  leaving  the  skilled  -wages  at  the 
level  which  followed  the  cuts  of  last  August. 
The  paper  mills  affected  are  the  principal  in- 
dependent companies  of  the  United  States  and 
Canada,  not  including  the  International  Paper 
Company. 

The  mills  had  reduced  wages  last  August  on 
percentages  varying  from  10  per  cent  to  26 
per  cent.  The  wages  of  skilled  workers  were 
left  at  a  level  of  from  54c  per  hour  upward. 
The  unskilled  labor,  on  which  the  manufacturers 
asked  a  reduction  to  3Oc  an  hour  from  4oc  has 
been  placed  at  32c  an  hour,  or  $2.56  a  day. 
This  includes  wood  handlers,  yard  men,  etc. 
The  agreement  continues  to  May  i,  when  the 
arbitration  agreement,  under  which  thi«  scale 
was  promulgated,  expires.  The  manufacturers 
have  claimed  that  the  mills  were  only  about 
75  per  cent  busy. 

A  Book  Collector 

IT  is  always  interesting  to  note  that  the  writer 
of  an  obituary  of  a  prominent  man  very 
naturally  includes  in  his  report  some  reference, 
if  possible,  to  the  attitude  of  the  deceased 
towards  books.  In  the  current  reports  follow- 
ing the  death  of  Senator  Penrose  the  papers 
state  that: 

"He  had  few  diversions.  He  had  not  at- 
tended the  theater  in  more  than  thirty  years. 
He  found  no  enjoyment  in  music  and  was  never 
inside  a  moving  picture  show.  He  spent  his 
nights  reading  and  keeping  pace  with  public 
matters.  At  his  offices  in  Philadelphia  was  a 
good  law  library.  At  his  home  was  one  of 
the  most  valuable  collections  of  books  in  the 
city.  Attaches  of  the  Librarv  of  Congress 
say  no  other  man  at  the  Capitol  drew  from  its 
shelves  a  larger  number  of  volumes."

The  Complexities  of  the  Printing  Situation 


THE  printing  situation  has  been  compli- 
cated in  recent  years  by  the  organization 
of  smaller  unions  in  correlative  branches 
of  the  printing  trade,  and  has  led  to  serious 
wastage  in  labor  which  has  greatly  increased 
the  cost  of  printing,  and  therefore  of  publica- 
tions and  this  illustrates  only  too  well  the 
general  complexities  of  the  labor  situation. 

The  following  Unions  are  now  inter-related 
in  the  printing  offices  of  New  York  City: 

Typographical  Union  No.  6 

Printing  Pressmen  and  Assistants'  Union 
No.  51 

Franklin  Union   No.  23 

Platen  Pressmen  and  Platen  Press  Assist- 
ants' Union  No.  I 

Web  Pressmen's  Union  No.  25 

Paper  Handlers'  Union  No.  i 

Paper  Cutters'   Union  No.   119 

Bindery  Women's  Union  No.  43 

This  list  does  not  include  the  Fly  Boys  and 
Girls  Union  No.  i,  organized  some  time  since, 
which  is  understood  to  have  lapsed  into  "in- 
nocuous desuetude." 

The  following  are  Unions  with  which  print- 
ing offices  have  close  relation  and  which  are 
more  or  less  inter-dependent  with  them : 

Photo  Engravers'  Union  No.  i 

Electrotypers'  Union  No.  100 

Stereotypers'  Union  No.  I 

Bookbinders'  Union  No.  I 

Mailers'  Union  No.  6 

Bookcover  Stampers'  and  Gold  Lavers' 
Lnion  No.  22. 

Bookedge  Gilders'  Union  No.  11 

Paper  Rulers'  Union  No.  9 

Blank  Book  Workers'  Union  No.  6 

Ink  Workers'  Union  No.  2 

The  membership  of  these  Unions  are  jealous 
each  of  the  other,  and  the  intricacy  of  these 
criss-cross  jurisdictions  is  best  illustrated  in 
the  following  official  notice  issued  by  the  Paper 
Handlers'  Union  No.  i  under  date  of  Novem- 
ber 28,  1919: 

"The  jurisdiction  over  the  work  of  paper  handling 
sheet   straightening  and  such  other  work  as  formerly 
came   under   the  jurisdiction  of  the   old   Paper  Hand- 
ers,     and     Sheet     Straighteners'      Union     has     been 
?,,y   re8ulated   and   assigned   as   follows: 
All  paper   handling,   whether   in   rolls   or  flat   sheets 
uch  as  carting    storing  and  stripping  of  rolls  and  the 
ting,    unpacking   of    cases    and    stacking    of    white 
neets    come   under   the  jurisdiction    of   Paper   Hand- 
lers' Union  \  o.   i,  I.  P.  P.  &  A.   U. 

The   work    of   straightening   printed   sheets    whether 

performed    in   the   Bindery   or   the   Press    Room    comes 

inder   the  jurisdiction  of   Paper   Cutters'   Union    No. 

'?'t  jThls    aPP"«    to    the    straightening    of    sheets 

:ed   on    one   side   and   all  printed   sheets   that   are 

received    in   cases  as  well   as   to   the   straightening   of 

ill  printed  sheets.     The  work  of  carting  the  printed 

sheets   and   signatures   from    the   Press   Room    to    the 

Kindery  which  has  heretofore  been  done  by  members 

the   Sheet   Straighteners'   Union    should   also   come 


under   the  jurisdiction   of    Paper   Cutters'   Union   Xo. 
119. 

The  -work  of  loading  up  the  cross  feed  folding 
machines  comes  under  the  jurisdiction  of  Bookbinders' 
Union  No.  i. 

This    will    cover    the    matter    of    the    jurisdiction    of    . 
work  formerly  done  by  the  members  of  the  old  Sheet 
Straighteners'  and  Paper  Handlers'  Union  so  that  all 
positions    formerly    filled   by   union   men    will   continue 
to  be  union  jobs." 

Thus  the  handy  man,  who  in  old  days  helped 
to  feed  or  handle  paper  or  did  other  odd  jobs, 
is  no  longer  permissable  in  union  offices  and 
two  men  may  stand  around  idly  while  a  third 
is  doing  work  which  either  of  the  others  might 
do  as  well.  Such  conditions  are  unnecessary 
for  the  protection  of  the  worker  and  seriously 
interfere  with  the  maintenance  and  develop- 
ment of  the  printing  industry. 

In  New  York  employing  printers  have  gone 
so  far  as  to  divide  their  organization  into  two 
sections,  those  of  the  closed  shop,  including  a 
large  majority  of  printing  offices,  and  the  open 
shop,  which  includes  a  few  fairly  successful 
tho  minor  establishments.  The  present  trend 
in  industry  is  to  follow  the  precedent  of  the 
bindery  trade  in  emphasizing  the  open  shop.  It 
should  not  be  impossible  to  obtain  such  re- 
organization among  the  Unions  in  relation  with 
the  open  shop  system,  the  only  truly  American 
system,  without  destruction  or  debasement  of 
the  Unions.  The  Unions  would  still  be  the 
dominant  but  not  the  dictatorial  feature  of 
the  normal  printing  office,  and  the  Union  card 
should  remain  the  best  endorsement  of  a  work- 
er for  employment. 

It  is  doubly  unfortunate  that  the  leadership 
of  the  Unions  in  recent  years  has  become  so 
autocratic  and  unreasonable  and  unmindful 
of  actual  economic  conditions.  Strikes  such  as 
those  in  New  York  harbour  and  those  of  the 
coal  miners  have  become  wars  of  starvation, 
the  modern  equivalent  of  "your  money  or  your 
life."  The  milk  strike  and  the  threatened 
butchers'  strike  'both  struck  at  the  food  supply 
of  New  York  in  this  same  spirit  of  starving 
out  the  public,  and  a  last  straw  was  added  to 
the  New  York  situation,  with  an  unintentional 
touch  of  humor,  when  a  vaudeville  menagerie 
of  howling  beasts  was  left  out  on  a  Broad- 
way sidewalk  after  midnight  because  Union 
theater  helpers  refused  to  load  the  crates  on 
waiting  trucks  which  were  not  manned  by  men 
of  some  other  Union  organization. 

The  building  trades  have  been  notoriously 
under  the  domination  of  leaders  whose  proved 
corruption  has  landed  them  in  State's  Prison. 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


while  profiteering  manufacturers  in  these  in- 
dustries have  made  use  of  such  leaders  in  a 
joint  conspiracy  against  the  public,  with  the 
natural  result  that  housing  conditions  have  pro- 
duced increased  rents  and  great  economic 
pressure  upon  the  workers  themselves. 
.  There  has  been  a  growing  tendency  on  the 
part  of  labor  leaders  to  insist  upon  class  legis- 
lation and  to  forget  that  the  wage  earner  is 
dependent  after  all  upon  the  farmer  and  others 
who  provide  the  raw  materials  which  the  earth 
affords,  and  that  he  is  only  part  of  the  com- 
munity and  not  the  whole  thing.  A  final  note 
of  warning  is  sounded  by  Bryce  in  his  "Mod- 
ern Democracies"  in  describing  the  political 
conditions  in  Australia,  where  the  Labor  Party 
not  only  has  a  majority  in  Parliament,  but 
pledges  members  in  advance  of  their  election 
to  accept  the  policy  of  the  party  which  is 
dictated  by  a  Labor  Council,  nowadays  called 
a  Soviet,  of  a  few  men  who  thus  control 
legislation  and  practically  stop  fruitful 
Parliamentary  debate  and  throttle  representa- 
tive government.  There  also  the  law  provides 
preference  for  the  Unions  and  to  that  extent 
deprives  other  citizens  of  the  opportunity  to 
earn  a  living. 

The  Railroad  Labor  Board  in  its  recent 
decision,  unanimously  agreed  upon  with  the 
support  of  labor  representatives,  pointed  the 
way  to  the  open  door  of  friendly  relations  be- 
tween employers  and  employed,  between  the 
public  and  the  Unions.  In  this  important  field 
of  transportation,  where  high  wages  and  high 
costs  had  seriously  crippled  all  business  from 


the  farmer  to  the  ultimate  consumer,  this 
decision  recognized  the  Unions  as  the  best 
means  for  "collective  bargaining,"  with  the 
proviso  that  non-union  workers  should  not  be 
unrepresented,  and  required  peaceful  relations 
between  union  and  non-union  workers.  Also, 
while  modifying  working  conditions  where  these 
had  been  made  the  pretext  for  despotic  control, 
the  Railroad  Labor  Board  insisted  on  the  rights 
of  the  workers  to  reasonable  hours,  proper 
sanitation  and  the  comforts  of  industrial  life. 
The  common  sense  of  it  all  is  that  an  Amer- 
ican citizen  should  have  the  right  to  earn  his 
bread  and  butter,  whether  or  not  he  chooses 
to  belong  to  a  labor  organization,  but  that  the 
Unions  rightly  led  constitute  the  best  means 
to  lead  all  workers  and  the  whole  community 
toward  peace  and  prosperity.  Standing  stoutly 
by  the  principle  that  the  wage  worker  is  en- 
titled to  a  day's  wage  which  gives  him  an 
increasing  rather  than  decreasing  share  of  his 
product  the  wage  in  any  industry  should  afford 
to  each  worker  a  comfortable  standard  of 
living  and  this  should  bring  about  a  relation 
between  employer  and  employed  in  which  the 
wastage  of  strikes  and  like  difficulties  should 
be  avoided,  in  which  efficiency  should  be  em- 
phasized and  thru  which  the  prices  of  com- 
modities should  be  kept  as  low  as  fair  wages 
permit,  thus  increasing  demand  and  lowering 
the  cost  of  increasiing  supply,  so  that  each  man, 
woman  and  child  in  the  country  will  be  the 
gainer  and  no  wage  earner  the  loser.  It  is 
only  by  the  application  of  the  golden  rule  in 
industry  that  this  ideal  may  be  reached. 


Doing  More  Business  on  Less  Capital 

By  Waldon  Fawcett 


THE  government  has  been  inquiring  into 
"turnover"  and  its  bearing  on  business 
expense.  Ordinarily,  a  board  of  Agri- 
cultural Inquiry  would  be  expected  to  have 
but  slight  interest  in  the  rapidity  of  mer- 
chandise turnover,  but  a  Joint  Commission 
of  Congress  has  just  come  across  this  factor 
in  investigating  the  marketing  system  of  the 
country.  It  will  be  some  months  before  the 
final  report  and  recommendations  of  the 
Commission  will  be  ready,  but  its  findings 
will  point  out  that  costs  and  profits  are  heav- 
ily governed  by  the  number  of  turns  of  stock 
in  a  year  or  a  season. 

<  Study  of  retail  turnover  by  the  Commis- 
sion has  followed  the  Commission's  probe  of 
the  cost  of  distribution,  or  of  "service,"  as 


Chairman  Anderson  likes  to  characterize  it, 
all  the  functions  of  distribution  from  the 
producing  plant  to  the  point  of  consumption 
being  included  in  "service."  John  Wana- 
maker's  general  manager,  Franklin  N.  Brew- 
er, in  testimony  before  the  Commission,  set 
"dealer  service"  above  price  in  the  considera- 
tion of  customers.  Thereupon,  the  econ- 
omists did  some  figuring  and  announced  that 
49  cents  of  every  dollar  paid  by  the  consumer 
goes  for  "service,"  leaving  37  cents  to  cover 
the  entire  cost  of  production,  including  all 
materials,  and  14  cents  to  provide  all  the 
profits  for  manufacturers  and  distributors. 

Prodded  by  the  revelation  of  the  heavy 
proportion  of  marketing  investment  that  is 
bound  up  in  the  distributive  machinery,  the 


January  14,  1922 


Congressional  explorers  have  sought,  from 
the  business  men  that  the  Commission  has 
summoned  as  witnesses,  light  on  the  subject 
of  turnover.  To  the  questions  of  members 
whether  turnover  can  be  speeded  up  without 
materially  increasing  the  cost  of  doing  busi- 
ness, most  of  the  merchants  who  have  faced 
the  Commission  have  replied  in  the  affirm- 
ative. It  was  pointed  out,  however,  that  when 
a  certain  point  is  passed,  overhead  goes  up 
with  the  turnover,  not  at  the  same  rate,  but 
nevertheless  steadily. 

Christmas  trade  was  cited  as  illustration  of 
possible  illusion  with  respect  to  turnover. 
Many  a  retail  store  takes  care  of  a  sharply 
increased  volume  of  business  at  the  holiday 
season  without  any  material  increase  in  oper- 
ating expenses,  but  this  high  net  gain  is  pos- 
sible only  for  a  limited  interval  when  the 
sales  plant  and  its  operative  force  temporarily 
sustains  an  overload.  If  the  store  were 
called  upon  to  cope  regularly  with  turnover, 
swollen  to  Christmas  proportions,  it  could  be 
done  only  if  there  were  proportionate  in- 
crease of  facilities  and  of  personnel. 

Concensus  of  opinion  seemed  to  be  that  the 
average  retail  organization  is  susceptible  of 
turning  stock  more  frequently  than  it  now 
does  without  substantial  increase  in  operating 
expenses.  One  witness,  who  gave  his  cost  of 
doing  business  as  somewhere  between  20 
and  25  per  cent,  reported  the  rate  of  turn- 
over in  his  store  as  four  times  a  year  and 
ventured  the  opinion  that  at  least  one  addi- 
tional turnover  might  be  added  without  rais- 
ing the  cost  of  doing  business.  The  propen- 
sity of  the  average  purchaser  to  seek  pleasant 
store  environment  points  to  opportunities  for 
better  turnover,  and  wide  aisles  offer  chance 
for  an  increase  of  turnover  with  no  advance 
in  the  charges  for  rent,  heat,  light,  insurance. 

Starting  from  this  idea  that  increase  in 
turnover  spells  increase  in  profit  the  Com- 
mission have  studied  the  relative  ability  of 
the  large  store  and  small  store  to  obtain 
turnover.  Department  store  executives  give 
the  impression  that  they  are  anything  but 
cock-sure  as  to  their  superiority  in  turnover. 
The  Wanamaker  manager  saw  an  increasing 
line  of  distinction  between  the  smaller  busi- 
nesses that  are  locally  close  to  the  people  and 
the  larger  businesses  that  offer  a  range  of 
merchandise.  But  he  admitted  that  one  of 
the  big  questions  of  the  period  is  whether  a 
store  with  central  management  can  continue 
to  compete  with  the  smaller  store  in  which 
the  personality  and  the  effort  of  the  propri- 
etor enter  most  directly  and  where  there  is 
a  personal  specialized  service  which  the  more 
impersonal  large  store  finds  it  hard  to  dupli- 
cate. 

Conceding  then,  that  the  small  store  cannot 
be  driven  out  by  the  large  store  and  that,  per- 
haps, the  efficiently  operated  small  store  has 
never  been  so  prosperous  as  at  present,  the 
discussions  have  sought  to  square  this  condi- 
tion with  the  all-important  equation  of  turn- 
over. It  is  acknowledged  that  the  large  store 
and  the  large  mail-order  house  obtain  what- 
ever advantage  in  price  they  possess  by  means 


of  quantity  purchases.  And  it  has  been  stated 
brake  upon  turnover  and  the  improvement  in 
transportation  and  other  facilities,  which  en- 
able the  small  merchant  to  reorder  frequently 
in  small  lots,  is  an  influence  that  narrows  the 
gap  between  the  large  and  small  store. 

The  farther  the  Commission  has  pursued  the 
subject  of  turnover  the  deeper  the  insight  into 
the  structure  of  retail  merchandising.  The 
co-operative  store,  the  consumer-owned  store 
and,  at  the  other  extreme,  the  manufacturer- 
owned  store  have  all  been  scrutinized.  But 
always  there  was,  on  the  part  of  quizzed  and 
quizzers,  an  eye  to  the  influence  of  turnover. 
William  H.  Ingersoll,  who  stated  that  he  had 
recently  been  in  Europe  investigating  this 
subject  eulogized  as  "a  marked  accomplish- 
ment," the  achievment  of  Selfridge  in  doing, 
in  his  London  department  store,  a  business, 
equal  in  volume  of  sales  to  Harrod's  on  half 
the  investment. 

In  suggesting  a  way  for  curing  slow  turn- 
over, business  men  who  have  appeared  be- 
fore the  Joint  Commission  have  usually  as- 
sumed that  28  per  cent  represents  the  cost  of 
operation  of  a  typical  retail  store.  This  ex- 
pense is  divided  into  two  elements.  One  is 
time  expenses — that  is  expenses  affected  by 
the  length  of  time  involved  in  transactions ; 
the  other  labor  expense  involving  buying, 
clerk  hire,  etc.  In  the  calculations  at  Wash- 
ington, the  expense  of  store  operation  has 
seemed  to  be  divided  equally,  14  per  cent  be- 
ing computed  for  time  expense  and  14  per 
cent  for  labor  expense. 

As  a  basis  for  computing  the  influence  of 
turnover  the  store  with  one  turnover  a  year  is 
taken.  The  specific  illustration  used  in  some 
of  the  discussions  was  a  store  carrying  a 
$10,000  stock  to  do  business  of  $30,000  a  year 
and  that  thus  moves  its  stock  off  its  shelves 
once  in  twelve  months.  For  this  store  the 
time  expenses  embody : 

Rent    $1800  or  6% 

Interest  on   investment   in   stock 6% 

Light,   insurance,   etc 2% 

Total    14% 

Labor  expense   is   apportioned   as   follows : 

Buying  and  traveling  to  market l% 

Clerks    and    sales    force B% 

Advertising     2% 

Expressage,  delivery  and  sundries l% 

Breakage,  loss,  and  obsolescence   2% 

Total    14% 

Grand  total    - 28% 

The  arguments  have  pictured  the  possibil- 
ities if  all  labor  expense  be  left  the  same,  but 
there  is  a  speeding  up  of  the  turnover  or  the 
time  element.  If  the  merchant  could  do  his 
$30,000  worth  of  business  on  a  $5,000  invest- 
ment instead  of  a  $20,000  investment,  then 
against  each  dollar's  worth  of  stock  he  has 
only  to  charge  i%  or  one-fourth  of  his  year's 
rent.  Similarly  the  interest  charge  is  cut 
down  and  likewise  the  assessment  for  heat  and 
light.  Simply  by  increasing  the  turnover  the 
time  expense  is  reduced  from  14%  to  3^3%. 
That  saving  would,  if  translated  to  the  ulti- 
mate consumer,  so  the  Congressional  Com- 
mission has  been  told,  exceed  all  the  theo- 
retical savings  that  have  been  promised  by

The  Publishers'  U'eckly 


that  the  largest  mail-order  house  has  little 
advantage  in  this  respect  over  the  large  de- 
partment stores  and  "chain"  systems.  The 
temptation  to  quantity  purchases  for  the  sake 
of  securing  extra  discounts  is  accounted  a 
advocates  of  systems  that  eliminate  the 
middleman  or  contemplate  co-operative 
stores. 

The  above  supposes  that  the  labor  item 
remains  the  same,  but  the  board  has  been 
told  by  witnesses  that  this  is  not  fair  and 
that  in  the  case  of  goods  that,  by  the  aid  of 
advertising  or  exploitation,  sell  so  readily 
that  they  turn  four  times  a  year  or  oftener 
there  is  an  appreciable  saving  in  clerk  hire 
and  other  items  under  the  head  of  labor.  ^In 
order  that  members  of  the  Commission 
should  not  discredit  as  preposterous  sup- 
posititious cases  of  multiplication  of  turnover 
there  have  been  laid  before  the  jury  of  in- 
vestigators a  number  of  interesting  concrete 
instances  of  stimulus  to  turnover. 

A  store  with  a  record  of  two  turns  a  year 


— doing  a  business  of  $60,000  a  year  on  a 
stock  investment  of  $20,000 — was  brought, 
under  new  management  to  a  rate  of  10  turn- 
overs. It  is  declared  that  the  rate  of  12  turns 
which  has  been  shown  in  several  instances 
is  not  unusual  where  modern  methods  have 
been  applied.  Most  of  the  witnesses  who 
have  praised  at  Washington  the  efficacy  of 
more  rapid  turnover  as  a  remedy  for  mer- 
cantile ills  have  advocated  not  a  mainten- 
ance of  present  stocks  with  increased  sales 
but  rather  a  cutting  down  of  stocks  without 
any  reduction  in  the  amount  of  sales.  There 
has  been  mentioned,  as  a  promising  remedy, 
the  plan  of  the  Domestic  Distribution  Divi- 
sion of  the  U.  S.  Chamber  of  Commerce 
which  prescribes  as  a  prerequisite  of  max- 
imum turnover  a  system  of  stock  control 
based  on  "stock  control  cards." — a  card  index 
file  which  affords  a  perpetual  inventory  and 
affords  at  a  glance  conclusive  evidence  as  to 
which  items  of  stock  are  stagnant  and  which 
are  selling  out  or  turning  most  rapidly. 


The  Chicago  School  Book  Situation 


ACCORDING  to  the  decision  announced  by 
the  Chicago  Board  of  Education,  Chicago 
is  to  make  its  own  schoolbooks,  the  text 
being  written  by  the  teachers  and  the  city  pub- 
lishing them.     This   decision   followed   closely 
after  the  announcement  of  an  adopted  list  of 
books  lecommended  by  the  Superintendent  of 
Schools  and  his  staff. 

The  production  of  schoolbooks  by  a  muni- 
cipality or  state  has  been  tried  in  this  country 
a  great  many  times  and  under  varying  condi- 
tions. If  Chicago  makes  its  texts  under  this 
plan,  it  will  be  the  only  community,  however, 
actually  producing  its  own  books.  The  state  of 
California  originally  tried  that  plan  but  after- 
wards amended  its  law  so  that  the  state  could, 
instead  of  preparing  its  own  books,  lease  plates 
from  publishers  for  this  purpose,  the  original 
home-made  books  not  being  satisfactory  to  the 
educators.  It  was  reported  at  that  time  that 
several  hundred  thousand  dollars  worth  of 
books  were  left  on  the  hands  of  the  state.  At 
first,  after  the  law  was  changed,  most  of  the 
large  textbook  houses  offered  texts  on  a  speci- 
fied royalty  percentage,  based  on  the  listed 
price.  Many  of  the  larger  houses,  however, 
have  since  withdrawn  from  this  plate  supply 
business  as  being  unsatisfactory  to  both  their 
authors  and  themselves.  The  state  of  Minne- 
sota made  experiments  in  a  similar  direction 
and  had  for  a  period  of  fifteen  years  up  to 
1893  a  plan  of  uniform  state  contracts,  in  which 
an  arrangement  similar  to  the  California  leases 
was  made,  largely  on  the  series  of  Quackenbos 
books.  They,  however,  reverted  to  the  general 
plan  of  contract  with  textbook  houses  finding 
the  other  unsatisfactory. 

The  state  of  Kansas  Joes  not  make  its  own 
textbooks  but  leases  plates,  and  here,  as  in 
California,  many  of  the  important  texts  are  not 
offered  on  that  plan.  The  Province  of  Ontario 


also  makes  its  own  books,  edits  and  publishes 
them.  In  many  states  the  subject  has  been 
under  legislative  discussion,  but  has  been  passed 
by  as  unsatisfactory  to  the  educators,  who 
believe  that  better  texts  are  obtained  under  the 
competitive  method. 

The  Chicago  Board  of  Education  believes 
that  texts  can  be  produced  in  time  for  use  in 
the  next  school  year.  The  publishers  claim  that 
frequently  they  have  to  spend  from  two  to 
three  years  in  preparing  and  getting  plates 
made  for  a  successful  and  carefully  thought  out 
textbook.  The  difficulty  of  having  textbooks 
written  by  the  teachers  of  any  one  city  is  a  very 
obvious  one.  The  art  of  writing  a  textbook 
requires  a  separate  talent  from  that  of  teach- 
ing, and  ability  to  produce  a  textbook  in  any 
field  is  usually  given  to  few  people.  Publishers 
who  have  sought  '"  vain  for  many  years  for 
just  the  right  textbook  in  some  particular  field 
something  that  would  measure  up  to  their 
highest  ideas  for  such  a  book  are  not  ready  to 
believe  that  every  city  school  organization,  no 
matter  how  able  the  teachers,  has  talent  of  that 
unusual  capacity. 

The  publishers  in  their  argument  against 
leased  plates  point  out  that  under  this  plan 
there  is  too  small  return  to  the  author  and  no 
adequate  provision  for  the  publisher  to  cover 
the  years  of  experiment  and  search  for  the 
best  text  and  the  most  usable  book.  Without 
proper  margin,  experimentation  and  progress 
would  soon  be  curtailed.  The  Chicago  School 
Board  is  proceeding  under  a  statute  of  Illinois, 
which  gives  the  Board  of  Education  "the  right 
to  print,  publish,  distribute  and  sell  its  own 
textbooks."  There  has,  however,  been  no 
change  in  the  constitution  of  the  state,  as  was 
provided  in  California  in  order  to  make  per- 
fectlv  sure  the  state's  right  to  enter  into  private 
business.

Progress  on  Bookselling  Promotion 

Committees  Organized  and  General  Plans  Announced 


67 


FOLLOWING  on  the  series  of  meetings  of 
the  past  six  weeks  of  publishers,  sales  man- 
agers,  advertising   men   and   travelers,    the 
outline  of  what  will  be  done  this  year  in  pro- 
moting bookselling  is  taking  definite  shape  and 
the  committees  to  take  care  of  the  details  an- 
nounced.    The  committee  which    is   in   special 
charge  of  developing  the  program  is  as  follows : 

COMMITTEE  ON   YEAR-ROUND   BOOK 
SELLING

BOOKSELLERS 

Eugene    L.    Herr,    President   American    Book- 
sellers' Association,  ex-officio 
John  Loos,  Brentano's,  New  York 
F.  S.   Smyth,  Wanamaker's,  New  York 

Many  suggestions  have  developed  from  the 
meetings,  and  the  committee  at  its  first  gather- 
ing took  up  the  problem  of  the  plans,  posters 
and  material  for  the  coming  six  months.  The 
larger  appropriation,  pledged  by  the  publishers, 
which  is  more  than  double  that  of  last  year, 
will  permit  a  wider  distribution  of  material, 
higher  grade  posters  and  far  more  general  pub- 
licity. When  the  first  poster  goes  out,  there  will 
be  sent  to  the  1700  booksellers  who  have  been 
cooperators  in  the  movement  or  to  those  who 
can  cooperate  this  year,  a  handsome  mahogany 
frame  in  which  this  and  succeeding  posters  can 
be  effectively  displayed.  Extra  frames  can  be 
obtained  at  7oc.  each  from  the  office  at  334 
Fifth  Avenue. 

The  first  poster  that  has  been  adopted  to  go 
out  about  January  2Oth  has  the  wording 
"Every  real  home  has  books"  and  will  be  hand- 
somely reproduced  in  full  color.  It  is  felt  that 
this  poster  will  have  continuing  value  the  year 


round.  There  has  been  no  effort  to  settle  on 
a  single  slogan  for  the  whole  year,  but  book- 
sellers who  are  interested  are  urged  to  send  in 
suggestions.  •  This  poster  slogan  has  been  ab- 
breviated from  a  longer  one  "No  Home  a  Real 
Home  Without  Books"  which  is  the  form  in 
which  publishers  will  use  it  in  their  advertising. 

From  among  the  designs  of  the  best  posters, 
book-marks  will  be  made,  according  to  a  sug- 
gestion made  by  some  of  the  booksellers  last 
year.  There  is  also  being  prepared  a  Valen- 
tine's Day  band,  to  be  used  on  books — white 
with  red  lettering,  as  is  the  customary  form, 
reading  "To  My  Valentine."  Any  of  the 
booksellers  who  will  write  for  them  may  have 
them.  It  is  also  proposed  to  study  the  possi- 
bility of  having  other  helps  to  make  books 
more  widely  used  as  gifts,  and  a  type  of  gift 
certificate  is  being  designed,  especially  applic- 
able to  books,  and  a  second  style  similar  in 
form  but  having  a  Christmas  decoration  will 
be  developed  ifor  the  fall. 

Marion  Humble,  who  has  had  charge  of  the 
details  of  the  campaigns  for  the  last  fifteen 
months  is  in  executive  charge  of  all  details  at 
the  Fifth  Avenue  office  with  two  assistants,  one 
experienced  in  book  promotion,  so  that  ma- 
terial can  go  out  as  promptly  as  possible. 
Dealers  will  receive  semi-monthly  news  bulle- 
tins with  suggestions  for  display  and  local 
publicity,  and  correspondence  from  the  trade  on 
any  special  problems  of  retailing  is  encouraged. 
There  will  be  frequent  releases  to  the  news- 
papers of  book  news,  and  suggestions  will  be 
sent  to  the  bookseller  on  good  types  of  ad 
copy. 

Besides  the  book  news  sent  to  a  list  of  150 
literary  editors,  there  will  be  regular  releases 
to  a  longer  list  of  managing  editors.  Copies 
of  these  will  be  sent  to  publishers  and  book- 
sellers for  information  and  further  use.  The 
Committee  will  endeavor,  as  during  last  fall, 
to  keep  magazine  editors  and  writers  informed 
about  book  news  by  letters  and  personal  calls, 
and  encouragement  will  be  given  to  starting 
book  columns.  The  committee  has  the  advan- 
tage of  the  advice  and  assistance  of  the  newly 
organized  Publishers'  Ad  Club,  which  con- 
siders from  the  advertising  man's  point  of  view 
all  the  problems  presented.  A  brief  s-ummary 
of  the  emphasis  that  will  be  placed  in  the 
posters  and  publicity  during  the  next  six 
months  is  as  follows

Plans  for  Booksellers'  Convention 

THE  Convention  of  the  American  Book- 
sellers' Association  will  be  held  at  the  New 
Willard  Hotel,  Washington,  D.  C,  May 
8th  to  nth  inclusive.  While  the  plans  have  not 
sufficiently  matured  to  give  a  detailed  account 
of  the  proceedings  of  this  Convention,  enough 
is  known  about  the  program  to  be  safe  in  say- 
ing that  this  will  essentially  and  strictly  be  a 
Booksellers'  Convention  and  that  it  will  deal 
with  the  practical  phases  of  bookselling.  It 
is  the  aim  of  the  committees  that  the  book- 
sellers shall  finance  their  own  convention  instead 


of  asking  the  publishers  for  contributions  for 
entertainment.  This  can  be  done  by  charging 
a  small  registration  fee,  as  was  done  by  the 
National  Association  of  Stationers  and  Manu- 
facturers at  its  convention  last  October. 

CHAIRMEN   OF   COMMITTEES 

The  chairman  of  the  General  Committee  on 
Entertainment  and  Banquet  is  S.  L.  Nye  of 
S.  Kann  &  Son,  Washington,  D.  C.  The  chair- 
man of  the  Program  Committee  is  J.  Joseph 
Estabrook  of  Hochschild,  Kohn  &  Company, 
Baltimore,  Md. 

They  will  be  assisted  by  Sidney  Avery  of 
Brentano's,  Washington,  William  C.  Ballan- 
tyne  of  William  Ballantyne  &  Sons,  Washing- 
ton, Fred  S.  Woodward  of  Woodward  & 
Lothrop,  Washington,  and  Stanley  G.  Reming- 
ton of  Norman  Remington  Co.,  Baltimore. 

It  is  believed  that  the  first  meeting  of  the 
Convention  will  be  held  on  Monday  afternoon. 
If  the  plans  for  the  entertainment  are  carried 
out,  it  will  be  the  banner  convention  in  the 
history  of  the  Association,  as  it  will  include  a 
reception  by  President  Harding  to  the  Associa- 
tion on  the  afternoon  of  the  nth  followed  by 
the  banquet  in  the  evening. 

By  opening  the  Convention  on  the  afternoon 
of  May  8th,  it  will  allow  for  those  who  arrive 
on  Sunday  plenty  of  time,  and  for  those  who 
arrive  on  Monday  morning  an  opportunity  to 
be  present  at  the  opening  session. 

Another  American  Invasion 

WHEN  the  Berlin  dispatches  carried  re- 
cently a  story  about  the  burning  in  the 
streets  of  Berlin  of  40,000  dime  novels,  it 
seemed  to  indicate  that  the  youth  of  Germany 
was  being  protected  from  any  alien  invasion. 
One  reader  of  the  dispatch  has  reasoned  it  out 
that  the  German  soldiers  having  heard  so  much 
about  our  "Bear  Cat"  battalions  had  felt  that 
German  youth  needed  to  be  fed  on  Wild  West 
literature  in  order  to  be  able  to  hold  their  own. 
If  this  was  the  reason  for  their  increased  con- 
sumption of  this  literature,  the  concerted  move- 
ment to  stop  its  use  can  surely  be  treated  as 
a  pacifist  measure  helping  on  the  peace  of  the 
world. 

The  same  dispatch  says  that  the  Berlin  boys 
who  parted  with  these  treasures  were  provided 
in  their  place  with  "classical  works  and  other 
good  books."  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  if  such  a 
selection  were  made  the  Berlin  boys  did  not 
cease  reading  altogether  but  did  really  benefit 
by  the  change.  This  German  censorship  seems 
to  have  its  counterbalance  in  this  country 
where  there  have  been  several  efforts  to  elim- 
inate certain  harsh  and  gruesome  features 
from  Grimm's  "Fairy  Tales"  in  order  that  the 
American  children  may  not  be  coarsened. 

With  the  new  international  character  of  liter- 
ature being  thus  demonstrated,  the  system  of 
exchange  professors  can  have  but  relatively 
small  influence  compared  to  the  appalling  pos- 
sible effect  of  Wild  West  heroes  going  to  Ber- 
lin and  German  witches  coming  to  our  hearth- 
sides.

Religious  Book  Week  Under  Way        The  Fellowship  of  Booksellers 


THE  Religious  Book  Week  feature  of  the 
general  Year  Round  Bookselling  plan  has 
now  had  its  work  well  outlined,  and  the 
Committee  in  charge   is  as  follows. 

F.    S.    Braselman,    Presbyterian    Board    of 
Publication. 

Arthur    F.    Stevens,    The    Methodist    Book 
Concern. 

H.  W.  Cressman,  American  Baptist  Publi- 
cation Society. 

Vernor    Schenck,    Congregational    Publishing 
Society. 

Arthur  Kenedy,  P.  J.  Kenedy  and  Sons. 

S.    Edgar   Briggs,   The   Fleming  H.   Revell 
Co. 

William    Thomson,    Thomas     Nelson    and 
Sons. 

Charles  M.  Roe,  George  H.  Doran  Co. 

Donald    P.    Bean,    University    of    Chicago 
Press. 

William    McGhee,    Kaufman's,     Pittsburgh, 
Pa. 

Charles  E.  B'loch,  The  Jewish  Book  Concern. 

This  Committee  was  selected  at  a  general 
meeting  of  the  religious  publishers  held  in  the 
conference  room  of  the  National  Association 
of  Book  Publishers'  office,  and  the  details 
for  the  work  were  plotted  out.  The  date, 
as  has  already  been  announced,  is  April  2nd 
to  8th.  It  is  hoped  and  expected  that  book- 
sellers will  find  'this  an  unusual  opportunity 
to  display  religious  books.  And  in  the  fol- 
lowing week,  Easter  week,  the  display  of  de- 
votional books  and  Bibles  is  always  a  book- 
trade  feature. 

The  large  religious  organizations  have 
found  this  plan  of  general  co-operation  of 
great  value  in  stimulating  new  interest  and 
better  methods  in  book  use  thruput  the  coun- 
try, and  the  ministers  and  religious  papers 
have  seen  an  opportunity  for  promoting  re- 
ligious reading  in  a  way  very  much  in  ac- 
cord with  their  own  natural  inclinations. 

The  Committee  has  felt  that  the  big  theme 
to  be  emphasized  this  year  was  the  need  of 
enrichment  of  the  religious  home  life  thru 
religious  books,  and  this  thought  will  be  ex- 
pressed in  posters  and  general  discussion.  Al- 
ready editors  of  the  religious  press  have 
been  making  suggestions,  and  prominent 
writers  in  the  churches  have  promised  articles 
and  messages.  As  was  shown  in  the  way 
the  church  leaders  took  up  the  subject  of 
children's  reading  last  fall,  the  general 
thought  of  the  place  of  books  in  relation  to 
the  church  has  been  coming  to  the  front, 
which  will  make  the  co-operation  much 
more  complete. 

"What  causes  most  human  troubles?  Lack 
of  knowledge.  What  is  the  remedy?  Read- 
ing good  books." 

"How  only  can  one  get  the  greatest  good 
from  books?  By  owning  them." 

— W.  F.  Gregory,  Manager  Lothrop,  Lee  & 
Shepard  Company,  Boston,  in  New  Era  Maga- 
zine. 


AT  the  Booksellers'  Convention  last  May, 
announcement  was  made  of  the  election 
of   the   first    members   to  the   Honorary 
Fellowship   of    American    Booksellers,   which 
had    been    instituted    by    the    Association    to 
provide   a   method   for  giving  recognition  to 
those  booksellers  who  had  raised  their  stand- 
ards to  a  commendable  level. 

The  Committee  in  charge  of  this  Fellow- 
ship, as  appointed  by  President  Herr  of  the 
Association,  is  now  sending  out  to  all  mem- 
bers an  announcement  that  nominations  will 
now  be  received  for  the  second  year  and  that 
five  names  will  again  be  selected  from  those 
nominated.  The  Committee  in  charge  con- 
sists of  Frederic  G.  Melcher,  of  the  PUB- 
LISHERS' WEEKLY  as  Chairman;  Henry  S. 
Hutchinson,  New  Bedford,  Mass. ;  John  T. 
Hotchkiss,  of  the  J.  K.  Gill  Company,  Port- 
land, Oregon ;  W.  P.  Blessing,  of  the  Pres- 
byterian Board  of  Publication,  Chicago; 
Belle  M.  Walker,  of  the  Bookseller  and 
Stationer,  New  York,  and  Eugene  L.  Herr, 
Lancaster,  Pa.,  ex  officio. 

Nominations  either  on  the  official  blank 
or  otherwise  can  be  sent  to  the  Chairman 
any  time  before  March  1st.  In  connection 
with  the  nomination,  there  should  be  sent 
in  a  brief  account  of  the  business  career  and 
a  few  comments  on  the  outstanding  char- 
acteristics of  the  nominee's  bookselling 
knowledge  and  abilities.  Those  elected  last 
year  were :  Charles  E.  Butler,  New  York : 
George  W.  Jacobs,  Philadelphia ;  William 
Harris  Arnold,  New  York;  J.  K.  Gill,  Port- 
land, Oregon ;  and  Joseph  M.  Jennings,  Bos- 
ton. 

The  plan  of  the  Fellowship  is  that  nomina- 
tions may  be  made  by  anyone  in  the  book- 
trade  and  that  after  March  ist  these  nom- 
inations will  be  put  into  the  form  of  the 
ballot  and  sent  out  to  the  Association  mem- 
bers for  vote.  About  two  hundred  ballots 
were  cast  in  all  last  year. 

The  Fellowship  has  no  separate  officers  or 
organization,  but  it  is  believed  that  by  this 
method  the  standards  toward  which  the  Ameri- 
can retail  book-trade  hopes  to  direct  its  pro- 
gress will  be  indicated  by  the  character  and 
records  of  the  men  who  are  chosen  for  this 
honor.  An  inscribed  parchment  is  prese'nted 
to  each  one  elected,  and  the  announcements  of 
election  are  not  made  until  the  annual  Con- 
vention. Any  person  nominated  one  year  who 
does  not  happen  to  fall  among  the  first  five  in 
the  election  can  be  renominated  for  another 
ballot.  The  making  of  such  nominations  de- 
pends on  the  initiative  of  the  friends  of  the 
booksellers,  and  the  Committee  hopes  that 
those  who  know  among  their  bookseller 
friends,  men  or  women,  who  should  be  con- 
sidered for  this  honor  will  take  pains  to  see 
that  the  nominations  are  made.  Extra  blanks 
for  the  purpose  describing  the  details  will  be 
sent  by  the  Chairman  on  request.

HEYWOOD  BROUN'S  correspondents, 
writing  to  his  columns,  "It  Seems  To  Me" 
in  the  New  York  World,  have  been  making  a

Books  of  Cheer  and  Diversion

one  group  of  readers  is  "Two  Hundred  B'ooks 
for  Every-Day  Use  in  the  Hospital"  that  has 
just  been  published  by  the  Sioux  City  Public 
Library,  Iowa.  The  hospital  work  of  Sioux 
City  has  been  a  model  of  what  can  be  done  in 
the  direction  of  turning  books  to  the  best  advan- 
tage in  hospital  work,  and  the  description  of  its 
efforts  has  been  widely  quoted  in  medical  papers 
thruout  the  country.  Because  of  thp  well  direct- 
ed character  of  the  work  at  Sioux  City,  the  list 
will  be  of  importance  to  all  who  are  interested 
to  see  that  books  come  to  their  full  value  in  this 
tremendously  important  field.  Copses  of  the 
list  can  be  purchased  at  150  each  from  the 
Sioux  City  Public  Library  Board  of  Trustees. 


January  14,  1922 


English   Book-Trade  News 

(From  Our  London  Correspondent) 


WHILE  pre-war  standards  of  Christmas 
sales  were  not  reached  this  year,  either 
in  volume  or  cheapness  of  books,  the 
holiday  season  of  bookselling  was  extremely 
good,  in  spite  of  pessimism  in  certain  places. 
There  is  always  pessimism  in  the  trade  of 
books,  no  matter  whether  you  maKe,  issue  or 
sell  them.  Why  is  it?  We  have  looked  for 
the  reason  everywhere;  we  have  discussed  it 
•with  the  pessimist  and  the  optimist;  we  have 
examined  conditions  in  all  departments  of  the 
trade,  but  we  have  failed  to  rind  the  reason — 
and  what  is  infinitely  better — we  have  failed  to 
find  just  cause. 

Granted  that,  every  now  and  again  the  spirits 
of  the  trader,  whatever  it  is  he  deals  in,  get 
down  to  a  pretty  low  ebb,  if  he  doesn't  watch 
out,  in  that  depth  they  may  stay.  Pessimism 
has  no  place  in  business,  and  the  exponent  of 
it  never  gets  very  high  in  his  concern.  Shrewd 
leaders  weed  such  encumberers  out;  they  are 
like  rotten  apples;  they  affect  others.  That 
means  clogged  machinery.  It  is  the  balanced 
optimist  who  scores,  and  he  is  a  valuable 
person.  Somehow,  it  is  quite  a  fashionable 
thing  to  grouse  about  bad  business  where  books 
are  concerned,  but  it  is,  like  the  devil,  never  so 
bad  as  it  is  painted. 

The  stores  here  were  well  filled,  and  good 
buying  went  on.  Fortunately,  the  weather  was 
bright,  and  that  meant  money,  as  you  know, 
for  the  bookseller.  The  Christmas  book  buyer 
is  not  altogether  easy  to  satisfy.  He  wants  a 
certain  kind  of  book,  but  iust  what  he  has  in 
his  mind  is  not  always  clear.  Now  that  is  the 
burden  of  the  assistant  which  he  shoulders 
rationally  and  with  good  temper.  Many  books 
have  to  be  shown  .before  satisfaction  is  given. 
When  the  right — apparently  right — book  is 
decided  upon,  there  is  a  sigh  of  relief.  On  the 
whole,  while  the  Englist  Christmas  book  buyer 
is  exacting,  he  is  a  very  pleasant  individual  to 
deal  with.  We  have  spoken  of  "he,"  but  more 
often  than  not  the  buyer  is  a  "she,"  and  perhaps 
there  is  a  little  more  difficulty  there. 

Among  those  books  which  everyone  asked  for 
were  not  a  few,  which,  besides  being  "popular" 
— nowadays  a  recommendation — were  also  read- 
able. Of  course,  the  classics  old  and  modern, 
have  rows  and  stacks  to  themselves,  while  there 
may  be  seen  piles  of  sucH  new  hooks  as  Gene 
Stratton-Porter's  "Her  Father's  Daughter." 
There  is  a  great  run  on  her.  rtuge  Walpole's 
"Young  Enchanted"  and  Brett  Young's  "Red 
Knight"  are  going  strong.  "Mrs.  Bindle"  is 
doing  a  roariner  trade,  much  to  Mr.  Jenkins's 
Helight.  but  the  novel  which  is  probably  selling 
better  than  anv  is  that  exquisite  romance,  "If 
Winter  Comes,"  by  A'.  S.  M.  Hutchinson.  Its 
success  here  is  great,  but  in  America  we  hear 
it  is  enormous. 

A  great  Christmas  seller  was  Wilfrid  Evart's 
"Way  of  Revelation."  the  finest  war  novel  yet 


written.  It  is  a  first  novel,  and  the  publishers 
"backed  their  fancy"  by  printing  many  thou- 
sands of  copies.  They  must  feel  very  happy 
about  it.  Other  books  in  much  demand  this 
holiday  time  are  Carpenter's  "Blocking  of  Zee- 
brugge,"  Ponting's  "Great  White  South,"  Mr. 
Duster's  epoch-making  book,  Sir  William 
Robertson's  autobiography,  "Old  Time  Stories," 
"The  Mirrors  of  Washington,"  Ben  Hecht's 
"Erik  Dorn,"  Drinkwater's  "Oliver  Cromwell," 
"Recollections  and  Reflections,"  Caine's  "Men- 
doza  and  the  Little  Lady,"  Hull's  "Shadow  of 
the  East,"  Sir  Sidney  Colvin's  "Memories," 
Hall  Caine's  "Master  of  Man,"  Marie  Corelli's 
"Secret  Power,"  Lord  Salisbury's  "Life,"  Lord 
Rosebery's  "Miscellanies,"  the  book  of  Lord 
Frederick  Hamilton,  Professor  Jack's  "The 
Legend  of  Smokeover,"  Conan  Doyle's  "Wan- 
derings of  a  Spiritualist,"  Farnol's  "Martin 
Conisby's  Vengeance,"  "Collecting  Antiques  for 
Pleasure  and  Profit,"  George's  "Ursula  Trent," 
Norman  Davey's  "Guinea  Girl,"  Lady  Angela 
Forbes's  "Memories,"  the  new  novels  by 
Lowndes,  Maxwell  and  McKenna,  "Kate  Green- 
away's  Pictures,"  and  many,  many  others  too 
numerous  to  mention. 

The  books  with  pictures  by  the  late  Lovat 
Fraser  are  very  successful,  while  "The  Story 
of  the  Mikado"  is  an  exceedingly  popular  book. 
Finally,  the  publishers  tell  us  that  a  very  large 
number  of  subscriptions  are  being  taken  by 
booksellers  for  that  enormously  fascinating  new 
twenty-part  serial,  "Outline  of  Science,''  by 
Professor  J.  Arthur  Thomson.  People  are 
making  Christmas  present;  of  subscriptions  to 
old  and  young.  The  success  of  the  whole  un- 
dertaking has  exceeded  the  utmost  expectations 
of  the  promoters,  and  the  first  issues  have  been 
printed  again  and  again. 

And  now  for  1922  we  hope  a  brisk  drop  in 
costs  and  a  fine  rise  in  sales. 

The  Only  Real  Readers 

A     BOOK-MARK   used   during   the   recent 
Canadian  Book  Week  quoted  the  following 
from  Stephen  Leacock,  a  selection,  headed  "The 
Only  Real  Readers": 

"As  a  writer  of  books  it  is  my  opinion  that 
children,  or  at  least  young  persons,  are  the  best 
readers ;  indeed,  the  only  real  readers.  Grown 
up  adults  are  badly  damaged.  They  read  in 
an  inattentive  way,  with  no  real  effort  of  men- 
tal power  to  fuse  the  picture  before  them  into 
the  white  heat  of  imasrination.  They  read  and 
forget.  Thev  would  pass  by  Weller  and  never 
see  him.  They  would  forget  Huck  Finn's 
name  over-night.  Their  judgments  are  the 
standard  of  education  and  their  admiration  lies 
dead  in  the  crave  of  their  childhood.  For 
real  literary*  success  let  me  tell  a  fairy  story 
to  the  listening  ears  and  wondering  face  of 
my  little  son  of  four."

to  enter  into  the  bookshop  field,  and  developed 
her  store  along  individual  and  attractive  lines. 
About  three  years  ago,  her  health  made  it  im- 
perative for  her  to  leave  for  higher  climates, 
and  the  business  was  conducted  for  her  by 
W.  J.  Crull,  at  first  as  a  temporary  arrangement,

spent  in  the  Philippines.  She  retired  in  1918 
and  purchased  the  Occult  Bookshelf  and  rapidly 
absorbed  several  other  concerns.  She  had  been 
ill  for  nearly  two  years.  She  is  survived  by

First  New  York  Bookselling  Class 

THE  lecture  room  connected  with  the  New 
York  Library  School  was  filled  to  capac- 
ity on  January  6th  at  the  first  lecture  of  the 
series  on  bookselling,  which  is  in  charge  of 
Miss  Bessie  Graham  of  Philadelphia,  under  the 
auspices  of  the  New  York  Booksellers'  League. 
Mr.  Eisele,  as  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on 
Arrangements,  was  in  charge  of  starting  the 
course,  and  it  was  found  that  the  capacity  of 
'the  hall  had  been  easily  sold  out  at  five  dollars 
for  the  course  of  twelve  lectures. 

Miss  Graham's  opening  lecture  was  on  bio- 
graphies, and,  after  a  general  introduction  to 
the  subject,  she  gave  a  most  interesting  account 
of  the  place  of  the  popular  books  in  the  bio- 
graphical field  from  Boswell's  "Johnson"  to 
"Edward  Bok."  Her  comment  on  these  books 
is  of  the  kind  most  valuable  to  booksellers,  be- 
ing ,iull  of  incisive  comparisons  and  interesting 
anecdotes  that  give  the  retailer  just  the  needed 
material  to  help  him  describe  the  book  to  those 
interested.  The  class  will  follow  Miss  Graham's 
"Bookman's  Manual"  as  a  guide  for  study. 

After  the  hour's  lecture,  which  begins  at  seven 
o'clock,  there  will  always  be  a  talk  on  some 
general  trade  subject,  and  at  this  session  the 
subject  chosen  by  the  Chairman  was  that  of 
"Book-Trade  Periodicals,"  which  was  covered 
by  Frederic  G.  Melcher. 

Women's  Book  Association 

ARTHUR  Somers  Roche,  author  of  "The 
Day  of  Faith"  which  was  published  by

will  read  from  Mark  Twain's  "Joan  of  Arc,"

Rare  Books  Autographs  and   Prints 


ETCHINGS  of  New  York    by  C.    F.  Mie- 
latz  are  on  view  at  the  Brown  Robertson 
Galleries    and    will    be    followed    next 
month  by  the  etchings  of  a  group  of  American 
artists. 

Hodgson  &  Company  of  London  have  re- 
cently been  instrumental  in  bringing  to  light 
a  hitherto  unrecorded  copy  of  the  first  edition 
of  Caxton's  "Chronicles  of  England,"  1480. 

Thomas  J.  Holmes  of  Cleveland,  who  has 
been  engaged  for  several  years  in  compiling  a 
bibliography  of  the  writings  of  Cotton  Mather, 
the  New  England  divine,  has  nearly  completed 
his  task. 

Dickens  first  editions  have  been  bringing 
good  prices  in  London.  A  copy  of  "Pickwick," 
in  parts,  brought  £610;  "A  Tale  of  Two 
Cities,"  in  parts,  £80;  and  the  "Sketches  of 
Boz,"  3  vols.,  original  cloth,  £76. 

Historical  records  of  cathedrals  and  cities  of 
France  made  between  October,  1918,  and 
March,  1919,  by  D.  Putnam  Brinley  are  on 
view  at  the  Montross  Galleries.  The  drawings 
were  made  on  the  spot  in  one  sitting  and  record 
conditions  now  being  altered. 

A  collection  of  early  aquatints  is  now  on 
exhibition  at  the  New  York  Public  Library. 
Invented  in  1768,  the  acquatint  was  popular, 
especially  as  a  medium  for  illustration,  for 
nearly  a  century.  The  selections  bring  out  the 
beauty  of  the  work  done  during  the  height  of 
its  popularity  very  effectively. 

A  collection  of  books  of  modern  authors, 
mainly  first  editions,  together  with  original 
manuscripts  of  the  late  Edgar  Saltus  and  other 
important  books  and  autographs  from  various 
consignments  will  be  sojd  at  the  Anderson  Gal- 
leries January  18.  The  collections  of  Conrad, 
Hardy,  Masefield,  Swinburne  and  Wilde  are 
especially  noteworthy.  There  are  several  manu- 
scripts of  Walt  Whitman  of  very  great  interest 
that  collectors  of  the  Good  Grey  Poet  cannot  af- 
ford to  overlook. 

The  New  York  Public  Library  Bulletin  notes 
the  accession  of  a  file  of  the  scarce  Columbian 
,  Mirror  and  Alexandrian  Gazette,  published  at 
Alexandria,  Va.,  covering  the  last  four  months 
of  Washington's  administration.  Another  ac- 
quisition is  the  Duplessis  portrait  of  Benjamin 
Franklin,  presented  by  Franklin  to  Louis  de 
Veilland.  mayor  of  Passy,  which  passed  into  the 
hands  of  M.  de  Senarmont,  from  whom  it  was 
secured  by  John  Bigelow  who  gave  it  to  the 
library. 

A  collection  of  missals,  codexes  and  ancient 
books  belonging  to  the  late  Emperor  Franz- 
Josef  of  Austria-Hungary  and  said  to  number 
upwards  of  10,000  items,  has  been  added  to  the 


Vatican  Library  for  the  use  of  students  of  all 
nations.  The  collection  was  the  property  of  a 
Roman  nobleman  who  donated  it  to  the  Jesuits 
on  condition  that  if  the  order  was  suppressed 
it  should  be  placed  in  the  care  of  the  Emperor 
who  thus  became  the  owner  in  1873. 

The  fine  collection  of  cookery  books  gathered 
by  Blanche  DuPuy,  together  with  many  rarities 
in  all  classes  of  literature  from  various  con- 
signors will  be  sold  at  the  Anderson  Galleries 
January  18.  The  rarer  items  include  a  mag- 
nificent copy  of  the  original  folio  edition  of 
Audubon's  "Birds  of  America"  and  also  of  the 
"Quadrupeds;"  a  number  of  Kate  Greenaway 
items  including  presentation  copies  and  original 
drawings;  Milton's  "Paradise  Lost,"  first  edi- 
tion with  the  1667  title;  William  Pitt's  copy 
of  the  Third  Folio  of  Shakespeare;  a  remark- 
able autograph  letter  of  Edgar  Allan  Poe  and 
many  other  lots  not  less  extraordinary. 

On  January  26  and  27  an  unusual  aggrega- 
tion of  rarities,  including  twenty-nine  con- 
signments large  and  small,  will  be  sold  at  the 
American  Art  Galleries.  The  largest  and 
most  important  of  all  consignments  is  a  part 
of  the  library  of  Frederick  Corder  of  London 
which  contains  some  very  rare  Cruikshank, 
Rowlandson  and  Dickens  books,  many  in  parts, 
in  the  choicest  condition  and  frequently  of  the 
utmost  rarity.  There  are  also  rare  association 
books,  first  editions  of  Kipling  from  the 
Martindell  collection;  collected  sets  of  first 
editions  of  English  and  American  authors,  un- 
published manuscripts  and  colored  plate  books. 
It  will  probably  be  the  most  important  sale 
of  the  season  thus  far  at  the  American  Art 
Galleries  this  season. 

The  famous  collection  of  first  editions,  asso- 
ciation books,  autograph  letters,  manuscripts, 
and  relics  of  Charles  Dickens  gathered  by  the 
late  Dr.  R.  T.  Jupp  of  London,  will  be  sold  at 
the  Anderson  Galleries  February  i  and  2.  The 
catalog  contains  491  lots  including  some  of  the 
greatest  importance  such  as  "Pickwick,"  in 
parts,  with  rare  points;  Dickens  "Memoranda 
Book"  containing  ideas  for  books  written  and 
unwritten ;  the  manuscript  account  of  the  death 
of  Grip  the  raven ;  upwards  of  one  hundred 
autograph  letters,  some  of  great  personal  and 
literary  interest,  and  a  number  of  personal 
relics  among  them  Dickens'  wedding  gift  to  his 
bride,  the  writing  case  he  used  in  America,  etc., 
all  duly  authenticated  by  Georgiana  Hogarth. 

The  New  York  Evening  Post  sums  up  the 
menace  of  the  Fordney  Tariff  schedule  on  books 
as  follows :  "The  amount  of  the  general  duty 
would  be  raised  not  merely  to  the  old  25  per 
cent  level,  but,  thanks  to  the  American  valua- 
tion section,  in  many  instances  high  beyond  it — 
to  30  or  35  per  cent.  This  increase  would 
wholly  disrupt  the  long-established  co-operative 
arrangement  between  American  and  British 


January  14,  1922

publishers  to  which  we  owe  the  possibility  of 
the  publication  of  many  scholarly  books  of 
limited  demand  and  many  series  of  books  upon 
which  British  and  American  authors  have 
collaborated.  It  would  thus  injure  no  fewer 
than  175,000,000  English-reading  people  thru- 
out  the  world." 

"It  is  a  remarkable  feature  of  the  present 
state  of  the  book  market,"  says  the  Bookman's 
Journal  of  London,  "that  there  has  been  so 
keen  a  demand  for  the  writings  of  moderns,  in 
particular,  perhaps,  George  Moore,  W.  B'. 
Yeats,  Max  Beerbohm,  John  Masefield  and 
Walter  de  la  Mare,  the  latter  a  writer  of 
peculiar  charm  and  delicacy,  whose  accession 
to  the  ranks  of  collected  authors  has  been 
too  long  delayed.  Tho  the  enthusiasm  of  col- 
lectors of  such  first  editions  is  not  a  whit  less 
than  their  brethren  of  ampler  means  who  in- 
dulge in  Caxtons  and  First  Folios  the  field  is 
nevertheless  open  to  a  much  larger  circle,  and 
certainly  affords  a  relative  interest." 

France  has  preparations  well  in  hand  for  the 
commemoration  this  year  of  the  tercentenary 
of  the  birth  of  Moliere  which  occurs  this  year. 
The  absence  of  papers  written  or  signed  by 
him  is  being  discussed  anew.  As  actor,  author, 
and  manager  he  led  one  of  the  busiest  of  lives 
but  it  is  a  mystery  what  has  become  of  every 
scrap  of  his  writing.  Only  three  signatures  are 
known  to  exist,  one  of  these  is  owned  by  the 
Comedie  Franchise  and  another  is  in  the  Na- 
tional Archives.  Fifty  years  ago  a  receipt  of 
six  lines  signed  "Moliere"  dated  1656  was 
brought  to  light  and  a  few  years  later  another 
receipt  of  four  lines  was  discovered,  but  both 
documents  were  pronounced  forgeries  by  ex- 
perts. There  has  been  many  theories  and  an 
incredible  amount  of  searching  but  without 
result. 

The  January  number  of  the  Bookman's 
Journal  and  Print  Collector  is  at  hand  and  in 
text  and  illustration  is  quite  equal  to  the  pre- 
ceding three  issues  in  its  new  form.  The  first 
article  is  an  interesting  discussion  of  the  ques- 
tion, '"Should  Translations  Improve  upon  their 
Authors?"  by  Arthur  Symons ;  "The  Etchings 
and  Dry-Points  of  William  P.  Robins,"  with 
illustrations,  is  the  subject  of  an  illuminating 
article  by  Malcolm  C.  Salamon;  the  rarity  of 
"The  First  School  Prizes,"  with  illustrations, 
by  A.  W.  Pollard,  of  the  British  Museum  will 
especially  interest  collectors;  "With  Queen 
Elizabeth  to  Westminster,"  with  illustrations, 
by  W.  Jaggard,  is  alive  with  historical  interest. 
In  addition  to  special  articles  there  are  the 
usual  departments,  Notes  on  Prints  Old  and 
New,"  "Book  Reviews,"  "American  Notes"  by 
George  H.  Sargent,  "Books  in  the  Sale  Rooms," 
"Book  Prices,"  "Catalogues  from  Bookshops," 
"Correspondence,"  and  the  specially  interesting 
feature  "Men  and  Matters."  The  collecting  of 
books,  autographs  and  prints  has  become  highly 
technical.  The  collector  cannot  know  too  much 
about  what  is  doing;  even  a  little  knowledge 
sometimes  saves  much  money.  The  need  for  a 
periodical  of  this  kind  is  apparent  to  every  one. 


The  way  to  give  it  its  greatest  usefulness  is  to 
subscribe  for  it,  read  it.  keep  in  touch  with  its 
editors  and  encourage  them  to  do  their  best. 
Booksellers  and  collectors  should  give  this  mat- 
ter their  attention  for  it  is  for  their  interest 
that  there  should  be  an  international  periodical 
of  this  kind  brought  to  the  highest  degree  of 
efficiency.  F.  M.  H.

What   Our  Forefathers  Fought  For 

andemarks 


A  novel  by 
HERBERT  QUICK 


T  N  the  life-story  of  one  man  Herbert  Quick  presents 

the   epic   of  the    Middle   West    pioneers,    the    vast 

picture  of  America  on  the  march  and  in  the  wilderness. 

A  romance  of  the  strong  and  earnest  men  and  women 
who  tamed  Nature  in  the  face  of  fire  and  storm  and  won 
their  way  to  ordered  life  through  the  lawless  recklessness 
of  changing  times. 

A  novel  of  the  soil  yielding  to  labor  and  courage.  A 
novel  of  its  conquerors,  human  and  passionate  and  as 
actual  as  the  sunshine.

GERTRUDE  ATHERTON'S 

Heart-gripping  novel  of  San  Francisco  and  New  York 


SLEEPING 
FIRES 


The  success  of  SISTERS-IN-LAW,  still  going 
a  year,  points  to  big  sales  for  Mrs.  Atherton's  1922  novel, 
SLEEPING  FIRES,  which  is  likely  to  be  more  talked  about 
even  than  SISTERS-IN-LAW. 

SLEEPING  FIRES  is  more  closely  packed  with  action  than 
any  novel  Mrs.  Atherton  has  written.  The  scene  is  San  Francisco 
and  New  York  around  1870,  but  the  problems  that  make  up  the 
plot  know  no  definite  period.  No  novel  we  have  ever  read  treats 
the  eternal  triangle  in  a  similar  manner.

Can  Books 
be  SOLD 


The  average  publisher  issues  scores  of  books 
each  year,  scatters  half-hearted  support  among 
them,  and  hopes  that  one  or  more  may  catch  the 
public  fancy  and  be  bought  in  quantities.  He 
does  not  jr//his  wares  as  other  manufacturers  do. 
He  gambles  on  issuing  something  that  the  pub- 
lic will  take  away  from  him. 

Each  year  he  repeats  this  process,  abandon- 
ing books  that  showed  promise  in  order  to 
bring  out  new  failures. 

After  investigation,  the  Business  Survey  of 
THE  CHICAGO  TRIBUNE  has  come  to  the  conclus- 
ion that  books  can  be  sold  and  that  advertising 
can  be  an  invaluable  aid  in  selling  them.  Book 
publishers  have  run  announcements  in  THE 
TRIBUNE,  but  (except  in  the  case  of  subscription 
books)  have  never  advertised  their  wares  in  this 
market.  But  it  can  be  done — profitably. 


We  invite  discussion  with  any  publisher 
who  wishes  to  substitute  modern  merchan- 
dising methods  for  the  lottery  element  in 
his  business. 


THE  WORLDS   CPEATEST 


January  21,  1922 


ELEANOR 
GATES 


100%  American  this  novelist  and  playwright  can  be  called.  Geographically,  she 
hails  from  the  West,  born  in  Minnesota,  brought  up  in  South  Dakota'  and 
California.  Her  family,  with  many  distinguished  members,  runs  back  for  three 
hundred  years  in  New  York  and  New  England.  From  her  childhood  dates  her 
love  for  the  open  and  for  horses.  At  the  age  of  three,  we  learn,  she  could  sit  her 
horse  on  the  Dakota  prairies  and  was  presented  with  her  first  saddle.  From  five 
to  eleven  she  "punched  cows"  and,  with  her  brothers,  was  an  active  trapper.  It 
was  on  the  great  plains  that  she  first  came  in  contact  with  literature;  Scott, 
Dickens,  Thackeray,  Byron  swung  at  her  saddle  horn !  At  Stanford  University 
and  the  University  of  California,  later,  her  years  of  study  were  completed. 
A  move  to  New  York  started  her  active  career  of  writing,  with  delightful  short 
stories  followed  up  by  the  novels  and  plays  that  have  won  her  fame.  "The  Poor 
Little  Rich  Girl,"  both  as  novel  and  play,  made  her  name  a  household  word 
throughout  the  country.  Its  appealing  fancifulness  and  droll  humor  leading 
critics  to  hail  her  as  "the  American  Barrie."  Eleanor  Gates  is  the  wife  of  Fred- 
erick Moore,  author  of  "Siberia  Today,"  "The  Samovar 
Girl"  and  other  popular  volumes.  While  riding  continues 
to  be  her  favorite  recreation,  she  also  is  proud  of  her 
abilities  as  a  cook. 

THE  RICH  LITTLE  POOR  BOY,  Eleanor  Gates'  new  novel, 
is  of  most  unusual  significance.  A  great  big  idea  is  back  of  it 
which  will  win  for  it  a  vast  audience  of  readers.  This  idea  is 
that  there  is  a  power  within  each  one  of  us  by  which  we  can 
win  our  way  to  happiness  and  success,  regardless  of  how  smoth- 
ering may  be  the  every-day  details  of  our  surroundings.  In  its 
pages  is  told  with  entrancing  fancy  and  drollest  humor  the  story 
of  how  a  little  boy  in  the  city  slums  found  high  content  through 
the  gift  of  an  imagination  which  could  make  a  Niagara  out  of 
the  kitchen  sink  and  could  bring  Rockefeller  into  intimate  con- 
.  verse  over  the  clothes-line  telephone  wires !  In  entertaining 
chapters,  with  pleasing  characters  and  skillfully  built  action. 
Eleanor  Gates'  novel  has  an  idea  in  it  that  will  sell  it  to  every 
man  and  woman  (and  child,  too),  who  finds  pleasure  between 
the  covers  of  a  book.  $2.00  net.

We  are  confident  that  this  story  of  the  California  wilder- 
ness by  the  author  of  "MAN  TO  MAN"  and  "JUDITH 
OF  BLUE  LAKE  RANCH"  will  score  a  striking  suc- 
cess. Gregory,  with  five  successful  novels  to  his  credit, 
has  been  steadily  building  up  a  strong  following.  He 
has  put  luch  good  work  into  "THE  EVERLASTING 
WHISPER"  that  we  expect  it  to  double  the  total  reached 
by  any  of  his  previous  books.

It  is  absolutely  the  real  thing;  a  novel 
so  fine,  so  sincere,  so  absorbing  that 
it  cannot  be  overpraised  or  oversold.

Half  a  million  copies  of  Mr.  Har- 
rison's three  previous  novels  have 
been  sold. 

We  believe  this  new  book  will  be 
the  most  notable  novel  of  the 
new  year. 

And  we  will  back  this  belief  with  an 
advertising  campaign  proportionate 
to  the  unlimited  selling  possibilities 
of  what  we  are  convinced  is  an 
even  more  compelling  novel  than

Brothers  have  added  it  to  their  list  of  distinguished 
authors  confident  that  Mr.  Hurst's  success  and  perman- 
ent standing  are  assured  by  his  amazing  first  novel.  Only 
a  man  of  his  keen  intelligence  and  wild  and  weird  exper- 
iences could  have  written  it.  He  went  to  sea  at  sixteen 
and  sailed  before  the  mast  in  ships  carrying  cargoes,  as 
well  as  pilgrims  and  convicts,  to  all  parts  of  the  East. 
His  book  is  called 

COOMER   ALI 

HERE  the  sailor  novelist  opens  up  a  new  world  of 
fiction — the  land  and  sea  from  Calcutta  to  Mecca. 
Coomer  AH  is  a  tale  of  three  of  the  strongest  characters 
that  ever  prayed  and  dreamed  and  schemed  through  the 
pages  of  fiction. 

Coomer  AH  is  a  fiery  little  Mohammedan  whom  Allah 
has  deserted  in  his  hour  of  need;  so  he  sets  out  for 
Mecca  to  tell  the  whole  M/phammedan  world  that  there 
is  no  Allah.  Captain  Armit  is  a  black-listed  British  sea 
captain  whose  opium  dreams  tempt  him  to  try  to  steal  a 
valuable  cargo.  And  Mr.  Brown  is  a  Far  Eastern  half- 
breed,  who  specializes  in  telling  others  how  to  escape 
punishment  for  crime  on  the  high  seas. 

Their  story  is  the  product  of  an  impatient  inquiring  mind 
which  has  penetrated  to  otherwise  unknown  depths  in  the 
life  of  the  Orient.  You  have  never  read  anything  like  it. 
It  will  be  widely  advertised,  and  is  the  kind  of  story  that 
will  make  record  sales  on  word  of  mouth  publicity.  It 
will  give  your  book  buyers  the  "S.  B.  H.  Hurst"  habit

TROUBLE- 
THErHOUSE 


By  KATE  JORDAN 


Author  of  "The Next  Corner,"  "Against  the  Winds,"  etc. 

We  expect  that  1922  sales  of  Kate  Jordan's  story  of  a  girl  "Penrod," 
TROUBLE-THE-HOUSE,  will  be  larger  than  the  sales  in  1921.  The  book 
is  receiving  the  enthusiastic  commendations  of  leading  reviewers — just 
the  sort  of  reviews  which  are  sure  to  start  people  reading  it. 

The  New  York  Evening  Post  says:  "A  delightful  yarn  about  a  little  girl 
whose  vaulting  imagination  was  continually  plunging  both  herself  and 
her  family  into  difficulties  .  .  .  There  is  much  observation  and  humor- 
ous sympathy  in  the  book  ...  It  will  prove  abundantly  entertaining  to 
ail  readers  furnished  with  a  humorous  appreciation  of  character."  The 
l\ew  York  Herald  says:  "The  book  is  pervaded  by  the  happy  laughter  of 
youth  that  will  reach  the  ears  of  many.  It  cannot  fail  to  touch  many 
hearts,  too,  for  beneath  the  joyousness  flows  a  tender  stream  of  quiet 
melancholy.  It  is  a  reminiscence  that  never  remains  only  that,  for  it 
is  a  novel  written  by  a  novelist."  The  New  York  Times  says:  "In  Kate 
Jordan's  latest  story  we  get  a  book  that  gives  us  a  girl  who  is  really  that. 
.  .  .  Susy  Gilvarry  is  as  real  as  'Penrod,'  and  as  intensely  individual,  an 
individuality  that  prevents  neither  of  these  engaging  youngsters  from  be- 
ing typical  of  childhood,  as  distinct  from  ma- 
turity, or  even  near-maturity.  No  one  can  read 
TROUBLE-THE-HOUSE  without  shouts  of 
laughter  .  .  .  It  is  a  book  as  fresh  and  brac- 
ing as  a  clear  wind  from  the  West.  To  the  last 
page  you  read  with  huge  entertainment  and 
•rrowing  sympathy.  Here  are  real  characters. 
There  is  a  background,  charming  as  an  old 
print,  .  .  .  and  here,  above  all,  are  real  chil- 
dren, real  girls."

Publishing  Association  Steps 
Ahead 

THE  new  publishers'  association,  the  Na- 
tional Association  of  Book  Publishers, 
enters  upon  its  third  year  with  a  record 
of  accomplishment  and  a  prospect  of  future 
continuance  and  usefulness,  which,  unhappily, 
previous  organizations  had  not  been  able  to 
show.  The  first  of  these,  the  American  Book- 
Trade  Union,  of  the  early  seventies,  was  start- 
ed by  the  retailers  of  the  Middle  West  under 
the  presidency  of  Isaac  B.  Aston  of  Colum- 
bus, O.,  and  later  under  the  presidency  of  An- 
son  D.  F.  Randolph  of  New  York,  who  as 
writer,  speaker,  editor,  publisher  and  book- 
seller combined  in  himself  the  several  relations 
of  the  association.  It  had  but  a  brief  career 
of  a  few  years,  and  its  surviving  leader  is 
Timothy  Nicholson  of  Richmond,  Indiana,  its 
treasurer,  who  still  preserves  his  business  re- 
lations with  the  trade  a«  a  retail  bookseller 
under  the  same  name  and  in  the  same  lo- 
cality as  fifty  years  ago. 

Next  came  the  American  Publishers'  Asso- 
ciation, which  started  upon  a  useful  career 
\\ith  every  promise  of  continuance,  but  which 
was  wrecked  by  the  decisions  of  the  Courts 
that  some  of  its  actions,  however  well  meant, 
violated  the  Anti-Trust  Law,  so  that  it  per- 
force came  to  an  end,  to  the  serious  cost  of 
many  of  its  members.  Curiously  enough,  it 
had  scarcely  gone  out  of  existence  before  the 
government  in  the  war  years  insisted  that 
there  ought  to  be  an  association  of  publishers 
with  which  the  government  could  deal.  The 
National  Association  of  Book  Publishers  has 
now  come  to  the  front  and  is  already  dealing 
with  questions,  such  as  tariff  and  copyright, 
in  close  relationship  with  our  government. 

The  record  of  the  Association,  as  presented 
at  the  business  meeting,  which  will  be  pub- 
lished in  full  in  our  ensuing  number,  tells  the 
story  in  detail  of  what  are  really  extraordi- 


107 

nary  accomplishments  \vithin  the  short  space 
of  sixteen  months.  Recently,  the  American 
Publishers'  Copyright  League  has  assimilated 
itself  with  the  larger  organization  as  its  Bu- 
reau of  Copyright,  and  throughout  this  pe- 
riod of  organization  the  new  Association  has 
liad  the  cordial  cooperation  of  publishers  with 
very  few  exceptions,  these  last  largely  because 
of  the  fear  of  having  relations  with  any  asso- 
ciation whatsoyer  in  view  of  the  mistaken  leg- 
islation of  several  states  as  to  educational 
books.  Except  for  these,  it  represents  com- 
pletely the  present  scope  and  variety  of  Amer- 
ican publishing,  and.  as  we  have  recently  had 
occasion  to  emphasize,  at  a  time  when  there  it 
large  expectation  that  American  publishing  is 
at  the  beginning  of  a  great  era  of  development. 

For  this  result  a  large  share  of  the  credit 
must  be  given  to  the  first  and  only  President 
of  the  Association,  who  has  stood  behind  the 
executive  officer  and  the  several  committees 
with  an  energy,  enthusiasm  and  business  acu- 
men which  have  been  one  of  the  chief  factors 
of  the  success  of  the  Association.  It  has  not 
been  given  to  any  President  of  the  United 
States,  even  Mr.  Roosevelt,  to  be  nominated 
for  a  third  term  through  a  constitutional 
amendment,  and  Mr.  Hiltman  has  been  moral- 
ly forced  by  the  pressure  of  his  appreciative 
associates  into  the  acceptance  of  the  burden 
of  this  post  of  honor  for  a  third  period. 

At  the  business  meeting  and  afterward  at 
the  convivial  gathering  there  was  universal 
appreciation  of  the  service  which  he  and  oth- 
ers had  done  for  the  whole  trade,  and  the 
unanimity  of  aim  and  breadth  of  purpose 
which  have  been  shown  throughout  this  short 
period  of  the  Association's  existence  give  high 
hopes  for  its  future  service  in  a  profession 
whkh  must  increase  in  ratio  both  with  our 
increasing  population  and  increasing  literacy. 

Price  Maintenance  Decision. 

THE  conditions  of  price  maintenance  is  only 
slightly  clarified  by  a  decision  hi  the  United 
States  SupremeCourt  in  the  Beechnut  Pack- 
ing Co.  case.  This  decision,  however,  decides 
that  any  producer  of  a  product  can  refuse  to 
sell  direct  to  any  purchaser  whose  business 
methods,  such  as  price-cutting,  he  objects  to. 
Whether  there  can  be  any  general  policy  of 
maintaining  prices  when  goods  are  passed 
through  other  hands  is  left  undecided.  As  it 
would  stand  to-day,  any  publisher  is  free,  as 
an  individual,  to  cut  off  any  account,  but  would 
not  be  free  to  maintain  prices  thru  others.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


America  and  the  International 
Copyright  Union 

THE  amendatory  copyright  bill,  of  which 
the  text  as  presented  to  Congress  on  be- 
half of  the  Authors'  League  is  printed 
elsewhere,  has  for  its  chief  purpose  the  en- 
trance of  America  into  that  particular  family 
of  nations  known  as  the  International  Copy- 
right Union.  This  was  one  of  the  earlier  pur- 
poses of  copyright  reform,  even  before  the 
Act  of  1891  which,  at  the  instance  of  the  Typo- 
graphical Unions,  contained  the  manufacturing 
clauses  which  made  entrance  into  the  Union 
impossible. 

The  passage  of  this  bill  would  not  only  give 
us  our  place  with  other  civilized  nations  in 
copyright  relations,  but  would  be  of  especial 
value  at  the  moment  in  strengthening  the 
influence  of  the  new  liberal  government  hi 
Canada,  which  desires  reciprocity  with  Ameri- 
ca, in  disapproving  the  copyright  measure 
with  the  manufacturing  clause  directed  against 
this  country,  which  passed  the  Canadian  Par- 
liament last  year  but  has  never  had  approval 
of  the  government. 

The  draft  for  the  copyright  amendatory  act 
has  been  modified  from  time  to  time  as  con- 
sultation developed  criticisms  or  suggestions. 

Section  i  provides  for  adhesion  to  the  In- 
ternational Copyright  Union,  which  consists 
in  notification  under  this  enabling  act  to  the 
Swiss  government  and  for  presidential  pro- 
clamation, presumably  of  simultaneous  date. 
The  provision  to  include  in  the  proclamation 
a  list  of  the  countries  comprising  the  Union 
was  omitted  because  of  the  awkward  precedent 
which  might  require  the  President  to  make 
proclamation  each  time  a  new  country  ad- 
hered to  the  Union. 

Sections  2  and  3  are  necessarv  concomit- 
ants of  entrance  into  the  International  Copy- 
right Union. 

Section  4  repeals  in  detail  the  manufactur- 
ing provisions  and  references  thereto,  the  re- 
peal having  the  assent  of  the  Typographical 
Unions. 

Section  5  contains  the  positive  declaration 
necessarv  for  entrance  into  the  International 
Copyright  Union  by  extending  the  scope  of 
our  copyright  laws  to  cover  works  bv  citizens 
or  subjects  of  any  country  which  is  in  the 
Union  and  works  by  Bothers  copyrighted  in  the 
countries  of  the  Union.  It  is  not  drawn  to 
extend  such  copyright  to  works  previously 
published,  and  it  is  not  vet  determined  whether 
this  will  be  in  the  way  of  our  becoming  a  Union 
country.  On  this  point  question  has  been 
asked  of  the  Director  of  the  International 
Copyright  Union.  Prof.  Rothlisber^er  at 
Berne,  who  is  the  highest  international  author- 
ity on  copyright.  The  main  and  evident  re- 
quirement is  that  no  formalities  should  be  re- 
quired, except  those  of  the  country  of  origin 


or  first  publication,  if  any.  Tho  this  requires 
that  works  by  foreign  authors  shall  not  be 
subject  to  the  formalities  required  for  do- 
mestic copyright  within  the  United  States,  it 
is  not  to  be  considered  that  this  is  a  discrimin- 
ation against  American  citizens,  because  they 
in  turn  have  the  right  to  copyright  protection 
thruout  all  the  countries  of  the  International 
Copyright  Union  without  any  other  formali- 
ties than  those  in  our  own  country. 

Section  6  replaces  the  absolute  prohibition 
of  importation  of  Section  31  of  the  copyright 
code  by  a  prohibition  conditioned  on  registra- 
tion and  deposit  by  the  proprietor  of  the  Am- 
erican copyright.  This  permits  importation 
without  question  until  such  registration  and 
deposit  are  made,  after  which  importation  is 
permissible  only  by  assent  of  the  American 
publisher,  with  the  exceptions  provided.  These 
are  the  same  as  in  the  previous  law,  except 
that  individuals  and  libraries  must  first  re- 
quire the  American  publisher  to  agree  within 
ten  days  to  furnish  the  desired  foreign  copy. 
This  provision  is  felt  bv  publishers  to  be  neces- 
sary to  assure  them  of  the  copyright  territory 
for  which  they  have  arranged,  but  the  libra- 
rians object  to  this  interpretation,  and  by  un- 
animous vote  at  the  A.  L.  A.  Council  meeting 
in  Chicago,  December  30th,  have  instructed 
their  Committee  to  oppose  this  change,  which 
must  apparently  be  fought  out  at  the  Con- 
gressional hearings.  It  should  be  noted  that 
this  section  is  confined  exclusively  to  books 
and  does  not  coyer  works  of  art,  etc. 

Section  7  provides  for  regulations  "as  pre- 
scribed" by  the  Supreme  Court,  which  phrase- 
ology extends  previous  regulations  to  cover 
the  new  circumstances  or  permits  additional 
regulations. 

Section  8  gives  the  President  immediate  au- 
thority to  act,  but  dates   rights   and  remedie- 
from   the   subsequent  date   of   the   President' 
proclamation. 

Doubtless,  discussions  of  the  bill  before  th 
Congressional      Committee      will      bring 
changes  which  may  prove  desirable  and  whi 
may  or  may  not  be  opposed,  but  it  is  to 
hoped  that  no  opposition  will  have  the  effe 
of   preventing  the   passage   of   the   bill   in  i 
essentials  and  of  stopping  our  progress  in  thi 
direction    and    our   better    relations    with   ou 
English-speaking  neighbor  across  the  imagin 
ary     boundary     which     separates     us      from 
Canada.

to  Congress,  on  behalf  of  the  Authors'  League, 
for    reference    to    the    Joint    Committee    on 
Patents,  which,  doubtless  will  later  give  public 
hearings.

Publishers  Have  Optimistic  Meeting 

Large  Attendance  at  2nd  Annual  Meeting  of  the  National  Association 


THE  second  annual  meeting  and  luncheon 
of  the  National  Association  of  Book 
Publishers  was  held  on  January  I7th  at 
the  Yale  Club  with  a  large  number  present. 
At  the  business  meeting,  John  W.  Hiltman, 
President  of  D.  Appleton  &  Company,  was 
elected  for  another  term  as  President,  and  in 
speaking  to  this  nomination  John  Macrae  of 
E.  P.  Button  &  Company  made  a  glowing  and 
well-deserved  tribute  to  the  initiative,  tact  and 
enthusiasm  which  had  been  shown  by  Mr. 
Hiltman  and  which  had  been  responsible  for 
the  growth  of  the  organization  and  the  value 
if  tne  work  accomplished. 

The  report  of  the  last  meeting  was  read  by 
Frank  C.  Dodd,  the  Secretary,  and  the  Trea- 
surer, Alexander  Grosset,  showed  that  the 
Association  had  lived  within  its  budget  and  had 
also  been  handling  funds  of  the  book  promo- 
tion campaigns  which  are  carried  on  as  a  sep- 
arate enterprise.  Both  Mr.  Dodd  and  Mr. 
Grosset  were  reelected  Secretary  and  Trea- 
surer, and  as  V ice-Presidents  John  Macrae 
of  E.  P.  Button  &  Company,  Charles  C.  Shoe- 
maker of  the  Perm  Publishing  Company,  Al- 
fred Mclntyre  of  Little  Brown  &  Company, 
Ogden  T.  McClurg  of  A.  C.  McClurg  &  Com- 
pany were  elected.  The  directors  for  three 
years  will  be  Wv  E.  Pulsifer  of  B.  C.  Heath 
&  Company,  William  Thomson  of  Thomas 
Nelson  Sons,  Edward  S.  Mills  of  Longmans, 
Green  &  Company,  Ogden  T.  McClurg  of  A. 
C.  McClurg  &  Company,  George  L.  Wheelock, 
The  Century  Company.  Ten  other  directors 
carry  over  for  the  ensuing  year. 

The  President  in  his  address  spoke  of  the 
fine  cooperation  that  had  been  obtained  from 
the  Board  of  Birectors  and  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee, and  congratulated  the  organization  on 
the  fact  that  the  publishing  business  had 
passed  through  a  most  disturbing  year,  suffer- 
ing less  than  most  lines  of  commodities.  He 
emphasized  the  business  aspects  of  publishing 
and  the  fact  that  publishers  must  look  at  their 
investments  and  depreciations  on  the  same 
basis  as  other  manufacturers  do  if  they  are 
to  keep  in  aggressive  condition  for  new  enter- 
prises and  successful  selling.  He  believed  that 
all  lines  of  business  had  found  the  valbe  of 
quick  turnover  and  that  retailers  would  be 
more  likely  than  before  to  buy  often  and  sell 
quickly,  and  publishers  must  on  their  part 
watch  against  accumulating  non-fluid  invest- 
ment. 

The  Executive  Secretary  made  a  detailed  re- 
port of  the  work  of  the  year,  showing  the 
continuous  activity  that  goes  on  at  the  office 
and  the  pressing  problems  that  had  come  up 
in  1921.  problems  of  wage  scales,  of  forty- 
four  hour  week,  of  freight  rates,  traveling  ex- 
penses, photo-engraving  contracts,  tariff,  copy- 
right, all  of  which  made  the  weekly  meetings 
of  the  Executive  Committee  both  necessary 


and  continuously  valuable  to  the  whole  in- 
dustry. in  the  new  quarters  there  is  room  for 
a  large  conference  room  and  a  smaller  com- 
nmtcc  room,  as  well  as  two  offices,  one  of 


The  Committee  on  Tariff,  through  its  Chair- 
man,  John  .Macrae,  reported  on  it-,  activities 
since  the  1'ordney  Bill  was  announced  in  July 
and  with  regard  to  the  present  situation  in 
Washington.  He  believed  that  the  American 
book-trade  was  now  in  a  position  where  it  did 
not  need  protection,  except  in  so  far  as  the 
^A*1™??1.1  "eeded  Avenue  from  all  imports 

Mr.  Melcher,  reporting  for  the  Bureau  of 
Copyright  outlined  to  the  members  the  fea- 
tures of  the  new  Copyright  Bill,  and  gave  to 
members  a  draft  of  the  revision  as  it  was  be- 
ing presented  to  Congress.  He  pointed  out  the 
importance  of  our  entrance  into  the  Berne 
Convention  and  of  the  most  creditable  atti- 
tude of  the  printers  toward  this  change 

Mr.  Shoemaker  reported  for  the  Committee 
on  JNIew  Outlets  and  told  of  the  many  inquiries 
received  for  information  about  new  bookstores 
of  the  circulanzation  of  the  pamphlet  on 
Opening  A  Book  Bepartment"  Copies  of 
the  new  pamphlet  on  "The  Successful  Book- 
shop '  were  given  their  first  distribution.  This 
is  intended  to  give  newcomers  into  the  field 
of  small,  intimate  bookshops  some  practical 
information  on  how  to  begin  business.  Mr 
Pulsifer  of  D.  C.  Heath  Company  reported 
for  the  educational  group,  and  Mr.  Watson 
ol  W.  L.  Saunders  Company  for  the  medical 
group.  Mr.  Boubleday,  speaking  for  trade 
publishers,  made  one  of  his  characteristically 
pungent  speeches,  suggesting  that  one  of  the 
differences  between  a  publisher  and  the  aver- 
age manufacturer  'was  that  the  publisher 
would  sometimes  issue  books  out  of  purr 
friendship  and  against  his  best  judgment  as 
a  publisher,  while  nc  manufacturer  of  tools. 
for  instance,  would  put  out  a  screw  driver 
unless  he  felt  that  was  the  one  best  in^tru- 
ment  for  its  purpose. 

Mr.  McClurg,  speaking  on  Middle  Western 
conditions,  gave  a  talk  that  was  listened  to 
with  great  interest,  analyzing  the  reports  that 
had  been  coming  in  from  the  cotton  belt,  where 
things  were  more  encouraging  from  the  corn 
belt,  where  there  was  naturally  a  strong  re- 
flection of  the  farm  product  prices,  and  from 
the  Northwest,  where  the  first  reports  in  were 
highly  encouraging.  He  emphasized  the  im- 
portance of  the  general  promotion  of  books 
by  the  publisher,  in  order  that  the  jobber  and 
•  retailer  may  get  full  results  from  their  own 
selling  effort.  At  the  close  of  the  meeting, 
Mr.  Stokes  expressed  the  opinion,  which  was 
echoed  in  a  rising  vote,  that  the  thanks  of  the 
whole  organization  be  extended  to  President 
Hiltman  for  what  he  has  done  for  publishing 


l\2 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


and  for  the  Association  during  the  year  and 
that  this  expression  of  opinion  should  be  writ- 
ten into  the  minutes.  At  one  o'clock,  those 
who  had  attended  the  business  meeting  and 
others  from  the  publishing  organizations  gath- 
ered at  a  luncheon  in  the  Club,  one  hundred 
people  being  seated. 

After  the  luncheon,  President  Hiltman 
turned  the  gavel  over  to  Frederick  A.  Stokes, 
member  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the 
Association,  and  deservedly  favorite  toastmas- 
ter  in  publishing  circles.  Mr.  Stokes  referred 
to  the  gathering  as  "a  little  disarmament  con- 
ference among  the  book  publishers,''  and  con- 
gratulated the  group  on  the  large  and  enthu- 
siastic attendance. 

He  introduced  as  the  first  speaker  Joy  El- 
mer Morgan,  Editor  of  the  Journal  of  the  Na- 
tional Education  Association.  Mr.  Morgan 
made  a  brilliant  and  suggestive  speech,  under 
the  subject  of  "The  Education  Renaissance 
and  the  Book  Publisher."  He  evidenced  the 
fact  that  there  was  a  world-wide  determina- 
tion that  education  should  be  really  universal, 
and  that,  in  this  country  especially,  organiza- 
tion was  being  rapidly  rounded  out  so  that  we 
should  have  better  teachers,  and  therefore 
more  intelligent  and  better  graduates  from  our 
schools.  He  spoke  of  the  important  place  of 
general  reading  in  any  educational  effort  and 
of  the  place  that  book  publishers  had  in  the 
general  scheme  of  educational  increase.  Mr. 
iMorgan  was  followed  by  Carl  H.  Milam,  Sec- 
retary of  the  American  Library  Association; 
whose  suggestions  as  to  what  the  libraries 
were  doing  and  how  this  fitted  into  such  plans 
that  the  publishers  and  booksellers  were  doing 
were  very  pertinent  to  the  atmosphere  of  the 
were  very  pertinent  to  the  atmospnere  of  the 
meeting  and  highly  applauded. 

Representing  the  Authors'  League  of  Amer- 
ica, of  which  he  is  President,  Jesse  Lynch 


Williams  made  a  graceful  speech,  and  em- 
phasized the  constructive  work  that  the  au- 
thors were  doing.  Besides  their  initiative  in 
bringing  this  country  into  the  Berne  Confer- 
ence, he  spoke  of  their  efforts  toward  heading 
off  censorship.  Very  recently  the  League  called 
together  a  group  of  people  representing  va- 
rious theatrical  interests :  managers,  actors  and 
writers,  and  the  concrete  suggestion  coming 
from  that  discussion  was  that  a  plan  should 
be  made  for  the  providing  of  a  panel  of  one 
hundred  to  three  hundred  people  in  the  city 
or  vicinity,  women  from  civic  clubs  perhaps 
or  men  prominent  in  city  affairs,  representa- 
tives drawn  from  the  universities,  etc.,  and 
from  this  large  panel  of  intelligent  people  there 
should  be  drawn  a  jury  of  twelve  who  would 
be  called  upon  when  any  complaint  should  be 
registered  against  a  play  and  pass  opinion  as 
to  its  worthiness.  If  it  was  judged  by  such 
a  jury  to  be  a  bad  play,  it  would  be  taken 
from  the  stage  under  contract  agreed  to  by 
managers,  authors  and  actors  interested.  It 
was  thought  that  some  such  agreement  could 
be  reached. 

The  toastmaster  read  a  letter  of  greeting 
from  Eugene  L.  Herr,  President  of  the  Ameri- 
can Booksellers'  Association,  who  was  pre- 
vented from  being  a  guest. 

George  W.  Hopkins,  Vice-President  and 
General  Sales  Manager  of  the  Columbia 
Graphophone  Company,  gave  a  stimulating 
talk  on  "Merchandising  Nationally,"  making 
many  suggestions  based  on  his  experience  in 
several  lines  of  merchandise.  The  program 
closed  with  a  humorous  talk  by  Donald  Og- 
den  Stewart,  author  of  "A  Parody  Outline  of 
History."  At  the  head  table  with  the  speak- 
ers and  as  guests  of  honor  were  those  to 
whom  Mr.  Stokes  referred  as  "deans  in  the 
profession,"  W.  W.  Appleton.  George  Haven 
Putnam  and  R.  R.  Bowker. 


Biography  in   Fictional   Form 


THE  News  Letter  issued  by  the  Apprentices' 
Library  of  Philadelphia,  of  which  Bessie 
Graham  is  now  librarian,  records  that  the 
name  of  the  library  in  its  original  meaning  is 
now  obsolete.  The  students  of  library  science 
at  the  William  Penn  Evening  High  School  have 
been  serving  as  volunteer  workers  in  the  library 
in  order  to  get  practical  experience  in  library 
work,  so  that  the  library  again  seems  to  be 
truly  an  apprentices'  library.  This  News  Letter 
tells  about  the  library's  timely  topics  shelf, 
which  changes  weekly.  In  November,  these 
were  the  chosen  subjects: 

Books  on  Disarmament — Readings  for  the 
Arms  Conference.

land. 

Novels  Based  on  the  Biography  of  Actual

AX    ATTRACTIVE   VISTA   OF   BOOKS    AXD   ILLUSTRATIONS   ARRANGED  BY   BUU.OTK's 
BOOK   DEPARTMENT,   LOS   ANGELES 


Browsing  in  Bullock's  Book 
Corner 

PHAT  is  the  title  which  a  grateful  patron 
*  gives  to  two  columns  of  appreciation  in  the 
Los  Angeles  Saturday  Night  of  the  noon-hour 
pleasures  to  be  found  browsing  at  Bullock's. 

"To  find  a  literary  atmosphere  in  a  depart- 
ment store  book  section  is  an  unusual  circum- 
stance, writes  the  reporter,  yet  that  is  the 
achievement  of  the  delightful" corner  of  Bul- 
lock's, where  Miss  Foster's  book  depart- 
ment is. 

"Two  weeks  ago  the  sympathetic  manage- 
ment gave  Miss  Foster  liberal  space  on  the 
second  floor  of  the  seventh  street  frontage  of 
the  big  «tore,  which  already  imparts  a  private 
Hbrary  effect,  rather  than  that  reflected  by  the 
ordinary  commercial  display  of  books.  This  is 
due  to  the  presence  of  numerous  original  paint- 
ings of  the  colored  illustrations  in  the  Christ- 
mas books,  adult  and  juvenile,  tastefully  ar- 
ranged on  tables  and  easels. 

"Carved  benches,  placed  .in  sunny  niches  con- 
:iguous  to  groups  of  books,  judiciously  selected 
>y  Miss  Foster,  add  to  the  attractiveness  of  the 
ensemble  and  invite  the  browser  to  sit  down 
and  dip  into  the  contents.  Here  one  may  for- 


get the  roar  of  traffic  below,  the  call  oi  the 
office  to  return  to  business  duties  and  thi-  pr.  ra- 
ise to  one's  stenographer  to  be  'back  at  twa.' 
That  pledge  was  given  before  the  Bullock  lure 
was  realized. 

"Miss  Foster  knows  her  books,  and  has  so 
classified  and  grouped  the  collection  of  current 
novels,  histories,  essays  and  standard  works, 
that  her  latest  joined  assistant  may  without 
difficulty  lead  the  tentative  nurchaser  straight 
to  the  desired  goal.  Especially  well  arranged  is 
the  children's  section. 

"Gray  walls,  with  soft  gray  silk  hangings. 
form  a  soothing  background  and  give  the  right 
tone  to  the  surroundings.  Serenity  cf  mind  is 
an  excellent  aid  to  the  contemplation  of  books. 
and  not  often  in  a  department  store  can  this 
attribute  be  induced. 

"Miss  Foster  realizes  that  the  buying  public 
will  not  expect  in  a  department  stnrc  book  sec- 
tion everything  that  the  Los  Angeles  public  li- 
brary, for  example,  can  yield  on  percniiitorx 
'summons.  Her  aim  has  been  to  keep  well 
abreast  of  the  notable  works  of  fiction,  ever- 
selling  stories  and  juvenile  literature.  In  this 
way,  the  ready  wants  of  the  multitude  arc  sup- 
plied, while  the  more  discerning  readers,  and 
harder  to  suit,  are  seldom  disappointed."

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Good  Bookmaking 


NOT  all  the  beautiful  volumes  that  came 
rapidly  to  the  office  as  the  1921  season 
came  to  a  close  could  be  included  in  the 
last  summary  and  comment  on  America's  good 
book-making.  While  the  word  "gift  book"  is 
no  longer  used  as  a  designation  of  a  type  of 
volume  that  reaches  its  one  and  only  audience 
between  Thanksgiving  and  Christmas,  that 
season  is  the  best  opportunity  for  marketing 
handsome  volumes  in  which  the  investment 
for  illustrations  and  plates  has  been  heavy. 

The  Penn  Publishing  Company  has  had  two 
beautiful  volumes  with  the  advantage  of  Frank 
E.  Schoonover's  handsome  paintings.  Perhaps 
no  other  artist  working  in  the  historical  field 
comes  so  near  to  the  Wyeth  standard.  The 
colored  illustrations  in  Lucy  Madison's 
"Lafayette"  have  been  finely  reproduced,  and 
the  head-pieces  are  equally  attractive.  The 
book  has  a  type  page  very  suitable  to  the 
needs  of  this  subject.  The  Penn  Publishing 
Company  also  provides  Schoonover  illustrations 
for  "Toilers  of  the  Trails"  by  George  Marsh. 
These  are  in  black  and  white  with  the  ex- 
ception of  the  frontispiece. 

Detmold's  illustrations  of  animal  life  have 
always  been  held  in  high  esteem,  and  Dodd, 
Mead  &  Company  produced  a  beautiful  volume 
of  Fabre's  "Book  of  Insects"  with  a  score  or 
more  of  these  beautiful  drawings  in  full  color 
and  a  type  page  of  great  attractiveness. 

The  new  care  given  in  book  illustration  is 
responsible  for  the  colored  drawings  of 
"Famous  Colonial  Houses"  by  Paul  M.  Hollis- 
ter  (David  McKay  Company.)  These  draw- 
ings are  by  James  Preston  and  illustrate  a 
dozen  of  the  beautiful  places  of  our  early 
times.  His  ability  to  render  the  architectural 
details  and  yet  give  the  atmosphere  of  the 
fine  old  places  gives  this  book  a  high  standing 
among  the  illustrated  books  of  the  year. 

Besides  his  edition  of  "Scottish  Chiefs," 
Wyeth  produced  thru  the  David  McKay  Com- 
pany "Rip  Van  Winkle,"  some  of  the  drawings 
being  in  his  very  best  and  most  successful 
vein.  The  book  has  many  black  and  whites  as 
well  as  interesting  lining  papers. 

A  fine  example  of  the  best  rendering  of 
architectural  photographs  is  shown  in  the 
"Small  French  Buildings"  by  Coffin,  Polhem- 
us  and  Worthington,  published  by  Charles 
Scribner's  Sons.  These  photographs  have  been 
printed  in  a  brown  tint,  and  are  as  rich  and 
deep  as  a  rotogravure  in  their  reproduction. 

An  unusual  children's  book  comes  from 
Duffield  Company,  "Gargantua,"  with  illustra- 
tions by  Adrien  Leroy,  reproduced  from  the 
French  edition  of  a  few  years  back.  The  full 
page  plates  are  something  in  the  vein  of  Job's 
famous  drawings,  and  the  black  and  whites 
thickly  scattered  thru  the  text  are  bound  to 
give  the  book  added  zest  for  the  reader. 

Lovers  of  the  writings  of  W.  H.  Hudson 
will  be  pleased  to  find  a  new  American  edition 
of  "The  Shepherd's  Life"  with  the  delightful 
illustrations  of  Bernard  C.  Gotch,  which  has 


been  set  up  and  printed  in  fhis  country  by  E. 
P.  Dutton  &  Company.  The  black  and  white 
drawings  and  chapter  headings  are  perfectly 
in  keeping  with  the  mood  of  the  book. 

Harcourt,  Brace  &  Company  have  designed 
a  very  attractive  121110  lor  their  "Modern  Rus- 
sian Poetry"  by  Deutsch  and  Yarmolinsky. 
The  type  selected  and  page  headings  are  well 
balanced,  and  the  presswork  clear  and  clean. 

An  interesting  volume  of  plays  is  Mac- 
millan's  edition  of  "Four  Plays  for  Dancers" 
by  W.  B.  Yeats.  The  illustrations  and  cover 
design  are  very  effective. 

Two  attractive  volumes  of  poems  are 
"Dreams  Out  of  Darkness''  by  Jean  Starr 
Untermeyer  (Huebsch)  and  "The  Captive  Lion 
and  Other  Poems"  by  William  Henry  Davies 
(Yale  University  Press.)  Another  fine  volume 
from  the  Yale  Press  is  "Art  and  Religion"  by 
Von  Ogden  Vogt.  This  shows  the  impress  of 
Mr.  Rollins's  masterly  hand  in  the  selection 
of  types  and  in  the  planning  of  the  introduc- 
tory pages.  The  type  being  used  for  the  page 
numbering  is  unusual  and  effective,  being 
placed  at  the  bottom  of  the  page. 

From  Fresno,  Cal.,  comes  a  well  designed 
book  entitled  "A  California  Pilgrimage,"  pub- 
lished by  private  subscription  for  Louis  C. 
Sanford,  and  printed  by  Bruce  Brough  at  San 
Francisco.  The  pages  show  a  fine  use  of 
Caslon  with  delicately  colored  initials  and  in- 
teresting chapter  headings  The  book  would 
be  a  creditable  piece  of  work  for  any  book 
manufacturer. 

To  Alfred  Fowler  of  Kansas  City  collectors 
and  students  of  the  book-plate  are  indebted  for 
a  book  entitled  "Book-plates  for  Beginners" 
with  twentv  or  thirtv  reproductions.  As  with 
all  the  books  from  Mr.  Fowler,  the  typography 
is  worthy  of  the  subject  being  handled. 

Following  the  beautiful  edition  of  Dante's 
"Inferno,"  printed  by  the  Updike  Press  last 
spring  for  the  translator  Eleanor  Vinton 
Murray,  comes  another  handsome  volume  con- 
taining all  three  books  of  "The  Divine 
Comedy,"  translated  by  Melville  Best  Ander- 
son, and  printed  by  the  World  Book  Company 
of  Yonkers.  The  volume  is  handsomely  de- 
signed and  beautifully  bound  in  Italian  board 
with  vellum  back. 

Houghton  MirHin  has  made  a  beautiful  book 
out  of  "Fir  Flower  Tablets,"  one  of  the  most 
pleasant  and  well  planned  books  the  recent 
weeks  have  brought  forward.  The  problem  of 
setting  a  well  balanced  page  from  material  in 
such  broken  form  was  not  an  easy  one,  and  has 
been  carried  out  with  perfect  success.  The 
binding  in  red  boards  with  blue  back  is  strik- 
ing and  yet  in  excellent  taste. 

A  good  example  of  sound  book-making  for 
a  I2mo  novel  is  shown  in  "The  Romantic 
Lady"  by  Michael  Arland,  published  by  Dodd, 
Mead  &  Company. 

An  attractive  little  book  from  Knopf  is  "Lit- 
tle Rays  of  Moonshine"  by  A.  P.  Herbert,  well 
planned  to  meet  the  style  of  the  contents.

Reminiscences  of  a  Book  Scout 

By  Joseph  Jewett  Barton 


WHEN  I  lived  in  Brooklyn,  Roger  Mif- 
flin  and  I  used  to  take  weekly  turns  doing 
the  Ghetto  over  in  Newark,  and  I  believe 
it  was  he  who  unconsciously  saved  me  a  lot  of 
work  one  day ;  perhaps  he  did  not,  but  somebody 
with  a  good  eye  for  values,  did. 

There  used  to  be  a  man  down  on  a  side  street 
who  "buys  and  sells  anything  and  everything," 
and  his  place  looked  as  tho  he  lived  up  to  his 
sign.  He  isn't  there  now  so  you  needn't  start 
for  Newark  toniglht ;  at  present  he  keeps  a  gro- 
cery store  in  Waterbury,  Conn. 

He  was  a  peculiar  cuss,  always  sat  in  an  old 
chair  directly  in  the  door-way  and  if  he  didn't 
like  your  looks  or  knew  you  too  well,  he 
wouldn't  move  and  let  you  in,  but  just  growl 
that  he  didn't  have  anything  today  that  would 
interest  you. 

I  made  a  hit  with  him  finally,  by  purchasing 
a  picture  he  had  on  the  sidewalk  out  in  front, 
at  his  own  price.  A  fine,  cobwebby,  dusty  bit 
of  architecture  it  was  too,  the  glass  looked  as 
tho  it  should  be  ploughed  'but  it  was  good 
enough  for  me  and  besides  I  wanted  to  get  in- 
side. This  was  about  the  sixth  trip  there  and 
I  hadn't  been  thru  the  door  yet. 

Then  I  asked,  "Haven't  you  any  more  pic- 
tures," and  he  said  I  could  look  around  if  I 
wanted  to.  I  looked,  and  over  in  a  corner  be- 
hind a  lot  of  iron  beds  I  saw  three  soap  boxes 
nailed  up,  that  suggested  books  to  me.  "What's 
in  the  boxes,"  I  asked  Growly,  and  he  said 
"books,"  and  then  I  got  the  boxes  opened  and 
found  that  all  the  good  ones  were  in  one  box. 
In  the  other  two  boxes  there  wasn't  a  book 
worth  over  twenty-five  cents  at  retail ;  all  fine, 
crisp,  clean  copies  they  were,  but  of  absolutely 
no  use  to  me. 

But  the  one  box  was  like  a  long,  cool  drink 
after  a  hike  thru  a  desert. 

This  business  of  pawing  over  a  lot  of  Sun- 
day school,  theological,  middle-aged  law,  med- 
ical books  and  cheap  fiction  when  you  are  look- 
ing for  real  stuff,  gets  a  little  tiresome  after 
a  While. 

I  found  Mark  Twain's  "Jumping  Frog," 
New  York,  1867,  first  edition,  first  issue,  with 
the  perfect  "i"  on  page  108 ;  "Leaves  of  Grass," 
Boston,  1860-61,  with  the  tinted  portrait  of  the 
author  and  the  orange  colored  cloth  cover,  first 
issue  of  this  edition :  Valentine's  "Manuals  oi 
the  Common  Council,  1845  to  1850  inclusive," 
and  I  assure  you  the  manuals  of  those  dates, 
except  1850,  are  pretty  desirable  books. 

Then  there  were  several  firsts  of  Harte  and 
two  of  Hearn;  "Ghombo  Zebes,"  1885,  and 
"Chita,"  1889;  the  rest  of  the  box,  some  forty 
books,  were  all  quite  ordinary,  but  good  sellers.. 

Strange  that  all  the  good  ones  are  in  one 
box,  I  thought,  wonder  what  happened,  but  I 
kept  back  that  query  for  another  day.  just  got 
an  expressman  and  shipped  my  box  to  Brook- 
lyn. The  whole  transaction,  including  express 


charges  cost  me  less  than  six  dollars  and   I 
realized  eventually  quite  a  fair  day's  wages. 

On  my  next  trip  to  Newark  I  asked  Growly 
Haven  t  you  any  good  books  anywhere,  that 
box  was  pretty  fair,  but  what  I  want  is  real 
books,  and  I  will  give  you  a  good  price  for 
them;  now  stir  around  and  see  if  you  haven't 
some  more  hidden  away." 

My  conversation  seemed  to  interest  him,  and 
he  commenced  poking  around  in  the  corners  and 
behind  old  bureaus  and  various  junk,  mum- 
bling to  himself  all  the  time,  and  I  was  help- 
ing him  poke. 

At  last  he  broke  into  intelligible  speech  to 
the  effect  that  "A  smart  Aleck  book  buyer  came 
into  my  shop  last  winter  and  picked  out  a  lot 
of  books  and  put  them  into  a  box,  and  then  he 
tried  to  jew  me  down  on  the  price  and  I  got 
mad  and  I  wouldn't  sell  them  to  him  at  any 
price." 

I  bet  Growly  talked  to  me  an  hour  telling 
me  about  that  "smart  Aleck  feller"  and  I  wasn't 
interested  a  little  bit,  but  I  had  to  stand  and 
listen  to  it  or  he'd  probably  get  "mad"  at  me 
and  I'd  follow  Aleck. 

What  I  wanted  was  the  box  that  Aleck  had 
packed  but  we  never  found  it,  thtf  I  suggested 
that  he  had  sold  it  to  somebody  else.  No!  it 
wasn't  sold,  it  \vas  around  somewhere,  because 
he  hadn't  let  any  feller  wanting  books  in  there 
since  he  fired  Aleck. 

I  put  in  a  full  day  looking  over  that  shop 
and  there  wasn't  another  book  in  it.  It  finally 
dawned  on  me  that  Growly  had  his  number  of 
boxes  twisted,  and  there  never  had  been  but 
•three  boxes,  and  I  already  had  bought  Aleck's 
box. 

On  subsequent  trips  I  always  asked  if  he  had 
found  that  box  yet,  but  he  never  had,  and  could 
not  seem  to  'understand  where  it  had  gone. 

As  a  decent  Christian  gentleman  I  suppose  I 
should  have  given  Mifflin  half  of  that  box; 
instead  I  never  even  mentioned  it  to  him.  but 
then  again,  he  had  his  chance  and  failed,  and 
I  certainly  earned  what  I  got 


Growly  felt  so  badly  about  not  finding  the 
box  that  a  couple  of  months  later,  in  order  to 
square  himself  and  also  in  consideration  of  two 
dollars  cash  in  hand  for  the  information,  told 
me  that  a  countryman  of  his  had  bought  two 
truck  loads  of  books  the  day  before  and  "He 
lives  in  a  flat  over  on  Broome  Street,  and  you 
should  drop  in  on  him,  but  don't  tell  him  I 
sent  you." 

I  dropped  in,  and  in  his  dining  and  sitting 
rooms  he  had  about  three  tons  of  books ;  where 
they  came  from  I  don't  know,  it  doesn't  pay 
to  be  inquisitive  when  you  are  trying  to  buy 
from  people  of  that  kind,  but  they  certainly 
were  not  from  a  nrivate  library,  and  were  the 
queerest  mixture  T  ever  saw. 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Our  Army  of  Students 

NEVER  has  American  youth  been  pound- 
ing so  persistently  on  the  doors  of  the 
colleges,  and  the  reports  of  registration 
that  have  come  in  indicate  an  increased  enroll- 
ment of  about  7.1%.  The  Boston  Transcript, 
in  commenting  on  this  increased  demand  for 
educational  facilities,  gives  some  interesting 
statistics  as  to  the  size  of  this  army  of  stu- 
dents. 

In  a  selected  list  of  seventy-four  colleges,  it 
finds  a  total  of  197,000  students,  an  average 
of  nearly  3,000  per  college,  ranging  from  the 
University  of  California  and  New  York  Uni- 
versity, with  over  10,000  each,  to  Gark  Uni- 
versity with  200.  Of  these  totals,  57,000  are 
women.  Besides  this,  these  same  colleges  are 
largely  interested  in  extending  their  facilities 
thru  summer  schools  and  extension  courses.  In 
this  one  list  of  colleges  there  are  73,500  among 
the  summer  students  and  92,200  among  the  ex- 
tension students.  In  this  latter  column  the 
University  of  California  has  a  total  of  over 
20,000  and  the  University  of  Wisconsin  over 
18,000. 

The  importance  of  higher  education  in  mak- 
ing lovers  and  users  of  books  is  an  obvious 
inference  to  a  book-trade  paper,  but  it  is  in- 
teresting in  noting  such  figures  to  realize  that 
institutions  of  higher  education  are  becoming 
more  and  more  conscious  that,  in  order  that 
the  effect  of  their  work  may  extend  into  the 
aduft  life  of  the  graduate,  courses  and  lectures 
must  'be  so  shaped  that  the  student  shall  see 
that  education  is  a  thing  to  go  on  for  life  and 
not  an  operation  to  be  passed  thru  and  called 
finished.  On  all  Slides  one  sees  efforts  of  the  in- 
structors to  connect  up  courses  with  practical 
life.  There  are  libraries  on  every  campus  and 
a  greater  variety  of  use  of  these  libraries  than 
ever  before.  In  many  cases  there  are  sectional 
libraries  so  that  the  student  of  agriculture  or 
architecture  or  domestic  economy  visualizes 
books  as  a  part  of  his  or  her  future  career. 

'Side  by  side  with  the  effort  to  increase  this 
extension  of  instruction  thru  books  and  per- 
sonal reading,  should  go  the  appeal  of  book 
ownership,  which,  as  every  book  lover  knows, 
gives  a  certain  added  interest  to  reading  that 
can  not  be  had  from  anv  borrowed  book.  Prob- 
ably out  of  the  seventy- four  colleges  whose 
totals  have  been  quoted  not  more  than  a  score 
are  in  cities  or  towns  where  there  are  book- 
stores of  real  cultural  possibilities.  The  move- 
ment for  better  college  town  bookshops  has 
been  well  begun,  and  in  many  colleges  one 
will  now  find  a  bookshop  not  only  handling 
the  textbooks,  which  is  the  conventional  work 
of  a  college  town  bookstore,  but  providing  the 
browsing  ground  for  increased  personal  read- 
ing. 

With  the  experience  in  hand  "lined  in  these 
shops  there  should  be  determined  effort  on  the 
part  of  those  who  believe  in  the  Book  and  who 
know  the  value  of  a  personal  library,  to  in- 
crease the  number  of  good  bookshops  in  college 
communities.  This  is  so  important  a  point  that 


faculties  would  do  well  to  consider  it  as  the 
thing  for  them  to  help  brip<r  about  and  not  a 
thing  to  be  left  to  chance. 

In  one  college  community  where  a  bookstore 
was  started,  a  few  instructors  felt  that  it 
would  be  an  instrument  for  diverting  students 
from  their  textbooks  and  therefore  .to  be 
promptly  discouraged.  This  same  bookstore, 
however,  proved  its  worth  and  is  now  appreci- 
ated by  the  entire  institution.  A  conception  of 
a  college  as  a  place  where  certain  textbooks 
must  be  finished  to  the  exclusion  of  all  other 
humanizing  and  cultural  influences  will  not 
stand  analysis,  and  the  colleges  not  having  such 
book  centers  at  hand  should  give  impulse  to 
this  important  movement  and  it  should  be 
watched  and  encouraged  as  one  of  the  signifi- 
cant movements  that  will  be  a  marked  feature 
in  the  growth  of  the  book-trade  in  the  next 
few  years.

Passing  the  Word  Along 

ANEW  effort  in  the  way  of  increasing  book 
sales  thru  the  influence  of  satisfied  readers 
is  shown  in  a  card  found  in  copies  of  William 
George  Jordan's  new  book.    This  enclosure  in 
the  form  of  a  post-card  reads: 

"I    have  just   finished  reading   'The  Trusteeship   of 
Life.'    by    William    George    Jordan,    who    wrote 
Kingship  of  Self -Control"     It  is  a  big  little  book,  big 
in    its    fine,    sane    attitude    toward    life,    fresh    in    i] 
charm    and    inspiration    and    in    its   individuality. 
is   a    book   to   own   and   to   read.     It    helped    me.   and 
I  want  it  to  help  you."  . 

Above  this  paragraph  is  a  place  for  a  fi 
name  and  below  a  line  for  the  sender's  signa- 
ture.   In  small  type  is  the  information.  "Order 
from  your  bookseller  or  from  the  publishers 
Price  only  $1.25."     This  plan  certainly  make 
it  easy  for  a  pleased  reader  to  recommend  the 
book    to    a    friend    with    the    least    trouble.

The  Tariff  Threat  and  the  Retailers 

The  Fordney  Bill  Would  Seriously  Cripple  Long-Standing  Activities 


THE  following  brief  on  the  Schedules  re- 
lating to  Books  was  prepared  by  Charles 
E.  Lauriat  Company,  Booksellers,  Boston, 
and  is  part  of  the  evidence  being  considered  by 
the  Finance  Committee  of  the  Senate. 

January  9,  1922. 
To  THE  COMMITTEE  ON  FINANCE: 

As  a  dealer  in  'both  American  and  English 
published  books,  having  an  established  business 
of  fifty  years'  standing,  this  Company  respect- 
fully begs  to  submit  for  your  consideration  a 
few  thoughts  and  a  few  facts  relating  to  a 
tariff  on  books. 

This  Company  deals  both  in  new  books,  which 
are  mostly  published  in  the  United  States,  and 
in  old  books,  fine  editions,  and  rare  books, 
which  have  been  published  more  than  twenty 
years,  either  in  the  United  States  or  in  Eng- 
land. If  we  sell  more  fine  editions  of  English 
publications  than  of  American,  it  is  because 
more  fine  editions  haive  been  published  in  Eng- 
land than  in  America.  And  more  have  been 
published  there  because  there  has  been,  and 
still  is,  a  greater  demand  for  fine  editions  in 
England  than  in  this  country.  No  tariff  law 
can  alter  that  fact,  and  the  imposition  of  a 
tariff  on  books  published  more  than  twenty 
years  would  not  cause  the  publication  here  of 
any  books  which  would  not  be  published  here 
without  such  a  tariff.  Nor  will  introducing  the 
uncertainties  of  American  Valuation  of  books 
increase  the  amount  of  printing  and  binding  for 
the  American  laboring  man. 

In  closing  this  introductory  statement  we 
wish  to  call  attention  to  the  fact  that  books 
do  not  compete  with  each  other.  The  Copy- 
right Law  prevents  competition  between  dif- 
ferent editions  of  the  same  book — there  can  be 
no  rival  different  editions — and  books  by  dif- 
ferent authors,  even  >if  on  the  same  subject,  are 
not  competitive,  but  are  rather  to  be  considered 
supplemental  to  each  other.  The  sale  of  one 
is  likely  to  increase  the  sale  of  the  other,  and 
the  sale  of  both  together  is  likely  to  be  more 
than  twice  what  the  sale  of  either  one  alone 
would  have  been  if  the  other  had  not  been  pub- 
lished. In  other  words,  the  importation  of  Eng- 
lish books  will  increase,  rather  than  diminish, 
the  sale  of  American  books. 

With  this  general  statement,  we  pass  to  the 
details  of  the  matter  to  which  we  desire  re- 
spectfully to  call  attention. 

Paragraph   1310 

We  respectfully  protest  against  the  clause  in 
Paragraph  1310  in  the  proposed  tariff,  reading; 
"books  bound  wholly  or  in  part  in  leather, 
the  chief  value  of  which  is  in  the  binding,  not 
specially  provided  for,  33  1-3  per  centum  ad 
valorem ;"  not  only  because  the  clause  is  am- 
biguous and  difficult  of  interpretation,  but  also 
because  33  1-3  per  centum  ad  valorem  is  a 
higher  rate  of  duty  than  is  necessary  for  the 
full  protection  of  the  American  binder. 


A  similar  clause  in  the  Payne-Aldrich  Tariff 
(August  5,  1909,  book  schedule,  No.  415)  read 
as  follows: 

"...  all  the  foregoing  wholly  or  in  chief 
value  of  paper,"  made  the  assessment  for  duty 
so  difficult  of  determination  that  an  appeal  was 
made  for  a  Treasury  Decision  and  T.  D.  30,326 
was  rendered  February  4,  1910,  in  which  the 
Department  practically  instructed  appraiseri  to 
ignore  this  clause  entirely,  as  it  was  not  the 
intention  of  Congress  to  raise  the  duty  on 
books. 

In  the  present  Underwood  Tariff,  in  Para- 
graph 337,  the  same  words  were  originally 
written  in;  "all  the  foregoing  wholly  or  in 
chief  value  of  paper,"  but  before  the  enact- 
ment of  the  bill,  the  words  were  stricken  out, 
as  you  will  see  by  reading  Paragraph  329. 

In  regard  to  the  rate  of  "33  1-3  per  centum 
ad  valorem,"  on  books,  "bound  wholly  or  in 
part  in  leather,"  we  would  say  that  we  pre- 
sent the  following  evidence  to  show  why  this 
rate  of  duty  is  unnecessarily  high. 

The  Scroll  Club  Bindery,  232  East  i25th 
Street,  New  York,  have  issued  a  "Trade 
Price  List,"  dated  October  1921,  on  which 
their  price  for  binding  a  book  10  x  7  in 
"half  Erench  levant,  gilt  top,  two  line  panel 
with  a  little  tooling,  gold  line  on  sides,"  is 
$540. 

Robert  Riviere  &  Son,  29  Heddon  Street, 
Regent  Street,  London  on  their  "Trade  Price 
List,"  dated  September  12,  1921,  quote  the 
price  of  binding  a  book  10  x  (tl/t  in  "half 
levant,  two  or  three  line  panel  and  center, 
gold  lines  on  sides,  24/-."  At  21  cents  to 
the  shilling,  which  is  the  present  rate  of  ex- 
change, and  which  will  probably  show  a 
gradual  advance,  rather  than  decline,  makes 
the  binding  cost  $5.04. 

On  the  Scroll  Club  Bindery  price  list,  a 
book  bound  in  "full  French  levant,  gilt  top, 
two  line  panel  with  a  little  tooling  on  the 
back  and  sides,  gold  border  inside,  gold  roll 
on  edges,"  size  10  x  7,  costs  $I5-5O- 

On  Riviere  &  Son's  price  list,  a  book  bound 
in  "full  levant,  two  or  three  panel  and  center, 
gold  line  on  sides,  inside  and  edges."  size  10 
x  6l/2,  costs  66/— ,  or  at  21  cents  to  the 
shilling,  $13.86. 

On  the  Scroll  Club  Bindery  price  list,  the 
cost  of  "Solander  Cases"  (such  cases  are 
made  to  hold  books  which  the  collector  wishes 
to  retain  in  the  original  binding),  'Trench 
levant,  Jansen  finish,"  (meaning  no  gold  tool- 
ing on  the  back),  is  $16.00. 

On  Riviere  &  Son's  price  list,  the  cost  < 
"Pull-off   Cases"    (known    in    this    country 
as     Solander    Cases),    "full    levant     plain 
(called  in  this  country  Jansen  finish),  c 
75/3   or  at  21  cents  to  the  shilling,  $15  75- 
The  above  figures  show  that  a  15  Pfrcent  ad 
valorem  duty,  as  is  the  present  tariff,  it 
the   American   binder   ample   protection    from 


120 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


composition  with  British  binders.  A  higher 
tariff  would  unduly  and  unfairly  increase  the 
price  of  such  books,  without  any  compensating 
benefits. 

We  do  not  quote  prices  from  French  binders, 
as  they  have  not  yet  reestablished  their  binding 
business  to  anything  like  pre-war  quality  and 
standing.  German  leather  binders  were  never 
competitors  of  American  binders. 

As  proof  that  the  wages  in  English  binderies, 
of  men  and  women,  have  advanced  over  200 
percent  above  pre-war  level,  we  quote  the  fol- 
lowing wages  paid  in  the  bindery  of  W.  Root 
&  Son,  29  Eagle  Street,  Holborn,  London, 
which  is  a  typical  British  workshop  and  in 
which  the  same  wages  are  paid  as  in  all  shops 
doing  binding  in  leather : 
Minimum  for  Men, 

pre-war 35/ —  per  week 

Minimum  for  Women, 
pre-war I3/ —  per  week 


48/- 
Minimum  for  Men, 

as  of  August  10,  1921 .  TOO/ —  per  week 
Minimum  for  Women, 

as  of  August  10,  1921.   5 1/ —  per  week 


These  wages  are  for  a  48-hour  week,  and  are 
minimum  wages  paid.  All  workmen  and  work- 
women after  one  year  receive  an  increased 
wage.  It  is  therefore  clear  that  the  American 
binders  have  little  to  fear  from  the  competition 
of  low  wages  abroad,  as  wages  there  are  now 
about  the  same  as  wages  here  in  the  book  bind- 
ing trade. 

We  would  therefore  suggest  that  Paragraph 
329  of  the  present  tariff  be  retained,  "books 
of  all  kinds,  bound  or  unbound,  including  blank 
books,  slate  books,  and  pamphlets,  engravings, 
photographs,  etchings,  maps,  charts,  music  in 
books  or  sheets,  and  printed  matter,  all  the 
foregoing  and  not  specially  provided  for  in 
this  section,  15  per  centum  ad  valorem,"  etc. 

"American  Valuation"  as  Affecting  Books 

We  wish  to  protest  against  Section  402 
commonly  referred  to  as  the  American  Valua- 
tion clause,  as  impractical,  even  impossible,  as 
applied  to  'books.  Not  only  do  books  not  com- 
pete with  one  another,  as  above  pointed  out,  but 
the  costs  that  enter  into  the  manufacture  of 
two  books,  even  on  the  same  subject,  are  never 
the  same.  They  vary,  commencing  with  the 
royalty  paid  to  the  author,  thru  the  various 
parts  of  the  manufacture  of  the  book,  such  as 
paper,  printing,  illustrations,  binding,  etc.,  etc., 
so  that  it  would  be  impossible  to  compare  the 
imported  book  with  any  other,  and  so  there 
could  be  found  no  "comparable  and  competi- 
tive product  of  the  United  States." 

For  example,  the  book  by  Captain  Dickinson, 
entitled,  "Big  Game  Shooting  on  the  Equator ; 
A  Sportsman's  Experiences  in  East  Africa," 
bears  no  relation  to  Roosevelt's  "African  Game 
Trails,"  except  so  far  as  they  each  deal  with 
big  game  hunting  in  Africa. 

The  former  book  was  published  in  England 


some  years  ago,  but  after  a  fair  sale  in  Eng- 
land, it  was  there  offered  at  a  much  reduced 
price  from  that  at  which  it  was  published.  It 
was  published  at  i6/ —  and  offered  by  the  pub- 
lishers, to  close  out  the  copies  that  were  not 
sold,  at  5/6.  At  this  price  it  was  an  attractive 
purchase  to  many  American  firms  and  they 
bought  it  and  paid  duty  on  that  price,  inasmuch 
as  the  book  had  some  interest  to  collectors  in- 
terested in  big  game  hunting. 

The  importing  of  Captain  Dickinson's  book 
in  no  way  interferes  with  the  sale  of  Colonel 
Roosevelt's  book.  The  latter  wholesales  for 
$3.84,  and  if  duty  were  charged  at  this  rate 
on  Dickinson's  book,  it  would  compel  a  sales 
price  that  would  be  too  high  to  appeal  to  the 
American  buyer.  No  bookseller  could  force  the 
Dickinson  book  on  a  customer  asking  for  the 
Roosevelt  book,  but  sales  of  the  Dickinson 
book  would  probably  increase  sales  of  the 
Roosevelt  book.  In  this  way  the  American  in- 
dustry would  be  benefitted  by  the  importation 
of  such  books,  and  the  application  of  the  pro- 
posed American  Valuation  would  defeat  its  own 
purpose,  so  far  as  books  are  concerned. 

If  for  the  benefit  of  the  manufacturing  of 
certain  other  merchandise,  the  American  Valu- 
ation clause  must  stand,  there  should  be  written 
into  it  a  clause  that  would  "exempt  books." 

The  above  example  of  Captain  Dickinson's 
book  is  an  instance  of  the  offering  by  publishers 
of  so-called  "remainders,"  by  which  we  mean 
the  unsold  stock  of  books  left  on  hand  after 
the  home  market  has  Seen  fully  satisfied.  Both 
English  and  American  publishers  follow  this 
plan  and  dispose  of  such  remainders  at  a  price 
that  will  effect  a  complete  clean-up. 

These  English  remainders  are  sold  at  a  frac- 
tion of  the  publication  price  to  booksellers  and 
by  them  to  the  public,  in  most  cases  at  less 
than  one  half  the  price  which  the  book  would 
have  originally  cost  the  buyer  to  import.  If 
any  other  than  a  small  ad  valorem  duty  based 
upon  the  cost  to  us  should  be  assessed,  this 
large  and  important  part  of  their  business 
would  'be  ruined ;  and  the  business  of  American 
publishers  would  not  be  thereby  increased,  for 
none  of  these  books  are  published  in  America, 
and  the  sale  of  books  published  here  would  not 
be  increased,  but  probably  decreased. 

We  respectfully  submit  that  from  no  point 
of  view  is  American  Valuation  of  books  de- 
sirable. It  would  be  not  only  difficult  and  un- 
fair in  administration,  but  in  certain  cases  it 
would  be  disastrous  to  long  established  and 
legitimate  businesses.  It  is  impossible  to  show 
that  it  would  benefit  anybody,  but  it  is  clear 
that  it  would  deprive  many  readers  of  an  op- 
portunity to  obtain  excellent  books  at  a  low 
price. 

Copyright  Protection 

In  drafting  Tariff  provisions  relating  to 
books,  a  matter  which  should  always  be  taken 
into  consideration  is  the  Copyright  Law.  No 
foreign  made  'book  which  has  been  copyrighted 
in  the  United  States  can  be  imported  into  this 
country  except  under  the  provision  which  per- 
mits of  the  bringing  in  of  "one  copy  at  one 
time,  for  individual  use  and  not  for  sale,"  ex- 


January  21,  1922 


cept  to  public  libraries  and  this  applies  to 
"remainders"  as  well  as  to  all  new  books. 
(See  Copyright  Law,  as  amended  by  the  Act 
of  August  24,  1912,  Page  30,  Section  31,  Para- 
graph D,  ",First"). 

Every  prominent  new  book  published  in  Eng- 
land is  offered  to  an  American  buyer  to  see 
if  he  will  take  it  for  the  American  market  and 
either  copyright  it  under  the  Law,  or  import 
a  few  hundred  copies  for  the  American  mar- 
ket. A  copy  of  the  book  is  sent  to  the  pros- 
pective American  buyer  and  if  he  decides  it 
would  have  a  sufficient  sale  in  America  to 
warrant  the  issuing  of  an  addition  of  2000  or 
3000  copies,  he  buys  and  copyrights  it,  and 
then  sets  up,  prints  and  binds  the  book  in  this 
country,  thereby  giving  full  employment  to 
the  American  paper  manufacturer,  type-setter, 
printer  and  binder. 

Having  complied  with  the  copyright  law,  it 
excludes  the  possibility  of  any  foreign  edition 
of  this  book  ever  being  imported  into  this  coun- 
try for  sale  no  matter  how  low  the  price  abroad 
may  be. 

This  Copyright  Law,  operating  in  conjunction 
with  the  tariff  rate,  affords  real  protection  to 
the  American  book  industry.  The  tariff  situa- 
tion might  be  quite  different  if  there  were  no 
Copyright  Law.  But  having  that  Law.  the 
tariff  rate,  in  theory  and  in  practice,  should  be 
fixed  at  the  lowest  point  consistent  with  insur- 
ing that  the  great  bulk  of  the  books  purchased 
here  shall  be  published  here.  If  the  tariff  is 
lower  than  this  point,  then  importations  from 
abroad  will  be  excessive  and  the  industry  will 
not  be  receiving  its  fair  protection.  If  higher, 
then  books  which  have  only  a  small  sale  here, 
but  which  may  be  very  valuable  from  an  edu- 
cational, literary  or  scientific  point  of  view,  and 
so  be  very  desirable,  will  cost  an  undue  amount. 
In  that  case,  the  tariff  would  operate  unfavor- 
ably to  'the  Nation,  and  even  the  publishing 
business  would  not  benefit. 

It  is  for  the  Congress  to  judge  as  to  just 
where  the  theoretically  correct  paint  should  be 
fixed.  For  many  years  it  has  stood  at  15% 
on  all  'books  published  within  twenty  years. 

Is  there  any  evidence  whatever  that  too  many 
books  are  being  imported?  Is  it  not  true  that 
practically  every  book  which  has  any  con- 
siderable sale  in  this  country  is  also  printed  and 
bound  in  this  country? 

We  respectfully  submit  that  a  duty  of  i$% 
on  books  published  abroad  within  twenty  years 
has  been  shown  by  long  experience  to  be  high 
enough  to  afford  all  reasonable  and  proper  pro- 
tection to  the  publishers  and  workers  of  this 
country.  And  we  submit  that  any  increase  of 
duty  will  not  increase  the  business  of  publish- 
ing, but  will  amount  to  a  tax  on  learning,  to  the 
detriment  of  the  country. 

Elimination  of  Free  List 
We  now  pass  to  another  matter  which  is  of 

vital    importance    to    the    book-trade.      Book: 

published  within  twenty  years  are  not  referred 

to  in  this  part  of  this  brief. 
Under   the    Bill    as    passed    by    the    House, 

books  published  more  than  twenty  years  are 


121 


not  included  in  the  Free  List,  altho  such  books 
have  been  free  of  duty  during  practically  the 
whole  period  that  our  business  has  been  es- 
tablished. The  admission  of  such  books  Duty 
Free  has  done  much  to  stimulate  the  reading 
of  books  in  this  country  and  the  assembling  of 
valuable  collections  of  books  which  have  !*en 
of  great  educational  value  to  the  American  stu- 
dent and  public. 

The  American  workman  and  publisher  have 
lost  nothing  by  the  importing  Duty  Free  of 
books  printed  over  twenty  years,  for  not  one 
such  book  in  a  thousand  would  be  repuWished 
in  this  country,  no  matter  how  high  the  tariff 
were.  The  protection  that  would  be  afforded  by 
the  proposed  change  would  be  none  whatever, 
while  the  injury  to  those  who  deal  in  old  books 
and  to  those  who  buy  them  would  be  very 
great. 

In  the  case  of  Old  and  Rare  books,  first  edi- 
tions and  books  whose  principal  value  is  their 
historical  or  literary  association,  the  imposition 
of  a  duty  is  nothing  less  than  absurd. 

For  example,  the  Folio  Shakespeare,  pub- 
lished in  1632,  is  of  great  value  and  intcVest  to 
a  book  collector  and  its  importation  into  this 
country  at  a  value  of,  say,  £500  in  no  way  af- 
fects the  American  workman  of  today;  and 
the  duty  on  this  book  would  in  no  way  benefit 
the  workman's  position,  and  would  do  much  to 
discourage  the  forming  of  private  educational 
libraries  in  this  country. 

Is  there  any  excuse  whatever  for  the  im- 
position of  a  duty  on  books  more  than  twenty 
years  old? 

The  only  claim  of  a  reason  for  the  proposed 
change  that  has  ever  been  suggested  to  the 
writer  is  that  the  repairing  or  rebinding  abroad 
within  twenty  years  of  books  more  than  twenty 
years  old,  and  the  importation  of  such  re- 
paired or  rebound  books  Duty  Free  works  a 
detriment  to  the  American  binder. 

It  is  worth  while  for  your  Committee,  and 
for  the  Congress,  to  examine  this  claim  care- 
fully, and  to  determine,  before  imposing  such 
a  duty,  whether  the  benefits  to  be  received  by 
the  American  binder  are  sufficient  to  outweigh 
the  injury  which  will  be  done  to  those  who  have 
built  up  a  business  in  old  books  and  to  those 
who  desire  to  purchase  them  for  their  libraries. 
It  is  true  that  a  portion  of  the  old  books 
which  are  imported  have  been  rebound  within 
twenty  years.  And  to  this  extent  there  .is 
basis  in  fact  for  the  argument  presented. 

But  we  submit  that  if  a  duty  were  jtnpos 
on  old  books  it  would  bring  very  little  addi- 
tional   work   to    American    binders.     It    woulc 
either  keep  the  books  out  of  the  country  en- 
tirely or  it  would  increase  their  price  by  t 
amount  of  the   duty;   and   in   either  case  th< 
American  binder  would  not  get  the  work.    Wit] 
old  books  on  the  free  list  the  American  bindei 
now  gets  a  portion  of  the  rebindm*. 
position  of  a  duty  would  cut  down  what  1 
now  getting,  because  fewer  old  books  ' 
quire  rebinding  would  be  imported. 

It  is  not  by  the  imposition  of  a  duty  on  c 
books  that  the  American  binder  will  be^t 
his  own  interests.     His  interests   will  best  1

served  by  improving  his  skill  and  learning  to 
bind  books  in  an  artistic  manner  comparable 
with  the  binders  of  England  and  France.  The 
binder  in  this  country  lias  never  apprenticed 
himself  to  his  work  for  as  many  years  as  has 
Che  workman  abroad. 

It  is  true  that  there  has  never  been  the  large 
public  demand  here  for  extra  leather  bindings 
and  highly  artistic  work  that  there  has  been 
abroad.  But  it  is  also  true  that  in  the  few 
cases  where  binders  have  really  equipped  them- 
selves to  do  high  class  work,  they  have  been 
successiul.  As  an  example  of  such  binders  we 
beg  leave  to  mention  Miss  Sears  of  Boston  and 
Miss  Lahey  of  New  York.  Both  have  all  they 
can  do  from  American  clients,  and  both  are 
successful.  Another  example  is  Mr.  Kalaba,  of 
Stikeman  &  Company,  114  West  32nd  Street, 
New  York  City,  who  has  worked  himself  up 
from  the  ordinary  commercial  binding  to  a 
point  where  he  does  the  finest  of  full  levant 
work,  and  he  finds  his  time  fully  occupied  with 
work  given  him  by  American  patrons. 

The  point  that  we  desare  to  make  is  that  the 
Tariff  must  not  'be  used  as  a  screen  for  incom- 
petence at  the  expense  of  legitimate  importing 
businesses  and  at  the  expense  of  book  lovers 
and  those  who  desire  to  purchase  artistically 
bound  books  at  a  reasonable  price. 

There  is  no  doubt  that  if  the  American  work- 
man produces  an  equal  quality  of  binding,  the 
work  will  come  to  him.  It  lies  rather  with  the 
man's  own  initiative  and  ability,  than  by  the 
protection  of  a  tariff  duty  on  old  books. 

It  has  been  suggested  that  the  difficulty  might 
be  overcome  by  placing  all  books  printed  more 
than  twenty  years  on  the  free  list,  with  a  pro- 
viso that  a  duty  be  imposed  upon  bindings  which 
were  placed  on  such  books  wdthin  the  twenty 
year  period. 

Such  a  proposal  sounds  logical  and  reason^ 
able,  but  if  adopted  infinite  confusion  is  sure 
<to  arise,  because  no  man  can  tell,  by  looking  at 
a  binding,  how  long  it  has  been  on  the  book. 

For  example,  we  have  in  our  stock  a  set  of 
Macaulay's  Works,  in  13  volumes,  print- 
ed, according  to  the  date  on  the  title  page,  in 
1849- 

Somewhere  in  the  period  between  the  print- 
ing of  the  book  in  1849  and  the  current  year, 
this  set  -was  rebound  for  the  former  owner  in 
full  tree  calf  by  Riviere  &  Son  of  London.  The 
set  has  been  kept  in  a  private  library,  and  pre- 
sumably .behind  glass  doors,  and  it  is  as  fresh 
as  the  day  it  was  bound 

This  book  was  imported  last  year,  and,  by 
the  date  on  the  title  page,  it  was  passed  Duty 
Free,  as  having  been  printed  and  bound  over 
twenty  years.  We  recently  showed  this  book 
to  the  appraiser  in  Boston,  and  asked  him,  if 
it  came  before  him  with  the  proviso  as  above 
in  the  tariff,  at  what  period  he  would  assume 
the  binding  to  have  been  done. 

He  frankly  told  us  he  could  not  tell  whether 
it  had  been  bound  five  years  or  twenty-five 
years,  and  as  he  was  working  for  the  United 
States  government,  he  would  naturally  give  the 
Government  the  benefit  of  tihe  doubt,  and 
assess  duty  on  the  book,  as  having  been  bound 


less  than  twenty  years,  and  it  would  then  be  up 
to  the  importer  to  prove  to.  the  contrary.  This 
is  something  it  would  be  utterly  impossible  to 
do.  No  importer  could  take  an  oath  as  to  when 
the  book  was  bound. 

Thousands  of  similarly  bound  books  are  im- 
ported by  the  book  trade  of  America  on  the  as- 
sumption that  the  book,  or  sets,  will  be  passed 
as  an  entirety  by  the  date  on  the  title  page. 
Should  this  not  continue  to  be  the  custom,  as 
it  has  been  under  the  various  previous  tariffs, 
it  would  throw  the  importing  of  such  books 
into  endless  confusion  and  cause  no  end  of 
protest  and  very  materially  injure  the  trade 
to  a  great  deal  larger  extent  than  the  value  of 
the  revenue  thereby  collected,  and  to  a  much 
greater  extent  than  the  protection  thus  afforded 
would  benefit  the  binders  of  this  country. 

It  seems  to  us  that  the  provision  covering  the 
duty,  on  any  and  all  books,  should  be  so  clearly 
defined  that  the  importer  should  not  be  at  the 
mercy  of  a  "guess"  of  the  appraiser. 

We  therefore  submit  that  there  should  be  no 
duty  on  books  printed  more  than  twenty  years, 
even  if  bound  more  recently.  Such  a  duty  not 
only  would  irreparably  injure  the  importing 
business  without  any  'benefit  to  the  home  in- 
dustry, but  it  would  be  contrary  to  the  highest 
interest  of  the  country  as  being  a  tax  on  study 
and  learning.  And  we  further  submit  that  if  it 
were  attempted  to  impose  a  duty  on  the  recent 
bindings  on  old  books,  there  would  be  endless 
administrative  confusion  and  unfairness  by  rea- 
son of  uncertainty,  without  any  corresponding 
benefit  to  the  binding  trade  of  this  country. 

Foreign-Language   Books 

We  also  hope  that  "books  and  pamphlets 
printed  wholly  or  chiefly  in  languages  other 
than  English"  will  be  put  back  in  the  Duty 
Free  part  of  the  Tariff. 

Books  in  foreign  languages  do  much  for  the 
educational  side  of  the  American  foreign  citi- 
zen, and  as  practically  no  books  are  printed  in 
a  foreign  language  in  this  country,  the  import- 
ing of  such  books  works  no  hardship  on  Ameri- 
can labor. 
All  of  which  is  respectfully  presented.

Bookish  Greetings 

THE  Christmas  card  that  Gabriel  Wells,  New 
York  dealer  in  rare  books,  sent  to  his 
friends  seems  particularly  applicable  in  its  senti- 
ments to  the  1922  situation  in  the  book-trade : 
"All  men  are  born  different  and  dependent. 
Thru  cooperation  they  become  fraternal  and 
free.  Cooperation  <is  that  which  transforms  the 
razv  material  of  animal  existence  into  the  fine 
product  of  human  life.  If  competition  is  the 
life  of  business,  cooperation  is  the  business  of 
life"

In  the  Field  of  the  Retailer 


The  Bookshop  Atmosphere 

ONE  of  the  many  explanations  that  have 
been  made  of  the  present  prosperity  and 
increased  interest  in  the  small  bookshop  is 
contained  in  an  article  by  Amy  Bonner  that 
appeared  in  the  Times  Book  Review. 

"Now  that  the  famous  old  coffee  houses  are 
no  more,  might  not  one  speak  of  their  mantle 
as  having  descended  upon  the  quaint  little  book- 
shop of  to-day,  where  book  lover  and  littera- 
teur, scholar  and  raconteur,  author  and,  aye, 
columnist  now  gather  to  partake  of  the  de- 
lectable feasts  of  discourse  and  of  many  minds? 
The  genial  bookseller  is  mine  host,  and,  altho 
the  sanded  floor,  the  buxom  daughter  flourish- 
ing in  and  out  between  spotless  tables,  and, 
alas !  the  steaming  bowj  are  now  lacking,  dis- 
cussions nevertheless  wax  bright  and  scintil- 
lating, until  midnight  often,  when  the  'kobold' 
and  the  cat  are  supposed  to  arise,  'to  prowl 
among  the  books,'  as  a  delightful  old  book  plate 
has  it." 

There  is  a  good  deal  of  truth  in  this  sugges- 
tion, and,  as  the  bookshop  manager  becomes 
more  and  more  widely  acquainted  and  better 
able  to  serve  as  a  distributing  point  for  ideas 
and  enthusiasms,  so  is  he  or  she  more  and  more 
likely  to  have  in  the  bookshop  aisles  people  who 
by  genius  and  ability  can  be  appropriately  com- 
pared to  the  famous  habitues  of  London's  old 
coffee  house.  Certainly  there  could  be  no  better 
place  in  which  to  develop  this  atmosphere  of 
friendly  interchange. 

I 

IN  a  recent  number  of  the  Burrows  Brothers 
Breeze,  James  Soutar,  Manager  of  the  Book 
Department,  on  his  page  "Observed  and  Over- 
heard,"  notes   the   following: 

Overheard:  During  photographing  of  the 
store,  Sunday,  September  twenty-sixth,  many 
comments  on  the  neatness  of  the  stock.  It  can 
be  kept  that  way  without  having  the  firm  go 
to  the  expense  of  taking  pictures  again.  Let's 
try. 


Overheard:  A  salesman  directing  a  customer 
to  another  salesperson  for  a  twenty-five  cent 
map.  A  little  salesmanship  often  increases 
the  sale  to  a  ten  dollar  wall  map.  Don't  shirk 
small  sales. 

Observed:  Many  customers  being  offered 
nothing  but  the  very  latest  fiction.  Suggest 
some  not  so  recent  and  avoid  their  getting 
into  a  special  sale  later.  This  helps  boost 
the  department  profits. 

Observed:  Boys  in  the  basement  opening 
boxes  with  the  hammer.  Use  a  nail  puller 
as  many  of  the  cases  are  resold.  Morris,  take 
heed. 

Observed:  That  "sales-grabbing"  is  becom- 
ing more  noticeable  .  It  spoils  the  morale  of 
the  department  and  is  not  appreciated  by  cus- 
tomers. Avoid  it. 

Observed:  That  sales  rivalry  in  the  book  de- 
partment is  at  fever  heat.  Don't  let  it  inter- 
fere with  service  to  the  customer.

And    'King   Coal'    came    instead:

'For  they  sound  alike,'  she  said. 

"  'Rich  Relatives'  I   phoned   for,

To  Read  Before  You  Die 

THERE  is  always  a  place  for  another  list 
of  best  books.  Upton  Sinclair  has,  in 
"The  Book  of  Life,"  chosen  the  thirty-two 
books  which  we  should  all  read  before  we  die. 
"Do  not  let  the  world  cheat  you  out  of  your 
chance,"  he  says.  This  is  the  list: 


widespread  feeling  even  among  the  admirers 
of  Wells  that  'Joan  and  Peter'  is  too  long 
and  too  didactic.  And  yet  we  would  just  as 
soon  die  for  this  one  as  any  other  novel  of 
Wells.  It  is  almost  our  favorite  and  seems 
to  us  to  contain  not  only  an  absorbing  story, 
but  the  best  discussion  of  education  which 
was  ever  printed.  The  second  best  which  we

"However,  to  non-Wellsians,  if  there  are 
any  such,  we  suggest  Tono  Bungay'  as  a 
good  starting  point.  This  is  rather  generally 
ranked  as  the  best  of  his  novels.  To  us  he 
has  always  seemed  to  tower  over  all  other

Heywood  Broun  quotes  the  list 
in  his  column  in  the  New  York 
World  and  disagrees  with  some  of  its  details. 

"In  Upton  Sinclair's  list  of  thirty-two  'must' 
books,  six  volumes  of  H.  G.  Wells  are  included. 
According  to  our  way  of  thinking,  six  in  a 
list  of  thirty-two  is  by  no  means  too  large 
a  representation  for  Wells,  but  we  disagree 
most  heartily  with  Sinclair's  selection.  We 
would  keep  onlv  one  of  the  six  books  which 
he  mentions.  His  list  is  largely  drawn  from 
the  early  days  of  Wells,  when  he  was  given 
over  to  pseudo-scientific  novels.  These  do  not 
seem  to  us  nearly  as  important  as  most  of  his 
later  work.  'An  Outline  of  History*  belongs 
at  the  top  of  any  recommended  list  of  his 
books.  In  our  opinion,  the  other  five  ought  to 
be  'Joan  and  Peter,'  'The  Research  Magnifi- 
cent,' 'Tono  Bungay,'  'The  History  of  Mr. 
Polly'  and  The  New  Machiavelli.'  Perhaps 
we  would  be  tempted  into  extending  the  list 
to  seven  because  it  almost  breaks  our  heart 
to  throw  out  'Love  and  Mr,,  Lewisham.'

Books  on  Europe 

THE  announcement  of  the  Conference  at 
Genoa  in  March,  which  is  to  include  at  least 
twenty  European  countries  as  well  as  the 
United  States,  means  that  there  will  be  an 
increased  interest  in  books  on  present  European 
conditions,  especially  on  the  economic  facts  and 
prospects.  In  the  minds  of  many,  this  Con- 
ference is  even  more  important  than  that  which 
is  closing  at  Washington,  and  the  issues  at  stake 
will  touch  the  interest  of  every  country  and 
especially  the  intimate  interest  of  every  busi- 
ness man  in  this  country.  For  this  reason,  if 
for  no  other,  J:he  demand  for  accurate  and 
thoroly  digested  information  will  be  insistent,

A  Text  Book  Center 

BARNES  &  NOBLE,  Inc..  successors  to 
Hinds  &  Noble,  have  just  signed  a  ten  year 
lease  for  a  large  second  floor  at  74-76  Fifth 
Avenue,  on  the  north  side  of  Thirteenth  Street, 
which  has  an  L  extending  to  Thirteenth  Street, 
giving  them  excellent  shipping  facilities.  They 
will  move  into  their  new  store  about  February  i. 

As  their  building  is  almost  next  door  to  the 
houses  of  Ginn  &  Company  and  Marmillan 
Company,  and  is  close  to  the  American  Book 
Company,  Scott  Foresman,  Newson  &  Com- 
pany, Hinds,  Hayden  &  Eldredge,  and  Milton 
Bradley,  the  decision  of  Barnes  &  Noble  to 
locate  there  seems  to  reflect  a  tendency  of  the 
text-book  publishers  to  concentrate  near  this 
point. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  this  house  has 
moved  but  once  in  35  years.  The  business 
which  was  established  by  Arthur  Hinds,  later 
joined  by  G.  Clifford  Noble  was  carried  on  in 
Cooper  Institute  for  15  years  and  has  been  at 
31-35  West  Fifteenth  Street,  New  York  City 
for  the  past  20  years.

A  HANDSOME  magazine  for  colU-rt..rv

lantic Avenue.  The  publishers  design  it  for 
those  "who  find  interest  in  times  past  and  in  the 
articles  of  daily  use  and  adornment  devised  by 
the  forefathers."  The  initial  number  shows  an 
extremely  handsome  format,  amply  illustrated, 
and  among  the  articles  is  one  by  George  H 
gent  on  "Books,  Old  and  Rare."  The  publishers 
are  also  conducting  a  Book  Department  and 
have  a  full-page  list  of  current  books  on  furni- 
ture, china,  silver  and  on  other  subjects  of  di- 
rect interest  to  collectors.

Rare  Books,  Autographs  and  Prints 


A    collection  of  woodcuts  by  John  J.  A.  Mur- 
phy much  in  the  style  of  early  wood  en- 
graving is  on  view  at  the  Keppel  Galleries. 

A  large  and  handsome  collection  of  eighteenth 
century  mezzotint  portraits  is  on  exhibition  at 
the  Knoedler  Galleries. 

I 

The  Kennedy  Galleries  are  showing  a  collec- 
tion of  the  etchings  of  Anders  Zorn  of  varied 
character  and  including  some  rare  plates  and 
beautiful  impressions. 

John  Drinkwater's  new  book  of  poems  "Seeds 
of  Time"  contains  twelve  sonnets  with  the 
general  title  "Persuasion."  These  sonnets  have 
been  privately  printed  in  an  edition  limited  to 
fifty  copies.

Mrs.  Louis  Prang  of  Boston  has  given  the 
New  York  Public  Library  a  complete  set  of  the 
publishers'  proofs  of  the  publicatoins  of  L. 
Prang  &  Company,  the  famous  art  publishing 
firm,  in  sixteen  large  volumes. 

The  Kent  Memorial  Library  of  Suffield, 
Mass.,  has  lately  come  into  the  possesssion  of  a 
complete  file  of  The  Impartial  Herald,  pub- 
lished in  Suffield  toward  the  end  of  the  eight- 
eenth century.  The  paper  appears  to  be  un- 
known to  bibliographers  and  this  file  is  probably 
unique. 

Rare  Americana,  including  early  almanacs, 
broadsides,  Massachusetts  sessions  laws,  pam- 
phlets on  the  Whiteleld  controversy,  books  con- 
cerning the  Revolutionary  War,  the  early  his- 
tory of  California,  the  overland  route  and  a  few 
miscellaneous  autographs,  will  be  sold  by  the 
Heartman  Auction  Company.  Inc.,  at  Perth  Am- 
i  civ.  X.  J.,  January  28. 

A  long  series  of  books  illustrated  by  Arthur 
Rackham  was  recentlv  sold  at  Sotheby's  in  Lon- 
don. Limited  editions  of  Irving's  "Rip  Van 
Winkle"  and  Barrie's  "Peter  Pan"  brought  £15 
each.  Shakespeare's  "Midsummer  Night's 
Dream,"  and  Wagner's  "Ring  of  the  Nibelung," 
£4  iss.  each ;  and  two  copies  of  Fouque's  "Un- 
dine" £2  i8s.  each. 

The  story  of  "Stephen  Dave  and  His  Succes- 
sors," the  first  printers  of  Massachusetts,  is  told 
in  a  little  volume  issued  in  a  limited  edition  by 
the  University  Press  of  Cambridge.  The  book 
is  illustrated  with  sketches  by  George  F.  Tren- 
holm.  One  of  those  shows  the  first  printing 
press  brought  to  this  country,  from  which  the 
first  newspaper  in  Vermont  was  printed,  and 
now  .preserved  in  the  State  Capitol  at  Mont- 
pelier. 

The  bibliographical  points  of  Conrad's 
"Chance"  have  now  got  pretty  well  straightened 


out.  It  appears  that  that  there  are  four  issues 
of  the  genuine  first  edition:  the  1913  title  print- 
ed on  a  half  sheet;  the  1913  title  on  a  single 
leaf  tipped  in ;  the  1914  title  printed  on  a  single 
leaf  tipped  in ;  and  the  1914  title  printed  on  a 
half  sheet.  Two  forgeries  have  been  discov- 
ered:  one  of  the  1913  title  on  a  half  sheet  and 
the  other  of  the  1913  title  on  a  single  leaf 
tipped  in.

gether  this  is  one  of  the  most  important  sales 
of  the  season. 

The  collection  of  first  editions,  letters,  manu-

Sometime  since  Albert  E.  Gallatin  wrote  an 
essay  on  "Modern  Fine  Printing  in  America," 
inspired  by  the  exhibition  of  fine  printing  under 
the  auspices  of  the  American  Art  Institute  in 
1920,  which  has  recently  been  privately  printed. 
Writing  of  Bruce  Rogers  he  says : 

"No  printer  has  shown  as  great  versatility 
and  variety  in  his  work  as  has  Mr.  Bruce  Rog- 
ers. Quite  different  in  format  are  the  ninety- 
seven  volumes  designed  by  Mr.  Rogers  up  to 
1916,  which  are  listed  in  one  of  the  publications 
of  the  Carteret  Book  Club  of  Newark.  Design- 
ing his  own  types,  as  many  printers  did  until 
the  seventeenth  century  (and  cut  their  punches 
as  well),  drawing  or  engraving  his  own  initial 
letters  and  headpieces,  designing  his  bindings, 
in  addition  to  laying  out  his  books,  the  volumes 
of  Mr.  Rogers  are  as  distinctive  as  those  print- 
ed at  the  Kelmscott,  Doves  and  other  English 
presses.  What  Mr.  Rogers  has  done,  however, 
is  a  far  greater  achievement  than  that  accom- 
plished by  any  other  of  these  presses :  for  one 
thing,  and  this  is  an  important  one,  his  books 
are  meant  to  be  read  and  are  not  merely  objets 
d'art.  Mr.  Rogers'  volumes  range  all  the  way 
from  a  large  folio,  with  illuminated  roundels 
inspired  by  a  thirteenth  century  manuscript,  to 
a  three-volume  edition  of  Montaigne's  "Essays," 
in  folio,  the  "History  of  Oliver  and  Arthur." 
set  in  black  letter,  to  a  diminutive  edition  of 
"Ecclesiastes."  Other  volumes  include  an  elab- 
orate book  on  Geoffrey  Tory,  an  extremely 
beautiful  edition  of  Chaucer's  "Parlement  of 
Foules,"  printed  in  black,  red  and  blue,  with 
gold  initials,  and  an  altogether  delightful  volume 
entitled  "Franklin  and  His  Press  at  Passy." 
which  has  been  printed  for  the  Grolier  Club. 
Every  one  of  these  books  is  distinguished  for 
the  technical  excellence  of  its  layout;  the  two 


pages  are  properly  considered  as  being  a  unit, 
the  margins  are  of  correct  and  pleasing  propor- 
tions, the  type  is  always  clear  and  of  the  right 
size  for  the  page,  the  composition  is  faultless, 
and  the  decorations  are  always  suitable  and 
form  an  integral  part  of  the  whole." 

A.  W.  Pollard  of  the  British  Museum  some- 
time ago  declared  that  Mr.  Rogers  was  the 
"most  vital  force  in  modern  typography"  and 
wrote  about  his  work  quite  as  appreciatively  as 
Mr.  Gallatin.  It  is  the  "versatility,"  practical 
beauty  and  vital  force"  of  his  bookmaking 
that  is  the  secret  of  his  wide  recognition  and 
growing  popularity  among  booklovers  and  col- 
lectors. The  books  printed  by  him  have  been 
steadily  increasing  in  value  for  several  years. 
Based  upon  real  merit,  and  not  a  mere  fashion, 
the  collectors  of  Mr.  Rogers'  books  are  sure  to 
grow  in  numbers  among  all  who  care  for  beau- 
tiful and  appropriate  typography.

SEVEN  YEARS  OF  A  DIPLOMATIST'S  LIFE 
IN    THE    STORM    CENTRE    OF    EUROPE 


SECRETS  OF  THE  BALKANS 

By  CHARLES  J.  VOPICKA 

UNITED    STATES    ENVOY    EXTRAORDINARY    AND    MINISTER    PLENIPOTENTIARY 
TO   ROUMANIA,   SERBIA   AND    BULGARIA,    1913-1920 


A  RARE  CONTRIBUTION 
TO  THE  ANNALS  OF  THE,  WORLD  WAR 

FOR  five  years  Mr.  Vopicka  upheld  the  honor  of  his  country  and,  as  one 
after  another  of  the  powers  were  drawn  into  the  maelstrom,  he  assumed  the 
responsibilities  of  their  legations  and  consulates  until  at  one  time  he  was 
representing  the  interests  of  eight  nations, — the  United  States,  Roumania, 
Germany,  Turkey,  England,  Russia,  Italy  and  Serbia.  How  he  maintained 
the  difficulties  of  his  position,  and  how  he  worked  always  for  right  and  justice 
is  told  in  these  pages.

STEPHEN    FRENCH  WHITMAN'S    NOVEL 


SACRIFICE 


The  word  is  quickly  spreading  that  Whitman's 
"Sacrifice"  will  be  the  big  adventure  novel  of 
the  day.  It  possesses  all  the  qualities  of 
popular  interest  and  entertainment  that  sell  a 
novel  to  the  limit.  Readers  (and  reviewers!) 
of  adventure  and  romance  will  thrill  to  the 
colorful  glamor  of  its  story  of  a  woman  who 
could  sacrifice  all  to  love.  They  will  find  the 
exquisite  style  in  which  it  is  written  not  only 
unusual  in  romances  of  adventure  but  also 
giving  it  true  literary  significance. 
Ready  early  in  February 

"Sacrifice"  can  be  called  with  no  hesitancy  a  sure  fire  best  seller.  Sell  it 
to  the  men  who  want  the  excitement  of  adventure,  of  strong,  virile 
romance;  sell  it  to  the  women  whose  hearts  will  follow  the  beautiful, 
society  heroine  in  her  thrilling  pursuit  of  happiness,  her  undergoing  of 
exotic  dangers  in  the  hope  of  finding  her  love.

England  always  finds  a  wide  audience  among  those  who  like  exciting 
adventures,  stirring  struggles  with  primitive  nature,  and  plenty  of  romance.

STEPHEN 
GRAHAM 


All  too  infrequently  appears  a  man  who  can  live  and  mix  intimately  with  foreign 
peoples  and  then  accurately  record  his  impressions  in  writing.  Frederick  O'Brien 
can  do  this ;  Stephen  Graham  can.  Attracted  by  the  spirit  of  Russian  literature 
Graham  once  gave  up  his  London  home  to  take  his  chances  among  the  Russian 
peasants  and  students.  He  has  lived  in  little  Russia  and  Moscow,  has  tramped 
in  the  Caucasus  and  the  Crimea,  in  the  Ural  Mountains,  in  the  Far  North  of 
Russia.  He  has  accompanied  the  peasant  pilgrims  from  Russia  to  Jerusalem; 
with  immigrants  from  Russia  to  America  he  has  crossed  the  Atlantic  in  the  steer- 
age, has  tramped  from  New  York  to  Chicago  and  the  farms  of  the  West.  Central 

Asia,  Egypt,  the  Balkans,  Norway,  Georgia  have  seen 
this  tramper  of  the  world,  curious  of  the  peoples,  their 
habits  of  mind,  their  daily  habits  of  life.  In  the  war 
he  served  as  private  in  the  2nd  Bt.  Scots  Guards.  All 
of  his  adventurings  have  been  narrated  in  very  read- 
able and  absorbingly  interesting  books,  among  them, 
"A  Vagabond  in  the  Caucasus,"  "The  Way  of  Martha

EUROPE— WHITHER  BOUND?  is  Stephen  Graham's  new 
book.  Than  him  no  one  could  ibe  found  better  able  to  feel 
the  pulse  of  Europe  today  and  tell  what  conditions  abroad 
really  are.  He  visited  in  succession  every  one  of  the  con- 
tinental capitals,  and  tells  in  delightful  chapters  the  things 
we  Americans  most  wonder  about.  What  frame  of  mind 
is  England's,  France's,  Italy's.  Germany's.  Greece's  and  the 
Balkans'  today?  Exactly  what  are  France's  intentions?  What 
is  seen  in  the  streets  of  Vienna?  People  want  to  know  theafe 
things.  The  Graham  book  is  of  surpassing  timeliness.  In 
addition,  it  is  very  good  reading.  Octavo.  $2.00  net.

Lord  Frederic  Hamilton 

eLord  Frederic  Hamilton  is  "that  jolly  old  aristocrat"  who 
has  been  everywhere,  met  everyone  and  who  knows  all  the 
stories.  Inspired  to  reminiscence  by  the  wealth  of  his  per- 
-U  sonal  experiences  he  last  year  wrote  "The  Vanished  Pomps 
of  Yesterday."  It  is  not  often  that  candor  goes  so  far  in 
description  of  the  intimate  details  of  a  very  brilliant  and 
alluring  society.  So  great  was  this  book's  success  that  Lord 
Hamilton  turned  to  his  youth,  taking  the  muser's  privilege 
of  jumping  from  continent  to  continent.  This  he  called 
"The  Days  Before  Yesterday."  Now  the  third  volume, 
"Here,  There  and  Everywhere,"  filled  with  the  humor  and 
frankness  which  makes  his  personal  experiences  and  keen 
observation  a  fascinating  panorama  of  affairs  the  world 
over,  has  taken  the  public  by  storm.

A  NEW  NOVEL  BY 

Sheila  Kaye  Smith 

is  an  event  in  the  literary  world.  She  is  recognized  in  England  as  the 
dominant  figure  among  the  women  writing  fiction  there  to-day.  With 
each  successive  novel  she  has  shown  her  steady  growth  in  power. 

A  CHALLENGE  TO  SIRIUS 

was  a  story  of  an  Englishman's  experience  in  the  Southern  States  in  the  middle 
sixties,  and  if  it  jarred  American  traditions  of  the  Civil  War  it  was  wonderfully 
illuminating  of  the  impressions  current  in  England  during  that  struggle. 

TAMARISK  TOWN 

is  the  story  of  a  man  who,  'with  a  joy  that  approaches  the  divine,  creates  a  town 
and  then  finds  himself  torn  between  his  love  for  the  work  of  his  hands,  and  his 
love  for  a  woman  who  dislikes  the  place,  and  can  not  understand  its  meaning  for 
him.  As  H.  W.  Boynton  put  it  "The  tale  has  magic  of  style  and  of  mood.  .  . 
the  glamour  of  true  story-telling." 

THE  FOUR  ROADS 

is  the  story  of  what  war  meant  to  Sussex,  one  of  the  strongest,  finest  pictures 
interpreting  rural  England  which  the  war  produced.  It  epitomized  a  whole 
country's  war  time  atmosphere. 

GREEN  APPLE  HARVEST 

Here,  said  The  Literary  Review,  she  has  achieved  "greater  power,  a  more  genuine 
maturity  than  she  has  ever  shown  before,"  noting  also,  "the  uncanny  manner  in 
which  Miss  Kaye  Smith  analyzes  the  masculine  mind,  the  vivid  reality  of  her  scenes 
about  which  women  as  a  rule  know  nothing  or  little."  It  is  rare,"  said  The 
Tribune,  "to  find  a  book  that  brings  at  once  the  great  and  little  gifts  of  beauty." 

Her  Latest  Novel  is  also  her  Best 

Joanna  Godden 

The  story  of  a  young  woman  who,  inheriting  a  farm,  proceeds  to  manage  it 
according  to  her  also  inherited  ability,  regardless  of  her  neighbors'  views  as  to 
woman's  place  and  man's  superior  wisdom — in  farming  at  least.  At  last,  she 
has  turned  her  splendid  powers  of  analysis  upon  a  woman  and  has  produced  a 
story  that  is  far  and  away  her  best. 

Each,  $2.00

IRELAND  AND  THE  MAKING 
OF  BRITAIN 

By  Benedict  Fitzpatrick 

A  new,  strange  history,  full  of  striking 
revelations  about  Ireland's  conspicuous 
part  in  the  world's  affairs  while  under  the

1 100  years.  Authoritative  vindication  of 
Ireland's  ancient  greatness  just  at  the  time 
she  becomes  a  free  state.  While  some  of 
the  statements  made  in  the  book  are  in- 
deed startling,  they  are  absolutely  indis- 
putable, being  based  on  records  in  the  li- 
braries of  Europe.  Thrillingly  interesting.

WILL  POWER  AND  WORK 

By  Jules  Payot 

A  new  book  that  will  be  as  popular  as 
the  author's  previous  work,  "The  Education 
of  the  Will,"  which  has  already  passed 
through  more  than  thirty  editions.  "Will 
Power  and  Work"  gives  a  new  view- 
point on  the  relationship  between  the 
human  will  and  work ;  it  will  help  the 
reader  to  solve  many  of  his  knottiest  prob- 
lems. It  describes  how  the  memory  may 
be  educated  to  be  responsive  and  will 
power  to  be  subject  to  control  and  how  to 
gain  the  precious  power  of  concentration. 
All  who  read  it  will  get  more  satisfaction 
and  profit  out  of  a  humdrum  day's  work.

AFTER  THE  WAR 

London  -  Paris  -  Rome  -  Athens  -  Prague 
Vienna  -  Budapest  -  Bucharest  -  Berlin 
Sofia  -  Coblenz  -  New  York  -  Washington 


Few  recent  books  have  created  the  sensation 
of  Colonel  Repington's  FIRST  WORLD  WAR 
and  his  new  book  will,  we  believe,  be  more 
widely  enjoyed.  During  the  period  covered 
by  this  continuation  of  his  diary,  Colonel 
Repington  visited  the  capitals  of  the  Western 
world  and  talked  with  leading  statesmen  and 
men  of  affairs  in  each  country.  His  picture 
of  the  world  today  is  complete  and  illuminat- 
ing beyond  the  power  of  any  other  man  to 
paint,  and  is  lightened  throughout  with  the 
inexhaustible  fund  of  anecdotes  and  gossip 
that  were  so  great  a  feature  in  the  popular- 
ity of  its  predecessor.  The  volume  ends  with 
a  first-hand  account  of  the  Washington  Con- 
ference and  a  description  of  American  scenes 
and  celebrities,  written  with  all  the  frankness 
and  intimacy  for  which  the  author  is  famous. 

Colonel  Repington  will  start  an  extensive  and  widely  advertis- 
ed American  lecture  tour  early  in  February.  His  new  volume 
is  sure  to  occasion  a  deluge  of  publicity  in  the  press,  and  this, 
combined  with  the  lecture  engagements,  should  easily  make  it 
the  most  talked  of  book  of  the  spring.

BEYOND  SHANGHAI 

By  HAROLD   SPEAKMAN 

This  exceedingly  charming  "look  in"  upon  China  is  unique  because  it  is  "different."  The  author 
made  a  solemn  compact  with  himself  not  to  attempt  to  describe,  sketch,  or  otherwise  molest  the 
imperial  palaces  at  Peking,  but  to  see  as  much  as  he  could  of  the  Chinese  people  themselves  in 
their  humblest  and  most  intimate  surroundings,  to  live  alone  with  the  Chines*  and  to  eat  their 
food.  And  this  he  did,  and  the  fruitage  of  his  unusual  experiences  is  given  in  this  interesting  book, 
embellished  by  eight  illustrations  in  color  from  paintings  made  on  the  spot  by  the  author.  In  Press.

FYODOR    DOSTOYEVSKY 

By  Aimee  Dostoyevsky 

The  definitive  biography  of  the  great  Russian  for  which 
his  ever  increasing  public  has  been  impatiently  waiting. 

William  Lyon  Phelps  (who  is  getting  behind  the  book) 
says: 

"The  daughter  of  the  great  Russian  novelist,  Dostoyevsky,  has  written 
a  romantic  and  highly  interesting  biography  of  her  father.  .  .  .To  those 
who  have  read  Dostoyevsky's  novels  these  new  and  intimate  revelations 
will  be  of  keen  interest,  and  even  if  one  has  never  read  any  of  the  novels, 
this  biography  is  written  in  such  a  manner  as  to  hold  the  attention  of  the 
reader  from  beginning  to  end." 

And  in  a  two  column  review  in  the  London  Times  Lit- 
erary Supplement  can  be  found  such  quotations  as  the  follow- 
ing: 

"The  story  of  Dostoyevsky's  life  as  told  by  his  daughter  in  this 
volume  is  one  of  enthralling  interest.  .  .  .  The  book  belongs  to  literature 
and  one  lays  it  down  with  a  sense  of  deep  gratitude  to  the  writer,  whose 
love  and  sympathy,  combined  with  her  admirable  gift,  have  given  us  so 
moving  a  revelation  of  the  mind  and  character  of  a  great  artist."

TWENTY-THREE  years  ago  Elbert  Hubbard 
wrote  "A  Message  to  Garcia."  It  was  the  story  of 
a  man  who — without  asking  what  or  why;  without 
alibis  or  excuses— went  ahead  and  did  the  'impossible. 
The  book  was  translated  into  every  modern  language; 
millions  of  copies  have  been  sold. 

Now,  out  of  the  hardest  selling  year  in  this  generation  there  comes 
another  "message."  It  is  a  book  not  written  by  a  famous  author ;  it  is  written 
by  th'e  fifty-one  salesmen  who  made  the  best  sales — under  the  hardest  condi- 
tions— in  1921.  In  their  own  words  they  tell  just  how  they  put  thinking  into 
selling  and  made  the  orders  come  through. 

No  salesman  can  read  this  book  without  having  the  results  show  in  his 
own  personal  production.  Salesmanagers  will  recognize  that  something  has 
happened  to  the  men  who  have  digested  its  message.  It  is  called 

Bare-Handed  Selling 

A  BOOK  OF  TRUE  SALES  EXPERIENCES,  WITH  A  PERSONAL  MESSAGE 
TO  SALESMEN  FROM  CHARLES  M.  SCHWAB 

Fifty-one  accomplishments  of  the  seemingly  impossible  are  described  by 
the  very  men  who  did  the  job.  in  this  new  book  for  thinking  salesmen.  It  is  not 
a  book  on  salesmanship — it  is  a  book  on  selling;  it  is  not  an  exposition  of 
theory — it  is  a  thrilling  recital  of  actual  experience — told  by  the  men  who  faced 
the  problem,  and  won.  It  is  a  book  of 

Tools,   not  rules 

A  living  story,  in  one  compact  little  volume,  of  the  romance  of  selling  by 
men  who  love  their  work.  Booksellers,  themselves,  will  find  much  in  this  book 
directly  applicable  to  their  selling  problems.  The  demand  for  Bare-Handed 
Selling  is  already  large ;  and  it  will  increase  as  national  advertising  sjcts  under

"/  hold  every  man  a  debtor  to  his  profession, 
from  the  which,  as  men  oj  course  do  seek  to 
receive  countenance  and  profit,  so  ought  they  of 
duty  to  endeavor  themselves,  by  way  of  amends, 
to  be  a  help  and  ornament  thereunto." — BACON. 

The  Year's  Significance 

THE   year  of    1921    has   been   a   year   of 
book-trade  emphasis  on  distribution  and 
one  of  proper  caution  in  the  expansion  of 
the  number  of  titles.     England,  as  usual,  leads 
the  United  States  in  totals  and  this  year  has 
nearly    10,000   bound    volumes   compared  to   a 
little  over  6,400  new  books  and  new  editions  in 
•this  country. 

It  is  always  regretted  in  any  summary  of 
bookselling  conditions  that  there  are  no  facts 
by  which  to  record  the  total  number  of  books 
made  rather  than  the  total  number  of  titles  is- 
sued. In  many  other  industries,  there  are 
complete  records  of  output,  so  that  the  gen- 
eral progress  and  development  can  be  clearly 
charted.  In  bookselling,  however,  there  is 
no  agency  for  gathering  such  figures  and  no 
present  means  of  getting  them  together.  If 
yearly  figures  could  be  had  from  the  principal 
edition  book  binders  of  the  country,  which  are 
largely  located  in  the  big  cities,  there  could 
probably  be  a  clearer  understanding  of  the 
total  output  than  thru  any  other  means.  With 
but  slightly  fewer  titles  than  a  year  ago,  the 
total  sales  have  undoubtedly  increased,  judging 
by  the  reports  from  publishers,  and  if  com- 
plete statistics  could  be  had  from  the  retailers, 
an  even  better  showing  would  probably  be 
made,  as  for  the  first  months  of  the  year  re- 
tailers were  busy  cutting  down  their  stock  by 
turning  every  possible  item  into  sales.  Jobbers 
and  mail  order  houses  had  the  same  need  of 
curtailing  stock  investment. 

The  Year  Round  Bookselling  Campaign  has . 
been  the  most  significant  development  of  the 
year,  as  it  has  crystalized  the  book-trade 
sentiment  of  placing  more  emphasis  on  the 
perfecting  of  the  distributing  machinery  and 
on  the  need  of  reaching  the  public  with 
propaganda  of  book  ownership.  Those 
who  study  such  statistics  as  from  time 
to  time  appear  about  distribution  in  various 


other  fields  are  repeatedly  struck  with  the 
potential  possibilities  of  the  book  market  if 
lull  headway  could  be  reached,  l-'iyun-s  i>riiit- 
cd  elsewhere  in  this  number  point  to  the  fact 
that  the  phonograph  manufacturers  expect  to 
sell  as  many  records  in  1922  as  all  the  book 
publishers  combined,  including  the  schoolbook 
manufacturers,  will  sell  books,  or  will  sell  as 
many  records  as  all  the  books  circulated  in 
our  public  libraries.  But  in  spite  of  the  shock 
of  such  figures,  gain  has  been  made,  and,  in 
a  year  when  many  businesses  have  been  suf- 
fering curtailment,  books  have  noticeably  gone 
ahead. 

Another  significant  aspect  of  the  year  has 
been  the  increased  co-operation  between  vari- 
ous groups  interested  in  the  distribution  of 
books.  The  work  of  the  American  Library 
Association  has  broadened  in  its  scope  to  in- 
clude a  much  more  varied  stimulation  of  read- 
ing and  library  extension.  The  National  Edu- 
cation Association  has  been  discussing  the 
wider  place  of  general  reading  in  the  cur- 
riculum and  the  importance  of  libraries  in 
every  school  building,  however  small.  The 
government  has  continued  its  appropriation  for 
books  in  the  Navy,  and  the  Army  appropria- 
toin,  tho  curtailed,  is  still  going  on. 

It  has  been  a  record  year  of  new  book- 
stores, and  all  jobbers  report  many  new  ac- 
counts. The  material  published  by  the  Na- 
tional Association  of  Book  Publishers  on  book- 
store promotion  and  management  has  been 
very  widely  called  for  and  is  bringing  in  a 
steady  increase  of  inquiries.  These  are  signifi- 
cant indications  of  the  healthiness  of  the  book- 
trade. 

The  year's  analysis  of  the  cost  of  book- 
making  as  printed  in  the  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY 
of  January  i;th  has  shown  that  the  manufac- 
turing costs  have  not  receded  enough  to  give 
promise  of  lower  prices  for  the  year  except 
in  the  competitive  lines  where  reductions  in 
paper  and  in  binding  have  made  changes  pos- 
sible. 

Jn  the  years  after  the  Civil  \Var,  when  similar 
and  even  greater  increases  in  books  were 
necessary,  the  reductions  that  finally  came 
were  the  result  of  the  perfecting  of  new 
methods  of  manufacture,  from  new  paper 
machinery  and  perfected  printing  presses 
rather  than  in  decreases  in  the  elements  that 
had  previously  gone  into  manufacturing  costs. 
It  seems  likely  that  a  similar  situation  will 
obtain  in  the  coming  years.  If  the  book

has  been  its  extent,  I  cannot  say. 

"Of  Blatchford's  General  Statutes  of  New 
York,  a  local  work,  price  $4.50,  the  sale  has 
been  3,000;  equal  to  almost  30,000  of  a  similar 
work  for  the  United  Kingdom. 

"How  great  is  the  sale  of  Judge  Story's 
books  can  be  judged  only  from  the  fact  that 
the  copyright  now  yields,  and  for  years  past 
has  yielded,  more  than  $8,000  per  annum.  Of 
the  sale  of  Mr.  Prescott's  works  little  is  cer- 
tainly known,  but  it  cannot,  I  understand, 
have  been  less  than  160,000  volumes.  That  of 
Mr.  Bancroft's  History  has  already  risen,  cer- 


tainly, to  30,000  copies,  and  I  am  told  it  is 
considerably  more;  and  yet  even  that  is  a  sale, 
for  such  a  work,  entirely  unprecedented. 

"Of  the  works  of  Hawthorne.  Longfellow, 
Bryant,  Willis,  Curtis,  Sedgwick,  and  numer- 
ous others,  the  sale  is  exceedingly  great;  but, 
as  not  even  an  approximation  to  the  true 
amount  can  be  offered,  I  must  leave  it  to  you 
to  judge  of  it  by  comparison  with  those  of 
less  popular  authors  above  enumerated.  In 
several  of  these  cases,  beautifully  illustrated 
editions  have  been  published,  of  which  large 
numbers  have  been  sold.  Of  Mr.  Longfellow's 
volume  there  have  been  no  less  than  ten  edi- 
tions. These  various  facts  will  probably  suffice 
to  satisfy  you  that  this  country  presents  a 
market  for  books  of  almost  every  description 
unparalleled  in  the  world." 

For  a  population  that  had  but  recently  passed 
the  Mississippi,  this  showing  now  appears  re- 
markable. 


The  Year  Gone  By 


ALL  things  considered  the  book  business 
in    1921    appears    to   have    fared '  better 
than  almost  any  other  line  of  merchan- 
dising, according  to  the  statisticians  and  the  stu- 
dents of  the  business  barometer  as  analysed  in 
the  monthly  surveys.   It  maintained,  its  old  time 
reputation  of  being  the  last  to  feel  the  pinch 
of   hard  times   and  the  first  to  recover  when 
the   tide  has  a   favorable  turn. 

A  glance  at  the  records  of  the  year  shows 
but  few  business  failures  in  the  book-trade 
and  those  wholly  of  minor  importance.  Two 
of  tihe  speciality  publishing  houses  were  com- 
pelled to  ask  for  extensions  of  credit  but  both 
were  quietly  financed  with  satisfactory  results 
and  without  needless  publicity. 

One  of  the  two  outstanding  features  of  the 
development  of  trade  during  the  year  was  the 
splendid  fundamental  work  of  the  National 
Association  of  Book  Publishers.  Its  campaign 
for  Year-Round  Bookselling  brought  very  en- 
couraging results.  Its  work  was  planned  with 
such  thoroness  and  wisdom  that  everyone  clown 
to  the  most  skeptia-1  approved  its  methods 
and  was  benefited  by  the  outcome.  The  other 
striking  feature  due  largely  to  the  Associa- 
tion's campaign  was  the  unusually  large  num- 
ber of  ventures  in  bookselling.  More  shops 
were  opened  during  the  year  than  were  reported 
in  any  two  years  in  the  history  of  the  American 
book  trade  and  reports  show  that  most  of  them 
are  well  satisfied  with  the  first  results  and 
encouraged  with  the  prospects.  These  shops 
generally  followed  the  present  commendable 
trend  of  selecting  distinctive  names. 

Among  the  new  shops  recorded  during  the 
year  were  Aries  Book  Shop,  Buffalo ;  Artemesia 
Bookshop,  San  Diego;  Land  of  Story  Books, 
New  York;  Story  Book  Shop,  New  York; 
Frank  Coombs,  Bay  Shore,  N.  Y.;  Dixie 
Terminal  Bookshop,  Cincinnati;  Neighborhood

In  the  more  exciting  field  of  selling — that 
of  selling  by  caravan — the  house  of  Appleton 
tried  it  out  with  an  automobile  during  the  sum- 
mer on  Long  Island  with  its  many  vacation 
colonies,  and  met  with  very  considerable  suc- 
cess under  the  management  of  E.  J.  Clode,  Jr. 
The  caravan  of  the  Boys  &  Girls  Bookshop 
of  Boston  again  made  a  summer  tour  of  New 
England. 

Another  noteworthy  development  in  the  book- 
field  during  the  year  was  the  increased  pub- 
licity given  by  a  number  of  daily  papers  in 
the  large  cities  to  book  reviews  and  literary 
news  and  gossip,  to  keep  in  closer  touch  with 
the  greater  interest  of  the  public  in  books 
and  reading. 

The  death  list  of  1921  included  among  au- 
thors of  note  Frederick  Upham  Adams,  Austin 
Dobson.  H.  M.  Hyndman,  Dr.  Morris  Jastrow, 
Tr.,  Mrs.  Molesworth,  Edgar  Saltus,  Harriet 
Prescott  Spofford.  Florence  Barclav,  John  Bur- 
roughs, E.  W.  Hornunr.  T.  !G.  •  Huneker  and 
F.  C.  Phillips. 

Among  publishers  who  passed  from  the 
scene  were  George  Mifflin,  M.  D.  Berlitz,  and

American   Book  Production,   1921 


THE   American    book   production   statistics 
for  1921  based  on  the  number  of  books  re- 
corded by  the  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY  during 
that  year  show  a  decrease  of  but  93  in  com- 
parison with  the  figures  for  1920,  in  fact  the 
smallest  loss  since  1917  (1920,  172;  1919,  643; 
1918,  823;  1917,  385).    There  were  in  fact  137 
more  new  books  published  in  1921  than  in  1920, 
but  new  editions  decreased  by  78  and  352  fewer 
pamphlets  were  recorded. 

Books  by  American  authors  again  lost  as  well 
as  books  by  foreign  authors  manufactured  in 


America,  but  importations  have  increased  by 
356.  Thirteen  classes  show  gains  of  which  the 
most  marked  are :  Science,  161 ;  Geography  and 
Travel,  106;  Juveniles,  77,  and  Fine  Arts,  65. 
With  the  exception  of  Fiction  which  in  1919 
was  among  the  gaining  classes  (250),  the  in- 
creases are,  for  the  most  part,  along  the  same 
lines  as  last  year. 

In  addition  to  Fiction  which  shows  a  drop 
of  182,  the  other  heaviest  losses  are  Sociology 
and  History,  each  showing  a  decrease  of  137, 
and  Agriculture,  121.

Kent's  Commentaries,   4   vols 3.38  84,000 

"Next  to  Chancellor  Kent's  work  comes 
Greenleaf  on  Evidence,  3  vols.,  $16.50;  the  sale 
of  which  has  been  exceedingly  great,  but  what 
has  been  its  extent,  I  cannot  say. 

"Of  Blaitchford's  General  Statutes  of  New 
York,  a  local  work,  price  $4.50,  the  sale  has 
been  3,000;  equal  to  almost  30,000  of  a  similar 
work  for  the  United  Kingdom. 

"How  great  is  the  sale  of  Judge  Story's 
books  can  be  judged  only  from  the  fact  that 
the  copyright  now  yields,  and  for  years  past 
has  yielded,  more  than  $8,000  per  annum.  Of 
the  sale  of  Mr.  Prescott's  works  little  is  cer- 
tainly known,  but  it  cannot,  I  understand, 
have  been  less  than  160.000  volumes.  That  of 
Mr.  Bancroft's  History  has  already  risen,  cer- 


tainly, to  30,000  copies,  and  I  am  told  it  is 
considerably  more;  and  yet  even  that  is  a  sale, 
for  such  a  work,  entirely  unprecedented. 

"Of  the  works  of  Hawthorne,  Longfellow, 
Bryant,  Wiljis,  Curtis,  Sedgwick,  and  numer- 
ous others,  the  sale  is  exceedingly  great;  but, 
as  not  even  an  approximation  to  the  true 
amount  can  be  offered,  I  must  leave  it  to  you 
to  judge  of  it  by  comparison  with  those  of 
less  popular  authors  above  enumerated.  In 
several  of  these  cases,  beautifully  illustrated 
editions  have  been  published,  of  which  large 
numbers  have  been  sold.  Of  Mr.  Longfellow's 
volume  there  have  been  no  less  than  ten  edi- 
tions. These  various  facts  will  probably  suffice 
to  satisfy  you  that  this  country  presents  a 
market  for  books  of  almost  every  description 
unparalleled  in  the  world." 

For  a  population  that  had  but  recently  passed 
the  Mississippi,  this  showing  now  appears  re- 
markable. 


The  Year  Gone  By 


ALL  things  considered  the  book  business 
in    1921    appears    to   have    fared    better 
than  almost  any  other  line  of  merchan- 
dising, according  to  the  statisticians  and  the  stu- 
dents of  the  business  barometer  as  analysed  in 
the  monthly  surveys.   It  maintained  its  old  time 
reputation  of  being  the  last  to  feel  the  pinch 
of  hard  times   and  the  first  to  recover  when 
the   tide  has  a   favorable  turn. 

A  glance  at  the  records  of  the  year  shows 
but  few  business  failures  in  the  book-trade 
and  those  wholly  of  minor  importance.  Two 
of  the  specialty  publishing  houses  were  com- 
pelled to  ask  for  extensions  of  credit  but  both 
were  quietly  financed  with  satisfactory  results 
and  without  needless  publicity. 

One  of  the  two  outstanding  features  of  the 
development  of  trade  during  the  year  was  the 
splendid  fundamental  work  of  the  National 
Association  of  Book  Publisthers.  Its  campaign 
for  Year-Round  Bookselling  brought  very  en- 
couraging results.  Its  work  was  planned  with 
such  thoroness  and  wisdom  that  everyone  down 
to  the  most  skeptici-l  approved  its  methods 
and  was  benefited  by  the  outcome.  The  other 
striking  feature  due  largely  to  the  Associa- 
tion's campaign  was  the  unusually  large  num- 
ber of  ventures  in  bookselling.  More  shops 
were  opened  during  the  year  than  were  reported 
in  any  two  years  in  the  history  of  the  American 
book  trade  and  reports  show  that  most  of  them 
are  well  satisfied  with  the  first  results  and 
encouraged  with  the  prospects.  These  shops 
generally  followed  the  present  commendable 
trend  of  selecting  distinctive  names. 

Among  the  new  shops  recorded  during  the 
year  were  Aries  Book  Shop,  Buffalo ;  Artemesia 
Bookshop,  San  Diego;  Land  of  Story  Books, 
New  York ;  Story '  Book  Shop,  New  York ; 
Frank  Coombs,  Bay  Shore,  N.  Y.;  Dixie 
Terminal  Bookshop,  Cincinnati;  Neighborhood 
Bookshop,  New  York;  Miss  Kitty's  Bookshop, 
New  York;  Alexander  Hamilton  Bookshop, 


Paterson,  N.  J. ;  F.  M.  Behymer,  St.  Louis; 
M.  E.  Blatt  Department  Store,  Atlantic  City; 
Blue  Book  Room,  Seattle ;  Book  and  Art  Shop, 
South  Haven,  Mich.,  Brick  Row  Book  Shop, 
Princeton ;  Lloyd  E.  Buchman,  Allentown,  Pa. ; 
Campion  Bookshop,  Toledo;  Louis  H.  Cou- 
lomb, Philadelphia ;  Douglas  Bookshop,  De- 
troit; Elizabeth  Book  Company,  Elizabeth, 
N.  J. ;  H.  V.  Jackson,  San  Jose,  Calif. ;  Lo- 
cust Street  Bookshop,  Philadelphia;  London 
Bookshop,  New  York;  Hector  McQuarrie, 
I  Tew  York;  Paul  Morphy  Bookshop,  New  Or- 
leans; City  Book  Shop,  Atlantic  City;  Ritz- 
Carlton  Bookshop,  Atlantic  City;  Silberman- 
Sayers  Book  and  Art  Shop,  Chicago;  Studio 
Bookshop,  Chicago;  Studio  Book  Shop,  Mi- 
ami, Fla. ;  and  Miss  White's  Book  Shop,  Mt. 
Vernon,  N.  Y. 

In  the  more  exciting  field  of  selling — that 
of  selling  by  caravan — the  house  of  Appleton 
tried  it  out  with  an  automobile  during  the  sum- 
mer on  Long  Island  with  its  many  vacation 
colonies,  and  met  with  very  considerable  suc- 
cess under  the  management  of  E.  J.  Clode,  Jr. 
The  caravan  of  the  Boys  &  Girls  Bookshop 
of  Boston  again  made  a  summer  tour  of  New 
England. 

Another  noteworthy  development  in  the  book- 
field  during  the  year  was  the  increased  pub- 
licity given  by  a  number  of  daily  papers  in 
the  large  cities  to  book  reviews  and  literary 
news  and  gossip,  to  keep  in  closer  touch  with 
the  greater  interest  of  the  public  in  books 
and  reading. 

The  death  list  of  1921  included  among  au- 
thors of  note  Frederick  Upham  Adams,  Austin 
Dobson.  H.  M.  Hyndman,  Dr.  Morris  jastrow,

Prescott  Spofford.  Florence  Barclav.  John  Bur- 
roughs, E.  W.  Hornunr  ]".  G.  •  Huneker  and

American  Book  Production,   1921 


THE   American    book   production    statistics 
for  1921  based  on  the  number  of  books  re- 
corded by  the  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY  during 
that  year  show  a  decrease  of  but  93  in  com- 
parison with  the  figures  for  1920,  in  fact  the 
smallest  loss  since  1917  (1920,  172;  1919,  643; 
1918,  823;  1917,  385).    There  were  in  fact  137 
more  new  books  published  in  1921  than  in  1920, 
but  new  editions  decreased  by  78  and  352  fewer 
pamphlets  were  recorded. 

Books  by  American  authors  again  lost  as  well 
as  books  by  foreign  authors  manufactured  in 


America,  but  importations  have  increased  by 
356.  Thirteen  classes  show  gains  of  which  the 
most  marked  are :  Science,  161 ;  Geography  and 
Travel,  106;  Juveniles,  77,  and  Fine  Arts,  65. 
With  the  exception  of  Fiction  which  in  1919 
was  among  the  gaining  classes  (250),  the  in- 
creases are,  for  the  most  part,  along  the  same 
lines  as  last  year. 

In  addition  to  Fiction  which  shows  a  drop 
of  182,  the  other  heaviest  losses  are  Sociology 
and  History,  each  showing  a  decrease  of  137, 
and  Agriculture,  121.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Classified  Analysis  of  Books  Published  During 
1921  in  Great  Britain 


rriHE  Polishers'  Circular  and  Booksellers' 
i    Record  records  a  total  of  11,026  books  as 
having  been  published  in  the  United  King- 
dom during   1921.     This  is  an   increase  of  22 
over  the  total  for  1920. 

An  examination  of  the  table  showing  the 
number  of  books  published  each  month  shows 
that  the  spring  and  autumn  publishing  seasons 


were  not  so  marked  as  formerly  except  for  a 
drop  during  the  holiday  season,  and  a  slight 
rise  in  the  autumn,  the  figures  show  a  fairly 
constant  level  maintained  thruout  the  year. 
This  is  interesting  in  view  of  the  efforts  that 
have  been  made  to  keep  book-buying  active  in 
every  month  of  the  year,  by  means  of  such 
ideas  as  the  "Buy  a  book  a  week"  campaign.

(-J-54),  Business  (+44),  Military  and  NavaJ

ciology and  History  (  —  47  each)  and  Geog- 
raphy (—32). 

The  following  totals  for  the  last  ten  years

It  is  interesting  to  compare  the  order  in 
which  the  classified  totals  appear  this  year  and 
in  the  last  pre-war  year,  because  these  totals 
furnish  a  rough  indication  of  the  attention  be- 
stowed upon  them  by  the  reading  public.

International  Statistics  of  Book  and  Periodical 

Production 

Condensed  from  Data  Compiled  by  Le  Droit  D'Auteur 


THE  annual  statistical  study  of  book  pro- 
duction published  in  the  December  15 
issue  of  Le  Droit  d'Auteur  is  much  more 
extended  this  year  than  usual,  covering  20 
countries  and  including  new  information  from 
Latin-America,  Belgium,  Russia,  Sweden  and 
Czecho-Slovakia.  In  its  much  abbreviated  in- 
troductory comment,  the  article  points  out 
that  the  characteristics  of  igig's  book  produc- 
tion, a  period  of  transition  wherein  because 
of  the  troublous  times  an  enormous  number 
of  unpublished  -works  was  produced,  were  ap- 
parent in  1920 :  that  a  relatively  large  number 
of  the  works  produced  the  year  ebfore  were  ap- 
lished,  since  with  the  exception  of  Denmark, 
Spain,  the  United  States  and  Switzerland  every 
country  showed  an  increase  in  1920  over 
1919;  but  that  this  prosperity  was  deceptive, 
for  editions  were  smaller  on  account  of  exorb- 
itant cost  of  production,  that  there  were  in 
general  fewer  scientific  and  serious  works  pub- 
lished, that  the  sale  of  expensive  books  had 
decreased  and  that  the  periodical  press  was 
still  unstable. 

The  figures  given  by  Le  Droit  d'Auteur  are 
for  the  most  part  for  1920.  Statistical  tables 
for  the  year  1921  for  the  United  States  and 
Great  Britain  are  printed  elsewhere  in  this 
issue.  Owing  to  the  extent  of  the  article,  com- 
ment has  been  greatly  abbreviated  and  the  fig- 
ures left  to  speak  for  themselves. 
BELGIUM 

The  last  statistics  for  this  country  were  for 
1912.  The  following  table  is  from  Niewsblad 
voor  den  Boekhandel  for  January  25,  1921, 
published  at  Amsterdam :

The  Belgian  Author's  Association  received 
a  subsidy  of  1000  fr.  which  the  following 
year  was  increased  to  3000  fr.  For  the  distri- 
bution of  prizes  it  received  30,000  fr.  and  in 
1920  it  was  allowed  i.rsoo  fr.  for  the  pur- 
chase of  books  for  reading  rooms. 

CZECHOSLOVAKIA 

Up  to  this  time  Czecho-Slovakian  biblio- 
graphical information  has  been  entirely  lack- 
ing, but  since  1920  the  Zemedelske  Knihku- 
pectvi  has  published  a  monthly  review.  Nasi

Translations  which  had  gained  for  several 
years  (1916,  172;  1917,  199;  1918,  358;  1919, 
450:  1920,  151),  lost  ground.  The  greatest 
number  were  from  English  (1918,  358,  1919, 
450;  1920,  151).  Those  from  German  fol- 
lowed (47,  53,  36).  then  from  French  (45,

There  were  increases  in  all  classes.  Among 
the  books  printed  in  foreign  languages  which 
lost  by  68,  the  most  numerous  were  those  in 
Spanish  which  increased  from  28  to  36.  Books 
in  English  lost  about  two-tiidrds  (90  in  1919; 
31,  1920)  ;  next  were  books  in  Portuguese 
(26);  in  French  dialects  (20),  and  in  Anna- 
mese  (8). 

GERMANY 

BOOK   PRODUCTION 

Book  production  which  began  to  increase  in 
1919  after  several  years  of  depression  again 
increased  in  1920  reaching  the  figures  32,345, 
which  approach  the  prosperity  of  the  years 
before  the  war.  The  figures  for  the  past  de- 
cade are:

The  statistics  in  the  following  classified  table 
are  taken  as  in  the  past  from  the  semi-annual

sellers. Only  three  classes  show  losses :  Mili-

Total    26,194       32,345 

The  32,345  publications  include  10,078  new 
books  (1918,  10,  417;  1919,  15,876);  8715  new 
editions  (1918,  4326;  1919,  6432)  plus  4552 
reviews  (1919,  3886). 

According  to  an  article  by  M.  Sdegismund  in 
Papier  Zeitung  the  new  books  are  almost  all 
published  in  small  editions.  This  would  ex- 
plain somewhat  why  publishers  complained  of 
depression  in  business  while  the  number  of 
new  books  which  reached  in  1920  the  enorm- 
ous figure  of  19,078,  was  as  great  as  pre-war 
totals.  The  actual  prices  were  regulated  by 
the  cost  of  manufacture  which  increased  ex- 
orbitantly. Paper  sold  at  from  15  to  20  times 
more  than  before  the  war.  Printing  costs 
increased  ten  fold  and  binding  more.  The 
result  was  that  even  a  large  edition  could  not 
bring  about  a  reduction  in  price  sufficient  to 
encourage  sale  among  those  to  whom  the  work 
was  not  indispensable  The  increased  manu- 
fecturing  cost  was  especially  fatal  for  the 
scientific  bookseller  so  that  universities  and 
students  whose  means  are  slender,  found  it 
difficult  to  get  new  books.  In  Austria  the 
libraries  were  obliged  to  ask  outside  libraries 
to  lend  them  books

above.  These  figures  include  1924  new  books, 
1021  new  editions,  771  newspapers  and  349 
translations.  The  striking  feature  is  the  de- 
crease in  tine  number  of  new  books  from  2501 
(1916).  The  Niewsblad  attributes  this  to  the 
increased  cost  of  manufacture,  as  illustrated

number  of  books  after  those  which  are  made

They  are  for  the  most  part  small  society  or-

RUSSIA 

The  book-trade  in  Russia  has  been  so  dis- 
turbed that  for  two  years  it  has  been  difficult 
to  procure  Russian  books.  In  Soviet  Russia 
the  deposits  of  former  publishing  houses  have 
long  since  been  exhausted.  Publications  are 
very  few  and  book  exportation,  reduced  to 
zero.  Russian  emigrants  have  formed  centers 
in  almost  every  quarter  of  the  globe  and  have 
founded  newspapers  the  greater  part  of  which 
have  ceased  to  appear.  As  the  emigrants  can 
not  do  without  books,  publishing  houses  estab- 
lished in  these  centers  have  assumed  the  task 
of  furnishing  classic  Russian  works,  belles- 
lettres  as  well  as  the  practical  books,  text- 
books, and  juveniles  needed.  These  publishing 
houses  are  situated  at  Prague,  Stockholm, 
Sofia,  Paris  and  Constantinople.  The  principal 
center  of  Russian  book  production,  however, 
is  at  Berlin  where  there  is  a  large  number  of 
Russian  publishers  and  booksellers.  The  sta- 
tistics for  1920-21  which  follow  are  from 
Russkaja  Kniqa,  a  monthly  review  published 
at  Berlin  by  the  house  of  Heinrich  Sachs :

The  review  also  gives  the  first  attempt  at 
estimating  the  book  production  of  Bolshevik 
Russia  and  arrives  at  the  naturally  incomplete 
figure  of  369  titles.  Whatever  the  turn  of 
events  in  Russia,  it  is  certain  that  for  a  long 
time  hence  lovers  of  Russian  literature  will  be 
obliged  to  seek  it  outside  of  Russia.

This    enormous    total    which    surpasses    all 
countries  in  the  world  with  the  exception  of 
Japan  is  explained  by  the  fact  that  not  only 
books   but  also  pamphlets  and  leaflets   arr  in 
eluded.     Under  these  conditions  a  comparison 
wiith    .the    production    ol    other    countries    i 
valueless    especially    when    it   is    recalled    that 
the  literary  production  of  Sweden  in  1904,  tt

was  only   1474-

Growth  of  Phonograph  Sales 

THE     growth     that      has     taken     place     in 
the  field  of   phonographs   and  phonograph 
records  has  been  interestingly  charted  in  a  re- 
port  published  recently  by  the   National    Re- 
tail   Dry    Goods    Association,    which   estimates 


that  6,000,000  phonographs  have  been  sold  in 
the  United  States,  and  there  are  probable  sales 
of  1,500,000  machines  and  100,000,000  records 
for  1922. 

This  would  make  the  output  of  musical  rec- 
ords almost  on  a  par  with  common  estimates 
that  are  made  as  to  the  total  output  of  books, 
including  textbooks  and  subscription  sets. 

The  report  points  out  that  two-thirds  of  the 
phonographs  are  sold  on  instalment  payments, 
with  perhaps  I  per  cent  of  failures  to  complete 
payments.  The  stores  that  reported  on  their 
expense  accounts  show  that  there  was  an  aver- 
age cost  of  selling  in  these  departments  of 
30.63%.  The  average  margin  of  gross  profit 
in  these  departments  is  40  per  cent.  Of  the 
stores  from  whom  specific  data  was  collected, 
most  phonograph  departments  were  on  the  third 
or  fourth  floor. 


Drop  in  Magazine  Advertising 

AS  the  largest  users  of  book  paper  are  the 
magazines,  the  decrease  in  their  size  ow- 
ing to  a   falling  off   in  advertising  has 
been  one  of  the  important  elements  affecting  the 
paper  market. 

According  to  the  tables  compiled  by  Printer's 
Ink  the  total  January  advertising  in  61  leading 
magazines  and  weeklies  was : 

1919     1,092,975  lines 

1920     1,806,652  lines 

1921      1,541,589  lines 

1922      i, 111,600  lines

Titles  That  Came  to  the  Front 


Best  Sellers  in  the  Bookstores 

THE  following  titles,  arranged  in  order  of 
their  popularity,  have  been  leading  best 
sellers  during  1921  according  to  the  rec- 
ords published  in  Books  of  the  Month.  The 
statistics  are  based  on  reports  of  booksellers 
in  all  parts  of  the  country.  One  significant 
point  to  bear  in  mind,  in  connection  with  any 
such  list,  however,  is  that  the  books  issued  in 
the  spring  or  previous  fall  invariably  have  an 
advantage,  since  they  have  been  on  sale  for 
a  longer  period  and  have  had  a  better  oppor- 
tunity to  break  into  the  Best  Seller  Class.

Best  Short  Stories  of  1921 

TTHE  twenty  short  stories  of  the  year  chosen 
1  by  Edward  J.  O'Brien  for  publication  in 
"The  Best  Short  Stories  of  1921"  (the  seventh 
volume  in  his  series)  were  selected  because 
they  "have  rendered  life  imaginatively  in  or- 
ganic substance  and  artistic  form."  What  in- 
terested Mr.  O'Brien  especially  in  making  his 
survey  for  the  year  was  the  fresh  live  current 
flowing  thru  the  best  American  work  of  the 
present  and  the  imaginative  reality  which  Amer- 
ican writers  have  brought  to  it. 

In  past  years  the  annual  anthology  has  been 
dedicated  to  the  American  author  who  in  Mr. 
O'Brien's  opinion  made  the  finest  contribution 
to  the  short  story  field  during  the  period  con- 
sidered. This  year  the  honor  again  fell  to  Sher- 
wood Anderson,  but  since  the  volume  for  1920 
is  associated  with  his  name,  the  new  offering  is 
inscribed  to  A.  E.  Coppard,  a  distinguished 
English  writer  who  has  won  the  compiler's  ad- 
miration. 

An  appended  list  in  the  Yearbook  of  the 
American  Short  Story  shows  that  80  volumes 
of  short  stories  by  American  authors  have  been 
published  in  the  United  States  during  the  past

Literature  Abroad 

By  Ernest  Boyd 


The  following  very  interesting  summary  of  the 
year's  literary  output  abroad  appeared  in  the  New 
York  Evening  Post  Literary  Review,  December  31, 
1921. 

THE  close  of  the  year  naturally  invites 
meditation,  melancholy  or  otherwise,  upon 
the  literary  production  of  the  past  twelve 
months.  In  the  various  places  where  books 
are  discussed  I  have  noticed  lists  in  which 
cheerful  scribes  have  brought  together  the 
volumes  which  seem,  in  retrospect,  to  have  best 
justified  their  existence  during  the  year  of 
grace  now  ended.  What  has  struck  me  most 
about  these  lists  has  been  the  small  place  al- 
lotted by  most  of  them  to  American  works, 
Out  of  any  given  dozen  ten  books  at  least 
are  importations.  Curiously,  my  own  impres- 
sion of  the  year's  foreign  literature  is  that,  on 
the  whole,  very  little  of  outstanding  merit  has 
come  to  my  notice  and  that  the  real  creative 
vitality  has  been  on  this  side  of  the  Atlantic. 
Technical  competence  is  still  with  the  Euro- 
peans, but  they  have  nothing  to  say.  Over 
here,  on  the  other  hand,  the  impulse  towards 
self-expression  and  original  creation  is  power- 
ful, if  rather  undisciplined  and  naive.  How- 
ever, as  I  have  had  many  requests  for  reading 
lists  of  contemporary  European  literature,  I 
purpose  to  recapitulate  the  books  of  1921  which 
seem  best  to  answer  that  need.  I  am  taking 
in  alphabetical  order,  the  countries  with  which 
this  department  has  been  more  particularly  con- 
cerned.

By   Way  of  Comment 

These  lists,  needless  to  say,  do  not  purport  to 
give  the  year's  best  sellers,  and  they  are  ob- 
viously not  exhaustive.  The  works  mentioned 
simply  represent  some  of  the  more  important 
publications  of  the  year,  with  special  reference 
to  those  which  have  been  discussed  in  this  col- 
umn or  elsewhere  in  The  Literary  Review.  I 
have  not  recalled  the  inevitable  volumes  by 
German  generals  proving  that  the  army  won 
the  war  but  the  civilians  lost  it;  nor  the  annual 
contributions  of  MM.  Bourget,  Loti,  Bordeaux, 
and  company  to  the  railroad  bookstalls  of 
France ;  nor  the  vast  literature  inspired  by  the 
belief  that  the  millennium  has  dawned  in  Mos- 
cow. These  bibliographies  are  primarily  con- 
cerned with  works  of  pure  literature  and  they 
give,  I  think,  a  fair  idea  of  what  each  of  the 
countries  mentioned  has  produced  during  the 
past  twelve  months.

A  Year's  Library  Progress 


IN  making  a  condensed  report  on  the  1921 
activities  of  the  American  Library  Associa- 
tion Carl  H.  Milam,  secretary,  points  to  a  net 
gain  in  membership  of  843,  bringing  the  total 
to  5,307.  He  estimates  that  the  number  of  library 
workers  in  the  United  States  and  Canada  who 
are  not  members  of  the  Association  is  some- 
where between  ten  and  twenty  thousand. 

The  Headquarters  at  Chicago  has  provided 
an  employment  service  for  many  of  the  mem- 
bers, has  conducted  a  campaign  for  recruiting 
for  librarianship,  has  maintained  extensive  cor- 
respondence in  helping  communities  erect  the 
best  possible  buildings  and  is  in  daily  touch 
with  communities  desiring  to  establish  libraries. 

The  Library  War  Service  has  even  now  not 
come  to  complete  termination.  Recently  $1,000 
was  authorized  for  books  at  Coblenz.  The 
work  of  the  merchant  marine  was  transferred 
in  August  to  the  American  Merchant  Marine 


Library  Association.  A  continuing  connection 
with  the  new  American  Library  in  Paris  "*^"t 
that  the  librarian  will  always  be  nominated  by 
the  A.  L.  A,  and  five  trustees  appointed.  Moft 
of  the  war  hospital  service  has  now  gone  to  the 
government. 

The  publication  department  shows  43  new 
publications,  including  the  valuable  pamphlets 
which  have  done  much  to  interest  the  public  in 
wider  reading  and  pamphlets,  such  as  "View- 
points in  Biography,"  "Children's  Books  for 
Christmas  Presents,"  "Plays  for  Children,"  etc. 
Some  of  these  publications  are  intended  pri- 
marily for  distribution  to  the  public  and  many 
bookstores  have  availed  themselves  of  this  op- 
portunity. 

Some  of  these,  including  posters  and  ex- 
hibits, were  made  possible  by  the  Books  for 
Everybody  Fund  to  which  publishers,  among 
others,  made  contribution.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


The  Year's  Activity  of  the  Publishers' 
Association 

Annual  Report  of  the  Executive  Secretary,  Frederic  G.  Melcher 


THE  Executive  Committee  of  six,  in  whose 
hands,  guided  by  the  bi-monthly  delibera- 
tions of  the  Board  of  Directors,  lie  the  re- 
sponsibility for  carrying  on  the  purposes  of  this 
Association,  have  held  continuous  weekly 
meetings  on  Tuesdays  since  the  last  annual 
meeting.  The  President  has  visited  the  office 
daily  for  conference  and  suggestion.  With 
the  enlargement  of  the  quarters  there  has 
come  greater  use  of  the  rooms.  The  confer- 
ence room  being  made  available  for  such 
outside  groups  as  the  Publishers  Ad  Club  and 
The  Credit  Conference,  as  well  as  for  meet- 
ings of  the  Religious  Publishing  group. 
Medical  Publishers  and  Educational  Pub- 
lishers and  Year-Round  Bookselling  Cam- 
paigns. The  new  rooms  double  the  floor 
space,  provide  a  conference  room  that  will 
hold  up  to  forty  people,  a  smaller  committee 
room  and  two  offices.  The  slight  increase  in 
rent  is  being  borne  by  the  Bookselling  Cam- 
paign, whose  staff  of  three  is  thus  given 
quarters. 

The  publishers  of  Religious  Books  came 
together  last  winter  to  promote  a  very  suc- 
cessful campaign  for  a  wider  interest  in  re- 
ligious books  and  have  organized  again  this 
winter  for  even  more  intensive  work.  The 
Medical  publishers  met  on  December  i6th  to 
•consider  the  value  of  special  group  gather- 
ings and  on  January  4th  the  Educational 
publishers  came  together  in  the  same  way. 

In  October  the  American  Publishers  Copy- 
right League,  with  its  long  record  of  con- 
structive activity,  voted  to  become  an  in- 
tegral part  of  the  Association,  and  this  work 
was  organized  as  the  Bureau  of  Copyright 
of  the  National  Association  of  Book  Pub- 
lishers with  a  special  committee  of  five  in 
charge  of  its  work.  W.  W.  Appleton  as  chair- 
man and  George  Haven  Putnam  as  Secre- 
tary. This  Bureau  is  of  very  special  import- 
ance to  members  during  the  present  dis- 
cussion on  the  new  Copyright  bill  and  when 
the  new  law  is  passed  and  begins  to  apply 
to  current  business. 

Manufacturing  Problems 
The  fundamental  problems  of  book  manu- 
facture and  distribution,  which  affect  all 
publishers  alike  have  occupied  the  larger 
part  of  the  time  of  the  Executive  Committee 
and  the  office  staff  of  three.  Printing  emer- 


gencies, binding  crises,  electrotyping  and 
photo-engraving  costs,  freight  rates,  travel- 
ing and  hotel  expense,  mail  regulations,  have 
been  urgent  problems ;  the  most  threatening 
tariff  issue  the  American  book-trade  ever 
faced;  a  straining  of  good  copyright  rela- 
tions with  Canada,  an  all  important  project 
of  revision  of  the  fundamental  copyright  law 
of  the  United  States  have  fallen  to  1921. 

The  year  came  in  with  unfavorable  con- 
ditions. In  spite  of  the  pressing  need  of 
lowered  manufacturing  costs,  there  were  in- 
creases at  many  points.  The  December  1920 
decision  of  the  New  York  arbitrators  had 
just  increased  printing  wages  $2.50  to  $5.00 
per  week.  The  44  hour  week  was  demanded 
for  May  1st.  In  the  spring  the  Association 
joined  in  the  effort  which  brought  $4.00  to 
$5.00  decreases  in  one  group  of  unions  in 
April.  The  even  more  pressing  need  of  re- 
lief in  compositors'  wages  in  the  fall  was  not 
however  obtained.  The  44  hour  issue  which 
came  to  a  head  in  May  ultimately  brought 
open  shops  in  Binghamton,  Boston  and 
Philadelphia,  but  only  increased  costs  in  New 
York.  In  January  last  all  bindery  workers 
an  New  York  demanded  wage  increases  cor- 
responding to  those  granted  to  the  printers, 
but  the  Association  insisted  that  no  increases 
could  be  absorbed  by  the  book-trade  and  the 
employers  stood  fast  in  refusal.  On  May  ist, 
after  considerable  conference  with  the  unions 
to  obtain  better  conditions  the  Employing 
Binders  broke  with  the  unions  and  after  two 
months  effort  got  satisfactory  production  in 
•an  open  shop.  These  various  crucial  situa- 
tions demanded  continuous  consideration 
from  the  Executive  Committee. 

Photo-Engraving  Costs 
The  first  of  the  year  had  brought  also  an 
$11.00  increase  in  the  wages  of  electrotypers 
with  44  hour  week  and  a  $6.00  increase 
among  photo-engravers.  No  relief  has  yet 
been  found  in  these  fields,  tho  better  rates  in 
photo-engraving  have  been  obtained  thru  the 
Meyer-Martin  bill,  passed  in  the  New  York 
legislature  in  May,  making  it  illegal  for  the 
Unions  to  set  the  price  at  which  engraved 
plates  should  be  sold.  This  important  bill 
was  backed  at  Albany  by  newspapers, 
periodicals  and  book  publishers  thru  their 
several  associations. 


January  28,  1922 


Another  important  action  at  Albany  in 
which  this  Association  was  interested  was 
the  revision  of  the  Civil  Rights  Act  so  as  to 
prevent  publishers  being  held  liable  for  re- 
printing photographs  and  illustrations  that 
they  had  bought  in  connection  with  the  plates 
of  some  book  or  set.  This  relief  was  largely 
due  to  David  S.  Beasley  of  the  University 
Society. 

In  the  Committee's  investigations  into 
manufacturing  costs,  the  possibilities  of 
stereotyping  has  been  studied  as  a  substitute 
for  the  increasingly  expensive  electrotypes 
but,  so  far,  not  many  American  pressmen 
seem  to  get  the  results  from  these  that  the 
English  do. 

With  wages  increasing  or  at  best  stationary 
in  the  trades  that  touch  book  manufacturing, 
the  saving  relief  that  has  prevented  further 
rise  in  retail  selling  prices,  has  been  the  drop 
in  the  cost  of  materials.  Book  paper  which 
had  been  4C.  to  5c.  before  the  war  and  had 
risen  to  I3C.  to  I5c.,  fell  by  January  below 
IDC.  and  by  summer  to  7  or  8c.  Binding  cloth 
came  down  20  per  cent  January  isth,  and  had 
further  reduction,  tho  still  about  80  per  cent 
higher  than  a  few  years  ago. 

Freight  Rate  Hearings 

The  fundamental  costs  of  freight  and  trans- 
portation was  early  considered  tho  the 
strained  conditions  of  railroad  finances  made 
it  difficult  to  find  a  line  of  progress.  In 
July  a  hearing  was  obtained  before  the  freight 
classification  committee  and  as  a  result  of 
this,  carload  shipments  to  the  South  were  put 
on  the  same  basis  as  the  rates  to  other  sec- 
tions. This  change  will  mean  thousands  of 
dollars  a  year  to  the  educational  publishers 
who  would  be  the  only  ones  to  ship  in  car- 
load lots.  A  further  application  to  obtain 
better  classification  for  'Less  Than  Carload 
Lots  to  all  parts  of  the  country  was  finally  re- 
fused by  the  Federal  Commission,  but  it  is 
felt  that  this  may  yet  be  successfully  reopened 
by  placing  the  emphasis  on  educational  books. 
Such  hearings  could  only  have  been  obtained 
by  publishers  acting  as  an  organization.  It 
was  found  that  excessive  demands  for  freight 
losses  set  up  against  railroads  by  certain  dis- 
tributors of  subscription  sets,  had  created  a 
strong  prejudice  in  the  minds  of  the  Federal 
Commission. 

Co-operating  with  several  other  national 
organizations,  there  has  been  an  effort  to  get 
some  reduction  in  the  cost  of  railroad  travel. 
The  abolition  of  tax  on  railroad  fares  on 
January  ist  has  been  part  of  the  effort.  It  is 
hoped  that  provision  may  soon  be  made  for 
a  5000  mile  book  at  2-J^c.  which  would  be 


of   great   advantage    in   keeping  men   in   the 
field. 

During  the  fall  a  strong  drive  was  made  to 
obtain  lower  hotel  rates  for  the  travelers 
representing  our  members.  Several  good 
hotels  agreed,  but  not  enough  to  make  rt 
feasible  to  outline  a  detailed  plan.  It  is  be- 
lieved, however,  that  the  agitation  did  some 
good  and  echoes  of  our  effort  were  seen  in 
the  hotel  men's  trade  papers.  Costs  of  book 
packing  were  investigated  and  a  pamphlet 
of  recommendations  sent  to  members.  With 
the  incoming  of  a  new  Postmaster  General 
it  seemed  an  opportune  time  to  strike  for  re- 
lief from  the  P.  O.  ruling  that  book  prices 
could  not  be  printed  in  book  reviews  with- 
out their  becoming  advertising  and  on 
May  25,  Mr.  Hays  sent  out  cancellation  of 
the  aggravating  order. 

Tariff  and  Copyright 

In  two  directions  the  publishing  world  has 
been  facing  problems  such  as  come  to  real 
'issue  but  once  in  many  years  and  both  of 
these  carry  over  for  .final  decision  in  1922: 
tariff  and  copyright  revisions.  Wheif  the  text 
of  the  Fordney  Bill  was  published  in  July  it 
was  found  that  the  book  schedules  showed 
changes  that  would  rock  the  established  cus- 
toms of  the  book  business  to  their  founda- 
tions. Publishing  would  be  chiefly  affected 
by  the  American  Valuation  clause  which  it 
has  been  estimated,  would  triple  the  actual 
amount  of  the  duty  paid  on  editions  im- 
ported. Mr.  John  Macrae,  vice  president  of 
the  E.  P.  Dutton  &  Company  was  appointed 
by  the  Association  to  watch  publishing  inter- 
ests and  immediate  steps  were  taken  to  lay 
the  case  of  the  book  publishers  before  the 
Ways  and  Means  Committee,  of  the  House 
and  before  influential  senators.  When  the 
new  Senate  finally  began  hearings,  the  Asso- 
ciation had  its  plea  in  shape.  In  the  mean 
time  much  discussion  was  started  in  news- 
papers whose  columns  help  to  form  .public 
opinion.  Mr.  Macrae  has  been  also  forcing 
attention  to  the  present  condition  whereby 
book  tariff  is  doubled  at  the  custom  house 
thru  a  ruling  that  1/3  of  the  English  list 
price  must  be  the  basis  for  levying  all  duties. 
The  printers  and  binders  have  appeared  at 
Washington  asking  for  a  50%  duty  in  place 
of  the  suggested  20%.  The  Fordney  clause*, 
taking  from  the  free  list,  old  books,  books 
in  foreign  languages,  books  for  the  blind, 
etc.,  has  been  protested  against  as  being  a 
severe  blow  to  the  educational  needs  of  the 
country,  to  the  retail  book-trade  and  as 
against  all  American  precedent. 

New  Copyright  Bill  Ready 
After   many  years   of   firm  opposition  the 


2O6 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


International  Typographical  Union  gave  its 
concurrence  in  July  to  the  plan  to  revise  the 
Copyright  Law  of  the  United  States  so  as  to 
omit  the  manufacturing  clause.  As  soon  as 
this  was  assured,  consultations  toward  per- 
fecting a  proper  bill  have  gone  forward.  The 
result,  which  is  about  to  be  presented  to 
Congress,  is  satisfactory  to  the  Authors' 
League,  represented  by  Eric  Schuler,  the  Bu- 
reau of  Copyright  of  this  Association,  repre- 
sented by  Ivlajor  Putnam  and  Stephen  H. 
Olin;  to  R.  R.  Bowker,  as  independent 
authority  on  copyright  and  member  of  this 
Association;  Theodore  Solberg,  the  Registrar 
of  Copyright.  While  this  discussion  has 
been  going  forward,  the  American  Publishers 
Copyright  League  voted  to  become  connected 
with  this  Association  under  the  name  of  the 
Bureau  of  Copyright  of  the  N.  A.  B.  P., 
thereby  becoming  the  representative  of  all 
this  Associations'  Members  and  of  eighteen 
other  firms  not  thus  connected  and  paying 
special  dues.  This  Bureau  has  steadily 
advocated  dropping  the  manufacturing  clause 
but  has  pointed  out  that  a  new  copyright  law 
ought  to  adequately  protect  American  pub- 
lishers in  the  full  American  rights  to  such 
foreign  books  as  are  contracted  for.  Under 
the  present  law  practically  anyone  except  the 
American  publisher  can  bring  in  the  rival 
foreign  edition.  The  American  libraries  have 
strongly  protested  and  will  protest  actively 
at  the  Congressional  hearings  which  are  to 
come,  against  any  phrase  in  the  law  that 
will  curtail  their  right  to  import  all  books 
without  reference  to  the  American  owner 
of  copyright. 

Canadian   Copyright 

Canadian  copyright  revisions  have  offered 
as  much  food  for  thought.  Their  printers 
pushed  thru  parliament  a  bill  which  would 
make  Canadian  manufacture  necessary  for 
full  protection  of  rights  there.  Both  Cana- 
dian and  American  authors  would  suffer 
from  this  law  as  well  as  all  our  members. 
A  phrase  in  the  law  holds  it  up  until  pro- 
claimed by  the  Premier  and  it  is  still  wait- 
ing and  threatening. 

The  office  has  found  many  opportunities 
during  the  year  to  enter  into  or  to  help 
supply  book  discussion  to  the  papers  and  to 
see  that  the  papers  had  accurate  information 
on  publishing  conditions.  There  have  also 
been  several  occasions  where  the  Secretary 
could  present  the  subject  of  book  distribu- 
tion before  various  audiences.  In  March  last 
your  Secretary  visited  Toronto  on  the  invita- 
tion of  the  Canadian  publishers  and  spoke 
on  new  methods  in  promoting  book  sales. 
In  May  before  the  Booksellers  Convention; 


in  June  before  the  annual  convention  of  the 
American  Library  Association;  in  July  at 
Chautauqua ;  in  the  fall  in  several  conven- 
tions of  the  Middle  West. 

The  office  files  of  addresses,  book-trade 
statistics,  copyright  data,  etc.,  are  becoming 
increasingly  complete  and  valuable  and  in- 
quiries of  all  kinds  are  sent  in ;  when  infor- 
mation is  not  on  hand  and  falls  within  the 
Association's  province  the  facts  are  gathered. 

Co-operative  buying  of  supplies  has  been 
tested  out  and  proved  of  a  great  saving  to 
those  using  it.  Recently  the  Executive 
Committee  decided  that  the  Association 
would  do  well  to  work  in  conjunction  with 
other  business  men,  desiring  to  see  govern- 
ment economy,  in  support  of  the  budget  sys- 
tem and  gave  a  group  subscription  of  $100, 
whereas  individual  subscription  would  have 
been  $25  per  firm. 

For  the  Committee  on  New  Outlets  the 
office  has  prepared  a  pamphlet  on  "Opening 
a  Book  Department,"  one  on  "The  Successful 
Bookshop"  and  material  on  "Starting  a 
Circulating  Library."  Many  letters  on  book- 
selling problems  are  answered,  advice  given 
and  special  interviews  arranged.  A  canvass 
on  the  question  of  which  cities  need  new 
bookshops  has  just  been  made  .  It  has  been 
a  banner  year  in  the  increasing  of  new  book- 
shops and  most  of  them  have  been  in  touch 
with  the  office  in  one  way  or  another. 

Bookselling  Campaigns 

While  the  Executive  Committee  is  largely 
occupied  with  matters  of  general  importance 
to  all  publishers  it  has  also  encouraged  the 
organizing  of  campaigns  for  the  sale  of  more 
books  and  the  Year-Round  Bookselling  Cam- 
paign seems  to  have  successfully  met  the 
problem  of  increasing  the  aggressiveness  of 
the  trade  and  must  take  some  of  the  credit 
for  the  good  showing  the  publishing  business 
has  shown  in  1921  as  compared  to  so  many 
industries.  This  campaign  was  supported  by 
nearly  all  the  publishers  of  the  trade  books 
and  carried  its  own  overhead  and  material 
expense.  Its  success  has  warranted  a  much 
increased  appropriation  for  1922. 

No  wholly  complete  survey  of  the  year's 
activities  could  be  contained  in  one  report 
but  so  many  trade  problems  have  come  up 
which  could  only  be  adequately  handled  by 
some  joint  action  that  it  now  seems  hard  to 
imagine  how  the  situations  could  have  been 
met  by  spasmodic  individual  action.  Joint 
effort  seems  economical  of  time  and  money 
and  the  constructive  way  of  facing  the 
present  needs  and  future  expansion  of  a  great 
industry,  a  great  industry  facing  its  period 
of  greatest  expansion.

Copyright  Report  for  the  Fiscal  Year  1920-21 

By  Thorvald  Solberg,  Register  of  Copyrights 


COPYRIGHT  ENTRIES   AND  FEES 

THE  registrations  for  the  fiscal  year  num- 
bered   135,280.      Of    these,    127,338    were 
registrations  at  $i  each,  including  a  cer- 
tificate, and  5,736  were  registrations  of  photo- 
graphs without  certificates,  at  50  cents  each. 
There    were    also    2,206    registrations    of    re- 
newals, at  50  cents  each.     The  fees  for  these 
registrations  amounted  to  a  total  of  $131,309. 

COPYRIGHT     DEPOSITS 

The  total  number  of  separate  articles  de- 
posited, in  compliance  with  the  copyright  law, 
which  have  been  registered,  stamped,  indexed, 
and  cataloged,  during  the  fiscal  year  is  235,122. 
It  is  not  possible  to  determine  exactly  how 
completely  the  works  which  claim  copyright 
are  deposited;  but  as  title  cards  are  printed 
and  supplied  upon  request  to  other  libraries 
for  all  books  received  bearing  United  States 
notice  of  copyright,  the  demand  for  such  cards 
for  works  not  received  furnishes  some  indi- 
cation of  possible  percentage  of  failure  to 
deposit. 

In  response  to  inquiries  received  during  the 
year  from  the  Card  Division,  the  Order  Di- 
vision, and  the  Reading  Room  in  regard  to 
631  books  supposed  to  have  been  copyrighted 
but  not  discovered  in  the  library,  it  was  found 
that  35  of  these  works  had  been  received  and 
were  actually  in  the  Library,  122  books  had 
been  deposited  and  still  in  the  Copyright  Office, 
30  works  were  either  not  published,  did  not 
claim  copyright,  or  for  other  valid  reasons 
could  not  be  deposited,  while  in  the  case  of  248 
works  no  answers  to  our  letters  of  inquiry 
had  been  received  up  to  June  30,  1921.  Copies 
we"e  received  of  196  works  in  all  in  response 
to,  requests  made  by  the  Copyright  Office  dur- 
i&g  the  period  of  12  months  for  the  works 
published  in  recent  years. 

The  total  copyright  deposits  for  the  year 
included : 

Printed  volumes  19,306 

Pamphlets  and  leaflets    35,636 

Newspapers  and  magazines    68,148 

Dramas   3,545

Contributions    to    periodicals     ....     13,125 

Works  of  art  and  drawings 3.982 

Lectures 198 

These  were  all  produced  in  the  United  States. 
From  abroad  there  were   received  2,546  books 
in   foreign  languages   and   247  books   in   Eng-' 
lish. 

During  the  fiscal  year  a  total  of  102,789  ar- 
ticles deposited  have  been  transferred  to  the 
Library  of  Congress.  This  number  included 
16,632  books,  50,589  periodicals,  29,125  pieces 
of  music,  3.355  maps,  and  3.088  photographs

INDEX    OF     COPYRIGHT    ENTRIES,     CATALOG, 
BULLETINS  AND  CIRCULARS 

The  Copyright  Act  of  1909  (sec.  56;  re- 
quires the  Register  of  Copyrights  to  fully 
index  all  copyright  registrations.  This  index 
is  made  by  using  card  forms  carefully  pre- 
pared and  printed.  223,044  cards  were'  made 
during  the  fiscal  year  for  this  purpose.  These 
cards  are  used  as  the  printer's  copy  (properly 
edited)  for  the  Catalogue  of  Copyright  En- 
tries required  by  law  to  be  prepared  and 
printed  at  periodic  intervals.  When  returned 
from  the  printer  after  the  revision  of  the 
proof  about  half  of  these  cards  are  filed  in 
their  proper  places  in  the  permanent  card  in- 
dexes. During  the  year  135,280  cards  of  this 
character  were  so  completed  and  filed.  The 
various  permanent  indexes  to  the  copyright 
registrations  now  contain  nearly  three  and  a 
half  million  cards.  To  save  cost  of  duplica- 
tion so  far  as  practical,  the  title  cards  for 
copyrighted  books  prepared  by  the  Catalogue 
Division  of  the  Library  of  Congress  are  used 
in  preparing  printer's  copy  for  the  Catalogue 
of  Copyright  Entries,  Part  i,  Group  I  (Books). 
Of  the  6,673  t'tles  of  books  entered  during  the 
calendar  year  1920,  about  6,000  were  so  pre- 
pared. 

The  remaining  titles  were  made  in  the  Copy- 
right Office  by  the  Catalogue  and  Index  Di- 
vision, as  well  as  the  index  cards  required  for 
all  other  works  registered,  the  cards  numbering, 
during  1020,  nearly  220,000. 

During  the  calendar  year  1920.  136  num- 
bers of  Part  i,  Group  I,  of  the  Catalogue  were 
published,  containing  the  book  titles,  with 
complete  record  for  all  renewals  for  books, 
and  complete  annual  index.  1.089  plus  266 
pages;  12  monthly  numbers  of  Part  i.  Group 
2,  containing  titles  of  pamphlets,  contributions 
to  newspapers,  lectures,  dramatic  composi- 
tions, maps,  and  motion  pictures,  and  a  com- 
plete annual  index,  1,952  closely  printed  pages : 
4  quarterly  numbers  of  Part  2,  containing  a 
registrations  for  newspapers  and  magazine*,  with 
annual  index,  467  pages:  12  monthly  numbers 
of  Part  3,  musical  compositions,  with  conjp 
list  of  renewals  for  music  and  lists  of  music 
used  or  licensed  to  be  used  for  mechanic 
reproduction,  together  with  complete  annual

index,  2,589  compactly  printed  pages;  and 
4  quarterly  numbers  of  Part  4,  containing 
•registrations  of  works  of  art  and  photographs 
and  prints,  with  annual  index,  410  pages. 

The  two  Copyright  Office  bulletins  most  in 
demand,  No.  14,  containing  the  copyright  laws, 
and  No.  15,  "Rules  and  Regulations  for  the 
registration  of  claims  to  copyright,"  were  re- 
printed during  the  year.  Information  Circulars 
were  printed  as  follows:  No.  58,  containing 
the  President's  Copyright  Proclamation  dated 
April  10,  1920  in  regard  to  Great  Britain  and 
the  British  copyright  Order  in  Council  dated 
February  9,  1920,  both  effective  on  the  2d  day 
of  February,  1920,  (6p.  8°)  ;  and  No.  59,  con- 
taining the  President's  Copyright  Proclamation 
of  December  9,  1920,  in  regard  to  Denmark 
(3p.  8°).  A  continuing  demand  for  copies  of 
the  general  Copyright  Proclamation  of  April 
9,  1910,  necessitated  a  reprint  of  Information 
Circular  No.  40  (2p.  8e). 

LEGISLATION 

On  February  24,  1921,  a  joint  resolution  pro- 
viding that  certain  motion-picture  films  and 
talking  machine  records  registered  under  the 
United  States  copyright  laws  be  sent  to  the 
Director  of  the  National  Museum  for  preser- 
vation, was  introduced  in  the  Senate  by  Hon. 
James  D.  Phelan  of  California.  It  was  re- 
ferred to  the  Senate  Committee  on  Education 
and  Labor,  but  there  was  no  further  action 
taken. 

On  April  13,  1921,  Hon.  Duncan  U.  Fletcher 
reintroduced  his  bill  "to  protect  Government 
documents  by  copyright."  The  text  of  this  bill 
is  identical  with  Sec.  I  of  the  bill  introduced 
on  February  28,  1918. 

A  bill  to  amend  section  i  of  the  copyright 
law  of  1909,  was  introduced  on  June  21, 
1921,  by  Hon.  Florian  Lampert  and  was  re- 
ferred to  the  Committee  on  Patents.  The 
amendment  consists  in  the  addition  of  a  fur- 
ther proviso  to  the  first  paragraph  of  sec.  i 
(e),  in  the  following  words: 

The  copyright  control  shall  not  extend  to 
public  performances  for  profit  of  musical  com- 
positions where  such  performance  is  made 
from  printed  or  written  sheets  or  reproducing 
devices  issued  under  the  authority  of  the 
owner  of  the  copyright. 

My  last  year's  report  (1919-20,  p.  130)  noted 
the  passage  by  the  House  of  Representatives 
of  the  public  printing  bill,  containing  the  pro- 
vision that  "no  Government  publication  or  any 
portion  thereof  shall  be  copyrighted,"  but  no 
action  was  taken  by  the  Senate  on  that  bill 
before  the  adjournment  of  the  66th  Congress. 
Early  in  the  67th  Congress,  a  public  printing 
bill  was  introduced  in  the  Senate  by  Hon.  Geo. 
H.  Moses,  on  which  no  action  has  yet  been 
recorded. 

"A  bill  to  consolidate,  codify,  revise,  and 
reenact  the  general  and  permanent  laws  of 
the  United  States  in  force  March  4,  1919,"  was 
introduced  in  the  House  by  Hon.  Edward  C. 
Little  on  September  20.  1919,  as  H.  R.  9389. 
Several  prints  of  the  bill  were  issued  to  De- 
•  cember  17,  1920,  and  reports  were  printed 
March  27,  1920  and  January  13,  1921.  The  bill 


passed  the  House  on  December  20,  1920,  and 
was  presented  to  the  Senate  on  December  23, 
1920.  The  bill  was  reintroduced  in  the  67th 
Congress  as  H.  R.  12,  April  II,  1921.  It  was 
reported  without  amendment  May  13,  1921  (H. 
Rept.  68),  passed  the  House  on  May  16,  and 
was  presented  to  the  Senate  and  referred  to 
the  Committee  on  Revision  of  the  Laws  on 
June  27,  1921. 

INTERNATIONAL   COPYRIGHT 

Under  the  authority  of  the  act  approved  De- 
cember 18,  1919,  providing  for  retrospective 
copyright  protection  in  the  United  States  for 
works  published  abroad  after  August  I,  1914, 
and  "before  the  date  of  the  President's  Proc- 
lamation of  Peace"  not  heretofore  copyrighted 
in  the  United  States,  a  proclamation  by  the 
President  was  issued  on  April  10,  1920,  in  be- 
half of  Great  Britain  (see  my  report  1919-20, 
pp.  141-147)  and  a  similar  proclamation  in  be- 
half of  Denmark  was  issued  on  D^:ember  9, 
1920  (see  pp.  136-139  of  this  report). 

Under  .the  provisions  of  the  Joint  Resolution 
of  Congress  (Public  No.  64,  approved  March 

3,  1921)  the  act  of  December  18,  1919,  became 
effective  on  March  3,  1921.     Works  published 
abroad  in  the  English  language  after  that  date 
may  be  deposited  in  the  Copyright  Office  for 
registration  within  60  days  after  first  publica- 
tion to  secure  an  ad  interim  copyright  in  the 
United  States  for  four  months  from  the  date 
of  receipt  of  the  deposited  copy  and  registra- 
tion as  provided  by  this  act. 

Under  the  provisions  of  the  act  of  March 

4,  1909,  the  benefits  of  section  i   (e),  securing 
copyright  control  of  the  mechanical  reproduc- 
tion of  music,  were  extended  to  the  authors  of 
Sweden    by    the    President's    proclamation    of 
February  27,  1920  (see  pp.  135-136  of  this  re- 
port). 

"An  Act  to  amend  and  consolidate  the  law 
relating  to  copyright"  was  passed  by  the  Par- 
liament of  Canada  during  May  and  assented 
to  on  June  4,  1921.  When  its  provisions  are 
put  into  effect  they  will  seriously  embarrass  the 
publishers  of  books  and  periodicals  in  the 
United  States.  In  response  to  inquiries  con- 
cerning this  act  it  is  printed*  in  full  in  the 
addenda  to  ths  report,  pp.  141-168. 

The  enactment  of  this  Canadian  statute 
makes  it  imperative  that  some  action  be 
promptly  taken  to  secure  more  satisfactory 
copyright  relations  between  the  United  States 
and  Canada.  The  fundamental  difficulty  here- 
tofore has  been  the  obligation  to  print  in  the 
United  States  books  and  periodicals  and  to 
manufacture  here  lithographs  and  photo-en- 
gravings, and  the  first  step  clearly  indicated  is 
the  elimination  by  law  of  this  requirement 
of  American  manufacture.  The  Authors' 
League  of  America  is  proposing  the  introduc- 
tion of  an  amendatory  act  limited  to  the  abro- 
gation of  all  provisions  of  the  Copyright  Act 
of  March  4,  1909,  relating  to  American  type- 
setting, etc.,  and  to  urge  its  prompt  enactment 
by  Congress.  When  that  has  been  accom- 
plished satisfactory  reciprocal  copyright  pro- 
tection between  the  two  countries  may  be  dis- 
cussed and  arranged  for.

GIFTS 

Among  the  gifts  received  was  one  of  a  large 
lot  of  pamphlets,  periodicals,  and  separate  works 
that  included  some  rare  southern  imprints 
dating  before  the  Civil  War,  presented  by 
Mr.  Desha  Breckinridge,  Lexington,  Ky., 
Miss  Sophonisba  Breckinridge,  and  Mr. 
Henry  Breckinridge  Washington,  D.  C,  with- 
the  gift  made  by  them  of  additions  to  the  Breck- 
inridge papers  which  they  had  previously  pre- 
sented. From  Viscount  Bryce  came  a  collection 
of  pamphlets,  periodicals,  and  newspapers  deal- 
ing with  questions  of  the  day,  particularly  with 
regard  to  affairs  of  Slavic  nationalities.  From 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Hugo  W.  Hesselbach,  Wash- 
ington, D.  C,  came  a  collection  of  German 
literature  that  formed  the  library  of  Mr.  Hes- 
selbach's  father,  the  late  William  Randolph 
Hesselbach.  From  Mr.  J.  Henry  Holcomb, 
custodian  of  the  records,  headquarters  of  the 
Grand  Army  of  the  Republic,  Philadelphia, 
came,  in  accordance  with  the  action  of  the  Na- 
tional Encampment,  sets  of  the  journals  of  the 
National  and  Departmental  Encampments.  The 
additions  made  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Joseph  Pen- 
nell  to  the  Joseph  and  Elizabeth  Robins  Pennell 
collection  of  Whistleriana,  presented  by  them 
to  the  Library  in  1917,  are  noteworthy. 

Gifts  from  publishers  included  various  im- 
ported and  non-copyrighted  books,  as  well  as 
certain  copyrighted  books,  of  which  additional 
copies  were  desired :  From  the  B*ureau  of  Na- 
tional Literature,  20  volumes;  M.  Edouard. 
Champion,  3  volumes ;  George  H.  Doran  Com- 
pany, 35  volumes;  Doubleday,  Page  &  Com- 
pany, 34  volumes;  E.  P.  Dutton  &  Company,

volumes ;  B.  W.  Huebsch  Inc.,  3'  volumes ;  John 
Lane  Company.  60  volumes ;  Longmans.  Green 
&  Company,  89  volumes ;  John  W.  Luce  &

Pioneer  Company,  i  volume;  Plon-Nourrit  & 
Cie,  5  volumes;  Frederick  A,  Stokes  Company 
4  volumes. 

PURCHASES 

The  total  of  purchases  during  the  past  year 
tho  not  so  great  as  in  1920,  is  considerably 
above  the  pre-war  average.  In  that  year  the 
Library  was  in  receipt  of  several  collections  of 
war  material,  which  augmented  the  total  receipt 
thru  purchase.  In  addition,  as  during  the 
past  year,  a  number  of  orders  that  had  been 
placed  abroad  were  filled,  which  had  remained 
unexecuted  because  of  war  conditions.  Pur- 
chases of  war  material  have  been  and  must 
continue  to  be  selective.  For  purchases  gen- 
erally, with  respect  to  quality,  tho  not  as 
to  number,  obviously  one  of  our  chief  sources 
is  the  auction  roof.  During  the  fiscal  year 
1920-21,  the  Library  bid  on  1,539  items  offered 
for  sale  at  auction,  and  obtained  1,046  of  them, 
or  a  little  iless  than  68  per  cent  of  the  number. 
The  year  before  the  Library  similarly  bid  on 
1,688  items,  and  obtained  1,093  of  them,  or 
nearly  65  per  cent  of  the  number.  The  results 
thus  shown,  are  encouraging  only  within  limits. 

Purchase  of  a  copy  of  the  interesting  block 
book  of  Italian  origin,  the  "Opera  noua  contem- 
platiua"  of  Giovanni  Andrea  Vavassore,  gives 
to  the  Library  an  interesting  specimen  of 
printing  from  engraved  wooden  blocks,  and 
the  first  block  book,  other  than  in  reproduction. 
that  it  has  come  to  possess.  Six  incunabula 
have  been  added.  Exceptional  good  fortune 
enabled  us  to  obtain  six  rare  issues  of  English 
colonial  treaties  with  the  American  Indians. 
Mr.  De  Puy,  in  his  bibliography  of  the  sub- 
ject, gives  50  entries  for  treaties  negotiated 
between  1677  and  1768  that  were  separately 
printed.  The  Library  now  possesses  in  the 
original  issue  21  of  the  50. 

Numerous  titles  in  English  and  American 
literature  of  the  eighteenth  and  nineteenth  cen- 
turies significant  for  their  literary,  historical, 
or  bibliographical  interest  have  been  added  dur- 
ing the  year;  but  a  list  of  them  would  unduly 
swell  this  report. 

In  the  Librarian's  report  for  1910  was  noted 
the  deposit  in  that  year,  by  Mrs.  John  Boyd 
Thacher,  of  Albany,  N.  Y.,  of  the  collection  of 
incunabula  brought  together  by  her  husband,  the 
late  John  Boyd  Thacher.  Mrs.  Thacher.  again 
manifesting  the  same  public  spirit  that  actuated 
her  husband  during  his  distinguished  career, 
has  now  deposited  in  the  Library  Mr.  Thach- 
er's  collection  on  the  French  Revolution.

recommendation  of  the  Secretary  of  State,  the 
President  of  the  United  States  directed  the 
transfer  to  the  Library  of  Congress  (under  the 
general  authorization  of  the  Act  of  Congress 
of  February  25,  1903)  of  the  originals  of  the 
Declaration  of  Independence  and  of  the  Consti- 
tution of  the  United  States.  The  formal  trans- 
fer was  made  at  the  Department  of  State  on 
September  30  (1921),  when  Secretary  Hughes 
delivered  these  historic  documents  to  the  Li- 
brarian of  Congress. 

The  field  of  history  is  constantly  broadening. 
Social,  economic,  educational,  literary  and  art 
movements  now  claim  the  attention  of  the  his- 
torian, and  consequently  are  not  to  be  neglected 
in  the  gathering  of  materials  for  his  use.  The 
development  of  the  Nation  can  not  be  dealt  with 
adequately  without  reliance  on  the  papers  of 
the  Presidents  of  the  United  States.  During 
the  past  year  there  have  been  noteworthy  addi- 
tions to  the  presidential  series. 

Mr.  J.  Pierpont  Morgan's  collection  of  Wash- 
ington letters  includes  a  number  not  in  the  Li- 
brary's 400  volumes  of  Washington  papers.  In 
order  to  make  his  material  available  to  his- 
torical scholars,  Mr.  Morgan  graciously  and 
generously  had  his  letters  photostated  for  this 
Library. 

[The  Library  has  also  obtained  other  Wash- 
ington papers  and  correspondence  of  Adams, 
Jefferson,  Madison,  Monroe,  Jackson,  Van  Bur- 
en,  Tyler,  Polk,  Fillmore,  Buchanan,  Lincoln, 
Johnson,  Grant,  Hayes,  Garfield  and  McKinley.] 

The  Commodore  John  Rodgers  papers  fur- 
nish materials  for  the  study  of  the  beginning 
of  the  United  States  Navy. 

Materials  for  Navy  history  have  been  added 
to  appreciatively  by  the  further  gift  of  some 
400  papers  of  Rear  Admiral  Charles  Stillman 
Sperry.  There  are  letters  from  the  Second 
Peace  Conference  at  The  Hague  in  1907,  and 
an  unpublished  account  of  the  cruise  round  the 
world  of  the  Atlantic  Fleet,  1007-9. 

The  Confederate  States  Treasury  Depart- 
ment records  of  expenditures  from  its  organi- 
zation, September  19,  1861,  to  January  18,  1862; 
correspondence  of  the  Treasury,  including  let- 
ters from  collectors  of  customs;  also  quarter- 
masters' correspondence;  also  letters  and  tele- 
grams to  the  Secretary  of  War,  C.  S.  A.,  are 
among  the  official  papers  deposited  by  the 
United  States  Treasury. 

These  records  have  been  supplemented  by 
the  purchase  of  the  correspondence  and  papers 
of  George  A.  Trenholm,  the  last  Secretary  of 
the  Confederate  Treasury.  The  group  includes 
information  as  to  cotton  shipments  for  Treas- 
ury account  and  loans  negotiated  in  France  and 
England. 

By  the  gift  of  Hon.  Henry  Breckinridge, 
Trustee,  formerly  Assistant  Secretary  of  War, 
the  Library  comes  into  possession  of  the  papers 
of  his  father,  the  late  Maj.  Gen.  Joseph  Cabell 
Breckinridge,  Inspector  General  of  the  Army. 
1889-1004.  The  collection  is  especially  rich  in 
materials  relating  to  the  Spanish  American  War. 
This  addition  to  the  Breckinridge  papers  adds 
an  important  group  to  a  collection  which  begins 
with  the  correspondence  of  John  Breckinridge 


(in  the  second  generation  from  a  Scotch  Cov- 
enanter who  escaped  to  America  after  the  re- 
storation of  the  Stuarts),  who  was  the  author 
of  the  Kentucky  Resolutions  and  of  the  legis- 
lation relating  to  the  admission  of  Louisiana. 

Mr.  Justice  Holmes  supplemented  his  former 
gifts  by  bestowing  on  the  Library  seven  volumes 
of  manuscripts  of  Dr.  Holmes's  writings,  in- 
cluding "The  Poet  at  the  Breakfast  Ta'ble" ; 
"Over  the  Teacups" ;  "A  Mortal  Antipathy" 
and  "Our  Hundred  Days" ;  a  volume  of  poems ; 
the  biography  of  Ralph  Waldo  Emerson;  a 
volume  of  notes  on  Emerson ;  and  the  biog- 
raphy of  John  Lothrop  Motley. 

The  demands  on  the  material  were  more  di- 
versified this  year  than  last.  More  important 
projects  and  a  greater  interest  in  historical!  re- 
search were  made  evident  by  the  manner  in 
which  the  material  was  used.  Prof.  John  Bach 
McMaster,  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania, 
spent  several  months  in  the  division,  engaged 
on  the  continuation  of  his  "History  of  the 
People  of  the  United  States."  Prof.  Edward 
Channing  of  Harvard  College  has  been  an 
occasional  visitor  in  connection  with  his  "His- 
tory of  the  United  States."  Mr.  Jos- 
eph Bucklin  Bishop  drew  upon  the  Roosevelt 
papers  here  for  much  of  the  material  used  in 
"Theodore  Roosevelt's  Letters  to  his  Children," 
and  for  his  "Theodore  Roosevelt  and  His  Time 
as  Shown  in  His  Own  Letters."  Selections  from 
the  llast-named  correspondence  are  now  on  ex- 
hibition in  the  Library.  Prof.  John  Spencer 
Bassett  of  Smith  College,  was  occupied  for 
six  months  on  the  Andrew  Jackson  correspon- 
dence, with  the  result  of  adding  materially  to 
the  Jackson  papers,  thru  gifts  of  papers  lo- 
cated by  him.  This  form  of  cooperation  is 
beneficial  both  to  the  student  and  to  the  Library. 
Mr.  James  Truslow  Adams  worked  in  the  di- 
vision for  several  months  on  materials  used  in 
his  "The  Founding  of  New  England."  More 
than  130  different  students  registered  for  longer 
or  shorter  periods,  and  the  daily  average  num- 
ber of  persons  working  was  about  10.

The  February 
Poster 

THE  program  of  the 
Year-Round  Booksell- 
ing Campaign  places 
special  emphasis  for  Feb- 
ruary on  books  concerning 
American  biography  and 
history.  The  poster,  which 
is  going  out  to  the  book- 
sellers, is  one  of  the  most 
successful  that  'has  'yet  been 
issued,  and  dealers  are  like- 
ly to  give  at  honorary  place 
on  their  walls  long  after 
the  month  is  over.  Black 
and  white  reproduction  does 
not  give  the  full  effect,  as 
in  the  color  the  figures  of 
father  and  son  are  in  bright 
orange  and  brown  and  the 
historical  figures  like  a 
tapestry  of  blue  and  green. 

Book  Reviewers 
and  Churches 

AX  article  appears  in 
the  current  number  of 
the  Congregationalist, 
which  shows  that  one  Ohio 
minister  in  that  denomina- 
tion has  found  that  his 
parish  is  decidedly  inter- 
ested in  current  books,  and 
interested  also,  to  have  them 
carefully  discussed  and 
the  problems  they  present 
thrashed  over : 

In  the  hottest  part  of  the 
summer,  a  pastor  in  a  mid- 
western  church  announced 
on  a  Sunday  morning  that 
lor  a  number  of  Wednes- 
day afternoons  at  4.30  he 
would  review  popular  nov- 
els. With  a  twinkle  in  his 
eye,  he  said  that,  if  no  one  cared  to  appear 
at  the  appointed  hour,  he  would  spend  that 
time  in  reading  other  novels. 

"He  found  the  church  editors  of  the  local 
papers  very  willing  to  give  free  publicity. 
What  was  his  delight,  on  arriving  at  the  par- 
ish house  the  first  afternoon,  to  find  no  peo- 
ple assembled  to  hear  his  review  of  Rose 
Macaulay's  Totterism.'  The  next  Wednes- 
day afternon  found  a  capacity  audience.  Peo- 
ple were  standing  in  the  corridors  and  were 
perched  in  the  balconies  to  hear  his  revie  •  of 
Sinclair  Lewis's  'Main  Street.'  The  attend- 
ance was  over  220,  altho  the  thermometer 
stood  at  03  in  the  shade.  Crowds  ranering 


America's  Making

"In  these  book  reviews  the  pastor  told  "the 
story  as  simply  as  possible,  and  then  very 
frankly  preached  as  good  a  sermon  as  he 
could,  on  some  of  the  problems  presented.  Ml 
the  meetings  were  unsensational  in  style,  the 
people  being  reverent  and.  attentive."

The  Publishers'  Weekly 

In  the  Field  of  the  Retailer 


A  New  Combination 

THERE  have  been  many  suggestions  during 
the  past  year  that  the  book  business  could 
find  healthy  connection  with  many  other 
lines  of  merchandise  besides  those  with  which 
books  are  accustomed  to  appear.  Perhaps  the 
most  unusual  recent  news  of  such  a  definite 
accomplishment  is  that  coming  from  Elizabeth 
H.  West,  State  Librarian  at  Austin,  Texas, 
who  reports  that  in  Dallas  J.  A.  Majors  Com- 
pany of  1710  Commerce  Street  has  an  automo- 
bile shop  and  books  happily  combined.  Miss 
West's  description  is  as  fallows : 

"Passing  along  a  business  street  of  Dallas, 
Texas,  a  few  days  ago,  I  noticed  an  automobile 
shop  with  books  arranged  on  shelves  on  one 
side.  The  combination  aroused  my  curiosity 
so  that  I  stepped  inside  to  inquire  ho*w  it  hap- 
pened. I  was  told  by  the  young  man  in  charge 
that  the  shoo  was  originally  a  book  shop  deal- 
ing in  medical  books;  the  main  house  being  in 
New  Orleans ;  and  that  automobiles  had  been 
added  as  a  side  line. 

"I  asked  him  how  far  the  two  lines  had 
helped  each  other  out ;  he  replied  that  the  auto- 
mobile line  had  apparently  had  no  effect  upon 
the  bookselling  end  of  the  business,  but  that 
the  books  had  helped  automobile  sales,  in  that 
several  physicians  coming  in  to  buy  medical 
books  had  become  interested  in  the  automobiles 
with  several  resultant  sales. 

"Both  lines  seemed  to  be  flourishing,  and 
will  soon  be  separated ;  for  the  present,  how- 
ever, this  combination,  unique  so  far  as  I 
know,  is  continued." 

Still  Buying  a  Book  a  Week 

FIVE  customers   who  started  last  year  are 
still  regularly  buying  their  "book  a  week"  ac- 
cording to  the   report  of  Will  H.  Johnson  of 
W.  B.  Read  &  Co.,  B'loomington,  111. 

Mr.  Johnson  wrote  an  interesting  account  for 
the  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY  last  May  of  how  he 
had  put  into  practice  the  slogan  of  "Buy  a 
Book  a  Week,"  and  he  has  been  pleased  to 
find  how  many  who  took  up  the  idea  have  not 
needed  further  urging  to  make  the  regular  addi- 
tions to  their  libraries. 

ATStore  Correspondence  Card 

THE  Little  Bookstore  in  East  Sixtieth  Street, 
New  York,  has  an  attractive  correspondence 
card  that  gives  a  personal  touch  to  all  the  no- 
tices that  go  out.  This  card  is  4^4  x  ^A  and 
has  a  decorative  border  with  the  name  and 
address  of  the  shop  in  a  scroll  across  the  top. 
There  is  a  good  sized  writing  space,  and  it  can 
be  mailed  at  the  one  cent  postage  rate. 
This  forms  a  very  effective  way  of  notifying 
people  about  books  that  have  come  to  hand 
which  should  be  of  special  interest  to  them. 


Writing  Sentiment  for  People 

THOSE  who  either  sell  or  use  greeting 
cards,  which  have  come  to  be  such  an  im- 
portant part  of  our  every-day  life,  do  not  often 
stop  to  consider  the  careful  thought  that  is 
given  to  the  subject  of  getting  the  right  senti- 
ment into  the  right  shape.  A  most  interesting 
analysis  of  what  people  like  in  sentiments  is 
given  in  an  article  in  the  January  American, 
based  on  an  interview  with  J.  P.  McEvoy,  edi- 
tor for  the  P.  F.  Volland  Company,  and  well 
known  to  the  book-trade  for  his  energy  and 
imagination  of  the  book  as  well  as  the  greet- 
ing card  field. 

Mr.  McEvoy  says  that  "You  would  be  sur- 
prised to  know  how  many  people  are  yearning 
for  somebody,  and  they  are  either  too  bashful 
to  say  it  or  they  do  not  know  how  to  write  it 
so  they  send  'Yearning-for-you'  cards.  Other 
popular  cards  are  the  'heart-home-and-mother' 
and  the  lonely  theme.  The  best  selling  Valen- 
tine Day  card  Volland  ever  had  carried  the  sim- 
ple line, 'Aw,  go  on !  Have  a  heart!'  The  best 
selling  birthday  card  said  'Cheer  up,  everybody 
'has  'em."  As  Mr.  McEvoy  points  out,  the  edi- 
tor of  a  magazine  may  study  the  tastes  and 
ideas  of  the  people  and  yet  never  know  exactly 
what  part  of  what  he  prints  is  most  in  line  with 
public  sentiment.  The  greeting  card  manufac- 
turer is  left  in  no  such  uncertainty.  He  has 
a  very  direct  check  on  the  sales,  as  people  read 
what  they  buy  and  buy  what  they  like  to  read. 

Eighty  Years  a  Bookstore 

ADAMS  Book  Store  at  165  North  Main  St, 
Fall  River,  has  been  celebrating  its  eightieth 
birthday. 

It  was  founded  in  1842  by  Robert  Adams  and 
continued  by  his  son,  Edward  S.  Adams,  until 
he  retired  in  1917  in  favor  of  Laughlin  W.  Mc- 
Farland  who  had  been  long  connected  with  the 
store. 

To  celebrate  the  anniversary,  one  of  the  show 
windows  of  the  store  was  filled  with  papers  and 
mementoes  of  the  days  when  Fall  River  was 
young.  Among  the  papers  were  receipted  bills 
covering  many  years,  which  showed  that  in 
those  days  it  was  very  common  to  have  annual 
settlements  between  retailers  and  manufactur- 
ers and  also  between  these  same  merchants  and 
their  customers.  lit  was  not  until  the  early  sev- 
enties that  bills  began  to  be  presented  quar- 
terly. 

Among  other  papers  was  an  order  upon  Rob- 
ert Adams  for  schoolbooks  for  those  children 
who  could  not  afford  to  purchase  their  own. 
One  of  these  was  signed  by  Samuel  Longfel- 
low, brother  of  the  poet,  who  was  Unitarian 
minister  there  and  chairman  of  the  school  com- 
mittee. Edward  S.  Adams  still  retains  his  desk 
at  the  store  tho  taking  no  active  part  in  the 
business.

Foreign  Language  Books 

THAT  there  is  less  study  of  foreign  lan- 
guages in  the  colleges  of  the  country  than 
previously  is  indicated  by  the  figures  given  out 
at  a  recent  conference  of  eighteen  leading  col- 
leges and  universities  at  Chicago.  Ten  years 
ago,  about  twenty-five  per  cent  of  all  the  stuh 
dents  were  taking  foreign  languages ;  now,  only 
twenty-one  and  one-third  per  cent.  This  is  con- 
trary to  what  would  have  been  expected  as  the 
result  of  our  wider  interest  in  world  affairs, 
and  will  mean  less  textbooks  for  that  field  and 
less  literature  in  the  foreign  languages  sold 
than  heretofore.  There  has  been  an  increase  in 
the  study  of  the  sciences. 

Leary's  Location  Threatened 

THE  time-honored  site  of  the  famous  second- 
hand bookstore  of  Leary,  Stuart  &  Co.  at 
9  South  Ninth  St.  has  been  threatened  by  an 
ordinance  introduced  before  the  Philadelphia 
City  Council  whose  object  is  to  provide  for  the 
widening  of  Ludlow  St.  The  object  of  this 
widening  is  to  provide  a  delivery  approach  to 
the  big  new  extension  for  Gimbel  Bros,  depart- 
ment store. 

The  action  will  be  opposed  by  Hon.  Edwin 
S.  Stuart,  head  of  this  book  business  and  former 
governor  of  Pennsylvania  wiho  moved  the  busi- 
ness to  that  location  in  1877.  Mr.  Stuart  ex- 
plains that  if  it  were  a  matter  of  civic  im- 
provement he  would  not  complain  but  as  it  is 
merely  a  business  proposition  he  believes  that 
the  (bookstore  should  be  left  on  the  site  where 
it  is  known  to  thousands  thruout  the  country. 

No  Canadian  Import  Marking 

BY  an   order-in-council  just  passed   at   Ot- 
tawa, the   regulation  of  making  necessary 
an  imprint  on  all  goods  shipped  into  Canada 
has  been  again  postponed  and  it  seems  unlikely 
that  it  will  ever  be  revived. 

This  import  regulation  was  originally  planned 
for  October  ist  and  then,  because  of  objections 
received  from  importers,  was  delayed  until  Jan- 
uary. The  act  of  postponement  is  effective 
"until  after  the  close  of  the  next  session  of 
Parliament"  the  Parliament  coming  to  session 
in  March. 

International  Theatrical  Exhibit 

THE  association,  Kunst  aan  het  Volk  (Art 
1  for  the  People)  will  organize  in  January  and 
February  a  theatrical  exhibition  in  the  Munici- 
pal Museum.  A  section  will  be  devoted  to  lit- 
erature concerning  the  modern  theater  in  all 
its  details.  The  printed  catalog  which  wilt  be 
sold  at  the  exhibition  will  specially  mention  tl 
names  of  the  editors,  the  owners,  and  those 
who  offered  books,  so  that  the  booklet  will  be- 
come an  important  acquisition  for  the  literature 
of  the  theater,  that  means  a  universal  biblio- 
graphy of  the  world's  theater  literature,  a 
permanent  guide  for  all  those  interested  in  the 
movement  of  the  modern  theater. 


Current  Clippings 

Boni  &  Liveright  will  soon  publish  the  first 
novel  of  Edna  St.  Vincent  Millay. 


There  is  a  rumor  that  Cosmo  Hamilton  U 
making  a  stage  play  of  A.  S.  M.  Hutchinson's 
"If  Winter  Comes." 


Amy  Lowell  started  a  brief  lecture  tour, 
January  11.  She  went  first  to  Pittsburgh,  then 
to  Cleveland,  Newark,  Trenton,  and  New  York. 
She  will  speak  five  times  in  New  York  City. 


A  woman  was  overheard  asking  in  the  John 
Wanamaker  bookshop  the  other  day  for  "The 
Woman  With  a  Mirror."  The  clerk  found 
that  she  meant  "The  Glass  of  Fashion." 


ANOTHER  novel  by  Knut  Hamsun  has  been 
announced  for  publication  by  Knopf.  It  is 
"Wanderers,"  which  combines  the  two  original 
Norwegian  novels  "Under  the  Autumn  Stars" 
and  "A  Wanderer  Plays  With  Muted  Strings." 
Other  novels  by  Hamsun  will  follow  at  regular 
intervals. 


Ax  EXPERIMENT  unique  in  the  theater  will 
be  launched  by  the  Theatre  Guild  on  Feb.  2. 
when  it  will  begin  the  presentation  of  Shaw's 
newest  play,  "Back  to  Methuselah,"  at  the 
Garrick  Theatre.  The  length  of  the  play  is 
such  that  it  will  require  three  evenings  for 
its  presentation,  and  accordingly  it  will  be 
given  as  a  cycle. 

"Back  to  Methuselah"  has  been  available  m 
book  form  for  a  number  of  months,  published 
by  Brentano's,  but  the  presentation  at  the 
Garrick  will  be  the  first  performance  on  any 
stage.  By  its  readers  it  has  been  generally 
regarded  as  unactable— chiefly  because  of 
length  and  the  impossibility  of  -condensing 
it,  even  if  George  Bernard  Shaw  were  to  give 
his  consent. 

ANNOUNCEMENT  is  just  made  at  the  University 
of  Chicago  that  the  contestants  for  the  annual 
John   Billings  Fiske  Prize  in  Poetry  are  re- 
quired to  have  their  manuscripts  m  t!

New  Issue  of  Mileage  Books 

THE  Senate  passed  on  January  2ist  the  In- 
terchangeable Mileage  Book  Bill,  which  di- 
rects 'the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission  to 
authorize  railroads  to  issue  mileage  books  of 
from  1,000  to  5,000  miles  at  "just  and  reason- 
able rates."  The  National  Association  of  Book 
Publishers  has  been  co-operating  with  other 
national  groups  in  pressing  for  some  action  of 
this  kind,  in  order  to  make  it  more  economical 
to  keep  men  in  the  field. 

It  had  been  argued  that  a  2l/2  cent  mile  rate 
ought  to  be  obtained,  but  the  Bill  leaves  the 
rate  to  the  Commission.  Present  mileage  aver- 
ages about  3.6  cents  to  a  mile.  The  general  im- 
pression is  that  the  mileage  will  be  issued  at 
2^4  or  3  cents  a  mile,  or  from  $6.00  to  $8.50 
saving  per  1,000  miles. 


Navy  Books  Sold

brary Association,  but  is  part  of  a  quantity 
purchased  by  the  navy  itself  before  the  A.  L.  A. 
established  its  connection  with  the  ships.  The 
books  are  -entirely  new  and  include  a  great 
many  on  travel,  biography,  several  thousand

TRAVEL  BOOKS  STOLEN 

Army  and  Navy  Club, 
Washington,    D.C. 
Jan.  21  st,   1922. 
Editor,  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY  : 

Last  August  I  rented  my  house  at  1825  Q  St., 
N.  W.,  to  a  Dr.  J.  F.  d'Vallier,  who  claimed 
to  be  a  British  subject,  and  was  attached  to  the 
British  Embassy.  The  man  left  Washington 
early  in  January  leaving  many  creditors  and 
I  discover  that  he  has  removed  and  presum- 
ably sold  about  500  volumes  from  my  library 
consisting  for  the  most  part  of  travel,  explor- 
ation, Northwest,  Southwest,  American  Indians, 
military  subjects  and  general  books.  To  date 
I  have  traced  only  one  book,  Peary's  "Farth- 
est North,"  which  was  sold  in  Boston. 

I  would  grealty  appreciate  the  publication  of 
this  letter  as  it  might  be  the  means  of  enabling 
me  to  trace  at  least  a  portion  of  my  property. 
There  was  also  a  painting  of  the  Crystal  Pal- 
ace Glacier,  Greenland,  and  several  articles  of 
silver.

Ocean  Rates  Drop 

THE  cost  of  shipping  from  Europe  is  now 
about  1 20  per  cent  above  the  pre-war  level, 
but  has  receded  considerably  from  the  highest 
rates  of  1920. 

Newly  collected  data  from  the  Atlantic  ports 
show  that  on  general  cargoes  the  cost  per  100 
pounds  from  the  United  Kingdom  was  17  cents 
pre-war,  $1.20  January,  1920,  and  at  present 
40  cents  to  75  cents ;  from  Hamburg,  which  was 
20  cents  before  the  war  and  which  rose  to  $1.50 
January,  1920,  the  rate  is  now  45  cents.

Obituary  Notes 

JAMES  BRYCE 

VISCOUNT  BRYCE  died  very  suddenly  at  Sid- 
mouth  England  on  January  22. 

He  was  one  of  the  foremost  scholars  of  poli- 
tics and  government  in  the  world.  This  repu- 
tation he  first  acquired  with  the  publication  of 
"The  Holy  Roman  Empire,"  a  dissertation  pub- 
lished when  he  was  only  24  years  old.  He  was 
for  six  years  the  Ambassador  from  Great 
Britain  to  this  country  and  did  more  for  the 
betterment  of  Anglo-American  relations  than 
any  of  his  contemporaries.  He  was  a  famous 
mountain  climber,  and  had  scaled  many  peaks 
hitherto  considered  impossible.  One  of  these 
was  Mt.  Ararat.  He  was  a  skilled  linguist, 
writing  and  speaking  six  languages  fluently  in 
addition  to  English. 

James  Bryce  was  born  in  Belfast,  Ireland, 
May  10,  1838.  He  was  educated  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  Glasgow,  and  later  became  a  scholar 
at  Trinity  College,  Oxford,  where  he  took  his 
degree  in  1862.  For  fifteen  years  he  practised 
as  a  barrister.  More  than  thirty  universities  in 
all  parts  of  the  world  have  awarded  him  their 
highest  honorary  degrees. 

Lord  Bryce's  famous  works  include : 

"The  Flora  of  the  Island  of  Arran,"  1859; 
"The  Holy  Roman  Empire,"  1862 ;  "Report  on 
the  condition  of  Education  in  Lancashire,"  1867 ; 
"The  Trade  Marks  Registration  Act,  with  In- 
troduction and  Notes  on  Trade  Mark  Law," 
1877;  "Transcaucasia  and  Ararat,"  1877;  "The 
American  Commonwealth,"  1888;  "Impressions 
of  South  Africa,"  1897;  "Studies  in  History 
and  Jurisprudence,"  1001 ;  "Studies  in  Contem- 
porary Biography,"  1003;  "The  Hindrances  to 
Good  Government,"  1009;  "South  America: 
Observations  and  Impressions,"  1912;  "Univer- 
sity and  Historical  Addresses."  1913;  "Essays 
and  Addresses  on  War,"  1918;  "Modern  De- 
mocracies," 1921. 

JOHN  KENDRICK  BANGS. 

JOHX  KENDRICK  BANGS,  the  author,  died  at 
Atlantic  City  on  January  21.  He  was  taken 
511  about  two  weeks  before  and  two  operations 
have  been  necessary.  The  third  was  aban- 
doned before  it  was  completed  because  of 
the  author's  weakness  and  he  did  not  retrain 
consciousness  at  the  end.  About  two  weeks 
ago  it  was  thought  he  could  not  live  twenty- 
four  hours,  but  his  characteristic  humor  camo 
to  his  aid  and  to  the  amazement  of  his  phy- 
sicians he  rallied. 

He  was  born  in  Yonkers,  May  27,  1862.  He 
graduated  from  Columbia  in  1883,  and  there- 
after studied  law.  He  was  well  known  in 


civic  and  political  circles  as  well  as  among 
men  of  letters.  In  1918  he  went  to  France 
for  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  and  the  American  Com- 
mittee for  Devastated  France.  One  of  his  lec- 
tures was  interrupted  by  an  air  raid.  He 
is  survived  by  his  wife  and  three  sons. 
The  list  of  his  works  includes : 
"Roger  Camerden,"  1886;  "Katherine,"  1887; 
"The  Lorgnette,"  1887;  "Mephistopheles," 
1888;  "New  Waggings  of  Old  Tales,"  1888; 
"Tiddley  winks  Tales."  1890;  "The  Tiddley-

JOHN  CHAPMAN  ROCKWELL 
JOHN  CHAPMAN  ROCKWELL,  who  died  in  Port 
Chester,  N.  Y.,  on  January  4th,  was  widely 
known  as  a  schoolman  and  a  bookman.  He 
was  born  in  Danbury,  Conn.,  sixty-two  years 
ago,  and  his  early  education  was  acquired  in 
the  common  schools  of  that  section.  He  en- 
tered the  teaching  profession  upon  his  gradua- 
tion from  the  Potsdam  Normal  School  and. 
after  teaching  for  several  years  in  Bronxville. 
he  assumed  charge  of  the  local  schools  system 
of  Port  Chester.  Later  he  purchased  a  con- 
trolling interest  in  the  Schermerhorn  Teach- 
ers' Agency.  He  subsequently  retired  from 
that  connection  to  become  district  superin- 
tendent in  Westchester  County.  At  the  time 
of  his  death,  he  was  an  agent  for  Hinds,  Hay- 
den  &  Eldredge,  Inc.,  of  New  York.  He  was 
widely  acquainted  in  New  York  State  and 
New  England  and  numbered  very  many  warm 
personal  friends  among  the  schoolmen  and 
bookmen  with  whom  he  came  in  contact.

Rare  Books,  Autographs  and  Prints 


OVER  1,000  rare  old  Japanese  prints  from 
the  collections  of  A.  Alexis  Rouart  and 
Vicomte  de  Sartiges  of  Paris  will  be  sold 
February  6  and  /   at  the  American  Art  Gal- 
leries. 

In  a  recent  issue  of  The  Dickensian  of 
London  in  commenting  upon  overseas  branches 
of  the  Dickens  Fellowship  it  stated  that  Toronto 
now  had  a  membership  of  496,  Montreal  of 
310  and  New  York  200.  A  new  branch  has 
lately  been  formed  in  Seattle,  Wash. 

It  seemed  like  old  times  to  hear  one  rare 
book  after  another  knocked  down  to  "G.  D.  S. 
Estate"  at  the  last  sale  at  Anderson's.  Harry 
Hymes,  who  has  been  identified  so  many  years 
with  the  Smith  Book  Shop,  executed  the 
auction  commissions.  The  famous  old  book 
shop  has  been  doing  a  lively  business  from 
the  very  beginning  of  the  season. 

The  manuscript  of  a  hitherto  unknown 
novel  by  Guy  de  Maupassant  entitled  "Le 
Docteur  Heraclius  Gloss"  has  been  discovered 
by  the  heirs  of  the  French  writer  and  has 
just  appeared  in  La  Revue  de  Paris  in  two 
instalments.  This  novel  was  written,  it  ap- 
pears, between  1875  and  1877  when  de  Mau- 
passant was  between  twenty-five  and  twenty- 
seven  years  of  age. 

James  F.  Drake  was  among  the  very  first 
of  dealers  to  foresee  the  present  popularity 
of  first  editions  of  modern  authors  and  backed 
his  judgment  by  laying  in  a  heavy  stock  that 
he  has  been  able  to  sell  at  attractive  prices 
and  at  a  handsome  profit.  Mr.  Drake,  too, 
was  fore-handed  when  colored  plate  books  and 
the  rarities  of  early  English  literature  were 
in  most  demand.  And  what  particularly 
pleases  his  customers,  especially  those  who 
have  been  with  him  longest,  is  that  they  have 
constantly  profited  from  his  foresight.  Gen- 
erally they  have  been  able  to  get  the  books 
most  in  demand  at  the  right  prices. 

John  Daggett,  writing  of  Henry  E.  Hunt- 
ington  in  the  Los  Angeles  Times,  says  that 
"twelve  years  ago  Mr.  Huntington  did  not 
possess  any  more  books  than  the  average  suc- 
cessful business  man  who  has  a  leaning  tow- 
ard literature.  His  achievement  of  to-day  is 
the  result  of  the  application  of  those  same 
qualities  which  made  him  a  successful  busi- 
ness man.  Organization,  concentration  and 
foresight  responding  to  a  conviction  impelled 
him  to  grasp  am  opportunity  never  before 
offered  in  the  world's  history — the  fact  that 
by  a  coincidence  a  number  of  the  largest 
private  libraries  became  available  thru  sale 
within  a  short  period  of  years.  Counting  not 
the  cost,  Mr.  Huntington's  self -voiced  convic- 
tion was  to  consolidate  those  nrivate  libraries 
which  represented  the  life  efforts  of  notable 
connoisseurs.  No  more  startlinsr  achievement 


can   be    found   in    the   ami.iN   <>     finance  than 
the   fulfillment  of    Mr.    Hunting. m'>   vision." 

The  Revue  de  Mondes  of  Paris  has  recentl) 
published  a   lot  of  letters  written  during  the 
early  years  of  the   last  century  by   Lai ;., 
and    never    published    before.  '  In'  the 
duction  Comte    d'Haissonville  of  the  French 
Academy  declares  that  Lafayette'*   fame  and 
popularity    has    greatly    increased    in    France 
since  General  Pershing  landed  on  French  soil 
and  that  the  editing  of  these  letters  has  been 
a   labor  of   love.     The  letters   now   pul>lUhe<i 
have  been  preserved  for  more  than  a  century 
by  the  heirs  of  Mme.  de  Steel.    Some  of  them 
date  from  the  time  he  was  a  prisoner  of  the

A  novel  by  HERBERT  QUICK 

YOUNG,  stolid,  slow,  but  sure  in  the  way  of  his  Dutch  ancestors,  a  fatherless, 
motherless  dreamer,  Jake  is  of  true  pioneer  stuff. 

As  a  little  lad  he  had  run  away  from  home  to  escape  the  cruelties  of  his 
stepfather,  and  for  several  years  worked  as  a  canal-boat  driver  along  the  old  Erie 
Canal.  Then  homesick  for  the  sight  of  his  mother,  he  returned  home,  only  to 
find  that  she  and  her  husband  have  gone  West.  He  followed  on,  through  the 
Canal,  the  Lakes,  overland — to  end,  heartsick  and  alone,  in  the  surging  westward 
waves  of  pioneers. 

Slowly  driving  across  the  prairies  behind  growing  teams  of  cows  he  finds  romance 
— and  loses  it.  Taking  his  place  in  the  activities  of  a  new  Iowa  county,  he  meets 
adventure.  Growing  to  full  manhood  he  endures  trouble  and  success,  poverty

EXPLORERS    OF    THE    DAWN 

By  Mazo  de  la  Roche 

Christopher  Morley,  in  his  introduction  to  this  novel  by  a  new 
American  writer,  says:  "So  truly  charming,  so  felicitous  in  subtle 
touches  of  humor,  so  tenderly  moved  with  an  under-running  cur- 
rent of  wistfulness,  that  surely  will  it  find  its  own  lovers.  .  .  who 
will  look  through  it  into  the  Almost  Forgotten  Land  of  Child- 
hood." It  is  the  story  of  three  boys — but  not  a  juvenile.

STEPHEN 

FRENCH 

WHITMAN 


a6i 


"A  born  writer !"  one  exclaims.  Well,  Stephen  French  Whitman  always  lias  written. 
At  school  he  wrote  for  and  edited  the  school  magazine;  at  college  he  performed 
like  offices  for  the  college  humorous  paper.  Graduating  from  Princeton, 
travelled  around  the  world;  and  during  the  three  years  following  his  writing  for 
a  newspaper  was  interspersed  with  further  travels.  His  feature  articles  for  the 
New  York  Sun,  at  this  time,  he  himself  illustrated.  Turning  to  fiction,  his  many 
short  stories  appeared  in  the  popular  magazines.  With  "Predestined"  he  entered 
the  field  of  the  novel.  During  these  years  of  writing  he  has  travelled  much,  and 
lived  abroad,  chiefly  in  Italy.  He  is  unmarried.  He  finds  great  interest  in  the 
motion  pictures,  not  so  much  for  what  they  are  but  for  the  possibilities  for  develop- 
ment of  them.  His  other  hobbies  are  various;  listed,  his  fondnesses  include,  "fox- 
trots, Stravinsky,  chocolate  ice-cream,  blondes,  brunettes,  swimming,  sitting  in 
motion  picture  studios,  Anatole  France,  Vanity  Fair,  white  bull  terriers,  gondolas, 
Charles  Chaplin,  the  Fifteenth  Century  and  the  Early  Roman  Empire."  In  this 
much-travelled  novelist  whose  interests  are  as  varied  as  they  are  modern,  can  be 
discerned  a  man  who  knows  strange  lands,  who  feels  the 
romance  and  drama  of  life  and  who  expresses  them  fiction- 
ally  in  an  unusual  vein  of  romantic  realism,  displaying  an 
ability  to  write  which  stamps  him  as  a  master  of  style. 

"SACRIFICE"  is  Stephen  French  Whitman's  new  novel. 
Eminently  characteristic  of  him.  its  story  is  of  a  woman 
for  whom  comes  sacrifice  in  scenes  of  vivid  drama,  of 
compelling  love. 

Love  comes  to  <her  with  Teck,  an  African  explorer,  whom  she 
marries,  but  who  disappears,  reported  dead  in  the  depths  of  the 
jungle.  The  love  of  three  other  men  pursues  her;  and  she 
sacrifices  herself  in  marriage  to  a  health-stricken  genius,  who 
needs  iher  inspiration.  Then  comes  word  that  perhaps  Teck  stil 
lives,  and  in  following  the  jungle  trail,  all  for  the  sake  of  love. 
she  makes  the  greatest  sacrifice  of  all  in  the  conquering  of  her 
fears  amid  exotic  dangers.  <i  net

Garden 

Without 

Walls 

By 

Coningsby 
Dawson 


One  of  the 
greatest  love  stories 
of  the  present  age 

""THE  Garden  Without  Walls" 
•*•  was  first  published  in  1913.  Al- 
most over  night  it  made  its  author 
famous.  It  became  one  of  the  most 
widely-discussed  novels  of  years, 
and  the  demand  for  it  increased 
steadily  until,  with  the  beginning 
of  the  war,  new  literary  material 
demanded  the  attention  of  author 
and  public  alike. 

The  tremendous  amount  of  pub- 
licity Mr.  Dawson  has  been  receiv- 
ing during  the  past  two  years  has 
brought  about  a  renewed  demand 


AUTHOR    OF   "THE    KINGDOM 
ROUND  THE  CORNER1' 


for  this  delightful  novel,  which  has 
been  for  some  time  out  of  print. 
On  the  jacket  of  Mr.  Dawson's  new 
book  to  be  published  this  spring, 
and  in  his  extensive  magazine  and 
newspaper  advertising,  "The  Gar- 
den Without  Walls"  and  "The 
Kingdom  Round  the  Corner"  will 
be  prominently  featured. 

That  is  why,  like  a  famous  old 
play  that  will  never  die,  ''The  Gar- 
den Without  Walls"  is  now  being 
revived  by  Cosmopolitan  to  meet  a 
growing  demand.

THL  GREAT 
PRINCE  SHAN 

By 

E.  PHILLIPS  OPPENHEIM 

Author  of  THE  GREAT  IMPERSONATION 


<J  Will  the  League  of  Nations  and  the  disarmament  agree- 
ments remove  all  threats  of  war?  Or  will  Oppenheim  again 
prove  to  be  a  true  prophet?  In  "The  Great  Prince  Shan" 
he  deals  with  world  politics  in  1934;  and  this  time,  while 
Germany,  hating  England  for  the  Treaty  of  Versailles,  has  a 
share  in  the  plot,  Russia,  which  refused  to  join  the  League, 
and  Japan  and  China,  both  withdrawn  from  it,  are  the 
principal  factors.  America  stands  aloof  and  watchful.  France 
remains  convinced  that  militarism  is  its  only  safe  policy,  while 
England,  practically  disarmed,  resting  comfortably  in  the 
false  security  of  the  League  of  Nations,  is  the  objective. 

*I  By  1934  civilization  will  have  progressed  rapidly,  scientific 
marvels  of  today  will  have  become  commonplace  affairs, 
while  warfare  will  have  been  raised  to  the  point  where 
instant  annihilation  of  entire  cities  is  possible.  Ambition 
plays  the  same  havoc  with  men  and  with  nations,  and 
romance  is  never  dying.  "The  Great  Prince  Shan"  makes 
a  fascinating  and  absorbing  tale  that  will  rank  with  Oppen- 
heim's  finest  work.

has  already  won  a  brilliant  position  among  American 
authors.  Harper  &  Brothers  will  bring  out  his  first 
novel  this  season.  Hallet's  contacts  with  life  have  been 
astonishing.  After  distinguishing  himself  at  a  great 
university,  he  shipped  as  a  sailor  in  a  cattle  boat,  spent 
five  astonishing  months  in  the  Australian  Bush,  stoked  on 
a  freighter  and  fought  in  the  war.  He  was  writing  all 
the  while  and  making  permanent  devotees  of  those  who 
love  the  work  of  a  born  story  teller.  In  America  he 
sought  gold  and  experience  from  North  to  South.  Then 
he  wrote 


THE  CANYON 
OF  THE  FOOLS 


It  is  full  of  the  picaresque  characters  whose  slang 
is  of  the  racy  soil  in  which  they  grow,  and  of  a  humor 
imparted  to  Hallet  from  life  and  which  he  infuses  into 
these  striking  people  of  the  story. 

It  is  the  dashing  tale  of  a  young  fellow  who  n 
took  up  theology,  then  thought  of  osteopathy,  and  finally 
decided  upon  love  and  hunting  for  gold  near  the  Mexican 
border.  But  it  is  the  story  also  of  a  fascinating  type  of 
American  girl— a  business  girl  whose  romance  lay  only 
about  a  half  inch  under  the  surface  of  her  business  life. 

Robert  McCarty  did  not  dream  that  his  trip  to  Cali- 
fornia would  end  in  The  Canyon  of  the  Fools,  a  place 
near  the   Mexican  border  -where  endless  people  wasted 
their  years  looking  for  the  gold  they  never  found, 
in  Chicago  he  met  May  Gowdy  who  was  going  to  th< 
canyon   to   see  what   had  become   of   her   fiance,   Jim 
Harper      So  Robert  decided  to  go  too.     And  what  a 
mix-up!    A  Mexican  general,  his  beautiful,  temper; 
mental  wife,  the  discovery  of  why  Jim  Harper 
not  claim  his  fiancee,  and  Robert's  and  Mays  develj 
ing  love,  make  a  story  of  excitement  told  with  chuckl

THE  AMERICAN    BOOK   TRADE  JOURNAL 
Founded   by  F.  Leypoldt 

February  4,  1922 

"/  hold  every  man  a  debtor  to  his  profession, 
from  the  which,  as  men  of  course  do  seek  to 
receive  countenance  and  profit,  so  ought  they  of 
duty  to  endeavor  themselves,  by  way  of  amends, 
to  be  a  help  and  ornament  thereunto." — BACON. 


Book  Suppression 

THE  question  of  restrictions  on  the  pub- 
lishing and  circulating  of  books  has  been 
coming  forward  more  strongly  than  ever 
in  the  last  two  years  and  taking  many  forms, 
all  of  which  need  full  discussion  and  clarifica- 
tion in  order  that  the  reading  public  and  the 
distributors    may    be    in    any    measure    saved 
from  the  irritation  of  these  conditions. 

An  article  on  this  subject  well  worth  careful 
consideration  was  published  in  the  Yale  Review 
of  January  entitled  "Art  and  Decency"  by  Pro- 
fessor Grant  Showerman,  professor  of  classics 
in  the  University  of  Wisconsin.  This  discussion 
has  been  taken  up  and  further  elaborated  by  an 
interview  printed  in  the  New  York  Herald  of 
January  15th.  Professor  Showerman  has  pro- 
posed a  helpful  line  for  discussion  to  take  in 
directing  his  comments  toward  the  establish- 
ment of  "a  line  of  decency  in  fiction"  rather 
than  to  a  continuance  of  the  discussion  of  the 
effect  of  the  laws  on  our  statute  books.  A 
court  action  of  the  past  week  will  make  this 
subject  of  still  further  interest.  John  G. 
Kidd,  of  Stewart  Kidd  Company,  has  appeared 
before  a  United  States  Commissioner  at  Cincin- 
nati on  a  case  presented  by  the  Post  Office 
Inspector,  who  charged  the  Stewart  Kidfd 
Company  with  sending  thru  the  American 
Railway  Express  to  Michigan  a  copy  of  the 
English  translation  of  "Rabelais."  Here  is  a 
clear-cut  case  in  a  government  court  of  a  book 
that  is  unquestionably  one  of  the  great  world 
classics  and  whose  suppression  would  be  un- 
fortunate from  any  point  of  view.  The  case 
is  to  appear  before  the  United  States  Grand 
Jury  in  April,  and  the  whole  book-trade  will 
be  interested  to  give  its  support  in  any  fight 
that  Mr.  Kidd  makes  on  this  case. 

In  the  case  of  new  publications,  the  statutes 
under  which  restrictions  are  brought  fall  into 
a  different  field.  These  statutes  are  state 


laws,  and  the  last  very  prominent  case,  that  of 
"Jurgen,"  was  brought  in  the  New  York 
Courts.  Each  case  in  this  field  must  »till  be 
considered  by  itself,  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that 
some  day  soon  a  letter  method  of  getting 
judgment  will  be  found  than  that  which  brings 
them  before  a  magistrate  for  a  decision  usually 
given  by  one  who  cannot  fully  understand 
literature  and  the  public's  needs  in  this  matter. 
The  effort  to  firing  altout  tetter  corvl 
in  the  case  of  classics  and  of  present  literature 
should  not  cloud  the  fact  that  there  is  now 
and  always  will  be  some  need  of  restraint  in 
the  general  circulation  of  books  and  pi*  • 
So  prominent  a  critic  as  Heywood  Broun  ha» 
claimed  in  his  column  that  he  believes  no  re- 
strictions are  justified  and  that  if  he  had  had 
free  access  as  a  boy  to  some  of  the  books  that 
are  unanimously  considered  lewd,  he  would 
have  been  none  the  worse  off  in  coming  to 
years  of  maturity.  This  opinion,  however,  i* 
far  from  being  universal. 

The  term  "booklegging''  has  l>cen  invented 
to  describe  a  good  deal  of  this  type  of  book- 
selling, the  discontinuance  of  which  might 
leave  some  booksellers  the  poorer  but  would 
leave  the  whole  atmosphere  of  bookselling 
clear.  Public  arguments  of  the  unquestionable 
right  to  sell  "Rabelais,"  "The  Decameron"  and 
"Arabian  Nights"  should  be  no  smoke-screen 
to  cover  a  "booklegging"  business  in  titles  that 
do  not  even  approach  what  would  l)e  called  "the 
line  of  decency  in  fiction."  The  type  of  book  that 
a  bookseller  cannot  sell  without  having  a  lower 
respect  for  his  customer  and  a  lower  respect 
for  himself  is  the  type  of  book  that  should  Iw 
completely  eliminated  from  the  commerce  of 
the  bookstore,  and  its  elimination  would  help 
clear  the  air  so  that  the  status  of  books  of 
recognized  value,  whether  old  or  new,  could 
be  more  clearly  discussed. 

The  bookseller  who  tries  to  fill  the  just  re- 
quirements   of    readers    of    world    literature 
would  be  relieved  if  the  public  would  clear  it* 
own  mind  a  little  in  its  aspect  toward  its  book 
purchases.    The  reader  who  has  so  little  know- 
ledge of  what  "The  Decameron"  or  "Rabelais" 
is  that  he  cannot  ask  for  it  in  a  bookstore  with- 
out whispering,  or  who  would  not  care  to  carry 
either  one  into  his  own  home  or  have  it  seen 
on   his   bookshelves    is   giving   insult   t. 
great  pieces  of  writing  and  belittling  himv-lf 
in  the  eyes  of  everyone  who  hears  him  •': 
these  books.     A  good,  strong,  purifying  gale 
ought  to  blow  thru  this  whole  situation,  carry-, 
ing  out  to  sea  for  permanent  burial  a  lot  of

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


"booklegging"  merchandise  and  leaving  clear  to 
the  public  approach  those  books,  whether  old 
or  new,  which  embody  the  product  of  a  mind 
of  real  imagination  and  literary  power. 

The  Peak  of  Sales 

THE  Federal  Reserve  Bank  in  the  New 
York  district  -has  just  published  an  an- 
nual summary  of  its  studies  of  retail 
business  activity  in  the  district,  and  one  of 
the  interesting  charts  is  that  which  shows  how 
retail  sales  in  department  stores  vary  from 
month  to  month.  In  some  respects  this  chart 
will  be  a  surprise  to  those  who  have  considered 
that  from  winter  on  sales  were  likely  to  show 
a  month  to  month  decrease.  These  reports 
cover  all  departments.  Many  of  these  do  not 
have  the  peak  of  the  holidays,  which  is  so 
prominent  in  the  book  business  and  other  lines 
strongly  associated  in  the  people's  minds  with 
gifts. 

Taking  the  stores  as  a  whole,  the  lowest 
months  are  August  and  then  July;  the  highest, 
December  with  14%  of  the  total;  October  and 
November,  practically  even  at  10.2%  and  10.1%. 
The  strength  of  the  spring  season  is  indicated 
by  the  fact  that  after  March  at  8.1%  comes 
April  at  8.4%,  May  with  8.5%  and  June  with 
8.3%.  As  the  average  of  twelve  months  must, 
of  course,  be  8  1/3%,  there  is  in  this  an  indica- 
tion of  the  buying  strength  of  the  spring  sea- 
son which  is  worth  while  keeping  in  mind. 

The  Year  Round  Bookselling  Committee  has 
been  sending  out  a  strong  series  of  suggestions 
to  booksellers,  in  which,  after  February  with 
its  emphasis  on  America's  making  there  comes 
March  when  there  is  emphasis  on  Useful  Books, 
both  in  the  office  and  in  the  home,  then  Re- 
ligious Book  Week,  then  Back-to-Nature 
Books,  then  the  graduation  and  wedding  pres- 
ent season.  With  these  concrete  helps  and  with 
the  conviction  in  everybody's  mind  that  book- 
selling is  to  be  made  a  really  year  round  busi- 
ness, there  ought  to  be  a  strengthening  of  the 
spring  business  and  greater  general  confidence 
in  the  ability  to  get  sales  during  that  season. 

Missouri  Book  Week 

THE  libraries  of  Missouri  have  selected  the 
week  of  February  I2th-i8th  to  put  the  book 
completely  into  the  minds  and  consciousness  of 
every  town  and  city  in  the  state.  The  Missouri 
Book  Week  Committee  consists  of  Charles  H. 
Compton,  Assistant  Librarian  of  St.  Louis.  R.  E. 


Lucas  of  the  Missouri  Stores  Company,  Colum- 
bia, Mo.,  and  Jean  Cameron.  The  week  has 
been  placed  in  February  to  help  in  the  aid  of  the 
drive  for  more  county  libraries,  some  of  the 
counties  reaching  a  vote  on  April  ist. 

The  Committee  bnings  together  all  of  the  dif- 
ferent types  of  book  interests,  as  has  been  done 
in  such  campaigns  as  Children's  Book  Week. 
Newspapers  are  to  have  articles  on  books,  local 
committees  are  urged  to  arrange  for  meetings 
with  effective  speakers,  bookstores  are  to  have 
special  displays,  and  book  exhibits  are  to  be 
arranged  in  other  stores,  if  possible.  The 
schools  are  now  being  approached  thru  their 
superintendents,  women's  clubs  are  being  circu- 
larized, and  exhibits  arranged,  such  as  "Books 
for  Home  Libraries,"  "Books  by  Local 
Authors,"  etc. 

The  State  Library  Association,  which  has 
started  this  movement,  wishes  to  get  book  con- 
sciousness into  everyone's  mind,  believing  that 
the  support  of  the  libraries  will  be  increased 
by  a  more  general  understanding  of  the  im- 
portance of  the  book,  and  such  interest  will 
prepare  the  way  for  wider  support  of  city 
libraries,  county  libraries  and  home  libraries. 

Religious  Book  Week  Plans 

PLANS  are  going  forward  toward  an  inter- 
esting and  stimulating  Religious  Book,  Week 
The  religious  book  publishers  are  sending 
special  announcements  to  the  bookstores  and  to 
church  organizations,  and  letters  from  the  re- 
ligious press  indicate  that  there  will  be  many 
special  book  reviewing  issues  during  March  and 
early  April. 

At  the  meeting  of  religious  book  publishers 
on  January  5th,  it  was  decided  that  the  em- 
phasis this  year  should  be  placed  on  religious 
education  in  the  home ;  the  enrichment  given  by 
good  books  to  the  life  of  the  family.  The 
poster  will  carry  this  idea.  Periodicals  will 
probably  feature  articles  on  reading  aloud  in 
the  home,  on  Sabbath  reading,  on  books  the 
family  can  enjoy  together,  or  similar  subjects. 

It  has  been  suggested  that  interesting  articles 
could  be  obtained  by  getting  statements  from 
ministers  and  laymen  for  February  and  March 
magazines,  of  the  "three  books  of  the  past  year 
that  influenced  me  most"  or  the  "three  books  of 
1921  that  interested  my  congregation  most."  If 
a  number  of  such  statements  could  be  had  it 
would  undoubtedly  be  the  basis  for  interesting 
comment  and  quotation  in  the  Religious  Book 
Week  numbers  of  the  magazines.  Articles 
from  clergymen  on  "How  I  introduce  books 
to  my  people" — (thru  mention  in  sermons, 
talks  in  church  schools,  church  libraries,  "shelf- 
less"  libraries,  etc.) — are  also  suggested.

The  Successful  Rental  Library 

By  Marion  Humble 


A  CIRCULATING  Library  or  Rental  Li- 
brary can  be,  when  well-conducted  a 
desirable  department  for  a  book-store  or 
general  store,  as  has  been  proved  by  the  expe- 
rience of  many.  It  requires  very  little  capital 
and  will  finance  its  own  increase ;  the  operating 
expense  is  light,  and  it  shows  a  good  profit. 

Besides  showing  a  good  profit  itself,  a  rental 
library  has  the  additional  value  of  bringing 
good  customers  to  the  store  with  a  regularity 
that  can  be  accomplished  by  no  other  type  of 
business.  One  merchant  with  a  good  library 
in  charge  of  one  salesman  found  that  it  brought 
into  his  store  on  the  average  of  one  hundred 
people  a  day,  week  in  and  week  out,  and  showed 
a  net  year's  profit  of  over  $1000  above  a  space 
charge  for  rent,  salary,  miscellaneous  expenses 
and  book  purchases. 

The  general  store  will  thus  find  it  a  new 
department  worth  considering  and  the  large 
book  shop  will  find  that  it  brings  people  into 
the  store  who  have  not  learned  to  buy  books, 
but  whose  curiosity  about  specific  books  is 
aroused  by  advertisements,  or  those  whose  in- 
terest in  reading  is  perhaps  transient,  but  who 
are  willing  enough  to  pay  a  small  rental  fee. 
Customers  of  the  rental  library  are  constantly 
exposed  to  the  lure  of  other  books  in  the  store, 
to  the  atmosphere  of  the  store,  to  the  ingen- 
uity of  the  clerks'  sales  talk;  and  experience 
has  shown  that  each  borrower  usually  becomes 
a  buyer.  The  list  of  borrowers  adds  to  the 
store's  mailing  list,  and  personal  direct  adver- 
tising to  these  borrowers  often  results  in  sales. 

The  alert  merchant  will  not  rest  content 
until  he  has  at  least  made  the  borrowers  of  his 
rental  books  start  the  habit  of  book  buying. 
His  ultimate  success  in  this  of  course  depends 
on  the  quality  of  his  service. 

Location  in  the  Store 
The  location  of  the  rental  collection  is  very 
important  not  only  in  contributing  to  its  own 
success,  but  in  attracting  its  patrons  to  pur- 
chases. It  should  not  be  at  the  entrance  to  the 
store,  so  that  a  borrower  can  slip  in  and  out 
without  seeing  the  displays  on  tables  and 
shelves.  It  is  most  often  at  the  back  of  the 
store,  on  the  mezzanine  floor  or  in  a  well 
lighted  basement,  so  that  those  who  come  to 
the  rental  desk  must  pass  by  sales  tables  and 
attractive  displays.  Usually  book  borrowers 
like  to  look  over  a  number  of  books  before 
they  choose,  and  if  the  collection  is  at  the  end 
of  the  store  or  in  an  alcove  it  will  not  impede 
passage  back  and  forth. 


Books  to  be  Rented 

The  selection  of  titles  for  this  library  should 
be  made  with  care.  At  the  start  it  should 
include  the  titles  which  arc  obviously  the  most 
popular,  the  books  just  out,  most  advertised, 
most  talked  about,  most  asked  for  in  libraries 
and  stores.  First,  the  newest  fiction;  and  it  is 
an  important  feature  that  these  be  available  as 
near  the  date  of  publication  as  possible.  Second. 
popular  fiction  of  the  past  year,  and  earlier 
books  by  authors  whose  current  books  are  in 
the  limelight.  Good  suggestions  as  to  the  books 
most  in  demand  can  be  obtained  from  any  job- 
ber whose  business  gives  him  a  very  accurate 
insight  into  popular  demands,  from  the  local 
public  library  which  usually  keeps  a  record  of 
the  books  for  which  there  are  special  request* 
and  reservations,  or  from  published  lists  of 
"best  sellers."  In  a  bookstore  the  sales  records 
are  of  course  an  indication.  Third,  non-fiction 
in  greatest  demand.  There  are  a  few  outstand- 
ing titles  each  year  that  are  much  advertised 
and  talked  about  as  fiction.  This  field  is  not  as 
easy  to  cultivate  as  the  fiction  field  but  is  well 
worth  while. 

The  collection  might  be  started  with  fifty  t« 
one  hundred  books,  including  duplicate  copies 
of  the  most  popular  titles.  These  can  be  added 
to  as  demand  grows,  and  as  new  titles  are  pub- 
lished. Books  should  also  be  removed  as  they 
become  worn,  or  stale  on  the  shelves.  In  busy 
stores  two  or  three  hundred  books  or  even  more 
will  be  needed  as  a  nucleus,  and  the  collection 
may  run  up  to  one  or  two  thousand.  It  is  a 
common  experience  to  find  that  two  desirable 
books  are  needed  for  every  active  user.  That 
is,  in  a  collection  of  300  books,  150  would  be 
out  in  use,  and  150  on  the  shelves  for  the  next 
comer. 

Finances 
Accounts. 

The  financial  records  of  rental  books  should 
be  kept  absolutely  separate  from  the  other  re- 
cords of  the  store.  This  collection  should  be 
considered  as  a  department  in  itself,  and  must 
be  made  to  pay  for  its  own  floor  space,  salaries, 
supplies,  and  show  its  own  profits  and  losses. 
A  permanent  record  of  accessions  and  with- 
drawals should  be  kept  either  on  card*  nr  in  a 
record  book,  to  show  for  each  hook :  ( I  >  author. 
(2)  title,  (3)  date  of  addition,  fj 
copy  number,  (6)  total  receipts  from  rentals. 
(7)  number  of  times  borrowed.  (S)  date  of 
withdrawal,  (9)  receipt  from  sale  or  transfer 
to  stock,  (10)  net  profit  or  loss. 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


If  this  record  is  kept  on  cards,  the  card  for 
a  'book  is  withdrawn  when  the  book  is  with- 
drawn from  the  rental  collection,  and  two  files 
of  cards  (i)  books  in  rental  collection,  (2) 
books  withdrawn  permanently  from  rental  col- 
lection, will  give  a  complete  record  of  costs  and 
receipts  of  each  volume.  Whether  the  records 
are  kept  in  an  accession  book  or  on  cards,  they 
should  be  balanced  frequently  and  a  balance 
sheet  kept  to  show  weekly  net  profits  and 
losses. 

Cash  should  be  totaled  daily  and  entered  in 
an  account  book,  which  should  also  hold  entries 
of  all  expenditures.  This  should  be  balanced 
weekly. 

The  book  cards  will  keep  the  records  of 
moneys  taken  in  by  each  book,  and  number 
of  times  each  is  borrowed.  This  latter  record 
is  not  a  necessity,  but  affords  data  for  interest- 
ing study  of  the  use  of  the  book.  These  book 
cards  also  provide  records  necessary  to  locate 
overdue  books. 

It  seems  fair  to  have  the  rental  copies  of 
books  entered  at  cost  price,  that  is,  cost  as  pur- 
chased from  publisher  or  jobber,  or  as  pur- 
chased from  the  book  department  of  the  store, 
perhaps  at  the  price  which  would  be  made  to  a 
public  library.  When  books  have  outlived  their 
usefulness  in  this  collection,  they  can  be  sold  on 
bargain  counters  either  in  the  rental  department 
or  thru  the  retail  department  which  would 
then  be  allowed  a  margin  of  profit  for  the  sales 
effort. 

What  to  Charge. 

There  are  two  chief  methods  of  charge  for 
rental  books,  each  used  with  variations.  The 
first  is  a  straight  rental  fee.  Perhaps  the  most 
currently  used  charge  is  three  cents  a  day,  with 
a  minimum  charge  of  ten  or  fifteen  cents.  The 
overhead  costs  hardly  make  it  worth  while  to 
rent  a  book  for  less  than  ten  cents.  In  some 
cases  the  minimum  charge  is  twenty-five  cents 
a  week,  with  an  added  charge  of  two  or  three 
cents  per  day  for  each  day  over  the  week.  This 
weekly  charge  simplifies  bookkeeping ;  but  the 
extra  over-time  charge  is  a  little  more  confus- 
ing to  borrowers  than  the  straight  charge  per 
day.  Some  libraries  have  a  lower  fee  for  re- 
prints and  all  place  increased  fees  on  non-fic- 
tion of  over  two  dollars  list  price. 

The  second  method  is  to  charge  a  member- 
ship fee,  one  or  two  dollars  per  year.  This 
usually  takes  the  form  of  a  deposit.  The  first 
deposit  entitles  the  borrower  to  one  book  at  a 
time;  he  makes  an  extra  depostit  if  he  wishes  an 
extra  book,  and  any  deposit  is  returned  to  him 
whenever  he  wishes,  minus  outstanding  charges. 
In  one  store  the  membership  fee  is  the  purchase 
of  one  new  book  every  six  months.  With  a 
subscription  fee  large  enough  to  practically 
cover  the  cost  of  a  book,  say  $1.50  each,  the 
dealer  is  insured  against  loss,  and  the  library 


finances  itself.  Some  libraries  ask  for  de- 
posit only  with  out-of-town  and  transient  cus- 
tomers in  order  to  protect  against  possible  non- 
return of  books. 

Store  Expenses. 

A  certain  proportion  of  the  rent  of  the  store 
should  be  carried  by  the  rental  library ;  as 
should  also  its  share  of  stationery,  postage  and 
publicity.  Even  tho  this  is  a  small  item,  careful 
records  of  these  expenses  will  be  useful  in  proof 
of  the  profit  made  by  the  library  independent 
of  the  store. 

General  Bookkeeping. 

Every  business,  large  or  small,  needs  to  have 
records  that  will  accurately  indicate  its  general 
financial  status.  A  Rental  Library  introduces 
an  element  of  depreciation  which  goes  on  stead- 
ily with  each  book.  Many  library  owners  have 
deceived  themselves  as  to  their  profits  by  mak- 
ing no  allowance  out  of  the  receipts  of  each 
month  for  this  depreciation. 

One  simple  way  of  watching  accounts  from 
month  to  month  and  of  setting  a  value  on  the 
whole  collection  for  use  in  annual  inventory  is 
to  consider  arbitrarily  the  average  value  of  each 
book  at  some  fixed  figure  say,  80  cents.  That 
is,  if  books  are  worth  about  $1.40  when  they 
go  in,  and  20  cents  when  they  come  out,  the 
average  is  80  cents. 

The  monthly  record  then  reads :

Preparation    of    Books 

A  book  wrapper  for  each  rental  book,  put 
on  freshly  at  the  time  of  delivery,  not  only 
protects  the  lxx>k  but  also  serves  as  an  adver- 
tisement of  the  library.  A  wrapper  of  black, 
or  bright  orange  or  some  other  brilliant  color, 
with  the  store  name  and  address  and  the  words 
"Rental  Library,  Three  Cents  a  Day,"  is  cheap 
advertising  and  goes  wherever  the  borrower 
goes,  thru  the  streets,  into  the  theater,  into  the 
home.  With  no  wrapper,  the  book  is  apt  to  get 
mixed  with  public  library  books  or  with  the 
borrower's  own  books  and  put  on  the  home 
library  shelves  when  it  has  been  read. 

No  marks  are  necessary  in  the  book  itself, 
except  an  accession  or  copy  number  to  identify 


February  4,   1922 

the  particular  volume.  Such  a  number  can 
well  be  placed  on  the  inside  front  cover,  or  on 
the  first  fly  leaf.  Perhaps  the  latter  is  the  bet- 
ter location,  as  this  leaf  can  be  removed  if  the 
book  is  later  placed  on  sale.  This  fly  leaf,  or 
a  slip  pasted  on  it,  can  also  be  used  for  stamp- 
ing the  dates  books  are  borrowed.  The  book 
cover  flaps  are  an  appropriate  place  for  printing 
suggestions  to  borrowers;  and  if  desired,  one 
flap  can  be  used  for  the  announcement  of  sta- 
tionery or  magazine  department.

It  is  a  good  plan  for  keeping  stock  reduced  to 
have  a  very  small  slip  pasted  inside  the  from 
cover,  saying,  "This  book,  with  fee  now  due, 
may  be  purchased  for  $2.00,"  or  $1.50  or  $i.w 
or  soc,  the  price  being  slightly  lowered  each 
month  as  the  book  shows  wear,  or  as  H  >~™TTft 
apparent  that  the  demand  for  that  particular 
volume  is  lessening.

Further  Discussion  on  Library  Discounts 


IN  our  issue  of  November  ipth,  we  carried 
some  comment  on  book  prices  and  library  dis- 
counts based  on  the  publication  by  the  Ameri- 
can Library  Association  Committee  on  Book 
Buying  of  an  article  entitled  "How  to  Import." 
This  comment  of  ours  has  brought  out  much 
discussion  and  criticism  of  our  point  of  view 
from  the  chairman  of  the  A.  L.  A.  Committee. 
The  reason  for  further  comment  is  that  these 
figures  have  again  been  used,  this  time  before 
the  Senate  Committee  on  Finance  and  the  hear- 
ing on  tariff,  and,  if  they  are  to  be  the  continu- 
ing basis  of  discussion  of  (the  prices  quoted  to 
American  libraries  by  the  American  book-trade, 
a  further  consideration  of  the  facts  is  pertinent. 
The  original  article  on  "How  to  Import"  was 
published  by  the  Committee  in  order  to  point 
out  to  librarians  that  it  was  advantageous  and 
simple  to  order  as  many  books  as  possible  from 
England.  In  emphasizing  the  advantage,  a  list 
of  twenty-five  titles  of  1920  and  1921  date  was 
printed  with  a  column  of  the  "London  list  price" 
and  "Price  to  Libraries,"  "American  list  price" 
and  "Price  to  Libraries."  In  reference  to  these 
figures  the  article  said:  "Here  is  a  bill  for 
twenty-five  new  English  books  recently  pur- 
chased by  a  Western  Library  of  fifty  thousand 
volumes  from  a  well  known  London  dealer.  In 
parallel  columns  were  the  prices  asked  by  the 
American  handlers  of  these  stocks.  Both 
columns  are  bona-fide,  the  one  based  on  actual 
invoice,  the  other  upon  quotation  given  on  re- 
quest. Both  include  carriage." 

The  column  entitled  American  "Price  to  Li- 
braries appeared  to  be  about  six  to  seven  per- 
cent below  the  list  prices  except  on  one  twenty- 
four  dollar  book,  which  they  had  priced  at  four- 
teen dollars  and  thirty-six  cents.  The  PUBLISH- 
ERS' WEEKLY  felt  itself  within  the  bounds  of  • 
fact  when  it  stated  in  fits  article  of  Novem- 
ber ipth :  "In  giving  the  figures  as  to  the 
cost  of  these  twenty-five  titles  if  bought 
in  America,  the  library  discounts  are  figured 
at  about  six  to  seven  per-cent  from  list 
prices.  If  there  is  any  one  of  the  three  librar- 
ians who  signed  the  report  who  buys  at  that  rate 


or  who  believes  that  it  is  a  current  rate  of 
library  discount,  the  book-trade  will  indeed  be 
surprised." 

At  the  Library  Council  meeting  jn  Chicago. 
Dr.  Raney  again  referred  to  these  figures  as 
being  a  reason  to  suspect  the  American  book- 
trade  of  bad  practices,  and,  as  he  stated  that  the 
person  from  whom  the  figures  were  obtained 
was  a  member  of  the  Council,  the  PUBUSHEXS' 
WEEKLY  wrote  to  him  and  asked  if  the  name 
of  the  library  could  be  known.  In  reply.  Dr. 
Raney  says :  "In  the  list  printed  in  the  Library 
Journal  of  November  1st  I  have  as  yet  failed 
to  discover  any  error.  The  Western  librarian 
of  a  fifty  thousand  volume  collection  asked  that 
his  name  be  not  disclosed  when  the  text  was 
sent  in.  As  stated  in  the  article,  the  price  to 
the  library  given  immediately  after  the  London 
list  price  is  the  one  actually  charged  to  this 
librarian  by  a  London  agent  after  all  transpor- 
tation charges  had  been  met.  As  likewise  stat- 
ed, the  American  list  price  and  the  correspond- 
ing price  to  the  library,  delivered  by  the  pub- 
lishers, was  secured  by  me  on  direct  applica- 
tion to  the  publishers.  The  discount  was  the 
discount  in  each  case  given  by  the  publisher 
on  such  request,  and  to  it  was  added  the  trans- 
portation charge  given  by  the  publisher  as 
the  one  which  would  be  added  to  the  price 
of  the  book  thus  discounted.  The  article  toM 
you  that,  but,  as  in  other  instances,  you  have 
insisted  upon  reading  something  into  the  article 
which  I  did  not  say." 

A  re-reading  of  the  paragraph  quoted  above 
from  the  article  which  accompanied  the  orig- 
inal figures  does  not  seem  to  justify  Dr.  Raney 
in  his  emphasis  on  the  fact  that  he  had  made 
the  character  of  the  quotations  used  perfectly 
clear.  The  English  library  prices  were  based 
on  a  bill  from  a  London  agent  with  the  books 
sent  over  by  post,  which  is  the  cheapest  way 
to  buy  from  England.  The  American  library 
prices  were  on  item  by  item  quotations  from 
a  dozen  different  publishers  with  separate 
postage  on  each,  the  most  expensive  method  to 
buy  In  the  United  States.  The  same  list  of 


274 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


books  priced  by  an  American  agent  and  deliv- 
ered prepaid  would  have  been  at  least  ten 
dollars  less.  There  seems  to  be  no  reason  why 
higher  figures  should  have  been  used  for  the 
comparison  except  in  order  to  make  as  bad  a 
case  as  possible  for  those  of  the  American 
book-trade  who  supply  libraries. 

That  Dr.  Raney  himself  has  "insisted  on 
reading  something  into  the  article"  is  shown 
by  his  own  remarks  before  the  Senate  Finance 
Committee  on  December  2ist  when  he  said: 


"I  recently  had  occasion  to  print  from  a  single 
invoice,  from  a  certain  western  library  that 
presented  it  to  me,  a  list  of  25  titles  of  Eng- 
lish books,  with  the  New  York  and  London 
prices  put  in  parallel  columns,  and  found  the 
latter  to  be  60  per-cent  higher  than  the  for- 
mer." 

If  these  book  price  figures  are  to  be  so 
continuously  used  they  should  be  given  a  fair 
revision.

Adventures  of  a  Bookseller 

By  Ketch 


MR.  BIGBOSS  arrived  at  the  Bookstore  not 
long  after  its  hour  of  opening,  and,  before 
going  to  his  desk  on  the  balcony,  stopped 
and  spoke  to  Mr.  Ondeck  and  Miss  Vampet, 
who  were  arranging  counter  displays. 

"Do  you  know  who  is  to  be  in  town  today?" 
said  he. 

"No,"  replied  Ondeck.    "Who?" 

"I  know,"  said  Miss  Vampet.  "Mr.  Celeb- 
rity !  Last  night's  News  had  a  big  article  about 

it" 

"Good!"  said  Mr.  Bigboss.  "You  should 
read  the  papers,  Ondeck.  Now  I  want  you  two 
to  get  out  all  of  his  books  that  we  have  on  hand, 
for  he  has  promised  to  come  in  and  autograph 


them.  I  have  been  invited  to  attend  the  din- 
ner to  be  given  in  his  honor  this  noon,  so  I  won't 
be  here  to  see  to  the  arrangements,  but  I  leave 
that  to  you.  Display  his  titles  prominently, 
and  put  a  card  in  the  window  announcing  auto- 
graphed copies  for  sale." 

'Mr.  Ondeck  and  Miss  Vampet  hastened  to 
follow  these  instructions  and  soon  all  of  Mr. 
Celebrity's  titles,  five  in  number,  were  prom- 
inently placed  on  a  small  table  near  the  front 
door.  A  chair  was  brought,  and  pen  and  ink 
provided.  Shortly  after  noon,  Mr.  Bigboss 
came  in,  and  enthusiastically  detailed  the  dinner 
to  Ondeck. 

"It  was  a   remarkable  gathering!"   said  he. 


/•'< bruary  4,    1922 

"Really  a  brilliant  affair.  Such  witty  talk  and 
clever  speeches.  Ondeck!  I  wouldn't  have 
missed  it  for  worlds  1  Well,  I  must  be  getting 
on.  I  have  to  go  over  to  the  hotel ;  so,  if  Mr. 
k-brity  comes  in,  take  care  of  him  till  I  re- 
turn." 

"Righto !  We'll  make  him  feel  'to  home'." 
Miss  Vampet  was  quite  excited  over  the 
event;  she  had  read  everything  he  had  ever 
written,  and  admired  the  man  tremendously,  so, 
when  he  did  come  in,  she  advanced  to  meet  him 
with  a  thrill.  B'ut  Ondeck  was  before  her,  and 
already  had  the  great  man  by  the  hand,  so  she 
stood  quietly  by,  trying  to  reconcile  the  man 
before  her  with  the  image  of  him  she  had 
created  from  the  printed  page.  He  was  a  red 
faced,  dapper  little  man,  dressed  in  a  style  that 
invited  attention,  and  had  about  him  an  air  of 
distinction  that  would  mark  him  in  any  assem- 
bly. He  carried  a  cane  under  his  arm,  and 
walked  with  a  quick,  springy  step,  that  somehow 
seemed  to  contradict  the  gray  hairs  that  lined 
his  forehead.  The  impression  gained  was  con- 
tradictory, for  he  seemed  to  embody  both  youth 
and  age  in  one. 

"Where's  Bigbosl!"  he  exclaimed  in  a  com- 
manding tone.  "Where's  Bigboss !  Is  he 
here?" 

"Sorry,  but  he  just  stepped  over  to  the  hotel 
to—" 

"Always  out !  Always.  Last  place  on  earth 
to  find  a  manager  is  in  his  store.  Tell  me,"  tak- 
ing Ondeck  firmly  by  the  arm,  "What  did  he 
think  of  the  dinner?  Did  he  say  anything? 
Did  he  enjoy  it?  What  did  he  think  of  it,  eh?" 
"Oh,  he  was  full  of  it!"  responded  Ondeck  en- 
thusiastically. "Oh  very." 

For  a  moment  the  great  man's  manner  be- 
came less  assured,  then  he  said: 

"I  dare  say ;  I  dare  say.  Well,  what  is  it  he 
wants  me  to  do  here  He  said  he — " 

"He  said  you  had  very  kindly  consented  to 
autograph  a  few  books,  so  we  are  all  ready  for 
you.  Here's  a  chair,  and  pen  and  ink,  and  if 
you  will  just — " 

"Not  here !  Not  up  here !  Do  you  think  I 
-'mi  a  public  performer?  Bring  the  books  back 
in  the  corner  yonder.  The  idea!  Why  didn't 
you  put  me  in  the  window?" 

He  stamped  back  to  the  corner,  where  he  put 
a  stenographer  to  flight,  and  promptly  occupied 
her  chair.  Ondeck  got  some  men  up  from  the 
shipping  room,  and  soon  the  books  were  being 
carried  back  to  the  corner.  Mr.  Celebrity 
1'  >'  >ked  askance  at  them. 

"Great  Caesar!"  he  cried.  "What  is  Bigboss 
thinking  of !  I  would  be  all  day  at  it  if  I  signed 
all  these.  Great  Caesar!" 

"Just  as  many  as  you  can,"  said  Ondeck,  in- 
sinuatingly. "Here's  pen  and  ink." 

Mr.  Celebrity  took  the  pen,  dipped  it,  opened 
a  hook,  and  started  to  sign;  then  he  threw 


275 

the  pen  on  the  desk  in  great  indignation. 

Bring  me  a  stub!"  he  cried.    "A  stub!    ThU 
thing  is  no  good  !" 

There  was  a  frantic  rush  for  a  »tub,  and  soon 
he  was  supplied  with  several ;  so  he  signed  the 
book,  fumbled  around  the  desk,  thai  cried: 

"A  .blotter!  Have  you  no  blotters!  Come! 
Come!" 

Another  frantic  rush,  and  a  dozen  blotter* 
were  handed  him.  Then  he  settled  to  this  task. 


MR.    CKLEBRITY    SETTLED    TO     HIS    TASK. 

"There!"  he  said,  after  he  had  autographed 
about  twenty  copdes.  "That's  a  day's  work! 
Tell  Bigboss  to  look  me  up  at  the  hotel.  Good- 
bye. Goodbye." 

"But  Mr.  Bigboss  wanted  you  to — " 

But  Mr.  Celebrity  paid  no  heed  to  the  words. 
Away  he  went  down  the  store,  his  cane 
swinging  jauntily  at  his  side.  Ondeck  looked 
at  Miss  Vampet,  and  both  burst  out  laughing 
— Miss  Vampet  rather  ruefully. 

"Well,  I  declare !"  said  she.  "Why,  Mr.  Ondeck. 
he  isn't  anything  like  what  I  thought  he  would 
be !  Well,  I  declare !  I  always  thought  of  him 
as  a — well,  a  mild  sort  of  man." 

"Mild!"  exclaimed  Ondeck. 

"Oh  his  poor  wife!"  said  Miss  Gentleways, 
who  came  up  at  this  moment.  "How  does  she 
stand  him!" 

"She  doesn't,"  answered  Miss  Vampet,  with 
a  laugh.  "They  are  divorced." 

"No!  Well,  good  for  her!"  And  both  Miss 
Vampet  and  Miss  (icntleways  laughed  tri- 
umphantly. "Good  for  her.  She  was  wise!" 

"You  know,  I  always  liked  his  work."  said 
.Miss  Vampet.  "But  I  never  dreamed  he  was 
like— this.  I  always  thought  he  was— well  a 
mild  sort  of  a  man." 

"So  did  I!  So  did  I!"  exclaimed  Mi<s 
Gentleways. 

"Exactly,"  said  Ondeck.  "And  now  we  hare 
the  eternal  disillusion.  The  trouble  with  you 
ladies  is,  that  you  are  looking  for  a  sweet  little 
patootie,  who  is  mild  and  inoffensive.

"It  is  easy  to  see  why  your  wife  married  you." 
said  Miss  Vamprt,  with  a  wink  to  Miss  Gentlc- 
ways. 

"Quite,"  agreed  Ondeck  readily.  "But  really, 
d'ye  know  I  think  I'm  improving.  Only  the 
other  night  she  was  threatening  to  get  a  divorce." 

"It  would  be  too  bad  if  it  had  to  go 
that  far,"  said  Miss  Vampct.  "But  let  us  spare

Reminiscences  of  a  Book  Scout 

By  Joseph  Jewett  Barton 

V.    Auction  Adventures 


I  WAS  walking  down  South  Broad  Street, 
Newark,  a  few  springs  ago,  when  from  out 

of  the  traffic  came  a  voice  with  a  query  that 
roused  me  from  the  tired  feeling,  as  a  bugle 
does  a  war  horse,  "Want  to  buy  some  books, 
today  ?"  and  then  an  old  acquaintance  in  an 
automobile  drew  along  side  with  a  demand  thc.t 
I  jump  in  and  off  we  went. 

Xnturally  I  wanted  to  know  where  we  were 
going  but  Bill  replied,  "What  do  you  care?" 
"But  I've  no  overcoat  and  not  much  money 
with  me,"  I  insisted,  but  he  dug  up  an  over- 
coat and  said  I  didn't  need  any  money,  he  had 
plenty  for  both  of  us. 

Bill  explained  that  a  friend  of  his  was 
going  to  have  an  auction  about  thirty  miles 
out,  a  nice  little  private  auction  of  some 
storage  goods.  "I've  seen  the  stuff,"  he  said, 
"and  there  are  about  four  or  five  hundred 
books.  I  don't  want  the  books,  but  there  is 
a  lot  of  antique  furniture  that  I  do  want. 
Now  what  are  the  books  worth  to  you,"  and  I 
replied  that  $5.00  was  plenty. 

"Well  the  furniture  is  worth  $30  to  me,  so 
I  will  bid  $30.00  for  everything  and  you  bid 
$35-OO,  and  it  will  be  knocked  down  to  you. 
Here  is  the  cash,"  and  it  so  happened. 

The  sale  had  been  advertised,  according  to 
law,  but  probably  down  in  the  southwest  cor- 
ner of  some  obscure  local  paper  where  nobody 
jwould  be  expected  to  see  it  and  the  only  other 
bidder  that  appeared  was  a  little  old  woman 
who  probably  dropped  in  by  accident,  and  who 
wanted  to  buy  a  table.  It  was  explained  to 
her  that  the  goods  must  be  sold  as  a  lot,  not 
singly,  but  she  could  buy  everything  if  she 
wanted  to;  but  when  Bill  started  the  proceed- 
ings with  his  $30.00  bid  I  expect  that 
sounded  like  ^3,000  to  the  little  old  woman,  and 
she  fled  precipitately.  Then  I  followed  with 
my  bid,  and  after  the  final  third  and  last  call 
I  was  the  temporary  possessor  of  a  choice  lot 
of  antique  mahogany  furniture  and  some 
books. 

What  private  arrangement  Bill  had  with  the 
auctioneer  regarding  the  division  of  the  spoils 
concerns  me  not  at  all. 

I  went  thru  the  books  and  selected  about 
twenty  of  the  choicest  items  and  put  them 
in  the  car.  I  never  leave  choice  things  around 
for  somebody  else  to  paw  over  after  they  be- 
long to  me.  We  then  adjourned  for  lunch  and 
decided  to  call  it  a  day's  work,  and  the 
results  justified. 

The  best  of  the  lot  were  Mrs.  Shelly's 
"Rambles  in  Germany  and  Italy,"  2  vols.  8vo. 


original  cloth,  uncut,  London  1844,  first  edi- 
tion; White's  "Natural  History  and  Antiqui- 
ties of  Selborne,"  quarto,  polished  calf,  Lon- 
don, 1789,  first  edition,  and  that  was  a  beautiful 
book,  crisp  as  the  day  it  was  printed,  but  it 
had  been  rebound. 

Fox's  "Book  of  Martyrs,"  quarto,  calf,  il- 
lustrated with  lithographic  plates,  published 
by  Wm,  Borrodaile,  N.  Y.,  1828;  this  was 
probably  abridged,  as  it  had  good  readable 
type.  "A  Treatise  on  Fencing"  by  J.  McArthur, 
quarto  calf,  London  1784,  with  Frontispiece 
and  nineteen  other  engraved  plates;  "Saducis- 
mus  Triumphatus  by  Joseph  Glanvil,"  8vo. 
old  calf,  London  1726,  fourth  edition;  "The 
English  Physician:  or  an  Astrologo- Physical 
Discourse  on  the  Vulgar  Herbs  of  this  Na- 
tion," by  Nicholas  Culpepper,  small  folio  calf, 
London  1652;  and  an  old  calf  bound  book  on 
Theology  with  an  engraved  armorial  book 
plate  of  Benj.  Kissam,  done  in  later  Chippen- 
dale style  by  Henry  Dawkins  about  1/50. 

The  auctioneer  agreed  to  send  the  rest  of  my 
purchase  into  Bill's  storage  warehouse  in  the 
morning,  and  I  saw  that  they  were  loaded 
properly;  unfortunately  he  left  the  wagon, 
which  had  no  top,  out  in  the  yard  and  it 
rained  hard  that  night  so  when  I  received  my 
books  the  greater  part  were  ruined ;  but  I 
saved  a  16  vol.  Burton  "Arabian  Nights," 
Denver  edition,  and  a  few  others  out  of  the 
lot  anyway,  and  with  what  I  had  brought  with 
me  by  auto,  it  wasn't  such  an  awful  loss. 

Bill  was,  and  is,  an  auctioneer  himself  and 
owns  a  big  establishment  where  he  holds 
weekly  sales  either  of  consigned  or  storage 
goods.  It  is  the  custom  of  most  places  of  this 
kind  to  tie  up  in  bundles  books  good,  bad  and 
indifferent. 

If  you  happen  to  see  a  good  book?  ^n 
a  bundle,  you  have  to  buy  all  the  junk  or  books 
you  do  not  want  to  get  one  that  you  do,  so  the 
one  generally  costs  a  pretty  fair  price. 

I  decided  to  change  this  method,  so  volun- 
teered my  services  to  help  tie  books  previous 
to  sales.  I  tied  up  all  the  good  ones  in  sev- 
eral bundles,  which  I  marked,  and  then  at  the 
'  sale  bought  those  bundles.  This  scheme 
worked  finely  for  a  time,  until  Bill  found  he 
was  getting  a  lot  of  bundles  on  his  hands  that 
nobody  would  make  a  bid  on,  and  then  I  lost 
my  job. 

One  sale  I  remember,  I  tied  Hamerton's 
"Etching  and  Etchers,"  first  edition  1868,  a 
2  vol.  half  Morocco  edition  of  "Robinson 
Crusoe"  with  Stothard  plates;  a  genealogy  of

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


the  descendants  of  Thomas  Olney ;  Qute's  "His- 
tory of  Staten  Island,"  and  three  more  books 
together  and  stuck  the  bundle  on  the  bottom 
of  a  pile  hoping  it  would  not  be  noticed  by 
anybody  who  knew  much  about  books.  Sale 
day  came,  Bill  got  along  to  the  books,  and  I 
cast  my  eye  around  to  see  who  was  there  that 
might  be  dangerous.  Nobody  there  except  old 
Mr.  H,  an  antique  dealer,  and  I  breathed  eas- 
ier and  my  hands  stopped  perspiring. 

Bill  started  my  bundle  at  a  dollar,  several 
women  helped  it  along  to  three,  then  old  Mr 
H.  put  on  his  eye  glasses,  gave  a  look,  and 
started  bidding  with  me  trailing  along;  at 
$11.00  he  stopped  and  with  twenty-five  cents 
more  the  bundle  was  mine.  As  I  was  going 
out  of  the  door  Mr.  H.  called  after  me. 
"What  was  it  you  wanted  in  that  bundle?" 
but  I  Yankeed,  by  asking  him  the  same  ques- 
tion, and  he  said  an  old  friend  had  asked  him  to 
pick  him  up  a  nice  copy  of  "Robinson  Crusoe," 
but  he  didn't  know  they  were  worth  that  much 
money.  I  sold  the  "Etching  and  Etchers"  for 
$50.00,  traded  the  Crusoe  to  Mr.  H.  for  some 
books  he  had  that  I  wanted,  and  the  others 
are  lying  around  somewhere  yet. 

I  should  not  leave  Bill  and  his  place  with- 
out telling  of  a  character  who  buys  under  the 
auction  initials  of  B.  P.  He  is  a  little,  near- 
sighted Jewish  person  who  when  he  started 
on  his  awful  career  twenty-seven  years  ago. 
Bill  says,  had  a  good  store,  two  other  build- 
ings, money  in  the  bank  and  was  a  leading 
figure  in  his  synagogue. 

His  store  stock  was  secondhand  furniture 
and  miscellaneous  goods.  One  time,  soon  after 
he  started  to  buy  at  Bill's,  he  bought  a  locked 
trunk  and  when  he  got  it  home  and  pried  it 
open  he  had  all  kinds  of  "sillik"  dresses,  ex- 
pensive lingerie,  a  few  articles  of  fairly  good 
jewelry,  toilet  articles,  including  a  solid  silver- 
backed  hand  mirror,  and  other  desirable  articles 
too  numerous  to  mention,  which  cost  him  only 
a  few  dollars. 

Since  then  B.  P.  has  been  a  fiend  on  every- 
thing locked  or  nailed  up.  No  price  was  too 
high;  he  was  the  final  bidder  on  all  pigs  in  a 
poke,  and  he  beat  me  out  of  several  good 

boxes  of  books 

*        *        *        * 

The  money  in  the  bank,  the  two  houses,  and 
the  store,  have  all  gone. 

GEORGE  PALMER  PUTNAM  has  just  returned 
from  a  two  months'  trip  to  England  and  the 
Continent.  Chief  among  the  manuscripts 
brought  back,  he  reports,  is  that  of  "Painted 
Windows"  by  a  Gentleman  with  a  Duster,  au- 
thor of  "The  Mirrors  of  Downing  Street." 
This  new  book  deals  primarily  with  the  out- 
standing figures  of  England's  religious  life  to- 
day. 


Current  Clippings 

MAKCOT  ASQUITH  wife  of  the  former  British 
Prime  Minister,  is  now  in  America  on  a  lecture 
tour.  Coincident  with  this  event,  the  George  H. 
Doran  Co.  has  issued  a  popular  one  volume 
edition,  bound  in  cloth  and  stamped  in  gold,  of 
"Margot  Asquith:  An  Autobiography."  This 
was  formerly  issued  in  a  more  expensive  two- 
volume  edition. 

WHAT  is  actually  the  first  personal  word 
ever  received  by  her  publishers  concerning 
Ethel  M.  Dell  has  just  reached,  them  in  a 
cablegram.  Miss  Dell's  engagement  to  Col. 
George  Savage,  Jr..  has  just  been  announced. 
Miss  Dell  is  living  in  Goiilford  not  iar  from 
London  and  Col.  Savage  lives  in  the  same 
town.  Miss  Dell  has  never  been  interviewed 
and  has  never  allowed  her  photograph  to  be 
published.  In  fact,  she  so  dreads  publicity 
that  she  has  enclosed  her  house  and  grounds 
with  a  high  brick  wall. 

BEN  HECHT,  of  Chicago,  successful  news- 
paper man  and  novelist,  is  now  apparently  about 
to  become  a  successful  playwright  too.  Leo 
Dietrichstein  telegraphed  the  author  of  "Erik 
Dorn"  to  come  on  from  Chicago  last  week.  He 
came.  He  saw  Mr.  Dietrichstein,  and  he  immedi- 
ately signed  a  contract  for  a  new  play  which  Mr. 
Dietrichstein  will  put  on  with  himself  in  the 
leading  part,  in  September.  The  opening  is  sched- 
uled for  Chicago.  The  title  of  the  play  is  "The 
Man  Who  Poses."  With  a  fat  advance  pay- 
ment: on  the  play  in  his  pocket,  Ben  Hecht  is 
now  busy  on  his  new  novel  "Gargoyles,"  which 
the  Putnams  expect  to  publish  in  the  autumn. 

AN  Encyclopedia  of  Christianity  for  English 
speaking  scholars  has  been  undertaken,  in 
America,  according  to  the  Outlook.  It  is  to 
be  published  by  Robert  Appleton,  the  publisher 
who  carried  thru  successfully  the  publication 
of  the  Catholic  encyclopedia.  It  is  expected 
that  the  work  will  take  six  years  and  will  fill 
twelve  large  volumes  when  it  is  completed.  It 
will  be  fully  illustrated.  It  is  intended  that  this 
encyclopedia  shall  cover  the  entire  field  of  his- 
torical and  doctrinal  Christianity,  including  not 
only  its  theological  and  ecclesiastical  aspects, 
but  its  physical  and  social  aspects  as  well. 

DOUBLE-PAGE  SPREADS,  in  colors,  for  the 
Desk  Standard  Dictionary,  published  by  Funk 
and  Wagnalls  have  been  appearing  in  the 
Literary  Digest  and  appeared  in  the  Saturday 
Evening  Post  of  February  4.  An  interesting 
feature  of  this  publicity  is  that  it  contains 
the  names  and  business  locations  of  all  book- 
sellers in  the  United  States  who  handle  the 
dictionary.

In  the  Field  of  the  Retailer 


A  Merchandise  Manual 

JUST  what  constructive  work  can  be  done  in 
bringing  the  whole  field  of  retailing  into 
oetter  condition  is  shown  by  the  examination 
of  a  merchandise  manual  for  shoe  departments, 
\vritten  by  Elizabeth  Dyer  and  published  by 
the  Research  Bureau  for  Retail  Training,  Car- 
negie Institute  of  Technology,  Pittsburgh.  In 
a  book  of  130  pages  there  is  a  complete  intro- 
duction to  the  retail  shoe  business  for  the  per- 
son becoming  a  salesman  in  that  field.  One 
learns  about  the  parts  of  the  shoe,  details 
about  material,  so  much  needed  by  every  one 
who  intelligently  handles  customers,  details  as 
to  the  making  so  that  the  inner  problems  as  well 
as  outward  appearance  can  be  understood,  a 
chapter  on  style,  one  on  fitting  the  shoes,  on 
justifying  prices,  selling  suggestions,  answering 
customers'  questions,  and  very  important  mate- 
rial cm  the  anatomy  of  the  foot  and  the  prob- 
lems involved  in  foot  health.  If  all  the  wisdom 
and  detailed  information  in  this  brief  volume 
could  be  fully  in  the  mind  of  every  shoe  sales- 
man in  the  country,  the  number  of  people  who 
would  suffer  uncomfortable  hours  would  be 
greatly  decreased.  The  possible  effect  on  the 
happiness  of  the  human  race  seems  incredible. 
The  amount  of  information  that  needs  to  be  at 
the  tongue's  end  of  a  salesman  in  a  bookshop 
is  infinitely  greater  than  is  needed  in  the  boot 
and  shoe  field,  and  every  effort  to  supply  this 
need  should  be  carefully  encouraged,  and  the 
fact  that  other  trades  are  realizing  the  needs  of 
better  retailing  gives  added  stimulus  to  the  peo- 
ple in  each  separate  field. 

Boy  Scouts  and  Bookcases 

DURING  National  Boy  Scout  Week,  Febru- 
ary sth- nth,  the  boy's  interest  is  be- 
ing caught  by  the  Boys'  and  Girls'  Own 
Bookshop  of  J.  K.  Gill  Company,  Port- 
land, Ore.,  by  offering  a  dozen  prizes 
for  the  best  bookcase  and  best  libraries 
for  a  bookcase,  Mabel  Arundel  Harris 
manager  of  this  special  department,  has 
now  a  corner  known  as  the  Boy  Scout 
Room.  This  emphasis  on  the  boy's  interest  has 
brought  many  new  friends,  and  these  boys  are 
now  preparing  to  submit  bookcases  in  compe- 
tition, manufactured  from  the  design  of  the 
Thomas  Bailey  Aldrich  bookcase,  which  was 
popularized  during  Children's  Book  Week.  Ex- 
hibits will  be  accepted  from  individuals  and.  also 
from  Scout  troops.  If  a  troop  product,  it  must 
be  retained  for  a  troop  library  and  hung  in  the 
regular  meeting  place  of  the  troop.  There  are 
three  prizes  for  the  best  built  bookcase  entered 
by  individuals,  three  for  the  best  built  bookcases 
entered  by  a  troop,  three  prizes  for  the  best 
library  contained  in  a  bookcase  entered  by  an 
individual,  and  three  for  the  best  library  entered

by  a  troop.  These  prizes  run  from  five  dollars 
down  to  one  dollar,  and  books  to  that  amount 
can  be  selected.  The  motto  of  the  Book  Room 
is  "Not  Just  a  Book,  But  the  Right  Book." 

The  Doll  "Cytherea" 

A  VERY  appropriate  suggestion  for  window 
display  in  connection  with  Hergesheimer's 
new  novel  is  embodied  in  the  prize  which  the 
publishers  have  recently  announced  for  the  best 
photograph  of  a  character  doll  exhibited  in 
connection  with  the  book.  As  those  who  have 
read  the  story  know,  this  doll  is  at  the  very 
center  of  the  theme  of  the  story,  and  it  will  be  a 
very  interesting  problem  for  many  people  to 
plan  the  dressing  of  a  doll  which  will  represent 
"Cytherea."  The  prizes  are  to  be  for  fifty, 
twenty-five  and  fifteen  dollars,  and  the  photo- 
graphs, snap-shots  will  do,  must  be  filed  with  A. 
A.  Knopf,  Inc.,  before  Nfarch  2Oth.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Women  and  Bookselling 

A  Monthly  Department  of  News  and  Theory — Edited  by  Virginia  Smith  Cowper 


ARTHUR    SOMERS 
ROCHE 


The  Women's  National 
Book  Association  met  at 
the  Children's  Book  Shop 
on  the  evening  of  Janu- 
ary iQth,  the  speakers  of 
the  evening  being  Arthur 
Somers  Roche,  the  author 
of  "The  Day  of  Faith," 
"Eyes  of  the  Blind," 
"  R  a  n  s  o  m,"  "Uneasy 
Street''  and  other  best 
sellers,  and  Mrs.  Ida 
Bensey  Judd,  profession- 
al reader.  Mrs.  Judd  read 
"T  h  e  Preface  for  a 
French  History  of  Joan  of  Arc"  by  Mark  Twain. 
This  was  charmingly  and  sympathetically  ren- 
dered, and  it  was  a  privilege  to  become  ac- 
quainted, in  such  a  pleasant  way,  with  a  work 
which  has  been  so  Itittle  known  for  many  years. 
It  appeared  in  a  collection  of  Twain's  short 
stories,  and.  Mrs.  Ralph  Wilson,  of  McDevitt- 
Wilson  Co.,  recognized  the  great  beauty  of  it 
and  suggested  to  Harper's  that  they  publish  it 
separately,  with  the  result  that  the  story  as  told 
by  Mrs.  Judd,  appears  in  beautiful  dress,  un- 
der the  title  of  "St.  Joan  of  Arc." 

Mr.  Roche  more  than  fulfilled  his  require- 
ments as  a  speaker,  for  being  author's  year  in 
the  Association,  all  authors  are  asked  to  tell 
of  their  early  work,  and  talk  about  their  ca- 
reers. Mr.  Roche's  story  of  his  start  as  a 
writer,  and  of  the  years  which  led  to  ultimate 
success,  was  just  the  thing  which  made  the 
booksellers  present  glad  of  the  opportunity  of 
knowing  him,  and  hearing  what  his  ideas  were 
about  present-day  conditions.  Much  of  his  talk 
had  to  do  with  the  case  of  censorship  and 
"pseudo-reformers,"  and  he  asked  the  Women's 
National  Book  Association  as  a  body,  to  do 
what  it  cquld  in  the  cause  of  a  less  rigid  regime 
of  censorship  and  to  help  to  fight  the  issues  as 
they  are  presented  by  the  censors.  Thru  the 
efforts  of  Mrs.  Sherwood,  Chairman  of  the  En- 
tertainment Committee  for  this  year,  and  the 
kindness  of  Harper  &  Brothers,  every  member 
present  received  a  copy  of  "Lost  Valley"  by 
Katherine  Fullerton  Gerould.  Each  book  bore 
the  inscription  "With  the  compliments  of  the 
author  and  publisher,  distributed  thru  the 
Women's  National  Book  Association." 

It  is  planned  to  give  a  book  at  each  meeting, 
and  it  will  usually  'be,  as  was  the  one  presented 
at  this  meeting,  the  book  of  the  week. 

The  National  Association  of  Book  Publish- 
ers also  sent  copies  of  "The  Successful  Book- 
shop ;  a  Manual  of  Practical  Information"  by 
Frederic  G.  Melaher.  This  booklet  gives  much 


valuable  information  as  to  how  to  start  a  shop, 
amount  of  capital  needed,  proper  location,  se- 
lection of  stock,  display  and  promotion  and 
other  important  "tips." 

Rubie  Ley,  formerly  manager  of  the  Liberty 
Tower  Bookshop,  New  York,  sadls  for  Europe 
on  the  S.  S.  Providence  on  February  25th,  for  an 
extended  tour.  While  overseas  Miss  Ley  will 
attend  the  International  Book  Fair,  at  Florence, 
Italy,  wihidh  is  to  be  held  under  the  auspices 
of  the  Associazione  Editortiale  Libraria  Ita- 
liana,  with  the  cooperation  of  the  Fondazione 
Leonardo  per  la  Cultura  Italiana.  She  will  also 
spend  some  rime  in  England  and  France,  where 
she  will  study  trade  conditions,  and  do  some 
buying  for  her  bookshop,  which  she  plans  to 
open  in  New  York  upon  her  return,  the  latter 
part  of  the  next  summer.  While  in  Paris,  Miss 
Ley  plans  to  call  upon  another  American  girl, 
Sylvia  Beach,  whose  shop  "Shakespeare  &  Co.," 
8  rue  Dupuytren.  is  filling  a  long  felt  want  in 
the  Latin  Quarter. 

William  Van  Renssalaer  Whitall,  of  Pelham, 
New  York,  is  the  founder  of  a  new  prize  in 
the  world  of  poetry.  He  has  offered  $250  in 
casih  annually  to  the  Poetry  Society  of  South 
Carolina.  This  is  to  be  an  open  competition 
to  "any  native-born  citizen  of  the  United  States 
or  any  British  subject,  speaking  English  as  his 
or  her  native  language."  All  poems  must  be  in 
the  hands  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Poetry  So- 
ciety of  South  Carolina  not  later  than  the  first 
of  January  of  each  year.  "Poems  submitted 
must  not  be  less  than  fourteen  lines  in  length 
and  special  consideration  shall  be  given  to  sus- 
tained poems  of  considerable  length ;  all  poems 
to  be  origlinal  and  unpublished  at  the  time  of 
submission."  Mr.  Whitall  has  appointed  Amy 
Lowell  judge  for  1922,  and  has  named  this 
prize  "The  Blindman  Prize"  from  the  title  of 
the  poem,  "The  Blindman,"  by  Hervey  Allen, 
which  appears  in  "Wampum  and  Old  Gold"  re- 
cently published  by  the  Yale  University  Press. 
Mr.  Whitall  urges  the  Society  to  induce  emi- 
nent American  and  English  poets  to  enter  this 
competition.  There  are  a  few  other  conditions, 
not  mentioned  here,  which  may  be  had  upon  ap- 
plication to  DuBose  Hey  ward,  secretary,  the 
Poetry  Society  of  South  Carolina,  Charleston, 
S.  C. 

Rosalie  Nixon,  of  the  Paul  Morphy  Book- 
shop, New  Orleans,  has  been  in  New  York  this 
last  week  on  a  spring  buying  tour.  She  was 
most  optimistic  about  her  new  venture,  and 
reports  that  business  has  been  especially  good 
since  she  opened  her  shop  last  fall,

Obituary  Notes 

SIR  ERNEST  SHACKLETON. 

SIR  ERNEST  SHACKLETON,  the  British  ex- 
plorer, died  January  5,  on  board,  the  steamship 
Quest,  on  which  he  was  making  another  ex- 
pedition into  the  antarctic  regions.  He  died, 
after  but  a  few  hours'  illness,  of  angina  pec- 
toris. 

He  was  born  February  15,  1874,  at  Kilkee, 
in  the  south  of  Ireland.  He  was  educated  at 
Duhvtich  College.  After  he  finished  his  course 
there,  he  went  to  sea  in  the  merchant  service. 
He  was  later  a  lieutenant  in  the  Royal  Naval 
Reserve.  In  1901  he  was  third  lieutenant  of 
the  National  Antarctic  Expedition  under  the  late 
Captain  Scott.  He  first  attracted  wide  atten- 
tion when  he  became  Commander  of  the  Brit- 
ish Antarctic  Expedition  of  1907-1909,  which 
reached  within  ninety-seven  miles  of  the  South 
Pole.  The  story  of  any  of  his  great  expedi- 
tions is  thrilling  reading,  and  the  contribution 
of  any  of  them  to  science  was  immense. 

His  books  include :  "The  Heart  of  the  Ant- 
arctic," 1909;  "The  Diary  of  a  Troop  Ship," 
"South,"  1920. 

Personal  Notes 

ON  JANUARY  24,  May  White,"buyer  of  G.  Fox 
&  Co.,  Hartford,  Conn,  was  married  to  George 
J.  McGinn. 

Periodical  Notes 

WILLIS  J.  ABBOTT  has  just  been  elected  by 
the  directors  of  the  First  Church  of  Christ 
Scientist,  editor  of  the  Christian  Science  Moni- 
tor, the  election  being  confirmed  by  the  newly 
appointed  trustees  of  the  Christian  Science 
Publishing  Society.  Albert  Field  Gilmore  at 
the  same  time  and  in  the  same  manner  was 
chosen  the  editor  of  the  monthly  publications 
the  Christian  Science  Journal,  Christian  Sci- 
ence Sentinel,  Le  Heraut  (French),  and  Der 
Herald  (German). 

ANOTHER  PROMINENT  PAPER  has  turned  its  at- 
tention to  more  complete  comment  on  books, 
this  time  the  Cleveland  Plain  Dealer,  which  will 
have  a  well-rounded  book  section  on  Saturdays. 
The  Plain  Dealer  is  well  known  throughout  the 
country  as  well  as  in  Northern  Ohio  and  has 
always  had  book  reviews  and  book  news.  The 
present  step,  however,  shows  the  intention  of 
making  a  more  fully  rounded  department  com- 
parable to  those  that  have  developed  in  the  four 
larger  cities.  The  preliminary  announcement 
sent  out  indicates  that  the  department  will  en- 
deavor to  weld  the  interest  of  publishers  and 
booksellers  together,  and  will  have  a  clear  con- 
ception of  the  place  of  the  book  in  the  home 
life  of  the  community. 


Philadelphia  Booksellers  Meet 

THE  Philadelphia  B<K>ksellers'  Association 
met  at  the  Franklin  Inn  Club  Thursday

Rare  Books,  Autographs  and  Prints 


ETCHINGS,  lithographs,  drawings,  pastels 
and  bronzes  of  Degas  are  on  view  at  the 
Grolier  Club.     Tihis  exhibition  is  the  first 
in   this   country  to  show  the  various  sides  of 
this  artist's  work. 

The  last  issue  of  The  Dickensian  of  London 
reports  forty-six  branches  of  the  Dickens 
Fellowship,  four  in  London,  twenty-four  in 
the  remainder  of  England,  one  each  in  Ire- 
land, Scotland  and  Wales,  four  each  in  Aus- 
tralia and  Canada,  and  seven  in  the  United 
States. 

The  library  of  Gen.  George  C.  Meade,  who 
commanded  the  Union  Army  at  Gettysburg, 
consisting  mainly  of  regimental  histories,  re- 
ports of  battles  of  the  Civil  War,  narratives 
and  Confederate  imprints  was  sold  by  Stan. 
V.  Henkels,  in  Philadelphia,  on  January  27. 

Charles  Dickens's  "Pickwick  Papers"  never 
loses  its  attraction  for  illustrators.  The  latest 
artist  of  note  to  devote  his  talents  to  the 
great  novel  is  Charles  E.  Brock  who  has 
made  twelve  drawings  which  have  been  pub- 
lished in  a  limited  edition  de  luxe  and  an  or- 
dinary edition  by  Arthur  W.  Waters,  of 
Birmingham,  England. 

The  letters  and  business  records  of  the  late 
Henry  Villard,  covering  his  career  as  a  rail- 
road and  steamship  executive  from  1874  until 
his  retirement  in  1895,  have  been  presented  to 
the  Widener  Memorial  Library  of  Harvard 
University.  The  papers  are  said  to  present  a 
remarkable  record  of  railroad  development  in 
the  Pacific  Northwest. 

Another  discovery  relating  to  Conrad's 
"Chance"  is  reported  by  The  Bookman's  Jour- 
nal. It  has  been  generally  understood  that 
the  American  edition  was  dated  1914;  it  now 
appears  that  Doubleday,  Page  &  Co.,  issued 
a  small  number — supposed  to  be  ten  or  twelve 
— dated  1913,  and  it  now  seems  probable  that 
these  copies  were  issued  prior  to  the  genuine 
first  issue  of  the  English  edition. 

A  copy  of  the  famous  Dante  manuscript, 
known  as  the  Codice  Trivulziano,  has  been 
presented  to  the  New  York  University  and 
will  be  placed  in  the  Gould  Memorial  Library 
on  University  Heights.  It  is  the  gift  of  Luigi 
Carnavole  of  Chicago  and  is  one  of  seventy 
copies  which  will  be  presented  to  the  President 
for  the  White  House  Library,  the  Con- 


gressional Library,  and  universities  thruout 
the  country.  The  gift  is  in  commemoration 
of  the  6ooth  anniversary  of  the  death  of 
Dante. 

Illuminated  and  other  manuscripts  together 
with  printed  books,  the  property  of  Capt. 
John  Harrison-Broadley,  with  additions,  will 
be  sold  at  Sotheby's  in  London,  February  13 
and  14.  These  consignments  comprise  many 
rarities,  among  them  a  Flemish  Horae;  an 
English  I5th  century  Horae;  an  Italian  isth 
century  Pontifical ;  early  printed  books ;  tracts 
and  plays  of  the  i7th  and  i8th  centuries;  books 
with  colored  plates;  Higden's  "Polycronicon." 
printed  by  Caxton  in  1482;  the  Second  and 
Fourth  Folios  of  Shakespeare;  a"  signed  auto- 
graph draft  of  Richard  Crawshaw's  first  vol- 
ume of  poetry ;  a  contemporary  account  of  the 
Scotts  Guards  of  1688;  and  a  remarkable 
Byzantine  Psalter  of  the  nth  century. 

Three  important  book  sales  in  this  country 
— that  of  the  Corder  collection  at  the  Ameri- 
can Art  Galleries  January  26  and  27,  the 
Dickens  collection  February  i  and  2  and  the 
Thackeray  rarities  February  6  and  7,  both 
at  the  Anderson  Galleries — and  several  smaller 
sales  have  come  in  a  very  short  period.  In 
London  a  very  important  part  of  the  Christie 
Miller  Library  will  be  sold  on  February  6  to 
10  inclusive.  Not  since  March.  1920,  when  the 
Forman,  Wallace  and  Yates  Thompson  sales 
were  very  closely  bunched  have  there  been  so 
many  rare  books  sold  in  so  short  a  time.  Some 
collectors  looked  forward  to  a  drop  in  prices 
and  even  some  dealers  felt  dubious  but  it 
now  appears  as  if  these  sales  from  start  to 
finish  will  have  been  well  attended  and  good 
prices  maintained. 

An  appreciation  of  Amy  Lowell,  the  Boston 
poet,  appears  in  The  Landmark  and  makes 
strong  claims  for  her  as  a  collector.  Her  li- 
brary is  said  to  be  one  of  the  finest  in  America 
and  her  collection  of  manuscripts  of  Keats 
surpassed  only  by  that  of  the  Earl  of  Crewe. 
It  was  her  passion  for  Keats,  leading  to  the 
study  of  his  manuscripts,  that  fixed  her  pur- 
pose to  become  a  poet.  The  format  and  type 
of  her  first  book  "A  Dome  of  Many-Colored 
Glass,"  published  in  1912.  followed  that  of 
Keats's  "Poems;"  and,  it  is  said,  that  it  was 
due  to  her  exertions  more  than  of  any  other 
person  that  it  was  found  possible  to  purchase 
the  Keats  House  in  Hampstead  for  preserva- 
tion as  a  memorial.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Some  years  ago  THE  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY 
issued  a  classified  list  of  private  book  collec- 
tors which  was  at  once  much  appreciated  by 
the  book-trade.  Two  years  later  a  second  edi- 
tion, enlarged  and  with  improved  classifica- 
tion, was  published ;  and,  still  later,  a  third 
edition,  limited  to  300  copies,  which  is  now 
out  of  print  and  is  frequently  called  for. 
There  is  need  of  a  new  edition,  more  compre- 
hensive, with  great  care  for  accuracy  of  ad- 
dresses and  the  most  careful  classification  in 
order  to  give  it  the  greatest  possible  useful- 
ness. Such  a  revised  and  improved  edition 
is  now  being  prepared  and  dealers  and  col- 
lectors can  render  important  assistance  if  they 
are  so  disposed,  and  we  believe  it  is  for  their 
interest  to  do  it.  Collectors  not  heretofore 
enrolled  are  invited  to  send  in  the  names,  full 
addresses,  and  special  lines  in  which  they  are 
interested.  Librarians  who  are  systematical- 
ly adding  to  special  collections  may  find  this 
an  effective  method  in  keeping  in  touch  with 
dealers  in  this  country  and  England.  This  list 
is  becoming  more  or  less  an  established  insti- 
tution, important  alike  to  the  dealer  and  col- 
lector, as  a  means  of  communication.  Sug- 
gestions or  information  from  any  source  will 
be  appreciated. 

The  sale  of  the  Corder  Collection,  with  addi- 
tions, at  the  American  Art  Galleries  on  Jan- 
uary 26  and  27  must  have  pleased  every  body 
for  there  seemed  to  be  a  very  lively  interest  in 
rare  books,  and  prices  thruout  were  well  main- 
tained. The  stability  which  valuable  books 
are  showing  must  give  collectors  a  great  deal 
of  satisfaction,  and,  at  the  same  time,  it  is 
higthly  encouraging  for  the  trade  because  it  is 
the  very  foundation  of  their  business.  The 
Dickens,  Thackeray  and  Kipling  special  col- 
lections sold  especially  well ;  the  Cruikshank 
and  Rowlandson  illustrated  books  brought 
good  prices,  some  very  high  prices;  and  the 
collected  sets  of  first  editions  brought  quite 
as  much  as  any  one  had  any  right  to  expect. 
A  few  of  the  rarer  lots  and  the  prices  realized 
were  the  following:  Ainsworth's  "Works," 
109  vols.,  a  collected  set  of  first  editions,  Lon- 
don, 1826-1911,  $1350;  Frederick  Augustus,

1767,  Washington's  own  copy,  with  his  auto- 
graph signature  at  the  head  of  the  title  and 
with  his  book  plate,  $1,550;  Lord  Dulwer 
Lytton's  "Works,"  127  vols.,  v.  p.  1820-1883, 
collected  set  of  first  editions,  $1,225;  Cruik- 
shank's  "The  Humorist,"  4  vols.,  morocco, 
London,  1819-20,  an  uncut  copy  of  the  first 
issue  of  the  first  edition,  $825 ;  Dickens's 
"Writings,"  73  vols.,  morocco,  London  and 
Boston,  1836-1882,  a  collected  set  of  first  edi- 
tions, $2,300;  "Pickwick  Papers,"  1836-37,  in 


parts,  first  issue  of  the  first  edition  thruout, 
$3.450;  Milton's  "L' Allegro,"  London  1920-21, 
a  beautifully  executed  manuscript  in  the  style 
of  the  early  15th  century,  $1,000;  Kipling's 
"Letters  of  Marque,"  London,  1911,  one  of  two 
known  copies,  the  remainder  of  the  edition 
having  been  suppressed  by  the  author,  $1,525 ; 
Charles  Lever's  "Works,"  55  vols.,  calf, 
Dublin,  London  and  Edinburgh,  1839-1879,  a 
collected  set  of  first  editions,  $950;  six  original 
water  color  drawings  by  Thomas  Rowlandson, 
signed  and  bound  in  morocco,  circa  1800-1815,

parts,  1853-65,  in  choice  condition,  $850; 
Thackeray's  "Works,"  53  vols.,  calf,  London, 
1840-1879,  a  collected  set  of  first  editions, 
$850;  "Vanity  Fair"  in  parts,  London  1847- 
48,  first  issue  with  all  of  the  advertisements 
and  slips,  $2,100;  and  Anthony  Trollope's 
"Works,"  135  vols.,  morocco,  London  and 
Edinburgh,  1848-85,  first  editions  with  eleven 
presentation  copies,  said  to  be  the  best  set  ever 
offered  at  public  sale,  $1,700.

THE   BEAUTIFUL 

AND  DAMNED 

It  is  safe  to  say  that  no  novel  in  two  years  has  been  awaited  with 
such  keen  anticipation.     It  is  the  second  novel  by 

F.  Scott  Fitzgerald 

Author  of  "THIS  SIDE  OF  PARADISE"

$2.OO 


Sidney   Howard   says  of  "The  Beautiful 

and  Damned": 

"It's  a  bully  job,  brilliant — and  it 
cuts  horribly  deep.  Now  we  know 
that  'This  Side  of  Paradise'  wasn't 
all.  There's  no  stopping  him.  He 
will  make  them  all  look  up  this 
time. " 

It  was  Sidney   Howard  who  said,  after 
reading  "This  Side  of  Paradise": 

"F.  Scott  Fitzgerald  is  the  most 
promising  young  writer  in  the  Eng- 
lish language  today. ' '

GEORGE 
MADDEN 
MARTIN 


Faith  in  the  American  woman!  That  is  what  this  Southern  novelist  has. 
Great  things  in  the  world  she  believes  can  be  the  accomplishment  of  her  sex.  By 
her  writings  and  by  manifold  personal  activities  she  is  working  toward  that  end. 

The  famous  "Emmy  Lou"  books  won  for  her  a  vast  audience  of  readers,  to 
whom  the  appeal  of  her  keen  understanding  of  the  child  mind  proved  a  delight. 

Her  stories  of  the  negro  have  aroused  the  attention  of  all  interested  in  the 
race  question.  In  "Children  in  the  Mist"  the  negro  himself  saw  a  thoughtful  and 
serious  presentation  of  his  problem  and  workers  among  the  colored  people  recog- 
nized Mrs.  Martin  as  a  leader  in  thought  upon  the  great  national  problem. 

In  her  fictional  studies  of  childhood  and  of  the  race  question,  Mrs.  Martin 
was   dealing  with  matters  which  she  believes  offer  to  womankind   tremendous 
opportunities  for  fruitful  achievement.     Now  she  has  turned  to  the  central  part 
of  her  belief  and  in  her  new  novel,  "March  On,"  has  written  a  powerful  study  of 
the  modern  woman,  who  finds  in  her  possession  a  sudden  and  complete  emancipa- 
tion in  a  time  when  change  is  attacking  all  aspects  of 
our  national  life. 

Mrs.  Martin  is  an  active  clubwoman,  belonging 
to  many  organizations  both  here  and  abroad.  She  is  an 
able  lecturer,  whose  opportunities  are  frequent  for  pre- 
sentation of  her  thought  on  the  subjects  with  which 
she  keeps  in  close  touch.  Her  friends  know  her 
as  a  charming  woman,  who  combines  the  fine  flavor  of 
the  old  Southern  traditions  with  a  forward  looking 
spirit,  which  is  essentially  her  own. 

MARCH  ON — "Mrs.  Martin's  new  book  has  been  worth  Wait- 
ing for — so  fine  and  moving  a  performance  is  it.  ...  She  has 
given  her  message  to  her  readers  with  a  vitality,  a  flame  of 
conviction,  a  noble  and  sweeping  force  of  portrayal.  .  .  .  It  is 
a  novel  of  today  that  speaks  thrillingly  with  the  voice  of  the 
younger  generation.  ...  It  is  a  novel,  too,  that  is  just  now 
of  peculiarly  timely  consequence  ...  a  stirring,  flaming  banner 
proclaiming  the  iniquity  of  war." — N.  Y.  Times  Book  Review.

city.  Arriving  there,  he  discovered — -what?  That  the  woman  had  vanished,  apparently

TO  THE  TRADE: 

On  Sunday,  February  twelfth,  IF  WINTER  COMES  will  be  six  months 
old.  Back  on  August  twelfth,  1921,  we  published  this  novel  with  high 
hopes  for  it,  but  with  no  idea  that  it  would  be  the  most  popular  book 
in  years.  But  just  that  has  happened!  The  advance  sales  of  IF  WINTER  GOMES 
were  8600  copies,  including  1500  copies  sent  to  Canada.  To  date  we  have 
shipped  out  265,673  copies,  and  the  305th  thousand  is  printing.  We  know  of 
no  other  novel  published  in  the  twentieth  century,  which,  starting  out  in 
,  a  smnll  way,  has  rolled  up  such  a  total  in  so  short  a  time. 

IF  WINTER  CONES  still  heads  the  lists  of  best  sellers  both  in 
England  and  America,  and  according  to  the  latest  report  in  the  Bookman 
is  the  novel  most  in  demand  at  the  public  libraries.  We  have  every 
reason  to  believe  that  its  popularity  will  continue  undiminished  for 
many  months  to  come,  and  it  seems  likely  that  this  splendid  novel  is 
destined  to  break  records  in  point  of  total  sales. 

We  find  a  steadily  increasing  demand  for  Mr.  Hutchinson's  other 
novels,  ONCE  ABO.'iRD  THE  LUGGER--,  THE  HAPPY  WARRIOR,  and  THE  CLEAN  HEART, 
and  there  is  every  indication  that  during  1922  they  will  out-sell  most 
new  novels. 

Hutchinson's  place  in  literature  as  one  of  the  really  great  novelists 
•of  this  century  has  been  definitely  established. •  His  books  will  be  in 
active  demand  for  many  years  to  come.  In  response  to  numerous  requests, 
we  shall  issue  on  February  twenty-fifth  an  attractive  Pocket  Edition, 
bound  in  limp  leather,  of  bis  four  novels,  and  we  believe  that  the  book 
trade  will  find  a  ready  sale  for  this  edition  among  their  many  customers 
who  wish  to  have  all  of  Hutchinson's  novels  on  their  library  shelves. 

With  much  appreciation  of  the  splendid  cooperation  on  the  part  of 
the  book  trade  throughout  the  country,  without  which  such  an  amazing 
success  as  that  of  IF  WINTER  COMES  would  have  been  impossible,  we  are

Within  the  brief  space  of  two  years  Mr.  Anthony  Pryde  has  won  an  enviable  place 
among  writers  of  romantic  fiction,  and  a  popularity  among  fiction  readers  which 
is  constantly  growing.  A  writer  with  a  marked  facility  in  the  manipulation  oi 
plots,  he  is  also  the  possessor  of  a  gift  for  creating  characters  who  stand  out 
in  sharply  defined  reality  from  their  background  and  from  one  another  and  who 
speak  in  a  brilliant,  audacious  fashion.  His  novels  are  swiftly  moving,  revolv- 
ing about  situations  which  are  often  bold  and  startling.  His  scene  is  almost 
invariably  the  political  and  fashionable  England  of  today  and  his  people  the 
urbane,  sophisticated  men  and  women  who  inhabit  it. 

The  qualities  which  have  made  Mr.  Pryde's  other  books  popular  are  present  in 
ample  measure  in  An  Ordeal  of  Honor.  The  story  of  a  man  accused  of  a  crime 
in  which  he  has  no  part,  of  misfortune  heroically  borne,  and  of  a  love  which  en- 
dures in  spite  of  doubt  and  even  degradation,  it  is  a  book  which  is  unfailingly 
dramatic  and  which  will  assure  the  author  of  a  still  warmer  place  in  the  esteem 
of  the  many  readers  whom  his  other  novels  have  won  for  him.  $2  net.

KIMONO

Chronicle 


One  of  the  "big  books"  of  1922! 


«  "What  Interests  People?" 

9. 

Lord  Northcliffe  says  in  a  recent  article  in  The  American 
Magazine  that  "among  the  two  or  three  books  people 
CL<  are  most  interested  in  just  now  on  the  other  side  is 

KIMONO,  a  novel  of  Anglo-Saxon  and  Japanese  life." 

O      Reading  the  reviews  from  the  English  press  makes  one  cer- 

J^H  tam  that  the  book  will  start  a  furore  over  here.     (We 

were  going  to  quote  some  of  the  fine  comments  of  the 

foreign  press,  but  refer  you  to  the  end  papers  of  the  novel 

itself,  where  about  fifteen  or  so  are  given.) 

^i  KIMONO  is  the  story  of  the  marriage  of  an  Englishman 
to  a  Japanese  girl,  an  orphan  of  great  wealth,  who 
has  been  brought  up  in  Europe;  of  how  they  go  to  Japan  .  . 
against  the  advice  of  their  friends  and  for  a  time  are 
parted,  half  by  the  efforts  of  her  Japanese  relatives,  and 
half  by  his  discovery  that  her  money  is  derived  from 
property  in  the  Yoshiwara  (Japan's  official  houses  of 

•  •  prostitution) . 

But   more,   Japan,  the  mysterious,  the  inscrutable,  its  soul     <^ 
and  spirit,  are  revealed  never  to  be  forgotten. 

The  author  of  KIMONO  is  a  well-known  English  diplomat, 

who  was  attached  for  five  years  to  the  British  Legation      O 
in  Japan  (John  Paris  is  a  pseudonym). 

KIMONO  is  destined  to  be  a  great  seller  without  a  doubt 
from  the  hour  the  book  is  out  on  your  counters  (several 
American  publishers  have  made  flattering  offers  for  our      N^N 
rights).       The    more   you   have   on   hand,   of  course — !

YOUNG    BOSWELL  BY   CHAUNCEY   BREWSTER   TINKER 

Professor  Tinker  of  Yale  University,  the  recognized  authority  on  i8th  century  Eng- 
lish literature,  gives  us  here  a  new  book  based  on  what  is  considered  to  be  a  miraculous 
discovery  of  manuscript  letters  written  by  the  Boswell,  not  yet  known  to  fame,  to  Rosseau, 
Oliver  Goldsmith,  John  Wilkes,  and  many  of  the  celebrities  and  notorieties  of  the  day.  A 
few  of  Professor  Tinker's  chapters  will  be  printed  in  the  ATLANTIC.  In  the  book  there 
will  be  many  illustrations,  chiefly  reproductions  of  manuscripts  and  unfamiliar  prints.  The 
volume  will  therefore  have  the  same  appearance  as  A.  Edward  'Newton's  highly  popular 
"Amenities  of  Book  Collecting"  and  "A  Magnificent  Farce,"  and  will  doubtless  have  the 
same  wide  appeal  as  well  as  an  important  place  in  permanent  literature.

THE   IRON   MAN  BY  ARTHUR  POUND 

Arthur  Pound,  an  alumnus  of  the  University  of  Michigan,  lives  at  Flint,  a  manufac- 
turing center  for  automobiles,  where  the  development  of  automatic  machinery  has  been 
carried  to  the  highest  point.  THE  IRON  MAN  is  the  automatic  machine,  and  Mr.  Pound 
studies  its  effect  upon  human  beings  in  a  variety  of  ways  and  in  their  relations  with  life. 
His  knowledge  of  the  human  problems  of  factory  management  is  the  result  of  years  of 
intelligent  and  imaginative  study.  A  few  of  the  articles  have  appeared  in  the  ATLANTIC, 
where  they  have  attracted  much  attention.

A  GLANCE  TOWARD   SHAKESPEARE 

BY  JOHN  JAY  CHAPMAN 

John  Jay  Chapman,  scholar  and  man  of  letters,  is  also  the  author  of  William  Lloyd 
Garrison,  a  recent  addition  to  the  Atlantic  .Monthly  Press  book-list.  His  new  book 
contains  a  number  of  short  papers  on  the  individual  plays  and  on  such  topics  as  "The 
Plays  as  Poetry,"  "On  the  Stage,"  "Shakespeare's  Types."  and  "Notes  on  Enunciation,"  and 
"On  American  Speech."  Full  of  brilliant  criticism  and  suggestions  it  will  make  a  special 
appeal  to  general  readers  as  well  as  to  teachers  of  literature.

FINDING    YOUTH  By  NELSON  ANDREWS 

Sixty  Years  is  the  age  for  Finding  Youth,  according  to  Nelson  Andrews,  and  his  re- 
markable story  is  one  of  actual  experience.  It  is  an  intensely  interesting  account  of  the 
way  in  which  this  man  took  Fate  by  storm,  found  work,  and  founded  a  community  made 
of  other  young  men  and  women  of  his  own  age.  The  author  says :  "This  story  is  told 
because  others  need  to  know  it.  They  need  to  know  it  now,  when  all  the  world  is  making 
a  blind  struggle  to  find  youth — a  new  creative  spirit."  It  is  an  inspiring  message  of  hope 
and  optimism  to  older  men  and  a  story  of  strong  human  interest.

CONSOLATION  By  MRS.  ALBION  FELLOWS  BATON

brought  hundreds  of  letters  to  the  editor's  desk,  and  in  response  to  many  expressions  of 
hope  that  it  would  appear  in  a  more  permanent  form,  it  is  now  reprinted  as  an  Easter 
booklet,  in  order  that  Mrs.  Bacon's  rarely  beautiful  and  comforting  message  may  reach 
an  ever-increasing  number  of  thosie  who  stand  in  need  of  such  solace.

Four  Unusual  Abingdon  Books 


BEYOND  SHANGHAI 

By  HAROLD  SPEAKMAN 

This  exceedingly  charming  "look  in"  upon  China  is  unique  because  it 
is  "different."  The  author  says :  "I  made  a  solemn  compact  with  myself 
not  to  attempt  to  describe,  sketch,  or  otherwise  molest  the  imperial  palaces 
at  Peking,  but  to  see  as  much  as  I  could  of  the  Chinese  people  themselves 
in  their  humblest  and  most  intimate  surroundings,  to  live  alone  with  the 
Chinese  and  to  eat  their  food."  And  this  he  did,  and  the  fruitage  of  his 
unusual  experiences  is  given  in  this  interesting  book,  embellished  by  eight 
illustrations  in  color  from  paintings  made  on  the  spot  by  the  author.

This  is  the  first  time  that  the  new  titles  of  these  "Important"  series  have 
been  published  at  this  season  of  the  year.  We  are  making  this  innovation 
because  we  believe  that  right  now,  in  the  after-holiday  season,  there  is  an 
opportunity  to  push  the  sales  of  Juvenile  books  into  almost  undreamed  of 
figures. 

And  why  not?  These  winter  afternoons  and  evenings  are  ideal  times  for  the 
boy  and  girl  to  read;  the  books  which  the  youngsters  receive  at  Christmas 
time  have  aroused  their  fresh  interest  in  the  different  juvenile  series;  in  many 
cases  they  still  have  their  Christmas  money  to  spend.  Just  consider  what 
an  appeal  the  New  Reduced  Price  will  make  to  them! 

Isn't  this  the  psychological  moment  to  give  them  new  titles  in  the  most 
popular  series  in  the  market  —  the  series  they  have  learned  to  enjoy;  —  the 
new  titles  they  look  for  and  have  never  had  before  at  this  time? 

It  certainly  looks  to  us  as  though  this  gives  a  tremendously  big  opportunity 
to  follow  up  the  Christmas  trade  ot  books  for  the  boys  and  girls. 

You  can  enjoy  a  large  Juvenile  business  now.

The  Canyon  of  the  Fools 

by  Richard  Matthews  Hallet 


Richard  Matthews  Hallet  is  the  man 
whose  serial  stories  have  won  such 
genuine  approval  from  America's  mil- 
lions of  magazine  readers.  Because 
he  is  a  born  story  teller,  who  puts 
into  his  work  the  essence  of  adventure 
and  romance  and  humor  as  he  has 
distilled  them  from  life  by  his  own 
astonishing  contacts.  Since  his  uni- 
versity days  he  has  combed  the  land  and  the  sea  for 
experience.  The  result  is  a  first  novel  whose  distinctive 
humor,  unique  plot  and  picaresque  characters  set  it  in  a 
class  apart  from  the  work  of  any  of  the  younger  American 
writers  of  to-day.  It  is  a  story  of  a  hunt  for  gold,  a  tale 
of  love  and  excitement,  told  with  chuckles. 

A  book  that  will  be  read  for  the  sheer  joy  of  the 
reading.  No  description  can  possibly  get  the  spirit 
of  it.  We  feel  its  success  is  assured.  It  will  be  pub- 
lished March  16th.  $2.00

by  S.  B.  H.  Hurst 

It  was  published  on  February  1st.  Al- 
ready critics  are  vindicating  the  Pub- 
lishers' judgment  that  in  the  author  of 
this  strange  tale  they  have  made  a  liter- 
ary find. 

Sidney  Williams  in  the  Philadelphia 
North  American:  "Seldom  indeed,  ap- 
pears a  tale  comparable  to  Coomer  Ali 
in  candid  unveiling  of  men  in  the  clutch 
of  greed."  Wilson  Follett:  "I  size  Mr.  Hurst  up  as  a  writer 
who  can  never  be  anything  but  inimitable  and  a  delight;  his 
hurricane  at  sea  is  the  next  best  thing  to  Conrad's 
Typhoon.  I  read  the  book  with  vast  enjoyment,  and  at 
one  sitting." 

It's  a  breath-taking  story  of  intrigue — of  Mohammed- 
ans and  white  men  who  have  cast  their  lot  in  the  Far 
East.  Re-order  to  day  on  this  book  which  is  being 
widely  advertised,  and  which  will  bring  every  buyer 
back  for  the  other  S.  B.  H.  Hurst  novels  to  follow.

THE    AMERICAN    BOOK   TRADE   JOURNAL 
FOUNDED  BY  F.  LEYPOLDT

"/  hold  every  man  a  debtor  to  his  profession, 
from  the  which,  as  men  of  course  do  seek  to 
receive  countenance  and  profit,  so  ought  they  of 
duty  to  endeavor  themselves,  by  way  of  amends, 
to  be  a  help  and  ornament  thereunto." — BACON. 

The  Worth  of  a  Salesman's  Time 

IT  is  worth  while  for  industry  to  pause  occa- 
sionally to  estimate  the  industrial  value  of 
those  men  who  tour  the  country  month  after 
month,  bringing  to  the  attention  of  the  retailers 
the  product  of  the  manufacturers. 

Those  who  carefully  study  the  problems  of 
distribution  and  the  elements  that  enter  into 
successful  and  economical  merchandising  never 
fail  to  come  from  such  an  investigation  with  an 
increased  respect  for  the  pivotal  value  of  those 
who  in  the  field  are  the  representatives  of  es- 
tablished lines  or  of  new  proposals.  It  is  some- 
times speciously  argued  that  there  would  be  a 
saving  in  the  ultimate  cost  of  a  product  if  the 
expenses  of  travelers  were  dispensed  with,  but 
actual  experiments  in  this  direction  have  shown 
that  this  change  is  uneconomical  in  result,  and 
that  only  by  means  of  personal  presentation 
can  the  goods  be  distributed  in  quantities  that 
accomplish  low  production  cost. 

The  method  that  preceded  this  era  of  the 
traveler  was  the  system  that  brought  the  retailer 
annually  or  semi-annually  to  the  large  distri- 
buting centers  to  select  his  goods.  There  is  in 
this  operation  a  larger  expenditure  of  time  than 
by  having  travelers  in  the  field,  except  in  some 
lines  of  merchandise,  where  the  year's  buying 
can  be  planned  at  one  special  time  and  where 
there  are  advantages  in  seeing  large  contrasted 
groups  of  merchandise  at  one  time. 

Successful  retailers  who  analyze  the  ele- 
ments that  have  permitted  them  promptly  and 
adequately  to  meet  the  needs  of  their  com- 
munities are  always  generous  in  their  appre- 
ciation of  what  the  contact  with  the  well-in- 
formed traveler  means  to  them.  They  get 
information,  suggestions  and  selling  inspira- 
tion that  could  not  be  had  from  cold  type,  and 
these  travelers  acquire  a  keen  faculty  of  taking 
from  one  place  to  another  ideas  for  buying  and 
selling  that  are  an  important  contribution  to 
the  success  of  all  stores. 


The  old-fashioned  idea  that  a  traveler  was 
a  man  to  be  kept  scraping  his  feet  on  the  door 
mat  has  pretty  well  passed  away,  altho  there 
are  still  some  buyers  who  believe  that  they 
need  high  fences  around  their  time  in  order  to 
protect  them  from  the  inroads  of  the  sample 
cases.  The  contact  between  the  traveler  and 
the  retailer  is  after  all  a  short  allotment  of 
time  for  the  value  that  can  be  obtained,  and  if 
the  retailer  is  well-prepared  with  a  knowledge 
of  his  business  and  local  conditions,  there  is 
everything  to  gain  by  giving  ample  time  to  the 
traveler  and  not  only  in  giving  ample  time  but 
giving  it  as  promptly  as  conditions  permit. 
The  idea  that  the  dignity  of  a  buyer  is  in- 
creased by  the  number  of  hours  he  can  keep 
someone  waiting  in  his  city  for  attention  should 
pass  out  along  with  all  other  misunderstandings 
between  buyer  and  seller.  In  the  long  run  the 
buyer  must  pay  for  waste  of  time  just  as  he 
must  pay  for  everything  that  affects  the  cost 
of  a  product,  and  in  these  times  when  every- 
one is  interested  in  reduction  of  cost  there  is  a 
real  reason  for  careful  husbanding  of  the  time 
of  the  travelers. 

One  Thousand  Members  Needed 

REPORTS  coming  in  from  the  Executive 
Committee  of  the  American  Booksellers' 
Association  indicate  that  it  is  aggressive- 
ly handling  the  vital  problem  of  increased 
membership.  The  Convention  last  spring  set 
1000  members  as  its  objective,  and  no  better 
time  could  be  selected  for  such  a  drive.  Book- 
sellers scattered  over  the  country  too  little  real- 
ize what  the  national  organization,  even  with  its 
slight  machinery,  has  done  to  better  the  con- 
ditions under  which  they  work,  and  even  tho 
unable  to  attend  the  Convention,  these  dealers 
ought  to  give  their  moral  support  by  joining 
and  their  financial  support  which  will  enable 
the  Executive  Committee  to  accomplish  more. 
One  of  the  Convention  Committee  recently 
wrote :  "Many  of  our  prominent  booksellers 
who  are  not  members  of  the  A.  B'.  A.  are 
laboring  under  the  impression  that  our  Con- 
ventions are  just  a  lark  and  that  many  things 
are  discussed  there  that  have  no  vital  im- 
portance or  are  not  important  enough  to 
warrant  their  attending  the  Convention. 

"Now  is  the  time  to  correct  this  impression. 
The  future  of  the  book  business  has  great 
promise,  and  we  must  make  our  organization 
complete  and  make  it  stand  for  nationwide 
effort  to  improve  bookselling  conditions."

Maintaining  Standards 

STATISTICS  and  percentages  have  never 
received  such  wide  attention  as  in  the  past 
few  years.  We  find  them  on  all  sides 
molding  our  opinions.  It  often  seems,  however, 
as  tho  figures  were  quite  generally  suspected 
by  those  that  read  them.  Among  current  sta- 
tistics received  are  some  from  the  National  In- 
dustrial Conference  Board  whose  charts  show 
that  the  dollar  is  now  worth  61,1  c.  This  would 
mean  that  $2  ought  to  buy  $1.22  worth  of  books 
at  the  1914  level.  It  does,  in  fact,  buy  about 
$1.40  worth,  but  the  retailer  who  may  suggest 
this  will  find  that  customers  do  not  believe 
figures  implicitly. 

From  the  Federal  Reserve  statistics  just  at 
hand  we  find  that  the  Department  of  Labor 
estimates  that  December  wholesale  prices  were 
at  149,  again  a  higher  figure  than  that  which 
is  current  on  books.  The  Department  of  Labor 
figures  indicate  that  the  cost  of  living  in  Xew 
York  City  is  at  178.1 ;  again  books  seem  to  be 
low.  Furniture  and  household  furnishings  are 
at  232;  miscellaneous  at  216.9.  Books  pre- 
sumably fall  into  one  of  these  two  classifica- 
tions but  it  is  important  to  note  that  books  are 
one  of  the  commodities  which  are  far  below 
the  average. 

We  notice  a  comment  on  book  prices  from 
the  makers  of  binding  board,  who  point  out 
that  their  prices  have  come  down  heavily 
while  books  only  slightly,  but  binding  board 
went  up  the  300%  by  1920,  and  even  after  a 
heavy  drop  is  still  100%  higher  than  in  1914. 
If  books  had  gone  up  on  the  same  rocketing 
plane,  there  would  be  plenty  of  room  to  come 
down. 

All  of  these  fresh  figures  do  not  indicate 
that  there  should  not  be  a  continuing  effort 
to  keep  prices  of  books  at  the  lowest  level 
possible,  as  it  is  everyone's  wish  to  get  the 
widest  distribution  obtainable.  At  the  same 
time,  there  is  comment  from  many  sides  on  the 
need  of  improving  the  physical  aspect  of  all 
books  to  give  them  greater  beauty  and  dur- 
ability. 

In  our  department  of  Good  Book-Making, 
we  have  been  endeavoring  to  keep  this  sub- 
ject to  the  front  steadily  during  the  time  when 
standards  of  manufacture  were  difficult  to 
maintain.  We  now  believe  that  increasing- 
discussion  should  be  given  to  this  subject, 
as  books  that  are  worth  printing  are  worth 
printing  in  a  way  that  will  be  attractive  and 
durable.  It  is  not  possible  to  plan  each  new 


book  in  several  different  types  of  editions,  one 
for  the  collector,  one  for  the  library  and  one 
for  the  casual  reader.  All  groups  have  got 
to  be  supplied  from  one  common  stock  but 
greater  dignity  and  durability  can  be  obtained 
over  a  wider  group  of  current  publications, 
and  publishers  must  realize  that  dealers  and 
consumers  are  very  much  alert  on  this  subject 
at  the  present  time. 

Turnovers  and  Leftovers 

ABOUT  fifteen  years  ago,"  writes  a  pub- 
lisher, "I  was  taken  to  the  buyers'  room 
in  one  of  the  large  department  stores  of 
Boston.    There  were  booths  along  one  side  of 
the  room,  and  above  the  row  of  booths  extend- 
ing the  length  of  the  room  in  large  letters  were 
painted  the  words : 

WE   MAKE    MONEY   ON   OUR   TURNOVERS    AND   LOSE 
MONEY   ON   OUR   LEFTOVERS 

There  has  been  unquestionably  a  new  appre- 
ciation of  what  the  turnover  may  mean,  and 
its  importance  has  not  escaped  the  attention  of 
every  good  retailer.  As  a  rule  for  present 
business  prosperity,  the  above  motto  is  hard  to 
improve  upon. 

At  the  recent  annual  meeting  of  the  National 
Association  of  Book  Publishers,  President 
Hiltman  spoke  of  the  present  importance  of 
quick  turnover  in  the  book  world,  and  said  that 
he  believed  the  publishers  as  well  as  retailers 
must  mould  their  business  plans  to  have  quick 
turnover  and  lose  less  on  the  leftover.  As  the 
time  for  spring  orders  comes  and  the  travelers 
appear  with  catalogs  and  lists  of  new  books, 
this  subject  is  one  which  is  again  vitally  to  the 
front. 

The  best  way  to  increase  turnover  on  already 
published  books  seems  to  be  to  take  ample  time 
to  check  the  catalogs  with  regard  to  past  sales 
and  present  stock.  The  public  is  not  going  to 
be  permanently  interested  in  the  bookstore  that 
does  not  take  great  pains  to  have  the  books 
wanted  on  hand  when  they  are  called  for,  and 
a  slighting  of  check-ups  is  a  quick  method  of 
bringing  that  kind  of  criticism  upon  the  book- 
seller's head. 

In  spite  of  the  fluctuating  character 
of  book  demands,  the  sales  and  pur- 
chases of  one  year  do  give  valuable  information 
as  to  the  needs  of;  the  next.  Not  to  take  time 
and  pains  to  get  the  benefit  of  that  information 
is  to  encourage  careless  buying.  The  booksel- 
ler wtho  had  a  market  for  ten  copies  of  a  staple 
book  in  the  spring  months  of  last  year  is  as 
much  mistaken  if  he  orders  one  copy  this  year 
as  if  he  orders  fifteen  copies.  Neither  order 
is  based  on  accurate  knowledge  or  understand- 
ing of  turnover.

Act  Now  for  a  Just  Tariff  on  Books 

The  Present  Schedules  in  the  Fordnev  Bill  Menace  all  Book  Interests 


IF  the  Fonlney  Tariff  Bill  should  pass  in  its 
present  form  the  book  business  of  the  United 
States  and  the  educational  and  literary  interests 
of  the  country-  would  suffer  to  an  unpar- 
alleled extent.  A  strong  presentation  of  the 
need  of  changes  in  the  bill  has  been  made  to 
the  Ways  and  Means  Committee  and  to  the 
Senate  Finance  Committee  by  representatives 
of  the  publishers,  booksellers,  libraries,  educa- 
tional institutions  and  toy  book  manufacturers. 
The  tariff  is  now  at  the  front  for  final  action, 
and  every  member  of  the  book-trade  and  every 
institution  interested  in  the  use  of  books  should 
put  behind  these  filed  protests  their  strongest 
and  most  urgent  personal  pressure,  in  order 
that  the  danger  may  be  averted.  No  tariff  is 
settled  until  the  Bill  is  finally  passed  and  signed, 
and  in  the  next  two  weeks  protests  to  Con- 
gress and  especially  to  members  of  the  Finance 
Committee  of  the  Senate  are  extremely  im- 
portant. 

In  order  to  make  clear  the  character  of  the 
most  needed  changes,  seven  points  are  listed  on 
the  following  page  and  following  that  are  ten- 
tatively suggested  the  revisions  that  would  be 
needed  in  order  to  bring  these  changes  about. 

Changes  in  paragraph  1529-30  would  put 
books  over  twenty  years  old  and  books  in 
foreign  languages  back  on  the  free  list.  There 
has  been  no  good  reason  suggested  from  any 
direction  for  the  omission  of  these  from  the 
free  list.  Books  over  twenty  years  old  are 
non-competitive,  they  are  needed  for  the  enrich- 
ment of  the  educational  and  literary  resources 
of  the  country.  The  income  from  a  tariff  on 
these  would  be  of  negligible  value  to  the  gov- 
ernment compared  to  the  importance  of  having 
such  material  come  readily  to  our  public  and 
private  libraries.  The  public  libraries  would 
be  exempt  from  this  tax  by  further  provisions 
but  would  have  the  annoying  detail  of  filing 
manifestos  with  each  importation. 

Xo  printers  or  publishers  in  this  country 
have  contended  that  there  is  need  of  a  protection 
on  foreign  language  books,  and  to  omit  them 
from  the  free  list  would  be  a  step  backward 
that  should  not  be  thought  of.  We  owe  it  to 
ourselves  to  have  the  fullest  and  easiest  intel- 
lectual contact  with  all  the  world,  and  we  owe 
it  to  all  our  new  citizens  that  they  be  able  to 
obtain  books  in  their  own  languages  without 
extra  expense. 

The  duty  on  English  books  under  twenty 
years  old  has  been  set  at  twenty  per  cent, 
which  is  five  per  cent  higher  than  the  last  tariff 
and  five  percent  lower  than  the  previous  Repub- 
lican tariff.  Competent  testimony  shows  that 
books  can  be  manufactured  here  as  cheaply  as 


in  England,  and  twenty  per  cent  is  ample  pro- 
tection for  the  printers. 

It  would  be  especially  unfortunate  to  double 
or  triple  this  by  the  use  of  such  expedients  as 
the  American  Valuation  or  the  use  of  American 
wholesale  prices,  instead  of  English  cost  prices 
for  levying  this  duty.  The  American  Valua- 
tion Plan  of  appraisement  as  provided  for  in 
the  present  draft  of  the  bill  in  Section  402 
would  be  almost  impossible  of  application  to 
books.  No  two  books  are  exactly  alike,  and 
the  appraisers  would  be  obliged  to  give  the 
American  importers  unwarranted  delays  while 
they  endeavored  to  estimate  what  the  American 
valuation  of  a  book  might  be. 

The  theory  of  American  Valuation  has  been 
to  protect  American  manufacturers  against  the 
product  of  the  countries  where  there  was  extra- 
ordinary monetary  depression.  The  condition 
of  English  exchange,  however,  does  not  justify 
such  radical  measures  to  protect  American  book 
industry,  and  such  protection  has  not  been 
asked  for  by  the  publishers.  The  only  type 
of  book  that  might  suffer  from  such  compe- 
tition is  the  children's  toy  book,  which  should 
be  more  clearly  protected  in  the  toy  section,  as 
per  the  sound  suggestion  of  the  toy  book  manu- 
facturers. 

If  Congress  should  adopt  in  place  of  the 
American  Valuation  method  the  plan  of  basing 
tariff  on  American  wholesale  prices  instead  of 
on  the  cost  in  the  country  of  exportation,  this 
would  practically  double  the  duty  on  books 
with  a  great  disadvantage  to  the  people  as  a 
\vhole  to  whom  access  to  books  of  all  countries 
at  the  lowest  rate  possible  is  of  more  import- 
ance than  this  slight  added  revenue  for  the 
government. 

The  insertion  in  the  book  paragraph  (1310) 
of  a  special  tho  ambiguous  reference  lo  leather 
bound  books  is  not  justified  by  the  needs  of  the 
case.  Evidence  before  the  Senate  Finance 
Committee  shows  that  leather  binding  is  at 
present  as  low  in  this  country  as  they  are  in 
England  and  that  twenty  per  cent  tariff  would 
amply  protect  the  binding  industry  of  leather 
bound  as  well  as  cloth  bound  books  and  books 
in  sheets. 

The  change  in  d.ufy  free  privileges  of  libraries 
to  restrict  their  totals*  has  not  been  justified 
by  any  evidence  submitted,  and  the  restriction 
on  the  amount  that  families  may  bring  into  the 
country  of  books  in  their  private  libraries  is 
c-ntirely  uncalled  for  and  not  needed  by  any 
standard  of  protective  measures. 

The  evidence  placed  before  Congress  has  con- 
sisted of  a  brief  presented  and  filed  by  John 
Macrae,  representing  the  publishers  and  book-

sellers,  a  very  carefully  analyzed  presentation 
of  the  faults  in  the  measure  presented  by  M. 
Llewellyn  Raney,  representing  the  American 
Library  Association  and  the  educational  inter- 
ests of  the  country ;  a  brief  representing  the 

retailers  filed  last  fafll  with  the  Wkiys  and  Means 
Committee  by  Charles  E.  Butler,  representing 
the  booksellers,  and  a  later  brief  with  careful 
reanalysis  of  the  situation  from  a  retail  point 
of  view  presented  to  the  Senate  Finance  Com- 
mittee by  Charles  E.  Lauriat,  Jr.,  of  Boston ;  a 
brief  presented  and  filed  by  'Charles  E.  Graham, 
representing  the  toy  book  manufacturers. 

The  printers  and  binders  sent  counsel  to 
argue  for  a  higher  duty  than  the  twenty  per 
cent,  but  presented  no  concrete  figures  to  in- 
dicate that  American  industry  needed  a  higher 
rate  for  its  prosperity.  The  difference  between 
the  cost  in  the  two  countries  is  now  too  closely 
paralleled  to  make  such  a  rate  just  or  produc- 
tive in  any  sense. 

The  brief  presented  by  the  libraries  did  not 
touch  on  the  need  for  the  elimination  of  the 
American  Valuation  or  American  wholesale 
method  of  appraisement  which  is  so  important 
to  the  book-trade,  as  this  would  not  affect  their 
duty  free  privilege  which  is  being  supported 
by  all  parties.  But,  while  the  libraries  would 
not  be  affected  by  the  duty  on  old  books  or  on 
foreign  books,  if  levied,  they  have  given  the 
strong  weight  of  their  protest  in  America's  best 
interest. 

Let  Everyone  Write   Congress 

Every  one  in  the  book-trade  or  library  and 
educational  world  who  believes  in  keeping  the 
channels  of  book  distribution  open  and  on  a 
just  and  reasonable  basis  should  write  to  Con- 
gress either  to  the  Committee  members  or  oth- 
ers in  order  that  the  vital  importance  of  ohang« 
es  in  the  book  paragraphs  be  not  overlooked. 

If  this  book-trade  statement  were  put  in  the 
hands  of  every  local  paper  a  wave  of  interest 


would  be  started  that  would  reach  Washing- 
ton.

FORDNEY  TARIFF  BILL— H.  R.  7456 
The  following  changes  in  the  book  schedules   are  urgently  recommended : 


I.  The  duty  on  all  books  bound  or  un- 
bound except  such  as  may  be  otherwise  pro- 
vided for  should  not  be  more  than  20% 
ad  valorem  based  on  cost  price  to  im- 
porter in  country  of  exportation  (Par.  1310.) 

2.  Children's   toy  >  books    should   be  pro- 
tected under  toys  (Par.  1414)  with  clarified 
description  of  what  constitutes  a  toy  book 
and  the  40%  duty  as  proposed. 

3.  Books  should  be  specifically  exempted 
from     American     Valuation     appraisement 
(Sec.  402)  as  being  impractical  to  apply  and 
unnecessary   for  adequate  protection  of  this 
American  industry. 


4.  Books  over  20  years  old  should  be  re- 
instated on  the  Free  List.     (Par.  1529.) 

5.  Books  in  foreign  languages  should  be 
reinstated  on  the  Free  List.  (Par.  1530.) 

6.  Libraries  and  educational  institutions 
should   be  given  the   same   duty  free   priv- 
ilege as  before,  i.  e.,  not  to  exceed  two  in 
any  one  invoice  instead  of  two  in  all.  (Par. 
1531.) 

7.  The   libraries   of   families  from  other 
countries   should  be  duty   free  without  the 
limitation  of  $250.     (Par.   1532.) 


February  u,  1922

i.  Duty  on  books  should  not  be  more  than 
20  per  cent  ad  valorem  based  on  cost  price 
to  importer  in  country  of  exportation. 

This  would  be  accomplished  by  inserting  the 
following  in  Par.  1310,  after  the  words  "20  per 
centum  ad  valorem." 

"on  the  actual  price  paid  or  to  be  paid  in 
the  country  of  exportation,  not  inclusive 
of  royalties,  or,  in  the  case  such  price  is 
not  predetermined,  then  the  wholesale  price 
or  market  value,  not  inclusive  of  royalties 
in  the  country  of  exportation  on  the  quan- 
tities sold  for  such  exportation." 
Leather  bound  books  would  be  given  ade- 
quate protection  when  covered  by  the  same 
20  per  cent  as  other  books. 

This  would  be  accomplished  by  the  elimina- 
tion of  the  ambiguous  line  from  Par.  1310, 
lines  5-7, 

"books  bound  wholly  or  in  part  in  leather, 
the  chief  value  of  which  is  in  the  binding, 
not  specially  provided  for,  33  1/3  per  centum 
ad  valorem." 

2.  Children's    toy    books    should    be    ade- 
quately protected  under  the  toy  schedules  and 
not  by  a  confusing  mention  in  both  book  and 
toy  paragraphs. 

This    can    be    accomplished    by   eliminating 
from  Par.  1310,  lines  7-10, 
"books  of  paper  or  other  material  for  chil- 
dren's use,  printed  lithographically  or  other- 
wise, not  exceeding   in  weight  twenty-four 
ounces     each,     with    more    reading    matter 
than  letters,  numerals,  or  descriptive  words, 
20  per  centum  ad  valorem." 
And  by  slightly  clarifying  the  description  of 
toy   books    used    in    Par.    1414,   which    gives 
40  per  centum  ad  valorem  duty,  to  read,  fol- 
lowing the  words  "toy  balloons"  on  line  2. 
"toy  books  printed  on  paper  or  cloth,  un- 
bound or  flexibly  bound,  or  in  bindings  of 
card  board  bearing  illuminated  cover  design 
for    children,    printed     lithographically    or 
otherwise." 

This  to  take  the  place  of  the  present  descrip- 
tion, which  reads : 

"toy  books  without  reading  matter  other  than 
letters,  numerals  or  descriptive  words, 
bound  or  unbound,  and  parts  thereof." 

3.  There  should  be  a  specific  exemption  of 
books  from  American  Valuation  appraisement 
of  Sec.  402. 

This  should  be  accomplished  by  adding  the 
following  to  Sec.  402  at  the  end  thereof: 

"Provided,  however,  that  books  shall  be 
exempted  from  the  method  of  valuation  pre- 
scribed above  and  "value"  in  the  case  of 
books  shall  mean  the  actual  price  paid  or 
to  be  paid  in  the  country  of  exportation  not 
inclusive  of  royalties,  or,  in  the  cases  where 
such  price  is  not  predetermined,  then  the 
wholesale  price  or  market  value,  not  in- 


clusive of  royalties  in  the  countries  of  ex- 
portation on  the  quantities  sold  for  such 
exportation." 

Testimony  submitted  to  the  Finance  Com- 
mittee of  the  Senate  showed  not  only  that  the 
added  protection  of  American  Valuation  is 
not  needed  or  desired  by  the  book  industry 
but  that  it  would  be  peculiarly  annoying  and 
complicated  in  operation  as  applied  to  books. 
American  Valuation  is  designed  primarily 
as  a  protection  against  the  depreciated  cur- 
rency of  the  countries  of  central  Europe;  but 
those  countries  publish  practically  no  books 
in  the  English  language  and  so  are  not  com- 
petitors of  American  publishers.  The  cur- 
rency of  English  speaking  countries  is  no- 
where sufficiently  depreciated  to  constitute  a 
menace  to  American  publishers,  so  that  the 
most  weighty  argument  in  favor  of  Ameri- 
can Valuation  fails  in  the  case  of  books. 

4.  Books  over  20  years  old  should  be  re- 
turned  to   the    Free    List   as   being   non-com- 
petitive  and   as   necessary   to   the   educational 
and  intellectual  progress  of  the  country. 

This  can  be  done  by  prefixing  to  Par.  1529 
the  following  from  Par.  425  of  the  Act  of 
1913  (agreeing  with  Par.  517  of  the  Act  of 
1909): 

"Books,    maps,    music,    engravings,    photo- 
graphs, etchings,  lithographic  prints,  bound 
or  unbound,  and   charts,  which  shall   have 
been  printed  more  than  20  years  at  the  date 
of  importation,  and  all?' 
Books  over  20  years  old  have  been  on  the 
Free  List  for  half  a  century.     It  would  be  a 
grave    injustice    to    the    scholars    and    book- 
lovers  of  the  country,  as  well  as  to  the  trade, 
to  change  this  long  standing  exemption. 

In  the  hearings  before  the  Finance  Com- 
mittee no  reason  or  argument  was  advanced 
for  imposing  a  duty  on  old  books,  but  every 
speaker  who  mentioned  the  subject  agreed  that 
they  should  be  restored  to  the  free  list. 

5.  Books   in   foreign   languages   should   be 
returned  to  the  Free  List,  as  being  in  no  large 
sense  competitive,   necessary  to  better"  inter- 
national understanding  and  American  scholar- 
ship, and  important  to  a  vast  number  of  our 
new  citizens. 

This  can  be  accomplished  by  prefixing  to 
Par.  1513  the  following  from  Par.  426  of  the 
Act  of  1913  (agreeing  with  Par.  518  of  Act 
of  1909)  : 

"Books  and  pamphlets  wholly  or  chiefly  in 
languages  other  than  English;  also" 

6.  Reinstate   the   former   privileges   of   li- 
braries and  schools  by  making  Par.  1531,  lines 
10  and  12  of  the  Free  List  read: 

"may  import  free  of  duty,  not  to  exceed 
in  any  one  invoice  two  copies  of  any  book, 

map,  music,  engraving,  photograph,  etching, 

lithographic  print,  or  chart." 


34<J 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


There    are    no    indications    that    the    closer 
restriction  is  necessary. 
7.     In  Par.   1532,  reading, 
"Books    and   libraries   of   persons    or    fam- 
ilies from  foreign  countries  if  actually  used 
abroad  by  them  not  less  than  one  year,  and 
not  intended  for  any  other  person  or  per- 
sons, nor  for  sale,  and  not  exceeding  $250 
in  value." 


eliminate  the  words,  "and  not  exceeding  $250 
in  value"  as  not  necessary  for  protective 
purposes. 

No  reason  has  been  advanced  for  the  in- 
sertion of  this  unnecessary  limitation.  It 
would  certainly  not  benefit  the  publishers  and 
book  trade  of  the  United  States,  nor  would 
it  produce  enough  revenue  to  pay  the  cost 
of  administration. 


Making  a  Fortune  on  Four  Hours  a  Day 


By  George  W.   Gether 

Reprinted  from  M.  I.  S.   T. 


HOW  many  hours  a  day  does  the  average 
outside  salesman  work?  It  has  been 
proved  again  and  again  that  by  working 
more,  the  salesman  makes  more  sales,  which 
means  that  he  makes  more  money.  Once  the 
actual  figures  have  been  put  before  a  salesman, 
if  he  is  a  real  salesman  and  not  an  order-taker, 
an  improvement  of  from  50  to  100  per  cent  and 
even  more  is  noticed  in  his  results. 

Some  salesmen  work  only  two  hours  a  day, 
yet  they  manage  to  make  comfortable  livings. 
They  are  happy  and  contented,  and  think  they 
are  successful.  Back  somewhere  in  their  minds 
is  the  dim  thought  of  maybe  making  ten  per 
cent  more  when  "conditions"  are  right. 

They  don't  realize  that  they  could  double 
their  sales  by  doubling  their  two  hours  of  work 
to  four,  making  twice  as  much,  and,  by  saving 
the  increase,  retire  happily  ever  afterward  in 
ten  or  fifteen  years. 

Probably  if  they  were  to  be  told  that  they 
worked  only  two  hours  a  day  they  would  be 
insulted. 

Two  hours  a  day ! 

Let's   see,  now.     Here's  a  salesman's  day : 

8 :3O  to  9-45,  at  the  store ; 

9:45  to  10:10,  trolley  car; 

10:10  to  10:35,  with  prospect; 

10:35  to  10:50,  walking; 

10:50  to  11:30,  with  prospect; 

11:30  to  noon,  trolley  car; 

Noon  to  i  :oo.  lunch  ; 

i  :oo  to  1:50,  fussing  at  desk; 

1-50  to  2:05,  trolley; 

2 :05  to  2  :55,  with  prospect ; 

2:55  to  3:00,  walking; 

3:00  to  3:10,  with  prospect;         » 

3:10  to  3:35,  trolley- 

3  '-35  to  5  :4O,  fussing  about  the  store ; 

5 :4O,   left   for  home. 

How  many  hours  of  work  is  that  Eight 
thirty  to  five  forty,  nine  hours  total?  Not  on 
your  life. 

Look  again.  First,  there's  "10:10  to  10:35, 
with  prospect."  There's  25  minutes  work.  Go 
on  down  the  list.  One  hundred  and  twenty- 
five  minutes  with  prospects — two  hours  and 


five  minutes  of  work  and  the  rest  of  the  day 
gone  blooey !  Not  a  call  in  the  evening,  either. 
the  'best  time  af  all  for  home  selling. 

What  is  work,  anyway?  Work  has  just  one 
justification  and  that  is  the  result.  Mere  ac- 
tivity t(hat  cannot  bring  direct  results  in  sales 
is  no  kind  of  work  for  a  salesman.  The  work 
that  counts  in  selling  is  the  work  done  vrith, 
the  prospect. 

Here  it  is  in  a  nutshell- 

A  salesman  works  only  when  he  is  in  the 
presence  of  the  prospect. 

Of  course  there  are  a  lot  of  unproductive 
things  a  salesman  has  to  do.  He  can't  help  it 
that  all  the  prospects  don't  live  side  by  side  on 
Prospect  street,  but  are  scattered  all  over  the 
map.  He  has  to  spend  time  getting  from 
place  to  place.  He  has  to  spend  a  few  min- 
utes at  headquarters  daily,  getting  the  mail, 
the  latest  dope  from  the  manufacturer,  and 
proving  to  the  boss  that  he  is  on  the  job. 

The  point  is  that  these  unproductive  things 
are  mighty  nice  to  do,  and  it  is  all  too  easy  to 
get  tied  up  in  a  mess  of  inside  stuff  that 
doesn't  lead  anywhere  except  in. 

The  salesman  has  to  get  out — out  where  the 
business  is  to  be  had.  out  among  the  prospects. 
The  more  prospects  he  sees  in  a  day,  the  great- 
er his  chances  of  making  sales  and  the  greater 
his  chances,  the  greater  his  fortune. 

Some  amount  of  unproductive  time  is  inevit- 
able. It  takes  time  to  get  from  place  to  place, 
for  instance.  Yet  much  lost  time  can  be 
turned  to  account — in  the  presence  of  the  pros- 
pect. How  much  is  up  to  you.  If  a  salesman 
is  occupied  with  business  for  eight  hours  a 
day,  it  is  liberal  enough  to  allow  him  half 
that  time  for  traveling,  the  main  and  one  really 
unavoidable  "time  out"  from  selling. 

Four  hours  a  day  for  ivork. 

In  the  presence  of  prospects. 

A  salesman  is  not  working  unless  he  is  sell- 
ing. 

Four  hours  a  day  of  selling. 

In  the  presence  of  prospects.

The  Bookstore's  Star  Salesman 

By  Michael  Gross 

Tlu'  Michael  dross  Company.  Xnv  York. 


341 


IF  you  were  told  there  was  a  third-story  loft 
right   around   the  corner   from  your  present 
location,    into    which    you    could   move   your 
book  shop  and  thereby  cut  your  present  rent 
bill  in  half,  what  would  your  answer  be? 

Undoubtedly  you  would  say  something  to 
this  effect :  "I  know  I  can  save  a  good  deal  of 
money  by  moving  into  a  loft  but  what  chance 
would  I  have  of  doing  business  without  a  show 


Why  should  this  be  so?  Any  book-seller  will 
readily  admit  that  there  is  no  more  faithful 
salesman  in  his  employ  than  the  show  window 
of  his  store.  It  stays  on  the  job  day  and  night ; 
never  takes  an  hour  off  to  eat,  or  a  day  off  to 
loaf ;  is  never  too  tired  to  show  goods — and 
never  asks  for  a  raise.  Vet  how  often  do  we 
find  this  "star  salesman"  being  shamefully  ne- 
glected?  How  often  is  the  show  window  used 


A   MASSKH    UISl'LAY   BROUGHT  BRISK  RESULTS  WHEX    USED  ON    A    BUSY   THOROFARE 


window  in  which  to  display  my  merchandise?" 
Which  answer  would  be  about  one  hundred  per 
cent  correct,  the  proof  of  its  accuracy  being 
that  landlords  figure  practically  the  same  way 
in  determining  the  rent  of  a  store:  two-fifths 
for  the  store  itself  and  three-fifths  for  the  show 
window  which  faces  the  street.  On  main 
thorofares  in  big  cities,  the  show  window  may 
hring  as  high  as  nine-tenths  of  the  total  rent 
cliarged. 

But  while  it  is  true  that  most  booksellers 
sense  the  value  of  their  show  window  as  a 
sales-stimulator,  and  realize  they  are  paying  a 
stiff  premium  for  the  privilege  of  having  one, 
very  few  of  them  really  make  a  profit  on  this 
investment;  in  other  words,  get  enough  in- 
creased business  out  of  their  trims  to  pay  for 
the  window  and  a  little  over  besides. 


merely  to  let  light  into  the  store — instead  of  ad- 
ditional cash  into  the  register. 

No  ether  part  of  a  business  so  generously  re- 
pays for  thought  and  effort  as  will  the 
window.  Don't  say  that  books  are  hard  to 
form  into  attractive  displays.  The  photograph 
which  illustrates  this  article  disproves  the  state- 
ment. And  what  convincing  testimony  the 
picture  offers  of  the  fact  that  a  complete  win- 
dow full  of  books  really  does  pay — as  well,  if 
not  better,  than  a  display  of  other  merchandise  ! 
If  book  displays  can  be  made  to  pay  in  New 
York,  where  window  space  is  worth  anywhere 
from  two  to  ten  dollars  a  square  foot,  rest 
assured  they  will  prove  worth  while  in  a  smaller 
town.  When  a  store  on  one  of  the  costliest 
store  sites  in  the  country  can  see  a  profit  in 
trimming  an  entire  window  with  books  alone, 


342 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


there  are  possibilities  for  a  bookseller  in  a 
smaller  town. 

Of  course,  the  displays  arranged  by  these  big 
stores  are  no  haphazard  affairs — no  mere  piling 
of  a  lot  of  books  into  a  window  and  calling  it 
a  day's  work.  Not  only  is  the  arrangement 
carefully  planned  beforehand  but  the  titles 
themselves  are  carefully  scrutinized  to  see 
whether  they  are  appropriate  both  for  the  sea- 
son of  the  year  and  for  the  class  of  people  to 
whom  the  store  caters.  A  detective  trim  can  be 
featured  during  a  particularly  dull,  rainy  season 
of  the  year,  when  the  average  business  man 
who  passes  this  window  wants  to  do  nothing 
better  than  get  home,  have  a  bite,  and  then  settle 
down  into  a  comfortable  arm  chair  with  a 
rattling  good  detective  story. 

Interviews  with  men  in  charge  of  trimming 
the  "big  windows"  in  New  York  City,  show  that 
all  of  them,  broadly  speaking,  adhere  to  the 
following  "ten  commandments"  in  planning  a 
book  display : 

1.  Lighting:     Have  all  the  lights  in  the  win- 
dow   concealed.    (Electricity    is    no    longer    a 
novelty.    The  time  has  passed  when  people  will 
travel  miles  to  catch  a  glimpse  of  an  electric 
bulb.    What  you  are  most  interested  in  selling 
is   books — not   mazdas.    And   keep    the    bulbs 
clean.    Lighting  experts  figure  that  bulbs  which 
have  not  'been  cleaned  for  two  weeks  give  only 
two-thirds  of  the  illumination  they  should,  due 
to  the  film  of  dust  thru  which  the  light  must 
first  filter.    Also  be  sure  that  your  lights  are 
shaded,  so  that  every  bit  of  the  illumination  is 
'Concentrated    on    the    merchandise,    where    it 
rightfully  belongs. 

2.  Back  up  your  window..    A  person  who  is 
interested  enough  to  stop  in  front  of  your  dis- 
play  should    have   his  eyes  kept  there.    Being 
able  to  see  what  is  going  on  inside  the  store 
causes  the  attention  to  wander  to  the  interior 
instead  of  being  concentrated  on   the  window 
trim.    Don't  dress  your  window  either  above 
or  below  the  eye  level  of  the  average   person 
who  passes  the  store.     If  you  have  a  very  high 
window,  it  is  better  to  use  side  lights,  in  order 
to  secure  even  illumination  on  the  display. 

3.  Have  your  window  reflect  the   season. 
Don't  build  a  massive  window  full  of  ponderous 
books   in  July.    Don't  display  light  and  airy 
novels  in  the  dead  of  winter.    June — and  not 
December — is   the   time   for   books  on  house- 
keeping and  home-making  and  cooking.    Rainy, 
gloomy  March  and  April  is  the  time  for  de- 
tective fiction  and  other  absorbing  stories  that 
make  the  reader  forget  there  is  such  a  thing 
as  bad  weather.    July  and  August  are  natural 
born   salesmen   for  books  on  boating,  bathing 
and  all  outdoor  sports.     See  that  the  text  mat- 
ter of  your  signs  and  window  displays  also  links 
up   to   the   season   of   the  year.     "FOR   THESE 

RAINY,  CHILLY  NIGHTS  WE  HEARTILY  RECOMMEND 


A    COMFORTABLE    ARMCHAIR,    A    WARM    FIRE   AND 

ANY  BOOK  IN  THIS  WINDOW"  carries  more  of  an 
appeal  to  the  passerby  at  certain  seasons  of  the 
year  than  would  a  Lyendecker  original  in  your 
window. 

4.  Avoid  "fancy"  sets.     Don't  get  bitten  by 
the  art  bug  and  think  you  would  like  to  try  the 
effect  of  putting  just  one  book  in  your  show 
window,  contrasted  against  an  orange-colored 
drape.     That  idea  sounds  fine  when  the  Green- 
wich Villager  who  has  just  moved  around  the 
corner  tells  you  about  it.     But  in  actual  prac- 
tice it  doesn't  work  out  quite  so  well.    What 
constitutes  a  good  book,   like  the  question  of 
what  makes  a  good  horse  at  the  race  track,  is 
largely  a  matter  of  opinion.     That's  why  you 
must  have  a  window  full  of  titles  if  you  have 
any  at  all.    A  person  who   stops  in  front  of 
your  window  with  the  idea  in  mind  of  buying 
a  book  wants  to  see  a  large  selection  and  pick 
what  he  thinks  is  the  best  of  the  lot.     Look  at 
the    display    used    as    an    illustration    for    this 
article.     Do   you   think    that   any  person    who 
even  remotely  believed  he  wanted  to  buy  a  book 
could  look  into  that  window  and  not  see  some- 
thing which  appealed  to  him. 

5.  Change  your  windows  often — once  a  week 
is  not  at  all  too  often  to  show  something  new. 
In  a  small  town   especially,   it   does   not  take 
long   for    every  prospective   purchaser   to   see 
your  display.     If  you  do  not  change  your  win- 
dow often  the  time  will  soon  come  when  people 
will  stop   looking  into  it  at  all.     None  of  us 
like  to  look  at  the  same  thing  over  and  over 
again    (a  woman  with  a  mirror   excepted,   of 
course).     Constant  change  means  constant  in- 
terest— which  interest,  in  turn,  means  increased 
sales.     Is  the  extra  time  worth  the  extra  sales? 
It  is  up  to  you  to  make  the  decision. 

6.  Use  displays  and  posters  sent  you.    You 
would   be   very  much   surprised   if    you   knew 
what  these  "silent  salesmen"  cost  the  publishers 
who  send   them.     One  selling  effort  last  year 
cost  the  publisher  nearly  two  dollars  each  for 
the  wlindow  sets — and  over  a  thousand  of  each 
were  ordered.    Many  book-sellers  take  the  at- 
titude that  when  they  use  a  display  sent  them 
by  a  publisher  they   are  virtually  giving  over 
their  window  to  the  selling  of  his  book.    This 
viewpoint  is,  at  best,  short-sighted.     Tlie  more 
books  you  sell  the  more  books  you  have  to  buy 
from  the  publisher — that  fact  is  obvious.    And 
we  also  willingly  admit  that  if  the  book-seller 
didn't  sell  books  the  publishers  might  starve — 
but    then,    so    might    the    'booksellers.     Doh't 
worry  over  the  fact  that  displays  will  help  sell 
a  certain  book  for  a  publisher  or  that  you  are 
giving   him    your    window    for  nothing.     You 
can't  sell  books  for  the  publisher  without  sell- 
ing them   for  yourself — take   that    thought  to 
heart  and  be  comforted. 

7.  Shades    down    while    window    is    being 


February  II,  1922 

trimmed.  Your  clerk  may  be  the  handsomest 
fellow  in  seven  counties,  but  he  rarely  shows 
up  to  advantage  in  the  store  window  at  high 
noon,  with  his  sleeves  rolled  up  and  a  trickle 
of  perspiration  running  down  the  bridge  of  his 
nose.  And  there  is  also  an  element  of  mystery 
that  people  seem  to  like  in  seeing  a  shade  down 
and  then,  later  in  the  day,  having  it  go  up  again, 
disclosing  a  new  display. 

8.  Use  judgment  in  color  schemes.    Don't 
place  books  with  red  jackets  against  a  red  back- 
ground.   If   you   are   arranging    a   trim    with 
books  that  have  highly-colored  wrappers,  keep 
the  background  a  neutral  tint,  so  that  a  contrast 
is   afforded.     Don't  try   for  an  "all-star"  per- 
formance.    Subordinate  everything  to  the  mer- 
chandise you  are  trying  to  sell — BOOKS. 

9.  Get  across  the  atmosphere  of  books.    In 
trimming  a   holiday  window,  endeavor   to  get 
the  idea  of  the  holiday  across  and  then  show 
books    as    forming    part    of    the    festival.    A 
Christmas    window    in    New    York   City    that 
attracted  considerable  attention  showed  a  cozy 
room   with    a   fireplace   in    one   corner   and   a 
Christmas  tree  in  the  other.     Inside  the  fireplace 
could  be  seen  the  boot-clad  legs  of  Santa  com- 
ing down  the  chimney.     A  bagful  of  books  lay 
on  the  floor,    as   tho   Santa   had  first  thrown 
them   down.    A   large    sign   above  the  display 
read  :  GIVE  BOOKS  FOR  CHRISTMAS.     In  the  same 
way  a   vacation   window  might   have  a  gang- 
plank leading  to  a  painted  drop  in  the  rear  of 
the  window  showing  a  boat  at  anchor.     Once 
the  idea  of  vacation  reading  is  hammered  home 
it  is  easy  enough  to  get  books  into  the  scene — 
and  the  connection  is  far  more  natural  than  if 
the  books  were  first  "put  over." 

10.  Never  forget  or  neglect  the  windows. 
The  tenth  commandment  is  merely  a  summary 
of  the  other  nine:  You  pay  at  least  sixty  per 
cent  of  your  rent  for  your  show  window.  It 
is — or,  at  least,  should  be,  your  star  salesman. 
Do  not  let  it  die  from  neglect. 

List  of  Religious  Books 

A  SUGGESTION  in  connection  with  Re- 
ligious Book  Week  has  been  made  that  the 
local  booksellers  could  get  attention  concen- 
trated on  important  literature  in  this  field  by 
asking  the  local  ministers  to  list  for  them  what 
they  considered  the  best  five  recent  religious 
books.  Such  a  list  from  those  most  compe- 
tent to  give  opinions  would  be  interest- 
ing to  all  readers,  and  the  local  newspaper 
would  undoubtedly  be  interested  to  print  such 
a  list.  Each  year  there  are  books  in  this  list 
that  command  real  attention  and  deserve  wide 
lay  reading,  and  retailers  will  find  Religious 
Book  Week  an  opportune  time  for  such  em- 
phasi  •-.

What  is  Increasing  Sales 


I  N  many  directions  we  hear  discussions  and 
1  conjectures  as  to  what  may  be  the  underlying 
causes  for  the  increase  in  book  sales.  One 
recent  writer  ventured  to  suggest  that  it  was 
a  fad  and  that  people  were  buying  books  and 
talking  about  them  who  had  no  real  under- 
standing of  what  they  were  discussing  or  read- 
ing. This  would  seem  to  be,  in  the  opinion  of 
most  of  those  on  the  floors  of  bookstores,  an 
explanation  not  backed  by  the  intimate  knowl- 
edge of  the  new  reading  public. 

Some  echo  of  this  discussion  and  perhaps 
some  answer  to  it  is  conveyed  in  a  recent  news- 
paper heading, 

TRYING    TO    FIND    WHAT'S    FILLING    COLLEGES 

"Presidents  and  other  educators  in  New 
England  colleges  have  been  trying  to  find  out 
wihy  the  American  youth  has  been  pressing  in 
large  numbers  at  the  gates  of  these  institutions 
to  constitute  freshman  classes  which  set  new 
records  in  many]  cases." 

They  give  among  the  factors  responsible  for 
the  increase  "the  war-time  demonstration  of 
the  value  of  higher  education,  the  quickening 
of  interest  in  all  questions  of  international  mo- 
ment, and  the  hard  times  in  business." 

Proposes  Trade  Amalgamation 

A  SUGGESTION  that  the  separate  organiza- 
tions of  publishers  and  retailers  should  be 
brought  into  more  close  relation  is  the  thought 
contained  in  a  letter  which  has  just  been  sent 
out  by  B.  W.  Huebsch  to  his  fellow  members 
in  the  American  Booksellers'  Association.  Mr. 
Huebsch  says : 

"The  retail  book-trade  in  the  United  States 
is  making  up  for  lost  time.  Signs  of  new  life 
are  everywhere  apparent  ,and  the  business  of 
distributing  books  is  becoming  a  factor  in 
American  life. 

"A  closer  understanding  between  producers 
and  distributors  is  essential;  bookselling  and 
publishing  are  like  two  arms  on  one  body.  In 
my  opinion,  the  enterprise  in  which  we  are  en- 
gaged will  find  its  best  development  only  when 
the  booksellers  and  publishers  are  united  in  one 
organisation,  each  group  continuing  to  func- 
tion independently  in  those  matters  that  con- 
cern only  its  particular  branch. 

"The  publishers  are  perfecting  their  organ- 
ization; the  booksellers  are  already  strong,  but 
it  behooves  them  to  get  every  retailer  into  the 
Association.  Hence  this  suggestion  that  you 
co-operate  with  the  membership  committee  of 
the  American  Booksellers'  Association. 

"Whatever  you  do  for  the  Association  you 
do  for  authors  and  publishers  as  well  as  for 
retailers ;  all  concerned  with  books  have  a  com- 
mon interest."

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Where  To  Start  A  Bookshop 


IX  connection  with  their  efforts  to  continue  the 
healthy  progress  that  has  been  made  in  the 
starting  of  new  bookstores,  the  National 
Association  of  Book  Publishers  have  made  a 
canvass  thru  traveling  men  for  suggestions 
as  to  what  cities  would  make  the  best  area  for 
new  enterprises.  Such  a  ballot  gives  valuable 
information  to  work  from  when  inquiries  come 
in  as  to  good  locations.  The  Association  has 
ready  a  new  pamphlet  on  "The  Successful 
Bookshop"  as  well  as  a  previous  one  on  "Start- 
ing a  Book  Department"  and  material  on  book- 
store finance  and  circulating  libraries. 

It  is  impossible,  of  course,  to  print  a  list  with- 
out realizing  that  no  informal  ballot  can  accu- 
rately represent  the  relative  needs  of  various 
cities  and  it  is  possible  that  votes  might  have 
been  cast  in  some  instances  which  were  intended 
to  indicate  that  some  specific  type  of  bookstore 
was  needed  rather  than  a  new  general  bookstore 
which  might  compete  with  one  which  is  already 
recognised  as  doing  good  work.  The  city  of 
Newark  was  many  times  mentioned  in  these 
ballots  as  it  was  last  year  in  a  similiar  ballot 
conducted  by  the  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY,  but 
within  a  month  a  new  bookshop  has  been  started 
there.  In  Brooklyn  as  in  Newark  there  are  two 
large  department  stores,  and  the  ballots  prob- 
ably meant  that  another  type  of  general  book 
business  might  also  be  successful. 

There  is  quite  a  large  emphasis  on  Southern 
cities,  such  as  Jacksonville,  New  Orleans,  Bir- 
mingham. Memphis,  Tulsa  and  Mobile.  The  list 


printed  includes  only  those  cities  that  received 
several  mentions  in  the  vote,  but  the  ballot  con- 
tained a  wide  range  of  other  suggestions.  At 
no  time  in  book-trade  history  have  so  many 
new  bookshops  been  started  as  in  1921,  and 
there  is  every  reason  to  believe  that  the  move- 
rtient  will  continue  and  snread. 

It  has  been  a  marked  peculiarity  of  the  re- 
cent entrants  into  the  field  that  few  of  them 
came  from  the  established  bookstores,  but  in- 
stead have  entered  the  arena  from  professional 
or  college  life.  As  the  ventures  have  proved 
successful,  it  seems  to  indicate  that  bookselling 
is  a  field  in  which  intelligence  can  be  somewhat 
a  substitute  for  experience  when  experience  is 
not  easily  obtainable.

On  Whose  Shelves  are  these  Books  Reposing? 

By  C.   L.  Cannon 

Chief  of  Acquisition  Division  of  the  New  York  Public  Library 


WHY  is  it  so  difficult  to  find  out-of-print 
American  books?  This  question  forces^ 
itself  upon  a  librarian  who  has  tried 
unsuccessfully,  over  a  period  of  two  years,  to 
pick  up  in  the  second-hand  book  trade  such  pop- 
ular American  authors  as  Joel  Chandler  Har- 
ris, Frank  Norris  or  Edward  Eggleston.  Ap- 
parently, also,  an  out-of-print  book  need  not 
have  been  published  ten  or  fifteen  years  ago  to 
be  unavailable ;  a  brief  three  or  four  years 
seems  sufficient.  It  is  accurate  to  go  further, 
and  say  that  once  gone  from  the  publisher's 
shelves,  many  volumes  apparently  vanish.  Of 
course  this  complete  dissappearance  is  apparent 
and  not  real.  Copies,  plenty  of  them,  must  still 
be  in  existence :  they  may  be  found  in  the  stocks 
of  second-hand  dealers  if  one  is  inclined  to 
spend  the  time  to  hunt  them  out.  But  such 
time-consuming  methods  are  impossible  for  the 
librarian,  in  view  of  the  large  number  of  re- 
placements needed,  and  he  must,  of  necessity, 
rely  upon  sceond-hand  dealers  and  book-hunt- 
ers to  supply  his  wants. 


Why,  then,  are  these  wants  not  more  readily 
supplied?  Considerable  inquiry  leads  to  the 
conclusion  that  the  chief  obstacle  is  lack  of  in- 
terest on  the  part  of  the  dealer  himself.  There 
are  a  number  of  widely  known  mediums  in 
which  lists  of  books  'wanted  are  advertised.  All 
dealers  are  familiar  with  the  lists  printed  in 
the  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY.  Yet  advertisements 
there  bring  in  only  a  portion  of  the  titles  listed. 
The  advance  in  the  cost  of  carrying  on  the  sec- 
ond-hand business  seems  to  be  the  fundamental 
difficulty.  It  has  forced  the  second-hand  dealer 
to  economize.  The  cost  of  printing  catalogs, 
rents,  clerical  help,  and  supplies  make  a  higher 
percentage  of  profit  necessary  on  stock  turn- 
over, and,  since  the  prices  of  ordinary  out-of- 
print  books  cannot  be  advanced  as  rapidly  as 
costs  justify,  the  dealer  is  in  a  way  to  lose 
money.  His  defensive  move  in  the  face  of  this 
situation,  according  to  a  number  of  New  York 
dealers,  is  to  concentrate  on  "books  with  a 
profit"  such  as  Americana,  local  history,  rare 
first  editions,  etc.,  and  pay  correspondingly  less

attention  to  miscellaneous  classes.  When  the 
thoroness  of  organization  ol  the  British  sec- 
ond-hand book  trade  is  called  to  his  attention, 
with  comment  on  the  ease  with  which  an  out-of- 
print  book  can  ordinarily  be  secured  in  Great 
Britain,  the  American  dealer  replies  that  the 
cost  of  his  help  prevents  the  minute  classifica- 
tion and  listing  which  constantly  bring  out  titles 
of  old  books  in  England  and  reduces  the  num- 
ber of  "scarce"  volumes.  Some  dealers  will  say 
frankly  that  they  do  not  know  what  books  they 
have  in  stock,  and  that  they  throw  all  want- 
lists  in  the  waste  basket  when  received. 

There  is  a  suspicion  in  the  mind  of  the  li- 
brarian, at  times,  that  some  book  dealers  rely 
too  much  on  the  demand  of  customers  who 
come  to  their  place  of  business,  as  an  indica- 
tion of  what  books  are  popular,  and  not  enough 
on  first  hand  information  of  their  value  as  per- 
manent literature.  This  would  seem  to  account 
for  the  large  stock  and  heavy  advertising  of 
erotica,  business,  and  "inspirational"  books  and 
the  scarcity  (judging  by  the  repsonse)  of  the 
early  volumes  of  almost  any  prominent  contem- 
porary American  author,  Hamlin  Garland,  Up- 
ton Sinclair,  Mary  E.  Wilkins  Freeman,  for 
example.  Jack  London  was  living  three  years 
ago,  and  his  books  are  favorably  known  in  Eu- 
rope, yet  his  "Kempton  Wace  Letters,"  pub- 
lished by  MacmiHan  in  1903,  seems  to  have 
passed  out  of  existence. 

A  similar  absence  of  interest  in  library  busi- 
ness is  indicated  by  an  almost  total  lack  of  re- 
sponse to  requests  for  books  in  certain  classes 
of  literature,  journalism,  for  instance. 

The  book  dealer  may  ibe  justified  by  busi- 
ness conditions,  but  it  is  certainly  awkward  for 
the  librarian  whose  replacement  expenditures 
constitute  no  mean  part  of  his  total  book  budget. 
Are  there  not  enough  libraries  purchasing  mis- 
cellaneous classes  of  books  to  make  handling 
this  material  profitable?  If  public  libraries 
have  to  go  to  the  book  dealer  with  their  list  of 
wants,  instead  of  his  bringing  his  stock  to  them 
in  his  catalogs,  should  not  the  dealer  find  it 
profitable  to  classify  and  arrange  his  stock  and 
to  search  want-lists?  Publishers  will  tell  them 
that  there  is  no  steady  seller  to  compare  with 
a  well-written  book  that  out-lasts  its  genera- 
tion. That  is  why  Stephen  Crane's  stories  are 
being  reprinted,  and  welcome  news  it  is  to  li- 
braries, which  have  tried  vainly  to  get  his 
books  at  second-hand. 


Getting  the  Books  Wanted 

THE  increased  interest  in  book  collecting 
and  the  importance  of  a  systematic  means 
of  communication  between  those  who  want 
books  and  those  who  have  them  give  increas- 
ing importance  to  the  Books  Wanted  columns 
of  the  PUBLISHERS'  WKEKLY.  which  reach  every 
second-hand  and  new  book  dealer  in  the  coun- 
try. It  has  been  the  report  of  many  who  check 
thru  these  columns  in  order  to  quote  books  that 
it  is  much  easier  to  read,  the  lists  of  those  book- 
sellers who  arrange  their  material  in  systematic 


order  and  much  easier  to  turn  back  and   find 
the  entry  after  it  is  once  passed. 

Many  of  the  lists  sent  in  for  this  depart- 
ment are  in  very  confused  shape,  and  the 
straightening  out  for  publication  is  not  easy. 
We  have  selected  and  reprinted  in  facsimile 
samples  of  Books  Wanted  lists  that  come  to 
us  in  what,  from  the  point  of  view  of  the 
printers  and  in  the  opinion  of  the  users  of  the 
list,  is  the  best  possible  form,  alphabetical  by 
author,  followed  by  title  and  publisher  and 
date,  if  known,  especially  the  date  if  a  par- 
ticular edition  is  wanted. 

Best  Sellers 

THE  newly  invigorated  book  page  in  the 
^Cleveland  Plain  Dealer  has  made  a  point  of 
reporting  the  best  sellers  as  given  by  the  book- 
stores of  that  city.  In  a  column  headed  "Best 
Sellers  in  Cleveland,"  it  is  printing  lists  of  six 
fiction  and  six  non-fiction  titles,  from  Burrows 
Brothers,  Halle  Brothers,  Korner  &  Wood, 
Richard  Laukhuff  and  The  May  Company. 
From  the  five  lists  they  then  print  a  consoli-

When  Do  Movies  Sell  Books? 


THS  ORIGINAL  PAINTINGS  FOR  THE  MILTON  BRADLEY  EDITION  OF  "THE 
THREE  MUSKETEERS"  WERE  STRINKINGLY  PLACED  AND  FINELY  'LLUMIN- 
ATED  IN  A  WINDOW  DISPLAY  OF  L.  BAMBERGER  &  COMPANY,  NEWARK, 
WHEN  DOUGLAS  FAIRBANKS  WAS  SHOWING. 


EVER  since  the  moving  picture  took  its 
prominent  place  in  the  public's  regard,  and 
especially  since  the  producers  began,  natu- 
rally to  tu!rn  to  book|si  for  their  titles  and  plots, 
there  has  been  continuing  discussion  in  the  book- 
trade  as  to  the  effect  of  film  diisplay  on  the  sale 
of  the  book.  That  it  has  brought  book  titles 
and  famous  stories  to  the  attention  of  the 
tremendous  new  group  of  potential  readers  is 
unquestionable,  but  what  has  always  been  diffi- 
cult to  estimate  is  just  how  the  bookseller  could 
best  connect  with  this  interest  and  with 
what  type  of  titles  the  connection  was  most 
profitably  made. 

It  has  been  often  suggested  that  booksellers 
should  obtain  concessions  from  the  theaters  and 
have  the  books  on  sale  as  the  performance  was 
over.  One  bookseller,  who  tried  this,  however, 
found  that  the  sales  were  negligible.  Possibly 
it  was  because  the  particular  picture  showing  at 
that  time  left  people  completely  satisfied  with 
their  knowledge  of  the  plot  and  nts 
development ;  possibly,  also,  people  coming 
out  were  hurrying  away  to  get  home  and. 
also,  had  the  common  feeling  that,  having 
spent  what  they  had  planned  for  the  evening's 
diversion,  further  expenditure  was  not  in 
order. 


Booksellers  have  seemed  to  find  that  people 
have  been  as  likely  to  buy  the  .book  next  day  as 
they  were  at  the  very  time  the  show  was  out. 
It  has  also  seemed  as  tho  the  bookseller  who 
runs  a  magazine  stand  and  variety  store  and 
picks  up  the  less  established  type  of  book 
readers,  was  more  likely  to  have  the  movie  fan 
looking  over  his  counters  than  the  more  digni- 
fied and  complete  bookstore. 

There  is  undoubtedly  a  great  difference  as  to 
the  amount  of  demand  that  will  follow  from 
the  filming  of  titles  that  might  at  first  seem  to 
have  equal  chance  to  produce  sales.  The  film- 
ing of  "Treasure  Island"  undoubtedly  produced 
a  wave  of  book  buying  thruout  the  country, 
and  yet  on  many  other  adventure  stories  only  a 
ripple  of  interest  is  aroused.  The  "Connecti- 
cut Yankee  in  King  Arthur's  Court"  brought 
about  a  tremendous  increase  in  sale,  and  these 
instances  could  be  multiplied. 

Perhaps  no  title  has  ever  had  more  effect  on 
sales  than  the  production  by  Douglas  Fairbanks 
of  "The  Three  Musketeers,"  and  every  pub- 
lisher who  had  an  edition  or  who  could  plan  a 
new  edition  has  found  that  the  film  created  a 
great  bookstore  demand  which  has  distributed 
thousands  of  books,  and  the  demand  seems  to 
be  spreading  to  every  section.

College  Text  Books  Again 

By  M.  C.   Godkin 


FREDERICK  DEANE  HARTMAN'S 
timely  discussion  in  the  College  Text 
Book  Situation  deserves  widespread  con- 
sideration from  publishers,  dealers,  and  college 
professors,  as  well  as  others  who  may  be  directly 
interested  in  supplying  or  securing  college 
books. 

That  the  present  situation  could  be  improved 
will  be  generally  conceded ;  that  conditions  are 
as  bad  as  pictured  by  Mr.  Hartman  will  be 
questioned.  There  will  be  considerable  dis- 
sention  from  his  point  of  view  by  American 
publishers,  dealers,  and  college  men,  but  this  is 
natural  inasmuch  as  his  experience  has  been  in 
Canada.  Nevertheless  the  situation  here  de- 
mands analysis  and  remedial  measures  where 
weakness  is  discovered. 

To  comment  in  detail  on  Mr.  Hartman's  state- 
ments is  unnecessary.  In  general  it  will  suffice 
to  say  that  the  ideas  are  suggestive  if  not  alto- 
gether practical  from  the  American  point  of 
view  and  that  Mr.  Hartman  has  recognized  and 
pointed  out  those  local  conditions  which  would 
possibly  interfere  with  their  introduction.  It 
is  extremely  unlikely  that  any  large  educational 
publisher,  and  Mr.  Hartman  agrees,  or  that  pro- 
fessors in  any  considerable  numbers  would  hold 
the  opinions  held  by  his  characters.  It  would 
seem  that  Canadian  firms  have  not  perfected 
their  educational  institutions  to  any  considerable 
extent.  Perhaps  tne  incentive  is  lacking. 

The  present  day  need  is  for: 

(1)  A  uniform  system  for  the  distribution 
of  textbooks  for  examination. 

(2)  A  method  for  consistently  advising  the 
publisher  of  the  texts  adopted  in  each  course 
and    an    approximate    number    required    each 
semester.     This  information  to  be  supplied  some 
time  in  advance  of  the  time  the  texts  will  be 
required. 

(3)  Close  co-operation  between  faculty  and 
dealer,    faculty  and   publisher  and   dealer  and 
publisher. 

The  promotion  work  must  be  left  to  the 
publisher.  It  is  unreasonable  and  futile  to  con- 
sider otherwise.  Reasons  are  manifold.  There 
are  approximately  750  colleges.  Allowing  each 
its  special  dealer  (in  actual  practice  there  is 
more  than  one  dealer  to  a  college)  it  will  be 
seen  that  if  a  dealer  is  to  be  properly  equipped 
to  promote  the  sale  of  the  educational  publica- 
tions each  dealer  will  have  to  enlarge  his  staff 
and  stock  sufficiently  to  handle  the  publications 
of  over  500  publishers.  To  know  the  respective 
merits  of  each  publisher's  texts  and  their  proper 
place  in  the  field  of  education  would  be  a  Her- 
culean and  impossible  task,  involving  an  ex- 


penditure few  dealers  could  assume.  The 
Educational  Departments  of  the  publishing 
houses  are  eminently  better  fitted  to  ascertain 
the  suitability  of  their  publications  to  college 
needs,  and  to  see  that  educators  in  those  subjects 
are  kept  in  touch  with  new  texts,  than  the 
dealer. 

That  the  prices  of  textbooks  are  now  near 
their  highest  level  is  due,  of  course  to  condi- 
tions induced  by  the  War.  But  War  conditions 
are  slowly  being  corrected  and  in  the  near  fu- 
ture the  trend  of  textbook  prices  should  be 
downward.  But  prices  will  continue  to  be  too 
high  until  educators  realize  that,  for  every  book 
received  by  them  gratis  for  examination,  and 
not  ultimately  adopted,  the  cost  is  indirectly 
added  to  the  cost  of  the  book  in  those  schools 
in  which  it  is  adopted.  Assuming  that  a  new 
Latin  text  is  announced  and  that  290  copies  are 
distributed  free  of  charge,  it  means  that  the 
cost  of  those  copies  must  be  added  to  the  cost 
of  copies  sold.  It  is  not  unusual  for  a  teacher 
to  receive  from  ten  to  twenty  copies  of  various 
text-books,  when  the  introduction  of  only  one 
can  'be  made.  In  some  cases  the  books  are 
thrust  upon  him,  and  in  some  cases  he  asks  for 
them.  Multiplying  that  waste  by  about  750 
colleges  and  considering  the  numerous  depart- 
ments in  each  college  and  the  number  of  in- 
structors in  each  department,  the  tremendous 
waste  can  easily  be  calculated  and  it  can  be 
seen  why  books  are  too  high. 

Free  copies  for  the  asking  is  one  of  those  old 
customs,  or  habits,  which  many  professors  still 
adhere  to  and  many  publishers  follow  but 
which  in  time  will  be  discontinued  to  the  bene- 
fit of  the  student  and  professor.  On  the  other 
hand,  for  a  teacher  to  be  required  to  pay  for 
each  text  that  he  desires  to  consider  would  be 
grossly  unfair  and  impossible.  The  solution  lies 
in  sending  copies  for  examination  billed  and 
subject  to  return  or  payment  if  not  introduced. 
If  adopted  the  courtesy  of  a  desk  copy  should 
still  hold  good. 

As  for  dealer  co-operation  let  me  state  a 
specific  instance  in  which  this  important  factor 
was  altogether  lacking.  A  professor  has  signi- 
fied his  intention  of  using  about  700  copies  of 
a  text  in  September.  The  college  book  store 
was  notified  in  June.  The  publishing  house 
having  been  advised  of  the  situation  pressed  the 
bookstore  for  a  confirmation  of  the  order.  The 
order  was  finally  received  during  the  latter  part 
of  August.  Upon  investigation  it  was  found 
that  the  bookstore  had  deliberately  held  the 
order  back  in  expectation  of  lower  prices.  Such 
a  procedure  is  inexcusable.  It  is  unbusinesslike 


348 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


and  places  too  heavy  a  burden  upon  the  pub- 
lisher. In  such  an  instance  a  dealer  would  be 
entitled  to  a  rebate  had  lower  prices  been  put 
in  force  between  the  time  the  order  was  placed 
and  the  date  the  books  were  needed  by  the  col- 
lege. In  the  above  case  the  professor  showed  a 
business-like  and  considerate  manner;  the 
dealer,  the  reverse. 

Except  in  rare  instances  the  professor  knows 
what  texts  he  will  need  long  in  advance  of  the 
opening  of  school.  He  should  be  urged  to  place 
orders  as  promptly  as  possible  in  order  to  give 
the  publisher  ample  time  to  fill  requirements. 
At  the  time  the  local  dealer  is  advised  the 
publisher  should  be  informed  so  that  the  matter 
can  promptly  be  followed  up  should  any  delay 
ensue. 

It  should  be  remembered  by  both  the  dealer 
and  publisher  that  the  average  college  professor 
is  not  a  business  man,  that  he  is  extremely  busy 
with  class  work  and  administrative  work  and 
that  he  should  be  relieved  as  much  as  possible 
of  the  many  distracting  details  which  he  is 
not  equipped  to  handle.  The  dealer,  who  is 
close  at  hand  and  in  close  touch  with  conditions 
should  co-operate  more  closely  with  the  pub- 
lisher, keeping  him  informed  of  requirements 
and  changes  promptly. 

In  closing  it  would  be  well  to  emphasize  that 
the  function  of  the  publisher,  broadly  speak- 
ing, is  to  publish  and  promote  the  sale  of  books ; 
the  professor  should  examine  and  promptly 
acknowledge  receipt  of  books  and  place  orders 
as  early  as  possible ;  the  dealer  as  a  middle  man 
should  co-operate  more  closely  with  the  pub- 
lisher for  their  mutual  benefit. 

Darwin  in  the  Textbooks 

WITH  the  general  stirring  of  public  inter- 
est in  education  and  a  keener  intellectual 
curiosity  among  all  classes,  there  has 
come,  also,  a  sharper  questioning  of  what 
goes  into  our  text-books,  especially  by  those 
who  fear  that  the  youth  may  be  directed  into 
wrong  paths  in  the  state-supported  institutions 
of  learning.  In  Kentucky,  the  whole  state  has 
been  stirred  up  over  a  bill  that  would  prohibit 
the  teaching  of  the  theory  of  the  evolution  of 
man  in  the  university  of  Kentucky  or  any  other 
educational  institution  depending  upon  the  state 
for  funds.  The  fight  has  been  apparently 
fanned  by  having  William  Jennings  Bryan 
brought  into  the  arena  for  a  two  weeks'  cam- 
paign attack  on  evolution.  In  Mr.  Bryan's 
most  widely  circulated  book,  "The  Prince  of 
Peace,"  there  is  a  paragraph  often  quoted 
Which  slharply  attacks  Darwinism.  Educators 
thruout  the  country  have  seen  in  this  an  at- 
tack on  free  discussion,  and  the  charge  arid 
counter -charge  are  being  printed  in  long  col- 
umns in  Kentucky  papers. 


Book  Expositions 

THE  French  "Cercle  de  la  Librairie"   (book- 
trade  association)  held  an  exhibit  of  holi- 
day books  in  December.     No  books  were 
sold  but  those   wishing  to  buy  the  books  ex- 
hibited were  referred  to  their  own  booksellers. 
In  connection  with  this  exhibit  it  is  interesting 
to  read  the  address  made  on  this  subject  by  M. 
P.  Gillon  at  the  Book  Convention  of  1917. 

"However  opinions  may  vary  about  the 
value  of  exhibits,"  says  M.  Gillon,  "they  have 
one  unquestionable  advantage;  they  stir  up 
healthy  competition  among  the  participants  and 
thus  contribute  strongly  to  professional  pro- 
gress. There  can  be  no  exhibit,  however  lim- 
ited, that  does  not  bring  to  tight  some  inno- 
vations that  suggest  new  ideas  to  the  observers 
and  awaken  in  them  the  will  for  renewed  ef- 
fort. 

"But  exhibits  have  still  another  advantage, 
by  attracting  the  attention  of  people  to  the 
carefully  chosen  objects,  and  by  inducing  them 
to  come  and  examine  them  at  their  leisure,  they 
accustom  them  to  show  their  preferences  and 
to  point  out,  after  a  fashion,  to  the  producer  the 
path  that  he  ought  to  follow.  By  its  visits 
and  its  purchases  the  public  encourages  and 
stimulates  the  exhibitors  and  thus  contributes 
toward  the  progress  of  their  industry.  There- 
fore exhibitions  have  been  increasing  during 
late  years.  The  tendency  is  away,  however, 
from  the  universal  exhibits  of  former  years, 
toward  special  shows  limited  to  one  industry 
or  group  of  industries :  as  for  instance,  auto- 
mobile shows,  furniture  exhibits,  etc. 

"The  book  industry  itself  has  been  the  object 
of  many  exhibitions,  but  as  these  included 
everything  having  to  do  with  books  they  called 
for  big  halls  and  costly  fixtures,  which  made 
it  impractical  to  hold  new  ones  as  often  as  were 
needful.  This  inconvenience  can  perhaps  be 
avoided  by  arranging  frequent  special  exhibits 
in  place  of  the  general  ones ;  no  commodity 
lends  itself  better  to  this  scheme  than  the  book 
which  is  all  the  time  undergoing  modifications 
of  various  kinds  on  account  of  the  numerous 
collaborators  who  make  contributions  to  its 
production. 

"Besides,  in  the  book  industry,  only  that  part 
having  to  do  with  machinery  needs  much  room. 
No  palace  is  required  to  show  specimens  of 
paper,  of  printing,  of  design,  of  photographs, 
of  bindings  and  stitchings.  If,  in  addition, 
these  exhibits  include  talks  given  by  specialists, 
the  general  public  will  be  educated  in  its  taste, 
and  initiated,  little  by  little  into  the  various 
characteristics  of  typographic  art,  learning  to 
distinguish  the  merits  of  a  fine  edition,  and 
taking  pleasure  individually  in  enriching  its 
library  with  works  judiciously  chosen."

MRS.  ALICE  DUER  MILLER,  author  of 
"Come  Out  of  the  Kitchen/'  "The  Charm 
School"  ''Beauty  and  the  Bolshevist,''  "Ladies 
Must  Live,''  and  other  popular  books,  and 
Charles  Caldwell  Dobie,  author  of  "The 
Blood-red  Dawn"  are  the  speakers  for  the 
meeting  of  the  Women's  National  Book  Asso- 
ciation, to  be  held  at  the  Children's  Book  Shop, 
Thursday  evening,  February  i6th  at  8  o'clock 
sharp. 

The  Society  of  Bookmen 

WITH  a  broad  program  of  interest  and  an 
inclusiveness  in  membership,  this  season 
has    seen    the    launching    in    London    of 
"The    Society    of    Bookmen,"    which    owes    its 
start  largely  to  Hugh  Walpole  and  to  his  be- 
lief that  all  those  having  a  common  interest  in 
'books  and  book   distribution   should  be  better 
acquainted  and   should  confer  occasionally   on 
the  problems  that  are  connected  with  the  dis- 
tribution of  books. 

The  idea  for  this  Society  seems  to  have  orig- 
inated more  or  less  at  the  meeting  of  the  As- 
sociated Booksellers  last  year  in  York,  where 
Hugh  Walpole  and  Sidney  Pawling  of  Heine- 
mann's  made  speeches  to  the  conference.  Dur- 
ing the  fall,  informal  meetings  of  book  people 
were  held,  and  the  first  general  meeting  was  at 
Ye  Olde  Cocke  Tavern  in  Fleet  Street  on  No- 
vember 23rd,  with  G.  A.  E.  Marshall  in  the 
chair.  At  this  meeting,  neither  Mr.  Walpole, 
nor  Mr.  Pawling,  who  had  taken  so  much  of 
the  initiative,  were  able  to  be  present,  but  or- 
ganization was  completed  along  the  lines  sug- 
gested by  the  Committee. 

The  name,  "The  Society  of  Bookmen"  was 
adopted  after  several  suggestions  had  been 
made.  The  purpose,  as  outlined  in  the  pro- 
gram, was  stated  to  be  "a  society  for  the  ad- 
vancement of  literature  by  the  cooperation  of 
the  various  branches  of  the  book-trade."  It 
was  agreed  that  future  meetings  should  be 
held  at  the  Howard  de  Walden  Club,  16  Wey- 
mouth  Street.  Portland  Place,  and  the  sub- 
scription was  set  at  one  and  a  half  guineas  for 
town  members  and  one  guinea  for  country 
members.  Tihose  present  at  the  opening  meet- 


ing were : 
J.  D.  Beresford 
H.    Clifford 
Sidney  Dark. 
Nigel  de  Grey. 
Frank  Denny. 
John   Drinkwater. 
St.  John  Ervine. 
Kenneth  Kinninmont. 
E.  C.  Kyte. 
M.  A.  Marston. 
W.  B.  Maxwell. 


Leonard   Parsons. 
Cecil  Palmer. 
J.   H.   Quinn. 
F.  Richardson. 
David  Roy. 
D.  J   Rice. 
Frank   Swinnerton. 
Harold  Shaylor. 
Stanley  Unwin. 
J.  G.  Wilsoa 


The  general  purposes  of  the  Society  and 
the  way  the  membership  is  to  be  developed 
is  seen  in  the  thirteen  people  named  at  the  first 
meeting  to  be  invited  to  join  the  Society : 

Artist :  William  Nicholson. 

Authors :  Norman  Davey,  Hamilton  Fyfe  and 
W.  J.  Tusser. 

Booksellers :  Basil  Blackwood  of  Oxford,  J. 
M.  Fisher  of  R.  Grant  &  Sons,  Edinburgh,  and 
H.  B.  Saxton  of  Nottingham. 

Journalists :  James  Heddle  of  the  Hulton 
Press,  James  Bone  of  the  Manchester  Guardian 
and  W.  Stewart  of  the  Glasgow  Herald. 

Librarian :  Stanley  Jast  of  the  Manchester 
Public  Library. 

Publisher :  H.  Jackson  of  MacLehose  Jack- 
son &  Company  of  Glasgow. 

Literary  Agents:  Raymond  Savage  of  Curtis 
Brown  Ltd.  and  John  Clark. 

The  group  is  limited  in  membership  in  order 
to  get  well  under  way,  but  it  is  prophesied 
that  it  will  grow  as  soon  as  the  purpose 
is  fully  appreciated. 

Bookplate  Exhibit 

THE  American  Bookplate  Society  is  now 
holding  its  Seventh  Annual  Exhibition  of 
Contemporary  Bookplates  at  the  National  Arts 
Club,  15  Gramercy  Park,  New  York.  The  ex- 
hibit is  open  to  the  public  each  week  day  from 
ten  to  six  and  Sunday  from  two  to  six,  until 
February  26th.  After  that  time  it  will 
be  at  various  libraries  and  art  museums 
thruout  the  United  States.  The  itinerary  will 
include  Brooklyn,  Philadelphia,  Cleveland, 
Pittsburgh,  Toledo,  Chicago,  Kansas  City,  San 
Francisco,  Seattle,  Spokane  and  Portland. 

The  present  exhibit  is  the  largest  one  of  its 
kind  ever  shown  and  comprises  two  hundred 
and  twenty-one  designs  by  seventy-five  artists; 
Practically  every  civilized  country  is  represent- 
ed. 

The  jury  of  awards  comprised  Charles  B. 
Falls,  president  of  the  'Guild  of  Free-Lance 
Artists ;  Frederick  W.  Goudy,  the  typographical 
expert,  and  president  of  the  American  Institute 
of  Graphic  Arts;  and  William  Edgar  Fisher, 
bookplate  designer  of  note  and  president  of  the 
American  Bookplate  Society. 

The  judges  awarded  Certificates  of  Merit  to 
Frank  G.  House  of  London;  to  Carl  S.  Junge, 
of  Oak  Park;  to  Edmund  H.  Garrett,  of  Bos- 
ton; to  A.  G.  Law  Samson,  of  Edinburgh;  to 
Henry  J.  Haley,  of  London:  and  a  special 
award  to  Oscar  T.  Blackburn,  of  Minneapolis. 

"A  family  without  a  library,  a  mind  without 
culture  thru  the  printed  page,  must  limp  thru 
life  handicapped  for  everything  but  the  most 
menial  occupations." 

—Fleming  H.  Revell,  New  York  City,  in 
New  Era  Magazine.

A  notable  English,  bookseller,  whose  store  is 
in  one  of  the  most  fashionable  seaside  places  of 
England,  bemoaned  the  fact  the  other  day  that, 
while  bookselling  had'  not  gone  to  the  dogs,  he 
deeply  regretted  that  people  were  not  buying 
books  as  they  used  to  do  in  the  "old  days." 
He  instanced  the  fact  by  pointing  out  that,  in 
the  case  of  one  particularly  good  client,  he 
had  noticed  that  at  Christmas,  for  the  pre- 
vious years,  his  order  had  averaged  something 
like  fifty  dollars  in  value,  but  for  this  last  holi- 
day season  his  account  totaled  only  five  dolr 
lars !  And  this  is  not  an  isolated  instance.  It 
does  not  mean  that  people  don't  want  to  buy 
books.  It  means,  here,  that  they  can't  buy 
books,  because  the  demands  in  the  way  of  taxes, 
school  fees,  living,  etc.,  are  almost  ruinous. 
These  regular  clients  leave  the  bookshops  with 
great  regret,  and  are  looking  forward  to  the 
time  when  they  may  browse  happily  over  the 
bookshelves  and  contentedly  buy  as  their  taste 
and  spirit  move  >tihem,  but  until  that  time  comes, 
their  bookless  winter  of  sorrow  must  remain. 
This  mental  condition  has  one  very  real  ob- 
vious danger,  the  habit  may  pass,  and  other  and 
more  sensational  expenditures  may  get  a  very 
big  look-in,  as  the  saying  goes* 

Spring  plans  are  growing  apace,  and  there 
is  promise  of  much  activity.  Already  prelimi- 
nary lists  are  printed,  and  salesmen  are  on  the 
road  with  their  bags.  .  The  prospects  are  hope- 
ful. Confidence  is  slowly  coming  back,  and 
when  the  public  get  into  that  condition  of  mind, 


bookselling  always  benefits;  not  that  last  year 
was  bad — it  was  really  good,  taking  all  the  bad 
currents  into  consideration.  Obviously,  we  are 
a  long  way  yet  from  the  normal.  There  are 
lots  of  good  things  coming,  in  the  way  of  non- 
fiction,  especially.  Unfortunately,  a  general 
election  is  threatened,  and  that  means  propa- 
ganda with  an  infernally  large  P,  plenty  of  lit- 
erature of  the  free  kind,  and  everybody  will  be 
full  of  speech  and  argument.  Papers  will  in- 
crease their  sales,  and  books  will  suffer.  Alas, 
that  it  should  be  so.  As  soon  as  the  date  is 
fixed — and  L.  G.  is  determined  upon  it — then 
the  important  books  will  be  held  over  until  the 
passionate  time  has  passed,  and  it  will  be  a  ter- 
rific election  this  time. 


Our  Anglophile  Publishers 

A  LETTER  in  a  fall  number  of  the  Literary 
Review  comments  sharply  on  the  attitude 
of  American  publishers  showing  especial  fav- 
oritism towards  English  critics  as  follows : 

"But  if  we  are  to  have  a  national  literature, 
will  some  one  kindly  tell  me  in  what  way  the 
attitude  of  our  university  and  college  instruc- 
tion contributes  to  it?  The  whole  scholastic 
caste  in  America  seems  hell  bent  on  extermin- 
ating American  individuality.  And  again,  if, 
as  is  undeniable  to  any  careful  observer,  the 
mixture  of  races  here  is  surely  producing  a 
spoken  language  of  our  own  and  distinct  from 
any  other,  will  some  one  kindly  tell  me  why 
our  book  publishers  insist  upon  loading  down 
their  pages  with  alien  spelling?  Why  must 
they  spell  color  as  if  it  were  pronounced 
'coloor,'  and  why  do  they  thrust  that  foolish 
and  superfluous  'u'  into  every  word  where  it 
is  not  needed?  This  is  the  British  orthography, 
not  the  American.  I  have  had  more  than  one 
fight  with  publishers  over  this  in  the  case 
of  my  own  books.  When  I  have  asked  why 
they  wished  to  disfigure  their  pages  with  a 
foreign  language,  the  reply  was  always  the 
same: 

"  'Because  English  critics  will  not  give  a 
favorable  review  to  a  book  with  American 
spelling.' 

"I  guess  that  tells  the  story. 

"Suppose  these  timid  souls  to  be  right  and 
English  critics  to  be  of  this  pristine  state  of 
intellectual  development,  what  of  it  ?  Why  are 
favorable  reviews  by  English  critics  more 
vital  to  us  than  favorable  reviews  by  Dutch, 
Swiss,  or  Scandinavian  critics?  If  this  really 
represents  the  slavish  attitude  of  the  American 
publisher,  I  should  fancy  the  excellent  plea 
you  make  for  national  individuality  and  ex- 
pression might  bump  into  some  practical  ob- 
stacles. Yet  I  can't  imagine  that  Messrs.  An- 
derson, Mencken,  or  Lewis  or  Miss  Canfield 
are  the  poorer  in  flesh,  spirit,  or  purse  because 
some  solemn  guy  in  Fleet  Street  that  knows 
not  their  aims,  subjects,  nor  language  does 
not  like  their  work.  If  they  are  wise,  they 
thank  God  and  go  on."

At  the  Birth  of  a  History 


IX  the  very  widespread  discussion,  which  has 
recently  been  taking  place  in  our  literary 

papers,  as  to  the  functions  of  a  critic,  there 
has  been  frequent  emphasis  on  the  constructive 
value  of  criticism,  many  writers  insisting  that 
literature  could  hardly  be  expected  to  flourish 
without  a  body  of  intelligent  criticism  to  check 
and  lead.  That  critics  may  be  party  to  the  very 
first  creative  impulses  which  develop  into  liter- 
ary successes,  as  well  as  being  among  those 
present  and  alert  when  the  product  is  complete, 
is  the  indication  from  the  only  recently  told 
story  of  the  beginning  of  the  idea  of  "The  Out- 
line of  History." 

In  the  winter  after  the  war,  a  group  of  men 
met  at  dinner  at  the  Reform  Cluib  in  London. 
Among  them  were  Professor  Henry  Seidel 
Canby,  Editor  of  the  Literary  Review  of  the 
New  York  Evening  Post,  and  Professor  John 
W.  Cunliffe  of  Columbia.  The  talk  naturally 
turned  toward  the  Anglo-American  relations 
and  of  the  importance  of  increasing  mutual 
understanding.  Professor  Canby  turned  to 
H.  G.  Wells  and  said,  "Why  do  you  not 
write  for  us,  Mr.  Wells,  an  Anglo-Saxon 
history,  covering  all  of  the  English-speaking 
countries  and  commonwealths  as  one  historical 
theme,  the  subject  is  one  of  very  present  in- 
terest and  you  of  all  people  are  the  one  that 
could  make  it  vital  and  important?" 


"I  might  do  that,"  said  Mr.  Wells,  "but  one 
difficulty  is  that  from  these  English-speaking 
countries  I  must  go  back  into  the  countries 
from  which  this  race  sprang,  back  into  Eur- 
ope." 

"Well,  if  that  is  necessary,  then  why  not  go 
back  into  Europe  and  start  from  the  racial 
sources." 

"But,"  said  Wells,  "if  I  go  back  that  step,  I 
must  go  still  further  back  to  the  very  beginning 
of  man  or  to  the  beginning  of  life  on  this 
planet." 

"Very  well,  then,  carry  the  thread  -back  to 
the  very  beginning,  the  idea  becomes  more  and 
more  interesting." 

"If  you  do  that,"  said  Professor  Cunliffe. 
breaking  in,  "you  will  have  a  history  that  every 
high  school  in  the  United  States  will  use  as  a 
textbook." 

"How  many  high  school  students  have  you  ?" 
asked  Wells. 

"Perhaps  100,000." 

"That  is  a  good  audience  to  begin  on,"  said 
Mr.  Wells. 

Three  years  later,  when  Professor  Canby  saw 
Mr.  Wells  in  this  country,  the  author's  greet- 
ing was,  "Well,  Mr.  Canby,  you  were  one  of 
those  that  were  in  at  the  birth  of  'The  Outline 
of  History.'  "

Publishers'  Advertising 


IN  the  Printers'  Ink  of  recent  date,  the  Chi- 
cago Tribune  carried  a   full  page  advertise- 
ment   under    the    heading    "Can    Books    Be 
Sold  ?"    The  text  is  interesting  and  runs  as  fol- 
lows: 

CAN  BOOKS   BE  SOLD? 

The  average  publisher  issues  scores  of  books  each 
year,  scatters  half-hearted  support  among  them,  and 
hopes  that  one  or  more  may  catch  the  public  fancy 
and  be  bought  in  quantities.  He  does  not  sell  his 
ware_§_as  other  manufacturers  do.  He  gambles  on 
issuing  something  that  the  public  will  take  away 
from  him. 

Each  year  he  repeats  this  process,  abandoning  books 
which  showed  promise  in  order  to  bring  out  new 
failures. 

After  investigation,  the  Business  Survey  of  the 
Chicago  Tribune  has  come  to  the  conclusion  that  books 
can  be  sold  and  that  advertising  can  be  an  invaluable 
aid  in  selling  them.  Book  publishers  have  run  an- 
nouncements in  the  Tribune,  but  (except  in  the  case 
of  subscription  books)  have  never  advertised  their 
wares  in  this  market.  But  it  can  be  done — profitably. 

\^e  invite  discussion  with  any  publisher  who  wishes 
to  substitute  modern  merchandising  methods  for  the 
lottery  element  in  his  business. 

THE  CHICAGO  TRIBUNE 
The   World's  Greatest  Newspaper 

Whether  there  will  be  many  publishers  who 
come  forward  to  accept  the  invitation  is  an- 
other matter,  but  it  can  be  prophesied  that  if 
they  do  not  it  will  not  be  from  any  aversion  to 
discussing  new  ideas.  Publishers  in  their  ad- 
vertising are  evolutionists  rather  than  revolu- 
tionists. Never  a  month  goes  by  but  an  ad- 
vertising man  fresh  from  successes  in  the  tal- 
cum or  cigarette  fields  looks  over  the  book 
world  and  makes  a  quick  estimate  of  its  short- 
comings. Many  obtain  their  opportunity  to  try 
new  ideas  and  some  perhaps  have  found  that 
all  that  they  prophesied  of  what  could  be  done 
with  the  public  could  not  be  quickly  accom- 
plished. 

The  publishers  would  perhaps  have  more  con- 
fidence in  one  who  prophesied  less  and  ap- 
proached this  really  difficult  task  of  book  distri- 
bution with  a  little  more  modesty.  Few  people 
outside  of  the  book-trade  realize  that  the  ad- 
vertising appropriations  on  books  are  a  much 
larger  percentage  per  dollar  of  sale  than  that 
of  almost  any  other  nationally  advertised  com- 
modity. Expenditures  of  from  ten  to  fifteen 
per-cent  of  the  net  wholesale  receipts  on  a  book 
are  common.  On  many  other  commodities  we 
hear  of  five  per-cent  appropriations,  and  three 
per-cent  is  more  common.  Publishers  looking 
at  their  year's  business  may  find  that  they  have 
had  an  advertising  appropriation  of  five,  six  or 
seven  per-cent  of  their  whole  business,  but  an 
analysis  of  this  shows  that  this  advertising  has 
been  chiefly  connected  with  new  books,  which 
means  that  these  titles  have  carried  almost 
double  that  rate.  With  this  heavy  percentage 


is  it  possible  for  a  metropolitan  paper  of  high- 
price  lineage  to  make  revolutionary  increase  in 
the  amount  of  returns? 

The  Chicago  Tribune  believes  that,  instead  of 
issuing  books  continuously,  selling  campaigns 
should  be  concentrated  on  a  few  titles.  But  it 
may  be  that  by  this  literature  would  suffer  and 
only  the  books  of  greatest  popular  appeal  could 
be  advertised  at  all.  This  would  be  more  like 
the  condition  in  the  movies  where  only  the  film 
which  can  attract  an  audience  at  any  cross  street 
is  considered  by  the  producers.  The  publish- 
ers are  perhaps  not  ready  yet  to  make  that  their 
rule.  The  Tribune  also  suggests  that  current 
advertisements  with  too  heavy  percentage  of 
cost  are  merely  announcements,  and  the  argu- 
ment would  be  that  three  or  four  hundred  line 
space  at  a  dollar  a  line  would  be  a  little  more 
to  the  point.  If  any  paper  would  be  bold 
enough  to  try  that  under  guaranteed  results  it 
might  learn  some  of  the  things  that  book  pub- 
lishers long  ago  learned.  Book  distribution  is 
steadily  improving,  and  many  new  types  of  pro- 
motion are  constantly  being  tried.  Every  new 
suggestion  should  get  a  hearing,  but  those  who 
suddenly  survey  the  field  from  the  outside  ought 
to  take  a  little  time  to  walk  round  and  read  the 
inscriptions  on  some  of  the  gravestones  of  de- 
parted hopes. 

One  final  comment  suggests  itself,  and  that  is 
whether  the  Tribune,  which  is  presumably  try- 
ing to  sell  space  to  the  publishers,  is  itself 
an  efficient  advertiser  trying  to  merchandise 
expensive  space  to  a  small  group  of  established 
firms.  If  one  has  a  constructive  idea  to 
present  is  it  the  'best  salesmanship  to 
pin  the  possibilities  of  selling  it  on 
truculently  worded  and  only  partly  thought 
thru  copy?  When  it  comes  to  criticis- 
ing advertising  campaigns,  we  venture  to 
mark  down  this  page  ad.  of  the  Chicago  Tribune 
as  almost  wasted  space,  not  because  it  does  not 
contain  some  truth  or  because  the  publishers 
are  not  keenly  interested  in  new  opportunities, 
but  because  it  states  old  arguments  in  so  un- 
convincing a  form. 

War  Fiction  Booklist 

A  REFERENCE  book  of  current  importance 
to  booksellers  and  libraries  is  the  list  en- 
titled "European  War  Fiction  in  English  and 
Personal  Narratives"  compiled  by  Loleta  I. 
Dawson  and  Marion  Davis  Huntting,  and.  pub- 
lished by  F.  W.  Faxon  &  Company.  It  is  a  list 
of  320  titles  of  fiction  with  author  index  and 
supplementary  list  of  personal  narratives.  The 
notes  give  information  needed  as  to  the  placing 
of  the  story  and  narratives.

The  1922  Toy  Fair 


THE  1922  Toy  Fair  opened  most  auspicious- 
ly at  the  Hotels  Imperial  and  Breslin,  New 
York,  on  February  6th.  It  is  a  color- 
ful exhibition,  and  includes  every  kind  of  toy 
for  children,  together  with  books  for  little 
people. 

While  there  are  not  as  many  firms  from  the 
book  world  represented  as  last  year,  still  those 
who  are  present  have  most  attractive  displays, 
bringing  to  the  front  many  new  ideas  for  the 
coming  season. 

Hurst  and  Company  are  showing  books  for 
boys  and  girls  for  all  ages  attractively  jacketed 
in  snappy  style.  Instead  of  the  dull  black  and 
white  effects  which  have  been  so  long  in  vogue 
on  children's  books  in  this  line,  they  are  now 
dressed  in  colorful  and  picturesque  wrap- 
pers, which  should  make  good  window  and 
counter  displays.  L.  M.  Levy  is  in  attendance 
in  the  Hotel  Imperial,  Room  244. 

The  Nourse  Company,  114  East  23rd  Street, 
New  York,  is  showing  a  very  wide  selection 
of  Occupational  and  Something-to-do  Books,  to- 
gether with  a  most  artistic  line  of  Magic  Paint 
books.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that  these 
books  carry  a  real  idea  for  the  improvement  of 
children's  minds,  and  there  are  many  items  in 
paper- folding,  painting,  and  cut-outs  which  have 
reflected  the  work  and  plans  of  kindergarteners. 
There  is  an  absence  of  books  for  careless 
daubing,  every  one  of  them  presents  something 
which  will  make  the  child  appreciate  form  and 
color.  There  are  articles  which  will  be  of  in- 
terest to  the  boy  as  well  as  to  the  girl.  One 
of  the  outstanding  titles  on  this  list  for  older 
girls  is  "Natalie,  a  Garden  Scout"  by  Lillian 
Elizabeth  Roy.  This  book  is  one  of  a  series 
which  has  been  endorsed  by  the  Girl  Scouts  of 
America.  L.  *G.  Nourse  is  in  charge,  at  Room 
244,  Hotel  Imperial. 

The  E.  M.  Leavens  Company,  Inc.,  of  Roch- 
ester, N.  Y.,  has  a  large  display  of  toy  books 
and  cut-outs.  Among  the  items  are  new 
titles  in  the  Wearever  Toy  Books.  These  are 
the  Story  of  Peter  Pan,  with  verses  by  M.  O. 
Munson.  and  The  Tale  of  Peter  Rabbit  by  Bea- 
trix Potter.  This  series  is  made  of  very  heavy, 
untearable  paper,  with  brightly  colored  illus- 
trations and  sells  for  25  cents  each.  There  are 
also  paper  dolls,  with  bright  and  stylish  ward- 
robes. This  company  is  showing  the  Col- 
lins Clear  Type  Bibles  and  Testaments  to- 
gether with  The  Bijou  Shakespeare,  6  volumes 
bound  in  leather  and  boxed  in  a  leather  case. 
They  are  all  well  bound  volumes  and  theE.  M. 
Leavens  Company  are  the  sole  agents  for  this 
line  in  America.  Miss  H.  J.  Pfanstiehl  is  in 
charge  in  Room  250,  Hotel  Imperial. 

The  Platt  and  Munk  Co.  of  118  East  25th 
Street,  New  York,  has  one  of  the  largest  and 


brightest  collections  of  play  books  for  children. 
These  include  painting,  stencil,  and  cut-outs, 
the  latter  being  particularly  attractive  inasmuch 
as  they  are  of  a  highly  educational  type, 
flowers  and  birds  in  their  true  colors.  These 
are  made  in  America  and  have  to  do  with  Amer- 
ican natural  history  so  that  the  child  may  know 
at  once  thru  play  the  names  of  the  birds  and 
flowers.  There  is  also  to  be  found  here  a 
"Bundle  of  Children's  Stories,"  a  set  of  ten 
little  books  in  a  box  which  sells  for  50  cents. 
Arnold  Munk  is  in  charge  in  Room  245,  Hotel 
Imperial. 

In  Room  233  Hotel  Imperial,  Ben  Spero  is 
in  charge  of  the  display  of  The  Saalfield  Pub- 
lishing Company  of  Akron,  Ohio.  Among  the 
novelties  shown  is  a  Peter  Rabbit  Balloon  Set. 
This  is  the  story  of  Peter  told  on  six  balloons 
inclosed  with  the  book.  The  Animal  Fun  Book 
is  another  novelty,  made  like  a  slate  with  black 
pages,  to  be  written  on  with  white  crayon, 
which  is  supplied.  There  is  also  a  new  set  by 
David  Cory,  "Little  Indian  Series"  which  is 
complete  in  three  volumes,  and  sells  for  $1.50. 

The  Whitman  Publishing  Company,  of  Ra- 
cine, Wisconsin,  is  to  be  found  in  Room  317, 
Hotel  Imperial  with  S.  E.  Lowe  in  charge.  It 
is  showing  reprints  of  popular  juveniles,  car- 
toons by  Briggs  and  stationery  for  little  chil- 
dren with  their  favorite  characters  from  story- 
books printed  in  color  at  the  top  of  each  sheet. 

Charles  Conrath  is  looking  after  the  display 
of  books  for  the  littlest  children  which  are 
published  by  Sam'l  Gabriel  Sons  and  Com- 
pany. These  books,  mostly  paper  and  linen, 
are  in  Room  315,  Hotel  Imperial. 

The  Satler  Manufacturing  Company  of  Bal- 
timore, in  Room  209,  Hotel  Imperial,  is  show- 
ing a  full  line  of  educational  games,  combined 
with  books  for  small  children.  L.  Goldie  is 
in  charge. 

At  the  Hotel  Breslin  in  Rooms  610-612  is  the 
exhibit  of  M.  A.  Donohue  and  Company,  of  Chi- 
cago, with  William  Hamersley  in  charge. 

Charles  E.  Graham  and  Company,  of  New- 
ark, N.  J.,  is  exhibiting  at  the  Hotel  Breslin, 
Rooms  710-712,  with  C.  E.  Graham  in  charge. 

All  thru  the  exhibition  one  encounters  a 
spirit  of  optimism  for  the  coming  year,  and 
that  added  to  the  fact  that  nearly  every  pub- 
lisher represented  is  quoting  prices  from  twen- 
ty-five to  thirty-three  and  a  third  percent  less 
than  those  listed  since  the  beginning  of  the  war, 
seems  to  point  to  a  rosy  "book  year  for  1922. 
That  there  were  no  books  of  German  manufac- 
ture shown,  is  another  interesting  point,  and 
as  a  whole  the  books  for  the  littlest  ones  are 
made  along  educational  lines,  especially  where 
occupational  items  are  concerned. 

The  Fair  will  close  on  March  iibh.

The  Traveling  Salesman 

AN  APPRECIATION 

«VV7HEN  I  was  a  boy  the  traveling  man 
**  seemed  a  personage  no  less  important 
than  a  visiting  prince,"  says  the  Saturday  Even- 
ing Post.  "When  he  came  to  our  town  with 
his  trunks  and  cases,  the  loafers  about  the 
depot  followed  him  to  the  general  -store  to  share 
in  his  distribution  of  cigars  and  listen  to  his 
large  talk  oi  distant  places.  I  cannot  remem- 
ber whether  his  city  clothes  or  suave  superior- 
ity inspired  the  greater  awe.  He  had  a  great 
fund  of  new  stories  and  joined  heartily  in  the 
laughter  they  provoked.  Arguments  that  had 
been  left  hanging  in  the  air  against  the  day  of 
his  arrival  were  settled  for  all  time  by  his 
decision,  and  his  opinions  concerning  political 
matters  were  accepted  as  the  words  of  an  or- 
acle. When  he  had  finished  his  business  a 
guard  of  honor  accompanied  him  to  the  train 
and  he  always  waited  'for  the  last  coach  and 
swung  on  as  a  young  brakeman  does. 

"Salesmanship  is  no  longer  the  happy-go- 
lucky  matter  it  was.  The  modern  salesman  is 
an  expert,  a  .student,  a  psychologist.  His  mis- 
sion is  to  sell  goods,  but  he  accomplishes  his 
purpose  by  rendering  service.  He  is  a  coun- 


selor  and  friend.  A  postcard  will  bring  him 
from  a  distant  city  and,  once  arrived,  he  will 
study  a  shop  or  store,  take  it  apart  to  find  the 
rusty  cogs,  readjust  it  to  fit  a  modern  plan, 
and  be  gone  with  an  order  for  the  machines  or 
devices  or  goods  his  house  has  for  sale.  He 
is  the  handmaiden  oif  efficiency,  an  apostle  of 
pep,  .bringing  light  into  dark  places  and  spread- 
ing the  gospel  of  progress. 

"Now  the  salesman  keeps  fit.  He  needs  a 
level  head.  He  is  a  responsible  citizen,  and 
his  place  on  the  payroll  depends  upon  sound 
judgment  and  an  unblemished  character.  He 
is,  oftentimes,  Dhe  ambassador  of  a  great  insti- 
tution, dignified  by  the  reputation  of  a  firm 
that  counts  honor  its  chief  asset. 

"Traveling  men  are  good  citizens.  Few  men 
in  other  occupations  are  so  well  qualified  for 
self-government.  The  traveling  man  knows 
his  country.  He  understands  its  needs,  its  vir-- 
tues,  its  faults.  He  meets  many  men  with 
many  ideas,  reads  much,  debates  much,  and 
from  the  random  grist  that  comes  to  his  mill 
makes  for  himself  a  standard  of  citizenship 
and  a  conception  of  good  government  that  are 
without  bias  or  prejudice  or  the  narrowness 
that  is  the  penalty  of  restricted  horizons. 

"A  government  by  traveling  men  would  be  a 
sensible  government,  without  waste,  delay,  sub- 


355 


terfuge,  or  petty  bickerings.  America  loses 
much  because  so  many  of  her  best  citizens  are 
so  frequently  disfranchised  by  their  occupa- 
tion."

SELLING  ON   COMMISSION 


Publishers'   Output  in  1921 

Continued     from     the      "Annual     Summary 
Number." 

OWING  to  an  error  in  the  make-up  of  our 
Annual  Summary  Number,  January  28th, 
one-third  of  the  list  of  publishers  failed 
to  appear  on  page   193,  which  gave  the  total 
number  of  books  that  each  house  had  issued  in 
1921.    The  following  should  be  considered  as 
a    supplement.     The    publisher's    totals    include 
every  title  which  is  sent  to  the  office,  can  be 
traced  thru  announcement  lists  or  is  printed  on 
the  Library  of  Congress  cards : 


Colhen  was  a  local  salesman  for  a  New  York 
woolen  concern.  The  depression  in  business 
being  serious,  he  was  willing  to  go  a  little  out 
of  the  way  for  an  order.  One  day,  in  a  spirit 
that  reflected  recklessness  as  well  as  hope,  he 
invited  a  prospective  buyer  out  to  dine. 

The  guest  picked  up  the  menu,  studied  it,  and  I02I  ENTRIES

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Quebec  Interested  in  Authorship         Canadian  Sales  Tax  Changes 


TO  devote  a  session  to  the  consideration  of 
how  best  to  encourage  the  development  of 
a  native  literature  was  the  somewhat  unique 
experience  of  the  members  of  the  Quebec  Leg- 
islature last  week  and  the  question  arises, 
whether  it  can  be  paralleled  in  the  legislative 
halls  of  any  other  province  or  state  on  the  con- 
tinent. 

The  government  :thru  the  Provincial  Secre- 
tary, Hon.  Athanase  David,  introduced  and 
passed  a  bill  providing  for  the  establishment 
for  at  least  three  years  of  annual  literary  and 
scientific  competition.  To  furnish  prizes,  a  sum 
of  $5,000  is  to  be  appropriated  annually  out  of 
the  consolidated  revenue  fund  of  the  province. 
Prizes  will  be  available  for  both  English  and 
French  literary  works  dealing  with  scientific  or 
other  subjects,  the  first  prize  to  be  $2,500;  the 
second,  $1,500,  and  the  third,  $500;  the  remain- 
ing $500  to  the  grant  to  be  used  for  traveling 
and  other  expenses  of  the  judges.  The  latter 
are  to  be  nine  in  number,  including  the  professors 
of  literature  in  the  universities  of  Laval,  Mon- 
treal and  McGill  and  a  representative  of  the 
Royal  Society  of  Canada,  French  section. 

The  preamble  of  the  bill  points  out  that  it 
is  desirable  to  facilitate  the  publication  of  the 
works  of  authors  in  the  province  and  to  draw 
public  attention  to  the  literary  and  scientific 
talents  which  remain  unknown  owing  to  un- 
favorable circumstances.  The  belief  is  ex- 
pressed that  the  founding  of  competitions  would 
further  the  efforts  of  authors,  would  aid  men 
of  talent  in  making  themselves  known  and 
would  stimulate  by  emulation  the  taste  for  lit- 
erary and  scientific  work  and  the  desire  to  pro- 
mote them  in  Quebec. 

At  least  half  a  dozen  members  of  the  Legis- 
lature took  part  in  the  debate  on  the  measure, 
contributing  speeches,  which  were  not  only  ap- 
preciative of  the  idea  but  were  in  themselves 
evidences  of  the  existence  of  literary  culture 
and  a  knowledge  of  literature  among  the  legis- 
lators. Hon.  Mr.  David,  the  father  of  the  bill, 
reviewed  the  birth  and  growth  of  literary  effort 
in  Quebec  and  declared  that  such  a  measure 
as  he  proposed  was  a  recognition  of  the  fact 
that  on  the  banks  of  the  St.  Lawrence  a  new 
civilization  Had  been  born,  which  was  continu- 
ing the  traditions  and  the  work  of  those  which 
had  produced  such  men  as  Corneille  and  Ra- 
cine on  the  one  hand  and  of  Shakespeare  and 
Byron  on  the  other.  He  believed  the  race  was 
destined  to  be  in  the  country  for  all  time  and 
wished  to  build  for  the  future.  With  this  end 
in  view,  the  encouragement  of  literary  effort 
was  necessary. 

Other  speakers  emphasized  the  need  of  cul- 
tivating the  intellectual  life  of  the  people, 
when  so  much  effort  wag  being  directed  to  the 
development  of  the  materialistic  side. 


IT  is  probable  that  some  changes  of  interest 
to  the  book-trade  will  be  proposed  at  the  next 
session  of  Parliament  in  connection  with  the 
sales  tax.  At  present  a  manufacturer  selling 
to  a  wholesaler  charges  a  sales  tax  of  il/2  per 
cent. ;  a  wholesaler  selling;  to  a  retailer  or  con- 
sumer il/2  per  cent.;  a  manufacturer  selling  to 
a  retailer  or  consumer,  3  per  cent.  On  impor- 
tations, a  manufacturer  or  wholesaler  pays  2l/2 
per  cent. ;  a  retailer  or  consumer,  4  per  cent. 

One  change  proposed  is  that  sales  by  manu- 
facturers to  wholesalers  for  resale  and  sales  by 
wholesalers  to  other  wholesalers  for  resale  shall 
be  exempt  and  in  place  thereof  that  the  tax 
on  sales  by  wholesalers  to  retailers  or  consum- 
ers be  raised  to  3  per  cent.  It  is  believed  that 
this  change  would  simplify  the  collection  of  the 
tax  and  would  also  remove  certain  other  dif- 
ficulties wihiah  have  arisen. 

Another  change  suggested  has  to  do  with  the 
tax  on  importations.  When  a  retailer  or  con- 
sumer imports,  the  tax  is  4  per  cent..  When 
a  manufacturer  or  wholesaler  imports,  the  tax 
is  2l/2  per  cent.,  but  the  latter,  when  re-selling 
to  the  retailer,  must  charge  3  per  cent.,  thus 
making  a  total  of  5/4  per  cent.  It  will  prob- 
ably be  proposed  that  the  two  rates  shall  be 
more  nearly  equalized. 

Canadian    Bookman    Re-organize 

THE  Canadian  Bookman,  which  has  been  in  a 
sense  the  organ  of  the  Canadian  Authors' 
Association,  has  been  taken  over  by  a  new  com- 
pany known  as  the  Bookcraft  Publishing  Co. 
Professor  Bernard  K.  Sandwell  of  McGill  Uni- 
versity, who  has  been  editor  since  the  maga- 
zine was  established,  is  president  of  the  new 
company  and  continues  as  editor.  Findlay  I. 
Weaver,  editor  and  proprietor  of  the  Canadian 
Book-Trade  Journal,  becomes  vice-president 
and  managing  director.  The  Book-Trade  Jour- 
nal will  be  merged  with  the  Bookman  as  a 
trade  section;  circulating  exclusively  among 
publishers  and  booksellers.  Harold  W.  Thomp- 
son is  secretary-treasurer.  The  Canadian  Book- 
man, which  was  originally  a  quarterly,  will 
now  be  issued  monthly. 

THE  GEORGE  H.  DORAN  Co.  is  now  repre- 
sentative of  the  United  Council  for  Missionary 
Education  of  Great  Britain,  and  for  the  Publi- 
cation Department  of  The  London  Missionary 
Society.  This  is  the  society  which  sent  David 
Livingstone  to  Africa.  As  publisher  of  the 
Students  Christian  Movement,  Doran  will  pub- 
lish immediately,  "The  Pilgrim."  by  Professor 
T.  R.  Glover,  and  these  three  additional  titles, 
"Psychology  and  the  Christian  Life,"  by  Pym; 
"The  Universality  of  Christ,"  by  Temple; 
"The  Divine  Initiative,"  by  Mackintosh.

Great  stuff,  that  '*Culled  from  an  Auction

half  the  dealers  in  the  old  U.  S.  A.  are  busy 
with  "addenda."  I'll  bet  that  very  few  of  the 
good  things  you  lhave  published  will  get  so 
much  circulation  and  so  many  emendations 
as  this  list.  No.  17  is  a  stroke  of  genius — as  a 
radical,  not  tired  yet,  I'll  say  so. 

But,  lest  we  forget,  how  about  a  few  more  ? 

Dante's  Inferno  (but  this  is  too  easy — every- 
body will  be  in  on  this.  Clever  of  Blumenthal

BUY  A  BOOK  A  WEEK 

1140  Broadway,  N.  Y. 
Editor,  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY: 

Apropos  the  discussion  about  "Buy  a  Book 
A  Week"  Campaign : 

Going  home  on  the  train  last  night  I  ran  into 
a  neighbor  of  mine  who  is  connected  with  the 
Equitable  Life  Insurance  Company.  During 
our  conversation  he  said  he  had  seem  so  many 
advertisements  about  "Buy  a  Book  a  Week" 
that  he  had  decided  this  year  to  do  it  and  since 
the  first  of  1922  he  has  bought  one  book  each 
week  (and  one  week  he  bought  two).  He 
sa&d  he  hadn't  time  to  read  them  yet  but  the 
"family  is  having  a  good  time." 

I  thought  this  would  interest  you  so  you 
would  know  that  the  hammering  about  the 
commercial  value  of  this  slogan  is  not  detri- 
mental to  the  plan.  I  believe  in  spite  of  the 
argument  about  commercializing  that  this  is  the 
proper  slogan.  Yours  very  truly, 

GROSSET  &  DUNLAP,

voted especially  to  prints,  a  business  that 
Goodspeed's  has  been  very  largely  developing 
in  the  past  few  years,  but  the  activities  have 
now  outgrown  the  spaoq  that  could  be  allotted 
to  them  at  Park  Street.

Obituary  Notes 

LEMUEL  W.  BANGS 
MANY  readers  of  the  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY 
read  with  deep  regret  the  obituary  of  the  late 
Lemuel  W.  Bangs  in  the  January  7  issue.  Lon- 
don representative  of  Charles  Scribner's  Sons 
for  38  years,  he  was  better  known  to  older 
members  of  the  trade  than  to  the  younger  men, 


LEMUEL  W.  BANGS 
(Photograph  taken  several  years  ago) 
but  he  was  everywhere  held  in  the  most  affec- 
tionate regard.    In  the  London  Publishers'  Cir- 
cular there  appeared  the  following  letter  from 
Gerald  Duckworth. 

DEAR  MR.  MARSTON, — I  am  sure  all  publishers 
and  booksellers  will  hear  with  very  deep  regret 
that  Mr.  Lemuel  W.  Bangs  died  on  Thursday, 
December  isth,  in  his  Sand  year.  He  was  born 
on  April  25th,  1839.  Associated  with  Messrs. 
Charles  Scribner's  Sons,  New  York,  for  over 
50  years,  he  came  to  London  and  represented 
the  firm  for  38  years.  He  was  in  active  charge 
except  for  the  last  three  or  four  years  when 
Mr.  Kingsley  came  over.  I  venture  to  send 
this  note  as,  besides  knowing  Mr.  Bangs  inti- 
mately in  business  wfheti  our  relations  were  al- 
ways of  the  most  cordial,  I  used  to  see  him 
continually  at  the  Garrick  Club.  He  was  elect- 
ed a  member  in  1886,  and  his  great  friend  and 
chief,  Mr.  Charles  Scribner,  was  elected  in  1903. 
He  dined  at  the  club  most  nights,  sitting  in- 
variably at  the  same  table  and  we  always  knew 
the  time  at  luncheon  as,  regularly  as  clockwork, 
he  appeared  at  2  o'clock.  He  was  much  loved 
by  the  members,  and  everybody  called  him  "The 
Senator."  He  wore  a  peculiar  frock-coat  made 
to  his  own  design  by  Poole,  the  celebrated  tailor 


of  Savile  Row,  and  he  had  never  had  the  cut 
altered  since  he  first  arrived  in  London.  He 
had  a  pretty  taste  in  ties  and  wore  always 
some  choice  flower  in  his  buttonhole.  "The 
Senator"  had  many  good  stories  to  tell  his 
friends,  and  used  to  present  them  with  cig- 
arettes the  size  of  a  cigar.  I  feel  sure  that  all 
those  who  met  him  both  in  business  and  in  pri- 
vate wi'll  feel  a  great  personality  has  left  us. 
May  we  all,  as  I  know  he  would  wish  us,  raise 
our  glasses  to  his  memory. — Yours  sincerely, 
GERALD  DUCKWORTH. 

ARTHUR  HOWARD  ABENDROTH 

ARTHUR  HOWARD  ABENDROTH,  president  of 
the  Fitzgerald  Publishing  Corporation,  succes- 
sors to  Dick  &  Fitzgerald,  New  York,  died  on 
January  3oth  of  heart  failure.  Mr.  Abendroth 
was  for  many  years  manager  of  the  old  com- 
pany at  18  Ann  street  and  after  the  death  of 
Harris  B.  Dick  he  organized  the  present  corpo- 
ration in  which  he  was  active  until  a  few  weeks 
before  his  death.  He  was  member  of  the 
Union  League  and  Players'  Club  and  a  Veteran 
of  the  7th  Regiment. 

JOHN  BUTLER  YEATS 

JOHN  BUTLER  YEATS,  painter  and  essayist, 
father  of  William  Butler  Yeats,  the  Irish  poet 
and  Jack  B.  Yeats,  also  an  artist,  died  Feb- 
ruary 4,  in  New  York  City.  Mr.  Yeats  was 
born  in  1839  at  Tullylish,  Ireland.  He  was 
graduated  with  honors  from  Trinity  College, 
Dublin,  and  a  year  after  being  admitted  to  the 
bar  gave  up  the  law  for  art.  He  knew  most  of 
the  prominent  Irishmen  of  the  last  forty  years. 
Since  1910  Mr.  Yeats  had  made  his  home  in  this 
country.  He  was  a  frequent  contributor  to 
magazines  of  articles  on  literary  and  art 
subjects. 

JAMES   B.    PINKER 

JAMES  B.  PINKER,  literary  and  dramatic 
agent,  of  Talbot  House,  London,  died  Febru- 
ary 8  at  the  Hotel  Biltmore  of  pneumonia  de- 
veloping from  influenza.  He  arrived  in  the 
city  February  3  on  the  Aquitania.  Mr.  Pinker 
was  58  years  old.  Among  the  authors  whom 
he  had  represented  in  this  country  was  Henry 
James,  Joseph  Conrad,  John  Galsworthy,  Frank 
Swinnerton  and  Compton  Mackenzie.  The 
intimacy  and  helpfulness  of  his  relations  with 
men  like  Joseph  Conrad  were  such  that  not  a 
few  great  writers  owe  much  of  their  public 
success  to  him.  With  him  at  the  time  of  his 
death  was  his  17-year-old  daughter,  Eononie, 
who  crossed  the  ocean  with  him.  Also  sur- 
viving are  his  wife  and  two  sons,  Eric  and 
Ralph  Pinker,  the  former  associated  with  his 
father  in  business.

A.   KROCH 

The  Michigan  Arenitc  Bookseller 
A.  KROCH  first  evidenced  real  interest  in  books 
at  the  age  of  four.  Disgusted  at  the  slow  growth 
of  his  library,  he  divided  books  into  chapters  and 
bound  the  chapters  separately  and  labeled  them. 
At  the  age  of  twenty,  to  avoid  going  into  his 
father's  banking  business,  he  sold  his  library 
and  with  the  money  bought  a  ticket  to  America. 
For  four  years  he  worked  in  a  book  shop  before 
he  opened  his  own  store  at  59  Monroe  Street, 
and  after  nine  years  there  he  moved  to  Michigan 
Avenue,  one  of  the  first  pioneers  on  the  famous 
boulevard.

EDWARD  T.  BELLAMY 
Representing  Grosset  &  Dnnlaf 
MR.  BELLAMY  was  born  in  Rochester,  N.  Y., 
and  his  eearly  experiences  in  the  bookfield  were 
in  Scrantom's  there.  He  is  a  graduate  of 
Williams  College.  Feeling  the  call  of  the  soil 
he  took  a  course  at  Cornell  Agricultural  .College 
and  spent  several  years  in  scientific  farming. 
The  lure  of  books  proving  stronger  than  the  lure 
of  farming,  however,  he  entered  the  book  field 
with  LeRoy  Philips  of  Boston.  He  joined  the 
organization  of  Grosset  &  Dunlap  in  1914  where 
his  winning1  personality  and  rel;.i'>:1i  v  Imve  made 
him  a  most  valued  member  of  their  sales  staff.

NSOLD  or  returned  books  of  the  Henry 
Huth  collection,  numbering  232  lots,  will 
be  sold  at  Sotheby's  in  London  February 


Hitherto  unpublished  chapters  from  the 
"Autobiography"  of  Mark  Twain  are  now  ap- 
pearing in  Harper's  Magazine.  Selections  were 
printed  in  the  North  American  Review  in  1906 
and  1907  but  the  greater  portion  of  the  manu- 
script remained  unpublished. 

Another  important  Dickens  collection,  that 
of  William  Clyde  Wilkins  of  Pittsburgh,  rich 
in  first  editions  and  Dickensiana  of  every  de- 
scription, will  be  sold  at  the  Anderson  Galler- 
ies, February  13  and  14.  Mr.  Wilkins  has 
been  one  of  the  most  enthusiastic  and  constant 
of  American  Dickens  collectors  and  the  gath- 
ering that  he  has  made  has  never  been  sur- 
passed in  general  interest. 

The  Harvard  University  Corporation  has 
passed  a  resolution  opposing  the  book  schedule 
of  the  Fordney  Tariff  Bill  and  has  forwarded 
the  same  to  Chairman  Fordney.  The  resolu- 
tion states  that  in  the  opinion  of  the  corpora- 
tion the  proposal  would  "seriously  handicap 
American  libraries,  teachers  and  men  of 
science  and  would  accomplish  no  useful  pur- 
pose commensurate  with  the  harm  done  to 
American  scholarship." 

The  next  booksale  at  the  American  Art 
Galleries  will  be  held  on  February  27  when 
the  collection  of  colonial  and  constitutional 
laws  from  the  library  of  Russell  Benedict,  jus- 
tice of  the  supreme  court  of  New  York,  will 
be  dispersed.  This  collection  not  only  con- 
tains some  very  rare  lots  of  colonial  New  York 
laws  but  of  the  other  original  thirteen 
colonies  as  well.  It  is  said  to  be  one  of  the 
most  important  collections  of  its  kind  in  this 
country. 

Among  the  various  commemorations  of  the 
sixth  centenary  of  Dante's  death  in  Europe, 
the  most  important  was  that  held  by  the  Lau- 
rentian  Library  at  Florence.  Here  were  seven 
rooms  filled  with  the  rarest  known  manu- 
scripts, first  and  early  editions,  translations, 
author's  letters  and  manuscripts  and  personal 
relics  of  the  great  Italian  poet.  This  library 
alone  contains  180  early  manuscripts  of  Dante's 
writings  or  of  books  relating  to  him.  To 
these  manuscripts  and  other  material  were 
added  loans  from  private  collections  and 


other  well-known  libraries  in  Italy.  Some 
Dante  scholars  who  went  to  Florence 
especially  to  see  this  exhibition  have  written 
with  the  greatest  enthusiasm  about  it. 

Not  since  Walter  T.  Wallace  was  gathering 
his  important  library  a  decade  ago  and  per- 
sonally attending  the  auctions  and  doing  his 
own  bidding,  has  another  collector  followed  the 
same  course  to  the  extent  that  William  R.  Hearst 
is  now  doing.  George  G.  Smith,  it  will  be  re- 
membered, made  Mr.  Wallace  pay  very  high 
prices  for  many  of  his  books.  But  times  have 
greatly  changed  since  those  days.  There  has 
been  no  indication  that  the  trade  has  resented 
Mr*.  Hearst's  independent  buying.  Of  course 
Mr.  Hearst  has  paid  pretty  well  for  some  of 
his  books  but  this  was  because  he  is  always 
buying  the  best  and  when  he  wants  a  lot  he  is 
quite  willing  to  pay  for  it.  Mr.  Hearst  seems 
to  enjoy  the  sport  very  much  and  he  adds  a 
picturesque  and  dramatic  element  to  the  sales 
he  attends  that  makes  him  doubly  welcome  to 
those  who  attend  for  the  entertainment  that 
they  can  get  out  of  them. 


The  Ruskin  collection  of  Charles  E.  Good- 
speed,  the  Boston  rare  book  dealer,  the  result 
of  many  years  of  painstaking  search,  consist- 
ing of  first  and  other  editions  of  interest  and 
importance  and  a  vast  amount  of  Ruskiniana, 
said  to  be  the  most  extensive  in  this  country 
and  probably  not  surpassed  by  any  in  England 
with  the  possible  exception  of  that  belonging 
to  Sir  Alexander  Wedderburn,  has  been  pre- 
sented to  the  Wellesley  College  Libary.  This 
library  has  also  received  important  gifts  from 
Prof.  George  Herbert  Palmer  of  his  Tennyson 
and  Browning  collections  consisting  of  first  and 
rare  editions,  complete  in  the  case  of  Tenny- 
son, and  also  in  that  of  Robert  and  Elizabeth 
Barrett  Browning  with  the  exception  of  "Pau- 
line." Both  include  manuscripts  of  great  value ; 
in  the  one  case,  the  still  unpublished  love  let- 
ters of  Arthur  Hallam  to  Emily  Tennyson,  and, 
in  the  other,  the  original  manuscript  of  "Au- 
rora Leigh,"  corrected  and  interlined  and  anno- 
tated so  as  to  be  almost  undecipherable.

THE  LEGACY  OF  GREECE 

Edited  by  R.  W.  LIVINGSTONE  ^t  #3.25 

A  remarkable  book  written  by  a  dozen  of  the  world's  greatest 
classical  scholars  to  show  what  modern  civilization  owes  to 
that  of  Greece  and  what  it  can  still  learn  from  her. 

A  BOOK  OF  WOMEN'S  VERSE 

<By  J.  C.  SQUIRE  ^  #3.75 

"Poetry  is  poetry  whoever  writes  it,  but  so  far  as  my  observation 
goes,  people  do  feel  curiosity  about  women's  contributions  to 
the  arts.  I  felt  this  curiosity  when  I  conceived  this  anthology: 
and  it  would  be  stupid  not  to  admit  it."  A  delightful  addition 
to  Mr.  Squire's  already  long  list  of  charming  volumes. 

WILTSHIRE  ESSAYS 

^By  MAURICE  HEWLETT  "f^et  #2.50 

In  a  happy  mood  Mr.  Hewlett  says  of  these  essays  "they  were 
all  written  in  my  county.  Some  of  them  deal  with  the  doings 
of  my  neighbors  as  I  view  them  from  here ;  some  deal  with 
literature  as  I  think  about  it  here."  Incidentally  they  make 
good  reading  for  anybody  anywhere. 

A  MUSICAL  PILGRIM'S  PROGRESS 

D.  M.  RORKE  Ifft  #2.25 

Written  with  candour  and  without  convention  this  book  records 
the  psychological  development  of  an  amateur  music  lover. 
A  most  attractive  book  for  anyone  to  whom  music  means  more 
than  sounding  brass  or  tinkling  cymbal.

PEACE  CONFERENCE 

A  HISTORY  OF  THE  PEACE 

CONFERENCE 

€dited  by  H.  W.  V.  Temperley 

5  vols.  "T^et  #44.50 
This  is  a  great  work  on  a  great  sub- 
ject and  will  in  times  to  come  be 
accepted  as  the  standard  contem- 
porary history.  It  is  issued  under 
the  auspices  of  the  Institute  of  Inter- 
national Affairs. 

ORIENTAL 

THE  MUSIC  OF  INDIA 

By  Herbert  A.  Popley  #2.00 

An  authoritative  manual  which  leads 
the  reader  by  gradual  steps  to  an 
understanding  of  the  standards  by 
which  Indian  music  should  be  judged 
and  to  the  conviction  that  it  is  not 
only  an  art  but  a  difficult  and  intricate 
one  too. 

RABINDRANATH  TAGORE. 
<By  E.  J.  Thompson  #1.15 

A  brief  but  satisfactory  biography 
throwing  much  light  on  the  oriental 
subtlety  of  Tagore's  thought.  It  is 
also  the  first  study  to  be  based  on 
the  original  Bengali  texts. 


A  splendidly  illustrated  work  describing  the  subject  and  signifi-    SERINDIA 


cance  of  these  paintings.  Those  who  have  read  George  Dennis 
Cities  and  Cemeteries  of  Etruria  will  find  here  the  illustrations  so 
notably  lacking  in  that  work. 

THE  SECOND  PERSON  SINGULAR 
AND  OTHER  ESSAYS 

%  ALICE  MEYNELL  #2.70 

Miss  Meynell,  whose  writing  Meredith  speaks  of  as  "lucid  in 
its  depth"  contributes  a  new  volume  of  critical  studies  dealing 
with  the  petits  maitres  in  literature  for  the  discriminating  reader. 


'By  Sir  Aurel  Stein  5  vols.  #90.00 
Officially  this  work  is  an  account  of 
Sir  Aurel  Stein's  great  Central- Asian 
expedition  in  the  years  1906-9,  but 
actually  it  is  an  inexhaustible  mine 
for  any  one  interested  in  Asian  art, 
archaeology,  manners,  customs  and 
early  history.  A  work  to  marvel  at 
for  its  hundreds  of  beautiful  plates 
in  color  and  collotype.

Our  Travelers  will  tell  you  of  these, 
but  perhaps  you'd  like  advance 
information. 


(1)  We  have   every   reason   to  believe  that  the  imposing  life  of 
William  De  Morgan,  which  we  shall  publish  in  early  April,  will  stand 
out  as  the  most  important  literary  biography    of  the    year.     It  is 
charmingly    illustrated    from    paintings,    caricatures,    reproductions 
of    letters,    and    delightfully    informal    photographs.      The    150,000 
readers  of  De  Morgan's  books  will  place  this  with  pride  on  their 
shelves  beside  his  novels. 

(2)  In  fiction  we  have  "Patchwork/'  a  brilliant  novel  of  post-war 
days  at  Oxford.     It  is  a  sort  of  counterpart  of  Fitzgerald's  and 
Benet's  point  of  view  in  relation  to  England.    The  London  Observer 
says  "At  last  here  is  a  novel  which  will  live!"    "Children  of  Trans- 
gression" by  G.  Vere  Taylor  is  a  thrilling  story  of  the  South.    Gage 
has  caught  the  spirit  of  the  book  in  his  four  color  jacket.     "The 
Secret  Partner"  by  Elizabeth  Frazer  is  the  first  novel  of  one  of  the 
most  popular  writers  on  the  staff  of  the  Saturday  Evening  Post. 

(3)  Romain  Holland's  new  love    story,  Pierre  et  Luce,  is  fiction  of 
such  importance  that  we  list  it  separately. 

(4)  Of  singular  timeliness  also  is  a  new  book  "Motion  Pictures  for 
Community  Needs."     It  will  solve  the  problems  which   have  con- 
fronted so  many  churches  and  colleges  in  the  selection  and  use  of 
pictures  of  the  higher  type  for  educational  and  community  purposes. 

(5)  We  have  twenty-five  other  books  ranging  from  biography  to 
a  helpful  book  on  Golf.    Our  Spring  Catalogue,  attractively  gotten 
up  with  illustrations,  is  now  ready  and  we  shall  be  glad  to  mail  it 
to  you  at  your  request.

RUTH 
COMFORT 
MITCHELL 


Her  Chinese  servant  gave  her  a  good  luck  medal,  the  symbol  on  which  reads  "Live 
a  Thousand  Years  and  Never  be  Sick  or  Sorry."  And  what  she  says  is,  "I  intend 
to  do  just  that !" 

San  Francisco  was  the  birthplace  of  this  cheerful  novelist  and  most  of  her  life  has 
been  spent  there  or  in  Los  Angeles.  Periods  in  New  York,  in  Europe  and  in 
Mexico  have  intervened,  but  always  she  has  returned  to  the  California,  than  which 
she  thinks  therei  is  no  more  beautiful  spot  on  earth.  She  is  married,  the  brink  of 
the  Grand  Canyon  in  Arizona  having  been  the  setting  for  her  wedding. 
Now  she  lives  and  writes  in  a  home  a  thousand  feet  up  in  the  foothills  of  the  Santa 
Cruz  mountains,  looking-  over  the  Santa  Clara  Valley  and  away  to  San  Francisco 
Bay.  There  is  not  a  level  inch  on  the  ranch  anywhere— all  buildings  hang 
precariously  onto  ledges  which  have  been  blasted  out  for  them.  "We  raise 
everything  we  eat  but  the  staple  groceries  and  the  filet  mignon,"  she  says. 
Her  writing  is  done  in  a  little  work  house  high  on  the  cliff.  When/  not  writing 
she  is  usually  in  the  saddle,  tearing  over  the  hills,  with  a  varied  assortment  of 
favorite  dogs  accompanying  her. 


JANE  JOURNEYS  ON  is  Ruth  Comfort  Mitchell's  new  novel. 
Like  her  previous  popular  story,  "Play  the  Game,"  it  is  a  brisk 
and  joyous  tale,  which  will  appeal  to  all  wiho  enjoy  the  humor  and 
sentiment  of  youth. 

The  heroine  is  a  delight  and  her  journeyings  are  of  surprising 
variety.  From  her  small  village  home  she  goes  to  New  York,  to 
make  her  way  by  her  talent  for  writing.  The  success  she  meets 
with,  the  ipeople  she  encounters,  her  adventures  when  she  journeys 
out  to  Chicago  and  down  to  Mexico,  the  final  climax  to  her  wan- 
derings in  which  a  charming  young  man  is  involved,  all  go  to 
make  this  a  novel  of  surpassing  qualities  of  entertainment.

By  WILLIAM  JOHNSTON

his(  previous  efforts  ini  "The  Tragedy  at  the  Beach  Club." 

Carolyn  Wells  says:  "'The  Tragedy  at  the  Beach  Club'  qualifies  about  one  hundred  per  cent 
as  a  satisfactory  detective  story.  It  has  a  well-constructed  plot,  swift,  fine  action,  and  live  worth-

VAN  ZANTEN'S 
HAPPY  DA  YS 

By  Laurids  Bruan 


The  most  famous  "South  Sea"  book  in 
the  world  today.  It  has  been  translated 
into  Danish,  German,  Dutch,  Bohemian, 
Finnish,  English,  Swedish,  and  Russian.  In 
Germany  alone  it  sold  almost  200,000  copies. 
It  is  really  "different."  $2.00  net 


By  Knut  Hamsun 


The  only  mature  novel  of  Hamsun's  besides  "Growth  of 
the  Soil"  I  have  yet  published.  A  moving  story  of  a  mar- 
riage and  its  dissolution,  it  is  also  a  poetic  record  of  what 
may  have  been  the  author's  own  experience  as  a  field-hand 
and  wanderer.  $2.50  net 


SALT  LAKE 

By  Pierre  Benoit 


SALT 

LAKE 


Over  150,000  copies  of  this  novel  were 
sold  in  France  since  its  publication  there 
last  summer,  and  Benoit  is  being  hailed  as  a 
new  Dumas.  It  has  every  element  to  make 
for  equal  success  here.  An  exciting  story 
of  Salt  Lake  City  in  the  days  of  Brigham 
Young,  whose  heroine,  an  American  girl, 
becomes  the  wife  of  a  Mormon,  only  to  be- 
come degraded  and  disillusioned.  $2.00  net 


The  SOUL  of  a  CHILD 

By  Edwin  Bjorkman 

Mr.  Bjorkman  has  told  this  story  of  a  boy's  life  from 
the  age  of  five  to  fifteen  so  sympathetically,  understand- 
ingly  and  brilliantly  that  I  am  confident  of  its  immediate 
recognition  as  one  of  the  notable  works  of  our  day.  The 
book  is  frank  to  a  hitherto  unattempted  degree,  true — it 
carries  an  unforgettable  message  to  mothers  and  teachers 
— but  it  is,  first  and  foremost,  a  very  fine  novel,  a  literary 
achievement.  $2.50  net

THE   AMERICAN    BOOK   TRADE   JOURNAL 
FOUNDED  BY  F.  LEYPOLDT 

February   18,   1922 

"I  hold  every  man  a  debtor  to  his  profession, 
from  the  tvhich,  as  men  of  course  do  seek  to 
receive  countenance  and  profit,  so  ought  they  of 
duty  to  endeavor  themselves,  by  way  of  amends, 
to  be  a  help  and  ornament  thereunto."  —  BACON. 


Truth  in  Advertising 

THE  week  of  Washington's  birthday,  is 
as  appropriate  a  time  for  the  emphasis 
on  Truth,  as  Franklin's  birthday  is  for  an 
emphasis  on  Thrift,  and  that  section  of  the 
Advertising  Clubs  of  America  which  is  de- 
voted to  the  truth  movement  in  advertising 
and  which  is  represented  by  the  Better  Business 
Bureaus  in  thirty-seven  of  the  larger  cities  of 
the  country  will  hold  a  convention  at  the  quar- 
ters of  the  Advertising  Qub  of  St.  Louis. 
Nothing  that  the  advertising  organizations  of 
the  country  have  ever  done  has  been  more  fun- 
damentally important  to  the  growth  of  adver- 
tising and  more  nobly  conceived  in  its  future 
effect.  The  men  who  have  planted  the  seed 
and  nurtured  the  idea  deserve  all  possible 
credit.  The  business  men  who  have  supported 
these  Better  Business  Bureaus  in  the  laborious 
and  expensive  work  of  bettering  advertising 
conditions  deserve  all  credit. 

In  the  book  field  there  has  been  no  special 
organization  for  examining  into  advertising 
conditions,  but  the  need  of  high  standards  in 
this  respect  is  thoroly  appreciated.  Retail 
booksellers  who  have  any  conception  of  their 
responsibility  do  not  now  advertise  books  as 
being  marked  down  from  purely  nominal  list 
prices.  One  line  of  chain  stores  that  used  to 
display  regularly  "$4  dictionaries  for  $1.50"  now 
does  a  good  business  in  these  dictionaries  at 
$1.50  without  the  other  mention.  The  old 
habit  of  reprinting  subscription  sets  and  using 
as  a  list  price  for  advertising,  the  figure  which 
was  attached  to  the  original  and  more  care- 
ful printing  has  largely  subsided.  Some  old 
de  luxe  sets  may  be  advertised  from  $3.50  to 
$i  per  volume,  but  this  would  be  the  actual 
truth  of  the  case  and  not  an  artificial  figure. 
List  prices,  when  they  are  correct  list 
prices,  are  the  accurate  way  of  indicat- 
ing editions.  There  was  a  time  when 
reprint  fiction  was  often  advertised  as 
being  "fiction  of  the  regular  $1.50  char- 


acter for  75c."  This  was  in  a  way  the 
truth,  but  the  deceptive  character  of  the  state- 
ment has  caused  it  to  be  dropped.  Reprint  fic- 
tion is  a  good  buy  at  75c  without  suggesting 
that  it  is  the  same  thing  as  the  new  current 
fiction. 

Publishers'  figures  as  to  the  total  editions  are 
often  questioned  as  not  in  accordance  with 
standards  of  advertising  practice.  Not  always 
is  the  total  number  of  sales  used  in  advertising, 
but  when  used  there  is  usually  little  reason  to 
question  their  accuracy.  Any  publisher  who 
would  print  false  figures  in  an  endeavor  to  in- 
dicate the  popularity  of  his  book  is  doing  his 
own  business  a  poor  service.  The  fact  that 
the  public  has  a  very  hazy  idea  as  to  what 
constitutes  a  good  sale  of  a  book  leads  a  good 
many  publishers  to  indicate  the  progress  of 
sales  by  editions,  and  in  this  there  often  seems 
to  be  an  effort  to  carry  the  impression  of  larger 
sales  than  are  actually  the  case.  Just  what 
an  edition  is,  no  one  can  really  say.  If,  on  a 
popular  book,  the  number  of  times  the  book  is 
actually  put  back  on  the  press  is  stated  in  the 
advertising,  this  is  an  item  of  real  value  in  in- 
dicating the  public  demand. 

Publishers  are  also  questioned  for  book  de- 
scriptions used  on  some  jackets.  In  this  field, 
•however,  we  are  getting  into  the  very  debat- 
able ground  of  taste.  The  publisher  trying  to 
indicate  the  character  of  his  book  to  an  un- 
known audience  which  may  read  the  jacket  can- 
not always  word  his  brief  statement  so  that 
it  will  give  the  correct  impression  to  every 
reader.  The  common  word,  "iblurb,"  has  come 
into  frequent  use  because  of  over-statements 
that  have  often  occurred  in  the  case  of  new 
books,  and  healthy  ridicule  is  the  best  cure  for 
this  type  of  over-statement  when  it  occurs. 

The  book-trade  should  give  all  interest  and 
support  to  advertisers  who  are  emphasizing 
the  importance  of  Truth  in  Advertising,  and 
everyone  who  wishes  to  make  his  profession  a 
gainer  from  his  work  should  do  his  part  to 
keep  book-trade  methods  above  criticism. 

Stating  Prices  Right 

SINCE  printing  an  editorial  on  honest  ad- 
vertising in  books,  we  have  had  called  to 
our  attention  the  circular  sent  out  in  con- 
nection with  the  selling  of  the  Review  of  Re- 
views plus  "The  Outline  of  History"  at  $6.50. 
The  people   in  the  trade  can  interpret  this 
circular.     Can  the  average  reader  understand 
it?     The  circular  reads  in  part: 


436 

"An  offer  we  can  never  make  again — 'The 
Outline  of  History'  at  one-third  the  original 
price.  Think  of  it,  a  discount  of  sixty-seven 
percent  from  the  price  that  250,000  people  have 
already  paid  .  .  .  Voluntarily  Wells  slashed 
his  royalties  eighty-five  percent  and  entered 
into  a  contract  with  the  Review  of  Reviervs 
by  which  a  new  edition — exactly  the  same  as 
the  first  except  that  it  is  in  one  volume  and 
has  his  own  revisions — can 'be  offered  to  you 
at  a  fraction  of  the  price  of  the  first  .  .  . 
Wells'  marvelous  history  at  the  price  of  $3.50 
and  a  year's  subscription  to  the  Reviezv  of  Re- 
views at  its  regular  price  of  $4,  both  $7.50  in 
monthly  payments  or  $6.50  in  cash.  ...  By  a 
fortunate  arrangement  we  can  offer  it  in  full 
leather  at  a  lower  price  than  cloth  binding 
would  have  cost  you  a  year  ago,  $9.50  in  cash, 
when  taken  with  the  Review  of  Reviews. 

It  may  be  that  it  is  fair  to  refer  to  the  one 
volume  Wells  as  the  same  work  as  the  original 
and  therefore  tc>  make  direct  price  comparisons. 
This,  however,  is  questionable.  To  offer  the 
two  at  $7.50  with  $5  given  as  the  price  of  the 
'history  and  $250  as  the  price  of  the  magazine 
would  be  more  in  accordance  with  what  the 
trade  believes  the  offer  to  be.  On  that  basis  it 
is  a  good  purchase,  but  apparently  not  spec- 
tacular enough  to  lend  itself  to  a  campaign. 


Book  Price  Levels 

WE  have  from  time  to  time  gathered 
data  as  to  the  comparative  price  levels 
of  different  types  of  books,  but,  owing 
to  the  variance  between  books,  it  has  been 
difficult  to  get  a  general  view  of  'the  whole 
situation,  which  it  is  important  to  know  in 
order  that  publishers  may  estimate  how  much 
more  capital  they  are  likely  to  have  locked  up 
on  a  certain  volume  of  business,  that  retailers 
may  know  how  much  more  investment  they 
will  have  to  have  to  carry  a  certain  number 
of  thousands  of  volumes,  and  that  libraries  may 
know  how  much  increased  appropriation  they 
may  need  in  order  to  get  given  supplies  of 
books. 

Another  view  of  this  subject  has  been  sug- 
gested by  looking  over  a  list  of  books  that  was 
made  out  five  years  ago  to  Serve  as  a  model 
home  library.  The  list  was  made  and  priced 
m  June,  1917,  and  included  h&me  books  of 
reference,  histories,  books  on  general  science, 
music,  nature  books,  poetry,  classics,  novels, 
current  fiction  and  children's  books — in  all,  166 
volumes.  This  total  does  not  include  n  titles 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 

that  have  gone  out  of  print,  rather  less  per- 
haps than  would  have  been  expected.  The 
total  retail  price  of  -the  books  at  that  time 
was  $234;  the  present  price  would  be  $348,  a 
49%  increase.  The  highest  increases  were  on 
the  imported  series  of  classics.  Eliminating 
these,  the  rate  of  increase  was  45%.  There 
was  no  book  on  the  entire  list  that  had  not 
changed,  the  smallest  increases  being  20% 
and  the  highest  100%.  The  great  majority, 
however,  ran  along  about  40%  which  kept 
the  average  in  the  40*5.  Some  wider  investi- 
gation might  be  made,  but  this  may  serve  as 
a  fairly  accurate  estimate. 

This  places  books  at  the  beginning  of  1922 
on  a  scale  lower  than  most  commodities  as 
compared  witih  five  years  ago  and  lower  in 
percentage  of  increase  than  most  of  the 
component  materials  that  make  up  the  book. 
Paper  is  now  about  60%  higher  than  it  was, 
binding  cloth  70%  higher,  electrotyping  wages 
150%  up  and  printers'  wages  double.

The  Educational  Renaissance  and  the  Book  Publisher* 

Joy  Elmer  Morgan,  Washington,  D.  C. 
Editor   of   the   Journal   of  the   National    Education    Association 


EDUCATION  today  is  being  influenced  by 
important  tendencies  both  within  and  with- 
out the  school  that  are  prophetic  of  a 
greatly  enlarged  usefulness  for  the  publisher 
of  books.  Taken  collectively  as  phenomena  of 
this  unique  period  of  world  life  these  educa- 
tional tendencies  prophesy  a  marked  eleva- 
tion of  the  intellectual  life  of  the  great  mass 
of  mankind.  The  early  advocates  of  universal 
education  could  hardly  have  foreseen  the 
world  sweep  of  the  democratic  impulse  of 
today  and  the  currents  in  education  which 
have  sprung  from  that  impulse. 

These  currents  may  be  grouped  under 
three  heads.  In  the  first  place,  the  science  of 
education  is  making  rapid  progress.  Educa- 
tional method  is  passing  thru  a  period  of 
change  in  the  direction  of  larger  initiative 
and  individuality  for  the  learner.  In  the 
second  place,  there  is  developing  within  the 
group  of  educational  workers  a  heightened 
sense  of  professional  obligation  which  is 
finding  expression  in  the  growth  of  pro- 
fessional organizations  and  in  indications 
that  such  organizations  will  be  the  policy- 
determining  agencies  of  the  future.  In  the 
third  place,  there  are  unmistakable  signs  of 
a  new  faith  in  education  on  the  part  of  peo- 
ple generally,  not  only  in  America  but  thru- 
out  the  world. 

In  its  relation  to  security  and  progress,  the 
science  of  education  is  no  less  important 
than  compulsory  attendance  and  the  ma- 
chinery of  administration.  It  is  not  enough 
that  every  child  be  kept  in  school  during  the 
formative  period  of  his  life.  It  is  not  enough 
that  he  be  assured  a  mature  and  competent 
teacher.  The  education  of  every  boy  and 
girl  must  be  so  conducted  as  to  preserve  and 
develop  those  elements  of  personality  that 
are  especially  valuable  in  a  democratic  social 
structure.  The  ultimate  measure  of  class- 
room procedure  is  the  sort  of  social,  fitness 
it  develops.  This  fact  is  being  recognized  to- 
day as  never  before.  The  school  of  the  future 
will  be  essentially  democratic  m  its  relation- 
ships. The  publishers  of  textbooks  have  al- 
ready felt  this  tendency  toward  democracy 
in  course  of  study  and  school  management. 
It  has  significant  consequences  also  for  the 
publisher  of  general  books  because  its  whole 
aim  is  to  make  of  the  child  a  thinking  citizen 
— to  fix  habits  of  intelligent  living  which 
will  carry  over  into  adult  life. 


*  Address  delivered  before  the  National  Association 
of  Book  Publishers  at  their  Second  Annual  Luncheon. 


The  democratic  attitude  toward  the  learner 
has  given  rise  to  the  use  of  scientific  tests 
and  measurements,  to  pupil  participation  in 
school  government,  to  the  source  method,  the 
project  method,  the  socialized  recitation,  and 
to  the  wider  use  of  books  and  libraries.  The 
significance  of  these  newer  practices  is 
emphasized  when  one  considers  the  enormous 
size  of  the  Nation's  school  factory. 

There  are  in  the  United  States  28,000,000 
children  of  school  age.  In  order  to  handle 
these  great  numbers  of  children  effectively 
they  must  be  grouped  in  classes  and  grades 
and  given  prescribed  courses  of  study.  Ways 
of  making  this  classification  on  a  scientific 
basis  are  being  developed,  but  the  fact  re- 
mains that  millions  of  children  must  be  put 
thru  a  common  mould.  If  this  passing 
thru  a  common  mould  is  not  to  crush 
initiative,  the  child  must  be  surrounded  with 
materials  that  will  provoke  study  and  investi- 
gation on  his  own  account.  To  do  just  this 
is  the  function  of  books.  The  growing  recog- 
nition of  this  function  is  found  in  resolutions 
of  education  associations  urging  the  develop- 
ment of  libraries,  in  special  equipment  in  new 
school  buildings,  in  an  increasing  demand 
for  trained  librarians,  and  in  legislation  look- 
ing to  state-wide  systems  of  libraries  fostered 
by  State  and  Federal  aid. 

There  is  no  single  public  educational  activ- 
ity that  in  proportion  to  its  cost  has  greater 
undeveloped  possibilities  than  the  free  public 
library.  Not  over  twenty  per  cent  of  the 
citizens  of  the  United  States  now  have  access 
to  a  free  library.  Perhaps  less  than  one  per 
cent  actually  uses  public  libraries.  But  a 
new  day  is  dawning.  Tihe  development  of  the 
ideal  of  a  state-wide  system,  using  the 
county  as  the  unit  of  trained  service,  is 
putting  new  life  into  the  library  movement. 
Training  within  the  school  has  never  pointed 
so  directly  toward  the  use  of  the  public  li- 
brary. There  is  a  growing  conviction  among 
educational  leaders  that  the  school  is  only  the 
beginning — that  public  libraries  must  be  de- 
veloped to  perpetuate  the  fine  spirit  and  the 
high  ideals  which  schools  exist  to  create.  Fifty 
years  ago  the  schools  were  relatively  as  poor 
and  inadequate  as  public  libraries  are  today — 
compulsory  attendance  was  fighting  for  recog- 
nition. Today  there  is  not  a  state  in  the  Union 
that  does  not  have  compulsory  attendance. 
Fifty  years  from  now  there  will  not  be  a  state 
in  the  Union  that  will  not  require  and  aid 
every  community  to  maintain  a  library.

The  Publishers'   Weekly 


Along  with  these  developments  in  the  science 
of  education  has  grown  up  a  new  spirit  in  tht 
teaching  force  of  the  Nation.  This  awakened 
sense  of  professional  responsibility  among 
educational  workers  will  encourage  reading 
both  among  them  and  the  people  with  whom 
they  come  in  contact.  I  need  not  dwell  upon 
the  oft  repeated  statement  that  the  teacher 
is  not  a  reader.  I  need  not  even  give  the 
facts  that  have  been  cited  to  prove  that  state- 
ment. It  is  far  more  to  our  purpose  to  an- 
alyze briefly  the  social  composition  of  the 
teaching  population  of  the  United  States  and 
then  to  ask  why  we  should  expect  high 
standards  of  intellectual  life  from  a  group  of 
men  and  women  so  composed.  There  are 
something  over  600,000  public  school  teachers 
in  the  United  States.  If  these  teachers  were 
to  form  in  line  side  by  side,  the  line  would 
be  300  miles  long.  If  they  were  arranged  in 
this  line  in  the  order  of  age  and  one  were  to 
start  with  the  youngest  teacher,  he  would 
pass  by  tens  of  thousands  of  teachers  only 
sixteen,  seventeen,  or  eighteen  years  old  and 
would  traverse  one  fourth  of  the  entire  thr«e 
hundred  miles  before  he  would  come  to  the 
first  teacher  who  had  passed  the  age  of 
twenty-one. 

If  the  line  were  to  form  again  upon  the 
basis  of  attendance  at  school,  one  would  pass 
30,000  teadhers  before  reaching  the  first 
individual  who  has  had  more  than  an  eighth- 
grade  education;  he  would  pass  150,000  teach- 
ers before  reaching  the  first  individual  whose 
education  amounted  to  more  than  two  years  of 
high-school  work;  he  would  have  passed  480,- 
ooo  teachers  before  he  reached  the  first 
teacher  with  two  years  of  training  after 
graduation  from  high  school.  With  480,000 — 
or  four-fifths — of  our  public  school  teachers 
comparatively  untrained,  need  we  be  surprised 
that  they  have  not  developed  'the  reading  habit 
either  in  themselves  or  in  the  children  they 
have  taught? 

This  would  be  indeed  a  dark  picture  if 
there  were  not  another  side.  That  other  side 
is  found  in  professional  organization.  Pro- 
fessional organizations  among  teachers  began 
as  forums  for  the  discussion  of  the  problems 
of  education.  The  part  played  by  these  dis- 
cussions has  not  diminished  during  the  past 
few  years — indeed  it  has  increased — but  pro- 
fessional organizations  have  passed  into  a 
new  period  of  development  which  we  may  call 
the  period  of  action  and  democratic  control. 
The  old  associations  were  composed  chiefly  of 
persons  who  attended  the  meetings  or  who  de- 
sired to  have  their  publications.  The  new 
associations  are  composed  of  all  teachers  who 
elect  representatives  to  attend  the  meetings. 
The  meetings  of  representatives  in  the  Na- 


tional Association  and  in  the  associations  of 
the  more  progressive  States  frame  patriotic 
programs  of  educational  development. 

As  a  result  of  their  representative  character 
and  of  the  programs  for  which  they  stand, 
these  associations  have  had  enormous  mem- 
bership growth  in  recent  years.  For  example, 
before  1918  active  membership  in  the  National 
Education  Association  remained  under  ten 
thousand ;  on  January  I,  1921  it  was  over  48,- 
ooo;  on  January  I,  1922  it  was  over  83,000; 
new  memberships  are  now  coming  in  at  the 
rate  of  over  a  thousand  a  day.  A  similar 
growth  may  be  found  among  the  State  asso- 
ciations. The  Pennsylvania  association  num- 
bered 18,000  in  1918;  34,000  in  1920;  and  40,- 
ooo  in  1921.  The  Texas  association  num- 
bered 3000  in  1918;  8000  in  1920;  and  14,000 
in  1921. 

Backed  by  these  large  and  growing  member- 
ships both  State  and  National  associations 
have  been  able  to  accomplish  much  for  the 
advancement  of  education.  The  laws  which 
have  been  added  to  the  statute  books  of  the 
States  in  consequence  of  organized  pro- 
fessional effort  are  numbered  in  scores.  The 
support  which  has  rallied  to  the  legislative 
program  of  the  National  Education  Associa- 
tion will  stand  out  in  educational  history  as 
marking  the  beginning  of  a  new  epoch  in  this 
republic.  That  program  in  its  naked  outline 
consists  of  two  main  propositions :  First,  the 
creation  of  a  Federal  Department  of  Educa- 
tion with  a  Secretary  in  the  President's  Cab- 
inet and  second,  Federal  subventions  to  the 
States  to  promote  certain  phases  of  education 
which  are  fundamental  to  good  citizenship  in 
both  State  and  Nation.  A  year  ago,  the  suc- 
cess of  this  program  might  have  been  doubted ; 
to  doubt  it  now  would  be  to  doubt  the  very 
tides.  From  every  corner  of  the  Nation  there 
has  come  such  a  wave  of  popular  support  that 
if  legislation  does  not  pass  this  Congress, 
there  is  certain  to  be  elected  in  1922  a  Con- 
gress that  will  say  with  the  great  British 
statesman  Lord  Fisher,  "That  nation  which 
employs  the  best  teachers  with  the  highest  pay 
and  as  a  part  of  the  best  school  system  will 
be  the  best  governed  and  therefore  the 
greatest  Nation." 

A  professional  spirit  which  can  realize 
such  programs  as  these  and  which  can  sweep 
one-fourth  of  the  teachers  of  the  Nation  into 
summer  schools — as  it  did  during  the  sum- 
mer of  1921 — must  mean  broader  interests 
and  a  higher  intellectual  level  among  teach- 
ers generally.  This  in  turn  must  react  upon 
the  communities  where  the  teachers  work  and 
upon  the  children  who  daily  come  under  their 
inspiration  and  direction. 

The  third  point — the  growing  public  demand 


February  18,  1922

for  education  —  is  really  implied  in  the  other 
two.  They  are  all  merely  evidences  of  a 
renaissance  in  education  which  is  stirring 
society  to  its  depths  —  a  renaissance  which 
must  rally  to  its  support  the  thinking  men 
and  women  of  the  civilized  world.  In  America 
there  are  evidences  of  this  new  Taith  on  every 
hand.  It  finds  expression  in  the  great  crowds 
of  students  that  have  overflowed  the  high 
schools  of  every  city  in  the  land.  It  is  re- 
vealed by  enrolments  that  have  exceeded  the 
capacities  of  colleges  and  universites.  It  is 
made  plain  by  the  increased  space  which 
newspapers  and  magazines  are  giving  educa- 
tion and  by  a  vigor  of  editorial  emphasis  and 
constructive  criticism  unknown  in  days  gone 
by.  The  new  faith  in  education  is  con- 
vincingly evident  in  the  determination  of  the 
best  citizens  that  in  spite  of  the  present  eco- 
nomic stress,  the  work  of  public  education 


shall  not  be  crippled  for  want  of  funds.  The 
new  faith  in  education  is  registered  in  the 
halls  of  Congress  and  in  the  attitude  of  the 
administration  at  Washington.  Education  is 
now  a  world  power — recognized,  respected, 
and  relied  upon.  The  conference  at  Washing- 
ton is  itself  a  memorial  to  the  influence  of 
free  public  education  and  it  may  well  be  that 
the  greatest  achievement  of  the  conference  is 
not  written  in  any  of  the  treaties  or  pacfs 
that  it  has  produced,  but  in  the  awakening 
consciousness  of  the  leaders  of  the  nations 
that  the  world  can  go  no  faster  and  no 
further  than  is  made  possible  by  the  education 
of  the  great  mass  of  mankind.  In  that  edu- 
cation the  printed  page  is  certain  to  play  a 
larger  and  larger  part.  May  I  congratulate 
the  publishers  of  America  upon  the  command- 
ing opportunity  that  is  theirs  to  carry  on  the 
good  work.

Booksellers  Act  on  Tariff 


THAT  the  booksellers  are  in  earnest  in  their 
endeavor    to    do  everything     possible     to 
prevent  the  enactment  in  its  present   form 
of  the  book  schedules  in  the  Fordney  tariff  is 
indicated  by  the  letter  which  has  been  sent  out 
by  President  Eugene  L.  Herr  of  the  American 
Booksellers'  Association  to  its  500  members. 

Mr.  Herr  makes  the  suggestion  that  every 
bookseller  "should  not  only  write  to  Washington 
but,  more  important  still,  should  see  that  the 
local  paper  discusses  the  situation  in  the  fol- 
lowing letter  to  the  trade : 
Dear  Fellow-Bookseller: 

Word  has  just  reached  us  that  the  book 
schedules  in  the  Fordney  Tariff  Bill  (H.  R. 
7456),  will  come  up  before  the  committee  for 
final  action  between  March  1st  and  15th. 
Whatever  can  be  done  to  alleviate  the  pro- 
posed schedules  must  be  done  in  the  next  two 
weeks. 

The  position  of  the  book-trade  has  been  pre- 
sented by  Charles  E.  Butler  in  his  state- 
ment last  September,  and  before  the  Senate 
Finance  Committee  in  December  by  John 
McCrae,  Charles  E.  Lauriat,  Jr.,  and  Dr. 
M.  L.  Raney. 

Your  attention  is  directed  to  an  article  ap- 
pearing in  the  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY  of  Feb- 
ruary nth,  and  the  Bookseller  and  Stationer  of 
February  I5th  entitled,  "Act  Now  for  a  Just 
Tariff  on  Books"  and  to  the  seven  points  out- 
lined wherein  the  bill  should  be  revised. 

It  is  suggested  that  booksellers  all  over  the 
country  endeavor  to  have  articles  or  editorials 
appear  in  local  papers,  presenting  these  points 
and  that  copies  of  these  articles  be  forwarded 
to  the  chairmen  of  the  Senate  and  House  Com- 
mittees. Also  that  you  write  the  member  of 
Congress  from  your  district  and  the  Senators 
from  your  state  protesting  against  the  proposed 
duties  and  regulations. 

Will  you  not  co-operate  with  the  book-trade 
of  the  country  in  endeavoring  to  correct   the 
proposed  (backward  step  in  tariff  legislation  by 
acting  promptly  on  these  suggestions? 
Cordially  yours, 

Eugene   L.   Herr,   President. 

Charles  E.  Butler,  treasurer  of  Brentano's, 
and  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trade  of  the 
American  Booksellers'  Association,  makes  the 
following  comment  on  the  situation.  Bren- 
tano's business,  covering  as  it  does  old  books, 
foreign  books,  and  general  publishing,  gives 
Mr.  Butler's  comment  especial  weight. 

New  York  City,  February  I4th,  1022. 
Editor,  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY  : 

The  all-important  matter  of  interest  to  the 
book  world  is,  what  is  Congress  going  to  do 


with  the  Fordney  Tariff  Bill,  especially  that 
part  relating  to  books  ?  There  can  be  no  doubt 
as  to  the  harmful  effect  its  passage,  as  now 
proposed,  would  have  on  books,  reading  and 
education.  No  tariff  whatever  should  be  placed 
on  foreign  books  or  books  twenty  years  old, 
and  it  were  better  if  the  tariff  was  not  increased 
on  current  English  books.  The  gain  to  the 
United  States  in  money  by  this  taxation  would 
be  so  insignificant,  that  surely  it  would  not 
warrant  the  inflicting  of  all  the  harm  its  en- 
forcement would  bring  about. 

The  worst  evil  of  the  bill  is  the  American 
Valuation  plan  of  assessing  the  duty.  It  is 
intolerable,  impossible  and  unjust,  for  it  com- 
pels the  public  to  pay  double  duty  or  more  as 
it  may  please  the  appraiser  to  assess — we  have 
challenged  the  members  of  the  Committee  to 
refute  this  statement,  and  we  repeat  it.  It 
cannot  be  done.  Consider  the  poor  appraiser 
upon  whom  the  impossible  task  is  imposed.  Con- 
sider also  the  everlasting  war  he  will  be  en- 
gaged in  with  the  importer,  thus  converting 
the  calm  serenity  of  the  Custom  House  hereto- 
fore prevailing,  into  a  seething  cauldron  of  a 
perpetual  fight  for  price  elevation  and  for 
price  reduction. 

Charles  E.  Butler,  Chairman. 

The  following  changes  in  the  book  schedules 
are  those  urgently  recommended: 

1.  The  duty  on  all  books  bound  or  unbound 
except  such  as  may  be  otherwise  provided  for 
should    not    be    more    than    20%    ad    valorem 
based  on  cost  price  to  importer  in  country  of 
exportation    (Par.    1310.) 

2.  Children's  toy  books  should  be  protected 
under  toys   (Par.  1414)  with  clarified  descrip- 
tion of  what   constitutes  a  toy  book  and  the 
40%   duty  as  proposed. 

3.  Books    should    be    specifically    exempted 
from  American  Valuation  appraisement    (Sec. 
402)  as  being  impractical  to  apply  and  unneces- 
sary for'  adequate  protection  of  this  American 
industry. 

4.  Books   over  20  years  old  should  be   re- 
instated on  the  Free  List.     (Par.  1529.) 

5.  Books  in  foreign  languages  should  be  re- 
instated on  the  Free  List.     (Par.   1529.) 

6.  Libraries     and     educational     institutions 
should  be  given  the  same  duty  free  privilege  as 
before.    That  is  "all  textbooks  used  in  schools 
and  educational  institutions"    (Par.   1530)    and 
"not  to  exceed  two  in  any  one  invoice  for  lib- 
raries."   (Par.   .'53 1.) 

7.  The    libraries    of    families    from    other 
countries  should  be  duty  free  without  the  limita- 
tion of  $250.     (Par.  1532.)

The  Successful  Rental  Library 

By  Marion  Humble 

Part  II — Continued  (from  February  4th) 


Records    of    Borrowers 

Two  records  must  be  kept  in  the  rental 
library  to  enable  the  librarian  to  know  what 
books  are  out,  who  has  them,  where  to  send 
for  them  if  overdue;  a  Record  of  Borrowers 
and  a  Record  of  Books  Borrowed.  These  re- 
cords are  best  kept  on  cards.  A  registration 
card  is  needed  for  each  borrower,  showing 
name,  address,  business  address  if  any,  date 
of  application  for  rental  privilege,  and  amount 
of  deposit,  if  one  is  required,  telephone  num- 
ber if  useful.  These  cards  should  be  arranged 
alphabetically  by  last  name  of  borrower.  Ad- 
dresses should  be  kept  up-to-date.  Note  of 
fines  unpaid  and  books  not  returned  can  be 
placed  on  this  permanent  record,  and  a  bor- 
rower's privileges  withdrawn  if  he  abuses 
them. 

Records   of    Books   Borrowed 

The  record  of  books  demands  a  card  made 
for  each  book,  showing  author,  title,  copy  num- 
ber, accession  number  if  used.  The  card  should 
be  ruled  in  three  columns  in  which  are  to  be 
entered :  ( i )  name  of  borrower,  (2)  date  taken, 
(3)  amount  paid  on  return. 

The  third  entry  is  made  when  the  book  is 
returned.  A  4x6"  or  5x8"  card  is  practicable. 
These  cards  are  kept  in  a  file  "Books  In"  until 
wanted.  When  a  borrower  selects  a  book  and 
brings  it  to  the  desk  for  record,  the  card  for 


that  book  as  taken  from  the  file,  the  entries  of 
name  of  borrower  and  date  taken  made,  the 
date  taken  is  entered  in  the  book  for  the  bor- 
rower's information,  and  the  card  is  placed  in 
a  second  file,  "Books  Out."  When  the  book  is 
returned,  the  card  is  found  in  this  file,  the 
amount  paid  entered  on  the  card,  the  card  re- 
turned to  the  "Books  In"  file,  and  the  book  re- 
turned to  the  shelves. 

The  file  of  cards  "Books  In"  should  be  kept 
in  alphabetical  arrangement  by  title  (or  by 
author  if  this  seems  easier  to  the  librarian) . 
The  file  of  cards  "Books  Out"  is  best  kept  in 
chronological  arrangement  by  date  of  month; 
as  each  book  returned  is  stamped  with-  date  of 
borrowing  its  card  is  easily  found.  Books 
longest  out  will  automatically  come  to  the  front 
of  the  file,  and  notices  can  be  sent  when  the 
books  are  overdue.  Date  guides  can  be  ob- 
tained from  office  supply  firms.  "Books  Out" 
cards  may  be  kept  alphabetically  if  preferred 
tho  there  is  advantage  in  the  chronological  sys- 
tem when  watching  for  or  following  up  over- 
due books. 

An  "Overdue"  guide  in  the  file  should  indi- 
cate cards  for  which  notices  have  been  sent. 
Overdue  notices  should  be  sent  out  each  day, 
for  books  that  have  been  out  a  month.  These 
should  be  postcard  notices,  worded  somewhat 
as  follows:

New  Books  ....Rental  Library 

Added  Weekly  

Three  Cents     Per  Day.  (address) 

If  no  answer  is  received  to  this  notice,  a  per- 
sonal letter  with  enclosed  bill  should  be  sent  at 
the  end  of  a  week,  the  letter  reading  somewhat 
as  follows: 

Dear  Sir: 

We  are  enclosing  a  statement  showing 
your  account  with  the  rental  library  to 
date.  You  may  perhaps  have  overlooked 
the  book  borrowed  five  weeks  ago, 

(name  of  book) 

or  you  may  have  decided  that  you  would 
like  to  keep  it. 

Enclosed  also  is  a  list  of  some  of  the 
new  books  just  received.  The  titles 
checked  have  been  added  to  the  rental 
library.  You  will  surely  be  interested 
in  looking  over  these  books  when  con- 
venient. 

Very  truly  yours, 

The  enclosed  statement  should  include:

Borrowers'  Obligation 

The  required  amounts  of  payment,  whether 
deposits  or  payments  per  week  or  per  day,  and 
the  matter  of  overdue  notices  should  be  ex- 
plained to  a  borrower  taking  his  first  book. 
There  should  be  no  "rules  and  regulations"  to 
irritate  borrowers ;  the  taking  of  books  must  be 
made  an  altogether  pleasant  and  agreeable  oper- 
ation. If  the  date  of  taking  a  book  is  always 
placed  in  the  book,  and  it  is  understood  by  the 
borrower,  he  can  always  tell  how  long  he  has 
had  the  book  and  how  much  he  owes.  The 
postcard  reminder  and  letter  will  call  attention 
to  this,  if  kept  over  a  month,  and  offers  him  the 
alternative  of  sending  a  check  for  the  book  if  he 
does  not  want  to  return  it. 

A  statement  about  rates  can  be  printed  on  the 
flap  of  the  paper  wrapper.  Borrowers  dislike 
to  be  bothered  with  cards  or  booklets  of  rules 
and  the  wrapper  is  the  simplest  means  of  carry- 
ing this  information  with  every  book. 

Such  instructions  as  "Please  do  not  remove 
this  cover,"  "Members  are  not  allowed  to  lend 


books  except  to  their  own  family,"  "Books  with 
pages  torn  cannot  be  returned  and  must  be  paid 
for"  are  unnecessary  if  the  borrower  under- 
stands in  the  beginning  that  he  is  responsible  for 
books  taken.  The  borrowing  and  buying  of 
books  must  be  made  as  attractive  as  possible. 
The  thought  of  rules  and  penalties  and  prohi- 
bitions should  be  left  out. 

The   Used   Books 

One  of  the  best  means  of  insuring  care  of 
books  iby  borrowers  is  to  rejuvenate  the  shelves 
continuously  by  withdrawing  all  shabby  vol- 
umes, by  cleaning  with  soft  eraser  or  art  gum 
those  that  are  slightly  soiled  but  good  for  fur- 
ther use,,  and  by  steadily  adding  new  volumes. 
Books  in  good  condition  are  apt  to  receive  better 
treatment  than  torn  and  dirty  ones.  The  li- 
brarian should  mend  torn  pages  and  backs  with 
mending  tissue  and  book  cloth  strips. 

Books  withdrawn  still  have  value,  and  means 
should  be  found  to  supply  a  market  for  them. 
A  $2.00  novel  which  has  been  bought  for  $1.30 
or  charged  to  the  Rental  Library  by  the  book 
department  on  a  basis  allowing  for  handling 
expense,  should  ordSnarily  circulate  for  four 
months  at  least.  If  it  is  rented  for  eighty  per 
cent  of  this  time  at  three  cents  a  day,  the 
receipts  are  about  $3.00.  This  can  then  be  sold 
to  the  sales  department  of  the  shop  at  about 
twenty  cents,  bringing  its  income  up  to  $3.20 
and  a  margin  over  cost  of  from  $1.70  to  $1.00. 
From  this  of  course  the  expenses  of  the  library 
are  to  be  deducted  before  a  net  profit  can  be 
arrived  at.  ,• 

The  sales  department  can  sell  the  book  at 
prices  va'ying  according  to  the  book's  condi- 
tion. Often  books  are  sold  at  three  for  a  dol- 
lar. Some  stores  sell  them  up  to  $1.50  each, 
when  in  very  good  condition,  and  used  but  a 
few  times.  They  can  be  placed  on  sale  in  the 
store,  or  sold  to  public  libraries,  which  are  glad 
to  get  additional  copies  of  popular  books  at  low 
cost. 

Administration 
The  Librarian. 

The  librarian  should  be  as  keen  a  salesman 
as  there  is  in  the  store — with  a  first  hand  knowl- 
edge of  most  of  the  books  in  the  library,  with  a 
readiness  to  talk  interestingly  about  all  of  them 
and  about  reviewers'  opinions  of  them.  She 
must  be  up-to-date  daily  with  local  advertise- 
ments and  reviews,  and  be  ready  to  meet  the 
demand  that  these  notices;  create.  Newspaper  and 
magazine  notices  of  books  send  people  into  the 
bookstores,  and  the  librarian  should  have  read 
the  notice  before  the  patron  arrives  at  the  store. 
She  must  also  know  former  books  by  the  authors 
included  in  the  rental  collection,  and  announce- 
ments of  books  they  are  writing.  And  she 
ought  to  talk  books  so  effectively  that  she  will

not  only   increase    book   borrowing,    but    book 
buying. 

Arrangement  of  Library. 

Rental  books  should  be  grouped  by  subject 
on  the  shelves,  with  plainly  printed  labels: 
Romance,  Adventure,  Western  Stories,  Detec- 
tive Stories,  Short  Stories,  etc.  The  librarian 
should  be  able  to  recommend  books  in  groups, 
that  is,  to  be  ready  always  with  suggestion  of  a 
book  to  read  next,  if  a  borrower  wants  the  sug- 
gestion. She  should  sense  also  the  borrower 
who  does  not  relish  advice. 

A  bulletin  board  with  mounted  book  covers, 
book  reviews,  newspaper  advertisements,  brief 
lists  by  subject  or  author,  will  help  people  in 
selection.  A  table  of  lists  and  publishers'  an- 
nouncements will  interest  borrowers  and  con- 
tribute to  sales  as  well  as  to  library  patronage. 
If  the  brief  description  found  on  the  jacket  of 
a  book  is  pasted  inside  it  will  greatly  help  the 
customers  in  their  selections. 

If  there  is  room,  a  couple  of  tables  and  some 
chairs  will  add  to  the  enjoyment  of  the  library 
by  borrowers  who  are  not  in  a  hurry  and  who 
want  to  look  over  several  books  before  choos- 
ing. 

Salaries. 

One  librarian  can  probably  carry  the  work  at 
the  start  of  the  library,  if  someone  can  be  de- 
tailed from  the  sales  force  for  her  relief  at 
lunch  hour,  and  if  she  can  make  occasional  use 
of  the  office  force  for  typing  of  lists,  letters, 
etc.  Such  extra  help  supplied  by  the  store 
should  be  charged  to  the  library,  as  should  the 
librarian's  salary.  TMs  salary  should  be  equal 
to  that  of  the  other  competent  salesmen  in  the 
store,  because  the  librarian  must  be  a  salesman. 
A  good  person  to  take  charge  of  a  rental  library 
can  sometimes  be  obtained  from  the  local  public 
library  and  taught  the  commercial  end  of  book 
distribution.  Rental  libraries  managed  in  the 
spare  time  of  a  salesman  covering  other  duties 
are  seldom  a  great  success.  It  is  better  to  get 
solidly  behind  the  library  until  it  is  active 
enough  to  justify  a  full  time  librarian  to  carry 
on  the  work  independently. 

Publicity 

The  library  will  need  newspaper  advertising 
when  started.  An  attractive  ad  placed  in  the 
daily  papers  which  are  read  by  the  desired 
clientele,  will  bring  best  results.  A  printed  slip 
placed  in  store  packages  sent  out  during  the 
week  previous  to  opening  will  be  effective.  A 
large  lettered  sign  hung  over  the  library  alcove 
will  be  useful  as  a  guide.  A  neat  glass  sign 
should  always  be  in  the  window  with  the  other 
displays.  A  bright  paper  wrapper  for  the 
books  will  advertise  the  library  wherever  they 
are  carried.  Many  libraries  run  a  small  adver- 
tisement in  local  papers  once  a  week,  Saturday 


morning  for  week-end  borrowers,  or  the  Sunday 
edition  for  general  promotion.  Such  ads  and 
the  repetition  of  the  printed  slip  in  store  pack- 
ages every  few  months  are  good  investments 
for  the  circulating  library. 

Rental  library  borrowers  are  usually  steady 
customers  when  the  habit  is  established,  but 
there  must  be  a  constant  adding  to  the  list  of 
users  if  the  volume  of  business  is  to  be  main- 
tained and  increased.  No  month  should  pass 
without  some  newly  conceived  promotion.  The 
librarian  thru  analysis  of  the  sources  of  her 
trade  will  be  able  to  make  good  suggestions  for 
the  best  directions  for  new  canvass.  Women 
are  usually  heaviest  borrowers,  as  public  librar- 
ies also  show.  Business  women  and  girls  in 
offices  find  it  easy  to  drop  in  at  noon  for  books. 
Women  in  apartments  and  hotels  where  house- 
keeping problems  are  simpler,  of  ten  have  more 
time  for  reading  than  householders.  Estab- 
lished borrowers  are  often  glad  to  suggest 
names  of  possible  new  subscribers. 

It  will  be  found  that  by  meeting  with  ade- 
quate supply  the  demand  for  the  most  talked  of 
books  of  the  moment,  new  readers  will  become 
interested  in  the  promptness  of  the  rental 
library  service.  The  rental  library  should 
not  be  considered  as  a  competitor  to  the 
public  library,  but  supplementary  to  it. 
Xo  public  library  is  able  to  meet  adequately 
from  its  yearly  budget  the  entire  new  book  in- 
terest of  its  community.  The  public  library  is 
glad  to  see  other  agencies  at  work  in  the  field  of 
book  promotion. 

The  Buying  of  Books 

«¥  HAVE  always  felt  that  it  was  commend- 
1  ab1.e  to  buy  books,"  says  Dr.  Carl  S.  Patton, 
pastor  of  the  First  Congregational  Church  in 
Los  Angeles,  writing  in  the  February  Atlantic. 
"I  grew  up  with  a  liking  for  reading  my  own 
books  instead  of  someone  else's.  This  prefer- 
ence I  still  have.  I  have  my  books  strictly  for 
use.  I  turn  down  the  pages.  I  even  tear  out  a 
few,  if  I  need  them.  Books  that  I  really  use 
are  much  the  worse  for  wear  when  I  get 
through  with  them.  I  always  mark  them. 
When  I  read  one  of  them  a  second  time,  which 
I  seldom  do,  I  generally  can't  remember  what  I 
meant  by  the  marks  I  put  in  it  the  first  time. 
But  it  gives  you  a  feeling  of  having  dug  deep 
into  the  book,  and  it  intensifies  your  sense  of 
the  ownership  of  it,  to  make  big  black  marks 
down  the  side  of  it  as  you  read.  So  I  have 
always  felt  that  one  should  buy  as  many  books 
as  possible.  They  are  not  like  food,  of  which 
one  should  buy  only  as  much  as  one  can  con- 
sume at  the  moment.  Nor  like  clothes,  of 
which  a  wise  man  will  buy  as  few  and  as  cheap 
as  he  can  get  by  with.  But  of  books  he  should 
'btiv  all  he  can."

English  Book-trade  News 

(From  Our  London  Correspondent) 

CESSATION !  In  other  words,  there  has 
come  a  calm,  as  is  always  the  case,  after 
the  holiday  season.  As,  of  course,  is  quite 
understood,  this  doesn't  mean  that  nothing  is 
happening.  There  is  a  good  deal  happening. 
Most  publishers  and  booksellers  are  taking 
stock,  shutting  up  for  the  day,  and  then  look- 
ing for  the  profit.  On  the  whole,  we  think  it 
will  be  found,  not  as  it  was  in  pre-war  days, 
surely,  but  still  there  is  a  profit.  There  were 
naturally  many  grumbles  that  business  was 
bad,  that  no  one  bought  books  nowadays,  that 
ends  would  not  meet,  and  that  some  other  kind 
of  merchandise  for  profit  must  be  sought. 
Granted  that  a  man  has  to  work  hard  to  make 
money  in  these  times — but  why  not?  It's  al- 
ways good  to  make  effort,  for  it  stimulates 
invention.  And  no  one  has  the  right  to  be 
idle  in  these  days  of  reconstruction.  It  is  our 
duty  to  double  the  output,  even  tho  the  return 
is,  in  proportion,  much  less. 

You  can  not  have  a  war  on  the  recent  scale 
and  expect  to  escape  the  consequences  in  a 
couple  of  years.  It  is  next  to  amazing  that 
things  are  so  quickly  putting  themselves  right. 
Look  at  book-making.  Let  us  not  be  impulsive 
in  our  optimism,  but  let  us  face  the  facts 
squarely.  Practically  every  item  in  the  making 
of  a  book  has  "eased."  It  is  agreed  that  the 
difference  is  hardly  enough  to  begin  to  make 
lower  published  prices,  yet  some  publishers 
have  commenced  doing  so,  but  only  in  very 
special  lines.  If  the  trend  in  materials  is  still 
downward  in  1922,  by  the  fall,  there  ought 
to  be  some  lowering  worth  noticing.  We  still 
maintain,  however,  that  books  are  not,  by  any 
means,  too  dear.  As  before  said,  the  book 
buying  public,  whatever  that  may  mean,  has 
been  badly  educated  in  this  direction.  Com- 
petition has  given  them  books  at  half  (or  less 
than  half)  their  real  market  value — hence  the 
persistent  kicks  that  books  are  too  dear.  And, 
in  spite  of  the  absolute  facts  that  during  the 
period  of  very  high  costs  of  production  it 
was  impossible  to  publish  books  at  pre-war 
figures,  there  were  thousands  of  people  who 
said  that  not  only  were  books  unfairly  high 
priced  but  that  publishers  and  booksellers 
were  profiteers.  This  was  said,  too,  by  those 
who  knew  better. 

Even  so,  people  are  buying  books  and  buy- 
ing well.  If  this  keeps  up,  and  is  stimulated, 
or  maintained,  by  intelligent  propaganda  thru 
trade,  literary  and  other  kindred  organizations, 
there  is  no  reason  with  the  advent  of  lower 
published  prices  why  there  should  not  be  a 
new  boom,  and  a  big  one  to  boot,  in  books. 
But  there  must  be  a  coordinated  policy,  a  team 


effort  which  will  make  for  such  a  compre- 
hensive push  forward  as  to  bring  home  to  the 
public  that  a  book  is  in  its  way  as  essential 
to  life  as  a  loaf  of  bread. 

There  is  to  be  a  British  Empire  Exhibi- 
tion in  1923  in  London.  The  King  of  Eng- 
land is  to  be  patron,  and  big  efforts  will  be 
made  to  bring  it  to  a  tremendous  success. 
The  British  government  and  Dominion  and 
Colonial  Governments  will  take  part.  There 
is  to  be  a  section  devoted  to  the  education, 
science  and  art  of  the  British  Empire,  in 
which  books  will  be  an  important  feature. 
A  guarantee  fund  of  $5,000,000  is  being 
raised.  The  government  is  giving  $5oo>ooo. 
English  publishers  are  being  asked  to  take 
some  share  in  this  guarantee. 

On  removing  a  loose  cloth  cover  from  a 
folio  Bible,  which  he  purchased  at  an  auction 
for  2s.  a  Baintree  resident  (writes  a  Star 
correspondent)  found  it  was  bound  in  red 
morocco  bearing  eight  panels  and  the  ciphers 
of  William  and  Mary,  and  the  date  1685. 

A  Bible  was  presented  from  Oxford  to 
William  and  Mary,  and  it  is  believed  this  is 
the  identical  one.  The  British  Museum  au- 
thorities do  not  possess  a  copy  of  that  reign, 
and  have  asked  that  the  Bible  be  presented  to 
the  national  collection. 


Booklegging 

«pOOKLEGGING  for  revenue  is  the  latest 
Dgame,"  says  a  New  York  correspondent 
of  the  Philadelphia  Public  Ledger.  'What  is 
'booklegging?'  It  is  the  business  of  selling  the 
kind  of  a  book  one  wants  to  read,  despite  the 
interdictions  of  those  who  would  be  our  moral 
guardians.  We  all  know  that  tootlegging'  is 
the  business  of  selling  that  which  is  prescribed, 
but  the  'bookleggers'  are  quite  a  different  sort  in 
that  they  have  wares,  the  attempted  banning  of 
which  is  still  an  open  question 

"Much  of  this  hidden  literature  comes  from 
abroad.  Right  now  the  literary  cult  is  eagerly 
awaiting  the  running  of  the  United  States  cus- 
toms blockade  by  'Ulysses,'  the  work  of  James 
Joyce,  which  has  recently  been  printed  in  Paris. 
It  began  as  a  serial  in  one  of  our  magazines 
and  was  stopped.  Now  it  comes  overseas  com- 
plete as  a  book,  and  its  *booklegging'  price  is 
bound  to  be  high,  very  high'.' 

"Some  years  ago  the  son  of  a  Wall  street 
financier  got  behind  'Casanova's  Memoirs,'  and 
it  was  secretly  done  in  twelve  volumes  from  a 
Pittsburgh  printery.  Exactly  750  sets  were 
made,  selling  to  a  select  list  at  $125  each.  It 
was  handled  en  camera,  and  its  'booklegging' 
price  today  is  sky  high.  Some  have  been  sold 
at  one  grand  ($1000.) 


February  18,  1922

"George  Moore,  the  Englishman,  has  written 
a  number  of  books  that  are  most  difficult  to 
obtain  in  America.  His  'Story  Teller's  Holi- 
day' is  considered  cheap  at  $50  from  a  'book- 
legger.'  His  'Heloise  and  Abelard'  in  two  vol- 
umes and  'Avowals'  command  fancy  prices,  and 
are  also  hard  to  get  hold  of.  Schnitzler's 'Casa- 
nova's Homecoming'  and  'Reigen'  are  among 
the  'bookleggers'  best  sellers.  Other  books  that 
have  'booklegger'  value  include  James  Gibson 
Huneker's  'Painted  Veils,'  'The  Epigrams 
of  Martial,'  and  James  Branch  Cabell's  'Jur- 
gen,'  'The  Art  of  Love,'  written  by 
a  Boston  physician,  which  suddenly  van- 
ished when  the  demand  for  it  was  at  its  height, 
is  now  being  extensively  'booklegged'  in  the 
metropolis. 

"A  movement  is  on  for  the  formation  of  an 
organization  to  be  known  as  the  Society  for 
the  Suppression  of  Oppression  in  Literature. 
The  claim  is  advanced  that  some  of  the  books 
one  cannot  get  are  held  away  from  readers  for 
as  little  as  one  or  two  pages,  which  come  un- 
der the  official  ban.  Notwithstanding  the  po- 
sition of  those  who  would  open  the  doors  and 
relieve  the  pressure  exerted  by  the  'bookleggers,' 
the  fact  remains  that  much  that  has  been  pro- 
scribed is  really  unfit  for  general  consumption.'' 

International   Book  Fair 

IT    is  planned  to  hold  at  Florence,   Italy,  in 
the  Spring  of  1922  a  great  fair  for  the  ex- 
hibition and  sale  of  books,  under  the  auspices 
of  the  "Associazione  Editoriale  Libraria  Ital- 
iana"  and  with  the  cooperation  of  the  "Fon- 
dazione    Leonardo    per    la    Cultura    Italiana," 
•writes  W.  Roderick  Dorsey,  American  consul 
at  Florence,  Italy. 

The  purposes  of  the  fair  are  to  promote 
among  nations  a  reciprocal  and  direct  knowl- 
edge of  books ;  to  exhibit  to  foreigners  Italian 
typographical  and  editorial  activities ;  to  fa- 
cilitate international  trade  in  books  and  the  ex- 
change of  translations;  to  restore  the  definite 
national  character  of  the  typographic  art  and 
of  the  decoration  of  books;  to  honor  the  book 
in  every  way  as  the  most  powerful  and  most 
rapdd  vehicle  of  culture  and  humanity. 

The  sale  of  books  is  the  principal  and  most 
immediate  purpose  of  this  Fair  in  which  the 
publishers  and  creators  in  all  countries  are  in- 
vited to  exhibit  productions. 

Books  exhibited  may  be  sold  on  condition 
that  another  copy  be  immediately  substituted. 
Exhibits  will  be  grouped  according  to  country. 
In  addition  to  books,  publishers  will  have  the 
privilege  of  displaying  music,  maps  ant]  ar- 
ticles used  for  educational  purposes. 

In  connection  with  this  Fair  there  will  also 
be  an  exhibit  of  antiquities,  reserved  for  deal- 
ers in  ancient  books  who  wish  to  place  precious 
manuscripts  and  other  rare  works  on  sale.  Tn 


this  section  the  offerings  must  be  confined  to 
objects  of  real  bibliographic  importance. 

There  will  also  be  several  special  exhibits, 
among  which  will  be  the  following: 

(a) — Illustrations  and  decorations  of  books 
;n  which  will  figure  volumes  printed,  and  il- 
lustrated by  any  system,  as  well  as  original 
drawings  designed  as  illustrations  for  books ; 

(b)— Bindings,  with  a  historic  and  retro- 
spective division.  In  the  modern  section  the 
participation  will  be  encouraged  not  only  of 
'binders  who  offer  artistic  specimens,  but  also 
of  workmen  and  publishers  who  present  plainer 
types  of  bindings; 

(c) — Posters,  with  competitions  and  prizes. 
There  will  also  be  a  section  in  which  will  be 
displayed  various  types  of  advertising,  applic- 
able to  the  commerce  and  industry  of  books, 
even  if  not  artistic  or  for  placing  on  walls;

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Over  the  Book  Counter 

By  Irving  Allen 


IF  a  publisher  must  be  an  expert  on  the  tastes 
and  interests  of  the  reading  public,  no  less 
must  the  clerk  in  the  retail  store  have  a  keen 
understanding  of  a  book  buyer's  nature,  if  he  is 
to  co-operate  with  the  publisher,  and  bring  the 
booksellir"-  business  to  the  level  of  a  profes- 
sion. Too  little  attention  has  been  paid  as  yet 
in  this  country  to  the  training  of  people  for 
the  retail  book  business.  I  like  to  think  of  the 
bookman  as  having  a  singularly  important  influ- 
ence in  the  community,  equal  to  that  of  the 
librarian  or  the  teacher,  because  he  has  the 
opportunity  of  guiding  reading  tastes,  stimulat- 
ing already  curious  minds,  and  he  labors  under 
no  constraint  save  his  own  good  will  and  judg- 
ment. There  are  a  few  such  persons  scattered 
at  rare  intervals  thruout  the  nation,  or  gathered 
in  our  metropolitan  centers. 

When  the  book  clerk  offers  to  his  prospective 
buyer  "The  Triumph  of  the  Egg"  with  the  re- 
mark that  it  is  a  bunch  of  good  essays,  or  ex- 
plains that  "Erik  Dorn"  is  similar  to  "The 
Sheik,"  store,  publisher,  clerk,  and  customer  all 
suffer.  And  ^these  are  not  exceptional  examples 
of  the  crudities  to  be  found  in  many  retail 
stores  or  book  departments.  The  selection  and 
purchase  of  a  book  is  a  psychological  process 
so  complex  that  such  efforts  at  selling  are  not 
to  be  wondered  at.  An  analysis  of  the  many 
important  factors  of  the  book  buying  process 
could  not  be  attempted  in  a  short  space,  but 
some  aspects  may  be  indicated. 

Too  often  the  popular  methods  of  retail  sales- 
manship fail  in  a  book  store.  The  little  methods 
of  supposed  cleverness  (courtesy  and  friend- 
liness are  necessary  in  any  human  relation)  are 
inapplicable,  because  individual  tastes  and  the 
conceit  of  them  are  powerful  elements  in  the 
book  buyer's  mind.  The  browser,  the  looker, 
the  half -educated,  the  "read  everything"  are  all 
to  be  handled  skillfully  and  individually.  The 
real  bookseller  has  distinct  but  not  dogmatic 
tastes,  and  tries  to  discover  his  customer's  in- 


terests, not  to  impose  his  own  upon  the  other. 
No  one  expects  the  generaPbookman  to  have 
read  all  the  titles  he  has  on  sale,  but  it  does 
not  take  long  to  acquire  a  reasonable  familiar- 
ity with  books,  and  this  combined  with  sin- 
cerity and  an  avoidance  of  wooden  phrases 
like  "wonderful"  and  "worth-while"  will  bring 
a  customer's  confidence  and  business. 

There  are  whole  groups  of  potential  book- 
buyer,s.  among  the  intellectually  eager  who  will 
swell  the  profits  of  any  store  once  their  read- 
ing is  made  to  seem  important  and  its  necessity 
a  challenge  to  the  intelligence.  No  one  has  a 
greater  opportunity  than  the  person  in  a  book 
store  who  actually  meets  the  customer. 

The  publisher  has  screamed  in  the  advertise- 
ments, the  reviewer  has  issued  his  pronuncia- 
miento,  and  all  America  is  talking  about  it,  yet 
it  is  the  clerk  who  guides  the  buyer  to  the  book, 
and  whether  the  customer  can't  see  anything  in 
it,  or  in  turn  becomes  an  enthusiast  matters 
little  to  the  book  trade  if  the  clerk  'has  been 
sincere  and  individual  in  his  opinions. 

New  Class  in  Bookselling 

Ellen  L.  Osgood,  salesmanship  coordinator, 
is  holding  classes  in  bookselling  at  Haaren  High 
School,  New  York.  The  course  consists  of  eight 
lessons  including  every  branch  of  the  work. 
Her  topics  include  "What  books  are  sold  in 
lxx>k  shops  and  department  stores?"  "How  a 
hook  is  made"  (the  work  of  the  author,  manu- 
facturer, editors,  and  illustrators),  "Publishers' 
selling  methods"  (catalogs,  advance  notices 
and  salesmen),  "How  are  books  purchased?" 
(selling  points,  reprints  and  suggestive  selling), 
"History  of  bookmaking."  Among  the  students 
attending  these  classes  are  salespeople  from  the 
various  department  stores  in  New  York,  and 
from  many  of  the  specialized  shops.

Books  Carried  During  Smile  Week 

DURING  National  Smile  Week,  February 
5-12,  a  week  inaugurated  by  Judge  to  build 
up  the  national  morale,  many  booksellers  car- 
ried the  following  books  prominently  displayed

bers of  the  Smile  Week  Committee  mentioned

yer," "Huckleberry  Finn,"  "Tramp  Abroad,"

Roldsby  Legendjs,"  "Two  Men  in  a  Tub,"  "The 
Night  Out,"  "Mrs.  Wiggs  of  the  Cabbage 
Patch."  "The  Adventures  of  Mrs.  Leeks  and

ary Lapses,"  "The  Crock  of  Gold,"  "Scrambled 
Eggs,"  "This  Giddy  Globe,"  "Zuleika  Dobson." 

Typography  by  Mail 

COLUMBIA  UNIVERSITY  has  increased 
its  activity  in  the  teaching  of  typography  by 
planning  a  home  study  course,  directed  by 
James  D.  Gabler.  This  course  begins  for  its 
spring  term  on  February  8th  and  covers  the 
same  material  that  is  given  in  the  University 
course  in  typography,  but  is  available  for  those 
who  cannot  get  to  the  class  room.  A  student 
of  the  home  study  course  is  allowed  a  full  calen- 
dar year  in  which  to  complete  it  and  is  not 
bound  to  any  set  schedule  of  recitation  or  study. 
The  standard  of  work  demanded  is  in  no  way 
lower  than  the  work  demanded  for  those  in 
residence,  tho  it  does  not  carry  academic  credit. 
Work  is  tested  through  correspondence  and 
given  all  possible  attention.  There  is  no  re- 
quirement as  to  previous  academic  work  be- 
fore initiation  into  the  home  study  course,  but 
prospective  students  can  write  to  the  Director  of 
Extension  Teaching  as  to  the  needs.  There  are 
thirty  lessons,  and  the  course  plans  to  teach  the 
origin,  history  and  development  ol  printing  and 
the  allied  lines,  instruction  in  the  preparation  of 
manuscripts,  proof-reading,  selection  of  types, 
ink,  paper,  illustrations,  preparation  of  dummies 
and  visualization  of  finished  work. 

Still  a  Book  a  Week 

AN    attractive   advertisement    of    Frederick 
Loeser  &  Company's  book  department  in 
the  Brooklyn  Eagle  had  the  heading : 

A  BOOK  A  WEEK! 

You  Will  Find  This  a  Methodical  Scheme  to 
Keep    Up    the    River    of    Literature 

Flowing  From  Busy  Pens. 
It  is  very  interesting  to  find!  how  much  con- 
tinuing value  there  has  come  of  last  year's 
emphasis  on  "B"uy  A  Book  A  Week."  Many 
dealers  report  that  there  are  customers  con- 
scientiously keeping  up  this  practice,  not  so 
much;  from  the  dealer's  reiteration  in  his  copy 
as  perhaps  from  the  fact  that  the  idea  was 
sound  and  fitted  in  with  people's  diversional 
and  cultural  needs.  The  original  intention  of 
the  slogan  was  to  emphasize  the  need  of  a 
habit  of  book  buying  rather  than  a  spasmodic 
book  buying  interest.

ing it/' — George  Jean  Nathan. 

The  thermos  bottle  seems  to  me 
A  symbol  far  too  still  and  static 

To  stand  for  critic  artistry, 
Musical,  lit'ry  or  dramatic. 

The  man  of  critical  intent, 

Bent  on  becoming  a  first-rater, 

Should  boast  a  head  ebullient 
And  perky  as  a  percolator; 

A  head  where  inner  warmth  abounds, 
Bubbling  with  notions  self-contained ; 

Brewing,  from  raw  creative  grounds, 
A  product  clarified  and  strained. 

Like  percolators,  more  or  less, 
Your  criticaster  should  react : 

When  critics  blurb,  spill,  effervesce, 

Doubt  not  their  little  domes  are  cracked.

The  Censorship  of  Rabelais 

THE  suit  against  John  G.  Kidd  of  Stewart 
Kidd  Company  of  Cincinnati  for  the  sale 
of  Rabelais  which  was  reported  last  week 
has  caused  widespread  comment  and  editorials. 
Mr.  Kidd  now  reports  that  he  will  not  fight  the 
case  but  has  agreed  with  the  District  Attorney 
to  discontinue  the  sale  of  such  books  as  "De- 
cameron" and  Rabelais,  and  has  also  agreed  to 
destroy  the  plates  and  stock  on  hand  of  the  edi- 
tion of  "Decameron"  which  his  firm  published. 
The  Rabelais  which  had  been  sold  was  not  pub- 
lished by  Stewart  Kidd  but  by  Donohue,  an 
edition  widely  handled  in  the  book-trade.  The 
case  was  brought  by  Mr.  Angiers,  the  Post  Of- 
fice Inspector  and  Western  representative  of  the 
Society  for  the  Suppression  of  Vice.  Stewart 
Kidd  Company  was  brought  into  court  two 
years  ago  in  connection  with  the  publishing  of 
a  thin  paper  edition  of  "Decameron"  which 
contained  the  full  translation  of  all  the  stories. 
At  that  time  their  attorney  stated  for  them  that 
they  would  not  sell  the  "Decameron"  thru  the 
mails  again,  and  this  they  have  ceased  to  do, 
nor  have  they  advertised,  for  business  on  the 
"Decameron."  They  have  had  letters  asking 
for  the  book  but  refused  to  quote.  As  the 
books  have  been  withdrawn  from  sale  and  the 
'store  has  taken  from  its  shelves  all  classics  of 
this  kind,  the  case  does  not  appear  to  be  likely 
to  become  the  occasion  for  a  test  decision  which 
is  much  needed.  The  high  court  in  New  York 
State  gave  the  opinion  some  years  ago  that  in 
the  case  of  classics  of  this  kind  the  selling 
method  was  to  be  judged  and  not  the  book  it- 
self which  had  its  own  recognition  as  litera- 
ture.

All  Educational  Renaissance 

THE  article  by  Joy  Elmer  Morgan  printed 
in  this  issue  was  delivered  as  an  address  be- 
fore the  annual  meeting  in  January  of  the  Na- 
tional Association  of  Book  Publishers  and  made 
a  marked  impression  for  its  vision  and  proph- 
ecies. Some  conception  of  what  is  going  on  in 
the  larger  aspects  of  educational  progress  is  a 
necessary  part  of  the  equipment  of  a  publisher 
today  and  of  the  general  knowledge  of  the  book- 
sellers. Writing  from  the  headquarters  of  the 
American  Library  Association  after  reading  the 
text  of  this  speech,  Sarah  C.  N.  Bogle,  the  As- 
sistant Secretary  said: 

"I  wish  every  library  school  student  could 
have  his  attention  called  to  Mr.  Morgan's  'Edu- 
cational Renaissance  and  the  Book  Publisher' 
as  delivered  before  the  National  Association  of 
Book  Publishers."

Women  as  Writers 

WILLIAM    Ellsworth   writes   in    a   recent 
number   of  the  New  York  Times  Book 
Review: 

"One-quarter  of  all  the  professional  writers 
of  the  country  live  here  in  New  York  and 
Brooklyn — to  be  exact,  461  out  of  1,897.  I  do 
not  include  journalists  or  the  many  college  pro- 
fessors who  write  occasional  books,  but  only 
those  who  are  called  authors  in  Who's  Who. 
Probably  comparatively  few  of  them  were  born 
here,  for  if  a  writer's  locale  is  of  the  mountain 
or  the  sea  or  the  plain,  then  mountain,  sea  or 
plain  must  have  been  the  environment  of  the 
formative  years.  Bret  Harte  continued  to 
write  California  mining  stories  long  after  he 
had  put  that  State  behind  him. 

"Of  these  461  New  York  authors — to  give  a 
little  more  statistical  information — 302  are  men 
and  159  are  women,  and  it  is  likely  that  the 


proportion  holds  good  thruout  the  country. 
About  two-thirds  of  our  authors  are  men  and 
one-third  women ;  and  yet,  in  spite  of  this 
great  number  of  women,  the  American  Acad- 
emy— which  President  Thomas  of  Bryn  Mawr 
has  effectively  dubbed  the  American  Men's 
Academy — has  so  far  considered  only  Julia 
Ward  Howe  as  worthy  of  a  seat  in  its  assem- 
blage. Publishers  and  editors  have  known  for 
years  that  in  one  branch  of  literature — and  a 
very  important  one,  imaginative  literature — 
women  are  doing  as  notable  work  as  men,  and 
have  been  doing  it  for  at  least  a  generation; 
and  I  would  go  so  far  as  to  say  that  if  you 
place  side  by  side  the  names  of  American 
men  and  women  who  are  doing  today  the  best 
work  that  is  being  done  in  fiction,  the  women 
will  outnumber  the  men." 

De  Luxe  Books  in  Paris 

THE  Paris  newspaper  Humanite  says  of 
the  modern  tendency  in  finely  illustrated 
'books : 

"There  are  a  great  many  de  luxe  books 
printed  nowadays.  A  number  of  the  newly 
rich  have  gone  in  for  book  collecting  and  their 
desires  in  this  direction  have  to  be  satisfied  in 
some  way  or  other.  From  this  comes  an  over- 
production of  books  printed  on  beautiful  paper, 
in  types  more  or  less  elegant  or  fantastic  or 
unusual,  and  illustrated  by  engravings.  Rarely 
does  all  this  make  for  an  artistic  whole  such 
as  is  found  in  the  books  of  the  fifteenth  cen- 
tury or,  to  give  more  modern  examples,  in 
those  of  William  Morris  or  Cobden  Sander- 
son. 

"Nevertheless  illustrators  have  learned  some- 
thing in  these  last  few  years.  The  greater  part 
of  them  avoid  imitations  of  paintings  and  try 
to  make  prints  that  will  harmonize  typographi- 
cally with  the  text.  They  are  much  inspired 
'by  models  from  the  past,  often  adding  thereto 
amusing  individual  fancy.  Notable  examples 
of  this  are  the  compositions  of  Daragnes  for 
the  editions  of  the  "Banderole,"  and  those  of 
Le  Breton  for  the  "Cyrano  de  Bergerac"  of 
Rostand. 

"But  the  deep  spiritual  tie  between  the  art- 
ist and  the  author,  the  interpretation  of  a  text 
that  one  has  loved  and  tenderly  dwelt  on,  re- 
mains a  very  rare  thing,  and  it  is  this  that 
makes  one  appreciate  especially  the  beautiful 
drawings  of  Bernard  Naudin  for  Diderot's 
"Neveu  de  Rameau."  With  a  sense  of  humor 
that  recalls  the  old  English  caricaturists,  with 
a  fine  and  witty  pencil,  Bernard  Naudin  has 
reproduced  all  the  wit  of  the  text,  the  pleas- 
ant spirit  of  mocking  observation  of  the  eight- 
eenth century,  sharp  and  good-natured,  fear- 
less, but  not  brutal,  always  full  of  elegant  sub- 
tilities."

Current  Clippings' 

THE  MACMILLAN  Co.  OF  CANADA,  Limited, 
have  assumed  the  exclusive  agency  for  Canada 
for  the  publications  of  Alfred  Knopf,  New 
York,  effective  from  the  first  of  the  year. 

THE  FEBRUARY  issue  of  Mentor  will  contain 
an  article  by  Frederick  O'Brien,  "The  Lure  of 
the  South  Seas/'  which  will  be  accompanied  by 
a  gravure  section. 

MARGOT  ASQUITH,  who  has  been  lecturing 
over  here,  for  the  last  few  weeks,  is  planning 
to  write  a  book  about  America. 

The  books  of  Edward  Howard  Griggs  are 
no\v  published  by  the  Orchard  Hill  Press,  Yon- 
kers,  N.  Y.,  of  which  Alvin  M.  Higgins  is 
manager.  These  books  were  formerly  pub- 
lished by  B.  W.  Huebsch.  The  Orchard  Hill 
Press  also  publishes  the  handbooks  to  courses. 

JUST  ABOUT  a  year  ago,  the  mother  of  Marie 
Bashkirtseff,  died  at  Nice.  She  had  kept  all 
of  her  daughter's  possessions  untouched  since 
Marie  died  in  1884.  It  has  just  'been  found  that 
a  casket  among  Madame  Bashkirtseff's  belong- 
ings contained  a  further  dairy  of  Marie's,  filled 
with  her  scrawling,  nervous,  almost  feverish 
writing. 

THE  Nation  prize  of  one  hundred  dollars,  of- 
fered in  its  annual  poetry  contest,  has  been 
divided  between  two  poems :  "The  Ranch  in 
the  Coulee,"  by  Gwendolen  Haste  of  Billings, 
Montana,  and  "In  Memoriam,"  by  Martin 
Feinstein  of  117  Taylor  Street,  Brooklyn,  New 
York.  "In  Memoriam"  is  a  poem  of  sixteen 
stanzas  which  will  probably  suggest  comparison 
with  "Three  Soldiers." 

THE  AUTHORS'  CLUB  announced  at  its  thirty- 
ninth  annual  meeting  January  26  that  a  large 
majority  of  its  260  members  had  voted  that  the 
•book  of  the  most  enduring  value  to  American 
literature  published  during  1921  was  "The  Col- 
lected Poems  of  Edwin  Arlington  Robinson." 

E.  PHILLIPS  OPPEXHEIM,  author  of  over  sev- 
enty volumes  of  fiction,  has  just  reached  this 
country  or.  the  Adriatic,  his  last  visit  hav- 
ing been  ten  years  ago.  Mr.  Oppenheim  is  ac- 
companied by  his  wife,  who  was  Miss  Elise 
Hopkins  of  Chelsea,  Mass.  He  announces  that 
he  will  not  attempt  any  lectures,  but  his  public 
appearances  will  be  restricted  to  those  on  sev- 
eral golf  courses.  His  publishers  are  announc- 
ing that  his  next  volume  will  be  called  "The 
Great  Prince  Shan"  and  that  it  will  deal  with 
world  politics  in  1934. 


WILLIAM  JEAN  LAVARRE,  of  Richmond,  Vir- 
ginia, has  returned  from  his  third  trip  on  the 
Mazaruni  river  British  Guiana,  and  has 
brought  back  with  him  the  largest  diamond 
ever  discovered  in  North  or  South  America,  a 
thirty  and  one  quarter  caret  stone,  known  as  the 
Kurupung  diamond.  Mr.  Lavarre  will  go  back 
to  the  diamond  country  this  month  for  further 
exploration  of  the  mining  fields.  His  first  book, 
"Up  the  Mazaruni  for  Diamonds,"  describing 
his  initial  trip  in  1917  is  published  by  the  Mar- 
shall Jones  Company,  which  will  have  a  new 
book  from  him  this  spring.  It  will  be  called 
"Drumonds."  Mr.  Lavarre,  so  the  report  goes, 
has  'had  to  have  police  protection  lor  his  jewel. 

THERE  is  a  report  from  Germany,  says  the 
New  York  Times,  that  the  Crown  Prince  will 
publish  a  book  this  year.  In  fact,  if  the  first 
book  is  successful,  it  is  said  that  he  has  mate- 
rial for  a  number  of  books  collected.  The 
Crown  Prince's  first  book  will  deal  with  his 
memoirs  from  birth  to  the  outbreak  of  the 
World  War.  The  second  book  covers  the  pe- 
riod from  the  World  War  to  Wieringen.  Vol- 
ume III  will  cover  everything  since  then  and 
reminiscently  before.  The  Crown  Prince's  first 
book  will  be  published  by  the  Cotta  Publishing 
Company  of  Stuttgart,  which  gained  interna- 
tional notoriety  as  the  publishers  of  Bismarck's 
third  volume.  TMs  first  book  will  be  published 
in  the  late  Spring,  probably  in  April. 

LITERARY  ITALY  is  still  laughing  over  the 
pep  of  Antonio  Quattrini,  who  invented  the  "J. 
P.  Morgan  Award,"  gave  it  to  himself  and  made 
his  book  sell  as  a  curiosity.  In  August  1921 
the  Italian  Press  was  requested  to  publish  the 
following  announcement :  "The  James  Pierpont 
Morgan  Foundation,  which  suspended  its  award 
of  prizes  for  the  period  of  the  war,  has  now  re- 
opened its  offices  in  Paris,  and  will  assign,  with- 
in the  next  three  months,  its  annual  prize  for 
the  best  production  of  Italian  literature."  The 
prize  was  announced  as  50,000  lire  and  authors 
were  invited  to  stibmit  manuscripts  to  a  certain 
Berthier  in  Paris.  Late  in  November,  it  was 
stated  that  the  J.  P.  Morgan  prize  had  been 
awarded  to  the  Venetian  writer,  Antonio  De- 
mande  Quattrind  for  his  novel  "The  Slave  of 
Beauty."  And  bundles  of  the  novel  began  to 
arrive  C.  O.  D  at  the  booksellers'  shops.  Who 
Mr.  Quattrini  is  is  still  unknown.  "The  Slave 
of  Beauty"  seems  to  be  the  work  of  an  illiter- 
ate, it  is  said,  quite  ignorant  of  spelling  and 
syntax.  Newspapers  have  received  frequent 
letters  from  him  threatening  suits  for  slander, 
denouncing  his  critics  and  defending  "The  Slave 
of  Beauty."  Curio  hunters  are  buying  the  book, 
and  the  booksellers  who  refused  the  bundles  of 
'books  C.  O.  ft.  are  very  much  disgusted.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Book  Trade  Salaries  in  France 

THE  National  Committee  of  the  "Federation 
of  the  Book"  in  France  concerned  itself 
mainly,  during  1921  with  an  attempt  to  estab- 
lish some  relation  between  salaries  and  the  cost 
of  living.  In  the  more  important  parts  of  the 
country  such  as  Paris,  Lyon,  Marseilles,  Lille, 
Bordeaux,  etc.,  an  agreement  was  made  that 
salaries  should  be  raised  tri-monthly  to  meet 
the  rise  in  the  coat  of  living.  Conversely,  they 
should  be  lowered  if  the  prices  of  necessities 
went  down.  This  agreement  was  not  in  force, 
however,  in  most  sections  of  France  where  the 
matter  had  to  be  thrashed  out  amid  often  much 
bitterness  on  both  sides. 

Valuable  Book  Lost 

DICHARD  LE  GALLIENNE  has  lost  a 
^^-  valuable  copy  of  a  first  London  edition 
(1882)  of  Oscar  Wilde's  "Pbems,"  inscribed 
by  the  author.  The  book  was  lost  in  a  taxi 
near  the  Grand  Central  station  or  in  the  wait- 
ing room  there,  on  November  19.  Mr.  Le  Gal- 
lienne  hopes  that  any  bookseller  to  whom  the 
book  is  offered  for  sale  will  communicate  with 
him  in  care  of  The  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY. 

New  York  Holdup 

A  MAN  representing  himself  to  be  from  A. 
R.  Taylor  Co.  of  Memphis  called  at 
George  H.  Doran  Co.'s  office  last  Saturday 
afternoon,  told  a  long  story  of  a  motor  ride  to 
New  York  and  subsequent  exhaustion  of  funds. 
The  amount  borrowed  on  a  well-connected 
story  has  not  yet  .been  returned,  as  is  often 
the  case  with  Saturday  afternoon  borrowings. 
Others  of  the  trade  may  have  the  same  case 
presented  to  them.

A  collection  of  unpublished  manuscripts  of 
Jane  Austen  will  be  issued  during  the  spring. 
They  include  two  novels  and  a  short  history 
of  England  said  to  have  been  written  before 
she  was  twenty  years  of  age. 


It  has  been  a  long  time  since  there  has  been 
an  exhibition  at  the  New  York  Public  Library 
that  has  attracted  so  much  attention  as 
the  Roosevelt  Memorial  Exhibition  is  now  do- 
ing. The  exhibit,  which  begins  at  the  right  of 
the  entrance,  attempts  to  do  two  things.  Com- 
mencing with  Colonel  Roosevelt's  ancestors  and 
tracing  life  thru  boyhood,  college  days,  and 
western  experiences,  it  attempts  to  show  his 
development  as  a  citizen,  giving  his  best  efforts 
to  civic,  state  and  national  affairs.  This  is 
shown  in  a  series  of  cases  arranged  chrono- 
logically on  the  north  and  part  of  the  south 
side  of  the  large  exhibition  room.  The  re- 
maining cases  are  planned  to  show  Colonel 
Roosevelt  as  a  writer  of  books,  a  naturalist  and 
a  home  lover,  and  to  illustrate  the  literature 
which  has  grown  up  around  his  name.  The  up« 
right  standards  contain  additional  portraits,  car- 
toons, and  other  pictures  illustrating  the  ad- 
joining cases.  The  books,  manuscripts  and  il- 
lustrative material  come  from  two  great  Roose- 
velt collections :  that  of  the  New  York  Public 
Library  and  of  the  Roosevelt  Memorial  Asso- 
ciation. A  number  of  items  have  been  loaned 
by  Mrs.  Roosevelt,  members  of  the  Roosevelt 
family,  and  others. 

The  Dickens  Collection  of  books,  manu- 
scripts, letters  and  relics  formed  by  the  late 
Dr.  R.  T.  Jupp  of  London  sold  at  the  Ander- 
son Galleries  February  I  and  2  was  extraordi- 
narily successful,  the  491  lots  bringing  $32,- 
508.75.  Private  collectors  played  an  important 
part  buying  the  larger  portion  of  the  rarer 
items,  and,  in  many  cases,  paying  record  prices 
for  them.  Some  of  the  more  important  lots 
and  the  prices  which  they  brought  were  the  fol- 
lowing :  Grip  the  Raven,  the  original  of  Grip 
in  "Barnaby  Rudge"  stuffed  and  mounted  in  a 
glass  case,  $310;  Frith's  oil  painting  of  Dolly

Carol,"  1843,  $105 ;  the  excessively  rare  trial

Dickens,"  3  vols.  extended  to  7,  extra-illustrated

in  levant,  London,  1872-74,  $1,000;  the  Gatfs 
Hill  Gazette,  nine  numbers,  two  supplements 
and  four  letters  $425 ;  "Great  Expectations,"  3 
vols.,  original  plum-colored  cloth,  London,  1861, 
$455 ;  A.  L.  S.  of  Dickens  asking  Macready  per- 
mission to  dedicate  "Nicholas  Nickleby"  to  him, 
Sept.  21,  1839,  $480;  "Oliver  Twist,"  in  parts, 


•London,  1845-46,  $380;  "Pickwick  Papers,"  in 
parts,  1836-37,  first  issue  with  the  rare  points, 
$3.50O;  autograph  manuscript  of  Dickens  re- 
lating to  his  creation  of  the  character  of  Pick- 
wick, $2,200;  "Sketches  by  Boz,"  in  original 
parts,  London,  1837-39,  the  scarcest  of  Dickens's

ter containing  the  famous  tribute  of  Stevenson 
to  Dickens  after  reading  "The  Christmas 
Carol,"  $1150;  "The  Tale  of  Two  Cities,"  in 
parts,  1859,  $475;  and  an  ivory  box,  Dickens' 
wedding  present  to  hfs  bride,  Catherine  Ho- 
garth, $800.  Many  of  the  most  important  lots 
were  personally  bought  by  William  R.  Hearst 
wiho  attended  the  sale,  did  his  own  bidding  and 
seemed  to  enjoy  the  sport  greatly. 

The  American  Bookplate  Society  is  now 
holding  its  seventh  annual  exhibition  of  con- 
temporary bookplates  at  the  National  Arts 
Club,  15  Gramercy  Park,  and  is  open  to  the 
public  each  week  day  between  the  hours  of  ten 
to  six  and  Sundays  from  two  to  six  and  will 
•be  on  exhibit  until  February  26.  After  that 
time  the  show  will  be  exhibited  at  various  lib- 
raries and  art  museums  thruout  the  United 
States. 

A  collection  of  unpublished  letters  of  Lord 
Byron  which  passed  into  the  hands  of  Lady 
Dorchester  on  the  death  of  her  father  are  now 
at  last  to  see  the  light.  The  volume  will  be 
issued  by  Murray  who  is  editing  the  two  vol- 
umes himself  and  to  whom  the  papers  were 
left  by  Lady  Dorchester's  will. 

Charles  F.  Heartman,  of  Perth  Amboy,  N. 
J.,  has  just  issued  a  bibliographical  work  en- 
titled "The  Cradle  of  the  United  States,  1765- 
1789,"  in  a  handsome  royal  octavo  volume 
limited  to  100  copies,  10  on  Japan  paper.  This 
work  describes  500  broadsides,  pamphlets  and 
books  pertaining  to  the  Stamp  Act,  the  Boston 
Massacre,  the  causes  resulting  in  conflict  with 
the  mother  country,  the  War  of  Independence, 
and  the  adoption  of  the  Federal  Constitution, 
alphabetically  arranged  with  index  to  items, 
issued  anonymously  but  listed  under  the 
author's  name.  The  titles  are  fully  given  with 
reference  numbers  of  Sabin,  Evans  and  other 
bibliographers.  Nearly  all  titles  have  notes 
and  they  contain  much  valuable  information. 
Mr.  Heartman  remarks  "that  it  is  a  curious 
fact  that  nobody  has  ever  on  a  large  scale 
attempted  to  collect  the  contemporary  mate- 
rial relating  to  the  most  critical  period  of  the 
history  of  the  United  States."  Perhaps  this 
might  not  have  been  the  case  if  there  had  been 
better  bibliographical  information  easier  to  get 
at.  Frequently  just  such  handbooks  as  this 
open  the  eyes  of  collectors  to  fields  that  other- 
wise might  remain  neglected.

The  Toast  of 
all  England 

Anne  Bracegirdle  was  a 
famous  English  actress  of 
the  17th  century.  Her  bril- 
liant wit  and  radiant  beauty 
endeared  her  to  all  who 
came  under  her  spell. 

THE  BRACEGIRDLE 

Sweet  and  refreshing  as  a  fragrant  breeze  from  some  lotus- 
laden  forest  is  this  romance  of  love  and  chivalry.  It  is  the 
intimate  tale  of  Anne — "The  Darling  of  the  London  Stage." 
The  author's  masterly  skill  in  recreating  this  heart  appealing 
story  from  the  ashes  of  the  past,  will,  we  believe,  place  The 
Bracegirdle  among  the  Successes  of  the  Season.

E.  PHILLIPS  OPPENHEIM 

Author  of  THE  GREAT  IMPERSONATION 


CL   "The  Great  Prince  Shan"  will  outsell  "The  Great  Impersonation." 

C.  This  is  a  rather  startling  prophecy,  but  it  is  significant  that  in  expressing 
their  opinion  of  the  story  the  great  majority  of  leading  booksellers  stated  that 
they  considered  "The  Great  Prince  Shan"  a  better  story  than  "The  Great 
Impersonation.  " 

C,  This  prophecy  is  further  sustained  by  the  fact  that  although  we  printed  an 
exceedingly  large  first  edition,  we  have  been  obliged  to  go  to  press  with  the 
second  large  edition  three  weeks  before  publication. 

d.  The  same  enthusiasm  with  which  we  backed  "The  Great  Impersonation" 
is  behind  this  book,  and  with  your  co-operation  a  six  figure  sale  is  a  certainty. 

To  Help   You  Sell  "The  Great  Prince  Shan" 

1 .  Postcards,  with  your  imprint,  for  mailing  to  your  customers. 

2.  Extra  Jackets,  in  four  colors,  for  making  window  display.

"/  hold  every  man  a  debtor  to  his  profession, 
from  the  which,  as  men  of  course  do  seek  to 
receive  countenance  and  profit,  so  ought  they  of 
duty  to  endeavor  themselves,  by  way  of  amends, 
to  be  a  help  and  ornament  thereunto"  —  BACON. 


Publication  Dates 

IT  is  not  always  realized  in  the  book-trade 
how  much  importance  is  attached  to  the  exist- 

ence of  a  well-observed  publication  date  espe- 
cially for  those  titles  on  which  the  public's 
expectation  has  been  most  keenly  aroused. 
The  case  needs  restatement  especially  now.  as 
there  has  recently  been  much  irritation  over 
the  subject  in  the  trade. 

In  the  field  of  the  magazine  the  importance 
of  the  publication  date  is  clearly  recognized; 
shipping  is  carefully  timed,  in  order  that  all 
dealers  may  receive  the  issues  at  the  same 
time  in  all  parts  of  the  country,  and  the  local 
distributors  are  extremely  careful  that  no  one 
dealer  shall  put  a  magazine  on  sale  before  the 
announced  date.  Only  by  a  careful  observance 
01  this  practice  by  the  dealer  can  a  condition 
of  irritation  be  avoided  among  the  different 
outlets,  each  one  of  which  has  the  right  to  feel 
that  it  displays  new  matter  as  promptly  as  the 
other. 

In  the  field  of  books  the  understanding  of  the 
importance  of  observing  publication  dates  has 
not  been  as  clearly  accepted,  and  this  has  come 
about  partly  because  on  so  many  books  it  is 
not  important  that  display  shall  be  simultaneous 
and  publishers  on  such  books  do  not  take  as 
great  pains  to  provide  for  simultaneous  de- 
liveries in  all  parts  of  the  country.  During 
the  war  period  and  just  after,  there  was  also 
great  difficulty  in  planning  the  exact  publica- 
tion dates,  as  neither  printers  nor  binders 
could  be  relied  on  to  fulfill  promises  during 
the  pressure  of  over-time  work.  This  meant 
that  advertising  and  promotion  could  not  be 
as  carefully  timed  as  before.  These  latter 
conditions  have  now  passed,  and  a  publication 
date  of  an  important  title  can  now  be  accurately 
set  and  the  national  and  local  advertising  timed 
with  a  reasonable  certainty  of  fulfillment. 

When,  however,  dates  are  announced  in  this 
national  advertising,  it  is  necessary  to  allow 


for  a  margin  of  safety  by  shipping  goods  to 
distant  points  some  days  ahead.  At  this  point 
a  very  definite  responsibility  falls  on  the  book- 
seller who  may  receive  bis  stock  before  the 
date  mentioned.  The  publisher  usually  on  an 
important  item  sends  the  bill  ahead  and  marks 
the  bill  prominently  with  the  publication  date, 
warning  the  dealer  against  too  early  display. 

Many  booksellers  have  apparently  felt  that 
this  warning  was  a  mere  formality  and  passed 
the  invoice  down  to  the  shipping  room  without 
instructions,  with  the  result  that  the  books  may 
appear  in  the  window  or  on  the  counter  some 
days  ahead.  This  bookseller  should  stop  and 
think  of  the  injustice  this  does  to  the  other 
booksellers  on  the  same  street,  or  at  the  nearby 
news-stand,  or  in  the  neighboring  cities  who  are 
conscientiously  observing  instructions.  A  lax 
handling  of  this  problem  means  irritation 
among  booksellers  who  should  be  cooperating, 
and  it  means  remonstrating  telegrams  to  the 
publisher. 

As  a  specific  case,  on  the  publication  of  Mrs. 
Burnett's  new  novel  one  bookseller  put  the  book 
on  display  eight  days  ahead  of  the  date  set. 
Realizing  that  this  was  against  the  wishes  of 
the  publisher,  he  did  not  put  it  on  top  of  the 
counter,  but  kept  it  handy  for  selling  in  order 
to  "steal  a  march"  on  the  other  fellows.  In 
an  eastern  city  a  large  department  store  put 
the  same  book  on  the  counter  more  than  a  week 
ahead  of  the  publication  date,  causing  un- 
friendly comment  from  neighboring  dealers 
who  sent  their  telegrams  to  the  publisher  ask- 
ing for  permission  to  put  it  on  sale. 

The  publishers  are  peculiarly  helpless  in  this 
situation,  and  about  all  they  can  do  is  what 
some  have  already  done,  that  is,  if  a  bookseller 
has  obviously  broken  faith,  to  avoid  shipping 
to  such  bookseller  in  the  future  before  the 
actual  publication  date.  This  means  some 
special  care  in  general  shipping  and  a  loss  to 
the  bookseller  concerned,  but  it  is  probably 
the  only  way  in  which  the  publisher  can  actu- 
ally make  his  point  clear.  It  would  be  espe- 
cially worth  while  if  every  bookseller  would 
take  this  matter  up  with  the  receiving  clerk 
and  with  all  salesmen,  in  order  that  everyone 
•in  the  store  should  understand  the  ethics  of  this 
situation  and  its  importance  in  book-trade  prac- 
tice. 

Another  point  in  the  publication  date  problem 
probably  comes  up  in  connection  with  less 
carefully  scheduled  titles,  from  the  fact  that 
publishers  often  forget  to  start  books  to  distant 


490 


The  Publishers'   Weekly 


points  in  time  to  reach  those  cities  by  the  time 
their  advertising  in  the  large  national  mediums 
breaks.  Customers  of  the  bookstores  in  outly- 
ing cities  are  very  prone  to  believe  that  their 
local  stores  are  behind  the  large  city  stores  in 
having  supplies,  and  if  a  reader  in  New  Orleans, 
lept  us  say,  sees  a  book  advertised  in  the  New 
York  Times,  it  will  take  a  good  deal  of  ex- 
planation by  the  local  dealer  to  convince  that 
buyer  that  it  is  not  already  on  full  display  in 
New  York  and  that  it  is  not  the  backwardness 
of  the  said  dealer  that  prevents  its  being  in 
New  Orleans. 

Sometimes  this  happens  because  the  adver- 
tising got  ahead  of  the  display,  even  in  New 
York,  sometimes  because  the  distant  dealer's 
supplies  are  coming  by  slow  transportation,  but 
frequently  it  is  because  the  publisher  does  not 
realize  the  condition  of  affairs  in  the  outlying 
city  and  fails  to  take  every  precaution  to  get 
books  there  on  time  so  that  the  reputation  of 
the  local  store  for  service  may  be  maintained. 

Against  American  Valuation 

THE  system  of  tariff  levying  by  American 
valuation,  which  has  been  so  strongly 
protested  against  by  the  entire  book-trade, 
seems  to  be  going  aground  in  Congress,  accord- 
ing to  reports  now  received.  While  the  Ways 
and  Means  Committee  of  the  House  still  de- 
clare that  no  other  method  can  be  used,  the 
Republican  majority  of  the  Senate  Finance 
Committee  is  having  schedules  of  the  tariff 
bill  rewritten,  basing  the  duties  on  foreign 
market  value.  The  disagreement  between  the 
two  houses  of  Congress  may  lead  to  delay,  but 
it  is  a  welcome  sign  for  the  book  business  that 
such  a  disagreement  has  come  about,  as  the 
American  valuation  more  than  doubled  the 
book  duties  and  provided  a  protection  that 
no  one  in  this  market  was  asking  for.  Such 
protests  as  have  been  going  up  in  this  field 
have  probably  been  duplicated  in  other  fields, 
and  the  trade  should  intensify  its  contact  with 
Washington  to  insure  a  fair  tariff  without  pro- 
hibitive rates. 

Bible  Society  Quits  Printing 

'"THE  announcement  that  the  American  Bible 
*  Society  is  to  cease  doing  its  own  manufac- 
turing has  created  wide  interest.  For  more 
than  one  hundred  years  this  Society  has 
owned  its  own  manufacturing  plant,  and  since 
1853  has  been  located  in  the  building  known 
as  the  Bible  House  on  Astor  Place,  New 


York.  It  will  now  close  its  press,  electro- 
typing  and  composing  room,  and  it  may  sell 
the  entire  building  and  relocate.  The  Society 
is  not  to  curtail  its  activities  in  distributing 
Bibles,  but  will  have  its  manufacturing  done 
by  contract  in  different  places. 

The  New  York  press  believes  that  this 
is  a  direct  result  of  the  increased  cost  in 
manufacture  in  New  York  City.  The  New 
York  World  says,  "The  cost  of  Bible  paper 
handicaps  the  Society,  but  that  factor  is  uni- 
form thruout  the  country.  Labor  costs  and 
fire  insurance  are  given  as  among  the  rea- 
sons for  the  change  in  policy.  It  is  well  known 
in  the  book  and  magazine  publishing  business 
that  much  of  the  printing  work  directed  in 
New  York  which  is  not  of  a  nature  to  de-

Trade  Associations  and  Government  Restrictions 


FROM  the  office  of  Secretary  Hoover  in  the 
Department  of  Commerce  has  come  an  im- 
portant document  which  will  greatly  clarify 
the  situation  for  trade  associations  and  make 
it  much  easier  for  them  to  direct  the  scope  of 
their  work  without  feeling  that  there  is  any 
real  danger  of  running  counter  to  the  Sherman 
Law.  This  document  takes  the  form  of  a 
long  and  detailed  letter  reviewing  the  situation 
of  trade  associations  directed  to  Attorney  Gen- 
eral Daugherty  by  Secretary  Hoover,  followed 
by  an  acknowledgement  and  brief  comment 
from  the  Attorney  General. 

This  discussion  has  made  it  possible  for  Mr. 
Hoover  to  describe  carefully  certain  activities 
that  are  common  to  a  great  many  trade  asso- 
ciations and  to  ask  the  Attorney  General 
whether  in  his  opinion  these  seem  to  be  in  any 
way  in  conflict  with  the  Sherman  Law.  The 
list  which  has  thus  been  submitted  and  ap- 
proved covers  those  aspects  of  trade  organiza- 
tion work  which  are  most  important  to  these 
industries  and  most  important  to  the  trade 
progress  of  the  country.  As  Secretary  Hoover 
pointed  out,  the  Act  which  created  the  De- 
partment of  Commerce  imposed  on  that  De- 
partment the  duty  "to  foster,  promote,  arid  de- 
velop foreign  and  domestic  commerce,  the  min- 
ing, manufacturing,  shipping  and  fishery  in- 
dustries and  the  transportation  facilities  of  the 
United  States."  In  following  that  injunction, 
the  Secretary  has  employed  all  legal  means  to 
get  in  close  touch  with  each  industry  and  se- 
cure the  best  available  information  with  regard 
to  the  needs  of  our  trade  and  commerce.  Facts 
on  conditions  were  a  necessity,  and,  as  a  large 
number  of  trade  associations  were  in  existence, 
the  Department  made  inquiry  as  to  their  form 
of  organization  and  the  functions  that  were 
forming  to  see  whether  their  material  could  be 
utilized. 

"Commercial  progress  in  industry,"  to  give 
in  brief  Secretary  Hoover's  communication, 
"has  always  been  measured  by  the  advance  in 
knowledge  of  those  engaged  in  the  industry. 
Its  acquisition  is  the  result  of  continuous  in- 
telligent inquiry  and  must  embrace  al!  facts 
and  circumstances  that  will  in  any  way  influ- 
ence the  industry.  These  facts  and  circum- 
stances must  include  economic  conditions  as 
well  as  scientific  facts,  and  all  commercial  con- 
ditions that  make  for  efficient  production,  mer- 
chandising and  distribution. 

"The  difficulty  seems  to  lie  in  the  determina- 
tion of  the  means  and  methods  that  may  be 
adopted  to  secure  such  information  without 
comment,  but  when  two  individuals  seek  to  join 
their  efforts  and  each  has  views  that  each  has 
gathered,  the  collective  activity  seems  not  to 


be  permitted.  In  other  words,  the  objection 
does  not  go  to  the  instrumentality  but  to  the 
abuse  of  the  information  that  may  be  collected. 

"No  form  of  legislation  has  ever  yet  been  de- 
vised that  would  prevent  men  from  committing 
crimes  if  they  are  so  minded.  The  criminally 
inclined  represent  a  small  minority,  and  it  may 
be  said  in  a  general  way  that,  excepting  offenses 
against  persons  and  property,  most  of  the 
criminal  statutes  regulating  trade  and  com- 
merce and  forbidding  acts  that  seem  against 
sound  policy  have  been  made  necessary  for  the 
control  of  the  minority.  The  fact  that  the 
minority  may  be  known  to  violate  given  laws 
does  not  establish  the  principle  that  the  prim- 
ary means  should  be  forbidden  by  law-abiding 
citizens. 

"Trade  associations  have  been  in  existence 
for  many  years.  The  great  majority  are  legit- 
imate, both  in  form  of  organization  and  ac- 
tivity. It  may  happen  that  an  association  has 
a  lawful  form  but  that  its  officers  might  be 
acting  against  the  law  and  against  the  associa- 
tion's charter,  or  that  members  might  do  so. 
It  would  seem  more  easy  to  determine  the 
forms  of  organization  and  activities  that  are 
generally  recognized  as  good  than  to  determine 
those  that  are  bad.  It  is  with  much  earnest- 
ness that  I  claim  there  is  propriety,  generally 
speaking,  art  these  trade  organizations.  Their 
lawful  field  of  endeavor  is  large,  and  their 
activities  work  for  promotion  and  advancement 
of  public  welfare  and  for  progressive  econ- 
omic organization.  The  character  of  trade  or- 
ganization, the  existence  of  which  should  be 
preserved,  is  the  one  that  has  these  lawful  pur- 
poses in  the  articles  of  the  association  and 
whose  activities  are  in  harmony  with  its  de- 
clared purposes. 

"There  is  much  information  collected  by  a 
trade  organization  that  would  be  of  vast  value 
to  the  public  generally  if  published  in 
practical  available  form.  Some  restrict  these 
statistics  to  members ;  others  make  them  pub- 
lic. Information  lawfully  secured  and  made 
public  can  certainly  not  be  harmful.  It  is  my 
belief  that  good  morals  and  a  sense  of  fair 
dealing  require  the  giving  of  information  se- 
cured in  this  collective  manner  to  the  public 
generally,  to  the  end  that  all  persons  engaged 
in  commercial  transactions  involving  the  in- 
formation tin  question  would  be  on  an  even 
footing. 

"I  desire  the  informal  expression  of  your 
views,  as  attorney-general,  as  to  the  following 
activities  on  the  part  of  trade  associations  and 
their  members  wherein  neither  the  form  of  the 
association  nor  the  activity  is  used  to  hide  or 
conceal  some  contract,  combination,  conspiracy,

agreement  or  understanding,  secret  or  other- 
wise, on  the  part  of  the  association  or  any  part 
thereof,  to  actually  restrain  the  trade  or  other- 
wise violate  the  Sherman  Act." 

The  proposals  put  forward  in  the  form  of 
questions  may  be  more  'briefly  stated  in  the 
positive  form  as  follows: 

1.  A  trade  association  may  provide  a  stand- 
ard or  uniform  system  of  cost  accounting  and 
recommend  its  use,  provided  that  the  costs  so 
arrived  at  are  not  furnished,  by  the  members  to 
each  other,   or  to  the  association   and  by   the 
latter  to  the  members. 

2.  May  advocate  and  provdde  uniformity  in 
trade  phrases  for  the  purpose  of  ending  con- 
fusion in  trade  expressions. 

3.  May  advocate  and  provide  standardization 
of  quality   and  grades  of   the  products  of  its 
members. 

4.  May  collect  credit  information,  providing 
such  information  is  not  used  in  establishing  so 
called  "black  lists." 

5.  May  handle  insurance  of  members. 

6.  May    engage    in    cooperative    advertising 
for  the  promotion  of  trade  and  may  engage  in 
such   form  of  promotion   by   furnishing  trade 
labels,  designs,  etc. 

7.  May  engage  in  the  promotion  of  welfare 
work  in  the  plants  of  its  members. 

8.  May  handle  all  legislative  questions  that 
may    affect    the    particular    industry,    such    as 
tariff,  transportation,  litigation  on  rates,  etc. 

9.  May   undertake  to   promote   closer   rela- 
tions between  the  industry  and  the  Federal  and 
State  governments. 

10.  May    collect    statistics    from    its    mem- 
bers showing  volume  of   production,   capacity, 
wages,   consumption,   domestic  or    foreign   dis- 
tribution, stock  statistics,  wholesale  and  retaiil. 
It  may  compile  the  information  into  a  consoli- 
dated report.  It  may  file  the  combined  statement 
with  the  Secretary  of  Commerce  for  distribu- 
tion by  him  to  the  members  of  the  association 
thru  the  public  press  and  to  the  public  generally. 

11.  While  collecting  production  and  distri- 
bution   statistics,    may    have    members    report 
prices.     These  prices  may  be  consolidated  into 
one  table,  and  this  compilation  sent  to  the  Sec- 
retary of  Commerce  to  be  distributed  by  him 
to  the  public. 

In  replying,  Attorney  General  Daugherty, 
after  making  two  specific  suggestions,  said: 

"I  can  now  see  nothing  illegal  in  the  exercise 
of  the  activities  mentioned,  provided  always 
that  whatever  is  done  is  not  used  as  a  scheme 
or  device  to  curtail  production  or  enhance  prices 
or  have  the  effect  of  suppressing  competition. 
It  is  impossible  to  determine  in  advance  just 
what  the  effect  of  a  plan  when  put  into  actual 
operation  may  be." 

The  exceptions  pointed  out  were  that  in  issu- 
ing cost  accounting  systems  an  association 


should  supply  no  basic  cost  such  as,  for  in- 
stance, a  uniform  stumpage  charge  such  as  had 
been  suggested  by  the  Lumber  Association. 

Secondly,  in  cooperative  advertising  he  said 
that  the  use  of  uniform  trade  labels  on  a  uni- 
form product  by  different  manufactures  might 
result  in  a  uniformity  of  price.  This  objection- 
able plan,  Secretary  Hoover  pointed  out,  was 
not  intentionally  embodied  in  the  plan  that  he 
outlined. 

This  careful  analysis  of  the  trade  associa- 
tion situation  will  put  before  many  bodies  a 
clear  conception  of  what  is  possible  and  also 
indicate  to  others  directions  in  which  they  can 
proceed.  The  National  Association  of  Book 
Publishers,  proceeding  under  its  present  con- 
stitution, would  not  come  in  conflict  with  any 
of  the  suggested  prohibitions  of  the  Sherman 
Law  and  might  proceed  to  even  further  ex- 
tension of  its  activities  under  the  topics  men- 
tioned. The  American  Booksellers'  Associa- 
tion, being  a  more  informal  body,  may  in  the 
future  go  much  further  in  aiding  its  members 
by  statistics  and  trade  information  which  would 
be  strengthening  to  the  profession. 

From  One  Bookshop  to  Another 

THE  appearance  of  one  well  known  city 
bookseller  as  lecturer  in  the  auditorium  of 
a  bookshop  in  a  neighboring  city  is  an  example 
of  good  cooperation  that  is  rather  unusual,  and 
comes  from  the  State  of  Minnesota.  Mrs.  J.  T. 
Watson,  manager  of  the  book  department  of 
the  Duluth  Glass  Block  Store,  opened  a  section 
last  year  for  old  and  rare  books,  and,  in  order 
to  introduce  this  type  of  material  to  the  Duluth 
public,  she  invited  Leonard  H.  Wells,  the  well- 
known  bookman  of  the  Powers  Mercantile  Com- 
pany of  Minneapolis,  to  come  to  Duluth  and 
give  an  informal  lecture  on  the  old  and  rare 
books. 

Mr.  Wells  not  only  knows  rare  books  but  has 
made  numerous  annual  trips  to  London  and 
knows  the  market  from  which  they  come.  He 
took  with  him  to  Duluth  a  fine  collection  of 
rare  items  and  special  bindings,  which  added  to 
,the  attraction  of  the  exhibit  already  planned. 
The  announcement  of  the  lecture  (brought  a 
large  audience,  it  being  given  in  the  bookshop 
itself,  where  for  a  time  book  buying  stopped, 
but,  as  Mrs  Watson  reports,  those  who  just 
happened  to  come  to  the  shop  were  as  interested 
as  those  who  had  planned  to  attend  the  lecture 
and  stood  an  the  doorway  while  Mr.  Wells 
spoke.  Many  people  stayed  afterwards  and  met 
Mr.  Wells  and  asked  his  criticism  on  their 
favorite  books  or  his  estimation  of  some  old 
volume  lung  treasured  in  the  family  posseo- 
siuns.

"Certain  publishers  claim  that  this  method  of 
bookselling  is  to  the  great  advantage  of  the 
booksellers.  That  the  extensive  advertising  by 
the  magazines  of  the  book  or  books  they  use  as 
premiums,  brings  them  to  the  attention  of  many 
readers,  who  are  induced  by  the  advantageous 
offer  to  make  the  purchase  of  the  magazine, 
and  that  thousands  of  readers  who  do  not  pur- 
chase the  magazine,  are  induced  by  the  glowing 
advertisement  to  buy  the  book  of  the  bookseller 
at  the  regular  price.  In  short,  this  magazine 
operation  is  an  endless  chain  of  publicity,  thus 
benefiting  the  bookseller  to  an  extent  no  one 
can  determine. 

"It  does  not  seem  to  use  that  this  beneficent 
sacrifice  on  the  part  of  'certain  publishers'  is 
done  out  of  love  and  affection  for  either 
bookseller  or  magazine.  Self  gain  of  the 
publishers  is  the  most  evident  factor. 

"They  further  state  that  any  loss  in  the 
transaction  if  any,  is  mutually  borne  by  the 
magazine  and  book.  This  claim  of  benefit  to 
booksellers  is  disputable.  It  may  or  may  not 
be  true  as  stated. 

"Whatever  gains  may  be  made  by  the  book- 
seller, if  any,  by  this  premium  business,  is  a 
thousand  times  offset  by  the  dangerous  attack 
on  the  'net  price'  system.  In  1910  and  prior 
years,  the  book-trade  was  on  the  verge  from 
the  crushing  effects  of  price  cutting.  From 
then  on  till  now,  a  great  effort  has  constantly 
been  made  in  support  of  'the  net  price,'  which 
with  few  exceptions,  has  been  fairly  well  main- 
tained. It  is  again  grievously  threatened  from 
within. 

"Can  certain  publishers  be  totally  blind  to  the 
dangerous  and  harmful  effect  of  giving  their 
latest  and  most  important  book  to  the  maga- 
zines to  obtain  subscriptions?  Can  they  not 
see  the  harmful  effect  it  must  have  on  the  best 
class  of  book  readers,  when  they  have  glow- 


ingly placed  before  them,  in  magazine  adver- 
tisement, books  at  a  price  the  bookseller  can 
not  follow?  $5.00  books  at  $3.50 — a  saving  of 
67  per  cent — any  books  of  any  publishers  at  40 
per  cent  discount — the  best  book  of  the  day —

"Can  they  not  realize  that  this  course  has  the 
inevitable  result  of  destroying  the  prestige  of 
bookselling,  reducing  books  to  prize-packages, 
but  above  all,  in  openly  supporting  and  en- 
couraging thruout  the  book-reading  public  the 
impression  that  booksellers  have  been  profiteers 
and  are  asking  abnormal  prices  as  evidenced  by 
the  magazine  prices?  Is  there  no  equity  in  the 
minds  of  certain  publishers,  who,  before  enter- 
ing into  the  publication  of  an  important  book, 
first  solicit  and  obtain  the  advance  order  of  the 
bookseller,  predicating  the  size  of  the  first 
edition  on  the  results,  thus  clearly  establishing 
a  partnership?  What  can  be  said,  when  the 
book  is  made  a  success  by  their  united  efforts, 
when  the  publisher  resorts  to  this  method  of 
increasing  his  sales,  ignores  his  partner — the 
bookseller  ? 

"What  does  the  publisher  suppose  the  book- 
seller might  be  tempted  to  do?  He  cannot 
afford  to  be  undersold.  If  he  meets  magazine 
prices,  all  follow — then  what?  Can  he  afford 
to  underwrite  new  publications?  Can  he  afford 
to  stock  the  books  of  certain  publishers,  that 
magazines  will  not  accept?  Or  might  he  not 
insist  before  underwriting  or  buying  the  forth- 
coming book,  that  he  be  assured  it  will  not  be 
used  as  a  magazine  premium  ?  Suppose  he 
gives  free  as  a  premium  books  for  a  quantity 
purchase?  To  these  certain  publishers,  we 
would  say— STOP— LOOK— LISTEN.

Convention  Publicity  Starts 

A  Letter  to  You! 


Washington,  D.  C. 
Dear  Bill  Bookseller : 

I  KNOW  you're  coming  to  Washington  in 
May  for  our  Annual  Convention  to  help 

celebrate  our  First  Anniversary.  Of  course 
you  know  that  this  will  be  our  twenty-second 
birthday,  but  it  will  be  really  our  first,  for 
this  is  the  beginning  of  a  new  era  for  our 
Association.  To  begin  with,  the  convention  is 
going  to  be  financed  by  ourselves — Book- 
sellers. 

Publishers  will  do  their  bit,  as  booksellers, 
however,  not  as  publishers.  Every  one,  be  he 
retailer,  jobber  or  publisher,  is  a  bookseller, 
of  greater  or  lesser  degree  and  everyone  is 
going  to  put  his  shoulder  to  the  wheel ;  and 
the  publisher,  as  the  greatest  bookseller  of 
us  all,  should  not  only  himself  be  a  member 
of  our  organization,  but  every  one  of  his 
travelers  or  force,  who  is  interested  in  the 
selling  of  books.  The  day  of  petty  arguments 
is  over — we  are  living  in  an  age  of  co-opera- 
tion and  the  final  aim  of  us  all  is  summed 
up  in  the  few  words — "how  to  sell  more 
books."  This  convention  is  not  going  to  tell 
you  how  to  build  bookshelves,  or  racks  or 
tables,  not  going  to  show  you  how  to  install 
new  accounting  methods,  not  going  to  hear 
reports  of  your  overhead  or  how  much  money 
you  lost  last  year,  but — we're  going  to  get 
together  and  tell  our  right  names  and  tell  of 
the  "boosts"  we  have  given  our  business  dur- 
ing the  past  year  and  the  new  points  that 
have  presented  themselves  to  us.  We're 
all  going  to  stand  up  "right  in  meet- 
ing" and  everyone  is  going  to  have 


his  "say."  A  little  later  on  I'll  write  you 
about  the  topics  that  will  be  discussed  and 
say,  boy,  we're  going  to  have  some  "meetin'." 

And  the  best  part  of  all,  we're  going  to  do 
this  ourselves — we  Booksellers — and  the  com- 
mittee has  figured  it  out  that  it  can  be  done 
for  a  small  fee,  and — I  know  you  will  be  sur- 
prised by  the  smallness  of  it — ten  dollars  a 
person  will  cover  the  whole  thing — just  think — 
Monday  night — Tuesday  night — Wednesday 
night — all  day  Thursday  (the  big  "play  day") 
and  all  Thursday  night — I  mean  the  best  part 
of  it.  And  the  days  will  be  taken  care  of,  too. 

I  know  you  haven't  been  here  in  years,  Bill, 
and  there  are  hundreds  of  others  just  like 
you,  waiting  for  an  excuse  to  come  to  your 
National  Capital.  And  just  think,  Bill  com- 
ing from  the  North  where  Winter  is  still  in 
the  ground,  to  the  land  of  Spring  and  sun- 
shine, with  the  Capital's  wonderful  trees  and 
foliage  in  full  bloom — it's  like  going  to  Palm 
Beach  in  February. 

And  I'll  tell  you,  Bill,  confidentially,  that 
we  have  a  real  big  man  as  master  of  cere- 
monies at  the  Banquet  and  the  speakers  are 
all  going  to  be  of  the  same  caliber.  So  make 
up  your  mind  to  foe  here  sure  and  don't  for- 
get to  bring  your  wife  and  daughter,  for  a 
visit  here  will  be  a  most  liberal  education. 

So  here's  looking  at  you  and  with  you, 
toward  the  big  'get-together  week"  at  Wash- 
ington, the  City  Beautiful. 

Cordially  yours, 

SIMON  L.  NYE. 
Chairman  Convention  Publicity  Committee. 


Good  Book-Making 


THERE  is  no  one  who  has  ever  attempted 
to  express  his  ideals  of  good  printing  in 
concrete  book  form  but  knows  that  results 
often  disappoint  those  who  plan  the  book.  To 
take  a  typewritten  manuscript  with  or  without 
(illustrations  and  plan  a  perfectly  suitable  type- 
page  and  title-page  and  to  get  this  produced 
with  a  balanced  result  perfectly  satisfactory  to 
the  eye  cannot  be  done  every  time  or  perhaps 
not  once  in  a  hundred  times,  but  the  sincere 
effort  to  do  that  thing  shows  up  in  the  product 
and  not  only  gives  satisfaction  to  the  user  of  the 
book  but  more  and  more  persuades  readers 
that  the  collection  of  a  library  is  a  present 
delight  and  a  future  pleasure. 
Good  manufacture  in  books  like  problems  of 


taste  in  any  direction  cannot  have  set  rules  or 
standards,  and  few  would  be  willing  to  take  to 
themselves  the  responsibility  of  making  any 
final  judgment  on  merit,  but  what  does  carry 
thru  to  even  the  most  casual  purchaser  is  the 
intent  to  make  a  good  book,  and  this  usually 
makes  itself  evident  even  in  the  face  of  in- 
dividual failures. 

Nothing  can  be  of  greater  help  to  the  manu- 
facturing man  than  good  models  to  go  by,  as 
without  models  it  is  difficult  to  visualize  the 
completed  volume  and  give  the  instructions 
that  will  bring  about  the  desired  result.  It 
would  be  well  if  every  manufacturing  man  had 
near  to  his  hand  a  collection  of  books  that 
have  been  found  pleasing  to  his  eye  and  general 


496 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


taste,  'in  order  that  he  may  turn  to  these  when 
a  problem  of  a  new  book  is  in  mind.  He  needs 
the  completed  book  for  study  and  comparison 
just  as  the  printer  needs  sample  pages  and  type 
models  with  which  to  work  out  his  'best  efforts. 

Besides  this  collection  of  well-made  trade 
books,  the  manufacturer  needs  an  enthusiasm 
for  the  beauty  and  meaning  of  sound  type  de- 
sign and  composition,  which  will  generate  an 
enthusiasm  for  good  printing  which  will  make 
the  problem  of  planing  even  the  least  ambitious 
of  volumes  a  task  to  be  approached  with  in- 
terest. Once  a  good  model  has  been  worked 
out  for  a  book  of  specific  size  and  character, 
this  book  can  be  used  for  a  pattern  for  future 
books  of  that  kind. 

A  very  beautiful  piece  of  special  typography 
that  reprints  a  text  well  worth  reading  by  the 
lover  of  good  books  is  a  volume  privately 
printed  at  the  William  E.  Rudge  Press  entitled 
"Modern  Fine  Printing  in  America,"  an  essay 
by  A.  E.  Gallatin.  Mr.  Gallatin  pays  a  fine 
tribute  to  Bruce  Rogers  and  D.  B.  Updike  as 
artists  of  the  first  order  in  the  field  of  fine 
book-making  and  printers  who  reflect  the  great- 
est credit  on  American  art. 

A  very  interesting  innovation  in  book  im- 
printing has  been  turning  up  on  the  volumes 
from  A.  A.  Knopf,  Inc.,  this  year.  On  the 
back  of  its  title  pages  it  gives  complete  infor- 
mation as  to  who  is  responsible  for  the  manu- 
facture of  its  books.  "Explorers  of  the 
Dawn,"  for  instance,  by  Mazo  De  La  Roche, 
set  up  and  printed  by  the  Vail-Ballou  Company, 
Binghamton,  N.  Y. ;  Paper  (Warren's)  fur- 
nished by  Henry  Lindenmeyr  &  Sons,  New 
York ;  bound  by  the  Plimpton  Press,  Norwood, 
Mass."  Thus  gives  credit  where  credit  is  due 
for  a  beautiful  volume  and  gives  it  in  greater 
detail  than  we  have  ever  before  seen  credit 
given. 

A  notable  book  manufactured  to  the  satis- 
faction of  any  booklover  is  "Maria  Chapde- 
laine"  by  Louis  Hemon  (Macmillan.)  The 
type  page  is  of  fine  balance,  the  presswork 
is  careful  and  the  book  has  a  deep  blue  second 
color  on  the  title  page  and  at  the  chapter  head- 
ings. 

An  interesting  opportunity  to  compare  Eng- 
lish with  American  book-making  where  the 
problem  is  similar  is  shown  in  the  "New  Cam- 
bridge Shakespeare,"  published  by  the  Cam- 
bridge University  Press  and  by  Macmillan. 
The  first  two  volumes  were  manufactured  in 
this  country  and  the  third,  "The  Merry  Wives 
of  Windsor,"  has  come  to  hand  in  the  import- 
ed edition.  The  type  page  was  evidently 
planned  to  be  identical  or  as  nearly  identical  as 
possible,  tho  the  English  edition  is  untrimmed. 
To  our  eye  the  "American  typography  is  every 
whit  as  satisfactory  as  that  of  the  English. 
The  price  of  the  American  edition  is  $1.40 


and     the     English     edition,     eight     shillings. 

Doubleday  have  made  a  very  attractive  vol- 
ume of  "The  Ragged  Edge"  by  Harold  Mc- 
Grath  with  its  usual  use  of  the  two-color  title 
page.  The  type  and  page  leave  nothing  to  be 
desired  for  readableness. 

Stewart  Kidd  has  made  a  most  attractive 
small  twelvemo  of  Warren  Miller's  "The 
Sportsman's  Workshop,"  printed  at  the  Abing- 
don  Press.  The  type  page,  chapter  headings 
and  general  presswork  are  excellent. 

A  fine  looking  octavo  comes  from  the  At- 
lantic Monthly  Press,  Sterling  A.  Leonard's 
collection  entitled  "The  Atlantic  Book  of  Mod- 
ern Plays."  The  binding  is  especially  at- 
tractive, having  simple  lettering,  and  the  yel- 
low stained  top  matches  the  yellow  ink  on  the 
side. 

A  well-planned  reference  book  in  its  typo- 
graphical layout  is  Waldo  R.  Browne's  "What's 
What  in  the  Labor  Movement"  (B.  W. 
Huebsch,  Inc.)  The  book  is  well  bound  in 
strong  buckram. 

A  good  example  of  the  steady  perfecting  of 
standards  by  our  American  school  book  pub- 
lishers is  shown  in  "Elementary  Community 
Civics"  by  R.  O.  Hughes.  An  amount  of 
thought  and  care  is  given  to  .page  planning 
and  illustrations  that  makes  the  book  interest- 
ing to  read  while  still  obviously  a  textbook. 

It  has  been  pleasant  for  those  who  love 
great  book  illustration  to  see  that  Maurice 
Leloir's  truly  great  illustrations  for  "The 
Three  Musketeers"  have  been  reprinted, 
this  time  in  a  one-volume  edition  (D.  Appleton 
&  Company).  These  famous  pictures  were  en- 
graved on  wood  by  Huyot  and  have  seldom 
been  equalled  as  an  example  of  how  admirably 
a  set  of  drawings  can  fit  with  a  seeming  inevit- 
ableness  into  the  text.  This  book  was  origin- 
ally made  in  two  volumes,  but  will  now  become 
available  to  a  larger  public  without  having  suf- 
fered any  in  the  reprinting. 

Ladies'  Night  at  the  League 

THE  New  York  Booksellers'  League  held  the 
most  important  of  its  yearly  dinners  at  the 
Hotel  Brevoort  the  evening  of  February  I5th. 
President  Ralph  Wilson  was  in  the  chair,  and 
the  speakers  were  Richard  LeGallienne,  who 
talked  in  a  most  interesting  way  on  "The 
Human  Side  of  Books,"  Henry  Collins  Brown, 
who  showed  pictures  of  old  New  York  and 
talked  on  the  interesting  historical  places,  and 
Ida  Bensey  Judd,  who  gave  readings  from 
Moliere.  Hendrik  Van  Leon  was  also  called 
on  for  a  word  of  greeting  at  the  end  of  the 
program.  Among  special  guests  at  the  head 
table  was  Mr.  T.  H.  Sofield  of  the  English 
ihouse  of  G  P.  Putnam's  Sons,  who  is  in  this 
country  on  a  business  trip.

Titles  the  Libraries  Liked  in  1921 


A  SUMMARY  of  the  titles  that  have  been 
approved  as  especially  desirable  for  library 
use  from  among  the  publications  of  1921  is 
tabulated  'below.  In  the  Annual  Summary 
number  of  January  28th  there  was  printed  a 
tabulation  of  the  briefer  list  of  books  recom- 
mended for  the  small  library- 
There  has  been  considerable  desire  expressed 
for  the  publication  of  the  full  summary  as  an 
interesting  indication  of  how  the  demands  of 
general  library  use  were  being  met  by  the  va- 
rious publishers.  These  summaries  are  based 
on  the  Booklist,  a  monthly  publication  issued 
from  the  headquarters  of  the  American  Lib- 
rary Association  at  Chicago,  edited  by  Miss 
Mae  Massee  with  the  cooperative  aid  of  many 
librarians,  specialists  in  various  fields. 

From  this  summary  below  the  government 
documents,  and  pamphlets  issued  by  libraries, 
etc.,  have  been  eliminated,  and  the  total  in- 
cludes only  the  names  of  the  publishers  who 
had  two  or  more  titles  in  the  list :

The  Case  of  Darwin 

THE  fight  against  the  appearance  of  the  doc- 
trine of  evolution  in  the  teaching  of  any  pub- 
lic schools  which  was  begun  in  Kentucky  has 
spread  east  to  New  York,  where  Dr.  John 
Roach  Straton,  Pastor  of  the  Calvary  Baptist 
Church,  has  made  it  an  issue.  The  Kentucky 
legislation  to  prohibit  the  teaching  of  evolution 
in  any  school  that  received  public  funds  was 
defeated  thru  the  votes  of  the  representatives 
from  the  larger  cities.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Adventures  of  a  Bookseller 

By  Ketch 


ON  Wednesday  of  each  week  the   Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  offered  a  dinner  to  its 
members   at   which    some    visitor    spoke, 
or  a  pertinent  subject  was  discussed,  and  Mr. 
Bigboss    of    the   Bookstore   never   missed   the 
event,  as  he  was  a  natural  'mixer,'  and  loved  to 
rub   elbows   with 
his    fellow    mer- 
chants. He  had  hit 
up    an    acquaint- 
ance   there    with 
five  jolly  fellows 
whom   :he    knew 
as  Beans,  Coffee, 
Food,    Pigs,   and 
Duds  —  and  was 
known    by    them 
as     Books ;     and 
the    acquaintance 
had  ripened  into 
a    warm    friend- 
ship.    At  every  meeting  these  six  old  cronies 
would  get   together   and   form   a   little   group 
in  the  social  room  before  going  out  to  dinner, 
and  dinner  always  saw  them  lined  up  side  by 
side. 

As  Mr.  Bigboss  stepped  from  the  elevator 
on  this  particular  Wednesday,  Duds  waved  to 
him  and  waited  for  him  as  he  checked  his  hat 
and  coat.  Then  the  two  walked  arm  in  arm 
over  to  the  corner  where  the  rest  were  gath- 
ered. 

"Ah,  there,  Books,"  said  Beans,  "you're  late 
today." 

"Here's  a  seat/'  said  Food,  making  room. 

"Gentlemen,"  said  Books,  seating  himself 
with  Duds,  "What's  the  program  today? 

"A  Canadian  is  going  to  speak,"  said  Pigs, 
and  referring  to  a  circular  he  held,  "His  talk 
is  on  'Reciprocity — the  Soul  of  Trade.'  That 
ought  to  be  good."  • 

There  was  a  chorus  of  approval. 

"Yes,"  said  Books,  "It  ought  to  be  good — 
and  I  hope  it'll  do  good.  But  I'm  rather  skep- 
tical." 

"Skeptical !"  exclaimed  Pigs.  "What  do  you 
mean?" 

Books  smiled  a  wry  smile. 

"How  many  of  you  fellows  have  an  account 
with  me?"  he  asked. 

"Oh,  my  dear  fellow,"  said  Duds,  "I  leave 
the  book  question  to  my  wife." 

"If  ever  I  need  a  book  I'll  come  to  you, 
Books,"  said  Pigs.  "But,  Lord!  I  never  have 
time  to  read." 


SIX    OLD    CRONIES    WOULD    GET   TOGETHER 


Food  was  just  about  to  corroborate  this 
when  Books  burst  into  loud  guffaws,  and  con- 
tinued to  laugh  as  tho  there  was  a  huge  joke 
somewhere.  The  five  regarded  him  quizzically. 
"  'Hasn't  got  time  to  read !' "  roared  Books 
"Thafs  good,  that  is!" 

He  slapped 
Duds  on  the  knee 
and  asked  him 
amid  chuckles  ii 
"That  wasn't 
rich ;"  and  Duds, 
rather  mystified, 
began  to  laugh, 
too.  Pigs  flushed. 
"But,  good 
Lord,  man !"  he 
exclaimed  in  a 
protesting  voice, 
"I  haven't.  Not 
a  minute!" 

At  this  Books  laughed  louder  than  ever,  and 
the  rest  catching  the  contagion  of  his  laugh, 
were  soon  laughing,  too.  Pigs  got  redder  and 
redder. 

"All  right,"  said  he,  in  an  injured  tone, 
"Laugh  if  you  want  to,  but  it's  the  truth ;  and 
there's  darn  few  business  men  that  do  find 
time.'' 

"Oh,  now — "  said  Brooks. 
"Darn  few!"  repeated  Pigs  with  asperity. 
Books  ceased  his  laughter,  but  with  a  mirth- 
ful eye  on  Pigs,  said, 
"Do  you  find  time  to  eat,  Pigs?" 
"No,"  said  Pigs  savagely,  "I  take  time." 
"And    what   would   happen    to   you   if    you 
didn't  take  time  to  eat,  Pigs?" 

Pigs  did  not  answer,  but  sat  flushed  and  pro- 
voked, looking  far  away. 

"Boys,"  said  Books  earnestly,  "What  would 
happen  if  you  didn't  eat  regularly?  Speak  up 
now." 

"Starve,"  said  Beans,  patting  his  tummy. 

"Exactly!"  exclaimed  Books.  Then  he 
tapped  his  forehead,  and  looking  at  Pigs, 
added,  "Starved  I" 

This  tiine  Beans  and  Duds  and  Food  and 
Coffee  joined  the  laugh,  but  Pigs  got  to  his 
feet  and  said  in  a  severe  voice: 

"They  are  moving  out  to  lunch.  Shall  we 
go?" 

Mr.  Bigboss  returned  to  the  Bookstore  later 
in  the  day,  and  had  no  sooner  taken  his  seat 
than  Mr.  Ondeck  approached,  a  book  in  his 


February  25,  1922

"I've  been  reading  this  thing  that  came  in 
this  morning — 'Satanic  Satires' — and  it  sure  is 
great  stuff.  Read  it?" 

"Not  yet,"  said  Mr.  Bigboss,  taking  the  book. 
"Good,  you  say?" 

"Great!  And  we  only  got  five  copies.  Seems 
to  me  its  worth  more." 

Bigboss  opened  at  random  at  the   Preface, 

The  author  of  this  little  volume  is  perfectly  aware 
that  Satire  is  not  a  popular  form  of  writing.  Satire 
is  largely  ridicule,  and  ridicule  is  the  most  deadly 
of  all  weapons.  While  aimed  at  one  object,  it 
generally  hits  a  dozen,  and  it  is  not  unlikely  that 
the  reader  will  receive  some  good,  hard  whacks.  But 
bear  up,  my  friends,  and  remember  that  the  fact 
that  you  are  vulnerable  indicates  that  you  need 
those  whacks.  Be  a  sport  1 

Bigboss  began  to  laugh  heartily  as  he  hand- 
ed back  the  book. 

"Increase  the  order  to  ten — and  here  are 
five  addresses  to  which  you  may  send  each  a 
copy  ...  on  approval.  I  think  four  of  them 
will  stick." 

And  again  he  burst  into  laughter.  Ondeck 
regarded  him  quizzically. 

"What's  the  joke?"  he  asked. 

So  Bigboss  told  him  the  dinner  episode,  and 
added: 

"We're  not  aggressive  enough,  Ondeck! 
Look  at  other  businesses — they  pound  away 
every  chance  they  get;  wear  their  business  on 
their  sleeves  and  stick  to  you  like  a  leech. 
They  never  miss  an  opportunity  to  get  their 
propaganda  over  to  you,  no  matter  where  you 
meet;  and  that's  what  we've  got  to  do!  Seize 
every  opportunity  that  comes  along  to  push 
the  book  business,  Ondeck!  We've  got  to  get 
into  the  modern  game — and  fight !" 

A  Professional  Necessity 

MANY  suggestions  are  being  carried  in  the 
newspapers  to  help  citizens  properly  pre- 
pare income  tax  reports,  and  among  other 
information  there  is  the  information  that  sub- 
scriptions to  professional  journals  should  be 
among  the  deductions  in  the  same  way  as 
office  rent,  light,  heat  and  telephone.  This  is 
a  very  interesting  testimony  to  the  concrete 
importance  of  the  professional  journal  in  con- 
nection with  any  business.  The  Governmem 
Bureau's  statement  of  the  case  is  as  follows: 
"A  professional  man — lawyer,  doctor,  dentist, 
architect,  author,  etc. — may  claim  as  deductions 
the  cost  of  supplies  used  by  him  in  his  practice, 
expenses  paid  in  the  operation  and  repair  of  an 
automobile  used  in  making  professional  calls, 
dues  to  professional  societies,  subscriptions  to 
professional  journals,  office  rent,  the  expense 
of  fuel,  light,  water  and  telephone  used  in 
such  offices  and  the  hire  of  assistants." 


The  English  Literary  Year  Book 

I  N  its  second  year  of  issue  under  the  editor- 
1  ship  of  Mark  Meredith,  the  English  "Liter- 
ary Year  Book"  for  1922  becomes  a  reference 
book  of  great  value,  a  book  of  nearly  1300 
pages  containing  information  that  is  in  daily 
request  at  every  library,  bookshop  or  news- 
paper office. 

650  pages  are  devoted  to  a  "Who's  Who  in 
Literature,"  giving  the  record  of  about  5000 
English  and  American  authors,  correct  birth 
date,  present  address,  list  of  books  and  other 
literary  activities. 

A  list  of  fictitious  and  pseudonymous  names 
has  been  compiled,  1500  in  all;  a  list  of  Eng- 
land's booksellers  so  marked  as  to  indicate 
whether  the  dealer  carries  ne\v  books,  second- 
hand books,  antiquarian  books,  circulating  li- 
brary, or  is  an  export  house.  There  is  a  list 
of  all  the  branches  of  Boots  and  W.  H.  Smith 
&  Sons. 

A  very  important  list  for  American  use  is 
the  index  to  British  periodicals,  arranged  alpha- 
betically and  again  in  classified  form ;  a  list  of 
British  newspapers  and  of  the  periodicals  of 
the  British  Colonies  and  commonwealths ;  an 
alphabetical  list  of  American  periodicals;  valu- 
able material  for  authors'  use  such  as  the  re- 
print of  the  present  American  Copyright  Act, 
of  the  Canadian  Copyright  Act,  of  the  articles 
of  the  Berne  Convention;  an  account  of  the 
American  Income  Tax  as  applied  to  authors; 
information  on  moving  picture  rights  with  a 
list  of  the  producing  companies  both  in  Eng- 
land and  America ;  important  data  on  dramatic 
rights;  a  list  of  English  theaters  and  a  list  of 
English  publishers  and  their  specialties  and 
a  list  of  American  publishers  and  their 
specialties. 

The  public  libraries  of  England  are  listed, 
giving  the  population  of  the  city,  the  librarian's 
name  and  some  particulars  about  the  collection ; 
also,  a  list  of  2200  American  libraries  with  the 
name  of  the  librarian  and  with  the  size  of  the 
city. 

This  makes  in  total  a  needed  reference  book 
of  very  great  importance,  which  will  save  much 
time  and  long  hunting  during  the  coming  year. 
It  is  published  in  United  States  by  the  PUB- 
LISHERS' WEEKLY,  price  $3.00.

REFERENCE,  to  the  1853  Trade  List  of  Little,

the  Fifties"  reprinted  in  the  PUBLISHERS'

Webster's  Life  and  Works,  six  volumes,  and 
Bancroft's  History  of  the  United  States,  three 
volumes.  Judge  Story's  (publications  in  law  in- 
cluded twelve  titles  and  two  of  these  are  still

Foundation  is  sold,  the  bookseller  has  sold  that 
book's  bibliography  of  59  other  books,  47  of 
wb'di  are  science  and  12  of  general  literature. 
It  is  sometimes  said,  this  bookseller  continues, 
that  social  workers  are  not  great  readers,  so 
it  is  of  great  interest  to  the  bookseller  to  draw 
a  selected  list  of  books  to  their  attention.  Miss 
Rflchmcnd's  book  itself  as  an  introduction  to 
social  case  work  is  up-to-date,  and  is  ad- 
dressed to  the  interested  public  as  well  as 
to  the  social  worker.

In  the  Field  of  the  Retailer 


The  Bookshop's  Neighbors 

AX  interesting  example  of  a  bookshop  house 
organ  comes  from  the  newly  established 
City  Bookshop  on  South  Virginia  Avenue,  At- 
lantic City.  Mr.  Rankin  has  the  idea  that  his 
store  would  benefit  by  emphasizing  the  shop- 
ping interest  of  the  neighborhood  in  which  he 
has  established,  and  in  issuing  a  little  booklet 
which  describes  his  shop's  facilities,  he  carries 
on  alternate  pages  the  advertisements  of  a  score 
of  shops  located  in  Ihis  vicinity.  "All  these 
advertisers,"  the  booklet  says,  "are  located  on 
or  near  Virginia  Avenue,  the  new  shopping 
center  of  Atlantic  City."  "The  City  Book- 
shop" fulfills  the  three  desires  of  booklovers : 
You  can  browse  with  convenient  shelves  and 
comfortable  chairs;  borrow  from  a  circulating 
library  containing  new  fiction  and  selected  up- 
to-date  non-fiction ;  buy  from  an  assortment  of 
good  books  comprising  standard  works,  poetry, 
drama,  juveniles,  books  on  special  subjects  and 
the  best  of  the  latest  fiction. 

The  Sale  of  Health  Books 

A  MONG  the  many  "Useful  Books"  which 
**• might  well  come  forward  for  more  ade- 
quate display  during  March  are  the  books  on 
public  health,  hygiene  and  the  care  of  babies. 
This  is  an  especially  important  group  of  books, 
because  every  city  is  more  and  more  interested 
in  the  problem  of  improving  its  health  statis- 
tics, and  the  bookseller  can  take  a  real  part  in 
such  plans  .for  city  betterment. 

There  is  now  almost  nationwide  competition 
in  the  field  of  baby  statistics,  one  city  quoting 
its  rates  against  those  of  another.  When  in 
January  the  Health  Commissioner  of  New 
York  issued  an  article  on  "New  York,  the 
Healthiest  City  in  the  World,"  Seattle  took  it 
to  task,  showing  that  in  fifteen  years  it  had 
had  a  death  rate  of  only  9.78,  its  nearest  rivals 
being  in  order  Portland,  Ore.,  St.  Paul  and 
Minneapolis.  In  the  statistics  as  to  the  num- 
ber of  deaths  of  babies  under  one  year  old, 
Seattle's  rate  is  again  lowest,  followed  by  New 
York,  Philadelphia,  Milwaukee,  Buffalo,  Bos- 
ton, Baltimore,  Pittsburgh  and  Fall  River,  these 
statistics  being  only  for  cities  over  200,000, 

With  this  competitive  feeling  in  the  air.  there 
is  a  splendid  opportunity  for  the  bookstores  to 
help  put  into  distribution  the  very  best  material 
in  this  field,  so  that  each  family  may  have 
not  only  an  authoritative  book  on  the  care  of 
children,  but  health  books  of  other  kinds  such 
as  may  be  needed  by  the  average  family.  Such 
a  campaign  of  promotion  will  receive  support 
from  numerous  local  organizations  and  build 
up  an  active  business. 


Juveniles  the  Year  Round 

"THAT  there  is  a  steady  growth  of  the  idea 
*  that  children's  books  can  be  sold  twelve 
months  of  the  year  is  being  shown  not  only 
by  discussion  among  retailers,  but  also  by  the 
publishers'  plans  and  announcements,  which 
indicate  that  this  spring  there  will  be  many 
titles  new  for  the  book  counters  which  will 
enable  the  bookseller  who  knows  his  com- 
munity's interest  to  give  freshness  and  new 
interest  to  his  displays. 

The  old  idea  of  having  ninety  per  cent  of 
the  children's  bookselling  in  November  and 
December  was  partly  due  to  the  fact  that 
parents  were  content  to  let  their  children's 
libraries  grow  wholly  by  gifts  from  the  out- 
side. As  these  parents  realized  that  the 
children's  reading  interest  could  not  be  left  to 
chance,  there  has  been  an  increase  in  the 
month-after-month  book  buying,  which  must 
be  much  to  the  advantage  of  the  boys  and 
girls.  There  seems  to  be  a  feeling  that  the 
large  illustrated  books  and  reissues  of  classics- 
in  elaborate  form  still  stand  a  better  chancti 
in  the  fall,  but  new  juvenile  fiction  will  be- 
ready  in  considerable  quantity  for  the  spring,, 
both  in  the  general  field  of  new  titles  and- 
in  addition  to  the  established  series. 

The  Year  Round  Bookselling  Campaign  is- 
to  give  a  new  emphasis  to  children's  books  in 
connection  with  the  "Back  to  Nature"  slogan 
in  April.  A  point  that  has  been  often  over- 
looked in  connection  with  children's  books 
is  that  the  father  of  the  family  ought  to  be  a 
buyer  just  as  much  as  the  mother,  to  whom 
the  problem  has  been  always  largely  left.  One 
of  the  factors  that  has  brought  about  the  great 
increase  in  the  total  sales  of  toys  has  been 
the  fact  that  the  father  has  also  entered  into 
the  field.  When  it  comes  to  books  on  the 
out-of-doors,  fishing,  tramping,  outdoor  sports 
and  stories  of  the  out-of-doors,  the  father's 
interest  is  always  strong  and  runs  very  par- 
allel to  the  boy's  own  developing  needs. 

In  June  there  comes  another  important 
opportunity  to  bring  forward  children's  books 
in  connection  with  the  "Summer  Reading," 
and  there  should  be  considered  at  that  time 
not  only  the  interest  of  the  older  boys  and 
girls,  who  in  summer  homes  or  summer  camps 
have  extraordinary  opportunities  for  reading, 
but  also  among  the  youngest  children  to  whom 
new  picture  books  are  an  important  diversion 
thru  long  summer  hours.  Booksellers  order- 
ing picture  books  or  older  children's  books 
for  the  fall  ought  to  plan  for  the  'delivery 
of  at  least  some  part  of  the  stock  for  June, 
in  order  to  stimulate  this  summer  business.

Communications 

ON  GETTING  OUT-OF-PRINT  BOOKS 

New  York,  February  17,  1922. 
Editor,  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY: 

Mr.  Cannon's  article  is  interesting,  but  the 
real  reason  why  the  second-hand  dealers  take 
little  or  no  interest  in  library  "want  lists"  is 
simply  because  librarians  are  seldom  willing 
to  pay  just  prices  for  out-of-print  books. 

An  out-of-print  book  ought  to  command 
nearly  as  much  as  the  published  price,  if  it  is 
in  good  condition,  but  the  dealer  who  should 
ask  it  from  Mr.  C.  or  almost  any  other  librar- 
ian would  probably  be  met  with,  "What,  pay 
you  list  price  for  a  book  I  bought  at  one-third 
off?  Not  much!  I'll  give  you  $.25  (for  a 


$1.50  book).  I  had  just  this  experience  with 
one  of  the  largest  Ohio  libraries,  in  January. 
Any  librarian  who  will  let  it  be  known  that 
he  will  pay,  at  any  rate  90%  of  list,  will  get 
all  he  wants  but  probaby  he  would  rather  let 
his  readers  go  without  what  they  want,  and 
then  excuse  himself  by  saying  he  must  "make 
his  funds  go  as  far  as  possible,"  "A  thing  is 
worth  what  it  will  bring,"  and  saying,  as  Mr. 
Cannon  does,  that  "the  chief  obstacle  is  lack  of 
interest  on  the  part  of  the  dealer  himself,"  will 
not  help  the  matter.  Book  dealers  are  not 
philanthropists,  they  have  the  same  expenses 
to  meet  as  have  dealers  in  other  merchandise, 
and  this  fact  ought  to  be  recognized.  When  it 
is,  if  out-of-print  books  cannot  be  obtained,  it 
will  be  simply  because  such  books  are  not  in 
the  market  for  sale.

COURTESY  IN  THE  TRADE 
Editor,  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY: 

You've  been  running  lately,  in  the  PUBLISH- 
ERS' WEEKLY,  a  lot  of  interesting  things  under 
the  heading  "Courtesy  in  the  Trade."  Most  all 
of  it,  however,  has  had  to  do  with  lack  of  cour- 
tesy. Ought  not  the  first  rate  amiability  that 
goes  on  in  our  business  be  passed  along? 

I'm  thinking  right  now  of  what  seems  to  me 
a  striking  instance  of  this.  Twice  in  the  Put- 
nam advertising  copy  I've  noticed  favorable 
comments  on  William  Beebe's  "Edge  of  the 
Jungle"  which  we  publish.  Inasmuch,  as  the 
Putnam  advertisements  are  for  the  purpose  of 
bringing  attention  to  their  own  publications, 
and  not  to  their  bookstore,  I  feel  that  this  ac- 
tion on  their  part  is  an  attitude  reflecting  a 
most  generous  contribution  to  the  better  ethics 
of  the  bookselling  trade. 

Most  sincerely  yours, 
ELLIOT  HOLT,  Advertising  Manager, 
HENRY  HOLT  AND  COMPANY.

Rare  Books,  Autographs  and  Prints 


A  REPRESENTATIVE   collection  of  the 
works  of  W'histler  in  etching,  lithography 
and    engraving    will    be    shown    at    the 
exhibition  of  the  American  Academy  of  Arts 
and  Letters,  March  16  to  April  16. 

In  the  exhibition  of  American  etchings  at 
the  Brown-Robertson  Gallery  there  are  121 
specimens  and  sixty-three  contributors,  among 
them  George  Elmer  Brown,  Ernest  Haskell, 
Childe  Hassam,  F.  Louis  Mora  and  Joseph 
Pennell. 

The  library  of  the  late  Baroness  Burdett- 
Coutts,  famous  for  its  Daniel  copy  of  the 
First  Folio  of  Shakespeare  and  its  rare 
books  and  manuscripts  of  the  Victorian  pe- 
riod, will  probably  be  sold  in  London  early 
next  summer. 

James  F.  Drake,  4  West  40th  Street,  has 
just  issued  a  catalog  of  "First  Editions  of 
Modern  Authors"  containing  1,501  items, 
characterized  by  a  fine  restraint  as  to  prices. 
While  many  booksellers  are  unmercifully 
boosting  the  prices  of  modern  first  editions 
Mr.  Drake  follows  a  policy  of  his  own  and 
seems  quite  content  to  take  a  moderate  profit. 

"Art  Prices  Current,"  edited  by  G.  Ingram 
Smith,  after  having  been  held  up  during  the 
war  and  by  post  war  conditions,  has  again 
appeared.  The  current  volume,  the  ninth  in 
the  series,  records  the  sales  of  drawings,  pic- 
tures and  engravings  during  the  season  of 
1915-16.  Mr.  Smith  promises  to  issue  the 
succeeding  volumes  at  short  intervals  until 
the  arrears  have  been  overtaken. 

At  the  print  department  of  the  New  York 
Public  Libary  there  is  a  memorial  exhibition 
of  Axel  Haig  who  died  last  year.  In  its  se- 
ries of  American  prints  the  department  is 
showing  a  selection  of  portraits.  Old  city 
views  will  be  put  on  the  walls  in  March,  to 
be  followed  in  April  by  modern  etchings  of 
similar  subjects.  American  scenery  will  be 
illustrated  in  May. 

Books  of  reference  for  the  connoisseur,  il- 
lustrated art  and  colored  plate  books,  French 
and  English  literature  and  many  illustrated 
catalogs  of  famous  art  collections  dispersed 
in  Paris,  London  and  New  York  from  the  li- 
braries of  the  late  Cyrus  Hitchcock  of  East 
Orange,  N.  J.,  the  late  Professor  Kirby  F. 
Smith  of  Baltimore  and  the  late  Charles  H. 
Russell  and  Edward  Brandus  of  this  city, 


will  be  sold  by  the  American  Art  Association 
March   I   and  2. 

Thirty-one  etchings  by  Whistler,  including 
rare  items  in  his  Venice,  Thames  and  French 
sets,  are  to  be  offered  for  sale  at  Sotheby's 
at  the  end  of  this  month  when  trie  collection 
of  A.  L.  Richman  is  put  up.  Two  of  the 
choicest  items  in  the  Whistler  lots  are  un- 
recorded proofs  of  the  Venice  set.  One,  "The 
Traghetto,"  which  is  between  the  second  and 
third  states  and  before  some  of  the  figures 
in  the  final  work  were  introduced,  is  signed 
with  a  butterfly  and  is  considered  to  be 
unique. 

The  Dickens  collection  of  the  late  William 
Glyde  Wilkins  of  Pittsburgh  consisting  of 
first  editions,  autograph  letters,  play  bills, 
prints  and  miscellaneous  Dickensiana,  sold 
at  the  Anderson  Galleries  February  13  and 
14,  brought  good  prices,  the  575  lots  realizing 
$9,667.  The  star  lot  proved  to  be  Quarles 
Quickens's  "English  Notes,"  1842,  a  satire  on 
Dickens's  "American  Notes"  attributed  to 
Edgar  Allan  Poe,  which  brought  $800.  The 
copy  of  "Pickwick  Papers,"  London,  1887, 
with  nearly  1,000  extra-illustrations,  said  to 
contain  the  most  complete  collection  of  Pick- 
wick illustrations  ever  bound  up  with  a  copy 
of  the  work,  brought  $500. 

A.  C.  Webb,  a  ^young  American  etcher, 
whose  picture  "Saint  Chapelle"  was  bought 
by  the  French  Government  a  few  days  ago  at 
the  opening  of  the  black  and  white  exposi- 
tion in  Paris,  is  highly  praised  in  the  French 
press.  Webb  came  from  Nashville,  Tenn., 
and  was  a  lieutenant  in  the  American  Expe- 
ditionary Force.  After  the  armistice  he  at- 
tended the  art  school  opened  for  American 
soldiers  at  Bellevue.  He  had  never  done  any 
sort  of  art  work  before  and  in  a  couple  of  years 
lias  become  one  of  the  best  known  etchers  in 
France,  his  work  frequently  appearing  in  the 
great  French  weekly  L'lllustration.  French 
critics  generally  predict  Webb  will  win  this 
year's  prize  at  the  black  and  white  exhibition. 

Apparently  the  movement  started  a  year 
ago  to  make  a  state  park  of  a  tract  including 
Walden  Pond  as  a  memorial  to  Thoreau  still 
hangs  fire,  admirers  of  the  poet  naturalist 
still  working  for  the  plan.  The  New  York 
Evening  Post  editorially  endorses  the  move- 
ment. It  says :  "Walden,  except  for  the  mys- 
terious ebbs  and  flowings  which  Thoreau  de- 
scribed seventy-five  years  ago,  is  little 
changed. 


I'l-bniary  25,  1922 


since  he  built  his  hut  on  the  spot  now  marked 
by  a  growing  cairn  of  stones.  The  same  woods 
stand  about  it,  the  same  single  railway  period- 
ically disturbs  the  stillness,  and  the  straight 
lines  of  the  'orchard'  which  he  planted  with 
pine  cones  can  still  be  distinguished.  .  .  . 
Walden  appeals  not  only  to  the  literary- 
minded  but  to  the  lovers  of  outdoor  life, 
whose  ranks  owe  more  to  Thoreau  than  to 
any  other  writer.  Only  one  other  spot,  Sel- 
borne,  is  world-famous  in  quite  the  same  way. 
Our  numerous  outdoor  organizations  should 
support  this  movement  for  a  memorial." 

Sir  Israel  Gollancz,  the  well-known  Shakes- 
pearean scholar,  reports  a  discovery  to  the 
London  Times,  involving  the  names  of  Henry 
Condell  and  John  Hemmings,  which,  it  ap- 
pears, were  the  preservers  in  folio  of  the 
plays  of  Shakespeare.  The  discovery  is  the 
more  interesting  because  it  illustrates  possi- 
bilities of  Shakespearean  "finds"  in  old  Eng- 
lish country  houses.  At  a  sale  at  Southby's 
about  a  year  ago  there  was  offered  a  manu- 
script volume  belonging  to  the  early  seven- 
teenth century.  It  was  a  sort  of  common- 
place book  or  "poetical  album"  of  170  pages, 
and  its  main  association  and  contents  were 
concerned  with  Sir  Thomas  Salisbury,  him- 
self a  poet,  and  the  author  of  a  poetical  "His- 
tory of  Joseph"  published  in  1636.  The  vol- 
ume is  now  in  the  National  Library  of 
Wales.  In  it  Mr.  Gollancz  was  shown  by 
the  librarian  a  tribute  to  Hemmings  and 
Condell  never  published  until  now.  The  au- 
thor is  unknown  to  him,  but  he  hints  that  he 
may  have  been  Sir  John  Salisbury's  eldest 
son,  Sir  Henry  Salisbury.  The  lines  modern- 
ized read : 

To  My  Good  Friends,  Mr.  John  Hemmings 
and   Henry   Condell. 
You  that  jointly  with  .undaunted  pains 
Vouchsafed    to    chaunt    to    us    these    noble 

strains, 

How  much  you  merit  by  it  is  not  said, 
But  you  have  pleased  the  living,  loved  the 

dead, 
Raised   from   the   womb   of   earth   a   richer 

mine 

Than  Cortez  could  with  all  his  Castelyne — 
Associates,  they  but  dig  for  gold, 
But  you  for  treasures-  much  more  manifold. 
Sir  Israel  Gollancz  remarks  that,  altho 
these  lines  are  not  of  high  poetic  merit,  they 
"attest  against  certain  modern  fantastic  her- 
esies that  it  was  'love'  of  Shakespeare  that 
prompted  the  editors  to  get  together  his  writ- 
ings, 'with  undaunted  pains' ;  that  their  de- 
votion to  Shakespeare  was  well-known ;  that 
the  treasure  collected  by  them  was  recog- 


nized  as    more   glorious   than   gold   from   the 
richest  mines  of  Mexico."

Follow  the  Leader 

Do  you  remember  playing  "Follow  the  Leader"  in  those 
happy  childhood  days  when  play  was  the  order  of  the  hour? 
When  BOOKS  loomed  large  as  a  grim  symbol  of  school 
lessons  yet  to  be  learned  or,  more  delectably,  as  the  open 
door  to  hair-raising  adventures  and  glorious  romance. 

Books  probably  mean  as  much  to  you  today,  though  they 
influence  you  differently.  Now  once  more  you  may  "Follow 
the  Leader,"  but  this  time  the  object  of  your  endeavor  is 

A  Good  Book 

You  can  determine  what  books  to  read — what  books  to  own 
—what  books  to  give  to  your  friends — by  following  the 
leader  in  the  Chicago  book  field— 

The  Book  Page  in 

The  Chicago  Daily  News 

Remember — it  is  published  every  Wednesday. 
Remember  too —  . 

THAT  THE  BOOK  PAGE  MAY  BE  SUBSCRIBED 
FOR  OUTSIDE  OF  CHICAGO  AT  THE  PRICE  OF 
ONE  DOLLAR  FOR  THE  YEAR,  POSTAGE  PAID 

Here's  a  gift  any  of  your  friends  will  appreciate,  and 
which  contains  a  value  out  of  all  proportion  to  the  money 
outlay.

New  York  Herald  says :  "This  book  is  an  event  of 
importance.  The  author  is  spokesman  for  a  large 
segment  of  the  people,  for  the  most  part  unheard,  and 
his  work  is  a  frank,  vigorous,  often  eloquent,  appeal  to 
revelation — to  the  Bible  literally  accepted  as  the  supreme 
teacher.  Mr.  Bryan  has  the  courage  of  his  convictions  and 
realizes  that  world  religion  must  rest  squarely  upon  the 
validity  of  its  revelation.

HAROLD 

BELL 
WRIGHT 


There  is  a  stir  in  the  world  when  a  new 
novel  by  Harold  Bell  Wright  appears. 
In  all  parts  of  the  land  interest  flares 
up  in  the  man  who  can  thus  stir  hundreds 
of  thousands  of  men  and  women  by  the 
force  of  his  words.  You  hear  of 
the  days  when  he  was  a  preacher, 

and  of  how  the  wholesomeness  and  inspiration  of  his  stories  show  him 
still  the  director  of  men's  souls;  you  hear  of  his  hard  working  days  when  his 
struggle  was  for  life  itself  and  of  how  the  humanity  and  love  of  mankind  shown 
in  his  novels  are  based  on  truest  understanding.  He  is  fond  of  animals  one  learns, 
and  his  love  of  the  open  is  emphasized  by  pictures  of  him  doing  his  writing  out-of- 
doors.  His  home  in  the  Arizona  desert  is  familiar  as  perhaps  no  other  author's  is 

to  all  sections  of  the  nation.  Harold  Bell 
Wright — magic  name — is  recognized  as  being 
synonymous  with  the  phrase  "the  most  pop- 
ular author  in  the  world." 

All  this  has  been  brought  home  to  the  world  as 
perhaps  never  before,  owing  to  the  tremendous  success 
of  his  latest  novel,  "Helen  of  the  Old  House,"  the 
wonderful  story  of  industry  and  of  the  hearts  and 
fortunes  of  the  workers  today.  Starting  with  a 
phenomenal  advance  sale,  "Helen  of  the  Old  House" 
has  proved  and  is  this  moment  proving  a  veritable 
gold  mine  of  entertainment  to  the  admirers  of  Harold 
Bell  Wright  in  every  city  and  hamlet  of  the  United 
States.  A  record  size  edition  was  printed  in  advance 
of  publication  and  since  then  two  other  huge  editions 
have  been  required,  each  of  them  larger  than  the 
total  sales  of  many  of  the  so-called  "six  best  sellers." 
Since  January  i,  the  sales  of  "Helen  of  the  Old 
House",  have  been  enormous.  It  will  be  a  popular 
success  throughout  1922.  $2.00  net.

By 

E.  PHILLIPS  OPPENHEIM 

Author  of  THE  GREAT  IMPERSONATION 


Read   the  Following  Opinions    from    Leading    Booksellers: 

"A   'Blue  Ribbon'  even  for  Oppenheim." 

"Without  a  doubt  the  most  interesting  of  Oppenheim's  novels." 

"The  best  book  that  Oppenheim  has  written." 

"Second  to  none  of  his  books." 

"It  would  be  difficult  to  find  a  better  or  more  interesting  story  than 
'The  Great  Impersonation.'  But  this  latest  story  is" 

"One  of  the  best  of  his  works — if  not  the  best" 

"The  most  interesting  novel  of  international  intrigue  that  I  have  read." 

"One  of  Oppenheim's  very  best  books." 

"More  thrilling  than  'The  Great  Impersonation.' " 

"Oppenheim  at  his  best.  It  surely  deserves  a  place  alongside  'The 
Great  Impersonation.' " 

"  'The  Great  Prince  Shan'  far  exceeds,  to  my  mind,  'The  Great  Im- 
personation' in  point  of  interest." 

"In  'The  Great  Prince  Shan'  Oppenheim  has  finally  zvritten  a  mighty 
interesting  story — the  best  book  since  'The  Great  Impersonation/  and  with 
a  stronger  appeal  to  Americans." 

"It  will  rank  with  'The  Great  Impersonation/  which  I  consider  the  best 
book  that  Oppenheim  has  written." 

"I  think  that  'The  Great  Prince  Shan'  is  Oppenheim's  greatest  novel." 

"The  best  Oppenheim  book  for  a  decade." 

"By  far  the  best  that  Oppenheim  has  ever  done."

A  thrilling  story  of  America's  crack  fighting

The  book  is  filled  with  exciting  incidents — the

"mopping  up"  after  the  occupation,  Dick's  cap- 
ture by  Mexican  bandits,  the  masterly  landing  at 
Haiti,  and  finally,  Dick's  promotion  to<  the  rank

No,  Virginia! 

By  HELEN  SHERMAN  GRIFFITH 

Author  of  "Oh,  Virginia." 


The  second  book  of  the  set  and  shows  Jinks  a 
little  older.  Her  mother  decides  that  she  must 
go  to  a  finishing  school,  so,  Virginia  who  hates 
starch  and  stuffiness  has  to  wear  new  and  pain- 
fully dainty  frocks.  The  life  at  the  school  soon 
proves  irksome;  the  younger  girls  are  too  young 
and  the  older  girls  do  not  wish  to  be  annoyed  by 
what  they  term  "a  youngster." 

Meanwhile  Jinks'  fertile  imagination  is  at  work 

and well,  Jinks  almost  finishes  the  finishing 

school.

Stranger,  meet  three  knights  of  the  roving  heel,  three 
guardsmen  of  the  range,  three  stars  of  the  Three  Star 
Ranch: 

Mr.  Sandy  Bourke,  the  gentleman  with  the  curly,  dark- 
brown  hair,  the  broad  shoulders  and  the  well-strung  frame. 
"Sandy,"  because  he  has  grit.  You'll  do  well  to  remember  that 
and  take  no  chances. 

Mr.  Soda- Water  Sam,  his  friend  with  the  enormous  droop- 
ing mustache,  suggesting  the  inverted  horns  of  a  Texas  steer. 
He  seems  sad,  but  is  only  shy — except  with  a  gun.  Just  as 
well  not  forget  that,  either. 

Mr.  Mormon  Peters,  the  venerable  gentleman  in  the 
chair,  now  a  bit  stout  for  saddle-ease.  He's  not  too  high- 
stomached  to  be  high-spirited.  And  the  ladies  are  strong  for 
him,  as  you  might  gather  from  his  monniker. 

And  meet  their  mascot,  Molly.

"/  hold  every  man  a  debtor  to  his  profession, 
from  the  which,  as  men  of  course  do  seek  to 
receive  countenance  and  profit,  so  ought  they  of 
duty  to  endeavor  themselves,  by  way  of  amends, 
to  be  a  help  and  ornament  thereunto." — BACON. 

The  Tariff  Situation 

VERY  carefully  drawn  schedules  which 
would  correct  the  evils  that  are  embodied 
in  the  present  Fordney  Tariff,  have  been 
filed  with  the  Senate  Finance  Committee  at  its 
request  by  John  Macrae,  representing  the  Na- 
tional Association  of  Book  Publishers  and  the 
American  Booksellers'  Association.  Senator 
Smoot  has  acknowledged  the  receipt  of  these 
and  expects  that  these  schedules  will  come  up 
within  the  next  two  or  three  weeks.  In  the 
meantime,  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  book-trade 
realizes  'how  serious  the  situation  is  and  is 
doing  everything  in  its  power  to  make  Con- 
gress realize  that  the  book  schedules  are  of 
vital  importance  to  the  country,  even  if  only 
represented  by  a  small  industry.  Libraries  and 
educational  institutions,  under  the  leadership 
of  Dr.  M.  L.  Raney,  have  also  kept  Wash- 
ington well  informed  of  the  need  of  these 
revisions. 

The  latest  reports  from  those  close  to  the 
Congressional  Committees  indicate  that  they 
are  now  at  rather  a  standstill  as  to  the  method 
of  establishing  the  tariff  rate.  The  Senate 
has  come  out  in  favor  of  levying  duties  on  the 
English  cost  and  is  reported  to  have  begun  to 
revise  the  schedules  to  fit  that  method.  Chair- 
man Fordney  of  the  House,  however,  appeared 
next  day  in  the  paper  with  the  statement  that 
jruch  a  plan  could  never  be  made  acceptable  to 
the  Ways  and  Means  Committee  of  the  House. 
Following  this  impasse  comes  a  statement  from 
Senator  Smoot  that  the  compromise  might  be 
on  the  basis  of  the  American  wholesale  price 
instead  of  on  the  American  valuation.  As  far 
as  the  book  situation  goes,  one  would  be  as 
unfortunate  as  the  other  and  would  mean  a 
doubling  of  the  present  tariff.  If  there  is  any- 
one who  believes  that  the  tariff  schedules  on 
books  need  to  be  doubled  to  protect  American 
industry,  he  has  yet  to  be  heard  from.  Pub- 
lishers and  booksellers  are  contending  for  not 
more  than  twenty  per  cent  duty  and  that  to  be 


levied  on  the  cost  in  the  country  of  exportation. 
Any  increase  on  this  is  a  futile  curtailing  of 
international  trading  and  a  serious  menace  to 
book  use. 

Bookstore  Wages  for  Women 

A  FIRST  step  in  what  ought  to  lead  to  a 
further  detailed  study  of  the  financial 
returns  of  bookselling  as  a  profession 
for  women  is  given  in  a  report  printed  in  this 
week's  issue  on  "Salaries  of  Women  Book 
Salesmen  in  New  York."  This  study  has  been 
made  for  the  Women's  National  Book  Asso- 
ciation by  Rubie  Ley,  recently  connected  with 
the  Liberty  Tower  Bookshop.  From  this 
study,  it  appears  that  salaries  range  from 
$15  to  $35  per  week,  and  that  the  different 
types  of  stores  pay  very  closely  comparable 
rates.  The  average  seems  to  be  albout  $100 
a  month  or  $1200  a  year.  This  amount  should 
prove  to  have  some  fairly  definite  relation 
to  the  total  amount  of  books  sold.  The  fact 
that  several  of  the  houses  have  introduced 
or  are  beginning  to  introduce  the  commission 
system  to  supplement  salaries  shows  that  there 
is  increasing  recognition  of  the  relation  be- 
tween wages  and  sales. 

Retail  business  is  not  like  a  public  office, 
and  the  salaries  must  have  a  sound  relation 
to  the  business  done  or  the  job  is  headed  for 
extinction.  Some  investigators  have  said  that 
eight  per  cent  on  the  sales  was  the  maximum 
of  sailes  salary  that  can  be  carried  along  with 
the  other  selling  expense.  This  would  mean 
that  the  salesman  who  should  receive  $100 
a  month  should  be  selling  in  the  neighbor- 
hood of  $15,000  a  year. 

This  percentage  must  of  necessity  vary  with 
different  types  of  stores.  The  large  store 
with  heavy  advertising  brings  more  people  to 
the  salesman's  side  for  attention  than  the 
small  shop  relying  more  on  the  salesman's 
own  personality  to  bring  the  people  to  the 
store.  This  would  mean  that  in  the  depart- 
ment store  the  percentage  of  sales  salary  per 
$i  of  sales  might  be  less,  but  that  the  total 
salary  might  be  about  the  same.  The  figures 
do  not  have  to  do  with  small  bookshop  own- 
ers, there  having  ibeen  no  effort  made  to 
gather  figures  as  to  the  final  profits  of  book- 
selling which  has  seemed  to  be  working  out 
well  lately  for  owners. 

A  further  study  of  salary  figures  would 
be  of  help  to  the  bookstore  owner  and  to  any- 
one in  the  business  or  expecting  to  enter  it,

and  if  the  Women's  Book  Association  can  get 
further  statistics,  figures  made  from  a  wide 
range  of  stores,  they  would  be  of  real  im- 
portance. 

Newspaper  Pressmen  Walk  Out 

AT  midnight  on  Tuesday,  February  28th, 
the  pressmen  on  the  New  York  daily 
newspapers  ceased  work  by  Union  de- 
cision, and  the  papers  of  that  morning  were 
published  in  8-page  form.  At  2:30  the  Union 
voted  to  return  to  work  and  appoint  a  com- 
mittee of  twelve  to  confer  with  the  news- 
paper publishers,  asking  for  a  modification  of 
the  arbitrator's  decision.  The  walkout  was  not- 
authorized  by  the  National  Union,  and  the 
Jocal  Union  head,  David  Simon,  urged  a  re- 
scinding of  the  Union's  action. 

The  arbitration  decision  that  brought  this 
action  about  had  been  passed  down  by  Judge 
Martin  T.  Manton,  af  the  United  States 
Court  of  Appeals  on  February  2ist.  The 
Union  claimed  that  the  changes  embodied  in 
it  were  so  radical  that  they  must  have  been 
prejudiced.  The  contract  between  the  Union 
and  the  publishers  had  terminated  last  March. 
There  had  been  long  delays  in  the  progress 
of  the  discussion.  At  first  the  publishers 
wanted  a  court  of  arbitration  and  the  Union 
a  single  arbitrator.  Finally  the  publishers 
agreed  to  the  single  arbitrator  plan  and  each- 
side  naimed  a  list  of  arbitrators  to  select  from, 
which  would  (be  satisfactory.  The  selection 
was  finally  delayed  until  January,  when  the 
publishers  accepted  one  on  the  printers'  list, 
Judge  Manton,  as  mentioned  above. 

The  hearings  have  taken  about  a  month  and 
were  published  in  full  in  the  New  York 
Times  of  Thursday,  February  23rd.  There 
was  no  lowering  of  wage  scale,  which  is  $7.50 
to  $8.50  a  day  for  day  work  and  $8.00  to 
$9.00  for  night  work.  From  the  point  of  view 
of  the  employer,  the  shop  conditions  were 
greatly  improved,  and  the  decisions  would 
have  a  bearing  on  other  Union  practice.  The 
production  of  a  newspaper  cannot  be  carried 
on  as  systematically  as  to  hours  as  other 
industries,  especially  in  the  press  room,  and 
the  Union  had  gradually  hedged  the  shops 
around  until  it  had  become  impossible  to  get 
8  hours'  work  for  8  hours'  pay.  Judge  Man- 
ton  decided  that  day  work  could  be  any  8 
consecutive  hours  between  7  A.  M.  and 
7  P.  M.,  and  night  work  any  8  hours  between 
7  P.  M.  and  7  A.  M.  Night  hours  formerly 
were  6,  beginning  at  midnight.  Under  that 
old  system,  if  a  newspaper  called  the  night 


men  in  at  10  o'clock  and  used  them  only  till 
4,  there  was  overtime  for  2  hours  from  10 
to  12  and  a  full  day's  pay  for  the  4  hours 
from  12  to  4. 

Another  important  change  in  the  hours  has 
to  do  with  lunch  hours.  Under  the  old 
arrangement,  all  men  left  the  presses  at  one 
time,  while  it  would  ibe  obvious  commonsense 
to  have  the  hours  made  staggered,  so  that  the 
presses  could  keep  running,  and  this  is  now 
approved.  Another  source  of  annoyance  as  to 
hours  came  about  when  the  night  shift 
worked  a  short  time  after  6  o'clock.  If  the 
presses  should  be  kept  running,  for  example, 
till  6:15,  the  publisher  would  pay  for  a  full 
hour's  overtime  at  time  and  a  half,  and  also 
for  an  extra  half  hour  overtime  on  the  theory 
that  after  the  6  hours'  work  there  should 
have  been  a  half  hour  lunch  hour  allowed. 
This  has  brought  90  minutes  charge  at  time 
and  a  half  wages  for  15  minutes'  work. 

Another  change  has  been  in  the  size  of  the 
crew.  In  every  city  outside  of  New  York, 
the  maximum  crew  on  a  quadruple  press  is  5. 
In  New  York,  Unions  have  insisted  on  6. 
On  a  sextuple  press  in  New  York,  the  crew 
is  7  and  the  maximum  outside  is  6.  The  pub- 
lishers are  now  permitted  to  use  the  same 
size  crew  as  other  newspapers.  New  regu- 
lations also  permit  shifting  workmen  from 
one  press  to  another  in  order  to  insure  effi- 
ciency and  economy  of  operation  as  long  as 
transfer  does  not  reduce  the  number  of  men 
employed  on  any  shift. 

A  Carbon  Paper  Fraud 

THE  trade  is  warned  against  a  man  who 
has  appeared  in  two  or  three  business  offices 
in  New  York,  representing  himself  as  H. 
Shields  from  Batavia,  East  Indies.  This  man, 
representing  himself  as  a  nephew  of  S.  Van 
Kanner,  made  His  last  call  at  Fleming  H. 
Revell  Company,  stating  that  he  wished  to  open 
an  account  and  to  purchase  a  line  of  books  for 
an  East  India  business.  Before  he  left,  he 
mentioned  the  fact  that  he  had  in  his  hotel  a 
large  supply  of  canbon  paper  which  he  had 
bought  but  which  was  not  suitable  for  East 
India  conditions  and  which  he  would  like  to  sell 
at  an  extraordinarily  low  price.  The  Revell 
Company  was  suspicious  of  the  story,  and,  on 
investigation,  found  that  other  firms  had  been 
thus  approached,  in  each  case  the  story  being 
slightly  different  and  the  item  at  the  end  on 
which  money  was  to  be  raised  being  some  other 
commodity.  The  Merchants'  Association  have 
previous  record  of  this  fraud,  and  the  evidence 
has  been  filed  with  the  District  Attorney.

Report  of  Salaries  Paid  Women  in  Bookselling 


THE   \Yoman's   National   Book  Association 
recently  undertook  an  investigation  of  the 
salaries   paid  to  women  in   bookshops  in 
New  York  City.     Rubie  Ley,  formerly  of  the 
Liberty   Tower    Bookshop,   gathered  the   facts 
for  the  Association.     She  says : 

Fifteen  shops  have  been  interviewed.  Four 
of  these  shops  refused  to  give  out  any  figures, 
and  there  was  no  opportunity  to  obtain  them 
from  the  clerks  themselves.  In  the  shops  from 
which  reports  could  be  obtained  the  salaries 
range  from  $15  to  $35  per  week.  Three  of 
these  pay  partly  on  a  commission  basis,  and 
one  will  establish  that  basis.  Experience  seems 
to  count  for  about  $2  in  the  initial  salary  re- 
ceived. The  future  seems  to  depend  on  the 
salesman's  ability  to  work  up  to  the  position 
of  buyer  and  to  put  the  experience  she  has 
gained  dnto  establishing  her  own  shop. 

These  are  the  detailed  statistics,  gathered 
from  New  York  bookshops  : 

(1)  In  one  large  store  about  half  the  sales 
force  are  women.     The  firm  has  never  shown 
any    disinclination  to  hire  women.     They   are 
often    given    charge    of    departments,    and    are 
then  consulted  in  regard  to  all  re-ordering.    In 
at  least  two  instances  the  publisher's  salesman 
does  not  need  to  wait  for  the  head  buyer's  O. 
K.  before  forwarding  an  order.    A  woman  with 
no  bookselling  experience  is  taken  on  at  $18  a 
week,  while  one  who  can  show   any  previous 
work    in    either    library   or   bookshop    is   gtiven 
$20.     The  average   salary  is  $25,    and   several 
women  are  earning  $35.     The  firm  also  pays  a 
commission.      In    Decemiber,    the    commissions 
ranged  from  $10  to  $125. 

(2)  In    a    second    store,    it    was    said    there 
were    few    women   on   the    sales    force    in    the 
retail  shop.     The  manager  stated  that  he  had 
taken  inexperienced  women  onto  the   force  at 
$17   a   week.      Intellectual    background    counts 
more  than  actual   selling.     He  would  give  no 
further  information — that  each  case  was  con- 
sidered separately. 

(3)  The  manager   of    a   third    store    would 
give  no  figures.    He  believed  that  women  were 
poor   salesmen   and  were  excelled   by    men    in 
every  line  of  business.     "Every  woman  should 
work   in   her  own   home,   there    she    is    really 
valuable." 

(4)  At    a   highly    specialized    store,    the    in- 
vestigator was  told  only  women  were  employed. 
The  stock  girls  are  paid  $10.  The  selling  force 
is  usually  recruited  from  these  girls  who  have 
grown  up  in  the  department  and  proved  their 
aibilty.    A  new   person   with   experience  would 
be  taken  on  for  $20.  The  highest  paid  member 
of  the  sales   force  is  receiving  $125  a  month. 

(5)  Another  firm  pays  on  a  straight  salary 


basis.  This  last  year,  a  beginner  was  taken  on 
at  $18,  while  one  with  previous  bookshop  ex- 
perience was  given  $22.50.  The  maxrimuni 
salary  is  usually  considered  to  be  $25,  altho 
one  woman,  whose  splendid  knowledge  of  books 
has  made  her  of  great  value  to  the  firm,  is 
paid  $30. 

(6)  A  sixth  firm,  which  has  a  great  many 
employees,  a  large  number  of  whom  are  women, 
pays  an  inexperienced  woman  $15  a  week.    The 
highest  salary  of  which  the  investigator  could 
learn  is  $22. 

(7)  Intellectual   background  is  also  given  a 
high  rating  at  the  next  store.     The  minimum 
salary  is  $20,  while  the  maximum  is  $30.     The 
advance  between  the  two  extremes  is  dependent 
upon  ability  and  not  long  years  of  service. 

(8)  At   a   shop   which   requires   highly   spe- 
cialized training  of    its  assistants,   it  was   felt 
that  the  salary  ought  to  be  $35  for  the  type  of 
woman  who  must  be  employed. 

(9)  At  a  small  shop  where  an  assistant  is 
needed  for  only  part  of  the  year,  $35  a  week 
has  'been  paid  in  the  past,  but  in  the  future  $25 
with  a  5  per  cent  commission  will  be  paid.    The 
proprietor  believes  that  a  commission  basis  helps 
the  assistant  to  feel  a  real  interest  in  the  shop. 

(10)  Another   firm   with   a   number  of   em- 
ployees pays  an  inexperienced  woman  $18.  while 
$20  is  offered  as  a  start  to  one  who  has  worked 
in    a    library    or    another    bookshop.      If    the 
inexperienced  clerk  is  not  worth  raising  to  $20 
at  the  end  of  the  first  month,  she  is  dropped 
from  the  staff.    $35  is  the  maximum  salary  for 
a  clerk.     There  are  no  commissions. 

(n)  At  one  department  store,  an  ela!x>rate 
commission  basis  has  been  arranged.  The  sal- 
aries range  from  $15  to  $20.  Each  clerk  is 
given  a  quota  which  corresponds  with  her  salary 
and  is  paid  2  per  cent  on  all  sales  above  this 
figure.  This  makes  the  salaries  of  competent 
salesmen  average  between  $25  and  $30  a  week. 
Commissions  are  paid  semi-monthly. 

(12)  At  another  department  store  no  figures 
regarding  salaries  would  be  given  out. 

(13)  At  a  third,  the  book  department  man- 
ager has  been  forbidden  to  give  out  data  re- 
garding salaries.     She  said  many  organizations 
had  asked  facts  on  this  matter  and  she  had  been 
instructed   to   refuse   information.     The   inves- 
tigator was  referred  to  the  general  manager  who 
would  return  to  the  store  about  the  middle  of 
March.      From    other   sources    it   was    learned 
that  women's  salaries  begrin  at  $18  and  a  com- 
mission of  i  per  cent  of  sales  is  paid.

training    is    necessary    for    the    employees    and

being  paid  at  present  to  all  women  employees.

Year-Round  Bookselling  Plans 


THE    Year-tRound    Bookselling    Committee 
'has    prepared    the    following    outline    of 
concentration  points  for  'bookselling  in  the 
next    four    months.      This    outline    gives    the 
special  bookselling  events   in  each  month  and 
many  practical  suggestions  as  to  how  to  plan 
the  events  so  that  they  will  be  most  successful.

The  April  Campaign 

RELIGIOUS  BOOK  WEEK,  April  2-8 — Ministers 
are  among  the  best  advertisers  of  books.  They  be_ 
lieve  so  forcibly  in  the  'books  they  like,  and  they 
have  constant  opportunity  for  discussing  books. 
Be  sure  that  local  ministers'  associations  an- 
nounce the  dates  and  purpose  of  Religious 
Book  Week,  "to  promote  a  wider  interest  in 
religious  books  and  in  religious  education  in 
the  home."  Suggest  that  space  be  given  in 
the  church  calendar  on  April  2d  to  a  list  of 
religious  books,  and  to  announcement  of  book 
talks  and  book  exhibits  during  the  Week. 
Church  clubs  and  classes,  young  people's  socie- 
ties, weekly  prayer  meetings,  the  April  Second 
sermons,  are  all  opportunities  for  talks  about 


the  influence  of  books,  and  about  specific  books. 

Be  sure  that  literary  clubs  meeting  during 
the  Week  have  announcements  of  Religious 
Book  Week,  and  exhibits  of  books  if  desired. 

Get  the  art  stores  to  cooperate  with  religious 
art  displays.  They  will  be  planning  appro- 
priate displays  for  the  Easter  season.  Re- 
prints of  illustrations  from  Bible  stories  for 
children  and  other  art  books  of  religion  can 
be  obtained  from  some  of  the  publishers. 

The  public  library  will  cooperate  with  you 
by  harving  displays  of  books  for  Lenten  read- 
ing, and  books  for  Easter  gifts. 

Displays — Plan  your  displays  and  adver- 
tising to  cover  the  two  weeks  before  Easter, 
featuring  general  religious  books  during  the 
Week  of  April  zd,  and  Bibles,  prayer  books 
and  other  devotional  books  especially  during 
the  week  immediately  preceding  Easter.  Books 
as  Easter  gifts  should  be  emphasized  during 
both  weeks. 

Posters — 'Several  of  the  religious  publishers 
are  sending  the  Religious  Book  Week  poster 
direct  to  churches,  which  will  prepare  the  way 
for  your  advertising.  The  Committee  is  count- 
ing on  you  to  order  posters  for  churches  not 
supplied.  A  streamer,  "Second  Annual  Re- 
ligious Book  Week,  April  2-8"  will  be  sent 
with  each  poster. 

Cards  for  distribution — The  poster  will  be 
reproduced  on  a  card  21A  t>y  5/^  inches,  two 
color,  with  the  following  statement  on  re- 
verse (Space  left  on  reverse  for  dealer's  im- 
print also). 

"It  is  not  enough  for  people  to  read  the 
current  novels  and  magazines.  Religious  fam- 
ilies ought  to  build  up  good  libraries  of  re- 
ligious 'books.  Children  should  be  made  fa- 
miliar with  them;  in  their  youth.  It  is  a 
wholesome  thing  for  every  family  who  cares 
for  the  higher  things  in  life  to  give  attention 
to  the  additions  that  are  made  to  the  home 
library.  This  ought  to  include  something 
more  than  the  incidental,  trivial  and  flippant 
things,  which  too  many  people  are  content  to 
buy  and  read.  If  we  are  to  train  up  a  gen- 
eration capable  of  sustained  thought  and  pos- 
sessed of  strong  convictions,  there  must  be 
some  attention  to  the  selections  and  purchase 
of  good  'books  for  the  home." 

These  cards  are  appropriate  for  distribution 
at  meetings,  in  Y.  M.  C.  A.  and  Y.  W.  C.  A., 
as  bookmarks  in  books  sold,  as  gift  cards  to 
go  with  books,  for  mailing  direct  to  cus- 
tomers, etc. 

The  rcliffious  book  department — In  connec- 
tion with  Religious  Book  Week  in  1921,  several 
book  stores  opened  religious  departments.  At 
least  one  large  department  store  started  a 


March  4,  1922 


541 


religious    book    department,     circularizing    all 
the  ministers   in  the  county  about  the   Week, 
and   the  books   added  to  the   store.     There  is 
profit  in   selling  religious  books.   ' 
Books  as  Easter  Gifts 

The  Easter  gift  band  is  similar  to  the 
Valentine  gift  'band,  27  inches  long,  il/2  inches 
wide  with  white  letters  "Easter  Greetings"  on 
a  purple  background.  These  bands  around 
books  make  effective  window  displays,  and  are 
attractive  left  on  the  book  purchased  as  a 
gift.  Easter  greeting  cards  to  accompany  gifts 
might  be  displayed  and  sold  with  books. 

Religious  books  are  suitable  for  this  dis- 
play, and  also  books  of  essays,  poetry,  arid 
attractive  editions  of  books  on  other  sub- 
jects. 

"Back  to  Nature*'  Books 
April  is  the  month  for  spring  opening  in 
the  ibook  store :  bright  posters,  vases  of  wild 
flowers,  colored  photographs  of  "April"  birds, 
garden  tools,  photographs  of  1921  gardens,  fish- 
ing and  camping  equipment  or  other  displays 
suggestive  of  outdoor  pleasure,  will  be  appro- 
priate as  center  for  the  window.  Books  on 
gardening ;  guide  books  to  birds,  flowers,  trees, 
mushrooms,  stars,  etc. ;  books  on  outdoor 
sports ;  books  of  nature  essays ;  all  these  will 
have  a  pulling  power  with  spring  in  the  air. 
The  poster  shows  a  man  and  two  boys  on  a 
hike  stoppling  to  look  up  a  new  bird  in  a  book 
they  have  carried.  This  poster  will  be  re- 
produced on  3^  by  5jX  cards,  for  dealer's 


imprint  and  distribution.  Appropriate  for  cir- 
cularizing nature  study  clubs,  "Audubon" 
clubs,  etc. 

"Take  Along  a  Book" 

A  window  transparency  for  dealer's  use  is 
being  printed  for  mailing  about  March  I5th. 
This  is  a  circular  cut  sign,  -eight  inches  in 
diameter,  for  application  to  window/  door,  or 
bookcase.  If  the  sign  is  applied  carefully  (di- 
rections furnished  with  each  sign),  ft  Will  stay 
on  the  glass  for  months  without  "curling  or 
washing  off.  Perhaps  the  best  place  for  this 
permanent  sign  is  on  the  door,  below  the  dealer's 
name,  but  high  enough  to  catch  the  attention 
of  the  passer-by.  One  sign  will  be  sent  to  each 
dealer.  Extras  on  request. 

Year-Round  Bookselling  of  International 
Interest 

The  Canadian,  English  and  French  book-trade 
periodicals  have  been  printing  details  of  the 
Year-Round  Bookselling  Campaign  for  several 
months,  in  some  cases  using  cuts  of  the  posters. 
Both  the  Canadian  and  English  Associations  of 
Booksellers  bought  copies  of  the  Children's 
Book  Week  poster  last  fall,  for  distribution 
among  their  members.  Requests  for  the  Year- 
Round  posters  and  circulars  have  reached  the 
Committee  from  booksellers  and  publishers  in 
the  following  countries :  Canada,  England.  Aus- 
tralia, New  Zealand,  France.  Costa  Rica,  Japan, 
India,  South  Africa,  and  Denmark.  Material 
is  being  sent  to  them  regularly. 


Price  Maintenance  Again  to  the  Front 

Booksellers'  Convention  Asked  to  Take  Aggressive  Stand 


THE  problem  of  price  maintenance  in  the 
book-trade,  which  is  apparently  coming  to 
the  front  from  a  good  many  different 
angles,  may  be  made  an  important  subject  of 
discussion  at  the  Washington  Convention  if 
the  Program  Committee  takes  up  the  sugges- 
tion embodied  in  a  statement  addressed  to 
them  by  Charles  E.  Butler,  Chairman  of  the 
Board  of  Trade  of  the  American  Booksellers' 
Association.  Mr.  Butler  points  out  that  the 
Kelly  Bill,  which  seems  to  be  the  only  way  out 
of  the  continual  menace  of  price-cutting,  is 
now  before  Congress  and  that  a  strong  drive 
made  in  May  with  a  national  backing  might 
be  a  wonderful  opportunity  to  put  this  legis- 
lation thru. 

The  plan  for  emphasizing  price  maintenance 
has  received  the  hearty  approval  of  the  Amer- 
ican Fair  Trade  League  whose  secretary  has 
written  "We  believe  that  your  Association  is  in 
a  position  to  strike  a  winning  blow  in  the  long 
campaign." 

Mr.   Butler's  statement  is  as   follows: 


"As  the  Convention  will  be  held  in  the  Cap- 
itol of  the  United  States  we  are  given  as  won- 
derful an  opportunity  as  any  Convention  ever 
had,  if  we  are  alive  to  the  occasion. 

"The  vital  question  today  for  the  book-trade, 
as  well  as  to  a  vast  majority  of  other  mer- 
chants and  producers,  is  protection  against  the 
assaults  of  'price  cutters'  the  country  over, 
who,  under  the  camouflage  of  the  'protection 
of  the  consumer,'  assaril,  impair  or  destroy, 
whomsoever  it  may  be  their  pleasure  and  for 
their  own  benefit,  so  to  treat,  all  of  which  is 
done,  seemingly  under  the  sanction  of  the 
Law. 

"Efforts  have  been  made  and  are  being  made 
to  correct  this  evil,  all  kinds  of  decisions  have 
been  handed  down  by  the  court,  some  favor- 
able, some  otherwise,  until  the  merchants  of 
the  country  are  at  an  utter  loss  as  to  what 
'can  be  done'  and  what  cannot  be  done. 

"To  remedy  this  disastrous  condition,  and  in 
order  that  those  who  desire  to  sell  their  mer- 
chandise, at  standardized  prices,  may  be  author-

ized  to  do  so,  by  the  passage  of  a  law  to  that 
effect  by  Congress  there  'has  been  introduced 
in  the  House  of  Representatives  by  Mr.  Kelly 
of  Pennsylvania,  a  bill — H.  R.  n. 

"To  protect  the  public  against  false  pre- 
tense, in  merchandising — under  trade-mark 
or  special  brand,  of  articles  of  standard 
quality."  Certain  safeguards  and  pro- 
visions being  provided. 

"This  bill  is  on  the  calendar,  and  ready  to  be 
brought  up  when  the  opportunity  offers,  but 
Congress  is  busy,  and  apt  to  be  for  some  time 
to  come. 

"In  the  meantime  the  opportunity  of  the 
book-trade  is  here — we  hold  our  Convention  in 
Washington  in  May.  Why  not  make  this  Con- 
vention a  National  issue,  by  devoting  most  ol 
the  time,  if  not  all,  to  the  biggest  drive  we 
can  make  thruout  the  United  States,  urging 
every  merchant  and  producer  who  wants  to,  to 
join  with  us  in  demanding  of  Congress  the 
passage  of  the  Kelly  Bill,  H.  R.  n. 

"I  believe  such  a  campaign  as  this,  and  such 
a  Convention,  would  bring  the  book-trade  to 
Washington  from  all  parts  of  the  country,  as 
a  patriotic  duty  as  well  as  for  their  own  inter- 
est, all  full  of  fight  and  enthusiasm. 

"Consider  the  opportunity  offered.  Many  of 
the  members  of  Congress  undoubtedly  would 
be  glad  to  support  the  Bill  and  speak  for  lit, 
members  of  the  administration  likewise,  and 
prominent  men  from  elsewhere  bear  in  mind 
that  the  Federal  Trade  Commission  recom- 
mended such  a  bill  to  Congress,  that  the  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  with  thousands  of  members 
all  over  the  country  voted  in  favor  of  such  a 
bill,  that  the  American  Fair  Trade  League, 
with  hundreds  of  prominent  producers  in  its 
membership,  has  fought  in  and  out  of  Con- 
gress, for  such  a  bill,  that  merchants  and  pro- 
ducers all  over  the  country  are  working  hard 
for  government  protection.  Support  could  be 
!had  from  all  of  them  and  from  many  other 
sources. 

"Here  is  a  vast  field  of  opportunity.  Pub- 
licity would  be  ours  almost  without  the  asking, 
from  the  press  correspondents  in  Washington, 
for  they  could  talk  about  a  vital  question  of 
the  day — that  would  be  of  great  interest  to 
their  readers  in  every  part  of  the  country. 

"Will  every  bookseller  and  publisher  bear  in 
mind  that  those  in  opposition  will  mightily  op- 
pose the  Kelly  Bill  for  obvious  reasons?  That 
it  is  therefore  vitally  important  that  members 
of  the  tradCj  who  can,  should  be  in  Washington 
next  May.  Expense  is  no  object  for  the  pos- 
sible gain  in  fair  trading,  with  its  ensuing 
peace  and  contentment  to  all  parties  concerned, 
even  the  opposition. 

"Will  this  brief  outline  appeal  to  members 
of  the  book-trade  ?  Will  booksellers  and 
publishers  wake  up,  and  do  something  for 


themselves?  Will  they  get  together  in  their 
respective  localities,  and  bring  in  all  other  mer- 
chants they  can,  say,  in  the  form  of  a  peti- 
tion and  have  the  petition  ready  for  the 
Convention  ?" 

The  whole  situation  illustrates  the  necessity 
for  the  enactment  of  such  comprehensive  legis- 
lation on  the  subject  as  the  Kelly  Bill  affords. 
This  will  finally  and  definitely  remove  all  ques- 
tions of  economic  and  legal  doubt  from  the 
controversy  and  settle  this  question  much  to 
the  belief  and  permanent  advantage  of  Ameri- 
can business.

Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trade  of  the 
American  Booksellers'  Association. 


Copyright  and  the  Irish  Free  State 

ti'T'HE  Government  of  Ireland  Act,  1920,  ex- 
*  eludes  from  the  legislative  power  of  the 
Irish  Parliaments  'Trade  marks,  designs,  mer- 
chandise marks,  copyright  or  patent  rights,'  and 
as  the  Government  of  Northern  Ireland  is  con- 
stituted under  this  Act,  it  follows  that  the  Six 
Counties  remain  part  of  the  United  Kingdom 
so  far  as  the  Copyright  Act  of  1920  is  con- 
cerned," says  The  London  Bookseller  and  the 
Stationery  Trades'  Journal. 

"But  the  grant  of  Dominion  status  to  the 
South  and  West  of  Ireland  empowers  Dail 
Eireann  to  make  any  laws  it  wishes  on  the 
above  subjects,  thus  the  Copyright  Act  of  1910 
will  not  be  applicable  to  the  South  and  West. 

The  Copyright  Act  of  1710  afforded  protec- 
tion onily  in  Great  Britain  until  the  Act  of 
Union  in  1801  extended  the  operation 
of  the  law  across  St.  George's  Channel. 
Between  the  years  1/09  and  1801  many  incon- 
veniences were  experienced  by  British  authors 
and  publishers. 

"What  will  be  the  result  of  Dominion  status 
for  the  greater  part  of  Ireland,  and  of  govern- 
ment under  the  Act  of  1920  for  the  Six  Coun- 
ties of  Ulster.  In  the  absence  of  special  legis- 
lation it  would  appear  that  any  book  or  design 
copyrighted  in  Great  Britain  will,  after  the  set- 
ting up  of  the  Irish  Free  State,  remain  the 
copyright  of  the  author  (or  other  owner  under 
the  Act)  in  the  Six  Counties,  but  will  cease 
to  enjoy  protection  in  the  greater  part  of  Ire- 
land. 

"These  matters  deserve  immediate  attention, 
and  action  is  required  to  prevent  the  infringe- 
ment of  the  various  rights  accorded  by  the 
Copyright  Act  of  1910.

English  Book-Trade  News 

From  our  London  Correspondent 


"THERE  is  to  be  a  big  Book  Fair  at  Flor- 
*  ence,  Italy,  in  May,  June,  and  July  of  this 
year.  In  the  course  of  an  excellent  letter 
dealing  with  the  scheme,  issued  by  the  British 
Italian  Commercial  Association,  the  Committee 
says : 

The  demand  for  British  books  is  increasing. 
Dreary  years  in  the  trenches  have  taught  young 
Italy  to  read,  unknown  Italian  authors  have 
now  as  many  edfitions  sold  as  only  well-known 
writers  could  hope  for  before  the  war,  and  a 
great  part  of  the  pre-war  demand  for  German 
books  has  given  way  to  a  desire  for  English 
books.  If  this  demand  has  not  yet  become 
effective  the  fault  probably  lies  in  our  insuffi- 
cient knowledge  of  the  Italian  book  market. 
The  Italian  wants  cheap  editions  of  our  classics 
in  paper  covers,  he  does  not  want  the  latest  book 
at  IDS.  6d,  If  our  publishers  have  stocks  of 
our  classics  unbound  they  migiht  with  advantage 
offer  them  at  the  Book  Fair  in  paper  covers. 

But  there  is  also  an  expanding  market  for 
expensive  books.  Last  spring  foreigners  visited 
Italy  in  very  great  numbers ;  the  "foreign  visi- 
tors" department  of  Government,  formed  in 
1919,  has  .improved  traveling  conveniences, 
and  Florence  will  have  a  crowded  spring  sea- 
son; many  of  that  crowd,  mostly  English  speak- 
ing Americans,  will  visit  the  Book  Fair ;  the 
Italian  exchange  will  not  affect  their  purchase 
and  they  will  be  attracted  by  your  newest  books. 

The  tenth  annual  dinner  of  the  International 
Association  of  Antiquarian  Booksellers  was  held 
at  the  Criterion,  London,  on  January  26th, 
with  the  President,  F.  W.  Chaundy,  in  the 
chair.  Among  the  guests  were:  Major  John 
Hay  Beath  ("Ian  Hay"),  J.  C.  Squire,  editor 
of  the  London  Mercury,  and  Hugh  Walpole. 

Says  a  writer  in  the  London  Daily  Mirror: 
John  Masefield  is  hard  at  work  on  his  offi- 
cial history  of  Haig's  army.  He  has  recently 
translated  a  play  by  Racine,  of  which  he  and 
his  wife,  with  others,  gave  a  private  perform- 
ance. He  lives  at  "Poets'  Corner,"  which  is 
as  near  as  I  may  go  to  his  address,  for  he  is 
a  shy  man — more  so  than  Barrie — and  would 
not  thank  me  for  "giving  him  away." 

American  students  at  Oxford,  one  of  them 
tells  me,  like  to  go  to  Masefield  Sunday  after- 
noon "tea  fights."  The  poet  says  nothing 
about  poetry,  but  a  lot  about  ships,  fox  hunt- 
ing, boxring.  crops,  and,  especially,  Anglo- 
American  friendship. 

In  a  report  of  fiction  best  sellers  that  has 
just  come  to  hand,  we  notice  that  in  the  twelve 
representative  cities  quoted,  Mr.  Hutchinson's 
"If  Winter  Comes,"  is  first  on  the  list  in 
crcry  case. 


T.  H.  Sofield,  a  director  of  G.  P.  Putnam's 
Sons,  Limited,  London,  is  visiting  America  for 
a  sojourn  of  a  few  weeks. 

A  titbit  for  the  after-holiday  period:  "I 
heard,"  said  a  well-known  paragraphist  the 
other  day,  "that  thirteen  unlucky  London  pub- 
lishers declined  'Tarzan  of  the  Apes'  before 
it  was  accepted  by  Messrs.  Methuen." 

The  price  of  reprints  is  lowering.  This  is 
a  good  sign.  But  we  believe  it  has  come  about 
by  reason  of  the  large  stocks  held  by  certain 
reprint  publishers,  and  it  may  be  that  rather 
than  lose  the  whole,  it  was  wiser  to  turn  over 
a  sale  at  a  minimum  of  profit,  or  at  exact  cost. 
Certainly,  costs  of  materials  that  go  into  the 
making  of  a  book  have  not  lowered  sufficiently 
to  justify  a  reduction  of  the  published  prices 
of  reprints.  Moreover,  it  is  a  fact  that  tens 
of  thousands  of  reprints  have  recently  flooded 
the  remainder  market,  and  good  titles  at  that. 
It  is  the  same  everywhere.  With  falling  costs, 
slow  tho  the  fall  may  be,  it  has  become  a 
necessity  on  all  trades  to  clear  out  the  high 
priced  stock  to  make  way  for  the  new  material 
at  current  prices. 

"I  wish  my  body  on  no  account  to  be  cre- 
mated ....  and  I  beg  of  my  friends  of  their 
charity  from  time  to  time  to  pray  for  my  soul," 
is  a  direction  in  the  will  of  Alexander  Louis 
Teixeira  de  Mattos,  the  notable  author  and 
translator,  formerly  editor  of  Dramatic  Opin- 
ions. He  left  £2831.  He  gave  his  ivory- 
knobbed  walking-stick  to  Stephen  McKenna, 
the  author,  a  set  of  Poe's  works  to  J.  T.  Grein, 
the  dramatic  critic,  and  Walpole  letters  to  G. 
W.  Russell,  the  well-known  solicitor.  There 
is  a  touch  of  humor,  says  the  Evening  News,  in 
the  gift  of  a  book  to  a  certain  friend.  He 
describes  the  book  as  one  "which  he  (the 
friend)  borrowed  many  years  ago  and  has  never 
returned."  This  is  a  new  and  grim  joke  on 
borrowers. 

Referring  to  his  hobby  of  book-collecting, 
Hugh  Walpole  at  a  d>inner  recently  said  he 
did  not  know  when  he  became  a  collector, 
but  he  remembered  that  when  ten  years  of  age 
he  had  a  sudden  desire,  almost  an  agony,  to 
possess  a  copy  of  Sir  Walter  Scott's  "The 
Abbot."  There  was  a  very  fine  copy 
in  a  bookshop  in  his  native  town,  but  he 
had  not  the  money  with  whiich  to  purchase  the 
volume.  He  decided  to  endeavor  to  exchange 
an  autographed  volume  of  his  father's  sermons 
for  the  coveted  book.  The  old  bookseller,  on 
examining  the  book  of  sermons,  took  him 
aside,  and  gave  him  a  little  lecture  on  fathers, 
sons,  and  books,  and  then  generously  presented 
him 'with  the  copy  of  "The  Abbot."  (Cheers.)

Learning  from  the  Customer 

By  Irving  Allen 


IN  few  businesses  ;is  there  such  a  measure 
of  discriminating  taste  and  learning  brought 
by  the  customer  to  the  selection  of  goods 
as  in  the  retail  book  business.  This  is  at  once 
the  despair  of  many  sales  people  and  the 
opportunity  of  others.  Probably  in  few  other 
businesses  is  the  buyer  likely  to  be  better  in- 
formed on  the  wlhole  about  the  thing  he 
wants.  This  arises  out  of  the  peculiarities 
of  bookselling,  and  is  no  reflection  on  the 
knowledge  of  the  clerk.  Anyone  who  can 
speak  authoritatively  in  all  the  fields  ot 
science,  literature,  economics,  art  and  other 
departments  of  knowledge  that  books  cover 
is  yet  to  be  found.  But  it  is  the  bookman's 
vocation  to  be- -interested  in  all  these  subjects 
and  to  meet  partially  the  specialized  knowl- 
edge of  the  well  informed  customer. 

For  the  clerk  may  learn  from  specialists  in 
a  dozen  fields.  Especially  is  this  true  in  our 
metropolitan'  cities  and  centers  of  learning 
where  specialists  are  to  be  found  browsing 
among  books.  While  anyone  may  select  their 
ties  or  Stationery  for  them,  they  like  to  choose 
their  books  themselves.  The  possibility  of 
waiting  on  these  people  without  knowing  who 
they  are  should  compel  an  attitude  of  genuine 
intellectual  humility  on  the  part  of  the  clerk. 
For  he  might  be  talking  to  Will  Irwin  urging 
the  purchase  of  "The  Next  War"  (as  one 
clerk  actually  did)  or  to  Booth  Tarkington 


without  guessing  his  identity.  Imagine  wait- 
ing on  Christopher  Morley  or  William  Mc- 
Fee,  and  letting  him  slip  out  with  hardly  a 
word  about  books ! 

Now  that  is  not  likely  to  occur  very  fre- 
quently. Yet  in  every  town  there  are  excep- 
tionally well-read  persons  of  taste  and  crit- 
ical ability.  They  are  sources  of  information 
and  criticism,  if  the  salesman  will  only  listen 
and  indicate  that  he  is  anxious  for  the  cus- 
tomer's point  of  view.  This  is  not  crude 
flattery  nor  obsequiousness,  but  springs  from 
a  desire  to  grow  and  learn.  Soon  the  book- 
seller will  find  himself  developing  discrimina- 
tion, good  taste,  and  information.  This  singu- 
lar joy  is  part  of  the  bookselling  game.  And 
such  an  attitude  on  the  part  of  salesmen 
would  go  far  to  lift  their  status  before  the 
public. 

Added  to  these  daily  contacts  a  sustained 
reading  of  the  important,  influential  books 
continually  appearing  together  with  hand- 
books about  books  such  as  Strachey's  "Land- 
marks in  French  Literature."  Chesterton's 
''Victorian  Age  in  Literature."  and  Maurice 
Baring's  "Russian  Literature,"  all  of  which 
are  in  the  Home  University  Library,  would 
make  one  grow  steadily  in  the  possibilities  of 
service  and  profit.  The  book  business  offers 
th;s  unique  opportunity  of  rich  contacts  for 
all  who  are  wise  enough  to  grasp  it. 


Old  Books  Which  Hold  Their  Own 


r___,  HE  February  18  issue  of  the  Independent 
I  aitfl  the  Weekly  Review  was  an  Old  Book 
•*•  Number.  An  interesting  feature  was  a 
discussion  by  some  of  the  important  book  pub- 
lishers of  the  books,  favorites  of  an  older  gen- 
eration, which  are  still  being  reprinted  because 
of  an  enduring  popular  demand.  George 
Haven  Putnam  wrote  of  some  of  the  old  hooks 
on  the  Putnam  list  which  are  still  in  demand. 
The  list  included :  "Tabular  Views  of  Uni- 
versal History"  published  by  Mr.  Putnam's 
father  in  1832,  and  kept  in  print  since  that 
date  with  the  necessary  revisions  by  Major 
Putnam ;  the  works  of  Washington  Irving,  first 
printed  under  the  Putnam  imprint  in  1848,  with 
some  of  the  more  important  works  brought  into 
print,  earlier,  from  117  on;  the  works  of  Feni- 
more  Cooper  have  carried  the  Putnam  imprint 
since  1854.  As  far  back  as  1850,  G.  P.  Putnam 
brought  out  the  first  American  editions  of 
George  Barrow,  still  issued  by  Putnams. 


"Views  Afoot"  by  Bayard  Taylor  was  pub- 
lished in  1848  and  still  finds  a  circle  of  read- 
ers. In  1884  the  Putnam  house  brought  out 
Theodore  Roosevelt's  "History  of  the  Naval 
War  in  1812." 

George  P.  BVett,  president  of  Macmillan  Co., 
records  his  first  publication  venture  when  he 
came  to  the  firm,  the  publication  of  a  book 
still  in  favor. 

"The  first  Macmillan  book  with  whose  pub- 
lication 1  was  directly  concerned  was  F.  Mar- 
ion Crawford's  first  novel.  His  uncle,  Sam 
Ward,  a  well-known  Washington  publicist. 
raconteur,  and  ban  vivant,  came  to  buy  books 
from  me  when  I  was  a  retail  salesman  in  Mac- 
millan and  Co.'s  shop  down  on  Bond  Street. 
One  day,  in  the  course  of  conversation,  he  said 
that  his  nephew  had  written  a  book  and  I  must 
hear  it  read.  So  I  went  with  him  one  evening 
to  listen  to  the  story  of  'Mr.  Isaacs.'  I  was 
enthusiastic  about  the  book  and  urged  the  Lon-

don  house  to  print  it,  being  certain  that  we 
could  dispose  of  a  large  edition.  They  took  it, 
but  very  skeptically,  and  for  the  first  few 
months  the  sale  in  America  was  very  poor. 
Then  in  a  single  day,  for  no  apparent  reason, 
it  began  to  go  so  fast  that  we  could  not  keep 
it  in  stock,  and  quickly  ran  a  sale  of  100,000. 
The  continued  demand  for  his  works  led  to 
the  publication  of  a  new  uniform  edition  in 
1919,  called  the  Sorrento  Edition." 

John  McCrae,  Vice-President  of  E.  P. 
Button  &  Co.,  after  discussing  titles  in  the 
Everyman's  Library  which  have  enjoyed  a 
wide  circulation  for  years,  writes : 

"The  writer  of  this  article  feels  that  more 
good  books  are  being  written  today  than  ever 
before  in  the  history  of  man ;  and  that  in  the 
years  before  us  some  of  the  writers  now 
stormed  at  and  denounced  as  immoral,  or  in- 
capable of  writing  true  literature  will  be  among 
the  immortals  of  this  generation.  Often  books, 
like  men,  are  ahead  of  the  time,  and  the  author 
spends  his  time  in  writing  for  the  joy  of  the 
generations  to  follow.  Not  many  years  ago 
Samuel  Butler  wrote  'The  Way  of  All  Flesh.' 
Not  so  many  as  600  copies  were  sold  at  that 
time.  Some  few  years  ago  we  reprinted  this 
wonderful  book.  Slowly  the  men  of  our  gen- 
eration sensed  the  value  of  that  splendid  novel ; 
and  now,  year  after  year,  the  book  sells,  one 
edition  follows  another.  We  have  had  similar 
experience  with  W.  H.  Hudson's  'The  Purple 
Land.' " 

Sell  A  Book  A  Minute 

4  ( I  N  sprite  of  the  generally  admitted  fact  that 
I  1921  was  a  non-fiction  year  there  was  quite 
a  galaxy  of  1>iig  advertising  campaigns 
over  yonder  in  connection  with  certain 
novels,"  says  The  London  Bookseller  and 
Hie  Stationery  Trades'  Journal.  It  is  ob- 
viously coming  to  be  recognized,  and  very 
quickly  too,  that  commercial  methods  have  got  to 
be  drawn  upon  if  more  books,  and  particularly 
novels,  are  to  be  sold.  And  when  we  use  the 
word  commercial,  we  do  not  clothe  it  with  any 
theatrical  or  melodramatic  dress.  Surely  it  is 
possible  to  make  'book  publicity  at  once  efficient 
and  far  reaching,  as  well  as  tasteful.  The  old 
ideal  of  the  severe  and  dull  announcement  must 
and  will  go.  Those  of  us  who  have  been  watch- 
ing the  evolution  of  publishing  in  all  its  aspects, 
here  and  in  America,  realise  that  this  as  a 
definite  fact.  And  some  American  publishers 
are  facing  the  problem  very  deliberately,  while 
here  and  there  in  England  there  'is  a  glimpse 
of  the  revolution  in  this  particular  side  of  pub- 
lishing. Concerted  campaigns  for  the  popular- 
ising of  the  book  are  all  to  the  good,  and  the 
National  Association  of  Book  Publishers,  of 


New  York,  and  the  American  Library  Asso- 
ciations are  striding  thro  the  country  with  no 
uncertain  voice.  But  'Buy  a  Book  a  Week' 
campaigns  are  ineffective,  or  at  least  only  fifty 
per  cent  in  operation,  if  there  is  not  coordina- 
tion between  die  organizations,  and  the  publisher 
and  bookseller.  The  'Buy  a  Book  a  Week' 
slogan  should  be  supplemented  in  the  bookstore 
with  'Sell  a  Book  a  Minute.'  There  is  just 
as  much,  perhaps  there  is  more,  responsibility 
on  the  part  of  the  assistant  to  sell  as  there  is 
on  the  part  of  the  public  to  buy.  And  in  the 
publishing  office  there  should  be  a  getting  to- 
gether and  a  frank  examination  of  the  selling 
methods.  Certainly,  the  bare  announcement  of 
title,  author  and  price,  with  a  nicely  selected 
bit  from  a  good  review  will  sell  a  copy  or  so ; 
but  what  publicity  should  do  is  to  sell  hundreds 
of  copies.  Don't  let  us  'be  too  snobbish  about 
the  soap  manufacturer's  methods.  We  have 
heard  it  now  for  more  than  thirty  years — but 
still  he  has  sold  his  soap,  made  his  millions, 
and  been  raised  to  a  peerage.  And  why  not? 
He  has  been  a  good  citizen.  On  the  other 
hand,  we  don't  need  such  methods  in  our  pro- 
fession. What  we  do  need,  however,  is  the 
soap  manufacturer's  imagination.  And  it  is 
with  us ;  for  we  doubt  whether  any  other  busi- 
ness is  staffed  so  completely  with  educated  and 
trained  minds  as  publishing.  In  America  they 
are  realising  the  need  of  a  new  effort  to  per- 
suade the  public  to  buy  'books.  Of  course, 
their  field  is  large,  and  therefore  the  oppor- 
tunity is  greater. 

"It  is  most  encouraging  that  so  many  serious 
books,  all  of  such  brilliancy,  should  have  been 
so  freely  'bought,  and  this  condition  of  current 
literature  may  surely  be  traced  to  the  ener- 
getic campaigns  of  the  publishers  and  the  A.L. 
A.,  all  of  which  have  been  so  heartily  backed 
by  the  bookseller.  It  is  clear,  even  at  this  early 
date,  that  the  cruse  of  enterprise  for  this  year 
is  not  only  goring  to  be  very  full,  but  it  is"  going 
to  run  completely  over.  Schemes,  and  big  ones, 
are  all  ready  in  many  cases,  while  others  are  in 
the  making,  for  a  big  push  forward  in  the 
interests  of  popularizing  literature,  and  if 
costs  of  production  break,  as  they  are  tending 
to  do.  1922  should  be  a  great  year  in  the  annals 
of  American  publishing." 

Romantic  Book  of  Etiquette 

NOT  that  the  revered  "Book  of  Etiquette"  is 
without  romantic  interest.  "My  dear  Miss 
Johnson."  reads  a  sample  Invitation  to  the 
Opera,  "I  have  been  fortunate  enough  to  obtain 
a  box  in  the  parquet,  where  the  eight  of  us 
who  will  compromise  the  party  will  be  com- 
fortably seated."

Reminiscences  of  a  Book  Scout 

By  Joseph  Jewett  Barton 

VI.    How  Disaster  Was  Turned  To  Victory 


THIS  might  properly  be  called  "The  Tale 
of  the  Sink,  or,  How  Disaster  was  Turned 
to  Victory." 

I  used  to  advertise  in  the  South  Brooklyn 
papers,  those  little  sheets  that  every  housewife 
gets  to  keep  up  on  the  neighborhood  gossip. 
As  an  advertising  medium  they  were  quite  satis- 
factory; I  would  save  the  replies  until  I  had 
about  twenty-five  to  thirty,  arrange  them  in 
routes  and  then  have  a  visiting  day.  Of  course 
three-fourths  of  them  were  blanksj  they  evi- 
dently thought  I  was  a  junkman;  in  the  other 
quarter  about  two  would  be  old  attics.  I  am 
very  fond  of  old  attics ;  not  as  an  abiding  place, 
I  never  got  as  deep  as  that  into  produc- 
ing literature;  but  as  repositories  of  relics  of 
by-gone  days,  especially  books  and  prints. 

One  particularly  lucky  day  sticks  in  my  mind ; 
my  route  was  south  along  the  Fifth  Avenue  car 
line  from  the  Atlantic  Avenue  station,  and  I 
stopped  first  on  Eleventh  Street,  then  Four- 
teenth, Seventeenth,  and  several  other  places 
but  found  nothing  worth  taking  along  until  I 
got  into  the  thirties.  On  one  of  these  streets 
just  west  of  Fifth  Avenue  a  nice  little  old 
lady  said  she  had  quite  a  number  of  old  .books 
out  in  the  woodshed  and  perhaps  I  might  find 
something  I  wanted.  They  were  of  no  use  to 
her  as  her  children  had  all  grown  up  and 
moved  away  and  there  was  only  her  husband 
and  herself,  and  John  was  too  tired  when  he 
came  home  to  read  anyway  and  she  herself  was 
getting  a  little  old  and  her  eyes  were  not  what 
they  used  to  be  and  I  might  as  well  have  them 
as  anybody  else,  as  she  was  thinking1  she  would 
be  giving  them  to  the  hospital  or  the  Salvation 
Army  and  one  of  her  daughters  now  lived  in 
Marietta,  Ohio,  and  John  Junior  was  too  busy 
running  after  the  girls  and  if  I  would  just  come 
out  thru  the  kitchen  if  I  didn't  mind,  it  was 
the  easiest  way  to  the  woodshed. 

I  didn't  mind,  and  the  woodshed  was  a  nice, 
orderly,  clean  woodshed,  too;  I  spent  a  very 
pleasant  hour  or  so  sorting  the  sheep  from 
the  goats,  and  gathered  a  few  nice  books.  There 
were  "Leaves  of  Grass"  8vo  green  cloth  Wash. 
1872,  a  scarce  edition;  the  "Life  and  Corres- 
pondence of  Paul  Jones,"  N.  Y.  1830;  a  bound 
volume  of  Anti-Slavery  reviews  and  pamphlets 
of  various  dates  in  the  thirties  and  forties,  a 
number  of  them  by  Whittier;  "The  United 
States  Criminal  Calendar"  8vo  lithographed 
boards,  Ills.  Boston  1835;  a  Copperhead 
pamphlet  entitled  "Narrative  of  Edmund 
Wright,  His  Adventures  with  and  Escape  from 
the  Knights  of  the  Golden  Circle,"  8vo  Ills. 
N.  Y.  1864.  There  were  also  several  first  edi- 
tions of  Washington  Irving  and  J.  K.  Pauld- 
ing.  From  my  point  of  view  it  was  quite  a 
satisfactory  woodshed  and  that  volume  of 
pamphlets  turned  out  far  better  than  I  had 
guessed  at  first  sight. 


I  could  not  reconcile  the  books  with  the  peo- 
ple who  owned  them,  so  I  inquired  diplomatic- 
ally as  to  their  history,  and  it  seems  that  John 
had  been  coachman  or  gardener  or  something, 
to  an  old  Brooklyn  family  by  the  name  af 
Barkaloo  who  I  believe  was  allied  to  the  Ber- 
gens,  and  the  books  had  been  given  when  the 
Barkaloo  old  home  was  sold. 

I  used  to  look  at  a  prospect's  house  and  its 
surroundings  and  say  to  myself,  "there  is 
nothing  in  my  line  here,  what's  the  use  of 
ringing  the  bell,"  'but  years  have  changed  my 
views  and  I  now  say  "where  you  expect  to 
find  them  they  ain't"  and  vice  versa.  All  signs 
fail  when  book-hunting. 

So  later  on  this  same  day  in  a  house  in  one 
of  the  forties  I  was  invited  to  come  to  the 
cellar,  and  in  a  soap  box  there  the  only  book 
among  a  lot  of  paper  bindings  by  Laura  Jean 
Libby,  Garvice  and  Bertha  Clay,  was  a  nice 
copy  of  the  first  edition  of  the  "Estray,"  a 
Collection  of  poems  edited  by  Longfellow,  in 
the  original  yellow  glazed  boards,  uncut,  paper 
lalbel,  Boston  1847.  That  certainly  was  a 
queer  combination,  and  think  of  the  anguish 
that  book  must  have  suffered  in  such  company. 

On  Sixty-Third  Street,  my  last  stop,  I  was 
shown  a  choice  line  of  Colliers'  publications  in 
sets,  and  their  owner  seemed  to  be  very  much 
disgusted  because  I  declined  to  be  interested  in 
their  purchase.  After  she  told  me  how  much 
she  had  paid  for  them,  that  they  were  as  good 
as  new,  and  that  she  didn't  see  why  I  couldn't 
sell  them,  I  thanked  her  for  her  courtesy  in 
letting  me  look  at  them,  and  was  about  to  bid 
her  good  afternoon,  at  the  same  time  reflecting 
that  this  had  not  been  a  perfect  day  by  a  great 
deal. 

Instead  I  turned  to  her,  perli?^  entreatingly, 
with  the  query :  "Haven't  you  any  other  books 
anywhere^"  and  she  replied  with  a  half  laugh 
that  there  were  a  few  childrens'  books  out  in 
the  kitchen  in  a  cupboard  under  the  sink. 

Up  on  the  second  shelf  to  the  northeast, 
out  of  danger  from  any  water  that  might  drip 
into  the  sink.  I  found  "Liberty  Tree,  with  the 
last  words  of  Grand-father's  Chair"  by  Mr. 
Hawthorne,  first  edition,  24010,  original  black 
embossed  cloth,  with  the  paper  label  in  gold 
and  black  on  the  side,  Boston  1841.  This  copy 
evidently  had  not  appealed  to  the  children  of 
its  day,  or  later  days. 

I  do  not  believe  it  had  ever  been  opened,  and 
the  rare  book  department  of  one  of  New  York's 
largest  publishing  houses  had  a  valued  woman 
customer  who  was  waiting  for  this  particular 
book.  It  is  a  good  thing  that  books  outside 
of  their  printed  words,  do  not  talk.  Think  of 
it!  From  the  cubby-hole  under  the  sink,  to  a 
Velvet-lined  solander  case  in  Central  Park 
West.  Undoubtedly  books  have  souls,  and  how 
like  a  Redeemer  I  must  have  seemed  to  many

a  one.  I  have  washed  away  a  multitude  of  sins, 
with  gasoline,  alcohol,  ammonia  and  javelle 
water.  I  have  steamed,  pressed  and  ironed. 
Each  one  of  us  has  his  niche  in  the  world, 
some  save  men  or  themselves,  others  make  love 
to  beautiful  women,  and  some  not  so  beautiful; 
but  if  you  or  I  save  from  the  paper  mill  or 
rescue  from  ignorant,  unappreciative  hands 
some  choke  little  item,  rehabilitate  if  necessary, 
and  send  it  forth  again,  fit  to  fight  another 
hundred  years,  or  better  still,  find  it  a  good 
home,  will  we  not  in  some  sort  of  a  book  heaven 
get  our  reward 

Incidentally,  some  ido  all  this  and  reap 
a  little  reward  here.  I  had  a  friend  down  in 
North  Carolina  who  picked  up  from  the  jani- 
tor's sweepings  of  the  State  House  at  Raleigh, 
the  Acts  of  the  Assembly  for  1751,  unbound; 
and  after  he  had  ironed  and  cleaned,  valued  it 
at  $500  with  no  desire  to  sell  at  any  price. 
This  reminds  me  of  a  story  I  once  heard  about 
a  well-known  law  book  dealer,  who,  under  the 
pretence  of  being  a  paper  dealer,  even  had  some 
business  cards  printed  to  that  effect;  bought 
a  carload  of  old  Acts  and  Records  from  the 
janitor  of  another  State  House,  and  routed 
the  car  around  several  states  so  nobody  could 
trace  it,  until  even  the  Car  Accountant's  office 
thought  it  had  left  for  Europe.  The  story  runs 
on  to  the  effect  that  the  contents  of  that  car 
eventually  brought  over  fifty  thousand  dollars. 
But  how  does  that  sort  of  thing  sound  to  you  ?

State  of  Missouri.  The  press  thruout  the 
state  showed  marked  interest.  Of  special 
importance  in  signifying  the  public  interest  in 
the  occasion  was  the  proclamation  from  the 
governor.  This  proclamation  not  only  gave 
official  weight  to  what  the  Committee  was  do- 
ing, but  stated  iin  an  effective  way  the  impor- 
tance of  books  to  every  community. 

GOVERNOR'S   PROCLAMATION 
State  of  Missouri  Executive  Department 

WHEREAS,  the  prosperity  and  welfare  of  the 
people  depend  to  a  large  degree  upon  education 
not  only  thru  schools,  but  also  thru  Public 
Libraries  and  other  agencies  for  the  promotion 
of  wider  reading  of  good  books,  and 

WHEREAS,  to  the  end  that  the  value  of  books 
and  libraries  be  more  generally  recognized, 
that  the  citizens  of  the  State  may  acquaint 
themselves  more  thoroly  with  the  advantages 
and  needs  of  public  libraries  and  in  communi- 
ties wfithout  libraries  that  attention  be  given  to 
the  need  for  their  establishment,  and 

WHEREAS,  it  is  fitting,  especially  at  the 
time  of  Lincoln's  Birthday  to  give  thought  to 
the  significance  of  books  in  the  lives  of  men, 
knowing  as  we  do  the  effect  of  good  books  in 
the  life  of  this  great  American, 


Now,  THEREFORE,  I,  Hiram  Lloyd,  Acting 
'Governor  of  the  State  of  Missouri,  by  virtue 
of  the  authority  in  me  vested,  do  hereby  desig- 
nate the  days  of  February  I2th  to  February 
i8fh,  1922,  as  days  to  be  observed  as  Missouri 
Book  Week,  and  would  recommend  that  teach- 
ers, during  this  week,  impress  upon  the  child- 
ren the  value  of  good  reading  and  that  minis- 
ters bring  out  in  their  sermons  the  influence  of 
good  reading  on  the  moral  and  civic  advance- 
ment of  the  individual  and  the  state. 

Given  under  my  hand  and  the  great  seal  of 
the  State  at  the  Capitol  in  Jefferson  City,  this 
the  first  day  of  February,  in  the  year  of  Our 
Lord  One  Thousand  Nine  Hundred  and  Twenty 
Two. 

(Signed)   Hiram  Lloyd,  Acting  Governor. 
By  the  Governor, 

(Signed)  Charles  U.  Becker, 
Secretary  of  State. 

Among  the  important  cooperative  efforts  was 
the  leading  editorial  in  the  St.  Louis  Globe 
Democrat,  which  pointed  out  the  specific  needs 
in  Missouri  for  wider  book  distribution  and 
emphasized  the  importance  of  the  new  legis- 
lation that  had  been  passed  in  1921  which  was 
designed  to  permit  community  organization  for 
a  library. 

The  State  Committee  included  V.  W.  Lucas 
of  the  Missouri  Stores  Company,  Columbia, 
Misssouri. 

Indiana  is  following  on  April  23d  with  an 
Indiana  Library  Week,  placing  the  emphasis 
on  library  use  of  books  rather  than  on  the 
books  themselves.  The  campaign,  however,  is 
putting  a  strong  emphasis  on  the  need  of  more 
books  as  well  as  more  general  support  for  lib- 


Scouts  and  Books 

THE  active  work  of  Chief  Scout  Librarian, 
Franklin  K.  Mathiews,  in  interesting"  the 
Scout  Executives  in  the  various  cities  more 
keenly  in  the  problem  of  boys'  reading  has 
brought  forward  many  good  results  and  from 
numerous  cities  have  come  interesting  derails 
of  activities.  As  an  example,  J.  A.  Sessions, 
Scout  Executive  of  Sault  Sainte  Marie,  writes 
to  the  Scout  headquarters : 

"We  have  put  into  circulation  all  the  book- 
lists provided,  and  the  bookstores  report  that 
they  are  practically  sold  out  of  their  stock  of 
the  recommended  books,  and  that  they  feel  this 
extra  publicity  did  a  great  deal  of  good  in  a 
business  way,  tho  general  holiday  business  was 
lighter  than  usual.  The  Carnegie  Library  re- 
ports more  calls  for  these  books  by  the  boys 
and  their  parents  than  for  any  other  children's 
books.  Our  effort  was  just  a  humble  one,  but 
we  cannot  help  but  feel  very  much  pleased 
with  the  result."

The  Publishers'  Weekh 


Anglo-American  Publishing 

"THE  following  paragraphs  recently  appeared 
*  in  the  London  Graphic,  about  the  ever 
closer  relations  -between  English  and  American 
publishers,  predicting  a  future  when  English 
and  American  authors  would  write  for  this 
large  comibined  public. 

"Publishing  houses  are  the  business  expres- 
sion of  literature,  and  some  of  those  of  Eng- 
land and  America  have  sown  their  activities  on 
both  sides  of  the  Atlantic :  Macmillan,  Long- 
man's, Putnam,  Harper  and  others.  They  go 
forward  as  they  have  done,  and  a  new  move- 
ment, somewhat  different  in  character,  has  arisen 
in  Anglo-American  publishing.  It  is  illustrated 
by  the  immediate  news  that  the  house  of  John 
Lane  in  New  York  has  been  taken  over  by 
the  New  York  house  of  Dodd,  Mead,  which 
found  America's  winter  "/best  seller"  in  Mr. 
Hutchinson's  "If  Winter  Comes,"  (sic!)  and 
that  John  Lane  in  London  and  Dodd,  Mead  in 
New  York  are  to  act  in  consort.  This  means 
a  good  deal  in  a  literary  way,  for  one  firm 
will  have  the  pick  and  choice  of  the  other's 
books,  as,  say,  the  novels  of  Mr.  W.  J.  Locke, 
which  have  a  great  vogue  in  America. 

"Only  recently  Heinemann,  of  London, 
and  Doubleday,  Page  and  Company,  of  New 
York,  organized  themselves  in  the  same  man- 
ner. It  is  no  secret  that  Hodder  and  Stough- 
ton,  of  whom  Sir  William  Robertson  has 
long  been  the  editorial  chief,  and  George 
Doran,  of  New  York,  are  intimately 
associated  for  transatlantic  literary  pur- 
poses. Once  some  American  publishing  houses 
thought  it  enough  to  have  a  representative  in 
London,  a  literary  man,  a  business  man,  or  a 
man  who  was  both.  The  system  was  simple 
and  efficient  in  leisurely  days,  but  now  some- 
thing more  is  needed  to  meet  the  keen  compe- 
tition for  new  books. 

"So  tihere  grows  an  intimacy  of  the  English- 
American  'book  market,  which  will  have  'its  ef- 
fect on  English-American  literature,  because 
that  is  inevitable  and  good.  It  must  tend  to  a 
closer  "note"  in  the  books  of  English  and  Amer- 
ican writers,  without  hurting  the  national  char- 
acteristics of  either.  Authors  will  know  they 
are  to  be  published  as  actively  in  New  York  as 
in  London,  in  London  as  in  New  York,  and 
instinctively  they  will  seek  a  common  literary 
denominator  of  subject,  "note,"  and  expression. 

"By  and  by — who  knows? — some  of  our  en- 
terprising publishers  may  be  setting  up  branch 
houses  in  Japan,  or  linking  up  working  arrange- 
ments with  Japanese  publishers.  You  see,  the 
educated  Japanese,  having,  for  the  material  pro- 
gress of  their  nation,  studied  English,  are  now 
'.fond  readers  of  books  written  in  English. 
Moreover,  they  have  their  own  literature,  an- 
cient and  rich  in  achievement,  and  why  should 
they  not  try  Europe  with  it?" 


Annual  Dinner 

THE  Annual  Dinner  of  the  Women's  Na- 
tional Book  Association  will  be  held  on

A  Religious  Book  Number 

OVER  a  score  of  religious  .periodicals 
have  sent  word  of  their  completed  plans 
for  a  special  Religious  Book  Week  number, 
and  one  of  these,  the  Continent,  has  already 
published  a  notable  religious  book  issue  under 
date  of  February  2nd.  This  number  included 
an  interesting  article  by  Andrew  C.  Zenos  on 
"Popular  Leaders  Among  Religious  Books," 
including  a  list  of  the  six  best  sellers,  as  had 
been  reported  by  the  eight  bookstores  of  the 
Presbyterian  Board  of  Publication,  and  a  list 
of  sixty-four  other  books  that  made  up  the 
popular  items  in  the  experience  of  these 
stores.  Another  interesting  list  was  a  second 
semi-annual  list  of  Helpful  Books,  made  up 
by  the  faculty  and  students  of  the  McCor- 
mick  Theologtical  Seminary.  There  is  also  a 
very  pertinent  article  entitled  "Mr.  'Layman, 
Do  You  Shun  Religious  Books?  by  Harry 
Clayton  Rogers,  and  a  strong  editorial  on 
"Teaching  to  Read,"  together  with  many 
pages  of  reviews  of  religious  books. 

Houghton,  Mifflin  Officers 

AT  the  annual  meeting  of  the  directors  of 
Houghton,  Mifflin  Company,  Edward  R. 
Houghton  was  elected  President  of  the  Com- 
pany to  fill  the  vacancy  occasioned  by  the  death 
of  Mr.  Mifflin. 

Mr.  Houghton,  who  is  a  nephew  of  the  late 
H.  O.  Houghton.  the  founder  of  the  House, 
lives  in  Cambridge.  He  has  been  connected 
with  the  Company  since  his  graduation  from 
Amherst  College  in  1893.  He  has  more  re- 
cently held  the  position  of  Managing  Director 
of  the  Riverside  Press,  in  addition  to  being  a 
member  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the 
Board  of  Directors. 

The  other  officers  elected  were :  James  Dun- 
can Phillips,  Vice-President  and  Treasurer,  and 
Roger  L.  Scaife,  Clerk,  which  in  New  York 
law  is  equivalent  to  secretary.

Houghton  Mifflin  Night  in 
Philadelphia 

X  February  i6th,  at  the  Franklin  Inn  Club 
the  Philadelphia  Booksellers  held  their 
much  heralded  Houghton-Mifflin  Night.  The 
Association  was  genuinely  appreciative  of  the 
great  honor  conferred  upon  it  by  the  visitors 
from  Boston.  Everything  possible  was  done 
to  welcome  them  properly.  There  was  a  tem- 
perature of  five  degrees  above,  but  a  heavy  fall 
of  snow  that  was  promised,  failed  to  arrive  on 
time  to  make  the  New  Englanders  feel  per- 
fectly at  home.  For  a  week  all  the  book  shop 
windows  displayed  the  legend  "Houghton- 
Mifflin  Week,"  and  the  few  unbookish  in- 
habitants must  have  wondered  What  a  "Hough- 
ton-Mifflin" was.  Yes,  there  are  a  few  un- 
bookish people  in  Philadelphia ;  of  course  not 
so  few  as  Boston,  but  still  a  few. 

Peter  Reilly,  the  president,  presided,  and 
after  a  few  happily  chosen  words  of  welcome, 
turned  over  the  meeting  to  Benjamin  Ticknor. 
Mr.  Ticknor  made  a  short,  witty  speech  and 
introduced  the  toastmaster,  Philip  S.  Marden. 
Mr.  Marden  is  a  gentleman  of  genial  girth  and 
soon  he  had  his  audience  chuckling  and  in  per- 
fect humor  to  enjoy  the  good  things  to  follow. 

Ralph  Paine,  the  first  speaker,  told  some 
stories  gathered  from  his  very  rich  store  of 
personal  adventures,  many  of  which  took  place 
or  had  their  origin  in  Philadelphia.  It  was 
truly  refreshing  to  meet  a  fictionist  who  was 
not  afraid  to  use  some  locale  other  than  Phila- 
delphia's thriving  suburb,  New  York. 

The  author  of  "Roosevelt  in  the  Bad  Lands," 
Hermann  Hagedorn,  with  Boswellian  fidelity, 
told  some  unpublished  anecdotes  of  the  great 
T.  R. 

The  program  closed  with  Edward  (I. 
Lowry's  (author  of  "Washington  Close-ups"), 
impressions  of  the  personnel  of  the  interna- 
tional conference  recently  concluded  at  Wash- 
ington. He  brought  "close  up"  to  his  hearers 
some  of  the  great  and  near  great  of  the  Capitol. 
He  said  they  were  only  human  beings  after 
all ;  "some  wore  low  shoes  and  chewed  tobacco, 
and  some  didn't."  All  felt  duly  grateful 
when  he  further  said  that  it  was  only  by  the 
grace  of  God  that  some  were  booksellers  in- 
stead of  statesmen. 

The  Houghton,  Mifflin  party,  besides,  the 
speakers,  included  Frank  Bruce  and  Harrison 
Leussler. 

F.  V.  M. 

E.  T.  A.  Hoffman,  the  German  author,  died 
Tune  22,  1822,  and  the  Germans  are  preparing 
to  celebrate  the  hundredth  anniversary  of  hi> 
death.  A  tablet  was  recently  unveiled  on  the 
house  in  which  he  was  born  at  Konigsberg.

A  Best  Seller 

As  the  boy  who  tended  the  newsstand  was 
absorbed  in  reading  a  book,  I  hunted  around 
until  I  found  the  magazine  I  wanted  and  then 
approached  him.  When  I  spoke  to  him  he  did 
not  raise  his  eyes  from  the  page  but  held  out 
his  hand  for  the  coin  and  dropped  it  auto- 
matically into  the  till.  I  said : 

"Where's    the   change?" 

"What  did  you  get?"  he  replied,  still  with- 
out looking  up. 

I  told  him. 

"How  much  is  it?"  he  asked. 

I  said  I  did  not  know. 

"Can't  you  read  it  on  the  cover?"  he  in- 
quired crossly. 

Thus  admonished  I  searched  the  cover  until 
I  found  the  price  mark  tucked  away  in  the 
hair  of  the  pretty  girl  picture.  When  I  told 
the  newsdealer  he  tossed  the  change  over  the 
counter.  One  of  the  coins  rolled  on  the  floor, 
but  I  recovered  it  while  the  boy  read  on. 

Curious  to  learn  the  nature  of  the  book  he 
was  reading  I  glanced  over  his  shoulder  at 
the  title. 

It  was  called  "The  Science  and  Art  of 
Salesmanship."

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Rubber  In  Paper  Making 

ANEW  process  in  paper  making  has  appar- 
ently been  discovered  according  to  Viice 
Consul  Wade  Blackard,  stationed  at  Singapore. 
This  is  the  use  of  latex  rubber  in  paper  mak- 
ing. The  process  is  recorded  an  the  New  York 
Times. 

"The  discovery  of  the  process,  which  has  been 
patented,  is  attributed  to  Frederick  Kaye.  It  is 
claimed  for  the  discovery,  according  to  Mr. 
Blackard,  that  it  will  not  only  reduce  the  cost 
of  paper  making  materially  and  simplify  paper 
making  methods,  but  that  it  will  greatly  im- 
prove the  quality  of  the  product.  ~:For  example,' 
Mr.  Blackard  goes  on  in  a  report  to  the  Depart- 
ment of  Commerce. 

'Experiments  were  made  to  show  that  with 
an  ordinary  fibre  made  into  a  paper  containing 
one-tenth  of  I  per  cent,  of  rubber  the  product 
had  a  folding  number  of  5,000  to  6,000  and  a 
tensile  strength  of  two  or  three  times  that  of 
the  same  material  made  without  rubber.  With 
a  rubber  content  of  about  75-iooths  of  i  per 
cent,  the  folding  number  reached  14,500,  while 
the  same  paper  made  in  the  usual  manner  had  a 
folding  number  of  30. 

'Another  fibre,  'beaten  for  half  the  usual  time 
and  made  into  a  paper  containing  i  per  cent,  of 
rubber,  had  a  folding  strength  number  of  72,- 
500  and  a  tensile  strength  of  87  pounds  for  a 
strip  one  inch  wide.  This  is  equal  to  6,600 
pounds  per  square  inch,  or  about  twice  the 
strength  of  a  well-vulcanized  rubber  compound, 
such,  for  example,  as  is  used  in  tires.  The 
bursting  strength  was  about  40  pounds  for  a 
thickness  of  one-tenth  of  a  millimeter.' '' 
Printing  in  England 

"Lithographers,  printers,  and  binders  have 
enough  to  do  for  the  present,  but  they  regard 
the  future  with  some  anxiety,"  says  the  Leipzig 
correspondent  of  the  Manchester  Guardian. 
"Prices  are  uncertain,  and  it  is  very  difficult 
to  get  paper.  The  paper  mills  cannot  work 
much.  Either  they  have  no  coals  or,  on  account 
of  the  dry  summer,  no  cellulose.  Export  busi- 
ness, which  is  so  important  for  the  lithographic 
industry,  is  very  limited  at  present,  especially 
with  England  since  the  anti-dumping  legislation. 
The  countries  alj  our  eastern  frontiers  and 
Russia  can  hardily  be  thought  of ;  neithier 
Austria,  on  account  of  the  exchange.  Switzer- 
land and  France  have  passed  strict  laws  against 
imports,  and  so  the  Northern  countries  are 
the  only  ones  which  can  be  taken  into  con- 
sideration."

A  Book  List  on  Japan 

THE  problems  of  the  Pacific  and  the  Far 
Eastern  nations,  which  has  been  so  much 
to  the  front  in  the  political  world,  is,  of 
course,  of  continuing  interest  always  in  the 
field  of  church  and  missionary  endeavor,  and 
no  group  is  more  conscious  of  the  importance 
of  the  recent  Conference  and  of  the  decisions 
made,  as  a  failure  to  settle  to  some  extent,  at 
least,  the  problems  of  the  Far  East  would  be  a 
signal  failure  for  progressive  Christianity. 

The  Federal  Council  of  Churches  has  is- 
sued a  special  pamphlet  on  the  problems  of  the 
Pacific  and  the  Far  East  to  be  used  by  study 
classes,  and  in  connection  with  the  pamphlet 
they  present  a  reference  list  of  what  they  con- 
sider the  best  books  for  the  study  of  Japan.

The  Booksellers'  Convention 

THE  Washington  Convention,  the  plans  for 
which  are  now  rapidly  being  completed, 
will  offer  many  attractions  because  of  its  be- 
ing held,  in  the  national  Capitol,  and  the 
Committee  is  endeavoring  to  lay  its  plans  so 
that  full  advantage  of  this  can  be  taken  by  the 
delegates.  Instead  of  beginning,  as  usual,  on 
Tuesday,  the  sessions  open  on  Monday,  May 
8th.  There  is  entertainment  planned  for 
every  evening,  and  all  day  Thursday  is  to  be  a 
play  day,  the  final  executive  session  being 
finished  on  Wednesday  afternoon. 

The  Committee  on  the  Program  lays  em- 
phasis on  the  fact  that  there  will  be  a  great 
deal  of  practical  discussion  from  the  floor 
after  some  topic  of  current  interest  has  been 
presented.  The  Committee  on  Entertainment 
is  especially  anxious  that  the  Convention  shall 
be  self-supporting,  and  there  will  be  a  fee  of 
ten  dollars  covering  not  only  the  banquet,  as 
has  usually  been  the  case,  but  the  other 
entertainment  expenses  as  well.  This  will 
provide  a  fund  for  the  local  committee  to 
work  with  that  has  not  heretofore  existed. 

A  French  Book-Trade  Catalog 

A  VERY  interesting  catalog  for  the  use  of 
French  booksellers  has  just  been  issued 
from  the  Office  Pour  La  Propagation  du  Livre 
Frangais,  117  Boulevard  Saint-Germain,  Paris. 
This  catalog  as  intended  to  supply  booksellers 
with  a  list  that  they  can  put  in  the  hands  of 
their  customers,  giving  the  names  of  the  prin- 
cipal works  which  are  for  sale  on  the  French 
bookstores,  arranged  under  subject  classifica- 
tion and  indexed  by  title.  The  first  volume  at 
hand  covers  fiction ;  memoirs  and  letters ;  es- 
says and  miscellanies ;  poetry ;  and  the  theater. 
The  catalog  iis  *,l/2  *7lt/2  inches  in  height,  gives 
the  price  of  the  book  and  the  publisher's  name 
in  code ;  this  code  to  be  only  known  to  the  book- 
seller so  that  the  person  to  whom  the  catalog 
is  given  by  him  will  not  order  direct  from  the 
publisher. 

The  introduction  states  that  this  first  list  in- 
cludes only  works  written  in  French  that  offer 
literary  interest,  and,  while  it  does  not  claim 
to  be  exhaustive,  aims  to  (include  every  work 
of  acknowledged  merit  or  undoubted  notoriety 
which  is  now  in  the  stock  of  French  book- 
sellers. The  books  included  are  those  from  the 
date  of  1800  up  to  the  year  1920.  Part  2 
of  the  catalog  will  include  French  classic 
literature  up  to  the  year  1800,  ancient  and 
Eastern  literature  and  modern  literature  of 
other  countries.  It  will  also  include  books 
on  literary  criticism  and  the  history  of  lit- 
erature. This  catalog  would  be  of  gireat 
value  to  American  libraries  for  booksellers 


who  would  like  to  have  in  compact  form  a 
reference  list  of  the  available  literature  of 
France.  The  price  of  each  section  is  2  francs. 
After  the  publication  of  these  two  sections  on 
literature,  there  will  be  other  lists ;  history 
and  geography ;  fine  arts ;  science  and  tech- 
nology ;  law,  philosophy  and  religion ;  prac- 
tical information ;  pedagogy ;  books  for 
children. 


Worth  All  thou  Hast 

THAT  the  question  of  book  prices  and  book 
values  is  an  old  one  is  very  interestingly  evi- 
denced by  a  quotation  from  Richard  de  Bury's 
"Philobiblon"  which  has  been  pointed  out  by  a 
subscriber.  Richard  de  Bury  died  in  1345,  but 
his  work  is  still  beloved  among  all  who  read 
or  handle  books.  "Philobiblon"  was  first  print- 
ed at  Cologne  in  1473,  and  the  first  English 
edition,  in  1598-99- 

WHAT   WE   ARE   TO   THINK    OF   THE   PRICE   IN    THE 
BUYING  OF  BOOKS 

From  Chapter  Three  of  De  Bury's  Philobiblon, 
E.  C.  Thomas  translation. 

From  what  has  been  said  we  draw  this  cor- 
ollary welcome  to  us,  but  (as  we  believe)  ac- 
ceptable to  few :  namely,  that  no  dearness  of 
price  ought  to  hinder  a  man  from  the  buying 
of  books,  if  he  has  the  money  that  is  demanded 
for  them,  unless  it  be  to  withstand  the  malice 
ai  the  seller  or  to  await  a  more  favorable  op- 
portunity of  buying.  For  if  it  is  wisdom  only 
that  makes  the  price  of  books,  which  is  an  infi- 
nite treasure  to  mankind,  and  if  the  value  of 
books  is  unspeakable,  as  the  premises  show, 
how  shall  the  bargain  be  shown  to  be  dear 
where  an  infinite  good  is  being  bought?  Where- 
fore, that  books  are  to  be  gladly  bought  and 
unwillingly  sold,  Solomon,  the  sun  of  men, 
exhorts  us  in  the  Proverbs  :  Buy  the  truth,  he 
says,  and  sell  not  wisdom.  But  what  we  are 
trying  to  show  by  rhetoric  or  logicj  let  us 
prove  by  examples  from  history.  The  arch- 
philosopher  Aristotle,  whom  Averroes  regards 
as  the  law  of  Nature,  bought  a  few  books  of 
Speusippus  straightway  after  his  death  for  72,- 
ooo  sesterces.  Plato,  before  him  in  time,  but 
after  him  in  learning,  bought  the  book  of  Phil- 
olaus  the  Pythagorean,  from  which  he  is  said 
to  have  taken  the  Timaeus,  for  10,000  denaries, 
as  Aulus  Gellius  relates  in  the  Noctes  Atticae. 
Now  Aulus  Gellius  relates  this  that  the  foolish 
may  consider  how  wise  men  despise  money  in 
comparison  whh  books.  And  on  the  other  hand, 
that  we  may  know  that  folly  and  pride  go  to- 
gether, let  us  here  relate  the  folly  of  Tarquin 
the  Proud  in  despising  books,  as  also  related 
by  Aulus  Gellius.  .  .  .  What  did  this  Sibyl 
teach  the  proud  king  by  this  bold  deed,  except 
that  the  vessels  of  wisdom,  holy  books,  ex- 
ceed all  human  estimation ;  and,  as  Gregory 
says  of  the  kingdom  of  Heaven :  They  are 
worth  all  that  thou  hast?

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Women  and  Bookselling 

A  Monthly  Department  of  News  and  Theory — Edited  by  Virginia  Smith  Cowper 


CHARLES     CALIHVF.LL 
DOBIE 


TH  E  February 
i6th  meeting  of 
the  Women's  Na- 
tional Book  Asso- 
ciation could  well 
have  been  called 
"California  Night," 
for  beside  the  two 
speakiers,  Charles 
Caldwell  Dobie,  and 
Ruth  Comfort  Mit- 
chell, there  were 
several  members  present  from  the  "golden 
stati1.1'  It  was  probably  the  liveliest  meeting 
which  has  been  held  an  some  months,  inasmuch 
as  the  discussions  ran  from  the  writing  to  the 
advertising  and  selling  of  books. 

Alice  Duer  Miller,  who  was  scheduled  to 
speak,  found  that  she  could  not  be  present  at 
the  last  moment  and  her  place  was  very  ably 
filled  by  Ruth  Comfort  Mitchell  (Mrs.  William 
Sanborn  Young),  author  of  "Play  the  Game" 
(Appleton)..  "The  Night  Court  and  other 
Poems"  (Century),  and  a  new  book,  just  off 
the  press,  "Jane  Journeys  On"  (Appleton). 

Miss  Mitchell,  brought  with  her  the  breath 
of  the  out-of-doors,  as  her  personality  is  such 
as  one  would  know  at  once  that  she  has  been 
identified  with  the  great  open  spaces  of  the 
mountains.  She  told  of  her  work  and  of  the 
little  cabin  in  the  Monterey  country  along  the 
Sur  River,  an  which  she  does  her  writing,  and 
she  spoke  also  of  her  hopes  for  the  future. 

Charles  Caldwell  Dobie,  author  of  "Broken 
to  the  Plow1'  and  "The  Blood  Red  Dawn" 
(Harper),  a  San  Franciscan,  devoted  much  of 
his  talk  to  the  present  school  of  novel  writing, 
which  held  the  theory  that  an  author  ought 
to  write  autobiographically  and  have  a  cer- 
tain spirit  of  propaganda.  His  discussion 
was  siimple,  and  charmingly  unaffected  and  filled 
with  rich  quotations  from  various  authors  to 
shed  light  on  the  vexed  questions  for  the 
writer  who  was  just  beginning  to  feel  his  way. 
He  stated  that  the  novelists  of  today  lacked  a 
sense  of  repose,  and  the  art  of  suggestion.  He 
stated  that  in  his  opinion  Dostoievski  and 
Turgenev  show  a  perfection  of  technique  and 
great  sense  of  repose.  Mr.  Dobie  then  entered 
whole-heartedly  into  the  discussion  of  correct 
advertising  for  books,  and  as  to  which  was  the 
wisest  way  to  get  a  "book  to  sell  as  was  shown 
in  the  case  of  ''Main  Street"  and  "Brass." 
Everyone  present  seemed  to  have  ideas  on  the 
subj  ect  and  stated  that  •  they  knew  at  once  'by 
the  sales  of  certain  books  if  the  advertising 
was  "pulling." 


During  the  business  meeting,  which  followed 
the  speaking,  Winifred  Stuart  Gibbs,  author  of 
"The  Minimum  Cost  of  Living"  (Macraillan), 
and  "Economical  Cooking"  (Cupples  &  Leon), 
presented  to  the  members  a  pilan  for  the 
nationwide  campaign  for  increasing  the  sale 
of  'books  thru  the  Women's  National  Book 
Association,  by  which  the  Association  would 
have  "at  the  end  of  a  year  accurate  information 
of  conditions  and  accomplishment  for  every 
town  and  rural  district  in  the  United  States." 
While  every  one  present  thought  well  of  the 
plan  as  a  whole,  there  was  present  with  every 
one  a  feeling  that  the  plan  as  drawn,  was  much 
too  elaborate  for  an  organization  so  young  and 
still  comparatively  small,  and  Miss  Gibbs  was 
asked  to  draw  up  other  plans,  which  would  meet 
the  immediate  needs  of  the  Association,  as  the 
members  felt  that  the  Association  was  not  yet 
strong  enough  to  hold  mass-meetings  in  cities 
and  small  towns  over  the  United  States,  which 
formed  part  of  the  outline. 

The  Cosmopolitan  Book  Corporation  pre- 
sented to  each  member  a  copy  of  "The  Go- 
getter"  by  Peter  B.  Kyne. 

At  the  dinner  of  the  Bookseller's  League,  in 
New  York,  on  February  I5th,  Ralph  Wilson, 
president,  paid  a  high  compliment  to  Bessie 
Graham  and  the  classes  in  bookselling  which 
she  is  conducting  at  the  New  York  Public 
Library,  and  at  which  her  book,  "The  Book- 
man's Manual  (R.  R.  Bowker  Co.)  is  being 
used  as  a  textbook.  Mr.  Wilson  spoke  very 
highly  of  this  course  in  general  and  of  its 
value  to  all  booksellers. 

All  plans  are  now  made  for  the  annual 
dinner  of  the  Women's  National  Book  Asso- 
ciation, which  is  to  'be  held  this  year  in  the 
Winter  Garden  (24th  floor)  of  the  Hotel  Mc- 
Alpin  on  March  9th.  There  are  to  be  only 
three  speakers,  and  all  of  them  known  where- 
ever  books  are  sold:  Willa  S.  Gather,  E. 
Phillips  Oppenheim,  who  has  just  arrived  in 
America,  and  Hugh  Lofting,  author  of  "Dr. 
Doolittle"  (Stokes).  After  the  speaking  there 
is  to  be  produced  a  novelty  directed  by  Madge 
Jenison  and  Belle  M.  Walker  called  "Sello- 
phones,"  written  by  Ethel  R.  Peyser,  which 
are  records  of  Sappho,  Heywood  Broun, 
Shakespeare,  Charlotte  Bronte  and  Harold 
Bell  Wright.  This  wonderful  new  invention 
will  be  demonstrated  by  Alexander  Black. 

Tickets  for  the  dinner  may  be  obtained 
from  Edith  Jackson,  care  of  F.  A.  Schwartz, 
303  F'i/fth  Ave.,  New  York,  at  $3.50  each.

Dean  of  American  Booksellers 

WHEN1  E.  P.  Button  reached  his  ninety- 
first  birthday  in  January,  the  PUB- 
LISHERS' WEEKLY  celebrated  that  event 
by  some  account  of  the  life  of  that  veteran  pub- 
lisher, certainly  the  dean  of  the  American  pub- 
lishing trade.  If  a  dean  of  booksellers  were  to 
be  chosen,  the  honor  must  fall  to  Timothy 
Nicholson  of  Richmond,  Indiana,  who  has 
passed  the  ninety-third  year  and  still  goes  daily 
to  his  bookstore,  now  conducted  by  his 
sons,  Thomas  and  John,  tho  Mr.  Nicholson 
himself  still  buys  the  Bibles  and  other  re- 
ligious books.  He  also  finds  time  and  energy 
to  attend  to  a  large  variety  of  social  and  civic 
duties. 

Timothy  Nicholson  was  born  on  a  farm  in 
North  Carolina  in  1828  of  Quaker  parents. 
He  attended  a  Friends'  Academy  near  his 
home  and  from  1847-1848  a  Friends'  High 
School  in  Providence,  R.  I.  He  was  later 
a  principal  of  the  North  Carolina  Friends' 
Academy  and  afterwards  an  instructor  in 
the  Friends'  College  at  Haverford,  Pa.  In 
1860,  he  and  his  younger  brother  opened  a 
bookstore  in  Richmond.  This  firm  antedates 
even  the  well-known  firm  of  McClurg,  and  is 
one  of  the  oldest  firms  under  its  original 
name  in  the  state  of  Indiana. 

When  in  1874  the  book-trade  convention  met 
in  Cincinnati  the  American  Book-Trade 
Union  was  formed  by  the  retailers  of  the 
middle  west,  the  earliest  American  publish- 
ers' association,  under  the  presidency  of  a  mid- 
dle westerner,  Isaac  B.  Aston.  Timothy 
Nicholson  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the 
new  organization  and  was  elected  its  first 
Treasurer.  The  Book-Trade  Union  had  but 
a  brief  career  of  a  few  years ;  Timothy 
Nicholson  is  its  only  surviving  leader. 

Mr.  Nicholson  has  always  been  devout  and 
active  in  religious  affairs.  He  has  occupied 
every  office  an  the  Friends'  Church  except 
that  of  preacher.  When  in  1877  the  first 
general  conference  of  Friends  in  America  was 
held  in  Richmond,  Mr.  Nicholson  was  made 
the  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Arrange- 
ments. These  conferences  'have  been  held 
every  five  years  in  Richmond  or  in  Indian- 
apolis, and  Mr.  Nicholson  has  always  been 
a  delegate  to  them.  When  the  Indiana  Friends 
celebrated  their  one  hundredth  anniversary, 
Mr.  Nicholson  presided  at  the  centennial 
services.  For  forty-nine  years  he  was  a  trus- 
tee of  Earlham  College  of  Richmond  and  for 
thirty  years  member  and  Secretary  of  its 
Financial  Board. 

Mr.  Nicholson  has  been  equally  interested 
in  state  and  social  betterment.  For  six  years 


he  was  a  trustee  of  the  Indiana  State  Normal 
School,  appointed  by  two  governors,  and  for 
nineteen  years  he  was  a  member  of  the  Indi- 
ana Board  of  Charities,  receiving  his  appoint- 
ment from  six  governors,  both  Republican 
and  Democratic.  This  service  on  the  Board 
of  Charities  he  performed  without  salary, 
visiting  and  inspecting  state  and  county  insti- 
tutions, attending  meetings  of  board,  state 
and  national  conferences  and  prison  associa- 
tions. In  1908,  when  Mr.  Nicholson  was  in 


TIMOTHY    NICHOLSON 

his  eightieth  year,  he  resigned  this  office,  and 
the  leading  citizens  of  the  state  celebrated  his 
birthday  and  expressed  their  appreciation  of 
his  devoted  and  faithful  work  by  giving  a 
banquet  in  his  honor.  Mr.  Nicholson  has  al- 
ways taken  an  active  interest  in  the  Social 
Service  Bureau  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  When  the 
Indiana  Anti-Saloon  League  was  organized  in 
1898,  he  was  chosen  President  and  has  con- 
tinued to  hold  that  office  ever  since. 

When  the  Oxford  Bulletin  wrote  up  an  ac- 
count of  the  remarkable  career  of  Mr. 
Nicholson  a  few  years  ago,  it  was  said,  "He 
is  certainly  the  grand  old  man  of  the  book- 
trade."

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Rare  Books,  Autographs  and  Prints 


A 


COLLECTED  edition  of  the  works  of 
Hamlin  Garland  is  under  way. 


The  demand  for  the  first  editions  of  O. 
Henry  must  have  greatly  diminished,  for 
eight  volumes  of  his  first  editions  sold  the 
other  day  at  auction  for  only  $17.50,  and  this 
too  with  a  room  full  of  collectors  and  book- 
sellers. 

Walter  M.  Hill  of  Chicago  has  recently  pub- 
lished a  thin  volume  of  sonnets  by  an  anony- 
mous author  printed  by  John  Henry  Nash  of 
San  Francisco  making  a  real  typographic 
gem. 

A  collection  of  O.  Henry  letters  bearing 
the  title  "Letters  to  Lithopolis,"  written  to 
Miabel  Wagnalls,  will  be  brought  out  this  spring 
by  Doubleday,  Page  &  Co.,  in  their  series  of 
de  luxe,  numbered  volumes. 

The  current  catalog  of  C.  F.  Libbie  &  Co., 
of  Boston  is  devoted  entirely  to  Massachusetts 
history,  including  state,  county,  town  and  local 
history,  biography,  centennial  orations,  vital 
records,  numbering  nearly  looo  items. 

The  Vailima  edition  of  Stevenson's  "Works" 
has  been  oversubscribed  in  both  England  and 
America,  the  subscriptions  coming  mainly  from 
individual  customers,  and  all  this  too  before 
the  publication  of  the  fourth  of  the  twenty-six 
volumes. 

A  collection  of  important  consignments  from 
over  sea  comprising  rare  French  and  English 
classics;  unusual  tracts  on  Ireland;  books  on 
Mary  Stuarts  Cromwell  and  the  Commonwealth 
period;  handsome  bindings  by  English  mas- 
ters, together  with  the  remainder  of  the  library 
of  Daniel  F.  Appleton  of  this  city,  will  be 
sold  at  the  Anderson  Galleries  March  6,  7  and  8. 

There  were  several  new  high  record  prices 
in  the  Riverside  Press  Special  Edritions  sold  at 
the  Coutant  sale,  among  them  Boccaccio's  "Life 
of  Dante"  which  brought  $29.  The  demand 
for  books  designed  by  Bruce  Rogers  is  steadily 
growing  and  since  it  is  based,  uspon  such 
intelligent  appreciation  of  good  printing  it  is 
pretty  sure  to  continue  in  coming  years. 

The  greatest  of  all  of  the  Dickens  collec- 
tions in  value,  the  association  first  editions, 
letters  and  manuscripts  brought  together  by 
Harry  B.  Smith  of  this  city,  bought  several 
years  ago  by  the  Rosenbach  Company  of  Phila- 
delphia, has  recently  been  sold  to  William  B. 


Elkins,  of  Elkins  Park,  Penn.  Dr.  Rosenbach 
originally  asked  $135,000  for  it  and  it  is  not 
likely  he  was  persuaded  to  part  with  it  for 
less. 

Thomas  F.  Madigan  has  resumed  the  pub- 
lication of  his  Autograph  Bulletin,  the  new 
series  beginning  with  the  January  number,  and 
he  offers  to  mail  it  to  all  active  autograph 
collectors  without  ^charge ;  to  others  who  wish 
to  receive  it  for  its  biographical  and  historical 
data  it  will  be  sent  regularly  for  one  dollar  a 
year.  This  number  contains  four  unpublished 
letters  of  Abraham  Lincoln  and  one  of  Wash- 
ington, the  latter  reproduced  in  facsimile,  and 
long  extracts  from  many  valuable  literary  and 
historical  letters  of  famous  men  and  women. 

The  ancestral  home  of  Myles  Standish,  at 
Standish  Hall,  in  the  parish  of  Standish,  near 
Wigan,  Lancashire,  the  house  having  been 
occupied  by  the  Standish  family  since  before 
the  Norman  'Conquest,  is  to  be  brought  to 
America  and  sold.  The  very  rooms  in  which 
the  Pilgrim  leader  was  born  and  lived  are  to 
be  brought  intact.  Before  the  end  of  the 
year  -it  is  possible  that  the  four  rooms  of  the 
Standish  home  may  be  fitted  into  the  house  of 
some  wealthy  American  whose  family  history 
in  this  country  goes  back  to  Mayflower  days. 

The  educational  influence  of  the  display  of 
art  collections,  the  observance  of  centenaries 
of  famous  men,  women  and  historical  events, 
in  our  larger  public  and  university  libraries 
has  been  reflected  in  the  demand  for  books  to 
satisfy  the  interest  aroused.  Frequently  bib- 
liographies have  been  compiled  and  published 
in  connection  with  such  exhibitions  making  the 
resources  of  the  libraries  easily  and  fully 
available.  The  success  of  these  exhibitions  fore- 
shadows a  greatly  increased  educational  value  of 
the  public  library  system.  Probably  in  the  near 
future  there  will  be  a  loan  system  between 
libraries  devised  that  will  greatly  increase  the 
usefulness  of  exhibition  material  and  encourage 
its  collection.  For  instance,  the  Roosevelt  col- 
lection that  everyday  is  attracting  large  num- 
bers to  the  exhibition  room  of  the  New  York 
Public  Library  could  no  doubt  be  effectively 
and  successfully  exhibited  in  a  half  dozen  large 
cities. 

The  half  century  between  1825  and  1875  has 
frequently  been  called  the  golden  age  of  the 
old  book  business.  The  decade  beginning  with 
the  Hoe  sale,  in  191 1,  however,  far  surpasses 
any  other  period  of  its  length.  The  gathering 
of  rarities  in  such  great  collections  as  those 


March  4,  1922 


563 


of  J.  Carter  Brown,  James  Lenox,  Henry  E. 
Huntingdon  and  scores  of  others,  which  'have 
or  will  become  a  part  of  the  great  public  and 
university  libraries  of  the  New  World  will 
make  it  impossible  some  day  to  continue  book 
collecting  along  old  lines  such  as  made  the  col- 
lections of  the  Robert  Hoe,  Henry  Huth  and 
Christie  Miller  famous.  Tlhe  ingenuity  of  book- 
sellers and  the  highly  organized  auction  houses, 
supported  by  an  increasiing  army  of  collectors, 
will  require  new  worlds  to  conquer  and  they 
will  not  be  easy  to  find. 

The  creation  of  a  great  reference  library  to 
supplement  the  art  collection  left  to  this  crity 
by  Henry  C.  Frick  is  under  way  at  the  Frick 
home,  Fifth  Avenue  and  Seventieth  Street.  The 
plan  includes  the  collection,  arrangement  and 
indexing  of  photographic  reproductions  of  all 
the  paintings  and  drawings  of  the  last  eight  cen- 
turies of  western  civilization.  The  task  is  al- 
most inconceivably  great.  An  art  biographical 
reference  work  planned  in  Germany  before  the 
war  listed  more  than  100,000  artists,  and  of 
many  artists  work  there  is  almost  no  end.  The 
greatest  of  all,  Michelangelo,  left  nearly  1,000 
paintings  and  sketches.  The  Library  of  Con- 
gress, whose  collection  makes  no  pretence  at 
completeness  in  any  direction,  contains  330,000 
prints.  America  at  present  has  nothing  which 
at  all  fills  the  need  of  the  great  collection 
planned  and  it  will  doubtless  be  a  great  help  to 
all  who  are  interested  academically,  in  profes- 
sions or  business  with  which  art  ds  linked.  As 
the  New  York  Herald  points  out  "the  historian, 
the  novelist,  the  playwright,  the  decorator,  the 
theatrical  producer,  the  costumer,  the  furniture 
maker — all  will  'have  at  their  command,  when 
the  work  is  given  to. the  public,  the  most  com- 
plete collection  of  its  kind  ever  assembled." 

The  sale  of  the  library  of  the  late  Dr.  R.  V. 
Coutant  of  Tarrytown  at  Anderson  Galleries 
February  20,  21,  22  and  23  will  encourage  many 
who  have  a  love  for  good  books  and  buy  them, 
not  according  to  collectors'  standards,  but  for 
their  own  satisfaction.  Dr.  Coutant  bought  the 
books  that  he  personally  prefered,  collecting 
them  slowly  over  a  long  period.  The  1,658  lots 
brought  $18.877.45,  probably  considerably  more 
than  they  cost  him.  The  most  valuable  item  of 
all  was  Washington's  copy  of  the  sixth  volume 
of  Goldsmith's  "Animated  Nature,"  London, 
1/89,  with  Washington's  autograph  on  the  title 
and  his  bookplate  on  the  inside  of  the  front 
cover,  wihich  brought  $875.  The  first  edition  of 
the  "Court  Martial  Proceedings"  respecting  Ma- 
jor Andre  with  autograph  letters  and  documents 
of  the  entire  'board  of  officers  which  tried  him. 
realized  $825.  The  great  bulk  of  the  library 
consisting  of  choice  books  of  moderate  value 
generally  brought  good  prices,  collectors  and 
dealers  competing  freely  for  them.  The  market 


for  rare  and  desirable  books  seems  to  be  grow- 
ing more  and  more  dependable  every  year. 
There  are  few  new  high  records  without  good 
reason  at  the  same  time  few  items  are  now 
"passed"  and  really  desirable  books  on  tine 
average  bring  about  all  they  are  worth,  fre- 
quently more  than  a  bookseller  can  afford  to 
pay  for  them.  F.  M.  H.

THE  IRON  MAN 

By  Arthur  Pound 

There  is  scarcely  a  phase  of  our  life  today  which 
is  not,  to  some  degree,  influenced  or  controlled  by 
the  automatic  machine. 

Beginning  with  a  study  of  industrial  and  social 
conditions  in  Flint,  Michigan,  Mr.  Pound  con- 
siders the  problem  in  its  national  aspects.  He 
shows  clearly  that  The  Iron  Man  has  brought 
the  world  leisure  which  it  is  not  yet  fitted  to 
employ1  profitably,  and  points  out  the  fact  that  our 
youth  are  at  the  top  of  their  earning  power'before 
they  have  acquired  good  sense  or  know  how  to 
spend  their  earnings  wisely.

FINDING  YOUTH 

By  Nelson  Andrews 

What  shall  7  be  at  sixty?  Who  has  not  asked 
himself  the  question?  Who  does  not  long  for  the 
assurance  that  the  last  years  of  life  are  the  gold 
at  the  foot  of  the  rainbow,  rather  than  the  setting 
of  the  sun  ? 

Every  person  to  whom  the  certainty  of  age 
recurs  as  a  haunting  spectre  to  dim  the  brighter 
time  of  youth  and  maturity  should  read  this 
story  of  a  man  who  found  himself  after  the  world 
had  discarded  him,  a_  man  who  has  "come  back" 
and  who  has  determined  to  share  his  secret  of 
living  with  all  who  will  profit  by  his  experience. 
The  appeal  of  this  book  is  as  universal  as  the 
problem  of  age  itself.

THE  DOOM  TRAIL 

By  Arthur  D.  Howden  Smith 

America,  when  America  was  still  a  prize  over  which  England  and  France  were 
ever  growling  like  dogs  over  a  disputed  bone,  furnishes  the  setting  for  this 
stirring  tale. 

If  your  customers  enjoy  excitement  and  danger  and  thrilling  escapes ;  if 
they  like  the  intrigue  of  nations  and  the  strife  of  men ;  if  they  thrill  to  the 
Indian's  war  whoop  and  the  white  man's  conquering  cheer ;  if  their  hearts 
are  touched  by  the  love  that  knows  no  bounds — in  short,  if  they  like  a 
really  top-notch  story  with  action  in  every  line,  here  is  the  book  for  them.

THE  PIVOT 
OF  CIVILIZATION 

By  Margaret  ganger 

Introduction   by    H.    G.    Wells 

A  new  statement  by  the  foremost  figure  in  the  Birth  Control  Movement 
in  America.  A  stronger  book  than  even  "Woman  and  the  New  Race." 
H.  G.  Wells,  in  his  introduction  to  this  volume,  says:  "Mrs.  Sanger  has 
lifted  this  question  from  out  of  the  warm  atmosphere  of  troubled  domes- 
ticity in  which  it  has  hitherto  been  discussed  to  its  proper  level  of  a  pre- 
dominantly important  human  affair."  Net  $2.00

KA  THLEEN  NORRIS 


KATHLEEN  NORRIS  was  once  a  libra- 
rian at  the  Mechanics'  Library,  San  Fran- 
cisco, and  after  the  earthquake  she  clerked 
together  with  her  sister  in  Paul  Elder's 
Book  Shop.  "In  the  library  days,"  she 
says,  "it  was  Mrs.  Ward's  'Lady  Rose's 
Daughter'  and  Jack  London's  'Call  of  the 
Wild'  that  were  in  demand;  later,  in 
the  little  temporary  book  store  in  Van 
Ness  Avenue,  we  introduced  San  Fran- 
cisco to  Locke's  first  novels,  and  de 

Morgan's  'Joseph  Vance.' "  Earlier  than  that,  a  young  girl,  she  lost 
both  parents  and  was  faced  with  the  problems  of  supporting  brothers 
and  sister.  These  hardships  were  repaid  when,  in  New  York,  she  met 
the  editors  who  praised  her  first  novels,  and  began  a  remarkably  suc- 
cessful career.  To-day  she  enjoys  the  fruits  of  her  creed — optimism, 
believer  of  simplicity,  kindness,  home,  children,  people,  Nature — dwell- 
ing on  her  California  ranch,  in  the  shade  of  great  redwoods,  with  her 
husband,  Charles  G.  Norris,  who  also  is  a  famous  novelist.  Her  suc- 
cesses accumulate,  now  including  Harriet  and  the  Piper,  The  Heart 
of  Rachael,  Josselyn's  Wife,  Martie  the  Unconquered,  Mother,  Satur- 
day's Child,  Sisters,  the  Story  of  Julia  Page,  and  The  Beloved  Woman.

ONE  MAN'S  VIEW 

A  novel  by  Merrick,  even  if  he  chose  most  hackneyed,  plot  in  print,  would  impress  you 
as  something'  entirely  novel  and  wholly  delightful.  In  this  one  instead  of  showing  you 
again  an  unsatisfied  wife  yielding  to  the  dangled  bait  of  an  "ideal  companionship"  with 
another  man  than  her  own  husband,  he  tells  the  story  of  the  man  left  behind  as  only 
Merrick  can  tell  it.  There  is  no  one  who  can  be  mentioned  in  his  class  for  keen 
perception,  and  a  certain  comforting,  whimsical  sympathy,  which  the  reader  feels  even 
while  he  realizes  that  some  of  his  own  most  carefully  concealed  human  foibles'  are  being 
exposed  without  mercy  and  quite  without  wrath.

innocently  delighting  in  her  apparently  mysterious  but  undeniable  success  in  bringing 
back  to  life  some  who  have  been  near  to  death;  the  other  is  a  self-contained,  highly 
scientific  physician  whose  modern!  training  leaves  no  room  for  faith  in  anything  occult. 
Their  contacts  and  conflicts  make  an  interesitng  story,  told  with  vigor  and  sweep  in

HIS  DOG 


By  ALBERT  PAYSON  TERHUNE 


The  story  of  how  Link  Ferris  finds  a  wounded  dog  by  the  roadside,  and  in  nursing  its 
injury  realizes  a  sense  of  genuine  companionship  so  new  to  his  life  that  it  serves  as  a 
stimulus  to  redemption.  "He's  learned  me  that  livin*  is  wuthwhile,"  is  Ferris's  plea 
when  the  owners,  by  right  of  purchase,  claim  him.  Warm  human  interest,  pathos,  homely 
humor  and  an  unexpected  ending,  make  of  it  an  exceptionally  appealing  dog  story  well 
worth  placing  beside  "Lad"  or  "Bruce."  $1.50

BRASS:  A  Novel  of  Marriage 


By  CHARLES  G.  NORRIS 


The  Montreal  Star  comments  upon  the  keen  interest  the  reading  public  is  manifesting 
in  the  book,  and  continues:  "Mr.  Norris  is  neither  doctrinaire  or  bigot.  He  simply 
paints  a  series  of  pictures  and  lets  them  tell  the  unadulterated  truth.  They  are  pictures 
that  make  a  great  impression.  There  are  passages  in  'Brass'  which  hold  the  lyric 
beauty  of  a  nightingale's  song  at  midnight;  others  again  which  in  their  stark  realism, 
leave  nothing  to  the  imagination,  though  they  never  impress  one  as  designedly  brutal, 
or  intentionally  cruel.  His  realism  is  designed,  but  it  is  justified.  The  result  is  electric 
at  times;  always  impressive."  The  4Oth  edition  was  published  March  i.  $2.00. 
MR.  NORRIS  is  author  also  of  "Salt,  or  The  Education  of  Griffith  Adams,"  a 
tremendously  keen  and  penetrating  analysis  of  the  conditions  which  influence  young 
men  in  school,  college  and  business  life.  $2.00 


SIMON  CALLED  PETER 


By  ROBERT  KEABLE 


Of  this  "strong  and  illuminating  wartime  story,  quite  unlike  any  other  war  novel  or 
book"  (Phila.  Ledger),  The  Boston  Transcript  says:  "Undeniably  it  is  a  remarkable 
thing  to  have  done — to  have  taken  such  a  man  as  Peter  Graham  and  carried  him  through 
the  fierce  crisis  of  this  story,  fearlessly  and  unfalteringly.  Then  Julie — how  few  authors 
could  have  seen  or  depicted  Julie!  She  is  wayward  and  intoxicating  and  tender.  She  is

THE  BLACK  DIAMOND 


By  FRANCIS  BRETT  YOUNG 


A  story  which  well  exhibits  that  characteristic  union  of  idealism  and  realism  which, 
in  Hugh  Walpole's  opinion,  accounts  for  his  high  rank  among  modern  writers  of  fiction. 
As  the.  Son  Francisco  Journal  puts  it  "Here  is  an  author  who  has  realism  by  the 
forelock-  and,  instead  of  making  it  crawl  through  the  mud,  he  exalts  it  into  the  realm 
of  higher  drama,  where  it  belongs." 

The  N.  V.  Tribune  says:  "There  are  few  passages  in  recent  fiction  that  surpass  in 
brilliancy  of  conception,  of  clashing  moods,  those  that  give  flame  and  sustained  fire  to 
the  closing  chapters  of  'The  Black  Diamond/  "  $2.00 

BRETT  YOUNG'S  other  novels  are:  "The  Crescent  Moon"  ($2.00),  "The  Young 
Physician"  ($2.50)  "The  Tragic  Bride"  ($2.00),  and  (iti  collaboration  with  his  brother) 
"Undergrowth"  ($2.00).

DR.  ERNEST  M.  STIRES  says  of  it:  This  book  of  life  in  the  second  century  has 
the  vitality  and  speed  of  the  twentieth  century.  Here  is  that  rare  event — a  book  for 
every  one." 

DR.  CLIFFORD  SMYTH  writes:  "Congratulations!  I  think  it  is  superb.  I  don't 
know  when  I  have  read  such  a  vivid  narrative  of  adventure*  one  that  has  left  me  with 
so  thrilling  a  sense  of  having  myself  witnessed  the  scenes  and  known  the  people  that  fill 

PROFESSOR   WILLIAM   STEARNS   DAVIS    writes  that  the  book   "besides   being  an 

excellent    tale    of    adventure,    possesses    a    truly    'Defoesque'    quality    of    circumstantial 

narration    which    makes    Imperial    Rome    live    again,    even    to    the    most    unimaginative 

readers." 

EDWARD  LUCAS  WHITE  is  author  also  of  the  most  brilliant  novel  of  South  American 

history   in   our   literature   "El    Supremo"    ($2.50);    of    "The   Unwilling   Vestal;"    and   of 

"The  Song  of  the  Sirens,"  brilliant  glimpses  of  ages  long  past  in  history,  (each,  $2.00).

THE  ISLAND  CURE 

By  GRACE  BLANCHARD 

Public  Library,  Concord,  N.  H. 

Illustrated   from    Photographs,    Picture   Jacket   in    Colors   from    Painting    by 
EMIL  POLLAK«OTTENDORFF.    Price  $1.50 

Bright  and  more  than  merely  pretty  Jean  Beverley  needed  a  vacation,  and 
was  advised  to  take  the  "island  cure," — not  the  overworked  South  Sea  islands, 
but  some  of  the  captivating  ones  on  the  New  England  Coast:  Isles  of  Shoals, 
Orr's  Island,  Bailey's  in  Casco  Bay,  Monhegan,  Islesford,  Mt.  Desert,  and  Nan- 
tucket.  For  sparkling  charm  of  conversation  and  piquancy  of  description,  this 
unusual  and  refreshing  novel,  just  suited  for  summer  reading,  and  good  for  any 
other  time,  will  not  soon  find  its  equal.

THE  PLAY  OF  AUCTION  HANDS 

By  E.  E.  DENISON 

284   pages,   including   100  Illustrative  Hands   printed   in   Black    and   Red,    with    a     page    of 
explanation  for  each  and  Latest  Complete  Rules  of  New  York  Whist  Club.     Price,  $2.00 

AUCTION,  most  interesting  of  card  games,  often  gives  a  surprising  amount 
of  information  through  inferences  that  can  be  drawn  from  the  bidding,  the 
dummy  hand,  and  the  four  cards  played  to  a  trick.  Its  enjoyment  increases  with 
the  skill  acquired  in  "reading"  the  fall  of  cards,  and  applying  the  information 
thus  obtained. 

THE  PLAY  OF  AUCTION  HANDS,  after  a  sound  discussion  of  funda- 
mentals, shows  in  a  series  of  one  hundred  hands  the  various  forms  of  card 
strategy,  together  with  the  reasons  that  determine  the  play;  thereby  enabling 
one  soon  to  enter  into  the  higher  pleasure  of  the  game  more  fully  than  can  be 
done  from  years  of  ordinary  playing. 

The  author's  unusual  knowledge  is  placed  at  the  disposal  of  all  who  care 
to  share  it.  Mr.  Denison  won  the  closest  Whist  Tournament  recorded,  winning 
by  a  hundredth  of  a  trick,  over  his  nearest  competitor,  the  late  J.  B.  Elwell,  after 
sixteen  weekly  sessions  of  play  (49.66  tricks  to  49.65). 

Hence,  to  read  this  book  is  to  be  admitted  to  a  wider  acquaintance  with 
Auction  than  falls  to  the  lot  of  any  save  the  most  expert.  It  can  benefit  all, 
from  the  novice  to  those  interested  only  in  advanced  problems.

THE  WRECK-HUNTERS 

By  DR.  FRANCIS  ROLT- WHEELER 

With  Forty  Illustrations  from  Photographs.    Price  $1.75 

"Sunken  treasure  has  been  a  lure  to  man  ever  since  oars  first  dipped  iii 
water  or  wind  swelled  a  sail."  This  quotation  gives  the  key  to  the  most  absorb- 
ing book  for  boys  that  can  be  imagined,  and  almost  equally  interesting  to  those 
older.  Nor  does  it  lack  the  great  amount  of  accurate  information  always  to  be 
gained  from  Dr.  Roll- Wheeler's  books  of  this  nature.  With  young  Latimer  Voley, 
son  and  grandson  of  the  most  famous  "wreckers"  of  the  Bahamas,  as  a  central 
figure,  we  are  shown  how  sunken  millions  are  salvaged,  requiring  the  most  expert 
nautical  and  mechanical  skill,  and  the  utmost  bravery.  The  thrilling  superstitions 
of  the  sea  are  naturally  and  entertainingly  brought  in.  One  leaves  the  book  with 
greatly  increased  knowledge,  and  more  respect  for  the  mighty  deep  and  the  skill 
and  endurance  of  those  who  brave  it.  For  boys  of  fifteen  and  upwards. 

PEGGY  PRETEND 

By  MILLICENT  EVISON 

Author  of  "Rainbow  Gold" 
Illustrated  by  EDNA  F.  HART  HUBON.     Picture  Jacket   in  Colors.     Price  $1.75 

Here  is  a  book  of  love  and  laughter,  for  its  charming  little  heroine  is  a 
veritable  Joy  Girl,  whose  quaint  fairy  wisdom  enables  her  to  make  life  a  wonder- 
ful game  of  "Let's  Pretend,"  and  justifies  her  whimsical  nickname, — Peggy 
Pretend. 

The  story  tingles  with  the  merry  music  of  Peggy's  "joy  bells,"  for  her  jolly 
escapades  and  laughable  blunders  create  many  incidents  of  thrilling  excitement 
and  lively  interest.  There  are  missing  jewels  which  Peggy's  great-grandmother 
concealed  in  a  strange  hiding-place  during  the  Civil  War;  there  is  a  mysterious 
mountain  cave  where  Peggy  has  an  exciting  adventure;  and  there  is  the  miracle! 
A  book  that  will  give  life  a  "Joy  Treatment"  for  girls  of  all  ages, — grown-ups 
and  growing-ups. 

THE  LITTLE  PEOPLE  OF  THE  GARDEN 

By  RUTH  O.  DYER 

Author  of  "That's  Why  Stories,"  "What-Happened-Then  Stories,"  etc. 

With  Frontispiece  and  Picture  Jacket  in  Colors  by  L.  J.  BRIDCMAN;   also  Pen-and-ink  Head- 
pieces  and   Other  Decorations.     Price  $1.50 

The  name  of  Ruth  0.  Dyer  commands  attention  as  a  highly  improving  as 
well  as  entertaining  writer  for  young  children.  She  has  given  her  best  efforts  to 
acquainting  young  readers  with  the  real  lives  of  little  creatures  near  at  hand,  and 
at  the  same  time  teaching  kindness.  Evey  suggestion  of  dryness  is  avoided  by 
having  bright  but  thoughtless  little  Jasper  Nichols  changed  for  a  time  into  an 
insect  under  fairy  protection.  Thus  he  meets  in  a  friendly  way  "Miss  Apis" 
(the  bee),  "Miss  Formica"  (the  ant),  "The  Little  Plough"  (the  earthworm), 
"Mr.  Rana"  (the  frog),  and  many  other  interesting  little  neighbors,  that  show 
him  the  wonderful  way  Nature  has  fitted  them  for  their  lives,  and  the  constant 
peril  in  which  they  pass  them.  The  information  is  scientifically  accurate.  For 
children  from  six  to  ten.

A  WORK  OF  SUPREME  IMPORTANCE 

One  That  Will  Enlighten  and  Fascinate 

Science  Reduced  to  the  Simplest  Possible  Terms  for  the 
Benefit  of  the  Great  Body  of  Readers  who  are  Unfamiliar 
with  Scientific  Names  and  Scientific  Expressions. 

THE  OUTLINE 
OF  SCIENCE 

Edited  by  J.  ARTHUR  THOMSON,  M.A.,  LL.D. 

To  be  Published  in  Four  Volumes,  Royal  8vo,  Eight  Hundred 
Illustrations.  Forty  of  them  in  Full  Color.  Uniform  with 
the  Handsome  English  Edition  of  "An  Outline  of  History.  " 


THEOUTLIN 

SFSCIENCI 


The  only  work  of  its  kind  that  combines  simplicity  with  completeness.  All  of  the 
marvels  of  our  world — all  of  the  scientific  discoveries  since  the  beginning  of  time — are 
here  explained  and  described  in  non-technical  language.  A  narrative-history  of  science 
so  simply  told  a  child  can  understand  it.  Always  fascinating,  often  startling  in  its 
clear  exposition  of  many  of  the  more  recent  scientific  discoveries.  A  work  that  should 
be  in  every  home. 


The  demand  for  this  work  is  bound  to  be  tremendous.  The  price 
of  the  set  of  four  volumes  will  probably  be  $3-75  per  volume, 
though  it  may  be  necessary  to  increase  this  price  to  $4.50  each. 
Orders  placed  now  will  be  filled  at  $3.75  per  volume.

THE  CRYSTAL  COFFIN 

BY  MAURICE  ROSTAND 

M.  Rostand's  Irst  novel  is  an  amazing  performance.  In  form,  an  auto-

written  by  the  younger  men  in  England  and  America.  It  is  neurotic, 
even  decadent,  but  it  is  at  all  times  a  distinguished  and  notable  addi-

In  October,  1921,  without 
any  great  beating  of  drums, 
we  published  Autumn,  a 
novel  by  a  young  Ameri- 
can, Robert  Nathan.  We 
published  it  principally  be- 
cause ws  liked  it  and  be- 
cause we  believed  in  the 
author's  future.  We  did 
not  expect  it  to  become  a 
best  seller:  and  it  hasn't. 
Nevertheless,  we  have  re- 
ceived upon  it  more  com- 
mendatory reviews,  and 
these  more  enthusiastic  in 
tone,  than  we  have  re- 
ceived uipon  any  purely 
literary  novel  by  an  un- 
known writer  since  we 
published  Limehouse 
Nights  by  Thomas  Bur4ce. 
"Exquisite,"  "charming." 

"a  genuine  contribution  to  lit- 
erature"— These  have  been,  in 
general,  the  kind  of  comments 
the  book  has  evoked. 

Autumn  is  now  nearing  the 
end  of  its  Second  Edition.  It 
is  selling  steadily,  in  small  quan- 
tities, in  a  manner  which  indi- 
cates that  it  will  continue  to  be 
in  demand  for  a  long  period. 
But  there  are  many  localities, 
and  many  more  bookstores,  in 
which  the  sale  is  negligible  or 
non-existent.  It  is  to  these  book- 
stores that  this  rather  uncon- 
ventional appeal  is  directed  If 
you  have  done  little  or  nothing 
with  Autumn — if  you  have 
among  your  customers  people 
who  are  responsive  to  exquisite 
writing,  to  word  pictures  deli- 
cately conceived  and  charmingly 
exacted — would  it  not  be  good 
business,  as  well  as  pleasant 
business,  to  introduce  them  to 
Robert  Nathan's  prose  .pastoral, 
Autumn?  ($1.75  net.)

A  SERVICE  TO  HUMANITY 

By  C.  P. 


Due  to  the  efforts  of  the  United  States 
Government  during  the  "vvar  and  since  to 
give  the  people  sane  enlightenment  concern- 
ing sex  functions  and  hygiene,  a  tremendous 
nation-wide  interest  in  the  subject  of  sex 
has  been  created,  and  the  public  reception 
of  sex  books  has  undergone  an  extra- 
ordinary change. 

Various  phases  of  sex  and  sex  manifesta- 
tions are  being  discussed  in  the  schools,  in 
the  churches,  in  the  press,  on  the  lecture 
platform,  at  social  gatherings,  and  all  other 
places. 

The  time  for  classifying  truly  helpful,  up- 
lifting books  with  "forbidden"  literature, 
and,  selling  them  sub-rosa,  has  gone  by.  It 
is  now  not  only  the  bookseller's  privilege 
but  his  duty  to  help  display  and  spread  as 
far  as  possible  information  which  brings 
happiness  and  content  to  millions  of  people 
and  prevents  the  disruption  of  homes  and 
divorce. 

This  sane  and  sensible  public  attitude  has 
been  brought  about  no  more  by  the  efforts 
of  the  United  States  Government  than  by 
the  life-long  humanitarian  work  of  Dr. 
William  J.  Robinson,  preeminent  sexologist 
in  America.  Dr.  Robinson  ranks  absolutely 
first  in  the  field.  No  one  else  speaks/  with 
his  authority.  No  one  else  has  his  scientific 
standing  or  prestige. 


(Besides  being  Chief  of  the  Dept.  of  Genito- 
Urinary  Diseases  and  Dermatology  at  the  Bronx 
Hospital  and  Dispensary  at  'New  York,  he  is 
Fellow  of  the  American  Medical  Ass'n,  Fellow 
of  the  N.  Y.  Academy  of  Medicine,  Member  of  tut 
N.  Y.  State  Medical  Society,  American  Medical 
Editors  Association,  American  Neurological  Asso- 
ciation, British  Society  for  the  Study  of  Sex 
Psychology,  Internationale  Gesellschaft  for  Sex- 
iialforschung,  American  Association  for  the  Ad- 
vancement of  Sciences,  etc.  Editor  of  Dr.  A. 
Jacobi's  Collected  Works,  and  Editor  of  a  dis- 
tinguished medical  and  sociological  monthly  maga- 
zine, the  Critic  and  Guide,  and  the  American 
Journal  ,of  Urology  and  Sexology.} 

Xo  one  has  written  on  the  subject  of  sex 
so  plainly,  so  simply,  so  informingly.  Gifted 
with  a  sensitive  understanding  and  sym- 
pathy for  his  fellow-humans,  endowed  with 
a  keenly  penetrating,  subtly  analytical  mind, 
and  equipped  with  a  knowledge  and  medical 
experience  unrivalled  by  any  other  sex- 
ologist in  America,  Dr.  Robinson  has  for 
years  devoted  himself  to  conferring  untold 
happiness  on  men  and  women  everywhere  by 
lifting  their  burdens  of  ignorant  misery  and 
leading  them  into  the  road  of  normal  un- 
derstanding. A  benefactor  to  the  race,  Dr. 
Robinson's  name  will  go  down  in  history 
as  one  of  the  few  great  liberators  of  man- 
kind.

Robinson,  foremost  authority  on  sex  in  America  and  the  most  popular  writer  on  th!s 
subject  in  the  world,  has  recently  increased  by  leaps  and  bounds  until  THOUSANDS 
OF  COPIES  ARE  BEING  SOLD  EACH  WEEK  IN  SPITE  OF  THE  FACT  THAT 
DR.  ROBINSON,  FOR  ETHICAL  REASONS,  HAS  REFRAINED  FROM  GIVING 
THEM  ANY  EXPLOITATION  WHATSOEVER.  The  demand  for  them  has  been  a 
voluntary  one,  brought  about  largely  by  word  of  mouth  publicity.  Some  of  the  books

Dr.  Robinson,  $1.50 

Some  ministers  are  refusing  to  marry  couples

judgment  without  it.

advocates  the  granting  of  liberties  to  wftmen  which  will  startle  even  the  most  radical 
advocates  of  feminine  equality. 

The  author,  Dr.  Ralcy  Husted  Bell,  definitely  expresses  thoughts  which  have  been 
locked  in  the  minds  and  hearts  of  some  men  and  women  for  years,  but  which  no  one 
has  hitherto  dared  to  utter.  Scarcely  off  the  press,  it  has  already  given  rise  to 
several  bitter  controversies. 

The  large  sale  which  the  book  is  already  having  justifies  us  in  predicting  many 
reprintings.  We  suggest  that  you  get  your  order  in  at  the  earliest  date  possible  and 
take  advantage  of  the  extensive  advertising  campaign.

the  year's   best  fiction~ 


If  you,  Mr.  Dealer,  are  realizing  to 
the  full  the  possibilities  for  tre- 
mendous sales  in  Grosset  &  Dun- 
lap  Popular  Copyright  Fiction. 
A  little  incident  that  was  called  to 
our  attention  the  other  day  illus- 
trates the  vast  difference  between 
the  possibilities  and  the  actual 
realization  in  many  cases. 
A  dealer  in  a  certain  town  was  the 
only  one  who  was  handling  Popu- 
lar Copyrights.  He  did  a  very 
good  business,  but  his  stock  of 
Popular  Copyrights  was  displayed 
on  shelves  well  in  the  rear  of 
the  store  and  he  made  no  special 
effort  to  push  the  line  by  making 
special  displays.  They  enjoyed  a 
fair  turn-over  each  year  and  he  was 
content  with  that. 

And  then  one  day  another  dealer  in  the  town  became  interested  in  Popular 
Copyrights  as  a  live  proposition;  he  advertised,  put  in  window  displays, 
featured  the  line  prominently  in  his  store,  and  made  it  known  generally 
that  he  was  selling  Popular  Fiction  at  a  Popular  Price. 
The  response  was  tremendous.     When  the  first  dealer  saw  what  a  fine 
business  the  second  man  was  doing  he  did  some  hard  thinking,  with  the 
result  that  now  both  merchants  are  on  their  toes,  are  handling  Grosset  & 
Dunlap  Fiction  as  a  feature  line,  are  adding  to  the  pleasure  of  their

Two  New  Novels  You'll  Like 


By  SIDNEY  WILLIAMS 
Literary  Editor  of  the  Philadelphia  "North  American" 

An  absorbing  mystery  tale  which  taxes  the  imag- 
ination to  the  limit.  It  is  an  ingeniously  tangled 
web  of  criminality,  the  supernatural,  and  love. 

Richard  Marston,  a  prominent  young  lawyer, 
while  attending  a  house  party  with  old  friends,  finds 
himself  involved  with  the  other  guests  in  a  mys- 
terious murder.  Dr.  Ben,  the  old  family  physician, 
and  Marston  work  together  with  the  precision  of 
fate  and  in  the  end  the  guilty  person  is  cornered. 


The  book  is  full  of  the 
danger.

THEN  CAME  MOLLY 

By  HARRIET  V.  C.  OGDEN 

From  a  quiet,  old-fashioned  southern  plantation 
conies  Molly,  to  restless,  hurrying  New  York.  She 
begins  her  life  there  as  an  art  student  under  quaint 
old  Joseph  Oliphant,  who  is  almost  as  lovable  as 
Molly  herself. 

Miss  Ogden  tells  with  great  charm  of  student  life 
in  New  York's  art  colony,  of  the  earnest,  hard- 
working, competitive  spirit  which  is  as  necessary  to 
art  as  to  business.  Molly  enters  the  yearly  competi- 
tion and  a  large  part  of  the  story  concerns  her  battle 
to  success  against  jealousy  and  misunderstanding.

REVELATION 


By  DULCIE  DEAMEK 

"Bright  with  all  the 
color  of  the  East" 

—  Westminster  Gazette 

A  N  extraordinary  achievement  in  fiction— combining  the 
'  sensuous  and  tensely  dramatic  appeal  with  a  deep 
religious  inspiration.    A  novel  of  this  character  is  bound 
to  have  an  immense  sale. 


REVELATION  is  a  tale  of 
Jerusalem    and    of    the 
lovely  slave  girl,  Astarte, 
The   book   deals  very   frankly 
with  the  manners  of  the  period, 
and  there  is  a  vivid  and  graphic 
description  of  a  typical,  volup- 
tuous   Roman    banquet.     The 
color  and  atmosphere  and  cus- 
toms of  an  ancient  age  and  of 


the  emotions  and  thoughts  of 
its  people  are  re-created  for  us 
with  vividness  and  beauty  and 
with  an  unusual  simplicity  of 
phraseology  and  style. 

Astarte  has  been  trained 
from  childhood  as  a  dancer — 
she  had  led  a  life  of  seclusion 
with  that  profession  as  an  ulti- 


mate  ambition.  Her  destina- 
tion, she  knew,  was  the  house 
of  some  man  of  wealth.  The 
account  of  her  sale  to  Herod, 
of  her  first  dance  in  public, 
where  Valerius,  a  Roman,  sees 
her  and  desires  her,  of  her 
meeting  with  David,  the  Jew, 
who  rescues  her  and  carries 
her  off  with  him  to;his  home,  is 
done  with  realism  and  rare 
beauty.  Astarte  dies  of  poison 
given  by  a  rival  and  is  restored 
to  life  by  Jesus.  Her  adven- 
tures after  this  are  dramatic, 
as  is  her  death  in  the  arms  of 
David,  the  only  man  who  really 
understood  her  innocence  of 
mind  and  chastity  of  spirit. 

The 
and 

which  raises  it  above  the  head 
of  mere  fiction  to  heights  of 
extraordinary  power  and  imag- 
ination. It  is,  in  our  judgment, 
a  really  great  inspirational 
book.  Book  after  book  of  real- 


book  takes  on  a   deep 
sincere    religious    note 


ism  is  being  written  nowadays. 
We  feel  that  in  publishing 
REVELATION,  a  beautiful 
and  romantic  tale  of  those  ad- 
venturous days  in  our  early 
civilization  when  girls  were 
sold  in  slavery,  when  Jesus 
walked  the  streets  healing  the 
sick  and' .restoring  the  dead  to 
life,  when  women-  were  stoned 
for  adultery  and  looked  upon 
as  the  mere  playthings  of  men, 
we  are  gratifying  a  literary 
taste  which  is  none  the  less  fer- 
vid because  it  has  been  unsatis- 
fied. 

It  is  a  book  throbbing  with 
poignant  sentiment  and  intense 
religious  fervour.  Dismiss  its 
beauty  of  language,  its  pas- 
sages of  sheer  poetry,  as  of 
only  secondary  importance,  if 
you  will,  and  what  remains  is 
a  stirring  and  graphic  picture 
of  the  most  significant  and 
thought  provoking  days  in  the 
history  of  the  world.  '  $2.00

From  Shakspere  to  Sheridan 
by  Alwin  Thaler.    Ready  early  in  April 

Every  theatre-goer  will  find  in  this  charmingly  written  book  both  profit  and  delight.  It 
treats  of  the  life  story  of  the  theatre  in  Shakspere's  time  and  during  the  two  centuries 
.after  him,  showing  how  continuous  has  been  the  great  tradition,  how  minutely  and  cir- 
cumstantially the  theatre  of  the  seventeenth  and  eighteenth  century  modelled  its  activities 
upon  those  of  Shakspere  and  his  fellows,  and  suggesting,  in  turn,  how  much  the  theatre 
of  our  day  and  hour  owes  to  that  of  yesterday.  The  author  discusses  the  playwrights, 
the  players,  the  managers,  the  relations  between  the  theatres  and  the  court,  and  the  play- 
houses. He  takes  the  reader,  as  it  were,  behind  the  footlights  and  into  the  fascinating 
world  on  the  ot'ier  side  of  the  curtain.  Reproductions  of  rare  items  frtom  the  Harvard

Sorbonne  at  Harvard  during  the  Academic  year  1915-16,  and  his  book  in  the  original 
French  has  already  done  much  to  strengthen  the  cordial  intellectual  relations  between  our 
country  and  his.  In  its  English  form  it  will  be  of  value  to  special  students  of  educational 
problems  in  America  and  also  to  young  people  and  their  parents  with  higher  education  or

rants our  saying  that  this  volume  w'fcll  become  an  indispensable  manual  for  every  architect

thus  contributing  to  accuracy  in  presenting  the  activities  of  the  past  as  a  guide  to  the  pres- 
ent and  the  future.  The  material  is  arranged  under  three  main  headings :  General  Collec- 
tions, Collections  by  States,  Collections  by  Subject-Matter.  Special  attention  has  been  given 
to  the  Latin-American  reports  or  Memorias  of  the  ministers  of  foreign  relations.  It  is  a 
work  of  prime  importance  to  students  of  international  relations,  history,  law^  and  related

The  Influence  of  Milton 

by  Raymond  D.  Havens.    Ready  shortly 

Only  the  principal  subject  covered  by  Professor  Haven's  book  is  indicated  in  the  title. 
It  goes  beyond  this  in  making  an  historical  and  critical  evaluation  of  the  works  Milton  in- 
fluenced, in  tracing  the  course  of  blank-verse  translations  and  the  development  oi  the  prin- 
cipal types  of  unrimed  poetry,  and  in  presenting  the  student  with  the  means  for  reaching 
a  better  comprehension  of  the  lyric  awakening  in  the  eighteenth  century.  The  work  fol- 
lows the  history  of  non-dramatic  blank  verse  from  its  beginnings  to  the  boyhood  of 
Tennyson,  and  of  the  sonnet  from  the  restoration  of  the  Stuarts  to  the  accession  of  Vic- 
toria. As  a  history  of  English  verse  from  about  1700  to  1850  and  as  a  piece  of  reasoned 
literary  criticism,  the  publication  of  the  book  will  be  an  event  in  American  scholarship.

FOR  RELIGIOUS  BOOK  WEEK 

ART  AND  RELIGION 

By 
VON  OGDEN  VOGT 

Pastor  of  the  Wellington  Avenue  Congregational  Church,  Chicago 

Our  Puritan  forefathers  thought  beauty  the  work  of  the 
Devil — and  so  were  responsible  for  much  of  our  ugly  church 
architecture.  Mr.  Vogt  here  points  the  way  to  a  higher  con- 
ception of  religious  worship. 

"A  capital  book.  The  man  who  glances  at  the  title,  'Art  and 
Religion,'  and  thinks  instantly  of  some  fantastic  treatise  on  'art  for  art's 
sake  in  religion,  will  be  all  astray  in  his  judgment.  The  book  is  solid, 
sensible,  and  readable."  Charles  R.  Brown. 

"The  book  ought  to  be  read  by  many  ministers,  and  ought  also  to 
be  got  into  the  hands  of  the  lay  leaders  of  our  churches.  .  .  .May  it 
have  the  large  circulation  which  it  deserves."  Henry  Sloane  Coffin. 

"I  have  read  your  book  with  a  great  deal  of  pleasure  and  interest, 
and  have  heard  most  enthusiastic  criticism  of  the  entire  treatment.  I  feel 
that  you  have  expressed  in  a  very  strong  way  the  feeling,  which  I  have 
tried  a  great  many  times  to  express  in  a  very  limited  way."  Charles 
Collens  (of  Allen  &  Collens,  Architects,  Boston). 

"I  cannot  refrain  from  offering  you  my  thanks  for  the  delight  of 
reading  a  book  so  instructive,  so  patiently  wise,  and  so  beautiful." 
G.  A.  Johnston  Ross,  Union  Theological  Seminary,  New  York. 

"I  have  just  read  your  book  greatly  to  my  interest  and  profit.  I  only 
wish  that  I  had  had  it  a  year  or  so  ago!"  From  a  clergyman  who  has 
just  completed  a  new  church  building.

THE  DISCIPLINES  OF  LIBERTY 

By  Willard  L.  Sperry , 

(Pastor  of  Central  Congregational  Church,  Boston) 

"The  essays  are  both  enlightening  and  refreshing.  They  charm  with  their  beauty 
and  stimulate  with  their  fervor.  They  provoke  one  to  think  for  one's-self."  Henry 
Sloane  Coffin  in  The  Literary  Review. 

"We  know  of  few  recent  books  whose  perusal  will  repay  so  well  the  minister."  The 
Christian  Register. 

"Will  make  any  man  bigger  who  reads  it."     The  Christian-Evangelist. 

"Finely  reasoned  and  deeply  Christian."     The  Churchman. 

"One  of  the  most  refreshing  and  stimulating  volumes  that  it  has  been  our  privilege 
to  read  in  recent  months."     Federal  Council  Bulletin.

McClurg's  Spring  Fiction 

4  '  T  EX ' '  By  Clarence  E.  Mulford 

"TEX"  is  a  thrilling  chapter  from  life  on  the. plains  in  the  West  during  the  days 
when  nimble  triggers  were  arbiters  of  justice.  It  is  the  tale  of  how  one  man's 
daring  and  superior  intelligence  outwitted  a  whole  community  for  the  sake)  of  the 
honor  of  the  young  woman  he  loved.  From  the  first  page  there  is  the  atmosphere 
of  the  wide  stretching  range  and  the  trails  of  the  Old  West.  Life  as  it  was  lived 
in  the  land  of  sombreros,  chaps  and  gunbelts  is  pictured  vividly,  and  the  motives, 
ambitions,  and  revenges  of  the  folk  of  the  plains  are  laid  bare.  The  story  fas- 
cinates and  thrills.  Price  $1.90. 


Square  Deal  Sanderson  was  a  son  of  the  great  uncultured  primitive  West.  An  old 
time  cowboy,  his  code  was  the  knightly  code  of  a  man  of  honor.  He  was  a  sort 
of  Bayard  of  the  plains,  without  fear,  honest  and  clean  minded.  For  the  sake  of 
an  orphaned  girl,  he  braved  successfully,  the  persecution  of  a  trio  of  land  grabbers 
who  had  threatened  to  wrest  her  ranch  from  her. 

The  story  throbs  with  the  excitement  of  the  wild  life  of  the  range.    Price  $1.90. 

CLAIM    NUMBER    ONE       By  George  W.  Ogdtn 

CLAIM  NUMBER  ONE  begins  with  a  colorful  description  of  the  opening  up  of 
an  Indian  reservation  in  Wyoming.  Rich  men,  poor  men,  beggarmen,  thieves  im- 
pelled by  the  lure  of  chance  had  gathered  at  the  mushroom  city  of  Comanche. 
The  drawing  was  to  be  by  lot  and  the  lucky  holder  of  number  one  was  entitled  to 
first  choice  of  the  rich  lands.  It  meant  a  fortune.  Dr.  Warren  Slavens  drew  claim 
number  one,  but  before  he  established  his  ownership  he  had  a  hard  battle  with 
crooks  and  politicians. 

The  great  charm  of  this  story  lies  in  its  characterizations  and  its  atmosphere. 
Mr.  Ogden  somehow  makes  one  feel  that  here  is  the  real  thing ;  the  West  in  all  its 
rawness ;  its  vices  and  its  virtues.  Its  feet  were,  it  is  true,  in  the  dust,  but  its 
head  was  lifted  proudly  aloft,  and  its  eyes  were  directed  upward  seeing  in  the  skies 
the  vision  of  the  future.  Price  $1.90.

THE    LOBSTICK    TRAIL       By  Dougfas  Durkin 

An  outdoor  story  that  is  as  bracing  as  the  tingling  intake  of  a  big  breath  of 
northern  air;  something  real  and  strong  and  purposeful.  It  is  replete  with  action 
and  stirring  conflict,  with  its  background  of  lonely  trails,  yapping  dog  teams, 
fearless  men  and  splendid  women.  It's  tenderness  and  greatness  that  count  on 
the  long  pulls  and  so,  while  it  is  a  man's  story,  it's  also  the  kind  a  woman  loves 
to  read.  Price  $1.75.

GOLDIE  GREEN 

A  Novel  by  SAMUEL  MERWIN 

A  cold,  clear  brain,  a  sharp,  darting  tongue,  youth,  beauty, 
personality  and  pluck;  clothes — gay,  short  and  vivid;  no  cul- 
ture or  traditions,  little  schooling  and  no  advantages — that's 
Goldie  when  she  makes  her  bow.  It  is  a  joy  to  see  her  go, 
and  grow;  learn  to  do  the  right  thing,  fight  and  push  onward, 
succeed  in  business  and  prove  herself  the  man  of  the  family, 
escape  entanglements  and  marry  the  man  of  her  choice.

THE   AMERICAN    BOOK   TRADE   JOURNAL 
Founded  by  F.  Leypoldt 

March    11,   1922 

"/  hold  every  man  a  debtor  to  his  profession, 
from  the  which,  as  men  of  course  do  seek  to 
receive  countenance  and  Profit,  so  ought  they  of 
duty  to  endeavor  themselves,  by  way  of  amends, 
to  be  a  help  and  ornament  thereunto"  —  BACON. 


How  the  Tariff  Stands 

THE  Republican  members  of  the  Senate 
Finance  Committee  in  closed  sessions  are 
writing  a  new  tariff  to  be  presented  to 
Congress.  Democratic  members  are  as  much 
outside  of  the  confidence  of  those  writing  the 
Bill  as  the  public  itself.  The  press  news  from 
Washington  seems  to  indicate  that  the  Bill 
is  likely  to  be  drawn  with  the  duty  levied  on 
the  American  wholesale  price  rather  than  on 
the  invoice  price  or  American  valuation.  In 
the  case  of  books,  the  American  wholesale 
price  would  greatly  increase  the  duty,  as  has 
been  pointed  out  in  detail  to  the  Congressional 
leaders. 

Booksellers,  especially  those  in  states  having 
Republican  members  on  the  Senate  Finance 
Committee  would  do  well  to  use  any  means  in 
their  power  to  bring  the  situation  to  the  at- 
tention of  these  senators,  according  to  the 
outline  printed  in  tiie  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY 
of  February  18. 

The  Republican  members  of  the  Senate 
Finance  Committee  are  : 

Porter  J.  MeCuraber,  North  Dakota;  Reed 
Smoot,  Utah;  Joseph  S.  Frelinghusen,  New 
Jersey;  Robert  M.  La  Follette,  Wisconsin; 
William  P.  Dillingham,  Vermont;  George  P. 
McLean,  Connecticut;  Charles  Curtis,  Kan- 
sas; James  E.  Watson,  Indiana;  Willam  M. 
Calder,  New  York;  Howard  Sutherland,  West 
Virginia. 

John  Macrae,  Vice  President  of  E.  P.  Dut- 
ton  &  Company,  was  again  in  Washington  be- 
fore sailing  for  Europe,  and  Ward  Bonsall,  at- 
torney-at-law,  605  Southern  Building,  Wash- 
ington, has  been  closely  following  the  book- 
trade's  interest.  Dr.  M.  L.  Raney,  representing 
the  libraries  and  educational  interests,  was 
again  in  Washington  the  first  of  the  month. 

With  the  strong  pressure  on  the  Repub- 
lican Congress  to  produce  something  in  the 
way  of  a  Tariff  Bill,  it  may  be  that  when 
this  new  revision  is  produced  they  will  be 


able  to  get  quick  action  from  the  two  houses 
in  spite  of  reported  disagreements  between 
House  and  Senate.  If  this  is  so,  the  book- 
trade  lias  never  faced  a  more  crucial  situation, 
writh  the  rare  book  business  being  threatened 
with  tremendous  handicaps  with  the  duty 
as  levied,  the  foreign  book  business  in  an 
equally  unfortunate  situation  and  the  new  book 
business  placed  under  handicaps  just  when 
international  exchange  in  ideas  is  of  all  things 
important.

Spring  Book  Production 

THE  list  of  spring  books  covering  all  pub- 
lications from  the  first  of  January  up 
to  the  summer  months  as  far  as  can  be 
foretold,  consists  this  year  of  a  little  over 
two  thousand  volumes.  This  is  practically 
the  same  number  as  contained  in  the  announce- 
ments of  1921.  Both  these  figures  are  slightly 
less  than  some  of  the  totals  of  previous  years 
andj  indicatte  that  the  publishing  wiorld  is 
taking  commendable  care  in  the  selection  of 
new  titles,  so  that  while  the  market  for  books 
increases  the  number  of  titles  for  the  book- 
seller to  handle  has  not  increased. 

The  spring  season  has  greatly  increased  in 
importance  in  the  last  few  years,  as  pub- 
lishers have  shown  a  very  marked  inclination 
to  spread  the  business  thru  the  year  and  have 
put  onto  spring  lists  titles  of  importance 
equal  to  the  fall  announcements.  This  policy 
has  been  justified  by  the  results  so  far 
obtained. 

Price  Maintenance 

WHILE  the  booksellers,  as  has  been  in- 
dicated by  the  letter  published  last  week 
from  C.  E.  Butler,  are  actively  to  discuss 
price  maintenance  and  its  importance  at  the 
Washington  Convention,  there  are  new  aspects 
to  the  problem  that  are  coming  to  the  front 
and  new  and  different  ways  in  which  the  books 
are  being  offered  below  the  announced  price. 
Books  are,  of  course,  among  the  few  items  of 
merchandise  that  are  always  advertised  with  a 
price  attached,  so  that  variations  from  these 
announcements  are  very  quickly  noted  by  the 
public.  It  is  this  fact  that  makes  them  so  fre- 
quently used  by  department  stores  as  a  means  of 
suggesting  to  the  public  that  they  are  in  the 
habit  of  selling  below  other  people.  Today, 
Philadelphia  as  well  as  New  York  is  suffering 
from  a  threat  of  that  kind,  as  Snellenburg's 
department  store  is  now  featuring  some  of  the 
leading  fiction.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Philadelphia  is  also  responsible  for  the  new 
cutting  in  fiction  thru  the  Ladies'  Home  Jour- 
nal, tho  the  effect  of  this  naturally  goes  thru 
the  country.  The  last  text  page  of  the  March 
number  carries  this  heading,  "Let  Us  Make 
You  A  Present  of  These  Books  Cost  Free 
To  You."  Then  follows  a  list  of  eight  books : 
"The  Girls"  by  Edna  Ferber,  "Her  Father's 
Daughter"  by  Gene  Stratton-Porter,  "Alice 
Adams"  by  Booth  Tarkington,  "Main  Street" 
by  Sinclaiir  Lewis,  "The  Brimming  Cup"  by 
Dorothy  Canfield,  "The  Mysterious  Rider"  by 
Zane  Grey,  "The  Obstacle  Race"  by  Ethel  M. 
Dell,  "Dangerous  Ages"  by  Rose  Macaulay. 
Any  of  these  will  be  sent  postpaid  for  $1.50  in 
connection  with  a  new  subscription  for  the 
Ladies'  Home  Journal.  The  bookstore  would 
have  to  sell  them  ior  about  $2.10  postpaid  with- 
out the  magazine.  The  advertising  texts  reads  : 

"Just  take  your  choice  of  any  or  all  of  these 
books — each  among  the  most  widely  popular 
of  the  day.  We  have  culled  the  whole  field  of 
current  fiction  to  select  the  books  you  will 
want  to  read  and  own.  They  are  all  new — 
the  original  editions  of  the  first  publishers,  not 
later  cheaper  reprints.  Already  they  have  been 
read  by  thousands  upon  thousands  of  people 
who  have  been  glad  to  pay  the  full  book-store 
price  for  them.  There  is  only  one  reason  for 
their  immediate  wide  popularity — they  are  big, 
interesting,  worthwhile  'books ;  the  sort  you  will 
want  to  read  and  re-read;  the  sort  you  can 
>feel  proud  to  present  to  any  relative  or  friend. 
And  you  may  have  any  or  all  of  them,  abso- 
lutely without  charge,  df  you  will  follow  the 
simple  instructions  given  below." 

The  booksellers,  in  commenting  on  this, 
point  out  that  the  reason  they  are  "the  most 
widely  popular  books  of  the  day"  is  that  they 
have  been  made  so  thru  the  bookstores.  They 
argue  that  df  the  book's  reputation  is  made 
thru  the  bookstore,  no  journal  for  the  sake  of 
increasing  its  circulation  should  buy  them  any 
cheaper  than  the  bookstore  buys  them,  which 
would  prevent,  they  point  out,  any  such  offer 
as  the  above.  They  feel  that  those  people  "who 
have  been  glad  to  pay  the  full  bookstore 
price"  will  next  time  wait  a  while  before 
buydng. 

Within  a  few  weeks,  one  of  the  prominent 
religious  papers  which  had  not  previously  spe- 
cialized on  books  announced  that  it  would  give 
to  any  minister  who  was  a  subscriber  a  book 
service  that  would  include  a  special  discount. 
It  was  felt  by  those  who  saw  the  announcement 
that  the  editor  did  not  realize  how  much 
the  book-trade  had  at  stake  in  avoiding 
a  drawback  to  the  old  discount  to  ministers 
condition,  and  a  letter  explaining  the  situation, 
written  by  President  Herr  of  the  American 
Booksellers'  Association,  brought  a  very  cour- 
teous acknowledgment  from  the  editor,  who 


agreed  to  give  up  his  plan. 

In  an  advertisement  of  The  Independent  and 
Weekly  Review  in  the  Yale  Review  of  Janu- 
ary, the  following  paragraph  is  found : 

A  Secret 

"We  can  only  whisper  it  in  your  ear  in 
strict  confidence :  From  the  moment  you  be- 
come a  subscriber,  you  are  entitled  to  liberal 
discounts  on  all  your  purchases  of  books — 
books  of  any  kind — so  that  in  the  course  of 
a  year  you  are  quite  likely  to  get  back  con- 
siderably more  than  the  cost  of  your  sub- 
scription. We'll  tell  you  about  it  the  moment 
you  become  a  subscriber." 

Foreign  Exchange  and  Books 

EVERY  industry  that  has  any  international 
business  has  reason  to  be  pleased  with  the 
rapid  progress  that  has  been  made  since  the 
first  of  the  year  in  leveling  up  the  rates  of 
foreign  exchange,  and  this  is  particularly  true 
with  a  business  like  the  book-trade,  whose 
relations  are  largely  with  countries  where  the 
gains  have  been  substantial  and  well  sustained. 
Pounds  sterling  are  now  at  about  ten  per 
cent  discount  on  the  dollar,  which  is  a  tremen- 
dous gain  when  compared  with  the  condition 
one  year  or  two  years  ago.  This  has  the  ef- 
fect of  making  the  books  imported  cost  more 
on  this  side,  but  it  paves  the  way  for  more 
interchange  of  selling,  the  only  sound  con- 
dition in  the  long  run,  and  it  makes  possible 
the  sale  of  more  American  books  in  England 
which  was  not  largely  possible  under  the  de- 
preciated exchange.  The  gain  in  Montreal  ex- 
change is  also  very  marked,  and,  instead  of  a 
thirteen  or  fourteen  per  cent  discount,  as  would 
have  prevailed  a  year  ago,  the  rates  are  now  at 
about  two  per  cent  discount.  Canada  is  a 
very  large  buyer  from  the  American  market 
because  of  its  proximity  to  this  source  of  book 
supply  and  because  the  type  of  book  published 
here  and  the  form  in  which  it  is  published 
proves  attractive  in  the  retail  stores  of  Canada. 
Under  the  depreciated  exchange,  it  was  diffi- 
cult to  maintain  a  parity  of  price  on  .  both 
sides  of  the  border,  and  it  gave  the  Canadian 
publishers  and  jobbers  a  decided  preference 
for  English  editions  when  suitable.  Many 
American  publishers  have  carried  credit  in 
the  Canadian  banks,  in  order  to  make  trading 
in  that  direction  easy  and  are  now  repaid  for 
their  care  by  the  gradual  approach  to  par. 
The  improvement  in  this  Canadian  rate  has, 
of  course,  been  partly  accomplished  by  the 
gain  in  English  exchange.  Under  normal  con- 
ditions, Canada  accumulates  large  credits  in 
London  for  goods  exported  there,  which  she 
used  in  New  York  for  goods  purchased  here, 
so  that  London  becomes  an  intermediary  in 
leveling  the  exchange.

Who  Reads  Business  Books? 

By  Ethel  Cleland 

Librarian  of  Business  Branch,  Indianapolis  Public  Library 


THE  pert  answer  to  the  question  "who 
reads  business  books?"  is  the  obvious  one, 
"business  men."  It  is  fatally  easy,  un- 
fortunately, to  label  and  even1  visualize  groups, 
To  how  many  must  the  term  "business  man" 
bring  promptly  to  mind  the  cut  of  the  pros- 
perous looking,  well-dressed  individual  who, 
before  a  background  of  efficient  office  or  busy 
city  glimpsed  thru  an  effective  window,  is 
dictating  to  an  attractive  and  equally  well- 
dressed  stenographer  or  handing  undoubtedly 
important  papers  to  an  alert  subordinate,  again 
well-dressed,  with  which  magazine  covers  and 
advertisements  have  made  us  familiar  to  the 
point  of  satiety.  Yet  everyone  knows  per- 
fectly well  that  aside  ifrom  some  general  basis 
of  classification  as  "those  engaged  in  the  pro- 
duction, buying  and  selling  of  goods,"  business 
men  are  no  more  cut  on  a  single  pattern  than 
any  other  large  group  of  human  beings  and 
that  they  are  distinguished  individually  from 
one  another  by  decided  differences  in  char- 
acter, temperament,  taste,  aspirations  and  needs. 
The  question  "what  kind  of  business  books 
are  most  in  demand?"  would  be  an  easier  one 
to  meet.  The  answer  is,  without  hesitation. 
the  practical  book  on  the  specific  subject.  In 
flhe  presence  of  an  assemblage  of  business 
books,  most  business  men  are  immediately  and 
strongly  attracted  to  the  ones  that  deal  with 
their  own  kinds  of  businesses  or  those  closely 
allied  to  them. 

Degrees  of  Popularity 

Thus  it  can  readily  be  seen  that  books  on 
accounting,  salesmanship,  advertising,  credit, 
business  letters,  office  organization — the  books, 
in  fact,  that  treat  of  functions  common  to 
practically  all  forms  of  business — are  the  most 
popular  in  a  library  of  business  books,  sim- 
ply 'because  they  discuss  the  problems  with 
which  a  majority  of  those  in  the  business 
world  are  engaged.  On  the  other  hand,  a 
book  on  the  duties  of  an  executive  in  a  large 
organization  would  be  most  in  demand  by  the 
comparatively  .small  class  of  executives  and 
those  definitely  iin  line  or  ambitious  for  the 
higher  offices.  It  would  probably  be  conserva- 
tive to  estimate  that  a  good  book  on  selling 
would  be  asked  for  twenty  times  when  a  book, 
telling  how  to  organize  a  corporation — perhaps 
a  better  book  intrinsically — would  be  asked 
fur  once,  the  explanation  of  course  being  that 
there  are  more  men  in  the  selling  game  than 
there  are  men  who  are  organizing  and  financ- 
ing new  business. 


But  considering  the  readers,  not  the  books, 
the  librarian  of  the  business  branch  of  the 
public  library  of  a  mid-west  city,  after  four 
years'  experience  with  business  books,  can  say 
without  hesitation  that  the  users  of  business 
literature  divide  up  naturally,  in  her  mind, 
into  three  large  but  rather  ill-defined  groups. 

Advantage   of  Selection 

A  man  was  noticed  at  frequent  irregular  in- 
tervals wandering  around  the  single  room  of 
this  business  branch  library,  examining  thought- 
fully the  books  on  the  open  shelves  here  and 
there,  taking  occasional  notes  of  them,  but 
never  borrowing  a  volume.  A  chance  question 
on  his  part  gave  the  one  in  charge  the  de- 
sired opportunity  to  ask  if  he  did  not  want 
to  borrow  some  of  the  books  in  which  he 
seemed  so  interested.  His  reply  was  in  the 
negative,  but  he  went  on  to  explain  that  he 
was  only  in  the  city  as  his  business  brought 
him  there  from  time  to  time  and  that, 
having  once  stumbled  by  the  merest  chance 
on  this  specialized  collection,  he  never  failed 
to  drop  in  whenever  he  had  an  hour  to 
spend  to  look  over  the  books.  His  home  city 
was  a  large  one  with  a  public  library  pro- 
portionately large  where  he  found  it  difficult 
to  get  into  direct  contact  with  books  as  he 
was  able  to  do  in  this  smaller  collection.  The 
notes  he  took  were  just  memoranda  of  authors 
and  titles  of  'books  he  thought  he  would  like 
to  read  and,  armed  with  these,  he  could. ap- 
proach his  own  more  formidable  library  and 
boldly  ask  for  what  he  wanted. 

There  is  a  moral,  of  course,  in  this  little 
story  of  which  both  booksellers  and  librarians 
are  already  cognizant — the  desirability  of  mak- 
ing readily  accessible  in  classified  groups  the 
books  in  stock. 

But  further,  this  man  typifies  a  large  and 
very  interesting  class  of  readers  of  business 
books.  He  is  the  man  who  likes  to  read,  who 
wants  to  know,  who  has  the  habit  of  going 
to  books,  not  merely  for  his  own  particular 
problems  in  business,  but  for  more  than  that, 
for  the  broad  background  that  knowledge  of 
general  business1  and  of  other  people's  business 
gives,  and  for  real  enjoyment,  to  him  the 
pleasantest  way  of  passing  the  leisure  hour. 
He  is  as  interested  by  a  new  book  on  direct 
advertising  as  he  is  in  one  that  analyzes  forms 
of  investments  altho  he  may  be  only  indirectly 
interested  in  advertising  and  neither  a  bond 
salesman  nor  an  investor.  Discussions  of  plans

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


for  better  sales  organization  or  up-to-date 
methods  in  factory  .personnel  work  are  equally 
alive  to  him  and  no  one  T>ut  himself  knows 
how  much  of  what  he  reads  goes  immediately 
or  ultimately  into  his  own  business.  He  stim- 
ulates librarians  to  order  new  books  promptly 
and  giives  them  valuable  aid  by  his  estimates 
of  the  books  he  reads,  criticism  which,  while 
not  always  that  of  the  expert  or  specialist, 
is  criticism  very  much  worth  while,  that  of 
the  intelligent  reader.  One  readily  suspects 
him  of  being  a  reader  of  other  than  business 
literature,  that  he  likes  the  latest  good  novel 
or  volume  of  essays,  a  book  of  travel  or 
biography.  He  is,  in  fact,  the  main  whose 
strong  intellectual  curiosity  finds  its  satis- 
faction in  the  printed,  page  and  he  offers  .  no 
problem  to  the  dispenser  of  'books. 

The  Man  Who  Wants  to  Know 

A  step  lower,  at  least  in  catholicity  of  taste, 
than  this  man  who  wants  to  know,  but  a  reader 
to  be  taken  just  as  seriously  if  not  more  seri- 
ously, iis  the  man  who  can  be  roughly  classed 
as  the  ambitious  reader.  He  is  drawn  to  books, 
not  from  love  of  reading — do  we  all  realize 
what  an  acquired  haibit  reading  is  after  all 
and  what  a  wonderful  one? — 'but  from  an 
honest  conviction  that  he  needs  what  books 
can  give  ham  whether  he  is  going  to  enjoy 
the  process  of  absorption  or  not.  Prompted 
often  by  a  consciousness  that  he  has  missed 
what  many  obtain  in  the  ordinary  progress 
of  education  or  perhaps  in  contact  with  others 
coming  to  a  realization  of  his  own  limitations, 
he  feels  keenly  the  lack  of  an  intellectual 
background,  of  a  broad  view  of  business, 
something  beyond  his  own  immediate  job, 
which  he  has  been  told  reading  supplies.  Some- 
times he  is  following  a  prescribed  course  of 
business  reading  or  is  taking  outside  of  work 
hours  a  course  of  study  for  which  collateral 
reading  is  suggested.  He  is  a  much-toJbe-ad- 
mired  reader  of  business  books  ior  he  is  strug- 
gling against  handicaps,  the  strongest  of  which 
is  that  usually  he  is  beginning  rather  late  in 
life  to  read  and  is  finding  what  should  be  a 
pleasure  and  a  relaxation,  a  task  and  what 
should  be  easy,  up  hill  work.  But  he  gets  much 
out  of  his  reading  if  he  is  dogged  enough  to 
persist  and  he  stands  a  fine  chance  of  develop- 
ing into  the  kind  of  a  reader  described  above 
to  whom  books  and  reading  are  necessities  of 
life  like  food  and  clothes. 

This  type  of  ambitious  reader  is  often 
drawn  at  first,  when  he  ventures  beyond  the 
books  OP  just  his  own  line  of  business,  to 
those  books  which,  unfortunately  and  for  want 
of  a  better  term,  are  called  "inspirational 
books."  Designed  to  encourage  latent  qualities 
of  ambition,  self-confidence  and  personal  effi- 
ciency, these  books  form  a  strong  group  in 


themselves  'but  they  serve  an  added  purpose 
in  a  business  library  as  a  sort  of  bright  bait 
to  lure  on  to  more  definite  and  substantial 
books  those  not  iin  the  habit  of  reading.  An- 
other popular  entrance  to  the  rich  field  of 
business  literature  is  thru  the  gateway  labelled 
"psychology."  This  word  alone  has  achieved 
a  remarkable  .power  of  fascination  in  many 
lines  of  modern  literature  but  in  none  more 
so  than  that  of  business  writing  where  its 
inclusion  in  a  title  insures  that  book  from 
ever  standing  long  idle  upon  the  library  shelf. 
And  isn't  it  a  really  wonderful  thing  that 
books  that  treat  of  the  science  of  the  human 
mind  as  it  is  definitely  applied  to  the  dealings 
of  the  business  world  should  be  read  with  such 
avidity  by  men  who  are  for  tihe  most  part 
not  accustomed  to  theorizing  or  analyzing  but 
whose  daily  concern  is  with  practical  pro- 
cesses and  actual  results?  Perhaps  just  there 
lies  a  lot  of  the  fascination — that  we  all,  even 
if  not  habitual  readers  or  students,  have  for- 
mulated for  ourselves  our  own  little  home-made 
system  of  the  basis  of  human  relations  and  are 
thrilled  to  meet  in  'books,  frank,  open  talk  of 
the  power  of  one  human  mind  over  another  and 
illuminating  explanations  of  our  own  mental 
processes. 

A    Direct    Answer 

The  third  class  of  borrowers  of  books  from 
a  business  library,  as  they  seem  naturally  to 
group  themselves,  is  the  most  interesting  and 
equally  the  most  difficult  group.  It  consists  of 
those  who  come  to  books  for  a  direct  answer 
to  a  direct  question.  They  are  not  users  of 
books  from  habit  nor  do  they  cherish  ambitions 
to  become  so,  but,  having  acquired  a  new  job 
or  seeing  an  opening  for  one  a  little  better  than 
that  they  are  holding,  or  having  stumbled  across 
something  in  their  daily  work  that  they  don't 
understand,  they  turn  to  the  library  for  help. 
A  librarian  trembles  before  their  insistent  de- 
mands, is  depressed  in  spirit  if  she  has  to  send 
them  away  unsatisfied,  but  rejoices  greatly  when 
she  can  place  in  their  hands  just  what  they 
came  in  for,  confident  they  would  find.  Re- 
sentful when  books  fail  to  supply  him  with  just 
the  tool  he  wants,  this  type  of  reader  often 
fails  to  revisit  the  library,  but,  once  let  a  book 
gain  his  confidence  by  having  there  on  the  print- 
ed page  his  very  problem — only  stated  more 
clearly  than  he  can  state  it — and  its  solution, 
back  he  will  come  again  and  again,  the  best 
kind  of  a  library  "booster,"  bringing  in  his 
train  his  friends  and  office  companions.  He  of- 
fers good  material  for  graduation  into  the  class 
of  the  ambitious  type  of  reader  to  whom  books 
represent  a  broad  general  object  rather  than 
just  the  specific  answer  to  an  occasional  ques- 
tion. And  he  may  even,  as  years  and  experi- 
ence increase,  find  himself  reading  because  he 


March  n,  1922

loves  to  read  as  well  as  for  what  he  gets  out 
of  reading  in  the  way  of  practical  (help.  For 
he,  this  man  who  runs  with  his  little  problems 
to  books  to  get  them  solved,  is  more  often  than 
not  a  young  man  .in  the  beginning  of  his  busi- 
ness career,  in  what  is  called  the  more  or  less 
plastic  stage,  who  may, — who  knows? — become 
a  broad  minded  understanding  leader  in  busi- 
ness. Surely  he  stands  a  better  chance  of  doing 
so,  if  he  (has  had  the  good  fortune  to  become 
familiar  with  good  books  on  business  than  if  he 
had  remained  a  stranger  to  their  wealth. 


One  more  question — "Are  men  reading  more 
business  books  than  they  did  formerly"?  Yes, 
in  at  least  one  city  and  in  one  library.  This 
business  branch  library,  some  of  the  experiences 
of  which  have  been  here  recorded,  has  just 
celebrated  its  fourth  anniversary  and  compar- 
ing its  first  month's  record  to  its  last,  there  is 
a  651  per  cent  increase  in  the  number  of  per- 
sons making  use  of  the  library  for  reading 
and  reference  and  a  430  per  cent  increase  in 
the  books  loaned  out  from  its  shelves.  So  it 
can  gnve  an  emphatic  affirmative. 


Publishing  Today 

By  Jonathan  Cape 


AUTHORSHIP  has  fallen  on  evil  days  so 
far  as  material  rewards  are  concerned — • 
at  least  that  is  the  view  which  is  expressed 
very  generally  whenever  the   immediate   pros- 
pects of  book-publishing  are  discussed.    A  few 
fortunate  ones  have  big  incomes,  but  for  the 
rest  there  is  scarcely  the  bones  of  a  living  to 
be  had. 

To  get  published,  to  get  one's  admission  into 
the  circle  of  those  whose  work  is  available  be- 
tween covers,  may  be  difficult,  but  not  as  diffi- 
cult as  in  Borrow's  day,  because  there  are  more 
publishers,  and  while  there  remains  a  publisher 
still  untried  the  spirit  of  hope  is  not  entirely 
extinguished.  Borrow,  who  only  had  a  limited 
field  to  cover  when  he  tried  to  place  his  book, 
found  the  publishers  rude,  unreceptive,  and 
boorish ;  the  only  ones  who  -gave  him  ear  were 
averse  to  his  MS.  and  wanted  something  en- 
tirely different  from  what  he  had  to  offer. 

The  literary  agent,  now  an  established  institu- 
tion, is  usually  willing  to  try  and  place  any- 
thing which  looks  like  a  book.  His  close 
acquaintance  with  the  personnel  of  publishing 
houses,  and  the  quickly-changing  circumstances 
of  the  book  world,  is  at  the  service  of  both  the 
tried  and  untried  author.  Curt  refusals  and 
conventional  expressions  of  interest  but  regret, 
which  alternately  depress  or  encourage  the  au- 
thor, cut  no  ice  with  him,  he  doggedly  circulates 
the  typescript  until  sheer  wear  and  tear  to  the 
paper  of  it  brings  him  to  a  halt. 

The  method  is  very  useful,  particularly  to 
the  obvious  sort  of  mss.  The  piquant  and 
the  scandalous  invariably  find  a  home  with  some 
publisher.  The  sounder  and  less  attractive  do 
not  so  easily  get  careful  consideration. 
But  the  intelligent  agent  knows  his  man 
and  sends  out  less  obvious  typescripts 
to  the  patient  and  individual  publisher  whom  he 
knows  will  look  for  gold  in  the  rough  and  not

of  1922. 


expect  it  to  ,be  already  minted  and  milled.  There 
is  very  little  likelihood  to-day  of  genius  going 
unpublished,  or  of  decent  respectable  talent  re- 
maining unprinted,  but  there  is  every  chance 
that  it  may  be  neglected,  altho  published.  Pub- 
lashing  is  no  longer,  if  it  ever  was,  a  mere  ques- 
tion of  discovery  of  talent.  To-day,  a  publish- 
er's hardest  work  is  selling  his  books.  Produc- 
tion costs  and  overhead  charges  necessitate  a 
larger  sale  for  each  book.  Speculation  on  the 
part  of  the  bookseller  is  almost  non-existent, 
and  the  margin  of  profit,  which  a  few  years 
ago  was  his  only  if  he  plunged  heavily,  is  now 
secured  to  him  with  little  risk.  Unsold  stock 
the  'bookseller  has  still,  but  it  is  more  often  the 
result  af  waiting  for  purchasers,  or  too  dif- 
fusive buying  in  small  numlbers  on  the  chance 
of  a  book  being  called  for,  than  receptivity  to 
the  publishers'  fresh  enterprises. 

The  daily  press,  which  at  one  time  reviewed 
books  seriously  and  critically,  has  almost  ceased 
to  do  so.  Such  notice  as  is  given  tends  to  give 
readers  the  cream  of  the  book,  and  so  save  them 
the  trouble  of  reading  it.  Advertisement  rates 
have  increased  to  such  an  extent  as  to  be  practi- 
cally prohibitive.  Books  are  not  now  reviewed 
by  the  newspapers ;  they  are  paragraphed  or  else 
featured,  and  only  those  which  have  a  "news 
value"  receive  attention.  The  chatty  and  scan- 
dalous are  thereby  given  undue  prominence, 
while  the  more  weighty  and  thoughtful  are 
inflected  altogether. 

This  is  bad  for  the  intellectual  life  of  a  coun- 
try, and  puts  a  premium  on  the  superficial. 
Thought  is  discouraged,  and  in  its  place  there 
comes  gossip  and  chatter  engendered  by  a  con- 
tinuous reel  of  pictorial  impressions. 

The  literary  pages  are  a  feature  still  of  some 
papers.  The  weeklies  attempt  to  deal  justly  by 
the  more  important  'books  as  soon  as  possible 
after  publication,  but  very  little  is  being  done 
to  inculcate  a  real  love  of  books  and  the  desire 
to  possess  them.  After  all,  it  is  due  to  the  au-

The  Publishers'  Wcckl\ 


thor  that  his  (book  should  be  bought,  not  merely 
talked  about  and  read  only  when  it  can  be  bor- 
rowed. We  owe  it  to  the  author,  particularly  if 
he  is  a  friend  of  ours,  to  buy  some  of  his  books. 
Authors  have  not  an  unlimited  supply  of  copies 
of  their  own  books  to  give  to  their  friends,  and 
they  not  infrequently  have  bills  to  pay,  and  food 
and  clothes  to  buy,  like  other  people. 

Why  Men   Are  Publishers 

The  number  of  new  books,  and  the  variety 
of  people  who  write,  would  appear  to  be  evi- 
dence of  a  prosperous  state  of  things  in  the 
fields  of  authorship  and  publishing.  So,  too, 
might  ^e  reckoned  the  number  of  young  pub- 
lishers who,  like  myself,  have  only  a  few 
months  instead  of  many  years  to  their  account 
since  they  were  founded.  This  prosperity  is 
more  apparent  than,  real.  Men  and  women  are 
in  authorship  or  publishing  not  because  of,  the 
chance  of  securing  rich  reward,  but  because  they 
cannot  help  themselves,  they  have  it  in  their 
blood.  They  have  been  drawn  to  it,  and  it  is 
absorbing  all  their  thought  and  attention.  Gen- 
erally, however,  this  attention  is  devoted  to  pro- 
ducing books,  and  the  question  of  selling  them 
is  considered  to  be  the  province  of  the  book- 
seller. The  author  veteran,  or  tyro,  is  always 
on  hand  with  mss.,  which  the  publisher  is  in- 
vited to  read  or  consider.  The  publisher  is  al- 
ways seeking  for  that  book  which  will  do  ham 
credit  as  well  as  put  a  lining  in  his  pocket.  The 
actual  contact  wnth  the  public  is  thru  the  book- 
seller, and  it  is  he  who  has  to  meet  and  answer 
all  the  complaints,  to  give  information  gratis, 
and  to  bear  the  brunt  of  the  public's  dissatis- 
faction with  shoddy  production  and  inferior 
vitlue.  The  number  and  variety  of  books  pub- 
lished tend  to  make  the  bookseller  what  he  is 
to-day — a  book  distributor,  not  a  book  seller. 
To  the  bookseller  a  "good"  book  is  a  book  that 
sells,  or  rather  a  book  that  the  public  comes 
and  asks  for.  Books  go,  or  they  don't  go. 
Why  the  public  ask  for  some  and  not  for 
others  is  vaguely  supposed  to  be  connected  with 
the  book's  quality.  The  truth  is  that  everyone 
who  likes  books  is  a  bookseller.  The  critic 
whose  judgment  is  followed  is  a  book  seller. 
The  publisher,  who  advertises  cleverly,  who 
"puts  a  'book  over"  by  studying  all  the  condi- 
tions favorable  for  publication,  and  works  up 
the  public's  interest  in  his  authors  and  books, 
is  the  real  bookseller.  The  individual  book- 
seller, who  is  the  friend  of  his  customers,  and 
studies  their  tastes  and  provides  -for  it,  and 
stimulates  their  interest  in  books,  is  a  real  book- 
seller, but  conditions  tend  to  make  him  rare. 

A  new  spirit  must  come  into  the  relations  of 
the  three  branches.  Author,  publisher  and  book- 
seller must  get  together.  The  competition  of 
other  interests  and  distractions  has  to  be  met, 
and  it  can  only  be  done  by  all  three  setting 
themselves  to  sell  more  books  and  working  to- 


gether for  the  common  end.  If  authorship  is 
to  enjoy  the  fruits  of  its  labor,  a  campaign  to 
work  up  an  interest  in1  books  must  be  put  thru 
Too  few  books  are  sold.  The  indifferent  gen- 
eral public  must  be  worked  upon,  and  books 
must  be  presented  as  desirable  and  important 
possessions  to  be  bought  at  any  time  or  season. 
Advertising  and  publicity  will  change  the  life 
and  habit  of  a  natrion,  and  a  new  policy  of 
concerted  publicity  would  be  justified  by  the 
eventual  return. 

The  real  awards  of  authorship  are  not  mate- 
rial ones,  but  the  wherewithal  to  live  must  be 
secured.  Motor  cars  and  other  flesh  pots  are 
for  the  -signal  few  who  are  lucky  enough  to 
be  unusually  successful.  Popular  success  is  its 
own  reward,  and  those  who  obtain  it  usually  find 
that  most  other  things  worth  having  have  been 
crowded  out  by  it.  What  authorship  does  need 
is  a  sense  of  security  so  that  there  is  freedom 
to  give  out  the  ideas  which  call  for  expression. 
The  author  wants  to  render  life  as  he  sees  it, 
and  to  have  a  reasonable  chance  of  a  critical 
hearing  from  the  intellectual  few,  and  a  certain 
measure  of  attention  from  the  majority  of  his 
fellows.  Authorship  wants  to  be  rescued  from 
the  position  of  paid  entertainer  dependent  upon 
chance  pennies  thrown  into  a  hat.  The  manu- 
facture of  artificial  situations  based  on  falsity 
of  sentiment  because  of  a  supposed  demand  for 
only  such  wares,  is  scarcely  a  dignified  or  im- 
portant occupation. 

What  Publicity  Can  Do 

The  bookstalls  are  crowded  with  books,  their 
dust-covers  decorated  with  impossibly  beauteous 
maidens,  and  with  square-jawed  men  in  furry 
trousers,  spurs  and  sombreros. 

The  pub'lic  does  not  seem  anxious  to  buy,  and 
as  nothing  else  is  available  it  passes  by  after  a 
steady  stare  which  begins  with  interest  and 
ends  in  indifference. 

As  its  taste  is  interpreted  by  the  corporations 
who  have  a  virtual  monopoly,  and  who  claim  to 
know  and  only  provide  just  what  the  public 
wants,  these  are  the  books  and  journals  the  pub- 
lic require.  The  public  does  not  want  them, 
so  buys  chocolates,  goes  to  the  cinema,  or  looks 
at  a  "snippets"  journal. 

Publicity  can  change  the  habits  of  a  people. 
Suggestion  will  make  people  cheer  or  hiss  at 
the  wrill  of  those  who  control  the  medium.  A 
concerted  movement  could  be  set  in  motion  which 
•would  make  'books  a  real  source  of  interest  to  the 
mass  of  the  population,  and  the  buying  and 
possessing  of  them  a  common  habit  as  natural 
as  spending  several  shillings  on  a  seat  at  the 
cinema  or  the  music  hall.  Let  authors,  book- 
sellers and  publishers  get  together.  The  ma- 
chinery is  already  in  existence  with  the  respect- 
ive associations,  Authors'  Society,  Publishers' 
Association,  and  the  Booksellers  Association 
A  joint  committee  in  permanent  session  work-

ing  whole-heartedly  together,  could  devise 
means  to  (increase  materially  the  sale  of  books. 

The  sale  of  books  in  this  country  does  not 
compare  favorably  with  other  countries.  Amer- 
ica is  ahead  of  us,  not  only  in  the  number  of 
books  bought,  but  in  the  variety  of  books  pro- 
duced. There  is  better  team  work  over  there. 
They  "get  together."  Intensive  labor  by  authors, 
journalists,  publishers,  and  booksellers  has  re- 
sulted in  books  having  a  place  in  the  life  of 
the  people  of  the  United  States  which  will  tell 
increasingly  as  time  goes  on. 

It  is  for  us  to  be  up  and  doing.  Books  should 
be  bought  not  borrowed.  If  sales  could  be  in- 
creased prices  would  go  down.  Putting  prices 
down  will  not  increase  sales  materially.  We 
want  better  produced  books.  Slipshod  printing 
and  shoddy  production  have  been  accepted  as 
inevitable,  as  a  legacy  of  the  war.  There  is  no 
longer  any  excuse  for  it.  Careful  printing, 
good  paper,  and  tasteful  binding  should  be  in- 
sisted upon.  They  are  still  obtainable. 

College  Men's  Reading 

HAROLD  Spender's  lament  in  the  Fort- 
nightly Review  that  "Oxford's  educa- 
tional habits  are  still  curiously  tempered 
by  a  neglect  of  the  habit  of  reading  the  printed 
word"  has  drawn  forth  the  comment  in  the 
Harvard  Alumni  Bulletin. 

"May  not  the  same  criticism  be  applied  to 
Harvard?  The  undergraduates  who  read  widely 
and  well  are  few  in  number.  A  certain  amount 
of  reading  is  necessary  in  order  to  pass  any 
course,  yet  this  amount  is  often  surprisingly 
small.  The  student  who  takes  copious  notes 
of  an  instructor's  lectures  may  sometimes  dis- 
pense with  supplementary  reading  entirely. 

"Evidence  afforded  in  courses  in  English 
composition  indicates  that  many  undergraduates 
do  not  open  books  at  all,  other  than  those  that 
constitute  "required  reading."  Nearly  all  of 
them  read  the  Saturday  Evening  Post;  most 
of  them  read  some  newspaper.  Comparatively 
few  avail  themselves  to  any  notable  degree  of 
the  facilities  offered  by  the  largest  college 
library  in  the  world.  Comparatively  few  read 
books  that  furnish  more  than  passing  enter- 
tainment. 

"The  requirements  of  the  general  examination 
for  those  who  concentrate  in  languages  will 
remedy  to  some  extent  the  deficiency.  But  for 
those  who  do  not  specialize  in  languages  there 
is  no  compulsion  and  no  incentive  to  read. 
Time  given  to  books  does  not  seem  to  many 
a  youth  likely  to  advance  his  purpose.  The 
athletics,  the  clubs,  the  competitions  supply 
for  him  the  main  values  of  a  college  education. 
His  classics — we  do  not  mean  to  be  disparaging 
of  them — are  O.  Henry,  Kipling,  and  Stevenson. 

"How  shall  the  young  man  be  made  to  read? 


It  seems  to  us  one  of  the  important  educational 
problems.  We  are  disposed  to  echo  Mr. 
Spender's  words :  'Do  not  let  us  moderns  cul- 
tivate too  much  intellectual  pride;  for  however 
much  we  may  have  multiplied  our  studies,  can 
we  say  that  we  study  with  the  depth  or  earnest- 
ness of  our  ancestors  ' ' 

The  Bookplate  Annual  for  1922 

IN  the  "Bookplate  Annual"  for  1922,  edited 
by  Alfred  Fowler,  Gardner  Teall  writes 
on  the  chiaroscuro  bookplates  of  Allen  Lewis ; 
and  Alexander  J.  Finberg  has  written  an  inter- 
esting paper  on  the  Sturge  Moore  bookplates 
illustrated  by  eight  of  the  artist's  best  designs^ 
Bookplate  collectors  will  be  interested  in  the 
Bookplate  Exchange  List  which  includes  the 
names  and  addresses  of  more  than  sixty  col- 
lectors of  bookplates,  with  notes  concerning 
their  specialties  and  what  they  have  to  offer 
in  exchange.  A  complete  catalog  of  the 
Seventh  Annual  Exhibition  of  Contemporary 
Bookplates  is  presented,  illustrated  by  the  de- 
signs winning  certificates  of  award.  The 
awards  of  the  jury  are  set  forth  in  detail.  The 
catalog  forms  a  valuale  record  of  practically 
every  bookplate  designed  during  the  last  year. 
The  book  is  large  quarto  in  size,  printed  on 
Old  Stratford  paper.  The  edition  is  strictly 
limited  to  five  hundred  copies. 

The  Authors'  League  Fund 

THE  Authors'  League  has  had  since  1917 
a  fund  for  the  assistance  of  needy  and  in- 
capacitated authors,  artists  and  dramatists. 
Until  very  recently  almost  all  the  contribu- 
tions have  come  from  within  the  profession 
but  this  year  has  'brought  an  unusual  number 
of  calls  for  help  and  it  has  become  necessary 
to  raise  more  money  to  enable  the  fund  to 
continue  its  work.  A  series  of  lectures  has 
•been  started  for  the  benefit  of  the  fund.  The 
first  of  the  series  was  given  at  the  Hotel  Plaza 
by  Winston  Churchill,  the  American  novelist,  on 
"The  Nature  of  the  Creative  Mind."  Joseph 
Rennell,  the  artist,  will  lecture  later  in  the 
month. 

Charles    Scribner   and   Frederick    A.    Stokes 
are  on  the  Authors'  League  Fund  Committee. 

Sucessful  Slogans 

IN  the  John  Wanamaker,  New  York,  Book

"Buy  A  Book  A  Week"  have  been  invented, 
reproduced  and  successfully  displayed.     Two

Successful  Bookshop  Publicity 

A  Survey  of  One  Effective  Method  of  Retail  Advertising 


[EDITORIAL  NoxE.r— -More  than  25  years  ago 
or  to  be  exact,  bearing  date  of  September  I, 
1896,  the  first  issue  of  Books  of  the  Month 
appeared  under  the  title  of  A  List  of  New 
Books.  It  ibeeame  in  later  years  The  Latest 
Books  and  yet  later  adopted  the  title  of  Books 
of  the  Month.  Jt  appeared  first  as  a  single 
sheet  'broadside  then  as  a  pamphlet  of  the 
size  and  shape  in  which  it  appears  today  and 
which  has  proved  to  be  most  effective.  In 
these  25  years  there  have  been  many  editorial 
changes  that  have  made  the  publication  more 
efficient  for  its  purpose  and  one  change  of 
ownership  when  in  January,  1920,  it  came 
into  the  group  of  booktrade  periodicals  pub- 
lished by  the  R.  R.  Bowker  Company. 

The  fundamental  purpose  of  Books  of  the

make  available  to  the  retail  bookstore  the 
most  efficient  and  effective  form  of  publicity

has  it  lost  its  leadership  among  imprinted

QUESTIOXXATKF,  RECENTLY  SUBMITTED  TO  BOOKSELLERS   BY   Books   of    the   Month. 


March  n,  1922 


693 


TIE  questionnaire  as  reproduced,  in  minia- 
ture on  the  .preceding  page  was  recently 
submitted  to  booksellers  in  every  section 
of  the  United  States.  They  represent  the 
large  store  and  the  small,  the  bookshop  and 
the  book  department.  These  dealers  spend  in 
the  aggregate  in  excess  of  $21,000  annually 
to  secure  simply  the  limprinted  copies  of  this 
one  'booklist.  In  addition  they  must  make 
an  outlay  for  special  envelopes,  for  postage 
and  allow  ifor  mailing  time  and  individual  at- 
tention, so  that  the  total  amount  of  money 
spent  in  this  single  form  of  advertising  is  at 
once  a  guaranty  of  its  seriousness  and  a  surety 
of  its  effectiveness,  since  it  has  been  so  long 
maintained. 

About  73  dealers  reported  in  all  or  in  part 
as  to  details  of  this  questionnaire,  and  a  sum- 
mary of  their  answers  is  here  recorded : 

Methods  of  Distribution 

Three  methods  of  distribution  are  employed 
(often  in  the  same  store),  but  it  is  worth  not- 
ing that  the  largest  number  of  dealers  (54) 
distribute  their  lists  separately.  Separate  mail- 
ing requires  a  special  mailing  list  and  is  the 
safest  and  surest  method  of  getting  book  in- 
formation to  every  person  who  is  buying  or 
who  may  buy  from  the  bookshop.  Often  the 
best  book  buyers  are  missed  by  any  other 
method.  The  next  most  used  method  of  dis- 
tribution (51  dealers  report),  is  inside  the  store, 
where  copies  are  so  placed  as  to  be  picked 
up  by  customers,  and  clerks  are  urged  to  hand 
out  copies  or  include  them  in  packages.  A 
smaller,  tho  considerable  number  (38)  distribute 
this  envelope-fitting  booklist  as  an  enclos- 
ure with  letters,  bills  and  statements  sent  out 
to  charge  accounts.  This  method  makes  use 
of  regular  postage  as  a  carrier  without  extra 
cost  and  makes  (postage  expense  an  asset. 
It  ris  the  least  expensive  method,  tho  good 
customers  or  prospects  may  be  overlooked  for 
an  extended  period — and  cash  customers, 
entirely.

Since  the  predominant  method  of  distribu- 
tion is  to  a  separate  mailing  list,  it  is  im- 
iportant  to  note  sources  of  lists.  That  named 
by  practically  all  reports  answering  this  ques- 
tion is  the  most  natural  one — customers.  For- 
ty-five dealers  indicate  that  they  started  their 
lists  from  this  source.  "Get  the  names  of 
your  customers"  has  been  an  important  slogan 
in  sales  methods  and  it  is  here  indicated  as 
the  chief  method  by  which  successful  book- 
stores secure  and  'build  tip  mailing  lists.  Other 
sources  of  mailing  lists  indicate  especially 
the  local  telephone  books  (9  dealers  indicate 
this)  city  directories  (5  dealers),  local  club 
lists  church  memberships  and  other  special 


lists,  as  well  as  names  secured  by  careful  scru- 
tiny of  society  and  news  columns  of  local 
papers. 

Sources   of   New    Names 

These  drop  quite  naturally  into  the  same 
groups  as  sources  of  original  mailing  lists.  Re- 
ports show  that  the  same  methods  are  em- 
ployed for  securing  new  names  as  for  orig- 
inal lists.  New  customers  and  new  accounts 
are  the  chief  sources  of  new  names  for  mail- 
ing lists.  Names  are  also  secured  by  solici- 
tation of  local  lists  of  clubs,  societies  and  indi- 
viduals. Many  dealers  send  special  cards  of 
inquiry  to  prospects  asking  if  they  wish  to 
have  catalogs  of  books  sent, them.  Those  speci- 
fying that  they  do  are  added  to  the  List. 

Eliminating  Names 

It  iis  quite  apparent  that  the  chief  reason 
for  the  elimination  of  names  should  be  lack 
of  response  on  the  part  of  persons  addressed 
and  this  is  the  basis  on  which  lists  are  trimmed, 
but  the  length  of  time  allowed  the  customer 
or  prospect  to  secure  advertising  literature 
before  resiponding  to  it  varies  from  as  much 
as  three  years  to  as  short  a  time  as  thirty  days. 
Thirty-four  dealers  report  that  they  "work" 
their  mailing  lists  by  their  ledger  accounts. 

Other  methods  of  "pruning"  and  controlling 
the  list  are: 

1.  The   elimination    of    such    names   as    the 
Post    Office    returns    wath    indication    of 
change  of  address,  removal  or  with  other 
reasons    for   non-delivery. 

2.  Many    dealers    make    special    solicitation 
of   their   whole    list    from   time   to   time 
and  usually  supply  advertising  literature 
to  those  who  request'  that  this  book  in- 
formation   service  'be   continued. 

3.  Local  newspaper  notices  such  as  removal 
from  locality  or  death,  are  watched  and 
the  list  is  made  to  conform  with  facts. 

Is   the    List    Classified? 

Most  of  the  dealers  do  not  class/ify  the 
lists,  but  nineteen  reports  indicate  that  lists 
are  classified.  These  fall  generally  into  the 
classification  of  types  of  literature  (fiction, 
biography,  history,  etc.)  Names  are  filed  as 
they  are  interested  in  specific  types.  Other 
methods  of  classification  are  alphabetical  by 
post  offices  foy  types  of  individuals,  (heads 
of  families,  children,  teachers,  etc.)  and  by 
regular  or  occasional  buyers.  Thirty-five 
dealers  report  that  they  do  not  classify  their 
lists. 

Record    of   Sales 

So  many  dealers  indicate  that  the  basis  of 
elimination  of  names  gravitates  albout  the  ques- 
tion of  responses,  that  it  is  surprising  to 
note  that  so  few  (20)  keep  special  sales  records 


694 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


of  returns  /from  direct  advertising.  Forty- 
one  say  they  do  not  keep  special  sales  rec- 
ords. Those  who  do  keep  sales  records  gen- 
erally say  that  they  are  kept  on  special  cards, 
or  on  the  mailing  list  cards  so  that  every  sale 
that  can  be  traced  to  advertising-by-mail  is 
credited  exactly.  Others  keep  a  special  sales 
'book  or  special  sales  slips,  segregated,  for  all 
mail  orders  secured  by  direct  advertising.  It 
should  be  noted  that  it  is  impossible  to  check 
up  and  record  all  sales  due  to  this  advertising 
for  many  sales  are  made  in  such  manner  as 
to  make  record  of  source  of  sale  out  of  the 
question.  Enough  direct  returns  are  indicated, 
however,  to  justiify  great  faith  in  the  adver- 
tising method. 

Marked    Copies 

Very  few  dealers  indicate  that  they  go  to 
the  trouble  of  marking  copiies  of  the  booklist, 
tho  a  number  (15)  do  so  and  are  enthusiastic 
about  this  approach  toward  personal  appeal. 
Many  of  those  reporting  that  they  do  not 
mark  copies  express  the  belief  that  it  would 
be  profitable. 

Special  Letters 

The  majority  of  the  dealers  (35)  indicate 
that  they  do  send  special  letters,  either  with 
the  booklet  or  separately,  to  their  customers 
and  prospects,  tho  the  division  of  those  send- 
ing letters  and  those  who  do  not  is  not  very 
marked  The  use  of  the  special  letter  deserves 
extended  consideration  on  the  part  of  book- 
sellers. 

Return    Order    Forms 

A  very  great  majority  of  the  dealers  use 
the  return  order  form  (46  use  them,  13  do 
not).  Order-forms  are  easily  procurable  and 
may  be  secured  without  expense.  Those  most 
used  (40  dealers)  are  postcards  with  dealer 
imprint  supplied  by  publishers.  Many  dealers 
(28  indicated)  prefer  their  own  or  use  forms 
specially  prepared  for  them.  Return  order 
forms  make  it  easier  for  the  customer  to  buy. 
Everything  that  can  be  done  to  overcome  cus- 
tomers' inertia  must  be  done. 

Method    of    Handling 

There  is  no  special  method  of  handling  in- 
dicated from  the  returns,  for  the  reports  in- 
dicate many  methods.  In  some  cases,  special 
individuals  have  charge  of  mailing  lists.  In 
other  cases,  a  central  desk  looks  after  distri- 
bution, usually  the  wrapping  counter.  In  store 
distribution,  circulation  is  effected  by  sales 
people  in  all  departments  of  the  store. 

Other   Literature  With  Booklets 

Many  of  the  dealers  believe  that  it  detracts 
from  the  effectiveness  of  the  booklet  itself 
and  its  sales  appeal  to  enclose  other  literature 


with  it.  A  great  majority  of  the  dealers,  how. 
ever,  do  enclose  other  literature  sometimes 
their  own  special  lists,  sometimes  especially 
attractive  material  about  certain  good  selling 
books  or  those  they  particularly  wish  to  em- 
iphasize.  With  the  booklet  also  often  goes 
a  special  or  general  letter  from  the  bookseller. 
Most  Important  Retail  Selling  Method 

The  poll  of  retaiilers  asked  for  judgment 
as  to  relative  importance  in  bookstore  pub- 
licity, of  newspaper  advertising  and  direct-by- 
mail  advertising  indicates  by  great  odds  that 
direct-by-mail  advertising  is  the  more  effective. 
Twenty-four  vote  in  favor  of  the  distribution 
of  the  lists  seven  vote  in  favor  of  newspaper 
advertising  and  six  declare  that  the  value  is 
equal.  Some  of  the  voters  indicate  that  the 
two  methods  go  hand  in  hand  or  that  news- 
paper advertising  is  especially  effective  in  keep- 
ing the  store  name  before  the  community  or 
in  making  special  announcements.  For  direct 
order  getting,  the  distribution  of  the  list  is 
the  more  effective. 

Direct  by   Mail   Advertising 

This  request  was  made  to  dealers  in  order 
to  bring  out  either  successful  ideas  now  in 
use  or  to  secure  theoretically  useful  plans 
which  dealers  might  adopt  in  going  after  in- 
creased book  sales.  Many  dealers  have  indi- 
cated their  use  of  and  their  faith  in  the  per- 
sonal letter  and  personal  solicitation  by  letter. 
These  !etfets  are  often  albout  a  special  book 
or  books,  or  they  relate  to  the  special  inter- 
est of  the  individual.  In  either  case,  good  sell- 
ing requires  knowledge  of  the  book  and  the 
prospect.  Postcards  may  well  take  the  place 
of  letters  for  variety  and  attention,  and  some 
dealers  stress  their  value  especially  if  well 
prepared. 

Another  suggestion  for  increased  efficiency 
in  direct-advertising  is  the  use  of  a  special 
trade  sign  or  insignia  which  is  pasted  on  pack- 
ages and  inside  cover  of  books  on  envelopes 
or  on  other  available  space  so  that  attention 
may  be  gained  without  defacing  customers' 
purchases.  The  value  of  regularity  in  ad- 
vertising by  mail  and  of  promptness  in  supply- 
ing book  information  is  suggested.  Good  serv- 
ice after  advertising  is  stressed.  Special 
advertising  "stunts"  that  gain  the  attention,  such 
as  announcements  of  store  lectures  with  free 
tickets  to  them,  as  well  as  many  other  attractive 
and  diverting  pieces  of  printing  arouse  inter- 
est and  secure  a  hearing. 

The  sending  of  complimentary  copies  of 
books  to  special  public  figures  such  as  minis- 
ters who  will  review  and  talk  or  write  about 
them  locally,  is  indicated  as  a  means  of  impor- 
tant direct  advertising.  One  dealer  mails  pub- 
lishers' announcements  to  individuals  with 
pencil  notes  on  the  margin  and  reports  consid- 
erable returns.

Successful  Advertising — A  Summary 

Booksellers  will  note  that  a  successful  eco- 
nomical method  of  advertising  has  here  been 
indicated.  Any  dealer  may  start  and  build  up 
a  mailing  list  by  simply  making  an  alpha- 
betical list  of  customers  whose  names  may 
be  secured  in  his  own  bookkeeping  depart- 
ment. He  may  add  to  that  list  by  checking 
up  local  directories  and  lists  of  various  kinds. 
He  may  trim  and  correct  the  list  by  watching 
sales  and  by  occasional  solicitation  among  all 
the  prospects — adhering  especially  to  those 
who  wish  to  be  supplied  with  book  informa- 
tion. He  may,  if  he  wishes,  classify  his  lists 
so  that  individual  interests  may  be  better 
known,  and  may  be  appealed  to.  If  he  wishes 
to  check  up  returns  directly,  he  may  credit 
sales  right  on  the  list  card  itself  or  keep  a 
special  record  book  of  sales  made  by  special 
order.  He  may  find  it  profitable  to  appeal  to 
the  special  interests  of  book  readers  by  send- 
ing marked  copies  or  other  special  literature 
from  time  to  time  or  regularly.  He  may  over- 
come the  inertia  of  prospects  by  enclosing 
return  order  form  with  booklets.  He  will  find 
that  advertising  in  local  papers  gets  his  store 
publicity,  is  valuable  for  special  announce- 
ments, and  gets  new  names  for  his  mailing 
list.  This  method  of  advertising  by  the  dis- 
tribution of  timely,  informative  lists  of  books 
sent  regularly  and  promptly  to  customers  and 
prospects  affords  a  comparatively  easy,  effective, 
economical  method  of  advertising  that  has 
been  adopted  by  successful  booksellers  gen- 
erally. 

Last  Word  of  Oxford  Dictionary 

THE  very  last  word  has  been  typed  for  the 
Oxford  Dictionary  which  has  been  up- 
wards of  40  years  in  the  making.  That  word 
is  "zyxt."  a  fourteenth  century  Kentish  dialect 
equivalent  of  the  modern  "thou  seest." 

Tthe  dictionary  carries  a  mountainous  record, 
far  further  than  existing  standard  books,  which 
end  on,  say  "xyxomma"  or  ''zythum"  (an 
ancient  beverage),  but  gaps  remain  to  be  filled. 
The  Oxford  University  Press  expects  that  the 
concluding  volume  of  the  dictionary,  the  tenth, 
will  be  published  about  1923.  After  all,  that 
will  not  be  the  final  word,  for  a  supplement  is 
inevitable. 

In  addition  to  the  organized  collection  of 
words  unregistered  in  existing  dictionaries,  for 
which  a  committee  was  appointed  by  the  Philo- 
logical Society,  big  lists  have  come  from  many 
sources,  far  and  near.  The  totals  have  varied 
from  looo  to  10,000.  Not  only  have  there  been 
researches  relative  to  obscure  words,  dating 
from  dim  centuries,  but  newcomers  have  to  be 
reckoned  with,  the  imported  colloquialism,  or 


the  fragment  of  slang  which  may  have  been 
definitely  absorbed  into  our  language  only  the 
other  day.

Books  at  the  Travel  Show 

THE  Travel  Show  to  be  held  at  the  Grand 
Central  Palace,  New  York,  has  set  aside  an 
exhibit  space,  29  feet  by  22  feet  in  the  cen- 
ter of  the  main  floor  of  the  Palace  as  a 
Travel  Book  Headquarters.  The  space  will 
have  a  22  foot  frontage  on  each  of  two  main 
aisles,  and  will  have  a  living  room  table,  rug, 
reading  lamp,  several  easy  chairs  and  a  row 
of  books  enclosed  by  bookends. 

Along  both  walls  of  this  cozy  living  room 
or  library  will  be  placed  tables  approximately 
five  feet  wide  and  three  feet  deep  to  be  al- 
lotted to  the  various  publishers.  The  wall 
space  above  each  table — to  a  height  of  ten 
feet — will  be  available  for  the  publishers'  pos- 
ters or  cutouts,  etc.  A  small  uniform  sign 
will  be  furnished  each  exhibitor. 

This  section  will  be  organized  by  Edward 
Frank  Allen,  formerly  Editor  of  Travel.  He 
will  deal  impartially  in  the  arrangements  at- 
tending the  display,  publicity  and  sale  of  books 
at  the  booth.  Books  may  be  consigned  to  Mr. 
Allen,  at  the  usual  trade  discounts  for  sale 
during  the  show  if  exhibitors  desire.  The 
Travel  Show  management  assumes  responsi- 
bility for  the  settlement  of  accounts  of  books 
sold  at  the  booth.  Mr.  Allen  will  be  assisted 
by  competent  book  clerks  during  the  week. 

Exhibitors  will  have  the  privilege  of  putting 
their  own  men  in  charge  of  their  own  particu- 
lar exhibit,  but  it  will  not  be  necessary  for 
them  to  do  so.  Only  exhibitors'  books  will 
be  sold  at  the  booth. 

The  Travel  Book  Headquarters  will  be  made 
the  center  for  interesting  events,  all  of  which 
will  be  featured  in  the  daily  newspaper  pub- 
licity of  The  Travel  Show :  visits  to  the 
Headquarters,  upon  various  set  occasions,  of 
the  authors  of  travel  books  and  reception  to 
authors  of  travel  books  and  travel  lectures: 
Public  balloting  on  the  best  ten  travel  books 
ever  written  to  be  called  The  Wanderlust 
Shelf.  This  contest  has  already  received  much 
publicity. 

The  balloting  for  the  best  10  travel  books 
will  be  on  printed  lists  of  25  titles  determined 
in  advance  by  nominations  now  being  sent  to 
the  Travel  Book  Contest,  Grand  Central  Pal- 
ace, Neiv  York.  Booksellers,  librarians,  and 
general  readers  are  being  urged  to  send  in 
their  suggestions  promptly.  Ten  titles  may  be 
sent  in  by  each  voter.  According  to  the  num- 
ber of  times  a  title  is  mentioned  is  determined 
whether  it  is  placed  on  the  ballot  used  at  the  ex- 
position. 


The  Publishers'  Weekly^ 


English  Book-Trade  News 

From  our  London  Correspondent 


THE  iioth  Anniversary  of  the  birth  of 
'Charles  Dickens  was  celebrated  by  an  en- 
thusiastic gathering  at  dinner  recently,  at 
which  G.  K.  Chesterton  occupied  the  chair. 
Those  present  represented  most  of  the  arts  and 
professions,  and  included  not  a  few  English  and 
American  authors  and  publishers.  G.  K.  C.  was 
brilliant:  epigrammatic,  witty,  mirthful.  He  said 
"the  genius  of  England  and  the  genius  of 
Dickens  are  very  nearly  akin."  London,  he  said, 
lacked  a  statue  of  Dickens,  and  statues  of  his 
characters  should  be  put  up.  He  seemed  thoroly 
to  enjoy  his  own  enjoyment. 

An  English  book-trade  journal  recently  in- 
vited opinions  from  authors,  publishers  and 
booksellers  as  to  the  justification  or  otherwise 
for  existing  ibook  prices.  Charges  of  profiteer- 
ing are  freely  brought,  and  some  there  are  who 
blame  high  published  prices  for  the  troubles  of 
the  time.  Messrs.  Constable  said  in  answering 
the  query : 

"As  with  so  many  of  the  catch  words  brought 
into  fashion  by  the  war  years,  the  phrase  prof- 
iteering is  one  upon  which  we  put  very  differ- 
ent interpretations. 

"In  our  opinion  the  period  of  high  book 
prices,  which  began  about  the  middle  of  the 
war  and  which  will  not  lightly  be  ended,  has 
left  fairly  constant  the.  profits  of  the  trade  as 
a  whole  but  has  considerably  affected  their  dis- 
tribution. It  is  not  in  a  spirit  of  complaining 
that  we  say  that  the  publisher's  margin  of  profit 
has  suffered  more  severely  than  that  of  printer, 
author  or  bookseller.  Maybe  in  the  old  days 
the  publisher  was  disproportionately  rewarded; 
if  so,  the  injustice  has  been  righted  and  with 
a  vengeance.  If  one  analyzes  the  cost  of  a 
seven  and  sixpenny  novel  to-day,  dividing  the 
published  price  into  net  cost  of  paper,  cost  of 
printing,  cost  of  binding,  author's  royalty,  book- 
seller's discount  and  publisher's  profit,  the  last 
of  these  items  will  also  be  found  the  least.  We 
have  few  illusions  as  to  the  perfection  of  those 
days  of  cheap  manufacturing  costs.  We  are 
not  of  those  who  think  that  wages  should  re- 
vert to  pre-war  level.  We  would  point  out  to 
those  who  talk  of  pre-war  prices  of  books,  that 
there  are  elements,  in  book  manufacture  the 
costs  of  which  are  beyond  the  control  of  the 
book  trade.  Unless  these  elements  (and  the 
wages  of  labor  are  now  the  most  important) 
are  to  be  forced  back  to  their  former  figure, 
retail  book  prices  must  and  should  show  pro- 
portionate increase.  For  our  part  we  hope  such 
relapse  will  never  take  place;  both  in  the  inter- 
ests of  the  lower  paid  members  of  the  book- 
trade  and  for  the  more  proper  recognition  of 


the  dignity  and  importance  of  books  themselves. 

R.  B.  Marston,  who  has  directed  the  fortunes 
of  our  contemporary,  the  Publishers'  Circular, 
for  so  many  years,  supports  the  excellent  sug- 
gestion that  the  proposal  recently  printed  in 
the  Times  Literary  Supplement  should  be 
adopted  and  put  in  train.  Here  is  a  portion  of 
Mr.  Marston's  letter :  "The  ideal  thdng  would 
be  a  permanent  collective  exhibition  such  as  the 
German  publishers  have  in  their  great  Book 
House  at  Leipzig.  Expense  is  the  difficulty — 
we  are  not  likely  to  get  State  aid  as  in  Germany. 
How  much  importance  is  attached  to  these  ex- 
hibitions on  the  Continent,  especially  in  Ger- 
many, is  shown  by  the  following: — In  addition 
to  the  permanent  Book  House  at  Leipzig  there 
is  the  famous  Leipzig  Annual  Book  Fair.  Soon 
after  the  war  the  German  publishers  established 
a  society  for  the  extension  of  the  German  book 
abroad,  which  held  a  most  successful  book  ex- 
hibition at  Frankfort  last  year;  the  same 
society  has  organized  the  exhibition  of  German 
books  now  being  held  at  The  Hague.  In  Paris 
there  has  just  closed  a  most  successful  ex- 
hibition of  hooks  for  Christmas  and  New  Year. 
The  French  publishers  have  also  arranged  for 
an  exhibition  of  French  books  at  Stockholm 
from  March  17  to  27:  the  French  are  making 
great  efforts  to  extend  the  market  for  their 
books  abroad,  and  have  established  a  permanent 
Maison  du  Lavre,  or  book  hou^e,  on  the  German 
lines.  In  Austria  the  second  spring  Fair  will 
•be  held  from  March  19  to  25  at  Vienna,  with 
special  exhibits  of  books,  school  furniture,  &c. ; 
there  will  also  be  a  fair  at  Prague  from  March 
12  to  19.  In  the  United  States  great  efforts 
to  increase  the  sale  of  books  are  being  made 
by  the  publishers." 

War  books  in  France  are  just  as  unwanted  as 
they  are  in  England  and  America.  It  is  only 
occasionally  .in  England  that  a  novel  like  the 
"Way  of  Revelation"  gets  a  hearing,  and  then 
it  is  thru  sheer  merit.  This  first  novel  by  Mr. 
Wilfrid  Evart  has  already,  in  three  months. 
run  into  10,000.  Yet  there  is  always  room  for 
the  real,  earnest,  genuine  war  book — the  work 
that  has  something  to  tell  us,  which  comes  out 
of  the  heart  blood,  so  to  speak,  of  the  author. 
That  is  why  "Way  of  Revelation"  has  suc- 
ceeded where  so  many  others  have  failed.  There 
is  another  instance— a.  French  novel,  and  a 
poignant  one,  too,  "Wooden  Crosses"  by  Roland 
Dorgeles.  It  has  run  into  130,000  in  France. 
Dorgeles  has  written  another  very  vivid  and 
powerful  novel — not  about  the  war — entitled 
''Saint  Magliore."

Buying  Books 

IN  his  booklet  "On  Buying  and  Using  Print ; 
Practical  Suggestions  from  a  Librarian  to  the 
Business  Man,'*  John  Cotton  Dana  comments 
on  the  buying  of  books — '"Returning  to  the 
bad  habit  of  buying  books  unwisely,"  he  says, 
"in  which  so  many  business  men  indulge.  It 
shows  itself  chiefly,  as  yet,  in  homes.  Here 
you  will  find — if  you  find  books  at  all — 
shiny  1xx>kcases  with  glass  doors  tightly  shut, 
full  of  useless  truck,  often  bought  from  agents 
at  exorbitant  prices.  The  book-man  sees  these, 
perhaps  is  asked  to  admire  them,  and  weeps 
to  think  that  a  shrewd  man,  successful  in  his 
particular  game  of  life,  can  be  so  dull  as  to 
spend  his  money  on  books  in  contented  ignor- 
ance and  to  take  pride  in  his  purchases ! 

"After   a  tirade  like  that   a   little  advice  is 
due,  and  here  it  is : 

1.  Buy  the  books  you  need. 

2.  Find  out  what  you  need  from  an  expert. 
Books     contain     information.       Every     man 

needs  information.  If  he  thinks  he  does  not, 
that's  a  sure  sign  he  does.  Tell  an  expert  on 
the  subject  of  'what  there  is  on  print,'  or 
permit  him  to  learn  what  your  business  is ; 
then  he  will  name  to  you  books  that  will  give 
you  information  which  you  have  not,  and  tell 
you  how  you  can  get  it  out  of  them. 

3.  Buy  books  of  a  book  dealer,  the  best  you 
can  find.     You  need  not  go  to  his  store  your- 
self; send  him  a  letter.     If  you  have  a  large 
order   and   are   not   sure  you   know   a   reliable 
dealer,  ask  the  librarian  of  your  public  library 
to  name  one.     If  your  piJbliic  library  is  quite 
small,  or  if,  whether  small  or  large,  it  is  run 
by  its  trustees  and  not  by  its   librarian,   then 
write  to  your  state  library  commission  at  your 
state  capital.     Nearly  every  state  has    such  a 
commlission,   and   its   business   is   to   advise  all 
applicants    for    information    on    books,    book- 
buying    and    book-using.      These    commission- 
ers employ  skilled  people  to  give  this  advice."

Stationers'  Association  met  in  Decatur,  111., 
February  19  to  make  plans  for  the  Annual  Con- 
vention to  be  held  May  2  and  3.  The  local  deal-

ful program  is  being  arranged.  Ample  time

A  Grand  Rapids  Bookshop 

EVERY  year  in  The  Travelers'  Number  the 
PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY  prints  a  list  of  the 
towns  where  bookshops  are  needed,  based  on 
a  ballot  on  that  question  made  by  the  travelers. 
Every  year  there  is  some  come-back  from  the 
cities  mentioned.  Last  week  a  very  pleasant 
letter  came  from  Grand  Rapids,  Mich,  which 
began :  "You  will,  no  doubt,  be  interested  to 
know  that  on  March  4,  Grand  Rapids  will  lead 
the  way  as  one  of  the  delinquent  towns  in 
opening  a  first  class  book  shop."  The  Shaw 
Bookshop  is  the  new  Grand  Rapids  Bookstore, 
at  the  corner  of  Monroe  Ave.  and  Commerce  St. 
which  will  supply  the  community  with  good  lit- 
erature. Mr.  Shaw,  the  proprietor,  is  an  enter- 
prising young  man  who  has  been  a  magazine 
distributor  for  a  number  of  years.

K    Pius    recently    said    in    an    interview 
with   Cardinal    O'Connell   of   Boston : 

"You  know  I  have  'been  a  librarian  all  my 
life.  The  happiest  years  I  have  spent  were 
in  company  with  books."

READING  ALOUD 

In  reading1  aloud  Uncle  George,  or  rather  his 
audience,  suffers  from  his  lively  sense  of  humor. 
His  mirth  is  so  uncontrolled  that  the  funny  pas- 
sage in  a  book,  as  he  renders  it,  usually  sounds 
something  like  this  "Now  listen  to  this  next  bit. 
Funniest  thing  I've  ever  read.  Ho,  ho !  Don't 
misi  a  word.  Har!  'Mr.  Bipp  passed  his — hee, 
hee — cup — oh,  dear,  this  is  so  funny — to  his — 
har,  har — w-w-w-ife  for — splutter — more — hee, 
hee — tea — wow,  I'm  laughing  so  hard  it  hurts 
— and  she — oh,  gracious,  ho,  ho,  ho  !  dropped — 
splub  on  the  bidge  hislh  and  sedge  bam  fish — 
ho — blumdge!'  Ho,  ho,  har!  Now  isn't  that

Review.

IN   connection   with  the   March   emphasis   on 
"Useful  Books"  the  American  Library  As- 
sociation   has     issued    two    attractive    new 
pamphlets  which  will    find  wide  practical  use 
among    libraries    and    bookstores.      Ethel  •Cle- 
land,    head    of    the    business    branch    of    the 
Indianapolis    Public   Library,   is  the  editor  of 
"Business    Books    for    Profit    and    Pleasure," 
a  list  of  forty  titles  from  about  half  that  many 
publishing   lists. 

To  the  reader  of  the  catalog  her  introduction 
says :  ''Read  the  books  in  this  little  list  and 
others  like  them  for  profit  'but  read  them 
also  for  pleasure  ....  Read  them  for  in- 
spiration   Read  them  for  understanding 

....  Read  them  for  efficiency,  and  above  all, 
read  them   for  breadth  and  background." 

From  Abe  Martin,  the  Hoosier  humorist, 
is  most  appropriately  quoted:  "There's  only 
one  thing  that'll  mix  with  business  an'  that's 
printer's  ink." 

The  group  headings  for  the  titles  suggest 
interesting  classifications  for  those  who  have 
business  'books  to  display : 

ursiXF.SS    BOOKS    FOR    PLEASURE    AND    PROFIT 

A  Great  Game. 

Speeding  Up   Efficiency   and   Effort. 

Studying  the  Players  and  Directing  the 
Force.

Charting   Progress  and   Results. 

Writing  and   Talking   Business. 

Crying  the  Wares. 

Selling  the  Product. 

( living  and   Getting   Credit. 

The  eight-page  leaflet  entitled  "Useful  Books 
for  the  Home"  includes  twenty-four  titles. 
"We  are  interpreting  'useful  books,' "  says 
the  editor,  "as  those  that  help  plan  and  keep 
a  home  attractive  and  liveable  and  the  family 
well  cared  for  with  the  least  possible  fuss 
and  bother."  The  headings  under  which  the 
hooks  are  grouped  are  as  follows:

Miss  Graham's  Course  in 
Bookselling 

THE  course  of   ten   lessons  in   Bookselling 
in  the   Public  Library  by  Bessie  Graham 
under  the  auspices  of  the  New  York  Book- 
sellerV  League  came  to  an  end  on  Friday,  March 
loth.     The  subjects  of  the  lessons  were  as  fol- 
lows :

chey's  Victoria)

The   class    has    met    on    consecutive    Friday 

evenings  from  7 — 9  o'clock  in  the  lecture  room 
of  the  New  York  Library  School.  The  aver- 
age attendance  has  been  fifty.  Miss  Graham 
has  treated  of  the  literary  side  of  bookselling, 
using  the  bibliographies  in  "The  Bookman's 
Manual"  as  the  scaffolding  of  her  talk.  After 
each  lesson  there  has  been  an  address  on  the 
commercial  side  of  bookselling  by  some  spe- 
cialist in  the  field.  The  speakers  have  been : 

1.  Frederic  G.  Melcher,  Managing  Editor  of 
the    PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY,  on  Trade   Periodi- 
cals. 

2.  C.   P.   Calhoun,  of  the  Ronald   Press,  on 
Business   Books. 

3.  B.     W.     Huebsch,     Publisher,    on     Early 
Booksellers  and  Publishers. 

4.  Mrs.    Mowbray    Clarke,    of    the    Sunwise 
Turn,  on  the  Specialty  Book  Shop.

Jobbers  tin  the  Book-Trade. 

6.  Whitney    Darrow,   of    Scribner's,    on    the

shop, on  the  Selling  of  Children's  Books. 

ro.  Ernest  Eisle,  of  Brentano's,  closing  ad- 
dress on  Bookselling  Education. 

A  very  interesting  exhibit  of  the  manu- 
facture of  a  book,  "From  Tree  to  Book,"  was 
loaned  6y  Gtrosset  &  Dunlap  to  the  class  at 
its  sixth  meeting. 

A  sheet  of  examination  questions  on  the 
lesson  of  the  evening  >was  given  to  each  mem- 
ber of  the  class  at  the  close  of  each  lesson. 
These  questions  were  answered  by  the  stu- 
dents and  returned  to  Miss  Graham  at  the 
next  lesson.  A  review  of  all  the  lessons  was 
given  at  the  last  and  a  prize  offered  for  the 


The  Publishers'  Weekl\ 

best  examination  paper  of  the  entire  course. 

The  examination  paper  on  Essays  contained 
the  question,  "What  book  of  Essays  contains 
an  essay  on  'Buy  a  Book  a  Week'"?  Very 
few  members  of  the  class  were  able  to  an- 
swer this  question.  The  prize  for  the  best 
final  examination  paper  was  an  autographed 
copy  of  the  book  that  answers  this  question. 

The  Teaching  of  English 

AN  educational  report  of  international  im- 
portance in  England  and  of  significance  to 
all  who  are  interested)  in  the  teaching  of  Eng- 
lish or  of  the  study  of  literature  has  been  re- 
cently published  in  England  and  has  had  wide 
comment.  In  a  pamphlet  entitled  "The  Teach- 
ing of  English  in  England,"  a  departmental 
committee,  appointed  two  years  ago,  makes  its 
findings.  Henry  Newbolt  was  chairman.  The 
pamphlet  contains  105  recommendations  in 
which  the  committee  endeavors  to  start  an  era 
of  clear  thinking  on  the  subject  of  English  as 
a  study  in  itself  and  as  a  vehicle  for  general 
humanistic  education.  Some  of  the  interesting 
comments  are. 

3.  That  every  teacher  is  a  teacher  of  Eng- 
lish, because  every  teacher  is  a  teacher  in  Eng- 
lish and  that  the  whole  of  the  time-table  is 
therefore  available  for  the  teaching  of  English. 

ii.  That  when  the  recognition  and  use  of 
the  symbols  have  been  mastered  the  lesson 
should  be  called  "Literature"  rather  than 
"Reading." 

24.  That  care  should  be  taken  to  insist  on 
the  accurate  use  of  the  English  language  by 
pupils  specializing  in  Mathematics  or  Science. 

30.  That    "the  needs  of  business"   are  best 
met  by  a  liberal  education. 

31.  That    "Commercial    English"    is    objec- 
tionable to  all  who  have  the  purity  of  the  lan- 
guage at  heart,  and  also  unnecessary. 

39.  That  those  responsible  for  technical  and 
commercial  education  should  urge  upon  their 
situdents  the  advantages,  vocational  as  well  as 
cultural,  of  the  pursuit  of  humane  studies. 

TOO.  That  nothing  is  more  vital  for  the 
spread  of  good  literature  than  the  supply  of 
good  editions  of  standard  authors  at  a  moder- 
ate cost. 

101.  That  cooperation  between  the  Public 
Library  Committee  and  the  Local  Education 
Committee  is  of  great  importance. 

103.  That  in  Secondary  Schools  the  pro- 
vision of  a  good  library  is  at  least  as  important 
as  the  provision  of  a  good  laboratory.

A  Correction 

THRU  an  error,  the  advertisement  of  the 
American  Technical  Society  of  Chicago 
announced  in  the  February  25th  issue  of  the 
PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY  that  the  "Cyclopedia  of 
Telephony  and  Telegraphy"  would  be  published 
May  ist.  The  advertisement  should  have  an- 
nounced a  new  volume  on  Telephony  only.  The 
"Cyclopedia  of  Telephony  and  Telegraphy"  is 
an  entirely  different  set  of  books.

BOOK  MEDIUMS 


A  recent  survey  brought  out  the  fact  that  in  the  last  two  years 
publishers'  advertising  increased  in  volume  when  that  of  other  industries 
showed  a  marked  falling-off.  Publishers  have  continued  to  lead  other 
industries  in  lineage  in  the  large  newspapers  even  this  year. 

This  has  resulted  in  decided  gains  in  the  booksellers'  business  and 
has  been  the  means  of  increasing  the  amount  of  news  and  publicity 
about  books.  There  are  to-day  a  greater  number  of  newspapers  and 
periodicals  which  print  news  and  reviews  of  books,  and  even  the  older 
established  book  mediums  are  giving  more  space  to  books. 

Book  mediums  have  shown  a  vast  improvement  in  editorial  contents 
and  mechanical  makeup.  Better  and  more  interesting  material  is 
presented  to  book  lovers,  and  modern  printing  methods  have  been 
utilized  to  make  the  book  pages  more  attractive  in  appearance  and 
general  appeal. 

The  circulation  of  such  book  sections  has  gone  up  by  leaps  and 
bounds  and  they  have  indeed  become  a  dominant  factor  in  the  campaign 
for  the  wider  and  wiser  use  of  books. 


Book  Business  Will  Gain 


The  bookseller  can  promote  sales  in  his  store  by  using  the 
authoritative  reviews  of  books  which  appear  in  good  book  mediums.  It 
is  very  helpful  to  keep  a  file  of  recent  issues  of  the  important  book 
review  mediums  in  a  convenient  place  so  that  customers  may  refer  to 
them.  This  will  be  the  means  often  of  helping  customers  find  "that  book 
which  I  saw  reviewed  the  other  day."  It  is  business  which  should  not  be 
turned  away,  as  it  some  times  is,  when  it  can  be  so  easily  held. 

Reprints  of  book  review  mediums  are  now  being  offered  to  the 
dealers  at  a  low  cost.  Full  advantage  should  be  taken  of  such  offers.

PERSONS  WHO  purchase  the  Book  Review 
and  Magazine  are  more  intelligent  and  more  in- 
terested in  good  reading  than  the  average.  An 
announcement  in  its  columns  is  presented  to  the

owners  of  large  and  well  selected  libraries.

'Intelligentsia  and  "Cognoscenti 


There  was  a  day  when  only  the  special  folk  designated  by  those 
formidable  words  were  presumed  to  be  privileged  to  discuss  literature. 

The  majority  of  book  supplements  catered  almost  exclusively  to 
them.  At  least,  so  one  judged  by  reviews  and  articles.  The  ordinary 
mortal,  wading  through  the  marshes  of  usual  book-criticism,  found 
himself  going  under.  Apparently  his  brow  was  not  high  enough  for 
successful  exploration. 

The  Book  Page  of  The  Chicago  Daily  News  took  quite  a  different 
viewpoint. 

The  Chicago  Daily  News  established  once  and  for  all  the  fact 
that  literature  can  be  treated  with  dignity,  and  yet  without  all  the  fus- 
tian and  verbal  folderol  of  literary  snobs. 

It  believed  that  really  good  books  needed  no  specialized  audience; 
that  they  could  be  appreciated  by  anyone;  and  that  the  kind  of  criticism 
that  counts  is  the  kind  that  will  explain  the  true  value  of  a  work — 
whether  good  or  bad — in  language  that  is  comprehensible  to  the  casual 
reader  as  well  as  the  most  determined  book-fan. 

Such  is  the  criticism  always  to  be  found  on  The  Wednesday  Book 
Page  of  The  Chicago  Daily  News.  Authentic  reviews  in  a  style  of  bril- 
liant informality,  interesting  to  every-day  persons  as  well  as  to  the 
"cognoscenti"  and  the  "intelligentsia." 

That  is  why  advertising  in  The  Chicago  Daily  News  sells  good 
books.  Publishers,  who  are  the  real  judges  of  paying  reader-interest, 
accordingly  place  the  bulk  of  their  Chicago  advertising  in  The  Daily 
News. 

Following  is  the  comparative  record  of  book-lineage  in  Chicago 
papers  for  the  month  of  February,  1922: 

The  Chicago  Daily  News 9,369  lines 

Tribune    4,137  lines 

Herald-Examiner 2,910  lines 

Post    7,753  lines 

American lines

The  Book  Page  reaches  EVERY  class  of  reader.

Double  Service  to  Booksellers 


The  Literary  Review 

of  the  New  York  Evening  Post 

1  OU  who  are  booksellers  need  no  introduction  to  The  Literary 
Review,  edited  by  Henry  Seidel  Canby.  You  doubtless  know  it 
well  enough  by  now  to  understand  why  H.  L.  Mencken  says  :  "It 
is  the  best  literary  magazine  ever  set  up  in  America." 

But  do  you  know  how  valuable  The  Literary  Review  can  be 
to  you  in  your  own  business?  Do  you  realize  that  you  can  use 
the  authoritative  reviews  that  appear  in  it  to  promote  your  own 
sales  ?  The  Literary  Review  sends  weekly  a  wave  of  book-hunger 
across  America.  Powers  of  Minneapolis,  Ayres  of  Indianapolis, 
and  many  other  bookstores  have  made  The  Literary  Review  a 
strong  link  in  their  selling  plan.  Some  of  these  bookdealers  have 
taken  advantage  of  our  group  subscription  plan,  and  are  mailing 
out  The  Literary  Review  with  their  imprint  to  a  selected  list  of 
customers.  Write  to  us  for  our  special  bulk  order  prices. 

Make  Your  Shop  Known  to  America 

Why  not  make  your  shop  known  not  only  to  the  people  of 
your  locality  but  also  to  booklovers  everywhere?  For  one  dollar 
you  can  carry  a  standing  announcement  of  four  lines,  well  dis- 
played, in  "The  Bookshop,"  our  classified  advertising  department, 
on  an  editorial  page  devoted  to  book  sales.  Note  this  testimonial 
from  Leslie  Chaundy  &  Co.  of  London: 

"We  appreciate  the  extraordinary  response  icMcli  ire  get  from 
advertisements  in  i/owr  paper,  so  much  so  tliot,  ivith  the  excep- 
tion of  The  London  Mercury,  The  Literary  Review  is  the  only 
paper  in  which  we  regularly  advertise." 

The  Literary  Review,  independent  of  its  over  57,000  Evening 
Post  readers,  has  a  subscription  list  of  12,000  teachers,  librarians, 
and  booklovers.  Your  announcement  in  The  Literary  Review  will 
brii  g  them  to  your  shop  when  they  visit  your  city,  or  will  produce 
mail  orders.

WHY  BOOKLOVERS  READ 


—  and  also  why  THE 
WORLD  is  one  of  the 
country's  greatest 
factors  in  the  distri' 
button  of  books. 


WITH  1922,  THE  WORLD  entered  upon 
a  notable  program  of  editorial  expan- 
sion. Among  the  recent  aquisitions  to  the 
staff  is  Heywood  Broun,  who  has  been  called  one 
of  the  most  brilliant  writers  in  America.  His  daily 
column,  ' 'It  Seems  to  Me,"  devoted  to  worthwhile 
book  reviews,  current  events  and  the  stage,  is  a 
contribution  of  strength  and  power  to  the  daily 
journalism  of  the  country. 

Another  new  WORLD  feature  is  "The  Conning 
Tower"  of  Franklin  P.  Adams,  otherwise  "F.  P. 
A.,"  whose  "colyum"  has  for  many  years  served 
as  the  daily  shock  absorber  for  jaded  New  Yorkers, 
who  found  in  it  each  morning  that  jovial  admixture  of  good  nature 
and  sound  philosophy  that  gave  them  courage  to  face  another 
twenty-four  hours  with  a  smile. 

Deems  Taylor,  himself  a  musician  of  note,  writes  about  music 
for  THE  WORLD,  and  to  the  already  strong  editorial  page,  which 
commands  pens  among  the  most  trenchant  in  America,  there  came 
with  the  new  year  Walter  Lippmann,  who,  as  an  author  and  Asso- 
ciate Editor  of  The  New  Republic,  has  acquired  a  justified  reputa- 
tion for  the  sanity,  the  clarity  and  the  easy  understanding  of  his 
political  philosophy.

Charles  H.   Russell  and  Edward  Brandus  of 
this  airy,  with  additions,  were  sold  at  the  Amer- 
ican Art   Galleries   March    I  and  2,   bringing 
$5,399-50.    Prices  generally  were  low. 

Three  sales  take  place  at  the  American  Art 
Galleries  beginning  with  the  middle  of  the 
month.  On  March  15  and  16  library  sets,  first

John  P.  Woodbury  of  Boston,  will  be  sold. 
This  sale  contains  choice  and  rare  books  in  fine

Continental  masters.  On  March  17  several  con-

•portraits  of  Johnson,  Boswell  and  other  celeb- 
rities, views  of  places  asociated  with  Johnson's 
life,  memorable  scenes  in  his  career,  and  fac- 
similes of  letters  and  manuscripts  of  Johnson 
and  his  correspondents.  These  illustrations, 
many  of  which  have  never  been  published,  are 
reproduced  from  the  famous  collection  of 
R.  B.  Adam,  of  Buffalo.  The  volumes  will 
each  contain  an  introduction  in  the  form  of 
an  essay,  written  by  a  prominent  man  of  let- 
ters or  t>y  a  Johnsonian  authority,  especially' 
for  this  edition  under  the  general  editorship 
of  Clement  Shorter,  editor  of  The  Sphere  of 


London.  The  writers  of  these  essays  are  as 
follows :  Aleyn  Lyell  Reade,  an  English  author- 
ity on  Johnson  and  Boswell ;  Augustine  Birrell, 
English  author  and  publicist;  Professor  Wil- 
liam P.  Trent,  of  Columbia  University ;  Gilbert 
K.  Chesterton,  English  essayist;  A.  Edward 
Newton,  author  of  "The  Amenities  of  Book 
Collecting;"  John  Drinkwater,  English  drama- 
tist; R.  B.  Adam,  the  owner  of  the  finest 
collection  of  Johnsomiana  in  existence;  Walter 
de  la  Mare,  English  poet  and  essayist;  Pro- 
fessor Chauncey  Brewster  Tinker  of  Yale 
University,  an  American  authority  on  Boswell ; 
and  Richard  Ashe  King,  London  author  and 
journalist.  The  volumes  will  be  of  medium 
size,  light  weight,  printed  from  large  type, 
making,  we  believe,  one  of  the  finest  reading 
editions  of  this  masterpiece  that  has  ever  been 
printed.  There  will  be  considerable  demand  for 
this  set  from  across  the  Atlantic  as  soon  as 
its  merits  become  known  and  the  remainder  of 
the  edition  is  likely  to  go  in  a  hurry  when 
it  is  ready  for  delivery.

By  RICHARD  ROBERTS 

A  new  book  by  Dr.  Roberts,  author  of  "The  Untried  Door,"  "On 
to  the  City  of  God,"  etc. ;  based  on  addresses  given  at  the  Y.  M.

sincerity.  "In  Divinity  and  Love  What's  Best  Worth  Saying

THE  LEGACY  OF  GREECE 

Ity  GILBERT  MURRAY  and  others  .         ^f  #3.25 

A  remarkable  book  written  by  a  dozen  of  the  world's  greatest 
classical  scholars  to  show  what  modern  civilization  owes  to 
that  of  Greece,  and  what  it  can  still  learn  from  her.  ' 

A  BOOK  OF  WOMEN'S  VERSE 

%  J.  C.  SQUIRE  ^  #3.75 

"Poetry  is  poetry  whoever  writes  it,  but  so  far  as  my  observ- 
ation goes  people  do  feel  curiosity  about  women's  contributions 
to  the  arts.  I  felt  this  curiosity  when  I  conceived  this  antho- 
logy: and  it  would  be  stupid  not  to  admit  it."  A  delightful 
addition  to  Mr.  Squire's  already  long  list  of  charming  volumes. 

WILTSHIRE  ESSAYS 

•%  MAURICE  HEWLETT  ^t  #2.50 

In  a  happy  mood  Mr.  Hewlett  says  of  these  essays,  "they  were 
all  written  in  my  county.'  *  Some  of  them  deal  with  the  doings 
of  my  neighbours  as  I  view  them  from  here ;  some  deal  with 
literature  as  I  think  about  it  here."  Incidentally  they  make  good 
reading  for  anybody  anywhere.

A  study  of  actual  practice  with  a  view  to  discovering  fundamental

for  a  policy,  but  such  survey  as  may  be  useful.

period  when  it  held  first  place  in  Eu-

SHEILA  OF  BIG  WRECK  COVE  By  James  A.  Cooper 

Ready  April   ist 

Can  one  girl  impersonate  another  and  carry  out  the  deception  successfully?  This  is 
the  all-important  question  raised  in  Mr.  Cooper's  new  Cape  Cod  story  —  a  romance,  so 
sweeping  in  its  broad  pictures  of  life  on  the  Cape,  so  thrilling  in  its  scenes  of  storm  and 
stress,  so  broadly  humorous  one  minute  and  so  highly  romantic  the  next,  that  it  is  sure 
to  mark  an  epoch  in  this  branch  of  our  national  literature.  To  know  Sheila  is  to  lover  her 
—  love  her  in  spite  of  that  awful  deception  which  was  practiced  when  she  knew  not  which 
way  to  turn  or  what  to  do.  Through  it  all  runs  the  salt  of  the  never-resting  sea,  of  strong 
hearts,  and  of  a  love  that  no  catastrophe  could  quench. 

This  story  shows  Mr.  Cooper  at  his  best,  and  that,  as  his  many  admirers  know,  is 
saying  a  great  deal.  I2mo,  doth,  illustrated  and  with  colored  wrapper.  Net,  $1.75

ABROAD  WITH  MARK  TWAIN 

AND  EUGENE  FIELD 

Tales  They  Told  to  a  Fellow-Correspondent 

By  Henry  W.  Fisher 

Fisher  presents  here  the  story  of  his  intimate  association  in  Europe  with 
Mark  Twain  and  relates  some  of  those  man-to-man  anecdotes  that  found  no  place 
in  his  published  letters  or  in  his  writings.  Such  anecdotes  will  be  of  surpassing 
interest  not  only  for  themselves,  but  also  for  the  new  light  they  shed  on  the  unique 
and  cherished  personality  of  the  Prince  of  American  humorists.  And  as  with 
Mark  Twain,  so  with  Eugene  Field,  who  gladly  availed  himself  of  the  guidance 
of  Henry  W.  Fisher.  It  is  to  the  association  and  friendship  then  formed  that  we 
are  indebted  for  these  new  revelations  of  our  well-beloved  Eugene  Field.  This 
volume  is  edited  by  Merle  Johnson,  the  well-known  bibliographer  of  Mark  Twain. 
doth,  246  pages,  $2.25. 

A  special  edition  of  this  book  has  been  printed  on  Blandford,  Antique  Laid 
paper.  It  consists  of  325  numbered  copies.  Roma  hoards,  linen  back,  octavo,  $5.00

W.  DOUGLAS 

NEWTON 


This  English  novelist  is  now  thirty  odd  years  of  age,  but  he  retains  all  the  zest 
for  the  romance  of  life  which  made  him  as  a  boy,  sailing  for  South  America, 
nearly  put  the  ship  into  quarantine  by  flying  a  home-made  "yellow-jack"  from 
the  rigging,  when  entering  Rio.  Though  not  retaining  his  desire  for  piracy,  his 
life  has  been  diversified  and  zestful.  He  entered  an  engineering  firm,  but  found 
the  rough  humanity  of  the  work-shops  more  interesting  than  the  work;  he  tried 
architecture;  he  was  in  a  Mining  Company  office;  he  studied  for  the  English 
Civil  Service;  was  an  insurance  broker;  took  up  journalism  and  found  it  of 
thrilling  usefulness  during  the  war;  took  part  in  the  Royal  Flying  Corps'  war 
activities;  accompanied  the  Prince  of  Wales  on  his  American  tour,  writing 
"Westward  with  the  Prince  of  Wales"  as  record  of  the  visit.  He  has  written 
several  novels,  including  his  recent  "Low  Ceilings,"  which  was  so  favorably 
received  for  its  fine  presentation  of  English  middle-class  life  and  character. 


"DOUBLE-CROSSED,"  W.  Douglas  Newton's  new  novel  of 
the  Canadian  Northwest  is  a  thrilling  adventure  romance,  swift 
in  action  and  absorbingly  interesting  in  the  story  unfolded.  It 
tells  of  how  Eloise  Reys,  heiress  to  a  vast  fortune,  sails  from 
England  to  Canada,  answering  the  call  of  a  ne'er-do-well,  for 
whom  she  remembers  a  girlish  love.  This  man  is  the  tool  of 
a  band  of  conspirators  and  gripping  indeed  are  the  fortunes  of 
this  young  woman,  lured  across  the  ocean  to  the  depths  of  the 
lonely  wilderness.  The  conspirators  are  a  striking  group  of 
derelict  humanity  and  a  superbly  portrayed  figure  is  the  young 
English  diplomat  whom  chance  makes  her  protector.  $1.75  net

benevolent  sots,  sweet  wantons,  gentle  policemen,

"I  think  this  is  the  best  story  of  life  in  China  that  has  been  put  out  thus  far.  A  million

happened  in  recent  years;  all  the  incidents  are  true  to  life." — ISAAC  TAYLOR  HEADLAND,

EXPLORERS 

OF   THE    DAWN 

Read  why:  — 


What  one  bookseller  says: 

"T  TAVE  just  finished  reading  'Explorers  of 

1    the  Dawn.'  Appearing  at  a  time  when 

several  best-sellers   that   we   have   in 

mind  are  in  full  sway,  it  affects  us  as  did  the 

Spring  of  1920  after  the  extreme  Winter  of 

1919-20,  or,  as  a  bookseller's  Xmas  Day  after 

the  annual  rush. 

"The  Seraph,  the  Angel  and  John  are  a- 
dopted  members  of  our  family  whether  they 
will  or  no;  and  Mary  Ellen  too,  to  care  for 
them.  We  shall  be  content  if  the  next  book, 
and  there  must  be  a  next,  by  Miss  de  la  Roche 
is  as  good  as  'Explorers  of  the  Dawn.' 

"Please  accept  a  thousand  of  our  gratetullest 
thanks  for  the  opportunity  given  me  to  have 
read  it ....  I  do  not  think  that  1  could  ade- 
quately describe  the  real  pleasure  that  this  little 
volume  caused  my  family  and  myself. 

"I  certainly  hopethat'Explorersof  theDawn' 
reaches  the  large  audience  that  en- 
joys this  type  of  literature."

"'""[""'HOSE  who  still  have  youthful  hearts  and

elect.  There  is  no  crime  in  it,  no  triangles  disfigure

commend it,  is  the  unquenched  spirit  ofyouth.the 
unspoiled  laughter  of  three  little  boys,  'Angel,  Se-

to  spin  a  romance  of  fancy,  to  stride  the  quarter- 
decks of  pirate  ships,  to  fraternize  with  organ- 
grinders  and  cobblers,  and  are  equally  at  home 
with  bishops,  dogs  and  the  derelicts  of  life.  Sly  hu- 
mor, sudden  pathos,  sheer  joyousness  are  hidden 
away  in  its  pages;  but  the  sophisticated,  the  blas£ 
and  the  thrill-seeker  had  better  steer  clear  of  it; 
it  has  no  message  for  them."

From  a  Former  Fat  Woman: 

''Dear  Dr.  Peters :  This  is  no  doubt 
one  of  thousands  of  similar  letters  you 
receive,  but  I  want  to  tell  you  how  your 
DIET  AND  HEALTH  helped  me.  I'm 
more  grateful  than  I  could  ever  tell  you. 
"Last  year  while  nursing  my  baby,  I 
consumed  quarts  of  milk,  cocoa  and 
everything  fattening  until,  horror  upon 
horror!  /  zt-eighed  212  pounds — and  am 
only  5  feet  4  incJifs  tall. 
"That  was  last  May  first.  I'm  still  the 
same  height,  but  thanks  to  you  and  your 
book,  /  noiv  weigh  134  pounds.  Isn't 
that  quite  a  remarkable  reduction?  I 
feel  like  a  human  being  instead  of  a 
ten-ton  truck — and  moreover,  resemble 
more  nearly  a  human  being  than  a  Vic- 
trola. 

"When  I  read  these  fool  diets  published 
in.  the  different  periodicals — cutting  all 
the  foods  you  really  like  out  of  your 
life  forever — I  just  long  to  sit  down 
and  refute  them  and  tell  them  that's  all 
unnecessary  if  they  will  only  read  and 
follow  DIET  AND  HEALTH."

owed the  Church  in  the  past  few  years, 
there  has  come  about  a  tendency  among  some 
people  to  underestimate  decidedly  the  impor- 
tance of  the  leadership  which  the  pulpit  of  the 
country  really  has  in  our  communities.  Even 
tho  they  now  share  with  other  leaders  the  re- 
sponsibility for  community  progress  they  have 
a  forum  and  an  audience  of  a  size  not 
granted  to  others.  Not  fully  to  realize  how  the 
Church  as  an  institution  is  constantly  mould- 
ing the  thought  of  the  world,  as  well  as  serv- 
ing to  bring  together  for  united  action  mil- 
lions of  people  is  to  have  no  adequate  view  of 
the  constructive  forces  in  the  country. 

One  of  the  weaknesses  of  many  pulpits  has 
been  the  lack  of  opportunity  for  study  among 
the  clergy  after  clergymen  have  assumed  their 
place  in  the  community.  It  should  be  the 
interest  of  the  bookstore  to  help  bring  together 
the  material  on  which  the  pulpit  will  build 
wider  views  and  greater  effectiveness.  The 
bookstore  should  supply  the  material  with 
which  the  pulpit  may  help  to  mould  the  com- 
munity along  the  lines  of  its  highest  vision. 
A  bookstore  does  not  need  to  have  a  fully 
developed  religious  department  to  find  this  rela- 
tion to  the  pulpit  of  real  importance ;  and  one 
of  the  best  things  a  bookseller  can  do  is  to 
solidify  his  connections  with  those  preachers 
that  are  really  leaders  in  the  community. 

Those  men  who  are  the  real  leaders  realize 
as  clearly  as  does  the  bookseller  or  librarian 
the  importance  of  the  printed  word  as  a  sup- 
plement to  the  spoken  word.  The  very  foun- 
dation of  the  Church  was  laid  on  this  basis, 
the  written  word  carrying  on  the  vision  of  the 
spoken  word.  That  a  national  movement 
among  the  churches  to  give  emphasis  to  printed 
religion  should  have  risen  so  spontaneously  is  a 
testimony  to  the  soundness  of  the  idea,  and  in 
the  second  year  of  its  celebration  Religious 


Book  Week  will  have  results  that  could  hardly 
be  foreseen  when  the  first  plan  was  made  a 
year  ago. 

Those  who  know  religious  literature  in  its 
broadest  sense  owe  a  responsibility  for  guid- 
ance to  the  great  (public  who  will  'be  really 
interested  when  such  guidance  is  offered.  The 
responsibility  should  be  keenly  appreciated  as 
it  has  come  to  be  appreciated  in  the  realm  of 
children's  books.  Clear  thinking  and  high 
thinking  were  never  more  necessary,  and  those 
who  are  closely  in  touch  with  the  distribution 
of  religious  literature  find  that  on  all  sides 
there  is  an  increased  appreciation  of  this  point. 

People  more  and  more  realize  that  to  have 
preachers  without  audiences  is  to  balk  high 
thought  at  the  point  of  its  real  usefulness. 
This  is  just  as  true  of  the  printed  word.  That 
books  of  finer  vision  should  be  written  is  a 
great  achievement,  but  it  should  be  more 
clearly  understood  that  what  is  needed  is 
organization  and  co-operation  to  get  the  books 
read.  It  takes  good  machinery  and  concen- 
trated enthusiasm  to  get  the  right  book  to 
the  right  reader,  and,  as  there  are  only  too 
few  who  are  occupied  with  this  problem,  they 
need  to  have  the  co-operative  spirit  in  order 
to  bring  about  the  greatest  results. 

Religious  Book  Week 

RELIGIOUS    BOOK   WEEK   which   has 
its   second  annual   observance  April   2-8, 
has   found  a  usefulness   and  significance 
that   gives    it   an   important  place  among   the 
year-round  activities  of  the  book  world. 

The  original  suggestion  was  brought  up  in 
the  fall  of  1920  by  a  group  of  publishers  and 
heads  of  religious  houses  who  felt  that  there 
was  a  wider  public  desire  for  the  best  relig- 
ious books  and  a  possibility  of  their  distri- 
bution far  'beyond  what  was  hedng  accom- 
plished. This  committee  believed  that  by  a 
study  of  the  channels  of  the  distribution  of 
religious  books,  by  offering  to  those  who  han- 
dled them  new  ideas  and  new  suggestions  for 
their  sale,  and  by  following  such  a  study  with 
a  campaign  of  direct  sales  promotion,  that  a 
great  deal  might  be  accomplished  that  would 
have  lasting  effect. 

The  pulpit  and  religious  press  found  this 
idea  very  much  in  accordance  with  their  own 
line  of  thought,  and  the  result  of  the  joint 
effort  was  a  great  deal  of  stimulus  to  the 
whole  field.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


SECOND  ANNUAL 


Religious  Book 

APRIL  2-8 


k 


It  was  significant  of  the  breadth  of  the  plan 
that  all  types  of  religious  houses — Evangelical, 
Catholic,  Jewish,  Liberal — were  to  be  included, 
using  the  same  program  and  putting  the  same 
thought  forward  co-operatively. 

After  the  close  of  the  first  year's  effort,  the 
committee    in   charge   resolved   to   extend    the 
work  to  the  next  season,  and  last  December 
the  following  committee  was  organized : 
H.   W.  Cressman,  American  Baptist  Publi- 
cation Society. 

Vernor  M.  Schenck,  Congregational  Publish- 
ing Society. 

Charles  M.  Roe,  George  H.  Doran  Company. 
Charles  E.  Bloch,  The  Jewish  Book  Concern. 
Arthur  Kenedy,  P.  J.  Kenedy  and  Sons. 
Arthur    F.     Stevens,    The    Methodist    Book 

Concern. 

William  Thomson,  Thomas  Nelson  and  Sons. 
F.    S.     Braselman,     Presbyterian    Board   of 

Publication. 

S.  Edgar   Briggs,  Fleming  H.   Revell  Com- 
pany. 
Donald    P.    Bean,    University    of    Chicago 

Press. 

Frederic  G.  Melcher,  Chairman. 
Marion  Humble,  Executive  Secretary. 

As  the  first  plan  for  the  work  had  come 
from  members  of  the  National  Association  of 
Book  Publishers,  their  headquarters  were  used 
for  the  campaign  details,  and  the  committee 
extended  to  include  others  who  would  be  nat- 
urally interested. 

The  funds  for  the  work  have  been  from 
the  general  campaign  collections  for  Year- 
Round  Bookselling  supplemented  by  separate 
contributions  from  those  only  interested  in 
religious  'books.  The  amount  available  is 
double  that  used  last  year,  and  will  provide 
for  eleven  thousand  posters,  many  thousand 
cards  reproducing  the  poster,  thousands  of 
pamphlets  distributed  to  ministers,  book  bands 
for  Easter  giving,  and  numerous  news  sheets 
sent  to  the  book-trade. 

The  religfious  press  'has  taken  up  the  plan 
with  a  great  deal  of  enthusiasm  and  under- 
standing, and  about  thirty  of  the  important 
papers  are  having  special  numbers  or  special 
departments  on  religious  books. 


Special  emphasis  has  been  laid  this  year  on 
the  question  of  the  importance  of  religious 
books  in  the  home,  and  the  poster,  with  the 
slogan  "Good  Books  Are  Life  Teachers,"  is 
an  effort  to  emphasize  this  point.  Leading 
clergymen  have  been  generous  in  their  help 
to  the  movement,  and  a  score  or  more  articles, 
taking  up  the  question  of  religious  reading, 
have  'been  sent  to  a  large  number  of  newspa- 
pers and  magazines.  Many  new  plans  for  hand- 
ling religious  books  and  developing  interest  in 
them  have  developed  from  this  discussion  and 
the  committee  has  found  that  the  interest  this 
year  is  to  be  many  times  that  which  rewarded 
the  first  effort. 

The  whole  .movement  is  one  of  such  fun- 
damental importance  to  the  cause  of  sound 
book  distribution  and  appeals  to  such  a  tre- 
mendous circle  of  readers  that  it  ought  to 
become  as  much  a  permanent  part  of  book 
distribution  as  Children's  Book  Week;  and 
with  increased  study  of  the  question  there  will 
come  increased  ability  to  turn  the  occasion 
to  the  greatest  possible  advantage  to  the 
country. 


Religious  Book  Week 
A  Statement 

BY  WILLIAM    E.   BARTON 
Pastor     of     The    First     Congregational 

Church,  Oak  Park,  III. 
I  am  very  glad  of  the  establishment 
of  Religious  Book  Week.  It  is  not 
enough  for  people  to  read  the  current 
novels  and  magazines.  Religious  fam- 
ilies ought  to  build  up  good  libraries 
of  religious  books.  Children  should  be 
made  familiar  with  them  in  their  youth. 
It  as  a  wholesome  thing  for  every  family 
who  cares  for  the  higher  things  of  life 
to  give  attention  to  the  additions  that 
are  made  to  the  home  library.  This 
ought  to  include  something  more  than 
the  incidental,  trivial  and  flippant  things, 
which  too  many  people  are  content  to 
buy  and  read.  If  we  are  to  train  up  a 
generation  capable  of  sustained  thought 
and  possessed  of  strong  convictions, 
there  must  be  some  attention  to  the 
selections  and  purchase  of  good  books 
for  the  home.

What  is  A  Religious  Book? 

By  Harold  B.  Hunting 

Author  of  "The  Story  of  Our  Bible,"  formerly  Manager  of  "The  Religious 
Bookshop,"  now  with  McDevitt-Wilson's,  Inc. 


ONE  of  the  most  important  religious  lec- 
ture foundations  in  the  country  is  the 
William  Belden  Noble  series  at  Harvard, 
In  the  will  which  was  left  by  the  founder  of 
the  lectureship,  there  is  a  notable  statement 
which  declares  that  the  lectures  "may  include 
philosophy,  literature,  art,  poetry,  the  natural 
sciences,  political  economy,  sociology,  ethics, 
history,  both  civil  and  ecclesiastical,  as  well  as 
theology  and  the  more  direct  interests  of  the 
religious  life."  In  other  words,  "the  scope  of 
the  lectures  shall  be  as  wide  as  the  highest 
interests  of  humanity."  The  only  limitation 
is  that  one  end  shall  be  kept  in  view,  "the 
perfection  af  the  spiritual  man." 

From  this  point  of  view,  a  much  more  broad 
and  liberal  definition  of  a  religious  book  is 
called  for  than  perhaps  as  usual,  at  least  in 
most  book  stores.  One  reason  why  some  book- 
sellers have  not  found  religious  books  profit- 
able, may  be  that  they  have  not  clearly  under- 
stood the  answer  to  our  question  "What  is 
a  religious  book?" 

What  is  religion  itself?  There  are  many 
different  forms  of  religion  or  of  what  passes 
for  religion.  Besides  the  hundreds  of  sects 
in  Christendom,  there  are  the  other  great 
world  religions,  and  the  countless  crude  super- 
stitions of  savage  tribes.  Yet  we  recognize, 
as  it  were  by  intuition,  that  there  is  a  com- 
mon element  underlying  all  these  phenomena, 
some  fundamental  human  impulse  manifesting 
itself  in  all  these  ways.  What  is  it?  Stu- 
dents of  the  problem  seem  to  be  approaching 
agreement.  Religion  everywhere  is  closely  re- 
lated to  the  greatest  satisfactions  of  life.  It 
is  noticeable  that  agricultural  tribes  usually 
worship  gods  and  fertility.  The  "good  old  Ger- 
man god'r  of  the  Prussian  military  caste,  was 
essentially  a  war  god,  just  like  the  war  gods 
of  certain  ancient  nations-  On  the  other  hand 
the  religion  of  Jesus  consisted  in  the  worship 
of  a  Father  in  Heaven.  In  other  words,  if 
we  may  risk  a  definition,  a  man's  religion  is 
his  idealization  of  what  he  cares  most  for. 
That  is  what  all  men  are  about,  when  they 
are  sincerely  reJigioua. 

This  conclusion  towards  which  we  seem  to 
be  led  by  the  best  modern  students  of  com- 
parative religion,  is  obviously  in  harmony  with 
the  spirit  of  the  William  Belden  Noble  lec- 
tureship. A  religious  book  is  one  which  helps 
us  to  get  the  really  best  out  of  any  of  the 
concrete  interests  of  life.  Literature,  art, 
poetry,  natural  science,  sociology,  history — all 


of  these  may  be  treated  religiously.  In  a 
way,  all  good  books  might  be  called  religious. 
Certainly  all  truly  good  literature  is  infused 
with  the  religious  spirit.  But  there  are  cer- 
tain books  which  more  explicitly  and  directly 
undertake  to  point  the  way  to  the  highest  goals 
of  life.  These  are  the  books  which  belong 
in  the  "religious'*  section  of  the  general 
'bookstore. 

It  follows  from  the  above,  however,  that 
in  this  section  there  must  be  sub-classifications. 
It  is  a  mistake  to  place  all  the  religious  books 
in  the  store  under  the  one  label  "Religion."  If 
religion  is  the  idealizing  of  all  the  highest  in- 
terests of  'human  life,  there  must  be  subhead- 
ings. For  example,  there  will  be  a  section 
called  "Religion  and  Social  Relations."  Here 
will  be  placed  such  'books  as  "Christianizing 
the  Social  Order,"  by  Walter  Rauschenbusch, 
and  many  others  advocating  and  interpreting 
a  more  truly  socialized  religion ;  a  reltigion 
which  hotly  protests  against  social  injustice 
and  industrial  tyranny,  and  seeks  to  know  the 
God  of  love,  thru  the  experience  of  love  in 
everyday  human  relations. 

There  will  be  a  section  headed  "Religious 
Education,"  which  will  not  only  contain  books 
for  Sunday  school  teachers,  but  also  books 
which  will  be  helpful  to  parents  in  the  train- 
ing of  their  children.  There  will  be  sections 
on  ''Religious  Art"  and  "Religious  Biography," 
besides  the  more  common  sections  devoted  to 
"Bible  Study,"  ''Devotional  Books,"  and  "Lives 
of  Christ." 

On  the  other  hand,  there  are  certain  books 
\vhich  might  be  loosely  classed  as  religious 
which  would  .be  ruled,  out  by  the  definition  we 
are  following,  for  exam/pie,  technical  theo- 
logical works  and  commentaries,  collections  of 
sermort  outlines  and  other  ''homiletical  helps." 
All  these  are  tools  for  clergymen  in  their  pro- 
fessional work,  and  are  indirectly  rather  than 
directly  religious.  Stores  which  cater  to  the 
"church  trade"  will  profitably  handle  them. 
But  they  do  not  appeal  to  the  ''man  on  the 
street."  The  latter  is  not  attracted,  either, 
by  books  of  sectarian  propaganda.  He  is 
attracted,  however,  by  books  which  really  help 
him  to  get  the  most  out  of  life — in  other  words, 
religious  books  of  the  type  we  have  been 
describing.  For  the  religious  impulse  is  uni- 
versal. 

"There  are  cities  without  theaters,"  said 
Plutarch ;  "there  are  cities  without  schools ; 
there  are  cities  wnthout  wall? ;  but  nowhere

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


have  I  seen  a  city  without  a  temple  or  a  house 
of  prayer."  Religion  is  not  confined  to  church 
people.  It  sometimes  seems  that  there  is  as 
much  religion  outside  the  churches  as  in  them. 
Even  men  wiho  call  themselves  atheists  will 
often  be  found  to  be  deeply  religious.  Some- 
times they  make  a  religion  of  their  atheism. 
This  is  why  the  Bible  never  ceases  to  be  the 
best  seller.  There  are  also  certain  religious 
classics  which  most  stores  will  always  carry 
because  of  the  constant  demand  for  them ; 
for  example,  "The  Imitation  of  Christ,"  by 
Thomas  a  Kempis,  or,  more  recently,  "The 
Greatest  Thing  in  the  World,"  by  Henry 
Drummond.  These  ibooks,  as  well  as  the  Bible, 
tell  the  ordinary  man  in  simple  and  untech- 
nical  language,  something  about  the  meaning 
and  purposes  of  life. 

To  ibe  able  to  select  the  best  among  the 
new  religious  'books  which  are  being  published 
from  time  to  time,  the  bookseller  does  not 
need  a  technical  theological  training.  There 
is,  of  course,  much  trash  which  passes  for 
religion  just  as  there  is  trash  which  is  labelled 
"notion"  or  "biography."  And  the  greater 
one's  knowledge,  especially  one's  knowledge  of 
the  tendencies  of  present  day  religious  think- 
ing, the  more  readily  will  one  discriminate  the 


trasih  from  the  worth-while  books.  Moreover, 
the  bookseller  needs  to  study  his  local  com- 
munity. Some  are  conservative  and  some  are 
liberal.  There  are  books  which  ought  to  have 
a  wide  sale,  except  that  the  very  readers  who 
would  enjoy  them  are  prejudiced  against  the 
author's  denomination  or  school  of  theology. 
Religious  prejudices  are  foolish,  but  they  are 
very  persistent.  It  would  be  wise  for  a  book 
seller  to  consult  the  publishing  agencies  of 
the  leading  denominations  of  his  town,  an  re- 
gard to  the  recent  books  most  likely  to  be 
salable  among  the  laymen  of  that  particular 
church.  But  all  this  merely  means  that  the 
same  common  sense  and  intelligence  are  needed 
in  the  handling  of  religious  books  as  in  the 
general  book  field.  The  only  sipecial  require- 
ment would  seem  to  be  a  certain  amount  of 
sympathy  for  the  religious  attitude  toward 
life.  The  man  who  is  thoroly  cynical  and  ma- 
terialistic in  his  outlook  will  hardly  make  a 
successful  salesman  in  this  department.  But 
with  this  qualification  it  would  not  seem  diffi- 
cult for  any  of  us  in  the  book-trade  to  under- 
stand what  a  religious  book  really  is,  and  to 
build  up  a  business  in  this  type  of  book  which 
will  be  profitable  both  to  ourselves  and  to 
our  customers. 


Representation  of  Religious  Thought  in  the 

Public  Library 

By  Elima  A.  Foster 

Head  of  Division  of  Philosophy  and  Religion,  Cleveland  Public  Library 


[A  paper  read  at  the  Swampscott  Conference  of  the 
American  Library  Association,  June  24,  1921.] 

IN  the  oity  of  London  at  the  present  time  there 
is  being  erected  by  the  Bush  Terminal  Com- 
pany a  great  building.  Every  known  method 
is  being  used  to  produce  a  structure  that  will 
long  remain,  and  the  owners  expect,  however 
optimistically,  that  its  span  of  life  will  be  two, 
or  even  three,  thousand  years.  It  has  been  de- 
cided to  place  a  coffer  in  the  foundations,  and 
the  advice,  of  H.  G.  Wells  has  been  sought  as 
to  what  should  be  placed  in  the  coffer, — what, 
in  short,  should  prove  of  most  value  to  the 
historian  of  2,000  years  or  so  hence,  desirous  of 
reconstructing  the  civilization  of  this  year  of 
grace  1921.  Let  me  read  to  you  Mr.  Wells's  re- 
sponse to  this  request  for  counsel. 

"Difficult  to  make  suggestions.  Probably 
commonplace  things  with  their  current  prices 
will  be  of  as  much  value  as  anything.  Safety 
razor,  cotton  reel,  bottle  of  pickles,  and  that 
sort  of  thing.  Schoolbred's  catalog,  pre-war 
and  post-war.  Samples  of  patent  medicines  and 
what  they  profess  to  cure.  Dietary  of  ordi- 
nary citizen ;  typewriter,  a  sewing  machine,  and 


so  forth.  Dressing-bag  with  fittings.  Current 
book  on  How  to  Behave.  A  kinema  reel  of 
current  events.  Whitaker's  Almanack  and 
Bradshaw's  Continental  time-tables  (Pre-war 
and  .post- war).  Baedeker's  England.  Town 
maps  and  plans." — >H,  G.  Wells. 

These  are  the  things  which  are  to  constitute 
our  message  to  far-distant  posterity. 

Mr.  Wells,  somewhat  declining  from  the  high 
vision  of  his  "Outline  of  History,"  here  seems 
to  emphasize  the  preoccupation  with  material 
things  which  some  writers  deplored  before  the 
war  and  which  an  increasing  number  have  de- 
plored since  the  war. 

The  library  has,  rightly,  reflected  this  public 
preoccupation.  Business  branches,  technological 
departments,  have  been  on  the  increase,  and 
there  was  no  demand  'made  in  the  camp  libra- 
ries or  by  ex-service  men  returning  to  their 
home  towns  which  librarians  were  more  de- 
lighted to  satisfy  than  the  demand  for  books  on 
various  trades  or  industries.  A  consciousness 
grew  that  the  demand  for  books  of  the  utilita- 
rian type  was  causing  librarians  to  place  too 


March  18,  1922 


845 


little  emphasis  on  some  other  phases  of  litera- 
ture. For  it  is  the  proud  ambition  of  librarians 
to  make  the  public  library  comprehensive  and 
to  bring  every  part  of  the  book  collection  to 
its  own  degree  of  perfection,  so  that  there 
shall  be  no  subject  of  which  the  library  does 
not  possess  the  history,  the  masterpieces,  and 
the  past  and  present  thought  of  men  concern- 
ing it. 

The  purview  of  history  which  the  library 
gives  must  be  sadly  inadequate  unless  it  em- 
braces religious  thought,  for  religion  is  coex- 
tensive with  the  whole  realm  of  human  expe- 
rience. Thru  its  entire  course,  it  has  preserved 
these  three  aspects,  a  life,  a  creed,  and  a  ritual, 
and  adequate  library  representation  of  the  sub- 
ject must  include  these  three  aspects.  In  an 
earlier  generation,  books  on  religion  were  large- 
ly records  of  personal,  emotional  experience, 
and  while  William  James  has  taught  us  the 
proper  respect  for  these  narratives,  the  field 
has  now  enormously  widened,  and  the  literature 
of  religion  has  attained  a  social  value  which 
could  not  have  been  secured  by  the  merely  per- 
sonal document.  Adds  to  this  development  in 
the  field  of  religious  literature  have  been  the 
study  of  comparative  religion  with  its  various 
adjuncts,  such  as  ethnology  and  mythology, 
and  the  increasingly  absorbing  study  of  the 
psychology  of  religion.  Professor  Pratt  of 
Williams  College,  in  his  recent  book,  "The  Re- 
ligious Consciousness,''  concludes  as  a  result 
of  his  study  that  religion  u  ineradicably 
rooted  in  our  "whole  psycho-physical  organ- 
ism," and  Professor  Watson,  in  his  Gifford 
lectures,  reminds  us  that  "the  history  of  re- 
ligious ideas  cannot  be  treated  as  simply  the 
record  of  different  and  conflicting  views  about 
the  same  or  kindred  topics;  it  must  be  con- 
ceived as  the  ever  fuller  development  of  a 
germ  that  in  its  complete  differentiation  com- 
prehends the  whole  of  life." 

Surely,  viewing  the  need  from  the  standpoint 
of  history,  the  library  cannot  allow  a  collection 
of  religious  books  brought  together  by  any 
other  method  than  that  of  selection  guided  by 
mature  judgment. 

The  associations  of  pastors  and  other  church 
workers,  the  organized  Sunday  Schools  and 
teacher  traiining  institutes,  the  groups  for  the 
study  of  the  Bible,  of  Missions,  of  Church  his- 
tory, should  have  their  needs  considered  by  the 
library.  The  worth  of  the  material  studied  by 
these  groups  has  increased  considerably  during 
the  past  fifteen  or  twenty  years,  and  we  have 
adequate  ground  for  believing  that  the  library 
can  bring  to  the  attention  of  those  who  are  still 
using  books  of  the  older  type,  the  more  vital 
literature  available  at  the  present  time. 

In  these  groups  are  to  be  found  the  men 
and  women  who,  either  now  or  later,  will  be 
influencing  others.  Librarians  have  learned 


that  service  to  teachers  is  of  manifold  value, 
in  that  it  benefits  not  merely  the  individual 
teacher  but  his  pupils  as  well.  A  fair  propor- 
tion of  our  population  listens,  week  by  week, 
to  the  utterances  of  priest,  pastor,  or  rabbi. 
The  richer  the  intellectual  and  spiritual  life  of 
these  men,  the  more  effective  leadership  will 
they  be  able  to  exercise.  Oftentimes  the  only 
reading  of  the  minister  in  the  small  town  is  a 
denominational  journal,  and  because  of  inade- 
quate salary  and  lack  of  broadening  oppor- 
tunities, he  is  peculiarly  dependent  upon  the  li- 
brary. Our  obligation  to  these  ministers  and, 
thru  them,  to  their  congregation  is  plain. 

We  are  accustomed  to  think  of  people  in 
groups,  because  thus  we  find  it  easier  to  ascer- 
tain and  supply  the  books  relating  to  the  sub- 
ject on  which  their  interest  is  focused.  But 
every  individual  has,  or  should  have,  many  in- 
terests. There  is  no  reason  why  the  man  who 
uses  the  business  branch  or  the  technological 
department  should  concentrate  on  employment 
management  or  automobile  manufacture  during 
all  his  waking  hours.  The  stockbroker  may 
revel  in  Amy  Lowell's  polyphonic  prose,  the 
street  car  conductor  may  be  well  versed  in  art 
appreciation,  the  mechanic  may  refresh  his  soul 
with  the  Psalms.  Dr.  Cabot,  in  writing  "What 
Men  Live  By,"  has  named  work,  play,  love  and 
worship  as  the  essentials  of  real  life.  The  li- 
brary serves  men  in  the  realm  of  their  work, 
their  recreation,  their  sense  of  romance.  Shall 
it  not  serve  them,  too,  in  the  broadening  of 
their  spiritual  vision,  the  relating  of  their 
everyday  tasks  to  the  eternal  things, — inherent 
elements  of  worship? 
Emily  Dickinson  phrases  it  for  us  thus : — 

He  ate  and  drank  the  precious  words. 

His  spirit  grew  robust; 

He  knew  no  more  that  he  was  poor, 

Nor  that  has  frame  was  dust. 

He  danced  along  the  dingy  days, 

And  this  bequest  of  wings 

Was  but  a  book.     What  liberty 

A  loosened  spirit  brings ! 

Promotion  for  the  Churches 

IN  the  second  year  the  task  of  the  Religious 
Book  Week  Committee  has  been  greatly 
lightened  'by  the  fact  that  the  churches  have 
understood  more  exactly  what  was  being  ac- 
complished and  the  fundamental  advantage  of 
connecting  the  reading  of  religious  books  with 
the  church  life.  From  all  directions  there 
come  reports  of  churches  taking  up  the  sub- 
ject and  bringing  the  problem  of  good  reading 
directly  to  the  congregations.  Most  of  the 
large  religious  denominations  are  sending  out 
thousands  of  copies  of  a  pamphlet  explaining 
the  meaning  of  Religious  Book  Week,  about 
forty  thousand  of  these  having  gone  out  alto- 
gether besides  the  thousands  of  posters.

Meeting  the  Demand  for  Religious  Books 

By  D.  K.  Medcalf, 

Scrantom's,  Inc.,  Rochester 


THERE  is  no  special  formula  or  recipe 
for  selling  religious  books.  General  rules 
apply  to  this  class  of  literature  as  to  any 
other  with,  however,  more  thought  and  care 
in  the  selection  of  the  right  kind  of  sales 
people  for  assignment  to  a  religious  book 
department. 

The  Fluffy-Ruffles  can  sell  effectually  with- 
out undue  strain  upon  a  meagre  mentality, 
the  bulk  of  our  present  day  novels,  but  the 
man  or  woman  who  is  called  upon  to  sell 
theology  to  thinking  people,  either  clergy  or 
laity,  must  know  books,  for  the  creed  of  one 
as  heresjy  to  another,  and  the  militant  church- 
man doesn't  easily  forgive  or  forget. 

Next  in  importance  to  having  the  right  peo- 
ple for  this  particular  work  is  the  selection 
and  maintenance  of  an  adequate,  tho  by  no 
means  excessive,  stock  of  books  and  other 
church  and  Sunday  school  supplies.  We  do 
not  pretend  to  carry  a  large  general  stock 
of  reference  theology,  as  we  have  found  that 
our  customers  do  not  expect  to  find  the  heav- 
ier .volumes  in  stock  and  are  perfectly  will- 
ing to  order  these  from  a  catalog. 

Our  religious  stock  is  divided  into  the  fol- 
lowing classifications  and  of  each  we  have, 
perhaps,  an  average  of  twenty-five  titles : 

Mission  Study, 

Church  History, 

Sermons, 

Homolitics, 

Immortality, 

Biography, 

Devotional  Books, 

Religious  Essays, 

Expositor's  Bibles, 

Hymn  Books, 

BMes  and  Prayer  Books,  stocked  in  larger 
quantities  than  other  titles. 

While  we  have  among  our  good  book  cus- 
tomers a  number  of  ministers,  we  are  afraid 
it  would  not  be  possible  for  us  to  conduct  a 
separate  Religious  Department  if  we  were  to 
rely  upon  the  clergy  for  the  bulk  of  our  busi- 
ness. Altho  the  latter  are  usually  anxious  to 
increase  their  libraries,  there  are  com- 
paratively few  who  are  able  to  indulge  them- 
selves in  what  would  be  in  their  circum- 
stances, the  luxury  of  buying  books. 

Our  appeal  is  made  to  church  leaders,  Sun- 
day school  superintendents  and  those  of  the 
laity  who  are  enthusiastic  church  workers.  As 
we  have  for  many  years  supplied  (at  a  very 


nominal  profit)  the  majority  of  the  local 
churches  and  Sunday  schools  with  supplies, 
we  have,  in  this  way  established  a  contact  which 
brings  to  us  the  various  classes  of  people  who 
are  interested  in  more  serious  literature.  This 
one  fact,  we  believe,  has  contributed  more  to 
the  development  of  our  religious  book  depart- 
ment than  anything  else. 

It  is  our  custom  to  circularize  religious 
books  and  materials  specifically  about  four 
times  a  year,  when  we  send  to  a  large  num- 
ber of  both  clergy  and  laity,  catalogs  or  lists 
supplied  by  the  larger  publishers  with  our  im- 
print. We  quite  frequently  send  out  folders 
and  letters  to  a  selected  list  in  an  endeavor 
to  get  business  on  some  particular  book  or 
item  for  the  Sunday  school. 

During  the  past  few  years,  a  certain  few 
ministers  have  undertaken  to  review  from 
their  pulpits  important  new  books,  and  in  some 
instances,  have  used  popular  novels  as  texts 
for  their  sermons.  We  have  found  it,  there- 
fore!, a  pretty  good  plan  to  keep  in  touch 
with  these  clergymen  and  frequently  send  them 
gratis  copies  of  books  which  \vc  feel  would 
be  of  interest  to  them,  and  incidentally,  by 
their  recommendation  create  or  further  the 
demand. 

We  firmly  believe  that  the  book-store  should 
be  conducted  along  lines  which  will  make  of 
it  a  civic  institution — on  a  par  with  the  school 
and  college.  It  must  reflect  the  best  thought 
and  highest  ideals  of  the  community  it  serves 
and  it  will  then  'become  a  headquarters  for 
thinking  people.  To  fail  in  providing  reli- 
gious literature  for  those  who  desire  it,  or 
to  neglect  to  stress  the  importance  of  pro- 
viding children  with  the  better  kind  of  books 
is  profligately  to  deny  two  of  the  greatest  po- 
tential factors  in  the  development  of  a  healthy 
book-trade. 

Easter  Greetings 

THE  Year-Round  Bookselling  Committee 
has  prepared  a  most  attractive  band  for 
Easter  giving  printed  in  deep  purple  with  the 
words  "Easter  Greetings"  in  white  lettering. 
There  was  so  much  demand  from  the  retailers 
for  the  Valentine  band  that  this  new  one  has 
been  prepared.  They  are  sold  to  booksellers  at 
cost  of  production  and  will  serve  the  double 
purpose  of  increasing  the  interest  in  the  dis- 
plays, both  in  the  window  and  on  the  counter 
and  will  clinch  a  great  many  sales.

A  Lending  Library  in  the  Church 

By  Rev.  Dwight  L.  Bradley 

Congregational  Church,  Webster  Groves,  Missouri 


THERE  is  an  obvious  hiatus  between  the 
thinking  of  the  modern  preacher  and  that 
of  the  average  layman.  It  is  due  largely 
to  the  difference  in  opportunity  for  reading. 
Alert  ministers  are  in  touch  with  the  best  con- 
temporary writing.  Business  men  and  busy 
women  do  not  so  easily  discover  what  is  most 
important  in  the  world  of  books.  A  preacher 
is  given  the  leisure  or  should  insist  upon 
taking  it,  to  select  between  the  primary  and 
secondary  output  of  modern  thinkers.  He  is 
in  a  position  to  suggest  to  those  whose  occupa- 
tions keep  them  engrossed  with  other  matters 
just  what  would  be  most  worth-while  for  them, 
with  their  limited  time,  to  read. 

It  has  been  my  experience  that  the  people 
who  go  to  church  are  anxious  to  be  intelligent 
about  the  life  of  their  times.  Some,  of  course, 
do  not  care.  But  there  is  an  astonishing  intel- 
lectual hunger  among  men  and  women  today, 
and  hungry-minded  people  still,  in  spite  of 
many  a  rebuff,  come  to  our  churches  hoping 
to  find  the  stimulation  and  nourishment  whicn 
they  so  crave.  Here,  then,  is  an  opportunity 
for  the  minister  who  really  wants  to  do  some 
vital  service. 

In  our  church  we  have  established  what  we 
call  a  "Loan  Library."  Upon  a  table  in  the 
church  vestibule  are  placed  each  Sunday  cer- 
tain books  chosen  for  their  timeliness  and 
pertinence.  They  are  taken  from  the  private 
library  of  the  minister.  They  are  selected  with 
a  view  to  presenting  our  people  with  the  best 
current  literature  dealing  with  every  important 
side  of  life.  All  points  of  view  that  are 
actually  constructive,  are  represented.  And  the 
types  vary  from  a  recent  anthology  of  modern 
poetry  to  the  latest  report  of  the  Chemical 
Foundation. 

It  may  be  interesting  to  note  a  partial  list 
of  the  books  which  are  available  to  our  congre- 
gation thru  the  Loan  Library.  "What  and 
Where  Is  God?"  Swain;  "Clerambault,"  Rol- 
land;  "Enslaved,"  Masefield;  "Jesus'  Principles 
of  Living,"  Kent  and  Jenks;  "Can  the  Church 
Survive  in  the  Changing  Order?,"  Fitch; 
"Main  Street,"  Lewis;  "The  Jesus  of  History," 
Glover,  "The  Challenge  of  Saint  Louis,"  Man- 
gold ;  ."The  Education  of  Henry  Adams"  and 
"The  Degradation  of  The  Democratic  Dog- 
ma," Adams ;  "Outline  of  History,"  Wells ; 
"The  Young  Man  from  Jerusalem,"  Ballen- 
tine;  "The  Second  Book  of  Modern  Verse," 


'Prepared    for    the    Religious    Book    Week    Publicity. 


an    Anthology;    "Creative   Chemistry,"    Slos- 
son ;  and  others  of  equally  varied  sort. 

Just  as  I  was  writing  the  last  paragraph,  one 
of  the  truly  intellectual  women  of  this  city,  a 
member  of  the  B'oard  of  Education  and  a 
leader  in  every  progressive  movement  of  re- 
form but  not  a  member  of  our  church,  came 
into  the  office  and  asked  for  "some  more  books 
to  read."  She  left  with  Ballentine's  "Young 
Man  from  Jerusalem,"  Zweig's  marvelous 
biography  of  Remain  Rolland,  and  Robinson's 
"Life  of  Paul."  Earlier  in  the  morning  a  fel- 
low minister,  retired,  came  to  get  the  late  Pro- 
fessor Genung's  masterful  and  poetic  study 
of  the  Bible,  "The  Life  Indeed."  Thus  not 
only  on  Sunday  do  people  come  to  the  church 
to  find  something  to  satisfy  their  deeper  crav- 
ings. 

Whenever  some  new  book  like  the  most  re- 
cent report  from  the  Russell  Sage  Founda- 
tion or  Hutton's  "The  Proposal  of  Jesus" 
comes  from  the  press,  I  read  it  and  transfer 
it  at  once  to  the  Loan  Library.  People  ask, 
"But  don't  you  lose  your  books  by  letting  them 
go  out  like  that?"  Of  course  I  lose  some  of 
them.  But  it  is  worth  the  risk.  Which  is  bet- 
ter, to  take  a  chance  of  saying  goodbye  to  one 
of  my  books  by  getting  it  into  circulation,  or 
to  keep  my  library  intact  by  letting  it  lie  idle 
and  dusty  upon  its  shelves?  Along  with  the 
Loan  Library  there  goes  a  program  of-  pub- 
licity and  suggestion.  I  speak  on  the  books 
which  seem  most  important,  or  which  people 
are  reading  in  greatest  numbers.  When  I 
sive  a  "book  sermon"  I  always  print  a  three 
hundred  word  review  or  analysis  of.  it  in  the 
church  calendar.  Then  I  paste  the  review  into 
the  fly-leaf  of  that  book.  The  persons  who 
take  the  book,  thus,  have  the  preacher's  point 
uf  view,  (for  whatever  it  is  worth)  and  can 
enter  the  first  pages  with  a  general  preparation 
of  mind.  In  the  case  of  "Main  Street"  it  was 
important  to  have  an  analysis ;  for  to  the  un- 
analytic  mind  the  novel  appeared  either  a 
grotesque  caricature  of  American  life  or  a 
complete  picture  of  social  conditions.  The 
same  value  is  found  in  careful  analysis  of  Rol- 
land's  poignant  "Clerambault." 

I  can  think  of  nothing  more  important  than 
for  the  preacher  to  use  every  available  means 
to  bridge  the  gap  between  his  own  thinking 
and  that  of  the  people  in  the  congregation. 
And  the  Loan  Library  is  one  potent  means.  It 
is  a  bridge  of  bread  span. 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 

A  New  Impulse  to  Religious  Reading 

THE  Religious  Book  Week  Committee  has  gathered   from  many   prominent   leaders   an 
expression  of  opinion  as  to  the  importance  of  wider  religious  reading.  These  articles 
have  been  sent  out  over  the  country  to  the  religious  press  and  daily  papers  and  give 
a  valuable  indication  of  the  real  meaning  of  the    movement.     A    few   typical    papers    are 
reprinted  here  by  permission  of  the  Committee. 


I 
A  Man  and  His  Reading 

By  Harry  Emerson  Fosdick,  Author  of 

"The  Meaning  of  Prayer,"  etc. 
O  OMETHING  very  significant  has  happened 
*J  to  a  man  when  he  realizes  that  in  books 
the  greatest  souls  of  the  world  will  come  to 
call  on  him  as  tho  there  were  no  one  else  on 
earth  whom  they  had  to  call  upon. 

"What  do  you  read,  my  lord?''  said  Polon- 
ius,  and  Hamlet  answered,  "Words,  words, 
words."  Many  a  modern  vicitiim  of  the  inven- 
tion of  printing  might  say  the  same.  With  all 
the  readiing  that  is  done,  how  few  people  know 
the  experience  which  made  Mrs.  Browning  say, 
''No  man  can  be  called  friendless  who  has  God 
and  the  companionship  of  good  books." 

Some  books  are  our  servants.  They  run 
errands  for  us.  They  are  mental  drudges. 
They  bring  us  information;  they  tell  us  news; 
they  keep  us  up-to-date;  they  equip  us  for  our 
trade.  But  the  great  'books  are  not  our  slaves ; 
they  are  our  masters;  we  sit  at  their  feet 
to  learn.  "Look."  they  say,  and,  looking  we 
catch  new  visions  of  life's  significance.  "Con- 
sider," they  say,  and  considering,  we  ore  cap- 
tured by  a  new  truth  and  our  spiritual  power 
is  multiplied.  A  man's  life  is  made  by  the 
hours  when  great  ideas  lay  hold  upon  him  and 
except  by  way  of  living  persons  there  is  no 
channel  down  which  great  ideas  come  oftener 
into  human  lives  than  by  way  of  books.  Said 
Charles  Kingsley,  "Save  a  living  man,  noth- 
ing is  so  wonderful  as  a  book." 

Many  people  shrink  with  a  kind  of  modest 
reticence  from  claiming  the  greatest  'books  as 
their  own.  They  think  that  the  great  books 
are  for  scholars  and  specialists,  not  for  plain 
people.  Upon  the  contrary,  the  specialist  has 
his  library  of  learned  messengers  to  run 
errands  for  him  and  for  him  alone,  the  engi- 
neer his  books  on  engineering,  the  economist 
his  books  on  economics,  but  the  great  books 
are  for  us  all.  They  spring,  not  out  of  spe- 
cialties, but  out  of  the  depths  of  the  human 
heart.  When  Macbeth  sins  and  his  conscience 
faces  remorse  like  a  tide  returning  to  a  shore 
we  all  know  what  that  means  and  whenever 
a  great  creative  book  strikes  a  deep  note  it  is 
sure  to  be  dealing  with  an  elemental  experi- 
ence which  is  shared  by  us  all.  A  significant 
day  dawns  in  a  man's  life  when  he  says  to 
himself,  "The  supreme  books  of  the  world 
belong  to  me." 


Most  of  the  books  we  read  are  like  the  rain 
water  that  fell  last  night.  It  is  a  superficial 
matter  and  it  soon  runs  off.  But  the  literature 
of  creative  spiritual  power  is  a  whole  sea — the 
accumulated  spiritual  gains  of  the  ages — and  to 
know  it  and  to  love  it,  to  go  down  beside  it 
and  dip  into  it,  to  feel  its  vast  expanse,  the 
currents  that  run  thru  it  and  the  tides  that 
lift  it,  are  among  the  choicest  and  most  reward- 
ing privileges  that  man  can  enjoy. 

II 
Devotional  Reading 

By   Raymond.   Calkins,   Author   of   "Christian 
Idea  in  the  Modern  World" 

A  SERIOUS  problem  confronting  the  teach- 
*»  ing  ministry  is  how  to  furnish  constructive 
religious  information  to  one's  congregation.  It 
is  without  doubt  true  that  the  religious  think- 
ing of  many  people  who  go  to  church  more 
or  less  regularly  is  unformed,  and  lacking  in 
foundation  and  consistency.  This  they  freely 
admit.  Their  older  views  of  Christian  truth 
have  gone,  but  new  ones  have  not  replaced 
them.  They  are  not  willing  to  dismiss  the 
Christian  teaching,  indeed  they  continue  to  be- 
lieve it.  Yet  they  do  not  possess  solid  reasons 
for  believing  it  which  they  are  able  to  formu- 
late for  themselves,  and  much  less  for  others. 
They  are  looking  around  for  religious  literature 
which  shall  aid  them  to  do  just  this  thing.  A 
book  to  help  them  must  be  fairly  brief ;  it  must 
be  readable ;  it  must  go  to  the  point ;  it  must  be 
constructive  and  convincing.  The  hunger  for 
such  reading  among  the  rank  and  file  of  people 
in  the  pews  of  our  churches  is  considerable.  If 
the  right  tneans  of  calling  really  helpful  books 
to  their  attention  could  be  found  and  utilized, 
such  reading  would  become  general,  and  would 
have  the  most  beneficial  results. 

The  publication  boards  should  co-operate  by 
preparing  and  mailing  to  parish  ministers  care- 
fully prepared  lists  of  such  reading  material. 
A  recent  search  among  bookstores  revealed  that 
even  the  best  known  book  dealers  had  no  such 
lists.  They  had  the  lists  of  different  publish- 
ers, but  no  compendium  of  such  literature.  The 
average  parish  minister  is  too  busy  to  prepare 
such  a  list  for  himself.  Moreover,  he  lacks  the 
necessary  apparatus.  The  educational  boards, 
however,  could  render  this  effective  service. 
Only  books  that  have  been  carefully  tested  and 
chosen  would  have  a  place,  and  these  would  t>e

arranged  topically  so  that  the  reader  would  be 
guided  in  his  selection. 

The  printing  of  the  titles  of  such  books  on 
church  calendars  and  an  indication  of  where 
they  could  be  conveniently  secured,  would 
doubtless  uncover  a  wiide  demand  for  them.  The 
mention  of  such  books  in  sermons  rarely  fails 
to  bring  a  response  or  request  for  them.  Pub- 
lic libraries  will  be  glad  to  co-operate  so  long 
as  the  religious  teaching  is  in  no  sense  sec- 
tarian. No  form  of  religious  education  so  much 
needed  in  these  days  is  more  immediately  prac- 
ticable than  this.

Religious  Literature  for  a  Secular  Age 
By    Dr.    Maurice    H.    Harris,    Temple    Israel 

WE  live  in  a  secular  age.  People  do  not 
read  the  Bible,  Commentaries,  the  "Imi- 
tatio,"  the  devotional  and  sacred  literature  that 
comprised  so  much  of  the  reading  of  the  faith- 
ful of  two  generations  ago. 

Yet  the  religious  forms  a  not  unimportant 
part  of  modern  secular  literature.  We  meet 
its  problems  in  a  new  context  even  in  what, 
from  a  conservative  standpoint,  might  rashly 
be  called  the  irreligious.  We  meet  it  in  the 
"Undying  Fires"  of  H.  G.  Wells ;  in  "Back 
to  Methuselah"  of  Shaw ;  in  President  Emeri- 
tus Eliot's  "Twentieth  Century  Religion" ;  in 
the  idealism  of  Henri  Bergson  and  also  in  the 
attempt  of  the  hour  to  harmonize  the  con- 
clusions of  evolution  with  fundamental  beliefs 
in  classic  faiths.  We  note  in  all  of  .these  mod- 
em books  a  dissatisfaction  with  materialism, 
with  utilitarianism,  and  with  mechanical  the- 
ories of  the  universe.  They  have  been  tried 
and  they  have  .been  found  wanting,  and  the 
modern,  even  tho  he  may  call  himself  an  ag- 
nostic, is  groping  for  something  better.  We 
note  this  particularly  since  the  war  that  under- 
mined the  faith  of  some  and  deepened  the  faith 
of  others.  We  see  it  in  the  momentary  revival 
of  spiritualism — a  desire  to  reach  out  into  the 
unknown  beyond. 

In  this  state  of  disturbed  emotions,  in  a 
demoralizing  tendency — the  war's  aftermath — 
we  see  the  vital  importance  of  religious  lead- 
ers directing  the  reading  of  the  age  into  the 
right  channels  in  a  way  to  stimulate  the  noblest 
aspirations.  We  must  seize  this  hour  to  pre- 
sent the  perennial  spiritual  truths  in  the  inspired 
writings  of  the  past,  but  thru  the  medium  of 
modern  thought.  Modern  religious  literature 
must  take  into  account  the  science  and  philos- 
ophy of  to-day  if  it  is  to  be  read  by  the  very 
sophisticated  generation  growing  up  in  our 
homes  and  passing  thru  our  colleges. 

It  calls  for  the  ripest  judgment,  the  most 
reverent  handling  and  the  mastery  of  new  con- 
ditions to  present  convincingly  those  eternal 
verities  that  ever  have  been  and  ever  will  be 
the  saving  of  the  human  race. 


IV 
Books  to  Help,  Give  Cheerful  Beliefs 

By  Charles  W.  Eliot,  President  Emeritus, 

Harvard   College 
"  A  BOUT   thirty   years    ago   in   an   address 

*»first  delivered  at  Phillips  Academy, 
Exeter,  I  spoke  as  follows:  'We  may  be  sure 
that  cheerful  beliefs  about  the  unseen  world, 
framed  in  full  harmony  with  the  beauty  of  the 
visable  universe  and  with  the  sweetness  of  the 
domestic  affections  and  joys,  and  held  in  com- 
pany with  kindred  and  friends,  will  iluminate 
the  dark  places  on  the  pathway  of  earthly  life, 
and  'brighten  all  the  road.'  Now,  as  we  draw 
toward  the  end  of  the  long  period  of  intense 
human  suffering  which  the  Great  War  opened, 
it  seems  to  me  that  such  illumination  is  much 
needed,  and  that  book  publishers  can  do  much 
to  increase  and  diffuse  it. 

"I  am  particularly  glad  to  hear  that  the  secu- 
lar book  publishers  are  joining  again  this 
spring  with  the  religious  book  publishers  in  a 
Religious  Book  Week  /'n  which  special  em- 
phasis will  be  placed  or  the  value  of  religious 
books  for  the  enrichment  and  education  of  chil- 
dren and  adults. 

"Is  it  rash  to  hope  that* book  publishers  will 
give  preference  hereafter  to  religious  publica- 
tions from  which  both  children  and  adults  can 
imbibe  cheerful  and  hopeful  beliefs  about  God 
and  man  in  the  world  that  now  is?"

Don't  Pickle  Your  Books 

By  Russell  H.  Conwell,  Author  of  "An  Acre 
of  Diamonds" 

DON'T  pickle  your  books.  Cucumbers-  may 
be  put  in  a  firkin  and  stored  in  the  dark 
back  cellar.  But  books  are  for  constant  use, 
and  should  be  in  sight  and  within  reach.  Or- 
namental books  are  often  blocks  of  wood.  They 
are  just  as  good  and  better,  if  books  are  sought 
as  ornaments.  There  are  ornamental  hired 
men,  but  books  must  work. 

They  should  be  old  friends  and  welcomed  to 
the  easiest  seat  next  the  fire.  The  home  maker 
should  be  familiar  enough  with  the  books  to 
shake  hands  with  them,  kiss  them,  and  wipe 
the  dust  from  their  faces.  A  book  is  a  well  or 
spring,  you  drank  from  yesterday,  your  visi- 
tors drink  today,  and  there  is  no  less  water  for 
to-morrow.  Books  cheer  up  a  home  always, 
sometimes  brilliantly. 

After  the  Bible,  the  need  of  selection  is  ap- 
parent :  for  the  fertility  of  the  farm,  the  profits 
of  the  store,  the  cost  and  taste  of  the  meals, 
the  attendance  at  church,  the  cut  of  the  clothes, 
the  conversation  and  music,  the  friendship  and 
love,  and  the  good  deeds  will  be  the  harvest 
of  good  books  sown  about  the  living  rooms.

Religious  Book  Week 

By  WilKam  Chalmers  Covert,  Author  of  "New 
Furrows  is  Old  Fields,"  etc. 

I  am  one  who  is  profoundly  grateful  that  Re- 
ligious Book  Week  has  been  put  on  the  cal- 
endar of  many  churches.  It  is  pleasing  to  know 
that  it  has  taken  on  the  significance  of  a  ritual- 
istic observance  for  many  thoughtful  individ- 
uals. 

If  we  cannot  find  authors  who  combine  a 
compelling  style  with  a  great  religious  message, 
and  publishers  who  combine  the  genius  of  book 
making  and  salesmanship  with  a  real  moral  pas- 
sion, and  clergymen  who  combine  an  honest  ad- 
miration for  what  other  men  have  written  with 
a  masterful  purpose  of  arousing  the  reading 
enthusiasm  in  others — then  the  greatest  agency 
now  at  the  disposal  of  the  Kingdom  of  God 
for  reaching  the  hearts  and  minds  of  millions 
is  to  be  blocked  at  the  gateway  of  limitless 
usefulness  and  power/! 

The  responsibility  for  giving  wider  power  to 
printed  religious  truth  must  in  quite  large  de- 
gree rest  jointly  on  this  impressive  trio.  Or 
perhaps  it  would  be  best  said  that  any  success- 
ful program  for  the  development  of  nation- 
wide interest  in  religious  reading  must  involve 
the  sharing  by  these  three  factors  in  the  equa- 
tion of  a  common  -vision  of  what  ought  to  be 
an  intelligent  and  comprehensive  plan  of  co- 
operation in  the  realization  of  it.  This  working 
together  means  success  to  a  very  large  extent. 
Perhaps  the  least  aware  of  the  three  factors 
conditioning  success  of  Religious  Book  Week  is 
the  clergyman.  He  comes  slowly  to  realize  the 
priceless  value  to  his  great  work  of  a  religious 
book  well  read  by  men,  women  and  children 
of  the  congregation. 

Now  and  then,  more  often  now,  when  he 
watches  a  reading  enthusiasm  sweep  thru  his 
parish  like  a  tidal  wave  after  O'Brien  writes 
a  book  about  the  South  Seas,  or  Sinclair  Lewis 
elaborates  the  doings  of  "Main  Street,"  he  says 
"Gold  help  me,  Pll  study  to  capture  that  won- 
derful soul-stirring,  heart-warming  reading 
spirit  for  a  great  religious  message,  and  float 
thru  these  same  fine  channels  of  parish  life 
and  power,  a  book  that  will  set  my  congrega- 
tion into  a  fine  spiritual  frenzy.  I'll  strive  to 
find  a  way  to  get  this  community  momentum 
behind  some  wholesome  inspiring  religious 
chronicle,  discussion,  biography  or  a  story  and 
make  it  thus  the  theme  of  a  parish  sermon  or 
the  topic  of  household  conversation  and  in  every 
way  a  definite  contribution  to  the  higher  life 
of  the  congregation." 


Dominie  Turned  Bookseller 

D  EV.  George  Duncan,  a  Scottish  Doctor  of 
*^  Divinity  and  a  well-known  lecturer  in 
Scotland  and  England,  hale  and  hearty  at  the 
age  of  seventy  and  a  bit,  is  an  assistant  in 
Foyle's  second-hand  bookshop  in  Charing 
Cross  Road.  In  an  interview  about  his  new 
work,  Doctor  Duncan  said  to  the  Dundee 
Courier : 

"My  duties  here  at  Foyle's  as  theologian 
tutor  are  to  help  ministers  and  students  to 
deliver  their  discourses  by  selecting  the  suit- 
able volumes,  and  give  them  any  advice  that 
may  be  necessary.  In  this  respect  I  am  kept 
going  from  the  time  of  my  arrival,  which  is 
seven-thirty  in  the  morning,  until  three-thirty 
in  the  afternoon,  without  a  break,  and  thou- 
sands of  books  pass  thru  my  hands  weekly. 
The  li'brary  I  have  at  home  is  a  splendid  col- 
lection, and  so  classified  that  I  am  able  to 
select  any  book  in  the  dark. 

"As  to  my  future  activities,"  concluded  the 
Doctor,  "I  am  at  liberty,  so  far  as  the  firm  is 
concerned,  to  go  to  any  part  of  the  country  to 
resume  my  lectures,  altho  I  am  very  satisfied 
with  my  present  occupation,  and  I  think,  I 
should  feel  inclined  to  refuse  the  pastorate 
orf  a  church  if  it  were  offered  me." 

Summer  Business  Course 

AN  opportunity  for  business  men  to  make 
an  intensive  study  of  business  principles 
is  presented  by  the  announcement  of  a  new 
feature  in  the  Chautauqua  summer  school.  A 
series  of  ten  lectures  will  be  given  by  H.  C. 
Baldwin  of  the  Babson  Statistical  Organization, 
these  lectures  coming  twice  daily  from  July 
i7th-28th  and  repeated  from  July  3ist-August 
10th.  Sales  and  advertising,  accounting,  in- 
dustrial and  labor  problems  will  be  presented. 
The  fact  that  Chatauqua  also  has  a  course  in 
library  training  suggests  the  possibility  that 
some  day  it  might  be  persuaded  to  plan  a  good 
course  on  bookselling  which  many  would  find 
opportunity  to  attend. 

New  Guide  Books 

JUST  IN  TIME,  it  is  hoped,  for  the  Washing- 
ton convention,  Henry  Holt  &  Co.,  are  to 
publish  Rider's  "Guide  Book  to  Washington," 
which  will  be  followed  later  by  one  on  Ber- 
muda and  still  later  by  a  California  guide. 
Rider's  "New  York  Guide  Book"  was  pub- 
lished some  years  ago  and  there  has  been  much 
trade  interest  in  the  continuation  of  this  series. 
Fremont  Rider,  the  author  and  compiler,  is 
well  known  to  the  book-trade,  as  for  many 
years  he  was  managing  editor  of  the  PUB- 
LISHERS' WEEKLY.

Book  on  The  Far  East 

IN  connection  with  the  very  natural  increase 
in  the  demand  for  books  on  the  Far  East  the 
book-trade  will  find  of  real  value  a  new  series  of 
booklists  just  published  by  the  Public  Library 
of  Newark.  This  library  had  already  issued 
several  reading  lists  of  a  page  each  covering 
many  aspects  of  the  Far  Eastern  situation,  and 
to  these  they  have  now  added  twenty-seven 
others,  part  of  which  are  revisions  of  the  first 
group.  Among  these  new  lists  are  such  topics 
as  the  following: 

Tibet,   Travel  and  Exploration,   2  parts. 

Travel  in  Japan,  revised. 

Japan's  Foreign  Relations.

Does  It  Pay? 

«KTO  matter  how  clever  may  be  his  copy, 
*'^l  how  'beautiful  his  displays,  how  great  the 
approval  of  his  contemporaries,  or  loud  the 
praise  of  his  sales  organization,  sooner  or  later 
the  advertising  manager  must  meet  the  supreme 
test — Does  it  pay? 

"Capital  has  started  out  to  understand  what 
this  thing  called  Advertising  is — what  it  does, 
how  it  does  it,  and  what  it  can  be  expected 
to  do. 

"Capital  is  sold  on  advertising — but  it  is  not 
yet  sold  on  the  idea  that  the  advertising  men 
have  any  control  of  its  power. 

"Distribution  should  cease  to  be  burdened 
with  those  wastes  which  have  too  long  con- 
tinued because  some  managers  maintain  that 
nothing  done  in  the  name  of  sales  and  adver- 
tising could  be  bad  per  se,  because  you  could 
not  be  sure  about  what  it  should  have  been ! 

"When  advertising  refuses  to  meet  the  test 
of  returns,  it  simply  refuses  the  businesslike 
demand  of  the  job-— a  condition  of  business."

of  National  Advertisers  Convention — reprinted

27th  Annual  Report  of  the  Booksellers'  League 


THE  New  York  Booksellers'  League 
rounded  out  its  twenty-seventh  year  on 
March  I5th  when  the  annual  report  was 
presented  at  the  monthly  dinner.  The  guest 
of  honor  was  Judge  Charles  L.  Guy,  of  the 
Supreme  Court  of  the  State  of  New  York, 
who  delivered  a  charming  address  on  idealism 
in  American  life  and  the  influence  of  books 
in  its  development.  Robert  E.  Sherwood,  the 
far-famed  actor-bookseller,  who  writes  of  the 
silent  drama  weekly  in  Life  told  the  story 


of  the  film  in  a  most  interesting  talk,  with 
side  lights  on  some  of  the  star  actresses.  He 
announced  his  intention  of  starting  bookstalls 
in  the  lobbies  of  the  film  theaters  and  hopes 
to  have  three  of  them  installed  in  New  York 
during  the  spring  season. 

During  the  evening  David  J.  O'Connell,  a 
popular  statesman  of  Brooklyn,  was  elected 
president  of  the  League  for  the  coming  year, 
and  siix  members  of  the  present  Board  of 
Managers  were  re-elected  for  another  term. 


Annual  Report 


In  presenting  the  27th  Annual  Report  of  the 
Board  of  Managers  of  the  Booksellers'  League, 
it  is  desired  not  only  to  give  a  sum- 
mary of  the  activities  of  the  past  year,  but 
also  to  bring  to  the  attention  of  every  man 
engaged  in  the  book  business,  the  fact  that  the 
Booksellers'  League  has  been  a  factor  in  bring- 
ing about  a  betterment  of  trade  conditions. 
In  the  report  of  last  year,  it  was  said  in  part : 

"For  twenty-six  years  the  Booksellers' 
League  has  been  the  representative  organi- 
zation of  the  wholesale  and  retail  book- 
trade  in  New  York  City  and  vicinity. 

"This  organization  has  been  the  means 
of  creating  a  wider  acquaintance  among 
those  engaged  in  the  book  business  and 
thru  its  monthly  dinners,  has  brought  to- 
gether during  these  years  men  of  the  trade 
who  would  probably  never  have  become 
acquainted  in  any  other  way. 

"The  kind  of  entertainment  provided  at 
the  dinners  and  other  meetings  of  the 
League  has  made  for  the  betterment  of  the 
profession,  by  creating  not  only  a  spirit  of 
fraternalism  among  its  members,  but  a  feel- 
ing of  pride  in  the  calling  and  a  spirit  of 
loyalty,  as  well  as  an  active  interest  in  all 
the  efforts  as  an  organization  to  better 
trade  conditions." 

We  take  the  liberty  of  quoting  also  from  an 
article  in  the  Bookseller  &  Stationer  by  one  of 
the  best  informed  men  in  the  book-trade, 
Charles  E.  Butler.  It  is  quoted  because  it  cor- 
roborates what  was  claimed  in  our  report. 

"The  Booksellers'  League  owes  its  origin 
to  C.  A.  Burfchardt  of  E.  P.  Dutton  & 
Co.,  who  more  than  25  years  ago  was 
inspired  in  a'dreani,  which  stayed  with  him 
on  awakening.  Others  were  drawn  in — me, 
too — to  help)  carry  out  the  inspiration,  and 
the  result  was  tihe  formation  of  The 
Booksellers'  League,  the  first  one  in  the 
United  States. 

"What  this  has  done  for  the  bookseller 
of  New  York  is  written  in  history  and 
tradition.  It  has  done  wonderful  and  bene- 


ficial work.  It  has  changed  the  whole 
social  and  trading  condition,  from  a  stud- 
ied aloofness  of  early  days,  to  a  warm 
and  lasting  comradeship  of  the  present  day. 
This  has  resulted  in  trade  betterment  and 
closer  relations  between  all  in  the  New 
York  trade,  elimination  of  petty  trade 
jealousies  and  useless  and  unfair  competi- 
tion. Its  monthly  dinners,  with  prominent 
speakers,  its  long  educational  campaign  in 
educating  the  booksellers,  is  done  at  a  very 
small  individual  cost." 

These  articles  are  quoted  for  the  enlighten- 
ment of  those  in  the  book-trade  who  have 
failed  to  join  the  Booksellers'  League  because 
they  could  not  see  "what  good  an  organiza- 
tion, otf  this  kind  ever  did."  Mr.  Butler  knows 
of  conditions  before  the  Booksellers'  League 
existed  and  he  appreciates  how  great  an  im- 
provement has  (been  brought  about  by  bringing 
the  men  together  in  such  an  organization. 

Record  of  the  Past  Year 

Mr.  Lacy,  chairman  of  the  Entertainment 
Committee,  finds  it  more  difficult  each  year 
to  secure  the  kind  of  speakers  he  knows  the 
members  are  .most  interested  in.  He  would 
be  very  grateful  for  any  help  or  suggestions 
along  this  line,  tho  the  speakers  of  the  past 
year  ihave  compared  most  favorably  with  those 
of  previous  years. 

Surely  everyone  present  at  the  March  din- 
ner enjoyed  the  uncommonly  fine  lecture  on 
"Dante"  as  the  great  man  of  the  ages,  by 
Dr.  James  J.  Walsh,  of  Fordham  University. 
'Traprock  Night"  at  the  October  dinner  was 
without  doubt  one  of  the  most  enjoy  able  even- 
ings the  members  of  the  League  have  ever 
spent  together.  George  S.  Chappell  as  Dr. 
Walter  E.  Traprock  of  the  "Cruise  of  the 
Kawa,"  proved  to  be  a  delightful  entertainer. 
Mart  King  also  held  his  audience  with  many 
well-told  humorous  stories.  Heywood  Broun 
spoke  on  book  publicity,  and  his  hopes  in 
respect  to  its  more  intensive  development  in  the 
daily  press.

At  the  November  dinner  Professor  John 
Erskine  gave  an  interesting  talk  on  "John 
Milton,  His  Life  and  Times."  At  this  din- 
ner Joseph  Wharton  Ljppincott's  "Talks  About 
Animals,"  illustrated  with  colored  lantern  slides, 
proved  most  enjoyable.  Frederic  G.  Melcher 
delighted  his  audience  by  comparing  several 
oC  the  animals  shown  on  the  screen  to  some 
types  of  booksellers  and  buyers. 

The  speakers  at  the  January  dinner  were 
Shaw  Desmond,  author  of  "Gods,"  "Passion," 
etc.,  and  John  Farrar,  editor  of  the  Bookman. 
Mr.  Desmond  amused  his  audience  by  his  hu- 
morous explanation  of  why  some  books  had 
a  big  salq,  while  other  books,  including  his 
own,  which  he  thought  were  very  much  bet- 
ter, ifailed  to  reach  a  large  public.  Mr. 
Farrar  told  of  some  of  his  plans  as  editor  of 
the  Bookman. 

Ladies'  Night  dinner  and  dance  held  at  the 
Hotel  Brevoort  on  February  isth  was,  as 
usual,  a  very  popular  affair.  Richard  Le  Gal- 
lienne  spoke  on  "The  Human  Side  of  Books." 
Henry  Collins  Brown  showed  pictures  of  old 
New  York  and  gave  an  interesting  and  instruct- 
ive talk  on  them.  Miss  Ida  Bensey  Judd  gave 
readings  from  Moliere. 

Membership 

The  increase  in  memership  during  the  past 
year  has  been  very  encouraging  as  it  shows  a 
desire  to  affiliate  with  the  League  on  the  part 
of  those  who  have  lately  entered  the  book- 
trade.  Fifty-six  new  members  were  elected 
during  the  year.  The  loss  by  resignations  and 
death  was  thirteen,  leaving  a  net  increase  of 
43  ifor  the  year,  with  a  total  membership  of 
.207.  This  is  a  long  way  from  the  desired 
membership  of  four  hundred.  Every  one  is 
urged  to  get  a  new  member  for  the  League 
this  coming  year ;  it  can  be  done  if  all  will 
only  try.

Report  of   School   Committee 

[EDITORIAL  NOTE.— The  Course  in  Book- 
selling, which  was  started  under  the  aus- 
pices of  the  League  on  January  6th,  1921,  and 
conducted  by  Miss  Graham  was  fully  reported 
in  the  last  issue  of  the  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY.] 

The  Employment  Bureau 
During  the  past  year  the  number  of  appli- 
cants for  positions  open  far  exceeded  the  call 
for  helpers.  While  there  were  forty-seven 
who  enrolled  for  work,  only  twelve  were 
placed.  In  this  period  of  general  business  re- 
adjustment "ifew  died  and  none  resigned," 
making  it  therefore  a  very  lean  year  for  those 
seeking  employment.  The  registration  fee  of 
one  dollar  was  invested  in  further  publicity 
for  the  applicant  by  the  insertion  of  a  classi- 
fied advertisement  in  the  PUBLISHER'  WEEKLY. 
J.  A,  HOLDEN,  Manager. 

The  Board  wishes  to  thank  those  who  re- 
sponded so  cheerfully  and  successfully  to  its 
appeal  for  new  members ;  56  new  members 
was  very  good  work,  but  yet  there  is  room, 
still  there  are  many  waiting  to  be  asked.  Do 
not  wait  until  we  start  a  school  on  "How 
to  Secure  New  Members."  Be  a  real  sales- 
man, sell  the  desire  to  become  a  member  of 
The  Booksellers'  League  to  your  friends  in 
the  trade.  Do  it  now.  Boost  the  member- 
ship to  400. 

The  Board  extends  its  thanks  to  tfie  PUB- 
USHERS'  WEEKLY,  also  the  Bookseller  and 
Stationer  for  the  publicity  given  the  affairs 
of  the  League  thru  their  columns.

Women  Booksellers'  Fifth  Annual  Banquet 


ONE  of  the  largest  and  most  successful  gath- 
erings that  the  book-trade  has  had  in  many 
years  took  place  at  the  Hotel  McAlpin  on  the 
evening  of  March  pth,  the  fifth  annual  banquet 
of  the  Women's  National  Book  Association.  In 
five  years  this  association  has  steadily  increased 
in  activity  and  membership,  and  its  commit- 
tees have  always  been  able  to  plan  an  annual 
banquet  that  would  'be  one  of  the  features  of 
the  ibook-trade's  year. 

Nearly  three  hundred  sat  down  to  the  din- 
ner. At  the  head  table  Belle  M.  Walker, 
President  of  the  Association  and  editor  and 
publisher  of  the  Bookseller  and  Stationer,  pre- 
sided. Among  the  speakers  were  Alice  Duer 
Miller  and  Hugh  Lofting.  A  message  from 
E.  Phillips  Oppenheim  came  by  radiophone 
from  his  steamer  which  had  started  for  Europe. 
This  feature,  permitting  him  to  send  a  mes- 
sage direct  to  the  booksellers  was  arranged 
for  by  special  permission  of  the  Government's 
Board  of  Control  of  Radio. 

"I  am  asked  to  send  you  a  farewell  message 
— a  brief  record  of  impressions  collected  dur- 
ing my  too  brief  stay  in  your  country.  And 
because  it  is  you — the  women  of  the  National 
Book  Association,  who  asked  me,  I  am  doing 
my  best  an  these  last  few  minutes  of  hurry  to 
comply,  for  the  world  in  general  owes  a  debt 
to  you  who  interest  yourselves  in  the  distribu- 
tion of  books — the  world  in  general  and  the  au- 
thor in  particular. 

*'I  find,  dr  seem  to  find,  the  little  corner  of 
America  which  I  have  visited  changed.  Whilst 
France  lies  exhausted  after  her  years  of  agony 
and  shows  signs  of  the  faint  querulousness  of 
the  invalid  on  the  way  to  convalescence ;  whilst 
England  lies  manacled  by  the  iron  grip  of  in- 
ordinate taxation,  depressed  and  with  all  the 
spontaneity  of  living  being  slowly  crushed  out 
of  her  by  impossible  burdens,  you  aJone  of  the 
nations  seem  to  be  walking  with  firm  footsteps 
in  the  new  world.  Your  period  of  tribulation 
seems  to  the  traveler  to  have  already  passed. 
You  have  gained  a  new  dignity  and  breadth 
of  outlook  with  this  your  great  adventure  in 
the  world  which  so  sorely  needed  your  help. 
I  fancy  that  I  see  signs  of  the  passing  of  that 
spirit  of  somewhat  selfish  introspection,  that 
purely  acquisitive  passion  for  the  rapid  build- 
ing up  of  success  which  ten  years  ago  existed 
as  an  atmosphere  and  was  reflected  from  the 
faces  of  your  citizens.  You  have  gained,  it 
seems  to  me,  in  poise  and  deliberation.  The 
eyes  which  were  fastened  once  upon  the  near 
things  gaze  now  across  the  sea.  Sympathy  is 
born  with  outlook.  The  dramatic  magnanimity 
of  your  statesmen  at  Washington  seems  to 


have  been  conceived  of  this  new  spirit.  A  part- 
ing guest  pays  you  homage  for  it. 

"Prohibition  is,  perhaps,  the  most  striking 
external  change  in  your  country  so  far  as  the 
casual  visitor  is  concerned.  One's  first  impulse 
is  to  find  cause  for  humor  and  even  ribaldry 
in  an  enactment  which  is  openly  and  flagrantly 
broken  by  those  who  have  always  been  law 
abiding  citizens.  But  as  the  days  pass  one 
realizes  there  is  another  side  to  this  matter. 
The  saloons  are  closed.  Several  large  manufac- 
turers with  whom  I  have  talked  assure  me 
definitely  that  their  work  people  are  saving 
more  money  and  that  their  output  is  increasing. 
These  things  make  one  think.  It  is  at  least 
a  law  born  of  the  desire  for  greater  spiritual- 
ity. It  may  have  been  framed  a  little  too  rig- 
idly— it  may  be  capable  of  wholesome  and  rea- 
sonable amendment,  but  it  is  an  experiment 
which  the  whole  world  will  watch  with  inter- 
est. I,  for  one,  do  not  presume  to  judge  it. 

"I  bid  you  au  revoir,  my  friends  in  America, 
and  particularly  you  of  the  Women's  National 
Book  Association.  Yours  is  a  great  work — per- 
haps the  greatest  field  of  endeavor  in  the  world. 
Books  are  part  of  the  life  of  the  thinking  man, 
his  mental  sustenance  as  well  as  his  relaxation.. 
Every  description  of  written  word  has  its  mes- 
sage. Increase  the  sale  of  books  and  you  in- 
crease the  mentality  of  the  race.  So  I  wish 
you  Godspeed  in  your  efforts,  and  when  these 
are  turned  toward  fiction  do  not  forget  your 
friend,  E.  Phillips  Oppenheim." 

Laura  Simmons  wrote  for  the  occasion  the 
following  parody  of  Kipling's  famous  poem. 

IF— 
(Of  Bookselling) 

If  you  can  sell  your  books,  when  all  about  you 

Are  selling  theirs,  and  each  in  different  dope ; 

If  you   can   meet   fool   questions  that   would 

flout  you; 
Yet    keep    your    head  and    reason,    within 

scope; 

If  you  can  stoop — and  not  be  tired  by  stooping — 
For  catalogs,    thrown    down    in  aisles    and 

stairs — 

Can  fit  each)  author  to  his  price  and  publisher; 
(And  yet  don't    talk  too    glib    about   your 
wares)  ; 

If  you  can  root  for  Harold  Bell  and  Gene, 
And  treat  both  those  disasters  just  the  same; 

Find  calories  for  females  stout  and  lean — 
In   short,    Omniscience    be    your    Christian 
name; 


856 


And  is  Tahiti  off  in  China  flowery? 

Jurgen  a  town,  or  cheese?    They've  no  idea! 
One  Hergesheianer  sells  pants  on  the  Bowery ; 
Is  he  die  gent  wrote  this  here  Cytherea? 

If  you  can  blurb — and  not  make  blurbs  your 

master—- 
Of pallid  souls;  starved  lips  and  smouldering 

eyes — 
(As  old  as  Noah  is  their  sally  gesture — 

Methuselah  had  nothing  on  those  guys!) 
Hand  out  a  line  on  Diarists  and  Mirrors — 

The  hot  air  bunk  of  Margot  and  of  Qare ; 
Of  Oppenheim  that  gets  away  wit'  moider ; 
And   feature  Wells's  philosophic  flair; 

If  you  can  make  one  heap  of  mad  sex-sinnings, 
Of    scrambled   loves,   of   vamip   and   injured 
wife — 

And  start  again  with  endings  and  beginnings, 
When  Psycho-analysts  take  joy  from  life; 

If  you  can  bear  to  tell  some  poet — 'hungry — 
His   rhymes  are   duds ;    and  not  a  sale  yet 
made: 

And  being  hated,  never  show  you're  angry, 

But  pile  fresh  romance  for  the  flapper  trade; 

If  you  can  fill  each  irritating  minute 
With  superhuman  wisdom,  nobly  won — 

Your  stock  is  Sold !  and  everything  that's  in  it ! 
And,    which    is    more — you've    boosted    Art, 
my  son. 

Among  other  guests  at  the  head  table  were 
Frederick  A.  Stokes,  Ralph  Wilson,  President 
of  the  New  York  Booksellers'  League,  Alex- 
ander Black,  author  of  "The  Great  Desire"  and 
Dorothy  Speare,  author  of  "Dancers  in  the 
Dark."  After  the  program  had  begun,  Mr. 
Black  was  introduced  as  the  inventor  and  pro- 
moter of  a  new  patent  Sellophone,  and  two 
large  packing  boxes  were  brought  dnto  the 
room.  Apologizing  for  not  taking  time  com- 
pletely to  unpack  the  cabinets,  Mr.  Black  de- 
scribed this  important  invention  and  promised 
to  give  an  example  of  how  authors  could  sell 
their  own  books.  From  megaphones  that  ex- 
tended from  the  top  of  the  boxes  came 
witty  selling  talk  as  delivered  by  Shakespeare, 
Heywood  Broun,  Charlotte  Bronte,  Sappho  and 
Harold  Bell  Wright.  After  the  messages  had 
been  delivered,  the  mechanism  was  explained 
and  the  boxes  proved  to  contain  Ethel  R. 
Peyser,  writer  of  the  text  and  Mr.  Braham, 
who  is  associated  with  David  Belasco.  Dorothy 
Speare,  whose  book  "Dancers  in  the  Dark," 
was  given  out  by  Doran  as  one  of  the  souv- 
enirs, added  to  the  program  by  singing  in  clever 
imitation  of  the  style  of  Galli  Curci  and  Ger- 
aldine  Farrar.  The  guests  took  home  as  other 
souvenirs  a  copy  of  "Prince  Shan"  by  Oppen- 
heim, a  copy  of  "Guest  the  One  Eyed,"  by 
Gunnar  Gunnarsson  from  Knopf,  a  "Splashme 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 

Doll  Book"  from  Stokes,  all  of  which  could 
be  carried  home  in  a  Zane  Grey  bag  supplied 
by  Grosset  &  Dunlap. 

Selecting  the  Best  Slogan 

•"THE  Year-Round  Bookselling  Committee 
*•  has  asked  the  co-operating  dealers  to  give 
their  idea  as  to  what  is  the  best  slogan  to  be 
used  in  the  fall  and  winter  campaign,  selecting 
one  from  those  that  have  been  itried  out  or 
suggesting  a  better  one.  Those  that  have 
found  most  favor  are : 

BUY  A  BOOK  A  WEEK 
FIND  IT  IN  BOOKS  ! 
TAKE  ALONG  A  BOOK 
WHAT  DO  YOU  READ? 
BOOKS  THE  YEAR  ROUND 

Suggestions  of  others  should  be  sent  to  the 
Committee  at  334  Fifth  Avenue. 


NOTICE 

Extra  copies  of  last  week's  issue  of 
the  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY  (March  nth), 
with  its  Index  to  the  new  books  of  the 
Spring  Season,  will  be  supplied  at  a 
nominal  cost  of  15  cents  each.  A  copy 
might  well  be  placed  in  the  hands  of 
every  clerk  on  the  floor. 


Australian  Publishing 

FOR  the  collector  of  authoritative  material 
on  the  war  there  comes  from  Angus  & 
Robertson  of  Sydney,  Australia,  the  first  vol- 
ume of  "The  Official  History  of  Australia  in 
the  War."  The  set  is  to  be  complete  in  twelve 
volumes  and  to  contain  two  thousand  maps  and 
illustrations,  giving  in  great  detail  the  story 
of  all  actions  in  which  Australian  troops  were 
involved.  The  publishers  expect  to  be  three 
or  four  years  in  completing  publication. 

A  Bookshop  on  the  Stage 

DURING  last  season  the  big  show  at  the 
Hippodrome  in  New  York  featured  as 
one  of  its  special  scenes  the  interior  of  a  chil- 
dren's bookshop,  which  gave  a  very  friendly 
boost  to  the  book  idea.  A  bookseller  visiting 
a  vaudeville  performance  in  New  York  in 
February  was  interested  to  find  that  the  scene 
of  the  act  of  Bronson  and  Renee  was  laid  in  a 
bookshop  with  bookshelves  all  around  and 
apparently  with  real  books,  at  least  in  part  of 
the  space.  One  of  the  songs  was  called  "Main 
Street."

FEBRUARY  WINDOW  DISPLAY  OF  A  FOOTBALL   STORY  ARRANGED  BY  GRANT  S   BOOK    SHOP. 


Are  Books  Seasonal  Commodities? 

THE  book-trade  has  been  insisting  that  the 
sale  of  books  need  not  at  all  be  highly  con- 
centrated on  a  few  months,  and  this  insistence 
has  been  gradually  proving  its  way.  Still  fur- 
ther experimenting  on  this  point,  Lambert 
Grant  of  Grant's  Bookshop,  Utica,  has  insisted 
that  it  is  not  necessary  that  certain  types  of 
books  be  sold  only  in  certain  seasons.  To 
make  the  experiment  concrete,  he  insisted  that 
a  good  football  story  could  be  sold  in  February 
just  as  well  or  better  than  in  November,  and 
that,  while  a  November  display  might  do 
nothing  more  than  to  send  the  passerby  around 
the  corner  to  buy  a  ticket  to  the  game,  in  Feb- 
ruary the  same  enthusiasm  could  not  be  thus 
diverted  and  would  bring  the  football  enthusi- 
ast into  the  store  for  a  purchase. 

The  window  display  with  which  Mr.  Grant 
carried  this  thought  out  is  a  model  of  careful 
preparation,  and  the  result  from  a  ten  days'  dis- 
play was  of  very  decided  interest,  the  sales  of 
this  specific  title  running  well  over  fifty  cop- 
ies. The  football  scene  was  constructed  to  vis- 
ualize an  actual  game  between  Harvard  and 
Center  College  as  related  in  the  story  "First 
Down  Kentucky"  by  Ralph  D.  Paine.  Cellu- 
loid dolls  Sl/2  inches  high  were  used,  and  the 
colors  of  the  foot-ball  suits  were  put  on  with 
enamel  paint.  The  players  were  arranged  with 
the  trained  advice  of  a  varsity  half-back,  and 
from  day  to  day  different  special  plays  were 
set  up  and  carefully  posed. 

Mr.  Grant  considers  that  this  experiment  in 
testing  out  off-season  sales  was  well  worth 
trying. 


School  Library  Program 

ABROAD  program  of  library  usefulness  is 
to  be  presented  for  consideration  at  the 
library  department  meetings  of  the  National 
Education  Association  at  its  big  Convention 
in  July  by  Sherman  Williams,  President  of  the 
Section,  and  Chief  of  School  Libraries  divi- 
sion of  New  York  State.  This  program  gives 
a  broad  view  of  the  place  of  the  library  in  the 
community. 

A  Library  Program 

1  The    library   is    an   educational    institution 
made  up  of  various  agencies,  the  two  most  im- 
iportant  being  the  school  library  and  the  public 
library. 

2  The  school  library  should  be  the  heart  and 
center  of  the  school  work. 

3  It  should  be  so  used  as  to  train  pupils  to 
use  a  public  library  intelligently. 

4  Pupils  should  be  so  instructed  as  to  want 
to  read  books  that  are  worth  while. 

5  There  should  be  a  collection  of  books  in 
each  schoolroom  suitable  to  the  age  and  pur- 
poses of  the  pupils. 

6  Teaching  children  to  read  is  of  little  value 
unless  they  are  taught  what  to  read,   and  are 
provided  with  the  right  kind  of  books. 

7  The  public  library  should  serve  as  a  con- 
tinuation  school    for   those   who  have   finished 
their  school  life. 

8  Public    libraries    should    be    supported    by 
public  tax  as  are  the  public  schools. 

9  Librarians   should  be  as   specially   trained 
for  their  work  as  are  teachers  for  theirs. 

10  All    people    should    have    easy    access    to 
libraries.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Bookselling  Course  Closes 

AT  the  final  session  of  the  bookselling 
course,  conducted  by  the  New  York 
Bookseller's  League  at  the  New  York 
Public  Library,  Miss  Graham  awarded  prizes 
for  the  best  answer  to  a  questionnaire  of 
twenty-five  questions  which  had  been  given  out 
at  the  previous  session.  The  first  prize  went 
to  Nannie  B.  Winston  of  Richmond,  Va.,  who 
has  been  in  New  York  studying  bookselling  and 
who  has  in  mind  opening  a  bookstore  in  the 
South.  Her  prize  for  answers  that  were  100 
per  cent  correct  was  a  copy  of  "The  Magnifi- 
cent Farce"  by  A.  Edward  Newton,  in  the 
front  of  which  he  had  written  "Not  to  'buy  a 
book  a  week'  is  as  bad  as  to  wear  a  celluloid 
collar  or  as  to  use  a  gold  toothpick." 

The  second  prize  went  to  Emily  McDevitt, 
of  McDevitt- Wilson's,  Inc.  The  volume  was 
a  first  edition  of  Agnes  Repplier's  "Books  and 
Men"  autographed  for  the  occasion  by  Miss 
Repplier.  As  there  were  ties  for  the  next 
three,  Miss  Graham  presented  three  books, 
autographed  by  Christopher  Morley :  "Parnas- 
sus on  Wheels,"  "The  Haunted  Bookshop"  and 
"Shandygaff."  These  were  won  by  Grace  E. 
Dhu  of  Bamberger's,  Newark,  Muriel  Simpson 
and  Ethel  Frankenstein,  both  of  Abraham  & 
Strauss,  Brooklyn. 

Miss  Graham  in  her  closing  address  ex- 
pressed the  hope  that  this  experiment  might 
be  one  step  toward  the  goal  of  having  a  per- 
manent school  of  bookselling  established,  and 
she  recommended,  that  in  further  experiments, 
there  should  ;be  more  work  required  of  the 
students,  more  discussion  from  the  audience 
than  is  the  present  plan,  and  she  also  expressed 
the  feeling  that  a  library  course  and  one  in 
bookselling  should  be  combined. 

Ernest  Eisele,  of  Brentano's,  talked  on  book- 
selling methods  abroad.  He  pointed  out  that 
in  Europe  the  publisher  feels  much  more 
responsible  for  the  ultimate  distribution  than 
he  does  in  this  country.  The  publisher  in 
Europe  does  not  send  out  salesmen,  but  uses 
announcements  in  the  trade  paper  and  sends 
out  'books  on  consignment  according  to  the 
size  of  the  outlet.  In  France,  thru  the  new 
book  headquarters,  samples  of  all  new  books 
are  sent  out  to  each  bookseller.  Under  the 
German  plan,  outright  purchase  is  rewarded 
by  extra  discounts,  consignment  rates  being 
asbout  25-30  per  cent  off  the  list  price,  with 
about  10  per  cent  more  in  the  case  of  outright 
purchase. 

Booksellers,  he  said,  are  in  very  close  touch 
with  their  public  from  the  school  child  on. 
Most  of  the  stores,  too,  use  the  monthly  period- 
icals as  a  means  of  keeping  them  in  touch  with 
their  customers,  all  magazine  subscriptions 


being  delivered  by  the   bookseller   instead   of 
being  sent  by  mail. 

In  France,  he  explained,  there  are  no  re- 
prints of  good  titles,  as  is  the  common  (practice 
in  England  and  in  this  country.  He  felt  that 
this  gives  the  booksellers  a  keener  interest  in 
keeping  a  representative  stock  of  the  best 
literature.  The  new  building  of  the  Maison  du 
Livre  has  fine  rooms  set  off  for  a  bookselling 
school  which  it  is  hoped  will  be  started 
shortly. 

Holland  and  Denmark,  he  believed,  are 
the  best  organized  of  any  of  the  countries.  In 
Holland  the  seven  hundred  booksellers  each 
has  his  bin  at  the  central  headquarters  and  all 
orders  received  in  the  morning  mail  are  scat- 
tered to  the  various  publishers  and  reassem- 
bled in  these  bins  for  shipping  by  three  o'clock. 

Germany  has  had  the  most  thoro  system  of 
training  for  bookselling,  and  before  the  war, 
the  course  was  of  two  years  at  government 
expense.  Candidates  for  both  the  bookselling 
and  publishing  business  studied  together,  and  it 
was  a  common  practice  for  those  who  intended 
to  be  booksellers  to  take  one  or  two  years  after 
graduation  in  a  publishing  office  and  for  pub- 
lishers to  spend  one  or  two  years  in  the  book- 
selling field,  in  order  to  understand  fully  the 
whole  situation.  Sweden  has  a  school  sup- 
ported by  the  government  and  by  the  trade 
associations. 

There  is  one  type  of  book  catalog  which  is 
common  in  Europe  and  which  has  no  exact 
counterpart  here.  This  is  the  classified  list, 
giving  in  small  compass  a  list  of  all  the  best 
titles  on  a  given  subject.  The  French  book- 
trade  is  about  to  have  a  new  series  of  such 
catalogs,  and  the  book-trade  uses  them  to  hand 
to  customers  wtho  would  like  further  to  pursue 
reading  in  some  special  direction.  Another 
form  of  book  promotion  highly  developed  is 
that  of  the  elaborate  prospectus,  a  means  by 
which  the  bookseller  solicits  orders  for  the 
more  elaborate  books.  Some  of  these  are  so 
elaborately  made  that  a  price  is  set  on  each 
copy. 

The  success  of  the  course  had  largely  de- 
pended on  the  continuous  work  of  four  men 
whom  Miss  Graham  mentioned  with  special 
appreciation  in  her  final  remarks,  Ernest 
Eisele  and  Mr.  Krasner  of  Brentano's,  D.  B.  : 
Browne  of  Himebaugh  &  Browne,  and  Ralph 
Wilson  of  McDevitt- Wilson's,  Inc. 

THE  ESSAYS  and  plays  of  John  Jay  Chapman 
are  now  published  by  Robert  Cecil  MacMahon. 
This  includes  a  group  of  six  volumes  of  essays 
and  six  volumes  of  plays  as  well  as  a  new 
edition  of  five  hundred  copies  of  "Notes  on  Re- 
ligion."

Short  Story  Prize  Winners 

THE  best  short  stories  of  the  year  of  1921, 
according  to  the  award  of  the  O.  Henry 
Memorial  Committee,  was  "The  Heart  of 
Little  Shikara,"  by  Edison  Marshall  -which  ap- 
peared in  Everybody' *  for  January  last  (first 
prize  of  $500)  and  "The  Man  Who  Cursed 
the  Lilies,"  by  Charles  Tenney  Jackson,  in 
Short  Stories  magazine  of  December  loth  last 
(second  prize  of  $250).  These  two  prize  win- 
ning stories  head  the  list  of  sixteen  tales 
•which  will  be  published  in  book  form  by  Dou- 
bleday,  Page  &  'Co.,  on  March  22nd  under  the 
title  of  "O.  Henry  'Memorial  Award  Prize 
Stories  of  1921."  This  is  the  third  year  of 
the  prize.  In  announcing  the  prizes,  Dr. 
Blanche  Colton  Williams  of  Hunter  College 
and  Columbia  University,  Chairman  of  the 
O.  Henry  Memorial  Committee,  makes  an  inter- 
esting resume  of  the  short  stories  published 
in  American  magazines  during  the  year. 

Results  in  1921  differ  in  a  number  of  re- 
spects from  those  of  1919  and  1920.  In  the 
earlier  half  year,  January  excepted,  every 
reader  reported  a  low  average  of  current  fic- 
tion, so  low  as  to  excite  apprehension  lest  the 
art  of  the  short  story  was  rapidly  declining. 
The  latter  six  months,  however,  marked  a 
reaction,  with  a  higher  percentage  of  values 
in  November  and  December.  Explanation  of 
the  low  level  lies  in  the  financial  depression 
which  forced  a  number  of  editors  to  buy  fewer 
stories,  to  buy  cheaply,  or  to  search  their  vaults 
for  remnants  of  purchases  made  in  happier 
days.  Improvement  began  with  the  return  to 
better  financial  conditions. 

Two  characteristics  of  stories  published  in 
1921  reveal  editorial  policies  that  cannot  but 
be  harmful  to  the  quality  of  this  art.  These 
ear-marks  are  complementary  and  yet  para- 
doxically antipodal.  In  order  to  draw  out 
the  torso  and  tail  of  a  story  thru  Procrustean 
lengths  of  advertising  pages,  some  editors 
place,  or  seem  to  place,  a  premium  upon  length. 
The  writer,  with  an  eye  to  acceptance  by  these 
editors,  consciously  or  unconsciously  pads  his 
matter,  giving  a  semblance  of  substance  where 
substance  is  not.  Many  stories  fall  below  first 
rank  in  the  opinion  of  the  committee  thru  fail- 
ure to  achieve  by  artistic  economy  the  desired 
«nd.  The  comment  "overwritten"  appeared 
again  and  again  on  the  margins  of  such  stories. 
The  reverse  of  this  policy,  as  practiced  by 
other  editors,  is  that  of  chopping  the  tail, 
or  worse,  of  cutting  out  sections  from  the 
body  of  the  narrative,  then  roughly  piecing  to- 
gether the  parts  to  fit  a  smaller  space  deter- 
mined by  some  expediency. 

The  O.  Henry  Memorial  Award  Committee 
•was  created  by  the  Society  of  Arts  and 
Sciences  of  New  York  in  1918.  The  commit- 


859 


tee  consists  of:  Blanche  Colton  Williams, 
Ph.  D.,  chairman;  Edward  J.  Wheeler,  Litt.  D., 
Ethel  Watts  Mumford,  Frances  Gilchrht 
Wood,  and  Grove  E.  Wilson.  The  Society  of 
Arts  and  Sciences  will  award  the  prizes  at  the 
annual  dinner  to  be  held  on  the  evening  of 
March  22nd. 

Telling  All  the  Plot 

THE  habit  of  completely  divulging  the  plot 
of  a  novel  in  writing  its  review  has  often 
been  inveighed  against  in  the  book-trade,  as 
that  kind  of  review  is  of  far  more  value 
to  the  newspaper  that  prints  it  as  a  piece  of 
pleasant  reading  for  its  clientele  than  as  an 
inducement  to  a  customer  to  buy  the  book. 

A  columnist  in  the  current  issue  of  the  Erie 
Railroad  Magazine  says:  "A  friend  of  ours 
writes : 

"  'I  started  to  read  a  review  of  Mrs. 
Burnett's  "The  Head  of  the  House  of  Coombe" 

in  the  newspaper,  and  when  I  found 

that  the  reviewer  was  spoiling  the  story  by 
telling  it  all  to  me,  I  dropped  the  paper.  Don't 
you  think  it's  an  outrageous  thing"  for  a  news- 
paper to  do?' " 

"Yes,"  said  the,  columnist,  "it's  worse  than 
that,  and  no  self-respecting  newspaper  ever 
does  such  a  thing.  It  is  unfair  to  both  author 
and  publisher  who  depend  on  telling  and  sell- 
ing stories  for  a  living." 

Book  Censure  in  the  Time  of 
Dante 

TPHE  suppression  of  obnoxious  opinion 
*•  appears  thru  the  centuries  in  varied  forms. 
It  should  be  interesting  to  learn  of  the  diffi- 
culties of  booksellers  in  the  thirteenth  century. 
Dr.  Gottheil,  of  Columbia  University,  has  just 
published  an  the  Journal  of  the  American  O  -i- 
cntal  Society  the  sad  tale  of  Moslem  hetero- 
doxy in  the  days  of  the  crusades.  A  book- 
seller, Shams  al-Jazari,  who  did  business  at 
the  Bridge  of  the  Feltmakers,  published  a 
Bolshevist  book  that  declared  the  true  tales 
of  the  Koran  were  'but  foolish  myths  and  corn- 
plained  of  the  bad  chronology  of  the  Prophet. 
The  title  was  "The  Whetted  Sword,  an  Answer 
to  the  Koran,."  This  bookseller  had  the  nick- 
name of  "The  Irresolute,"  a  quality  not  un- 
known to-day.  The  censor  came  to  the  book- 
seller and  asked  for  the  book,  but  was  met 
with  the  answer  that  it  had  been  returned  to 
the  author  and  destroyed  by  the  latter.  Never- 
theless he  was  held  and  only  escaped  by  the 
intervention  of  wealthy  Christians  who  had  a 
"pull"  with  the  Tartar  over-lord  of  the  day.

Traver  to  His  Sons 

CLAYTON  L.  Traver,  of  Trenton,  N.  J., 
on  his  sixty-fifth  birthday,  February  iStih, 
deeded  to  his  two  sons,  Morris  S.  and  Lewis 
B.  Traver,  the  building,  stock,  fixtures  and  good 
will  of  his  'book  business  at  108  South  Broad 
Street.  He  is  to  keep  in  touch  with  the  busi- 
ness, but  will  have  more  time  to  travel  with 
his  wife.  The  deed  of  gift  thus  made  is  in 
line  with  the  custom  established  by  the  orig- 
inal Morris  Traver,  who  founded  the  business

English   Publisher  Here 

GEORGE  G.  HARRAP  of  George  G. 
Harrap  &  Company,  Ltd.,  London,  has  been 
spending  a  fortnight  in  New  York  and  has 
now  left  for  Philadelphia  and  Chicago. 
George  Harrap,  Jr.  of  the  same  firm  has 
sailed  for  England,  having  met  his  father 
in  New  York  after  a  trip  to  Australia  in  the 
firm's  interest. 

Mr.  Harrap's  list  is  one  of  the  long  and 
varied  ones  in  the  English  trade,  including 
.largely  educational  books  and  books  for  chil- 
dren. The  firm  is  the  English  representative  of 
D.  C.  Heath  &  'Company,  and  has  marketed  in 
England  the  Volland  "Sunny  Books."  Among 
other  well-known  series  on  their  list  are  sev- 
eral Pogany  color  'books  and  handsome  edi- 
tions of  "The  Three  Musketeers,"  "Lorna 
Doone,"  imported  by  Jacobs,  Evelyn  Paul's 
illuminated  books,  "Claire  de  lune,"  etc.,  which 
have  been  successfully  sold  here  by  Brentano. 
The  well-known  "Myth  Series,''  which  Stokes 
has  marketed  in  this  country,  is  also  one  of 
their  publications.  Specializing,  as  they  do, 
in  colored  illustrations,  a  great  many  of  their 
books  have  been  widely  used  for  school  prizes, 
a  field  of  bookselling  that  prevails  in  the 
English  market  and  which  could  well  be  de- 


veloped further  on  this  side.  Mr.  Harrap 
expects  to  pass  thru  New  York  again  on  his 
way  to  London. 


Film  Censorship  in  New  York 

THE  Senate  at  Albany  has  passed  on  to  the 
Assembly  a  bill  which  would  give  even  wider 
power  to  the  State  Motion  Picture  Censorship 
Commission.  The  Bill  would  permit  the  Com- 
mission to  examine  the  manuscripts  from  which 
the  films  are  taken  and  it  would  also  grant 
subpO2na  powers  to  the  Commission. 

The  Convention  Souvenirs 

THE  local  Entertainment  Committee  for  the 
big  Washington  Booksellers'  Convention  is 
making  especially  careful  preparations  for  the 
banquet  and  believes  that  the  New  Willard 
Hotel  will  do  the  occasion  ample  justice.  Simon 
L.  Nye  of  S.  Kahn  &  Sons,  Washington,  is 
Chairman  in  charge,  and  any  publisher  who 
would  like  to  have  a  new  book  among  the 
brief  list  of  souvenirs  that  are  given  out  on  this 
occasion  should  write  directly  to  him. 

The  Wind  Blows 

A  STRAW  showing  an  indication  of  busi- 
ness progress  is  found  in  the  current  re- 
port of  the  Post  Office  Department,  made  pub- 
lic last  week.  This  shows  that  a  tabulation 
of  the  business  of  the  fifty  largest  post  offices 
in  the  country  indicates  an  increase  in  receipts 
for  February  of  641%  over  the  same  month 
last  year.  Parcel  ,post  centers  such  as  Chi- 
cago have  Shown  a  decided  increase. 

Personal  Note 

MARY  E.  RANCK  has  been  appointed  buyer 
for  the  book  department  of  the  Maison 
Blanche,  New  Orleans,  La.,  to  succeed  Kate 
Connerly,  who  recently  resigned.

Rare  Books,  Autographs  and  Prints 


AN  expression  of  preference  by  the  fresh- 
men of  Radcliffe  College,  at  Cambridge, 
was   recently   taken  as  to  their   favorite 
works  of  fiction.     Dickens  led,    with   "David 
Copperfield"  and   "The   Tale  of    Two   Cities" 
tying  each  other   for  first  place.     Thackeray, 
Scott  and  Hardy  tied  for  second  place. 

English,  French  and  German  colored  prints 
of  the  eighteenth  and  nineteenth  centuries  in 
mezzotint  and  stipple,  Arundel  Society  prints, 
and  finely  colored  aquatint  views  of  American 
and  foreign  places  collected  by  the  late  John 
B.  Pease  of  Roxbury,  Mass.,  will  be  sold  at 
the  American  Art  Galleries,  Thursday  evening, 
March  23. 

A  second  division  of  the  great  Lotz-Brisson- 
neau  collection  of  prints  by  Auguste  Lepere, 
this  one  devoted  to  wood  engravings,  has  been 
placed  on  view  in  the  Knoedler  Galleries.  M. 
Lotz-Brissonneau  was  the  friend  and  cataloger 
of  this  artist's  work,  and  the  prints  he  secured 
for  his  own  collection  shows  Lepere's  art  at 
its  best. 

Henry  Van  Dyke's  story  of  "The  Other 
Wise  Man"  has  just  ibeen  translated  into 
Corean  and  published  in  Seoul.  Translations 
of  this  story  into  Italian,  French,  Dutch, 
Japanese,  German,  Frisian,  Spanish,  Armenian, 
Swedish,  Portuguese,  Araibic,  Malayan,  and 
Chinese  have  already  appeared.  Few  modern 
stones  have  been  translated  into  as  many 
languages  or  so  widely  scattered  over  the  face 
of  the  earth. 

"Two  Poems"  by  John  Freeman,  in  a  thin 
large  octavo  volume,  bound  in  blue  boards 
with  linen  back,  designed  by  Bruce  Rogers 
and  printed  at  the  press  of  William  Rudge,  at 
Mount  Vernon,  N.  Y.,  limited  to  425  copies 
and  published  by  Maurice  Firuski.  Dunster 
House,  Cambridge,  has  just  appeared.  Col- 
lectors have  long  since  learned  that  the  initials. 
"B.  R."  never  fail  to  stand  for  typographical 
excellence  in  any  volume  in  which  they  appear. 

On  Novemer  21,  1921,  King  George  V.  issued 
a  proclamation  granting  arms  to  the  Dominion 
of  Canada.  Stanley  Harrod  has  made  a  fine 
etching  of  the  new  arms,  proofs  of  which  may 
be  obtained  from  printsellers  or  directly  from 
Alfred  Fowler,  Board  of  Trade  Building, 
Kansas  City,  Mo.  The  proofs  are  printed  in 
warm-toned  ink,  on  large  paper  measuring 
7l/2  by  10  inches,  each  bearing  the  artist's  auto- 
graph and  limited  to  500  copies. 


Every  time  that  there  is  a  fire  in  or  near  a 
Government  bureau  at  Washington,  like  that 
recently  at  the  Treasury  Building,  the  agitation 
for  a  national  archive  building  breaks  out 
afresh.  Records,  priceless  to  historians  and 
others  invaluable  to  the  Government  lie  much 
scattered  among  the  departments  and  subject 
to  serious  fire  hazard.  Advocates  of  an  archives 
building  are  pressing  for  action  this  session. 
There  is  the  usual  talk  of  economy,  but  a  plan 
to  protect  valuable  government  property  is 
itself  a  form  of  economy  that  should  appeal 
to  the  common  sense  of  even  the  average  con- 
gressman. 

"My  Boyhood"  is  the  title  of  a  posthumous 
volume  which  collectors  of  the  first  editions 
of  John  Burroughs  will  not  want  to  miss.  It 
will  be  published  by  Dotfbleday,  Page  &  Co., 
on  March  24,  and  is  the  story  of  the  natur- 
alist's childhood  written  some  years  ago  for 
his  son  Julian  who  has  written  an  introduction. 
It  is  a  picture  of  Burrough's  boyhood  on  his 
father's  farm  eighty  years  ago  and  tells  of  the 
self-contained,  self-sufficient  household  where 
they  raised  their  own  food,  made  most  of 
their  own  clothes,  furnished  their  own  enter- 
tainment and  led  a  life  as  different  from  ours 
as  that  of  the  stone  age. 

Francis  R.  Hart  has  written  and  Houghton 
Mifflin  Company  will  publish  "Admirals  of  the 
Caribbean,"  the  romantic  story  of  the  great 
admirals  of  the  Spanish  Main  whose  battles 
won  there  made  the  settlement  of  Virginia  and 
Massachusetts  possible  and  determined  "  the 
nationality  of  North  America.  The  volume  is 
profusely  illustrated  with  portraits  and  rare 
prints.  There  will  be  two  hundred  copies  of 
a  large  paper  edition,  bound  with  white  vellum 
back,  black  label,  and  yellow  sides,  printed  on 
handmade  paper  with  mounted  illustrations. 
Many  collectors  of  Americana  will  be  inter- 
ested in  this  special  edition  and  it  will  be 
necessary  for  them  to  order  promptly  for  it 
will  not  last  long. 

The  historical  library,  formed  by  the  late 
James  Phinney  Baxter,  Mayor  of  Portland, 
Me.,  will  be  sold  at  the  Anderson  Galleries, 
March  20,  21  and  22,  by  order  6f  its  present 
owner,  Hon.  Percival  P.  Baxter,  Governor  of 
the  State  of  Maine.  The  library  is  especially 
rich  in  historical  material  relating  to  Maine 
and  other  New  England  states,  including  a 
wide  range  of  town  histories  with  their  geneal- 
ogical data.  Here  are  rare  tracts  of  the  French 
and  Indian  War,  the  Revolutionary  period, 
works  on  witchcraft,  the  North  American  in-

dians,  especially  of  New  England,  and  much 
miscellaneous  Americana.  This  is  a  collection 
that  should  especially  interest  librarians,  for 
there  is  much  unusual  historical  material  in 
good  condition  that  will  sell  for  moderate 
prioes.  Of  course  there  are  rarities  that  the 
collector  will  be  willing  and  obliged  to  pay 
good  prices  for. 

A  reader  of  this  department  asks  an  ex- 
planation in  regard  to  the  rise  in  value  of 
Quarles  Quickens's  "English  Notes,"  Boston, 
1842,  a  satire  on  Efickens's  "American  Notes," 
which  'brought  $45  at  the  Brady  sale  at  the 
American  Art  Galleries,  December  3,  1917, 
and  $800  at  the  sale  of  the  Wilkins  Dicken- 
siana  recently  at  the  Anderson  Galleries.  Of 
course  the  principal  reason  is  the  growing 
belief  that  Edgar  Allan  Poe  wrote  this  book. 
Before  the  Brady  sale  a  'bookseller  had  cata- 
loged it  for  $1,450.  The  cataloger  of  the 
Brady  copy  apparently  was  Jess  sure  than  the 
bookseller  as  to  its  authorship,  not  placing  the 
item  under  Poe,  and  this  seems  to  account  in 
a  measure  for  its  low  selling  price.  In  the 
meantime,  Joseph  Jackson  of  Philadelphia,  in 
an  introduction  to  a  limited  edition  of  "English 
Notes"  has  made  out  a  very  strong  case  for 
Poe.  The  catailoger  of  the  Wilkins  copy  was 
alive  to  the  recent  developments  and  made  the 
most  of  them.  If  another  copy  were  to  appear 
in  the  auction  room  now  it  would  doubtless 
show  an  advance  over  the  recent  high  price, 
for  the  general  conviction  seems  to  be  growing 
that  Poe  was  its  author. 

Several  consignments  from  oversea,  together 
with  the  remainder  of  the  library  of  the  late 
Daniel  F.  Appleton  of  this  city,  was  sold  at 
the  Anderson  Gailleries,  March  6,  7  and  8, 
945  lots  bringing  $13,941.50.  The  highest  price, 
$1,275,  was  brought  by  a  beautiful,  early  fif- 
teenth century  manuscript  "Horae  Beatae 
Moriae  Virginis"  engrossed  in  Gothic  char- 
acters on  213  leaves  of  vellum  and  bound  in 
red  velvet  with  brass  clasps.  Other  important

The  Untried  Door 


By   RICHARD   ROBERTS 

To  those  looking  for  a  book  on  the  present  social  problems,  written  from  a  religious 
point  of  view,  we  recommend  this  book,  as  Dr.  Roberts  has  vital  knowledge  and  a  wide 
familiarity  with  types  of  Christian  thinking.  He  reduces  the  situation  to  its  basic 
principles  and  puts  the  solution  up  to  the  individual,  who  for  the  most  part,  has  tried 
not  Christianity  but  an  inherited  system  of  Christian  thought.  $1.50 

How  To  Use  the  Bible 

By    F.    WENDELL    FIFIELD 

A  book  which  should  be  read  by  those  who  think  they  know  how  to  use  it  as 
well  as  by  those  who  'have  doubts  about  its  value  as  a  guide  for  present-day  living. 
It  is  not  a  techmical,  heavy  document  but  an  interesting,  very  readable  discussion 
written  especially  as  a  study  for  intermediiate  groups.  Paper  55c.  Cloth  950. 

Fundamentals  for  Daily  Living 

,  By    ROBERT    SENECA    SMITH

Supreme  Motive  of  Life;  The  Power  of  the  Holy  Spirit.  Paper  $1.00.  Cloth  $1.50. 

The  Girls'  Year  Book 

This  book  is  to  be  used  every  day  in  the  year.  The  prayers,  Bible  readings  and 
thoughtful  questions  make  us  realize  that  Christianity  must  be  above  all  things  applied 
to  the  practical  details  of  every-day  life.  75  cents. 

Bible  as  a  Community  Book 

By  ARTHUR  E.  HOLT 

Dr.  Holt  says  "Religion  cannot  escape  economics.  My  book  is  an  attempt  to 
discover  the  industrial  and  social  background  of  the  Bible."  Christian  citizens  every- 
where will  welcome  this  clear,  forceful  program  for  community  building.

ELINOR  GLYN 

who  is  now  in  Los  Angeles  directing  the  production  of  her  new  photo  play, 
has  just  finished  her  new  story.  Please  note  that  it  will  be  published  in 
May.  A  unique  and  snappy  color  jacket  is  being  prepared  and  an  extensive 
advertising  campaign  planned,  as  we  believe  that  this  novel  will  be  considered 
the  greatest  of  Mrs.  Glyn's  literary  achievements. 

MAN  AND  MAID 

By  ELINOR  GLYN 

The  "war  of  the  sexes"  has  not  been  better  portrayed  than  in  this  able  romance 
of  Sir  Nicholas  Thormonde,  his  friends  "The  Fluffies"  and  "The  Girl."  It 
possesses  all  the  qualities  which  have  made  Elinor  Glyn's  previous  books  so 
famous,  but  with  new  direction  and  power.  Price  $2.00

Readers  will  always  flock  in  large  numbers  to  read  stories  of  the  Kentucky 
mountain  folk,  that  ring  true — witness  the  popularity  of  John  Fox,  Jr.  This 
new  novel  is  the  "real  thing;"  the  author  knows  and  loves  the  country  and 
its  people.  She  depicts  them  with  vivid  sympathy  in  this  powerfully  appealing 
story  of  Ailsie  Steward,  Kentucky  girl,  whose  romance  with  Stanley  Irving, 
scion  of  an  aristocratic  family,  brings  her  final  great  happiness,  but  only  after 
great  cost.  A  graphic  tale  with  characters  that  fairly  live. 


THE  BRACEGIRDLE 


By  BURRIS  JENKINS 


Price  $2.00 


The  popular  demand  for  clean  and  wholesome  stories  of  Love 
and  Chivalry — of  noted  characters  in  history  is  stronger 
today  than  ever  before.  This  is  a  fascinating  romance, — the 
intimate  love  story  of  "Anne  Bracegirdle"  a  famous  English 
actress  of  the  17th  Century.  We  believe  that  it  will  be 
numbered  among  the  successes  of  the  season. 


THE  MYSTERY  GIRL 

Carolyn  Wells's  new  "Fleming  Stone"  detec- 
tive story  is  one  of  terrific  suspense,  with  the 
solution  always  just  around  the  corner.  It  is 
hitting  a  "high  mark"  in  sales.  Price  $2.00

Walter  Lippmann's 


Public  Opinion" 


A  Necessary  Book 

A  study  of  the  force  that  governs  politics  and  social  relations.  With 
the  fall  of  the  last  of  the  great  autocracies  of  Western  Civilization,  an  analysis 
of  this  intangible  force  has  become  of  intense  interest  to  the  average  thinking 
man.  In  its  proper  direction  lies  the  success  or  failure  of  democratic  govern- 
ment. 

It  is  a  question  that  is  as  old  as  human  thought,  a  problem  for  which 
the  war  and  its  censorship  and  the  increasing  influence  of  the  press  has  given 
us  an  insatiable  curiosity. 

"Behold!  Human  beings  living  in  a  sort  of  underground  den— 
their  legs  and  necks  chained,  so  they  cannot  move  and  can  only  see 
before  them." 

"And  they  see  only  their  own  shadows,  or  the  shadows  of  one 
another,  which  the  fire  throws  on  the  opposite  wall  of  the  cave?"- 

"If  they  were  able  to  talk  with  one  another  would  they  not  sup- 
pose that  they  were  naming  what  was  actually  before  them."  —  The 
Republic  of  Plato,  Book  Seven.

The  Minister's  Own  Reading 

THAT  the  minister  himself  should  not 
only  talk  of  religious  books  but  plan 
more  systematically  for  his  own  read- 
ing was  the  contention  of  a  news  letter 
sent  out  in  connection  with  Religious  Book 
Week  by  the  Chicago  Theological  Seminary. 

"This  Book  Week,"  said  the  circular,  "is 
a  significant  development  which  should  have 
the  co-operation  of  all  ministers.  It  should 
be  a  time  of  resolution  for  the  minister.  He 
ought  to  be  thinking  ahead  to  the  summer 
when  he  will  surely  want  to  do  serious  read- 
ing. Unless  he  does  plan  ahead,  summer  will 
come  without  the  fund  ready  for  the  purchase 
of  books  and  without  a  list  of  volumes  dis- 
criminatingly chosen.  Three  things  the  minis- 
ter may  well  consider  at  this  time : 

"i.  Put  away  something  each  week  for  book 
purchase  and  watch  reviews  for  lists. 

"2.  Began  the  study  of  some  choice  devo- 
tional book  such  as  Peabody's  'Sundays  in  Col- 
lege Chapels',  Glover's  'Jesus  Jn  the  Exper- 
ience of  Men,'  Kent  and  Jenks's  'Jesus'  Prin- 
ciples of  Living.' 

"3.  Begin  the  serious  study  of  some  volume 
of  genuine  scholastic  merit,  to  mention  but 
three:  Smith's  The  Age  of  the  Reformation,' 
Campbell's  The  Southern  Highlander  amf 
His  Homeland,'  Park  and  Burgess's  'Introduc- 
tion to  the  Science  of  Sociology.' " 

Who  Will  Caravan  This  Year? 

BOOK  caravaning  in  this  country,  as  far 
as  the  sale  of  books  is  concerned,  is  now 
two  years  old,  and  as  the  open  season  ap- 
proaches it  will  be  interesting  to  watch  whether 
more   caravans   will   appear,   and  the   book  get 
wider  representation  in  the  highways  and  by- 
ways.    So  far,  the  east  has  been  the  scene  of 
the  pilgrimaging,  the  Caravan  of  the  Bookshop 
for  Boys  and   Girls  in  Boston  having  covered 
New  England,  and  the  Appleton  Caravan  hav- 


ing toured  Long  Island  last  summer.  It  is  re- 
ported that  E.  M.  (Ted)  Robdnson,  the  col- 
umnist of  the  Cleveland  Plain  Dealer,  who 
launched  a  bookshop  in  the  Fine  Arts  Build- 
ing in  Cleveland  this  winter,  has  planned  to 
close  his  shop  and  get  into  a  motor  car  with 
books  when  summer  arrives.  His  itinerary  is 
to  be  thru  Ohio.  It  is  a  very  happy 
plan  for  the  manager  of  a  small  shop  to  pack 
up  thus  and  see  new  places  and  make  new 
friends  who  may  be  of  continuing  value  in 
the  winter's  business. 

Distribution  Cost  Doubled 

THE  chairman  of  the  joint  commission 
which  has  been  investigating  price  levels 
for  Congress  has  issued  a  statement 
showing  that  its  investigations  indicate  that 
the  cost  of  marketing  and  distributing  pro- 
ducts in  this  country  has  doubled  since  1913. 
This  investigation  followed  the  hearings  in 
Washington  which  had  endeavored  to  place  the 
responsibility  for  the  high  cost  of  living.  The 
statement  of  Chairman  Sidney  Anderson  reads 
as  follows : 

"The  costs  of  distribution  were  increasing 
slowly  but  steadily  prior  to  1913.  So  far  as 
we  can  ascertain  they  have  about  doubled  since 
1913,  and  today  the  costs  of  distribution  repre- 
sent about  one-half  of  the  price  which  the  final 
consumer  pays.  These  increases  in  cost  do 
not  occur  in  any  one  place  in  the  line  of  dis- 
tribution. They  occur  as  a  part  of  the  price 
of  every  element  of  service  performed  in  con- 
nection with  the  distribution  of  the  product  all 
along  the  line.  This  means  that  the  spread 
.between  the  producer's  and  consumer's  prices 
must,  for  the  most  part,  be  reduced  by  more 
efficient  methods  of  distribution,  by  reducing 
unnecessary  transportation  hauls,  by  more  effi- 
cient merchandising  methods,  hy  more  closely 
relating  output  to  market,  by  speeding  up  turn- 
over, by  redwcing  unnecessary  stocks  and 
otherwise  shortening  and  speeding  up  the  steps 
between  the  producer  and  the  consumer." 

Current  Progress  on  Tariff 

THE  Ways  and  Means  Committee  of  the 
House  has  been  proceeding  steadily  thru 
the  various  schedules  in  the  revision  of  the 
Fordney  Tariff,  and  it  is  expected  that  it  will 
l)e  reported  to  the  Senate  by  the  first  of 
the  month,  at  which  time  the  details  will  be 
available.  There  is  still  no  agreement  between 
the  two  branches  of  Congress  on  the  subject 
of  American  valuation  i-s.  foreign  valuation, 


902 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


the  House  contending  for  the  former  and  the 
Senate  for  the  latter. 

Current  reports  indicate  that  the  eastern 
manufacturers,  in  order  to  get  the  high  sched- 
ules they  have  wanted,  have  been  obliged  to 
grant  high  protection  on  raw  materials  to  the 
Western  delegations.  It  is  expected  that  the 
rates  will  be  generally  higher  than  the  high 
levels  of  the  Payne-Aldnieh  Act.  There  seems 
to  foe  reason  to  hope  that  the  additions  in  the 
free  liist  on  books  will  be  'brought  about,  as 
the  pressure  in  tihat  -direction  has  been  so  heavy. 
Whether  the  book-trade  is  to  suffer  from  an 
increase  in  rates  on  current  books  cannot  be 
yet  told.  If  American  valuation  is  adopted, 
the  interchange  of  books  between  England  and 
this  country  will  undoubtedly  be  seriously 
handicapped. 

Co-operative  Book  Advertising 

THE  Publishers'  Adcluib,  which  was  organ- 
ized in  New  York  last  fall  among  the  adver- 
tising managers  has  been  studying  book  promo- 
tion thru  advertising  in  its  various  phases,  and 
has  at  a  recent  meeting  proposed  and  found 
support  for  a  plan  for  co-operative  display  ad- 
vertising which  will  cover  eight  newspapers 
thruout  the  country.  Sixteen  publishers  have 
so  far  signed  up  to  the  program,  which  may  be 
outlined  as  follows : 

A  two-column  advertisement  is  divided  into 
•one-inch  spaces  of  single  column  widths,  each 
publisher  'being  allotted  one  space  to  describe 
the  book  that  he  would  like  to  promote  in  this 
way  during  that  month.  The  specially  lettered 
heading  for  the  double  column  reads :  "Guide 
to  the  Month's  New  Books  Now  On  Sale  At 
Your  Bookseller's." 

The  papers  an  which  this  is  to  appear  are  the 
San  Francisco  Chronicle,  Los  Angeles  Times, 
Cleveland  Plain  Dealer,  Baltimore  Sun,  Min- 
neapolis Journal,  Denver  Times  News,  St. 
Louis  Post  Dispatch,  Detroit  Ncivs. 

The  space  has  been  arranged  for  the  first 
book  page  day  of  each  month,  beginning  with 
April  and  running  thru  March  of  next  year. 

The  proofs  of  the  advert»s*m(  nts  are  to  be 
sent  to  the  'booksellers  in  these  cities  just  be- 
fore the  time  of  release,  and  the  forms  close 
three  weeks  before  the  date  of  publication. 

Of  the  papers  selected  five  run  their  book 
pages  on  Sunday,  two  on  Saturday  and  one  on 
Wednesday,  and  tihere  is  a  total  circulation  of 
1,223,000. 

Hotchkiss  to  Speak  at  Convention 

THE   Program   Committee   of  the  American 
Booksellers'     Association     announces     that 
it    has   just   heard    from    John    T.    Hotchkiss, 
Manager  of  the  retail  book  department  of  J. 


K.  Gill  Company  of  Portland,  Ore.,  that  he 
will  be  one  of  the  speakers  at  the  Washington 
Convention.  Mr.  Hotchkiss  has  been  one  of 
the  most  active  Contributors  to  the  discussion 
of  better  bookselling  methods,  and  has  con- 
stantly added  to  the  discussion  of  retail  pro- 
motion. Mr.  Estabrook  of  the  Program  Com- 
mittee feels  pleased  to  have  a  speaker  come 
from  so  long  a  distance  to  cover  the  assign- 
ment. 

New  York  Pressmen  Accept 
Arbitration  Award 

BY  the  vote  of  a  Union  meeting  on  March 
igth,  the  New  York  Newspaper  Web  Press- 
men's Union  Number  Twenty-Five  decided  to 
accept  the  arbitration  award  announced  last 
month  which  went  into  effect  on  March 
20th.  This  decision,  while  maintaining  the 
present  wage  scales,  gave  to  the  publishers  a 
control  over  shop  conditions  that  they  had  not 
had  for  some  time.  The  vote  rejected  the 
rules  for*  applying  the  award  which  had  been 
proposed  by  the  Newspaper  Publishers'  Asso- 
ciation and  appointed  a  committee  of  two  to 
meet  with  two  from  the  publishers  to  straighten 
out  any  disagreements.  If  these  four  dis- 
agree, a  third  party  will  be  introduced.  The 
President  of  the  Union  states  that  he  believes 
the  award  is  impractical  for  the  publishers  as 
well  as  for  the  men,  but  that  the  committee 
will  try  to  make  it  workable  thru  the  medium 
of  standing  committees. 

Traveling  Costs 

THE  campaign  to  find  ways  to  reduce  the 
cost  of  keeping  traveling  men  on  the  road 
is  going  actively  on,  and  considerable  publicity 
has  been  given  to  the  survey  recently  com- 
pleted by  the  National  Council  of  Traveling 
Salesmen.  This  survey  disclosed  that  in  164 
firms  alone  the  traveling  staffs  have  been  re- 
duced from  2392  in  1917  to  1621  at  present,  and 
that  the  average  number  of  weeks  out  has 
been  cut  more  than  five  weeks  a  year  to  keep 
costs  down.  A  special  effort  is  being  made  to 
obtain  an  interchangeable  mileage  book  to  cut 
the  cost  from  3.6  per  mile  to  2.4.  The  Na- 
tional Association  of  Book  Publishers  has  been 
co-operating  with  other  national  groups  in  this 
campaign  to  get  these  lower  rates. 

The  Interstate  Commerce  Commission  has, 
however,  presented  a  report  to  the  House, 
holding  that  the  bill  directing  the  commission 
to  order  the  sale  of  interchangeable  mileage 
books  at  a  rate  lower  than  the  existing  tariff 
was  unconstitutional.  The  opinion  was  based 
on  a  decision  by  the  Supreme  Court  in  which 
the  court  held  that  an  authorized  reduction  in 
mileage  book  prices  was  not  for  common 
benefit,  but  for  the  benefit  of  a  favored  few.

The  Making  of  a  Bible 


THE  first  method  of  binding  books  was 
probably  that  employed  as  early  as  the 
6t)h  century  and  known  as  the  Byzantine 
style  of  binding  which  makes  binding  a  much 
older  art  than  that  of  printing.  The  monks 
had  carried  the  art  of  binding  missals  and  pre- 
cious works  written  by  hand  wonderfully  or- 
namented to  a  very  high  plane.  The  written 
leaves  were  iastened  together  and  inclosed  in 
covers  of  wood  which  were  often  decorated 
with  jewels  and  ornaments  of  gold  and  silver. 
Most  of  these  books  were  destroyed  by  people 
seeking  the  gems  that  were  supposed  to  be  hid- 
den in  the  thick  wooden  covers. 

A  Standing  Reward 

Between  the  roth  and  the  I4th  centuries,  the 
monks  in  England,  having  copied  and  improved 
the  designs  of  books  brought  from  the  East,  be- 
came the  foremost  binders  of  Europe.  The  in- 
troduction of  the  printing  press  gave  a  great 
impetus  to  the  trade  of  bookbinding;  and,  as 
the  number  of  books  increased,  the  art  of  book- 
binding steadily  improved.  To-day  there  are  in 
existence  not  only  well  preserved  specimens  of 
the  ancient  binders'  art,  but  splendid  examples 
of  the  highly  developed  skill  of  the  modern 
binder. 

The  Bible,  the  greatest  of  all  books,  is  prob- 
ably the  best  example  of  book-binding,  repre- 
senting as  it  does  all  thru  the  ages,  the  va- 
rious methods,  forms  and  artistic  skill  of  the 
book-binder.  From  the  crude  materials  of  the 
early  centuries,  we  now  have  the  exquisitely  or- 
namented bindings  of  the  finest  leathers,  as  well 
as  thousands  of  binding  styles  for  every-day 
use.  In  Bible  making  not  only  does  the  bind- 
ing present  opportunities  for  showing  the 
trained  skill  of  the  traiined  artisan  but  all  the 
other  steps  in  the  process  of  the  making  of  a 
Bible  present  exacting  requirements  not  met 
in  ordinary  ibookmaking.  A  visit  to  a  modern 
Bible  manufacturing  plant  gives  one  a  new 
sense  of  appreciation  for  the  beautiful  editions 
of  the  world's  best  book  available  to  the  2Oth 
century  reader. 

The  first  step  'in  such  a  tour  of  inspection 
is  naturally  the  composing  room.  It  is  here  that 
the  type  is  set  up.  One  learns  the  astounding 
fact  that  in  setting  up  a  Bible  it  is  necessary  for 
the  compositors  to  handle  3,566,480  letters,  not 
to  mention  punctuation  marks !  Accuracy  is  se- 
cured by  proof-reading  the  entire  volume  seven 
times.  One  of  the  large  Bfible  publishing  firms 
has  a  standing  reward  of  Five  Dollars  to  be 
paid  to  the  person  who  first  reports  a  typo- 
graphical error.  This  reward,  it  is  said,  is  sel- 
dom earned.  Not  only  does  the  setting  up  of  a 
Bible  involve  the  handling  of  an  exceptional 


amount  of  type  matter,  but  in  making  the  ref- 
erence editions,  the  work  becomes  exceedingly 
complicated.  These  editions  have  a  center 
column  containing  in  the  neighborhood  of  50,- 
ooo  references  to  other  chapters  and  verses  and 
it  will  readily  be  seen  that  this  multitude  of  ab- 
breviations and  figures  must  be  accurate.  In 
addition,  small  letters  must  be  carefully  fitted 
to  the  words  in  the  text  matter  which  indicate 
the  references  to  which  they  apply. 

The  type  matter  having  been  made  tip  into 
pages,  it  is  then  sent  to  the  foundry  where  each 
page  is  plated.  These  plates  go  to  the  press- 
room where  rows  of  high-powered  machines  are 
ceaselessly  printing,  eight  hours  of  every  work- 
ing day  of  the  year,  in  the  effort  to  keep  up 
with  the  constantly  increasing  demand  for  the 
Bible. 

The  press-room  has  its  own  peculiar  problems 
in  Bi'ble  making.  Chief  among  these  is  the  se- 
lection of  papers  that  are  most  suitable.  The 
printer  must  find  a  paper  that  will  result  in  a 
volume  no  bulkier  than  an  ordinary  book,  and 
yet  the  one  he  is  making  contains  about  eight 
times  the  number  of  words  in  an  ordinary 
length  novel.  This  problem  has  been  partially 
solved  iin  the  use  of  thin,  high-grade  paper, 
which,  while  it  is  thin,  is  also  opaque  and 
strong.  But  even  this  high-grade  paper  used 
in  the  making  of  the  ordinary  editions  of  the 
Bible  has  not  marked  the  ultimate  improve- 
ment in  the  printing  material.  A  further,  and 
what  has  been  called  a  revolutionary,  step  was 
taken  in  the  use  of  extremely  thin  paper  known 
as  India  paper.  It  is  so  thin  that  thirteen  hun- 
dred sheets  measure  only  one  inch  in  thickness, 
yet  the  print  on  one  side  does  not  show  thru  to 
the  other. 

Much  Hand  Work 

The  flat,  printed  sheets  are  then  taken  to  the 
bindery.  Here  they  are  folded  and  collated, 
that  is  arranged  so  that  they  will  follow  in  or- 
der. The  next  step  is  the  sewing,  which  is 
done  wiith  a  fine  quality  of  Sea  Island  cotton. 
The  higher-priced  editions  are  sewn  with  silk. 

The  edges  are  now  trimmed  and  rounded, 
colored  red  and  the  gold  leaf  applied,  which. 
when  dried,  is  burnished.  The  sheets  are  now 
ready  to  be  cased  in,  that  is  covered  with  what- 
ever material  is  to  be  used.  The  hides  of  thou- 
sands of  animals  are  used  each  year  in  Bible 
binding.  Cattle,  sheep,  goats,  pigs  and  seals 
are  used,  only  the  better  portions  of  each  skin 
being  suitable  for  this  purpose.  The  making 
of  a  divinity  circuit  (overlapping)  cover  re- 
quires great  skill  and  accuracy.  The  cover  is 
cut  to  the  precise  size  from  a  part  of  the  skin 
which  is  without  blemish  and  the  edge  all

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


around  is  carefully  pared  so  that  it  may  be 
neatly  turned  over  the  lining  which  may  be  of 
paper,  linen  or  leather.  The  trimmed  and  gilded 
sheets  before  described  are  now  securely  glued 
to  the  back  of  the  'bindiing.  Securing  the  sheets 
to  the  back  in  this  manner  by  means  of  a  spe- 
cial glue,  re-enforces  the  back  with  the  strength 
of  the  leather  and  gives  that  flexibility  so  de- 
sirable in  a  Bible.  A  head  band,  cut  to  the 
exact  siize,  is  then  inserted  at  the  top  and  bot- 
tom of  the  back  of  the  sheets,  adding  to  the 
volumes  strength  and  finish.  It  has  often  been 
remarked  that  the  best  grade  of  leather  bind- 
ing as  done  abroad.  This  has  been  explained 
by  the  fact  that  the  foreign  binder  of  to-day 
is,  in  many  cases,  working  at  the  same  bench 
occupied  by  his  father  and  grandfather  before 


him.  This  gives  him  an  inherent  skill  that  en- 
dows his  product  with  a  degree  of  finish  and 
excellence  that  seems  attainable  in  no  other 
way. 

It  is  surprising  how  much  of  the  work  nec- 
essary in  Bible  binding  must  be  done  by  hand. 
This  is  due  to  the  shaping  of  the  turned  over 
edge,  the  great  variety  of  sizes,  and  the  ex- 
treme accuracy  with  which  the  sheets  are  fitted 
into  the  covers.  It  is  because  the  covers  are 
so  carefully  fitted  that  it  is  unwise  to  place  pa- 
pers or  other  materials  in  a  Bible  as  this  will 
result  .in  a  broken  back. 

Millions  of  copies  of  the  Bible  are  being 
made  in  just  this  manner  every  year  and  are 
finding  their  way  to  all  parts  of  the  earth. 


Market  for  American  Books  in  Brazil 


ttT^HE  lack  of  American  books  for  sale  in 
1  Rio  de  Janeiro,  particularly  during  the 
past  holiday  season,  has  been  very  noticeable" 
writes  W.  L.  Schurz,  Commercial  Attache  in 
Rio  de  Janeiro,  in  Commerce  Reports.  "This 
is  in  sharp  contrast  to  the  case  of  American 
magazines.  Most  of  the  standard  American 
periodicals  can  be  purchased  regularly  in  at 
least  three  local  bookstores  and  on  some  of  the 
news  stands  along  the  Avenida.  However, 
practically  all  of  tihe  books  written  in  English 
that  are  sold  locally  are  of  English  origin. 

"While  the  total  number  of  American  read- 
ers in  Rio  de  Janerio  and  the  immediate  neigh- 
borhood can  not  exceed  2,000,  there  must  be 
added  as  possible  buyers  the  growing  number 
of  transient  Americans  who  frequently  desire 
to  buy  American  books.  It  might  be  stated 
that  the  unsatisfactory  parcel-post  service  dis- 
courages the  direct  buying  of  books  from  the 
United  States  by  persons  who  might  otherwise 
use  this  means  of  securing  them.  There  are 
probably  4,000  British  residing  permanently  in 
and  about  this  city  who  are  generally  very  con- 
servative in  buying  books,  and  prefer  those  of 
low  price  and  very  ordinary  appearance  and 
contents.  Moreover,  an  increasing  number  of 
Brazilians  are  learning  English  and  demanding 
books  written  in  that  language. 

"As  to  the  classes  of  American  books  that 
should  have  a  sale,  there  is  a  good  demand  for 
those  of  a  scientific  nature,  including  treatises 
on  medicine,  different  branches  of  engineering, 
industrial  processes!,  and  general  technical  sub- 
jects. Some  of  these  are  now  found  in  stock 
locally,  but  there  is  no  doubt  more  could  be 
sold.  There  are  few  scientific  works  in 
Portuguese,  and  a  reading  knowledge  of  Ger- 
man is  not  common  among  educated  Brazilians. 
The  largest  number  of  scientific  works  dis- 


played in  local  bookstores  are  in  French,  as 
acquaintance  with  that  language  is  virtually 
universal  among  those  who  read  books. 

"Few  works  of  American  fiction  are  ever 
seen  in  the  bookstores  of  Rio  de  Janeiro,  and 
these  are  generally  British  reprints.  The  cheap 
Tauohnitz  (German)  edition  of  American  and 
English  titles  has  appeared  again  in  this  market 
in  competition  with  a  similar  British  collec- 
tion. Cheap  British  collections,  such  as  the 
Nelson  Library,  are  also  sold  locally.  The 
more  serious  current  publications  in  the  field  of 
general  literature  of  American  houses  never 
find  their  way  to  Brazil.  Another  class  of 
publications  for  which  there  should  be  a  fair 
demand  is  American  juvenile  books,  which 
are  of  a  superior  class.  It  is  common  for 
these  books  to  be  read  by  Brazilian  children 
who  are  studying  English."

Good  Book- Making 


THAT  the  book  buyers  and  booksellers  have 
become  steadily  more  interested  in  book- 
making  and  in  the  effect  of  sound  produc- 
tion on  book  sales  has  been  evidenced  by  many 
comments  heard  in  the  trade.  Three  or  four 
people  have,  since  the  first  of  the  year,  writ- 
ten detailed  letters  of  criticism  on  the  pres- 
ent state  of  book  manufacture,  and,  instead  of 
printing  these  letters  separately,  they  have 
been  gathered  into  an  article  soon  to  be 
printed.  People  realize  that  the  publisher 
has  at  his  disposal  in  these  days  great  facilities 
in  the  way  of  good 'types,  variety  of  binding 
cloths,  perfected  binding  and  machinery,  all  of 
which,  if  well  directed,  can  produce  books 
of  high  quality  as  well  as  attractive  appearance. 
As  has  been  before  emphasized  in  this  de- 
partment, those  who  best  understand  book  man- 
ufacture are  critical,  not  so  much  of  the  partial 
failure  of  good  intentions  as  of  lack  of  ade- 
quate attempt  to  make  books  measure  up  to 
their  best  possibilities.  It  has  been  often  com- 
mented on  that  typography  alone  has  a  marked 
effect  ory  the  circulation  of  a  magazine,  and  in 
that  field  the  effect  of  appearance  can  be  more 
closely  judged  than  in  the  book  field  where 
no  two  books  can  be  exactly  compared.  Such 
magazines  as  the  Dial,  the  London  Mercury 
and  the  Atlantic,  to  speak  only  of  those  that 
depend  on  typography  alone  for  their  attractive- 
ness, undoubtedly  hold  readers  because  of  the 
appeal  of  the  type  page  to  the  eye.  No  one 
can  accurately  estimate  how  many  books  may 
be  passed  over  by  those  who  go  over  them  on 
the  counter  merely  because  they  are  not  appeal- 
ing in  appearance.  To  this  handicap  to  selling 
there  is  added  the  other  waste  which  comes 
from  people  who  get  the  book  collecting  habit, 
but  who  find  that  many  books  purchased  dis- 
appoint them. 

Among  the  attractive  books  of  the  last  few 
weeks  is  Putnam's  printing  of  "If."  a  play  in 
four  acts,  by  Lord  Dunsany,  the  composition 
and  the  presswork  of  the  Knickerbocker  Press. 
The  type  page,  selection  of  paper  and  the  plan 
of  the  binding  are  all  very  admirably  carried  out. 
In  the  field  of  poetry  the  most  interesting 
volume  that  comes  to  hand  is  "Odes  and 
Lyrics"  by  Hartley  Burr  Alexander,  Marshall 
Jones  Company.  This  volume  is  printed  on 
handmade  paper  with  a  beautifully  clear  im- 
pression of  the  type,  a  model  of  what  an  octavo 
volume  of  poetry  can  be,  and  most  appropri- 
ately bound.  Another  excellent  volume  of  the 
same  size  is  Holt's  edition  of  Walter  de  la 
Mare's  'The  Veil  and  Other  Poems."  This 
is  also  excellently  and  appropriately  bound. 
Holt  has  also  to  his  credit  the  attractive,  tho 


simple  volume  on  "The  Poetry  of  Dante"  by 
Benedetto  Croce. 

Another  good  book  from  Marshall  Jones 
Company  is  the  Ralph  Adams  Cram  volume 
entitled  "Towards  the  Great  Peace,"  one  of 
the  Dartmouth  alumnae  lectureships.  In  type 
planning,  make-up  and  binding  this  leaves 
nothing  to  be  desired. 

Among  well-made  volumes  of  fiction  there 
is  a  book  attractive  in  every  way  from  Mac- 
millan,  'IGlenwood  of  Shipbay,"  by  John  H. 
Walsh,  good  in  type  page  and  paper,  satisfac- 
tory in  binding  with  a  very  excellent  wrapper. 

Stokes  has  made  a  good  fiction  volume  out 
of  William  Dana  Orcutt's  "The  Balance;"  and 
Brentano  has  a  good  volume  in  "The  Doom 
Trail."  Stokes  has  also  made  an  attractive 
book  of  its  "Caruso  and  the  Art  of  Sing- 
ing" by  Fucito  and  Beyer.  The  binding  is  es- 
pecially attractive. 

Among  many  good  volumes  of  miscellaneous 
character  we  select  "An  American  Diplomat 
in  China,"  by  Paul  S.  Reinsch  (Doubleday, 
Page  &  Company),  "The  Adventures  of  a 
Tropical  Tramp,"  by  Harry  L.  Foster  (Dodd, 
Mead  &  Company),  "Banking  and  Business." 
by  Willis  and  Edwards  (Harper),  "The 
Greater  Rumania,"  by  Charles  Upson  Clark 
(Dodd,  Mead  &  Company.) 

A  very  interesting  piece  of  book  planning 
in  a  special  field  is  the  volume  published  by 
Doran  entitled  "A  Century  of  Banking  in  New 
York,"  by  Henry  Wysham  Lanier.  The  text 
matter  calls  for  a  great  deal  of  special  work, 
letters,  footnotes,  tables,  cuts  and  all  of  this 
has  been  done  with  great  taste  and  judgment 
by  the  Gillds  Press.  The  volume  is  one  of 
the  most  interesting  of  the  year  from  the 
point  of  view  of  manufacture. 

The  Atlantic  Monthly  Press  has  reissued 
in  very  attractive  shape  M.  A.  DeWolfe 
Howe's  book  on  "Boston  Common."  originally 
published  by  Houghton  Mifflin  Company.  The 
same  type  has  been  used  and  fits  well  into  the 
smaller  volume.  There  is  a  postscript  chapter 
with  extra  illustration. 


Hungary  Bans  Walt  Whitman 

THE  Hungarian  Commissioner  of  Educa- 
tion, forbidding  the  circulation  in  Hungary 
of  the  political  works  of  Walt  Whitman, 
translated  into  Hungarian  for  the  first  time, 
has  declared  them  subversive  of  law  and  order. 
The  prohibition  is  also  due  to  the  fact  that 
the  translator  is  a  Communist  refugee  in 
Vienna.

Reminiscences  of  a  Book  Scout 

By  Joseph  Jevvett  Barton 

VII.        '  The  Amenities  of  Book  Collecting' ' 


1    SUPPOSE  there  is  no  calling  or  profes- 
sion  that   contains   so   much    pure   romance 
as  bookhunting.     Trout  or  bass  fishing,  at 
its  best,  is  its  nearest  competitor,  considering 
it  as  a  sport.     With  an  open  mind,  the  situa- 
tions met  are  often  very  humorous.     It  has 
its   glamor  and   fascination,  and   I   regret  to 
say  it  also  has  mean  and  sordid,  and  some- 
times pathetic  phases,  which  I  do  not  like. 

It  is  all  very  well  to  match  wits  or  specific 
knowledge  with  another  bookseller,  or  do 
somebody  first  .because  he  shows  the  inclina- 
tion to  do  you,  but  these  rules  of  action 
and  protection  apply  to  a  small  percentage 
of  transactions. 

We  had  just  finished  dinner  one  evening, 
this  happened  in  Brooklyn,  when  the  buz- 
zer warned  us  we  were  going  to  have  a 
caller.  When  I  went  into  the  living  room 
I  found  a  young  woman,  probably  in  the 
early  twenties,  sitting  there  with  a  baby  on 
her  lap — quite  a  new  traby,  too.  Their  appear- 
ance was  not  very  prepossessing ;  not  par- 
ticularly neat  nor  clean. 

I  gathered  from  her  rambling  talk  that 
Mr.  S.,  the  editor  of  a  local  paper,  had  ad- 
vised her  to  come  to  me.  She  said  she  had 
some  books  which  she  wished  to  sell.  I  asked 
where  the  books  were  and  she  produced  from 
a  handbag,  three  miserable  little  nothings, 
not  even  good  enough  for  a  ten-cent  counter.  , 

I  handed  the  books  back  to  her  and  said 
I  regretted  that  I  could  not  use  them.  Her 
face  fell,  she  looked  so  dejected  and  disap- 
pointed that  in  an  effort  to  cheer  her  up  and 
make  a  little  conversation  I  asked  if  she  had 
any  other  books.  She  replied  that  she  had, 
but  did  not  think  they  amounted  to  any- 
thing, as  she  had  picked  out  the  ones  she 
thought  were  of  the  greatest  value.  Of  course 
that  did  not  mean  anything  to  me,  as  most 
people  pick  the  wrong  ones,  so  asking  her 
address,  I  told  her  if  she  so  desired  I  would 
come  and  see  what  she  had  the  following 
afternoon.  This  did  not  seem  especially  to 
please  her,  so  I  inquired  why.  She  finally 
admitted  that  if  there  were  any  chance  of 
her  selling  me  anything  she  wished  I  would 
come  at  once,  as  one  of  her  other  children 
was  sick,  and  this  was  almost  a  final  effort 
to  raise  cash  for  immediate  needs. 

This  was  the  winter  of  1918 — that  real 
winter.  I  hated  the  idea  of  leaving  a  per- 
fectly good  steam-heated  apartment  to  chase 
around  in  some  mean  street  where  in  all 


probability  the  house  was  cold,  smelly  and 
generally  disagreeable.  But  I  went,  and  the 
place  was  even  worse  than  I  thought  it  would 
be.  The  dining  room,  or  was  it  a  kitchen, 
also  served  as  a  bed  room  and  general  living 
quarters,  lighted,  and  heated,  by  an  old  oil 
lamp.  The  .books  were  impossible.  I  tried 
hard  to  find  something  of  interest,  but  I 
could  not.  I  hated  to  leave;  she  seemed  so 
badly  up  against  it,  and  wondered  if  I  had 
not  better  offer  to  buy  all  the  books  and 
then  dispose  of  them  to  the  junkman  as 
paper.  That  seemed  the  best  way  out  of  it. 
As  I  sat  there  seeking  for  words,  an  old 
hide-covered  trunk,  the  kind  with  the  hair 
on,  poked  itself  into  my  eye.  I  remarked  that 
it  was  a  fine  old  trunk,  and  husband  Jim  re- 
plied that  it  had  belonged  to  bis  grand- 
mother, who  had  recently  passed  on  from 
the  State  of  Massachusetts  to  a  better  world. 
Of  course  I  wanted  to  know,  "What  is  in  the 
trunk,  anything?"  "No,  nothing  but  a  lot 
of  old  letters." 

It  has  been  said  that  in  my  early  years 
when  mother  wanted  me,  she  generally  found 
me  in  a  corner  of  the  library  with  a  stamp 
catalog,  a  purloined  glass  of  crab  apple  jelly 
and  a  large  piece  of  cake.  I  suggested  that 
perhaps  grandma  had  known  somebody  of 
importance  in  her  day  and  that  among  the 
letters  there  might  be  some  of  interest  to 
me.  I  imagined  I  could  hear  Jim  and  his 
wife  groan  internally  at  such  a  foolish  idea, 
but  they  were  perfectly  willing  that  I  should 
look  at  the  letters. 

As  I  lifted  the  lid  I  got  a  fine  odor  of 
damp,  mould  and  general  decay  and  I  could 
hear  myself  coughing  all  the  next  week.  One 
look  at  the  top  layer  was  enough  for  me,  and 
I  turned  to  Mrs.  Jim  and  said  that  if  she 
needed  a  little  ready  money  at  once,  I  had 
ten  dollars  that  she  could  have,  as  I  felt  sure 
I  was  going  to  find  something  that  I  could 
use.  My  offer  was  immediately  accepted, 
and  Jim,  picking  up  an  empty  medicine  bottle 
and  a  market  basket,  made  a  quick  exk. 

I  shall  not  go  into  all  the  harrowing  de- 
tails, but  sometime  later  while  I  was  still 
taking  letters  out  of  their  covers  and  piling 
the  covers  on  the  table,  a  knock  was  heard 
at  the  outer  door,  and  my  wife  with  our  eld- 
est son,  aged  ten,  as  a  protector,  wanted  to 
know  if  I  were  there.  She  had  visions  of  my 
being  run  over  by  a  milk  wagon,  held  up 
by  highwaymen  or  having  had  heart  failure. 


March  25.  1922

I  departed  with  her,  and  she  told  me  quite 
a  few  common  sense  things  on  the  way  home, 
that  I  hadn't  realized  while  looking  over 
those  stamps.  But  how  did  I  know  it  was 
past  midnight  ? 

Down  in  the  bottom  of  the  trunk,  next  day, 
was  a  very  special  treasure  of  grandma's 
youth  in  the  shape  of  love  letters,  wrapped 
like  a  Sam  Lazarus  steak,  one  outside  the 
other,  in  two  copies  of  a  broadside  entitled 
"Times  Portraiture  Being  the  Carrier's  Ad- 
dress to  the  Patrons  of  the  Salem  Gazette 
For  the  First  of  January.  1838."  This  was 
written  by  Hawthorne  for  the  carriers,  but 
published  anonymously,  and  is  now  very  rare. 
The  outer  copy  was  beyond  recall,  but  the 
inner  copy,  like  Sam's  steak,  was  all  to  the 
(good.  And  Jim's  wife  got  half  the  proceeds 
from  the  trunk's  contents. 

Books  are  Royal  Gifts 

WHEN  the  complete  list  of  the  wedding 
presents  to  Princess  Mary  was  printed 
in  the  London  Times,  it  was  seen  that  approx. 
imately  every  tenth  present  was  a  book.  This 
gave  a  happy  confirmation  to  the  growing 
belief  in  this  country  that  books  have  a  far 
wider  importance  as  wedding  presents  than 
has  ever  been  recognized.  That  there  is  an 
immense  range  of  literature  perfectly  appro- 
priate to  gifts  is  shown  by  the  titles  on  the  list. 
As  one  would  expect,  Bibles,  Prayer  Books, 
church  hymnals  and  even  the  Apocrypha. 
Among  the  poetry  there  was  "The  Oxford 
Book  of  English'  Verse,"  "The  Oxford  Book 
of  Ballads,"  Tennyson's  works,  Homer's 
"Odyssey,"  Burns's  "Poems."  "The  Romaunt 
of  the  Rose,"  "Poems"  of  Rupert  Brooke, 
"The  Rubaiyat  of  Omar  Khayyam"  and  the 
poetry  of  Francis  Thompson.  Books  of  art 
included  illustrated  volumes  on  Thomas  Gains- 
borough, "The  Van  Eycks  and  Their  Follow- 
ers," Hogarth's  works.  There  were  books  of 
travel  such  as  "Travels  in  Italy"  and  "The 
Channel  Islands,"  sets  of  reference  books  and 
an  atlas  of  the  world,  outdoor  books  such  as 
"Beautiful  Flowers  and  How  to  'Grow  Them." 
"Birds  One  Should  Know,"  "Gardens,  Their 
Form  and  Design,"  "Trees  and  Shrubs,"  stand- 
ard sets  such  as  Thackeray's  novels,  Kipling's 
works,  Browning's  works,  Jane  Austen's 
novels.  There  was  a  book  called  "The  Destiny 
of  America,"  one  on  "The  History  of  China 
Porcelain"  and  "The  History  of  Furniture  in 
England,"  "The  History  of  Lace,"  a  devo- 
tronal  book  entitled  "Daily  Life"  and  a  volume 
entitled  "The  Book  of  Wedding  Days." 

Hon.  Herbert  Asquith.  former  prime  min- 
ister, presented  the  copy  of  The  Rubaiyat, 
Lord  and  Lady  Tennyson  gave  the  set  of 
Tennyson's  works  and  Lord  Haldane  and  his 
daughter,  the  set  of  Jane  Austin. 


The  Younger  Generation 
at  the  Civic  Club 

ESIDES  directing  the  editorial  destinies  of 
the  Bookman  to  a  remarkable  growth,  John 
Farrar  has  been  keeping  his  interest  in  other 
aspects  of  book  promotion  as  was  shown  in  the 
Bookman  Week  at  Wanamaker's  last  fall  and 
again  instanced  in  the  book  evening  held  at  the 
Civic  Club  in  New  York  on  March  8th.  Mary 


JOH.V     FARRAR    AS    "THE    GOSSIP" 


Frank  of  the  Library  Committee  of  the  Club 
charged  one  book  in  lieu  of  admission  ticket, 
and  it  did  not  need  to  be  a  new  one.  Thus 
many  volumes  were  added  to  the  Club  Library. 
Mr.  Farrar,  dressed  as  The  Gossip,  gave  an 
informal  talk  and  then  introduced  to  the  plat- 
form some  of  the  writers  present  including 
Max  Bodenheim,  John  V.  A.  Weaver,  Burton 
Rascoe,  Herbert  S.  Gorman  and  Dorothy 
Spe.ire.  To  this  group  Mr.  Farrar  put  such 
questions  as,  "What  is  the  younger  genera- 
tion?" "What  do  you  think  of  book  publicity 
as  it  is  done  today?"  "Is  there  literary  log- 
rolling?" "What  do  you  think,  of  H.  L. 
Mencken?"  These  questions  evoked  stimulat- 
ing and  witty  replies  and  started  discussion  in 
which  the  audience  joined.

Mapping  the  United  States 

A  BILL  has  been  introduced  into  Congress 
to  provide  the  funds  from  which  the 
topographic  mapping  of  the  United 
States  shall  ibe  completed  wfithin  twenty 
years.  Congressman  Temple,  sponsor  for  the 
Bill,  believes  that  it  would  require  forty  million 
dollars  in  all  to  complete  the  work.  The  United 
States  established  the  Geographic  Survey  in 
1789,  altho  the  first  map  and  survey,  that  of 
Chesapeake  Bay,  made  by  Captain  John  Smith, 
was  executed  three  hundred  years  ago.  It  was 
not  until  1889  that  Congress  made  the  first 
specific  appropriation  for  these  surveys.  Each 
year  there  have  been  additions  until  forty- 
three  per  cent  of  the  continental  United  States 
has  been  mapped,  altho  not  more  than  thirty- 
five  per  cent  is  adequately  mapped.  The  pro- 
cess of  surveying  a  country  and  of  represent- 
ing adequately  to  the  eye  the  information  that 
the  public  desires  is  of  so  special  a  character 
and  of  such  general  interest  to  users  and 
handlers  of  books  that  the  PUBLISHERS' 
WEEKLY  has  planned  a  series  of  articles  on 
how  maps  are  made.  Dr.  Alfred  Sidney  John- 
son, connected  with  the  United  States  map  de- 
partment of  Rand  McNally  &  Company  has 
been  asked  to  write  on  how  the  information  is 
gathered  and  how  it  is  visualized  by  the  means 
of  line  and  color.  These  articles  will  appear 
in  April  numbers. 

London  Book-Trade  Strike 

ACCORDING  to  the  most  recent  English 
papers,  the  strike  in  the  English  book- 
trade  which  has  been  seriously  hamper- 
ing the  book  business  there  is  still  unsettled. 
The  strike  began  on  February  18,  as  a  result 
of  a  dispute  between  the  Book  Trade  Em- 
ployers' Federation,  representing  the  majority 
of  London  publishers  and  the  National  Union 
of  Printing  and  Paper  Workers  to  which 
belong  most  of  the  warehousemen  and  packers 
employed  in  London  publishing  offices.  The  dis- 
pute was  one  about  wages.  A  small  reduc- 
tion, especially  as  compared  to  those  in  other 
trades,  was  made  in  the  autumn  of  1921.  At 
the  beginning  of  1922,  a  further  demand  for  a 
reduction  of  ten  shillings  per  week  was  made 
by  the  publishers,  which  they  later  reduced  to 
five  shillings.  The  Printing  and  Paper  Work- 
ers' Union  resisted  even  the  smaller  wage 
reduction  and  suggested  as  a  compromise  a 
reduction  of  half  a  crown  on  February  I7th  and 
a  further  half  crown  on  March  4th.  A  gen- 
eral ballot  of  the  Union  at  a  London  meeting 
rejected  this  last  proposal.  The  employers  re- 
plied by  issuing  a  notice  for  a  reduction  of 
five  shillings,  whereupon  the  Union  called  the 
strike. 


The  Union  contends  that  its  members  now 
receive  slightly  lower  wages  than  those  paid 
by  printers  to  corresponding  grades  of  labor 
and  that  no  reduction  in  the  publishing  trade 
was  admissible  that  had  not  also  been  agreed 
upon  for  the  printing  trade. 

The  Employers'  Federation  contends  that 
packers  and  warehousemen  in  publishing 
houses  now  receive  a  higher  wage  than  those 
in  large  retail  distributing  houses  altho  less 
skill  is  required  in  the  work  of  the  publishing 
houses.  The  publishers  also  say  that  tho  they 
made  no  attempt  to  resist  the  recurrent  in- 
creases in  wages  while  the  cost  of  living  was 
rising,  they  found  that  they  were  swept  into 
expenditures  which  absorbed  more  of  the  pro- 
fits than  the  trade  could  endure,  because  de- 
mands upon  them  always  accompanied  the  in- 
creases paid  by  the  large  magazine  and  news- 
paper publishers.  The  book  publishers  thus 
found  themselves  drawn  into  an  undesirable 
connection.  The  attitude  of  the  Publishers' 
Federation  is  now  taken  to  attain  two  objects : 
what  it  regards  as  a  necessary  wage  cut  and 
the  severing  of  an  intangible  but  definite  con- 
nection. 

Cheap  Editions  in  London 

REPORTS  in  the  English  book-trade  papers 
and  London  newspapers  have  carried  very 
considerable  discussion  on  the  question  of  the 
cheap  editions,  and  their  changing  prices.  A 
few  years  ago,  the  cheap  reprint  in  England  was 
priced  at  about  7d.  These  books  were  made  in 
small  form,  sometimes  I2mo  plates  trimmed 
down,  but  more  often  from  new  type  for  the 
smaller  page.  The  books  were  printed  on  news- 
print paper  and  bound  very  simply  in  cloth  with 
bright  jackets.  At  the  price  at  which  these 
were  issued  there  was  extremely  little  royalty 
for  the  author  and  very  little  margin  for  the 
publisher  or  retailer. 

From  the  men  in  the  trenches  there  came  a 
greatly  increased  demand  for  light  fiction  and 
at  the  same  time  greatly  increased  costs  of  man- 
ufacture. The  price  for  such  series  finally  set- 
tled at  about  two  shillings  and  sixpence,  where 
they  were  at  the  end  of  the  war.  With  the 
clearing  up  of  war  conditions  more  firms  went 
heavily  into  the  field  of  supplying  these  re- 
prints, which  seemed  to  promise  the  best 
chance  for  quick  return  for  a  publishing  invest- 
ment. For  distribution  they  relied  not  only 
on  the  bookstores  but  on  the  widely  scattered 
news  stalls. 

From  the  current  reports  it  would  seem  that 
so  great  was  the  enthusiasm  among  the  pub- 
lishers to  produce  these  series  that  all  caution 
as  to  production  quantity  was  thrown  to  the 
winds  with  the  result  that  the  market  was 
flooded  with  supplies  of  these  books.  It  began 


March  25,  1922

to  'be  found,  also,  that  buyers  of  cheap  series 
were-  discriminating  as  well  as  buyers  of 
higher  priced  'books  and  that  many  titles  that 
had  been  manufactured  did  not  sell  at  all. 
Within  the  past  few  months  many  publishers 
of  these  series  ihave  been  searching  for  out- 
lets, but  have  found  these  difficult  to  obtain, 
as  lowered  prices  in  the  retail  stores  did  not 
seem  to  create  increased  demand  from  a 
doubting  public.  During  the  winter  great 
quantities  of  these  have  been  thrown  on  the 
market.  One  report  tells  of  a  lot  of  several 
hundred  thousand  which  were  sold  at  about 
3d.  One  publisher,  writing  to  the  London 
Times,  speaks  of  one  sale  of  a  hundred  thou- 
sand ibooks  at  three  pence  halfpenny  and 
believes  that  a  million  could  be  had  at  this 
price. 

A  large  producer  has  now  announced  that 
he  will  make  regularly  a  new  one  shilling  series 
instead  of  series  at  the  former  levels,  but  the 
current  reports  do  not  indicate  that  these  may 
prove  any  more  needed  than  the  supply  now 
in  sight. 

That  the  whole  book  market  has  been 
thrown  off  by  this  overproduction  and  editions 
created  that  will  hurt  general  book  distribu- 
tion this  spring  seems  indicated  by  the  reports. 
Geoffrey  Williams,  President  of  the  Publish- 
ers' Association  of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland, 
writes :  "Paper  still  costs  about  double  what 
it  did  before  the  war.  The  price  of  binding 
is  still  more  than  twrice  what  it  was,  while 
in  printing  there  has  been  hardly  any  reduc- 
tion at  all,  so  that  it  is  still  nearly  three 
times  the  pre-war  cost." 

The  American  reader  has  never  cared  for 
those  small  sized  reprints  like  the  familiar 
product  in  the  English  market,  but  has  pre- 
ferred the  I2tno  book  on  book  paper  such  as 
is  supplied  here  at  seventy-five  cents. 

The  Unpretentious  Method 

« CHOCK  openings,  dramatic  first  sentences. 

^and  firework  beginnings  in  sales  letters  are 
rapidly  disappearing  from  the  literature  of 
those  who  know,"  says  Marketing. 

"There  are  still  houses  in  the  United  States 
and  Canada  that  think  it  very  clever  to  fire 
verbal  howitzers  at  customers  in  direct-mail  lit- 
erature, in  order  to  attract  favorable  attention. 

"Experience  has  shown,  thru  years  of  experi- 
ment, that  people  are  no  more  anxious  to  be 
shocked,  or  to  be  treated  unconventionally  in 
letters,  than  they  are  to  have  the  same  treat- 
ment face  to  face.  This  is  the  era  of  the  quiet, 
unpretentious  message.  Fortunate  is  the  direct- 
mail  advocate  who  uses  these  tactics  in  his  form 
letters  and  printed  material,  just  as  he  does  in 
his  dictated  letters." 


Ladies'  Night  in  Philadelphia 

THE   Philadelphia  Booksellers'  Association, 
held  its  annual  Ladies'  Night  on  the  even- 
ing of  March  i6th,  at  the  Bellevue-Strat- 
ford  Hotel.    Peter  Roilly,  the  president,  in  a 
most  optimistic  speech,  referred  to  the  healthy 
condition    of    the    trade    as    he    found    it    and 
argued   that  the  splendid  attendance   was  but 
another  manifestation  that  all's  well  with  the 
book  business. 

The  toastmaster,  Charles  C.  Shoemaker, 
with  his  inimitable  humor,  introduced  the 
speakers.  Katherine  Haviland  Taylor,  author 
of  "Cross  Currents"  was  the  first  speaker. 
Miss  Taylor  is  a  winsome  little  lady  of  winning 
charm  "a  dainty  bit  of  Haviland"  and  in  a 
naive  little  speech  quickly  endeared  herself  to 
her  hearers. 

The  next  speaker  was  Annie  Carroll  Moore, 
chief  children's  librarian  of  the  New  York 
Library.  Miss  Moore  spoke  on  the  great  work 
the  librarians  were  accomplishing  in  inculcating 
in  the  child  a  love  for  the  beautiful  in  litera- 
ture and  illustration. 

The  last  speaker  on  the  program  was  Violet 
Oakley,  illustrator,  designer  of  the  mural  dec- 
orations in  the  Pennsylvania  State  Capitol  and 
recipient  of  many  gold  medals  and  degrees. 
Miss  Oakley  criticised  the  publishers'  output 
as  the  artist  sees  it,  saying  binding  should 
bear  the  relation  to  the  book  a  soul  bears  to 
the  body  and  that  both  should  be  an  artistic 
whole.  The  "jackets,"  often  the  publisher's 
pride,  came  in  for  a  very  severe  criticism.  Of 
course.  Miss  Oakley  can  only  view  the  jacket 
from  the  artist's  standpoint ;  as  a  merchandis- 
ing help,  as  Morris  Perlmutter  might  say 
"that's  something  else  again.'' 

Eugene  Herr,  President  of  the  American 
Booksellers'  Association,  was  present  and  in- 
terestingly outlined  the  tentative  plans  of  the 
Washington  convention.  He  expressed  the 
hope  that  Philadelphia  would  send  a  big  dele- 
gation and  said  that  he  would  guarantee  all 
would  return  "much  refreshed." 

Trained  Men  Needed 

IN  an  address  before  the  New  York  School 
of  Commerce,  Dean  Joseph  F.  Johnson  said 
that  in  his  opinion  the  days  of  the  school  of 
hard  knocks  were  over  and  that  the  commer- 
cial and  industrial  leaders  would  be  drawn 
from  schools  of  commerce.  Among  business 
callings  that  he  listed  as  those  which  would 
he  gradually  lifted  to  a  professional  status  he 
included  book  publishing  and  merchandising 
along  with  advertising,  insurance,  industrial 
engineering,  journalism,  transportation,  broker- 
age.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Books  By  Radiophone 

CHILDREN'S  Book  Week  every  week  is 
likely  to  result  from  the  arrangement 
which  the  Kadio  Corporation  has  just  made 
with  Harper  &  Brothers  whereby  each  week 
one  of  the  Bubble  Books  will  be  read  and 
sung  at  the  Westinghouse  Station  in  Newark. 
A  demonstration  which  was  made  last  Sunday 
proved  entirely  successful.  Mr.  Mayhew,  the 
originator  of  this  delightful  series  for  chil- 
dren, himself  read  the  verses  after  which  the 
records  that  were  especially  made  for  the 
Bubble  Books  were  put  on  a  phonograph  and 
the  music  was  then  radiophoned. 

Mr.  Mayhew  was  heard  distinctly,  and  the 
records  were  said  to  be  the  'best  which  have 
yet  been  used  for  this  purpose. 

Mr.  Mayhew,  now  better  known  as  The  Bub- 
ble Man,  plans  to  invite  children  to  corres- 
pond with  him  and  have  their  questions  ans- 
wered by  him,  by  radio. 

It  is  estimated  that  the  Bubble  Books  will 
'be  heard  in  from  three  hundred  to  four  hun- 
dred thousand  homes.  Such  extensive  publicity 
for  books  must  benefit  not  only  this  already 
popular  series,  but  it  should  also  stimulate 
childrens'  interest  in  books  generally. 

The  Bubble  Books  will  be  a  regular  weekly 
feature  of  the  radio  program  every  Sunday 
evening  between  6.30  and  7.00  o'clock. 

Jingle  Contest 

Dodd  Mead  &  Co.  announce  a  jingle  contest. 
They  offer  an  autographed  copy  of  George 
Barr  McCutcheon's  new  story,  "Yollop"  for 
an  acceptable  limerick  or  jingle  based  on 
that  story.  The  publishers  print  two  examples. 

I. 

George   Barr   McCutcheon's  book  "Yollop" 
Is  about  an  old  guy  with   a  wallop 
Who  captured  a   thug 
Sent  him  up  to  the  jug 
Now,  wasn't  old  Yollop  the  trollop! 

II. 
Sing  a  song  of  Sing  Sing 

The  home   of   lucky    guys 
Twenty  years   or   life  term 

Is  nothing  to  despise. 

Baseball   games   or   movies 

The  day  is  one   sweet  song 
Free  board,    free  clothes,   free  everything 

Be  wise,  old  dear,  Go  wrong! 

A  contributor  adds  the  following  to  Walter 
Hart  Blumenthal's  "Culled  From  an  Auction 
Catalog." 

"Behold  the  Woman."     In  a  pink  urapper. 


New  Book  Posters 

HPHE  Religious  Book  Week  poster  in  six 
*  colors  with  its  lettering  "Good  Books  Are 
Life  Teachers"  has  gone  out  in  large  quantity. 
It  has  also  'been  reprinted  in  post-card  size  in 
black  and  white  with  part  of  the  back  space 
used  for  quotation  from  Dr.  Barton's  com- 
ment on  the  Religious  Book  Week  idea.  These 
cards  would  be  especially  appropriate  for 
booksellers,  libraries  or  others  to  use  in  oon~ 
nection  with  Book  Week  promotion  and  can 
be  bought  from  the  headquarters  at  334  Fifth 
Avenue  at  the  lo'w  price  of  $i  per  100. 

The  four  color  poster  by  Mr.  Norstad  with 
the  lettering  "Back  to  Nature  Books"  is  to  be 
the  feature  of  April  promotion.  This  poster  is 
full  of  life  and  human  interest  and  will  prove, 
perhaps,  the  most  attractive  poster  this  year. 
In  the  post-card  size  it  has  been  printed  in  two 
colors,  red  and  green  with  the  back  blank.  It 
can  be  purchased  for  $1.35  per  100  from  the 
Committee.  It  will  prove  an  ideal  method  of 
listing]  nature  books  for  a  dealer  to  send  out 
to  his  customers.

Obituary 


HENRY  B.  SMITH 

HENRY  B.  SMITH,  who  has  made  the  Coast 
trip  for  Thomas  Nelson  &  Sons  for  the  past 
twenty  years,  died  at  his  home  in  Plainfie'.d, 
N.  J.,  on  March  I3th.  He  had  been  in  pre- 
carious health  for  more  than  a  year,  but  his 
death  came  unexpectedly.  He  was  born  among 
books,  as  it  were,  having  been  taken  into  his 
father's  store  as  soon  as  he  left  school.  His 
father,  Daniel  Smith,  in  1825,  established  him- 
self in  the  book  business,  which  is  still  con- 
ducted by  Henry  B.  Smith's  brother,  N.  S. 
Smith — 'the  oldest  business  house  in  and  about 
Newburgh.  Ambitious  to  work  in  a  larger 
field,"  Henry  came  to  New  York  City  and  ob- 
tained a  position  with  Baker,  Pratt  &  Co..  the 
predecessors  of  Baker  &  Taylor  Co.  He  re- 
mained only  a  short  time  with  them,  leaving  to 
take)  charge  of  the  sales  department  of  George 
Routledge  &  Sons.  Aifter  several  years'  service 
in  that  position,  owing  to  the  illness  of  one  of 
the  firm's  travelers,  he  took  his  place  on  the 
road  and  continued  until  1894,  when  he  joined 
the  traveling  force  of  Thomas  Nelson  &  Sons. 
Mr.  Smith,  tho  quiet  and  reserved  in  manner, 
won  many  friends  on  his  circuit,  who  loved  and 
honored  him  for  his  ihonesty,  courtesy  and  other 
gracious  characteristics. 

Communications 

AMERICAN  BOOKS  IN   PARIS 
Editor,   PUBLISHERS'   WEEKLY: 

The  letter  from  Alfred  A.  Knopf  printed 
in  the  PUBLISHERS'  WEEKLY,  August  20.  and 
particularly  his  statement  that  "Of  fifteen 
French  publishers  he  found  only  four  who 
could  speak  English"  was  of  great  interest 
to  me  because  at  that  time  I  expected  to  be- 


come director  of  the  Amercan  Library  in 
Paris.  I  have  now  been  here  long  enough  to 
feel  that  there  is  more  to  be  sarid  on  the  sub- 
ject. Undoubtedly  Mr.  Knopf  will  agree 
with  me. 

In  the  first  place  French  publishers  and 
booksellers  are  organized  to  meet  the  needs 
of  the  French  people,  and  this  is  a  need  pri- 
marily for  borks  in  the  French  language,  and 
books  about  French  affairs.  Because,  how- 
ever, of  the  growth  of  a  large  English-speak- 
ing colony  in  Paris  there  have  developed  with- 
in the  last  generation  or  two  several  well- 
known  houses  which  have  made  a  specialty  of 
books  in  the  English  language,  Brentano's, 
Galignani's  and  Smith's.  And  since  the  war 
there  has  developed  also  a  new  interest  among 
French  readers  in  American  thought,  institu- 
tions, and  public 'affairs. 

This  is  not,  however,  sufficient  to  warrant 
every  'bookseller  in  stocking  American  books, 
any  more  than  every  American  bookseller  is 
warranted  in  stocking  French  books.  But  it 
does  warrant  greater  efforts  on  the  part  of 
"those  who  are  now  specializing  in  this  branch 
of  service,  particularly  ii  America  is  to  be 
known  by  its  best  instead  of  by  its  worst  as 
Mr.  Knopf  fears  it  is  at  present.  It  is  with  a 
view  to  promoting  the  efforts  of  publishers 
to  secure  a  better  distribution  of  American 
books  in  France  and  other  countries  of  Europe 
that  the  Association  of  American  book  pub- 
lishers has  asked  me  to  serve  as  its  European 
representative.  And  it  is  with  this  in  view 
that  I  am  making  every  effort  to  secure  more 
adequate  discussion  of  American  books  in  the 
reviews  and  journals.  French  and  English 
published  here  in  Paris  Not  every  French- 
man can  speak  English,  but  every  Frenchman 
of  intelligence,  I  believe  would  like  to  "be  able 
to  read  it. 

Very  truly  yours.

Mr.  Bowker  made  a  series  of  motor  trips  that 
covered  all  the  famous  spots  of  this  beautiful 
tho  little  known  island,  and  incidentally  made 
a  survey  of  the  public  library  situation  there.

Rare  Books,  Autographs  and  Prints 


RARE   Americana   including   pamphlets   on 
the  French  and  Indian  War,  the  embargo 
and  the  War  of  1812,  Shakers,  Mormons, 
Free  Masonry,  the  Early  West,  and  California 
mining  properties  will  be  sold  by  the  Hartman 
Auction    Company,    at    Perth    Amboy,    N.    J., 
April  i. 

At  the  Ehrich  Galleries  Walter  Tuttle  is 
holding  an  exhibition  of  dry  points,  most  of 
them  portraits  of  important  personages  con- 
nected with  the  war.  Twenty-two,  done  from 
life,  are  of  the  chief  members  of  the  recent 
Conference  on  the  Limitation  of  Armament  at 
Washington.  • 

The  new  book  by  Jane  Austen  promised  next 
month  will  bear  the  title  "Love  and  Friend- 
ship" a  short  novel  written  in  the  author's 
youth  and  is  now  first  published  from  the 
original  manuscript.  Miniatures  from  the 
brush  of  Cassandra  Austen  have  been  repro- 
duced as  end  papers  and  a  page  of  the  original 
manuscript  appears  in  facsimile.  It  is  reported 
that  American  collectors  are  already  alive  to 
the  opportunity. 

James  F.  Drake,  rare  book  dealer,  has  pur- 
chased the  Gilbert  Collection,  the  library  of  a 
Massachusetts  collector.  The  collection  is  of 
moderate  siize  but  rich  in  rarities  of  all  periods 
generally  in  the  finest  condition.  For  instance 
here  are  the  Four  Folios  of  Shakespeare  and 
first  editions  of  other  Elizabethan  dramatists ; 
the  first  issue  of  the  first  edition  of  Spenser's 
"Faerie  Queene;"  first  editions  of  -Keats, 
Shelley,  Byron  and  Scott;  the  novels  of  Dick- 
ens and  Thackeray  in  parts  including  "The 
Pickwick  Papers"  and  "Vanity  Fair" ;  the  rare 
first  edition  of  Fitzgerald's  translation  of  the 
"Rubaiyat  of  Omar  Khayyam;"  and  many 
choice  first  editions  of  English  and  American 
authors  of  the  last  century.  It  was  just  the 
kind  of  library  that  Mr.  Drake  could  handle 
to  the  best  advantage  and  he  has  already  sold 
many  of  the  rarer  lots. 

The  exhibition  of  prints  in  the  display  of 
native  graphic  arts  at  the  American  Academy 
of  Arts  and  Letters  contains  many  fine  ex- 
amples of  leading  American  wood  engravers, 
living  and  dead.  Timothy  Cole,  and  Childe 
Hassam  and  Joseph  Pennell  who  constitute 
the  committee  responsible  for  the  graphic  arts 
show,  has  added,1  a  few  words  on  wood  engrav- 
ing to  the  catalog.  Tn  what  he  calls  the  pres- 
ent moribund  condition  of  reproductive  wood 
engraving,  he  mentions  "Watt,  Evans  and  my- 
self" as  three  workers  "who  manage  yet  to  be 


warmed  by  the  fire  of  the  box  wood  tree."  In 
passing  he  notes  that  it  was  he  himself  who 
discovered  the  "peculiar  value  of  Japanese  tis- 
sue for  proving,"  names  "the  one  place  in  New 
York  where  box  wood 'is  made  up  into  blocks 
for  engravers:  J.  Johnson,  125  Fulton  Street, 
third  flight  up,"  and  recommends  "Pears  face 
powder"  for  dusting  white  into  the  cut  lines 
before  retouching. 

The  new  O.  Henry  volume  "Letters  to 
Lithbpolis"  with  nine  short  letters  and  a  long 
introduction  by  Mabel  Wagnalls,  limited  to 
427  copies,  printed  in  a  thin,  handsome  octavo, 
is  priced  at  $10  doubtless  on  the  theory  that  O. 
Henry  collectors  must  have  it.  But  it  is  not 
always  safe  to  take  too  much  for  granted;  col- 
lectors do  not  always  come  up  to  expectations. 
There  have  been  several  instances  recently 
when  publishers  have  been  disappointed  partly 
because  they  overestimated  the  spending  pro- 
pensities of  book  buyers.  The  English  rare 
book  trade  after  the  war  thought  that  they  had 
an  easy  job  to  put  it  over  on  the  "rich  and  ig- 
norant American  collectors,"  and  some  of  these 
greedy  booksellers  have  learned  at  the  ex- 
pense of  considerable  business  that  American 
collectors  after  all  are  not  "easy  marks."  They 
are  doubtless  good  sports  in  open  competition 
but  they  are  frequently  very  close  and  very 
calculating  when  it  comes  to  private  sales  or 
the  purchase  even  of  limited  editions. 

A  singular  relic  was  sold  last  week  at  the 
Silo  Galleries.  It  was  a  copy  of  the  New 
Testament  bound  in  black  cloth  and  auto- 
graphed by  Charles  J.  Guiteau  who  assassinated 
President  Garficld.  It  was  one  of  the  numbers 
in  a  sale  of  the  property  of  the  late  Frank  O. 
Probst,  formerly  manager  of  the  Hollenden 
House  in  Cleveland.  With  the  book  was  in- 
cluded an  affidavit  telling  how  it  came  into 
his  possession.  In  1881  he  was  room  clerk  in 
the  Palmer  House,  Chicago.  Early  that  sum- 
mer a  man  came  to  the  hotel  and  engaged  a 
room  from  which  he  disappeared  shortly  after, 
leaving  his  belongings  which  the  room  clerk 
put  away,  thinking  that  he  might  return.  On 
July  2  the  news  came  that  the  President  had 
been  assassinated  and  the  name  of  the  assassin 
seeming  familiar  to  Probst  he  examined  the 
property  left  by  the  deserting  guest  of  the 
Palmer  House  and  in  the  book  found  the  auto- 
graph of  Guiteau. 

The  last  half  of  last  week  was  a  busy  period 
at  the  American  Art  Galleries.  On  March  15 
and  16  first  editions,  library  sets  and  an  ex- 
tensive collection  of  Cruikshankiana  formed 
by  the  late  John  P.  Woodbury  of  Boston  was 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


sold,  the  959  lots  bringing  $11,277.  Ireland's 
"Life  of  Napoleon  Bonaparte,"  4  vols.,  with 
colored  plates  by  George  Craikshank,  con- 
temporary calf,  London,  1823-28,  first  edition 
of  the  Cumberland  issue,  sold  for  $170;

$90;  Westmacott's  "Tihe  English  Spy,"  2 
vols.,  contemporary  calf,  London,  1825-26,  fine 
large  copy  of  the  first  edition,  $180.  The 
Cntiksihank  colleqtion  was  generally  not  in 
the  condition  or  the  rarer  items  did  not  pos- 
sess the  points  which  discriminating  collectors 
demand,  and,  in  consequence,  prices  were  low. 
On  March  17  rare  Americana,  including  books, 
manuscripts,  views,  maps  and  portraits,  mainly 
relating  to  California  and  the  West,  the  prop- 
erty of  John  Mack,  of  Albany;  H.  R.  Wagner, 
of  Berkeley,  Cal.,  and  other  consignees,  were 
sold,  realizing  $5,539*  An  original  crayon  por- 
trait by  Eastman  Johnson,  of  Dolly  Madison, 
wife  of  President  Madison,  dated  March, 
1846,  went  to  E.  F.  Bonaventure  for  $305.  A 
complete  set  of  Hutching's  Illustrated.  Cali- 
fornia Magazine  July,  1856,  to  June,  1861,  a 
California  item  of  great  rarity,  was  bought  by 
Ernest  Dressel  North  for  $230.  An  engraved 
portrait  by  Doolittle,  of  President  John  Adams 
was  sold  to  Robert  Friedenberg  for  $115.  On 
March  17  and  18  Civil  War  books,  autographs, 
views,  correspondence  of  Confederate  officers, 
views  of  American  cities  and  the  Charles  B. 
Reed  collection  of  Lincolniana  was  sold.  The 
Lincolndana  brought  $1,235.50  and  the  entire 
sale  $2,386.  There  was  very  little  in  the  two 
sessions  that  was  rare,  and  many  books  went 
for  low  prices.  There  are  bound  to  be  many 
bargains  in  the  less  important  sales  and  book- 
lovers  and  dealers,  who  care  for  the  more 
ordinary  books,  will  find  it  worth  while  to 
keep  a  careful  watch  of  them.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


INVESTIGATION  by  The  Business  Survey 
A  of  The  Chicago  Tribune  has  shown  that  the 
present  method  of  selling  books  is  due  for  revi- 
sion; that  books  can  be  sold  as  other  manufac- 
tured commodities  are  sold. 

CONSIDER,  for  instance,  the  question  of 
distribution.  There  are  less  than  a  hundred 
places  in  Chicago  where  you  can  buy  books,  yet 
there  are  over  seven  thousand  consumer  outlets 
for  a  well  advertised  food  product.  The  manu- 
facturer of  the  food  product  sells  in  quantities; 
he  has  learned  that  adequate  distribution, 
followed  and  maintained  by  consistent,  con- 
tinuous advertising  in  efficient  media  is  pre- 
requisite to  the  sale  of  his  product.  The  average 
book  publisher  scatters  his  wares  upon  a  market 
that  has  not  been  properly  prepared  for  their 
reception,  and  "opes  everything  will  come  out  all 
right!'  But  it  hasn't  been  done,  so  it  can't 
be  done ! 


The  Business  Survey  ef  The  Chicago  Tribune 

will  be  glad  to  discuss  with  any  publisher  its 

proposals  for   the   improvement   of 

book    advertising.
