The Ayes Have It! 

Out of the welter of conflicting reviews and opinions 
that have greeted (and shown the tremendous inter- 
est in) Henry Sydnor Harrison's SAINT TERESA, 
the fact emerges that the praise far overbalances 
the attacks. These few brief extracts are typical 
of the great majority of the early reviews. 



"Certainly the most powerful novel of 
the present season. . . In this book Mr. 
Harrison is at hiis best." — America. 

"A vivid and fascinating creation." 
— Chicago Neivs. 

"In every way, one of the most notable 
.American novels of recent years." — Wor- 
cester Cassette. 



"A remarkable piece of fiction, a well- 
wrought work of art." — William Lyon 
Phelps in the New York Post. 

"There never was anything better and 
truer and more sincere than the terrible, 
long, hand-to-ihand fight which is the inevi- 
table climax of the 'book." Alice Diier 
Miller in the Nezv York Tribune. 



Take advantage of all this publicity. 
Feature, display and recommend it as 
the leading novel of the Spring.

PRAIRIE CHILD 

It seems astounding that this can be anything other 
than self-disclosure. 

Not an imagined type but a wonderful real woman, 
living and breathing, hoping and loving, seems in- 
evitably to be writing here. 

Through and beyond the personality, so distinct and 
poignant, we glimpse the mind and spirit of universal 
womanhood, the wives and mothers of the race.

THE 

VEHEMENT FLAME 












The 

VEHEM_ENT_FLAME 

AI AKGAKiFlJEIAXl) 







if.- a.- 'i' 

Broad humanity, depth of 
passion, and frequent con- 
trasting passages of quaint 
hunwr combine to make this 
no7'cl a narrative which grips 
the emotions and enthralls 
the reader. 

HARPER & BROTHERS, E.t.bu.hed isi?

by Margaret Deland 

Wi/I be published in May 



rHE VEHEMENT FLAME shows Mrs. Deland writing with the 
same tremendous dramatic power that produced The Azuakcning of 
Helena Richie and The Iron Woman. But this new book in its 
humanity, its passion, its breadth of appeal surpasses any of her pre- 
vious books. The emotional power oif the narrative and the charm 
of Mrs. Deland's style promise to make it a novel of permanence and 
the literary event of the year. 

Tihe theme of the story is jealousy — a slow, insidious poison which 
eats body and soul like some corrosive acid. When Maurice Curtis 
swept Eleanor into a romantic marriage he saw no handicap in the 
disparity of years between them. At nineteen the future assumes a 
roseate hue, and his youthful impetuosity finally overrode the objections 
of the maturer judgment of Eleanor's thirty-nine years. The awak- 
ening was not slow in coming. Youth called to youth and it soon 
dawned upon him that his golden visions of bliss were far from being 
realized. A grapihc picture is then unfolded to the reader of Eleanor, \ i| 

sensing her hold upon her husiband's affections stepping, and a prey 
to a dreadful jealousy, which drives Maurice to an almost tragic || . 

betrayal of his own best instincts. What happens when she discovers ' 
hozv completely their marriage has failed, and the tangled skein which 
they have made of liiife makes a book full of beauty and love, of pas- 
sion and tenderness, and in the end light. 



:i 



In order to facilitate the success which we feel assured this novel 
will attain we are featuring the Vehement Flame in a big National, 
advertising campaign, and special Window and Counter Displays. We 
will imprint Post Cards and make every effort to bring this book 
prominently before the public eye. Price, $200. 



We recommend **The Vehement Flame" as the novel which 
comes probably nearer to making the universal appeal than 
anything published for seasons. Judging by the success 
attained by **The Awakening of Helena Richie" and "The Iron 
Woman" it should become the most talked of book of the year. 
Anticipate your needs and place a generous order now.

THE REFLECTIONS OF A BOOKSELLER 

^^ Living is a fine art and a man who wishes to live 
happily must study the art of living.'^ 

Now and again I find myself wondering whether my daily tasks 
are of value to others besides myself; wondering whether I am 
taking advantage of my opportunities as a bookseller to guide 
the searching readers (my customers) to the books that would be 
profitable and helpful to them. And then it is that I chart my 
course. I say, "'This year I will do constructive work. I will 
avail myself of my opportunities as a bookseller. I will sell books 
that are at once profitable to me and to my customers." 

Rudyard Kipling is the first author I will stress. I can safely say 
to any of my discriminating customers that: 

1. Rudyard Kipling is the greatest English writer now living. 

2. Rudyard Kipling has expressed so much of what the Anglo- 
Saxon race stands for — what it hopes to accomplish — that he has 
a hopeful message for all of us in this period of reconstruction 
when we are all groping for a vision of the future. 

3. To read Kipling is to get the picture of a civilization — tliat of 
my own race, by the way. 

4. Rudyard KipKng is a heritage for you, your family, and par- 
ticularly your children. 

And to myself, as I reflect, I say: 

A. When I guide my customers to Kipling's books, I am guiding 
them to helpful books. 

B. I make a good profit on every sale of Kipling — because, where 
I have sold one volume, I shall sell more. 

C. Kipling sales have increased steadily for ten years, it is wise 
for me to capitalize that momentum. 

D. My frequent complaint is that the book business gives few 
opportunities for a large unit of sale. A set of Kipling makes a 
large unit. Am I salesman enough to effect it? 

E. I will ask my best customers what volumes of Kipling are 
missing from their libraries, and I will encourage the habit of 
recommending a Kipling volume as a birthday and anniversary gift. 

F. Every effort I make to increase the audience and that audi- 
ence's appreciation of Kipling will be constructive bookselling — 
and will be part of my effort toward the healthful and sound re- 
construction of society. 

Kipling's publishers in America are Doubleday, Page & Company, 
who also publish Joseph Conrad, O. Henry, and Booth Tarkington.

THE AMERICAN BOOK TRADE JOURNAL 
Founded by F. Leypoldt 

APRIL I, 1922 

"/ hold everv 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." — Bacx)N. 



RELIGIOUS BOOK WEEK 

April 2-8 



Prices for Old Books 

THE bookseller who has an out-of-print 
volume that does not happen to be in his 
usual field of trading is very likely to 
think that the person who may be advertising 
for it is trying to pick up a bargain in a really 
valuable book. The advertiser consequently 
receives quotations on books at prices all out 
of possible relation to the book quoted. A let- 
ter printed in this number shows that one 
advertiser received from different booksellers 
quotations on one rather common item rang- 
ing from $1.20 to $15. 

It is not a safe presumption that a book 
that has been dropped from the publishers' 
catalog is from that moment a rare item. The 
interchange of such material is important in 
order that the books may reach the places 
where they are really wanted, and quotations 
made without any relation to the value should 
be avoided by dealers. It only creates a feeling 
that they do not know their business, and the 
advertiser receiving many post-cards naturally 
picks the lower priced copies. In the second- 
hand business, as in new book business, rapid 
turnover is of real consequence, and turnover 
is certainly made more rapid by reasonable 
prices. 

Promptness Is Urged 

THOSE who are planning to attend the 
Washington Convention — ^and apparently 
there is to be a record attendance — will 
have to think promptly of hotel accommoda- 
tions, now that April's here. The head- 
quarters for the Convention is to be at the 



New Willard, but the Committee is sending 
out other suggestions to al] the book-trade, so 
that different types of quarters may be ar- 
ranged for. As a great deal of the benefit of 
any convention comes from informal contacts 
Ciutside of the meetings and in the conversations 
that are developed on the trips that the con- 
vention makes, it is worth while to be as cen- 
trally located as possible so as to be with the 
fellow members as large a part of the time as 
possible. Those who are slow in writing are 
always disappointed ; therefore promptness is 
urged. 

What the Milhons Want 

THERE will always be an interest in at- 
tempts to analyze what sways public 
tastes in the manner of best sellers. The 
sweeping success of one or two recent 
books has brought the subject to the front 
again in many reviewing mediums. As a side- 
light on this problem the experience of news- 
papers in their selection of serial fiction ought 
to throw considerable light, as these serials re- 
flect their popularity both in circulation and in 
letters to the editors. Ruth E. Finlay, who was 
for fifteen years connected with newspaper 
work and for seven years was fiction editor for 
the Scripp's interest in Cleveland, has been 
asked by the Publishers' Weekly to give her 
estimate of what the public want in fiction, 
based on the reaction that came to this syndi- : 
cate from the great public who would read the ' 
story when it was given newspaper serializa- \ 
tion. Mrs. Finley's analysis of "What the| 
Miillions Want" appears elsewhere in this ■ 
issue of the Publishers' Weekly. 

Back-to-Nature Books 

THE central theme of the special book pro- 
motion for April is very happily present- 
ed in the poster which Mr. Norstad, the 
artist who produced the summer poster lasr 
year, has made for the Year Round Bookselling 
Committee. Many people connect the drying 
of the sod and the gentler weather of spring 
with complete abandonment of the printed page 
as if the only use of l)ooks were inseparably 
tied to fireplaces and reading lamps. It only 
needs a little special advertising and real selling 
to convince the gardener that he can grow 
larger tomatoes or bluer larkspur if he buys 
the newest garden books, to persuade the house

of the country, about half 
of the buying for the book 
department is done in the 
three months of July, 
August and September, ac- 
cording to statistics gathered 
by the Dry Goods Economist 
from three hundred typical 
stores thruout the country. 
Buying reaches its lowest 
ebb in May, and December 
is the second weakest month. 
The year's figures are as 
follows : 

January 4.5

These figures show the 
importance of the fall sea- 
son to the book-trade, for, if all the books 
purchased in the five months following 
July 1st are sold by January ist, two-thirds 
of the business is done in that time. The 
varying pressure on the selling organization 
of the publishers is also indicated by these 
statistics. 

The statistical tables gathered show the fig- 
ures im all departments, and it is to be noticed 
that August is the heaviest buying month in 
the twelve, taking the store as a whole, Feb- 
ruary and January being also very heavy 
months for buying In the stationery depart- 
ment, the heaviest month is February followed 
by August, September and October. In toys, 
32.1 per cent of the buying is done in the 
month of February.

Cultivating Book Lovers in Rural Communities 

By E. E. Beauchamp 

Director Department of Rural Extension, Drew Theological Seminary, Madison, N. J. 



RELIGIOUS Book Week offers many op- 
portunities to those who make and distribute 
books. It also challenges those who labor 
for wider use of better 'books — and perform this 
labor without added monetary reward. Pub- 
lishers sell books not merely thru selling-wishes ; 
but rather thru selling-methods. Show the book 
producer a new field and a way to reach it and 
trust him to enter it. So those who propagate 
religion will do well to collaborate with those 
who produce books. Such co-operation will 
secure distribution of the kind of reading peo- 
ple in rural communities should have. This 
paper is an invitation to such reciprocity. 

One of the great denominations, the Metho- 
dist Episcopal, has entered a new field of inspir- 
ation and trajining. Thru the Rural Department 
of the Board of Home Missions and the co- 
operation of the administrations, in some thir- 
ty-three of its colleges, universities and theo- 
logical seminaries there are now established 
departments of rural leadership and extension. 
These departments seek to reach, inspire and 
train the youth now being fitted for modern so- 
cial responsibilities. They seek to reach at 
least those coming out of rural communities, 
and hope to inspire them with a true — ^sometimes 
a new — appreciation of and loyalty to the essen- 
tial values of rural life. ' Methods of training 
are devised to fit them ifor the particular tasks 
and the distinctive conditions of the town and 
country situation. These potential leaders are 
being challenged to recognize the hosts "out 
there" who wait but a call to prove themselves 
stalwart followers of a progressive and worthy 
leadership. In addition to this work with stu- 
dents in residence these departments are con- 
cerned with the rural field itself — that great 
neglected source of national character and pros- 
perity whose people are pl^ding in tones that 
make their plea a demand "come over and 
help us." 

The Church and the Farmer 
This last suggested service we call extension 
work — after the analogy of the extra-mural 
courses common to educational institutions to 
some extent ; but more properly after the model 
of the Agricultural College and Experiment 
Station Extension Service in the field. If 
Agricultural Colleges are properly interested in 
the soil of our country-folks, shoiild not the 
church as progressively show her concern for 
their souls? 

In the development of, this activity some sig- 
nificant discoveries are made. Among these 



none is more important than that rural people 
are hungry for good reading, and are poorly 
assisted in finding it. Facts may be men- 
tioned, to prove this. Graded lessons in rural 
SiMiday schools are 'being welcomed with an 
unexfpected eagerness. The coincident com- 
pulsiion upon sdich schools to improve their 
libraries is being willingly accepted as is 
shown by the following incident. A student- 
pastor taking work in Drew Theological 
Seminary came to the Director of the Exten- 
sion Department with an encouraging request. 
In a previous conversation the director had 
declared that rural people will generously 
support any worthy project if it is fairly 
presented to them. This pastor of a small 
rural church had found this true. He was 
asking suggestions as to how he could best 
spend over fifty dollars which his adult Bible 
class had raised in ten minutes the previous 
Sunday for the purpose of buying some study 
helps for their lesson preparation. And they 
had told this pastor if that wasn't enough 
money to tell them and they would raise some 
more. And furthermore it was not raised 
by a supper or entertainment, but out of their 
pockets ! 

New Jersey Plans Farmers' Week 
A venture was made in January, 1922, at 
the annual Farmers' Week gathering at Tren- 
ton, New Jersey. A rural church conference 
had been called by an informal committee 
comiposed of leaders of different denomina- 
tions called together at the invitation of those 
in charge of Farmers' Week preparations. 
Amon^ the plans for this conference adopted 
by the committee was one for a rural church 
exhibit. The various denominations were in- 
vited to participate. Three arranged to do 
so, the Baptist, the Methodist Episcopal, the 
Presbyterian, together with the County 
Y. M. C. A. organiization thru its state secre- 
tary. The exhibit was somewhat hastily 
planned and assembled. One of the finest 
locations in the whole Armory was alloted to 
it, and the management extended every possi- 
ble consideration and courtesy to those in 
charge of the contributions. 

In arranging for this exhibit, the cooperat- 
ing denominations, the County Y, M. C. A. 
and the Extension Department of Drew Semi- 
nary financed the project and provided the 
workers to maintain it. Thru the Home Mis- 
sions Boards it was possible to secure charts, 
literature, sketches, prints, etc., from the vari-

ous bureaus and departments. Plans of 
modern churches, parsonages and homes were 
furnished by the Church Architecture bur- 
eaus. Suirveys and pictures showing rural 
churches and communities at work on a mod- 
ern program were collected and skillfully ar- 
ranged. The book concerns of these denomi- 
nations made up collections of well-selected 
books, periodicals and other publications. 
These were put in charge of special repre- 
sentatives who spent the entire week on the 
ground. Visitors were encouraged to exam- 
ine and a.sk questions regarding the display. 
The larger opportunity of cultivating good 
reading habits was not neglected by these 
trained representatives of a noble industry. 

Getting Action Into the Exhibit 

All of the displays were attractively assem- 
bled and inside the enclosure was mounted a 
steredmotograiph or automatic stereoptican. 
This machine was used to project a continu- 
ous lecture on its self-contained screen. Differ- 
ent home field activities encouraged by the 
various denominations in rural America were 
shown with compelling vividness. 

Early in the week, while the large painted 
sign, bearing the words from the "Psalms" : 

"Every beast of the iorest is mine 

and the cattle on a thousand hills . . . for 
the world is mine and the fullness thereof" 
was being stretched on its frame, an early 
visitor paused to watch the process. Seeing 
only part of the words of the quotation, he 
remarked : "I see you have some cattle up 
your way; well we've got quite some cattle 
in our county, too." When no immediate 
answer was returned he repeated, "Yes, we've 
got quite some cattle I want to tell you in 
our county !" We were moved to answer, 
"These are Mount Zion cattle we are adver- 
tising." But the brother was interested and 
he was eager to talk about the things in which 
his interest lay. 

A fine, clean, strong up-standing farmer 
came into the Armory one day, to see 
an exhibit of farmi products. Just inside the 
great doors he stopped and looked around. 
He noticed the church exhibit — then came over 
with a puzzled expression on his face. "What 
is this, anyway? Never saw it this way 
before." After examining the various features, 
books, charts, pictures, he straightened up, 
squared back his shoulders and said : "Now 
this is as it should be ! I'll be a better farmer 
by being a better churchman. And I'm 
mighty glad my church is here with the tools 
and visions and culture she recommends for 
our use and enjoyment." He turned away to 
the other exhibits with a new and a truer 
sense of perspective and proportion than he 
might otherwise have had. 



This venture is to be repeated next year, 
and plans are already being made for it. It 
is expected that increased facilities together 
with the experience gained this year will en- 
able an even more effective exhibit next year. 
And those who come to Farmers' Week will be 
looking for us. 

Books were not sold at the booth. They 
were attractively displayed, desires aroused 
and orders taken for delivery later. Rural 
people like to see what is offered them or 
is available for them. What clasa does not? 
But what class has now less chance to see 
the world of culture and joy open thru books 
to those who will read, than have these same 
rural folk? If the nearly eighty-five per cent 
of the leaders in the different professions who 
now regularly come from rural sections can 
be called and trained for that leadership thru 
a more generous and wisely developed use of 
the best books the result will be of unques- 
tioned nataonal benefit. 

It is proposed, then, that we inaugurate a 
deliberate and intensive cultivation of the 
book-buying and book-reading habit among 
rural folk. 

Three Definite Ways Are Suggested: 

A. Such exhibits as the above mentioned 
should be arranged for the Annual State 
Farmers' Week — iby whatever name it may 
be called in various states. In addition to 
this, similar grouping of tables of the best 
books should be provided at Farmers' Insti- 
tutes and at every County Fair. In connec- 
tion with such exhibits, book lectures and 
Children's Story Hours could be most profit- 
ably planned for. Co-operative arrangement 
could be secured between the various publish- 
ers and thru the medium of Directors of 
Rural Extension in Seminaries and other insti- 
tutions, Coimty Y. M. C. A. Secretaries, and 
County .Agents and Librarians. 

B. Portaible and motorized book-exhibits 
should be provided and sent thru rural dis- 
tricts, bringing right to the homes the books 
recommended for every member of the house- 
hold. These books could be selected by a 
committee composed of capable and responsi- 
ble men and women, interested in the truest 
culture. The Extension Departments above- 
mentioned are working on plans for such 
motor-car exhibits. 

C. The mailing-list plan of tlie various 
pu/blishers should be extended until it 
includes every household in the country. Take 
a given county to begin with and regularly 
for a stated period supply every pastor in 
that county with a package of each new 
book-list issued. Secure the free distribution 
of these lists to all the homes with the notice 
that any householder on request will be put 



April

on the mailing list and receive subsequent 
copies direct. A comibined list would greatly 
facilitate the plan. At least such lists should 
be kept posted lin churches, parish and com- 
munity buildings. As rapidly as one county 
is cultivated, move on to another and repeat 
the process. 

It is submitted that not only should reli- 
gious ibooks 'be more widely distributed among 
town and country readers ; but also with pro- 
portionate value may we stimulate the read- 
ing of poetry, science, invention, history, 
drama — as well as the clean, wholesome fiction 
of noble^hearte)d writers. 

County libraries are being encouraged — and 
properly so. It is necessary, however, to en- 
courage also the modest and discriminating 
purchase of books that may be brought into 
the home and retained as permanent household 
friends. The best and happiest character will 



not be reared in an atmosphere of books when 
the\^ are only borrowed — 'any more than in 
a home where dishes and chairs, and victuals 
are the product of neighborhood foraging 
expeditions and must be returned or paid back 
as soon as the emergency is past. They should 
belong. 

It would seem, in conclusion, that there is 
needed" a more definite and sympathetic co- 
operation between rural pastors and the pub- 
lishing houses which would be eager to con- 
nect with such distributors. Comprehensive 
plans could be worked out for pastors by 
which readiing-clubs could be organized in 
every rural community. By such means pub- 
lishers could be put in the mosli helpful kind 
of relation with a potential but neglected class 
of the most responsive and appreciative 
readers. 




THE CHURCHES CARRY BOOKS TO THE FARMERS AT TRENTON, NEW JERSEY 



Many German Papers Quit 

ON account of the high price of print paper 
and other difficulties in production and 
taxation, over 150 newspapers in Germany have 
decided to cease publication. At a special con- 
vention in Weimar, a sharp criticism of the 
government's attitude was voiced. Publishers 
said that the print paper syndicate had ad- 
vanced the price of print paper 3500% over the 
pre-war price and expected shortly to set a 
price 60 times the old figure. Another diffi- 
culty is the 15% taxation on all newspaper 
advertising. 



Philadelphia Strike Continues 

ACCORDING to the American Printer, 
al>out six hundred compositors are still on 
strike in Philadelphia and draw strike benefits 
of $22 weekly for married men and $18 for 
single men. While a number of Philadelphia 
firms granted the 44-hour week, the majority 
of the shops are on the 48-hour basis. Many 
of the pressmen who went on strike last May 
are still out of work, and it is reported that 
several hundred of them have found work in 
New York and other cities.

May I Help You To-day?' 

By Irving Allen 



THE form of the above query, which is as 
good as any with which to address a po- 
tential customer, assumes the power of the 
bookman to help his customers. He merely 
waits upon a formal assent. That is funda- 
mentally the bookman's position. He should 
help the customer, not by merely finding for 
him a requested book from confusing tables, 
but by being a consulting specialist in the cus- 
tomer's personal problem of reading. 

One of the frequent exclamations the sales- 
man hears lis "Oh, dear! If I only had time 
to read. Some year I am going to take a sum- 
mer off and do nothing but read." This 
lamentation usually comes from some one 
who has realized his failure to get the power 
and enjoyment from books which are his 
due. Reading has been put off until a 
heaven-like stretch of leisure is granted, and 
that usually means that no important reading 
is done. One of the causes of this notion is 
the helplessness many persons feel before the 
tremendous wave of published matter. Thus it 
would be sad if books were defeating their 
own end, if modern reading demanded entirely 
too much running to keep up. This would be 
the bookman's chance to help. He can become 
the guide thru this lalbyrinth; he is the medium 
that connects each customer with his particular 
book. 

Most books are read upon recommendation. 
Even the person of highly discriminating taste 
is attracted to a book by the comment of the 
critic ihe admires or relies upon. The great 
waves of populanity some books enjoy are en- 
hanced thru word of mouth endorsement be- 
tween friend and friend. This is not to say 
that recommendation alone causes the book's 
sale. The reasons that go into the making of 
a "best seller" are mysteries to puiblishers, re- 
viewers, and book dealers. We all, however, 
ll'ike to have others share our enjoyment of a 
'book. But there are thousands of good books 
on booksellers' shelves that may be important 
to readers, more important than the one they 
happeiii to buy to "keep up." These others are 
merely waiiting to be recommended, to be intro- 
duced. There is a book that will give a cus- 
tomer a perspective of his own business ; there 
are ibiographies of men and women that may 
stimulate him to read widely in the history of 
a particular epoch ; a book of formulae may 
lead to a thrilling hobby. It is that clever dis- 
covery of what people want to read and are 
interested in that marks the expert book clerk. 
Too often he may try to impress the customer 
with what he should read. The should argu- 
ment is very effective, hcnvever, for those who 



want to know what is "going big." But in gen- 
eral reading ought to be pleasurable, not la- 
borious and uninteresting. Mathematical philos- 
ophy may Idc a joy to one, and Gene Stratton- 
Porter to another. That is the bookman's task 
to discover. He should run with the intuition 
of his customer, not against it. 

There is a surprisingly large amount of se- 
rious reading done in America to-day. Books 
on economics, politics., and biography have a 
wide appeal. And with the spread of educa- 
tion and a genuinq respect for intelligence, the 
demand for all kinds of books is bound to in- 
crease. In order that this tide may not drown 
the customer, the bookman must so guide and 
select that his opinion of particular books for 
particular customers will be regarded highly. 
Once this contact is estalblished a book a week 
will not only be bought but read. 

For the Promotion of Knowledge 

<</^ F the making of many books there is 
V-' no end; and on' learning of a new 
scheme to facilitate publication, one is not 
necessarily rejoiced," says the Independent. 
"But there is a class of publications which 
is in great need of 'all the help that can be 
given to them in the way of organized co- 
operation — namely, books and periodicals con- 
veying the results of scholarship and research. 
It is accordingly a pleasure to learn that a 
movement is on foot to provide for this need 
in a systematic way. 

"Just what shape the movement will take 
has ;hot yet been determined; but the idea 
seems 'to be to cover two deficiencies, both 
of which have been keenly felt. First, there 
is the difficulty of getting a publisher for 
individual works which, tho of high scientific 
and scholarly value, offer no prospect of com- 
mercial return; and secondly, there is the 
difficulty which our scientific periodicals, 
published usually under the auspices of some 
university, labor under because of insufficient 
pecuniary resources and because of inade- 
quate means of publicity and distribution. 
An organization of moderate endowment, if 
conducted with judgment and in a spirit of 
all-round helpfullness, should do much to 
promote both the production and the dissem- 
ination of scientific and scholarly work — and 
indeed the production is often absolutely de- 
pendent on the possibility of dissemination. 
If such an organization should be formed, 
with its conduct in the right hands, it will 
be welcomed as a great help to American 
learning and science."

What the Milhon Will Read 

By Ruth E. Finley 

Former Fiction Editor for the Newspaper Enterprise Association 



WHEN, after publishing 52 novels, a 
strling of mid-western newspapers rep- 
resenting more than a million readers 
held a contest to find out which of those 
serials their publiic liked best, the vote stood 
as follows : 

Hum.an interest 48% 

Adventure 17% 

Humor 15% 

Mystery 12% 

Detective 8% 

This kicked into a cocked hat the news- 
paper editor's time honored belief that the 
newspaper public — ^w^hich, after all, is the 
most indicative as well as representative pub- 
lic — cared only for the exciting detective or 
mystery story, the more blood and thunder 
the better. 

The contest was held in 191 5 after the 
Novel-a-Week feature had been running just 
a year. The string of papers that held the 
contest is still using serial fiction as a circu- 
lation builder and stabilizer, and the policy 
adopted after the contest is still being followed 
out. 

Stories That Jump Circulation 

For instance, one of the late purchases for 
serial release in these papers is "li Winter 
Comes" by A. S. M. Hutchinson. This is 
hardly the type of story that the person who 
can afford to pay $2 a volume for his fiction 
entertainment would expect to be understood 
and enjoyed in a factory worker's kitchen. 
Yet that string of papers will "cash in" on 
the book. 'Tf Winte)r Comesf' will jump 
their circulation. Why? For the same reason 
"K" by Mary Roberts Rinehart, "Eimpty 
Pockets" by Rupert Hughes, "The Real 
Adventure," by Henry Kitchell Webster; 
"The Turmoil," by Booth Tarkington and doz- 
ens of others unlike in kind, but of similar 
viewpoint, jumped circulation when they were 
run as Novel-a-Week serials. And again 
why? Take the Tarkington story as an 
example. 

At the time "The Turmoil" was released, 
May 8. 1916, America was approaching the 
peak of the industrial activity resulting from 
the war demands of the Allies. Not yet in 
the struggle herself, her people sailed on the 
high seas of prosperity, a prosperity possible 
only because, all during the current generation, 
manufacturing and the facilities of manu- 
facturing had been steadily and rapidly de- 



veloped. G^nsequentiy when Mr. Tarkington 
wrote about a manufacturing city, its hustle 
and bustle and grime and dirt, the people of a 
country that had produced hundreds of just 
such towns understood. 

Now the moiling city was only the back- 
g-round. Out of the educational system with 
which every person born on this soil has 
longer or shorter experience, Mr. Tarkington 
chose his hero, an average type of boy, 
familiar to everybody, with youth's burning 
ambition to realize dreams. Again the peo- 
ple understood the boy's losing fight for his 
dreams against industrialism. For dreams 
are the heritage of humanity and it is not 
inconceivable that the fat Italian fruit seller 
on the corner has had a vision of the career 
as a grand opera star. 

In short, people read for pleasure what they 
can understand. Picture a condition which 
the reader is able to translate into his own 
terms, portray the problems and emotions of 
the time, and your book is a success. 

There is another element in "The Turmoil" 
which appealed strongly to the newsipaper 
reader. It postulated a doctrine of compen- 
sation. Its hero never had a chance even to 
try to become the writer he longed to be; 
circumstances forced his artistic soul into the 
world of oommercialism. But it was after 
he had made good there that he realized he 
had found an outlet for his creative ability, 
in fashioning his very life according to the 
ends he was compelled to serve. A railroad 
president knows what that means — and so 
does a switch thrower. Neither may gain 
contentment, but both must have faith in the 
possibility of such attainment, or quit. So 
each hugged to his consciousness Tarking- 
ton's bolstering suggestion of compensation. 

Strong Human Interest Appeal 

And here again is why the American man- 
in-the-street finds Mr. Hutchinson's story with 
its very English setting so adaptable to his 
own problems. Mr. Hutchinson's poor hero is 
overwhelmed by every tragedy in the calendar 
— even to being accused of murder as the re- 
sult of a humanitarian act. "Winter" came 
for him as an acme of desolation. But the book 
moves logically and inevitably to the fulfill- 
ment of the quotation's conclusion: "If win- 
ter comes, can spring be far behind?" 

There are a good many p^eople right now, 
the world over, who, while they are not called 



q64 



The Publishers' Weekly 



upon to endure the agonies of Mr. Hutchin- 
son's central character, are getting a pretty 
fair taste of "winter." Folks are beginning to 
wonder if this upset old world of ours will 
ever know "spring" again. So they not only 
understand the problem the author chose as 
thesis for his story but they welcome the con- 
clusion. He prods their old inherited beliefs 
in the ultimate rightness of the universe, and 
hammers home the doctrine of hope. 

Incidentally, in any consideration of what 
makes for popularity it should be kept in mind 
that, all theories to the contrary, the reading 
public — and particularly the less educated pub- 
lic — demands top-notch work. Not discern- 
ing enough to delve under the surface for the 
worth of an author's ideas, the emotional 
reader (almost everyone is emotional) is 
the severest critic. So the writer who makes 
a success must get across. He must be a 
master of character delineation. Real people 
must walk thru his pages. His psychology 
must be sound, for the less complex the mind 
of the reader the more vivid his understand- 
ing of emotion. There never was a truer 
axiom than the one about Judy O'Grady and 
the Colonel's lady — only about seven times out 
of ten the Judys have the firmer grip on life 
as it is lived. 

Who Reads the Love Stories? 

Again, incidentally, readers of love stories 
are not young girls but women past thirty. 
This fact, gleaned from a desk swamped with 
enthusiastic letters each time I released a 
serial in w^hich the love interest predominated, 
puzzled me for several years. Then finally I 
realized that my "love fan" correspondents 
were themselves beyond the actively romantic 
period. Their own love life was past or wan- 
ing and they devoured this type of story as a 
sort of emotional stimulant. Consequently 
the popularity of the love story can never be 
in question. Always founded in a problem, 
marriage;, it tends in these days to become 
linked with the greater social problem. 

Probaby the decline in popularity of the de- 
tective and m3'stery stories, primarily on the 
down grade because of their lack of vital per- 
sonal bearing, has been hastened by the 
movies. A few of the older and established 
authors of this sort of book manage to make 
the best seller lists, but the younger writers 
who attain this desirable distinction, have put 
our Main Streets on paper for us, or brought 
national aflfairs to general attention with such 
books as "The Pride of Palomar." 

The legitimate devotee of the unadulterated 
adventure mystery or detective yarn is youth — 
the young mind in the no-matter-how-old 
body. Adolescence finds the screen and the 



movement and crowd enthusiasm of the pic- 
ture theater far more stimulating than a book 
beside the evening lamp. And this is true to- 
day of maturity also, stirred as it is by the 
atmosphere of unrest that characterizes our 
present way of life. 

That the even surety of before-the-war liv- 
ing can never return, for this generation at 
least, is pretty well accepted. Change, radical 
and fundamental, is in the air. But in what 
direction? No man can forecast conditions 
fifty — ten years hence. So many things that 
appeared to be established have gone by the 
boards. For the individual there is not fear 
of the future, perhaps, but an unnamed doubt. 
And this feeling has been accumulating ever 
since Europe plunged into war. It is espe- 
cially true of the newspaper public — the not 
over-discerning, decidedly unanalytical, yet 
developing man-on-the-street individual. The 
times have taught him that his own problems 
are not only personal but general. He is not 
so sure of being able to take out of the world 
what he wants for himself, nor for his chil- 
dren. It is not only a question of making 
good. Even then he faces an element of un- 
certainty. After he gets will he be able to 
keep ? Indeed, ought he to keep what he gets ? 

And so people have been made to think, not 
always straight, as they never did before. 
They don't seem to be able to read just for 
amusement. So they turn from the unreal- 
ities of Raffles prowess to those 1x)oks which 
give some aid in analyzing current problems 
by picturing them convincingly. 

Consider the world's dislocation. It is not 
surprising that books written for entertain- 
ment only, that carry no "message," enjoy less 
and less popularity. All of which does NOT 
mean that the entertainment story will never 
come back. It will, provided the national 
consciousness grows tired of thinking and de- 
cides again to live on comfortable terms with 
life as is and things as are. 

Esparto Paper Combine 

ESPARTO paper made from Esparto grass, 
wMch is very largely used for books in 
England, is to be exploited by a combination 
of ten Scottish mills which are largely en- 
gaged in the manufacture of this special type 
of paper. They hope to develop a large busi- 
ness in Americai, where this light weight stock 
has not been largely used. Esparto grass from 
which it is manufactured is grown in large 
quantities in Afriica and to a smaller extent 
in Spain. It has been so largely used in Eng- 
lish octavo volumes that many people in this 
country instinctively think of an English book 
of memoirs as being especially light in weight 
compared to our own American product.

Books Make Better Homes 



THE most adequate application of the cam- 
paign for promoting the sale of practical 
books in the home was that planned and car- 
ried thru by Walter McKee of John V. Shee- 
han & Company of Detroit. During the sec- 
ond week in March, the Detroit Retail Furni- 
ture Association held a "Better Homes" ex- 
hibit in Arcadia Hall. The exhibit filled 
fifty-one different rooms, and over forty thous- 
and people attended in four days. Mr, Mc- 
Kee arranged that practically every exhibit 
should have some appropriate l3O0ks in it. 
Special emphasis was laid not so much on the 
home library of standard literature as on the 
practical books that would make home manage- 



ment and home gardening, etc. more easy, with 
the emphasis, too, on practical reference books 
for the bookshelf. These exhibits of books 
were foillowed up by large three-column dis- 
play space in the newspaper. It is said by 
those who saw the exhibit that the books 
added a human touch to the furniture, so that 
both parties were gainers. 

That books can be pictured as part of home 
life to a wider public is shown by the in- 
creasing appearance o[ bookcases and books 
among our illustrated advertisements. The 
current number of the New York Times Book 
Review carries an advertisement of Scribner's 
subscription department, picturing the at-

of the vicinity furnish five or six diflferent

hibit for the library, the hardware men, 
crockery men and grocers furmish the kitchen, 
and so on down the line until the house is

Selling Gift Books 

AVERY clear idea of the type of book that 
the miodern store finds of especial interest 
to those who are to use books as gifts is in- 
dicated by a special catalog published for this 
purpose by McDevitt- Wilson's Bookstore in 
New York. This catalog is a very neat piece 
of printing of 72 pages of enclosure size with 
a foreword on the place of books as gifts, di- 
rections for ordering and three different lists. 
The first list is of such standard titles as are 
most usually recognized as desirable for gift 
purposes, 120 items in all — such books as 
"Lorna Doone," "Golden Treasury," Kipling's 
"Collected Verse," etc. Then follows a list of 
the standard authors that are purchasable in 
handy form of separate volumes, 32 different 
authors are listed with each separate volume 
itemized. There is no doubt that the flexible 
leather books have done a great deal in in- 



creasing the popularity of books as gifts, as 
they are in every way attractive to the recipient 
and, with the variety now obtainable, can easily 
express the sentiments of the giver. The third 
section of the catalog is a list of specially bound 
l)Ooks and nice editions from the fine book 
stock of the store. In discussing the place of 
books as gifts, the catalog carries the following 
foreword : 

"Books are the best gifts. In addition to 
their intrinsic value, they are a subtle tribute 
to the mind and character of the recipient.' 
When in doubt, therefore, give your friend a 
book. And lif you do not find it easy to choose 
the right title out of the multitude of new pub- 
lications, select a tastefully bound classic, such 
as you will find described herein."

Historic Washington as a Playground 

Another Letter to You ! 



967 



Dear Bill Bookseller: 

THIS is the first opportunity I have had 
to write you of the coming Convention in 
Washington, for we have been so busy 
trying to "frame up" something that will ap- 
peal to you all. And, say, Bill, I think we've 
done it ! I'm not going to say anything about 
the daily sessions, except that I know you'll 
be interested in them from beginning to finish, 
and they in themselves will surely repay you 
for coming from any distance. 

In the first place, 
on Monday evening, 
we are going to 
visit, informally, the 
Congressional Li- 
brary. I say "in- 
formally" for they 
never have any pub- 
lic receptions there — 
and you^ll be mighty 
glad to have seen one 
of the most beautiful buildings in the world. 

On Tuesday night, the Women's National 
Book Association is to have a dance — a Colon- 
ial Dance, I believe, at the New Willard with 
plenty of stunts and eats and jazz. For this, 
no charge. 

On Wednesday evening at 7:15 we are go- 
ing to have special cars, which will take us 
to the wharves, where we will board a 
specially chartered steamboat for a four hour 
trip down the beautiful Potomac, by moon- 
light; I say moonlig^ht, for I have ordered it 
special. If you don't believe it, look it up on 
your calendar. And there's going to be mu- 
sic and maybe dancing, and mayibe something 
when you're dry — not what you're thinking 
about — and there are going to be some moon- 
light spots — and some not so light, and we'll 
sing the old songs n'everything. And for this 
again, there is no charge! 

But on Thursday, — ^Oh boy! That's going 
to be some day! We have chartered special 
electric trains and leave in the morning at 
9:30, going directly to Arlington, the National 
Cemetery — 'and there we'll see the tomb of 
the "Unknown Soldier" and the wonderful 
amphitheater, and the Robert Lee Homestead, 
and we will have someone to point out briefly 
all the interesting spots. 

Then we board our private trains again 
(some class) and wi'll be taken to that famous 
old Virginia town of Alexandria, and visit 
Christ Church, where Washington worshipped, 



22nd ANNUAL 

BOOKSELLERS' CONVENTION 

New Willard, WASHINGTON 

May 8, 9, 10, 11. 1922 



and if you behave yourself, I'll let you sit 
in the pew Washington owned — ^and then 
we'll visit tihe famous old fire engine house 
with all the original apparatus — and then we 
may visit the Old Masonic Hall where Wash- 
ington was Master, and after we have had our 
fill of all these things, we'll take our train, 
our very own, and ride for a short time, till 
we come to Mt. Vernon, the most sacred 
shrine in America. 

By that time, our appetite will probably 
be on edge, so we'll have some lunch — some 
'rj lunch — I say, after 
which w€ will be 
j taken thru tihe old 
•house and grounds 
and wiill pro-bably 
: leave for home (for 
Washington is your 
Capitol, you know, old 
top) and reach there 
about three o'clock. 
And I think, altho 
I can't promise, that we may be able to go 
thru the White House, and say, won't that be 
great? And when that is over, we'll call it 
a day, and 3^our wife can go to the hotel for 
a little "beauty sleep" to be in trim for the 
banquet in the evening. And the Banquet, 
Bill, the banquet I I wisih I could, but I can't 
tell you any of the details at this time. All 
I can say is that the hall has a capacity of 
8oo guests, so you'd better make your reserva- 
tions early (I don't mean to be funny). And 
for all this big Thursday and Thursday even- 
ing, there'll be no CHARGE!! 

The only expense will be the ten dollar 
registration fee for each person — that means 
ten for you and ten for your wife. It sure 
is a great feeling for us booksellers to know 
that we, ourselves, unassisted, are going to 
"put over" the biggest Convention of Amer- 
ican Booksellers the world has ever known. 
And, say, boy, I almost forgot one of the 
most important things — be sure to bring your 
golf clubs with you. Within ten minutes of 
the hotel is one of the finest municipal courses 
in the country. You can play eighteen holes 
and be hack in time for breakfast. 

So send in your reservations early — direct 
to the hotel — ^and arrange your table for the 
banquet — before you come — and you'll make 
everyone happy, including 

Yours cordially, 

Simon L. Nye, 
Chairman Convention Publicity Committee.

The Present State of Book Manufacture 



WHEN A. Edward Newton shouted his 
rallying cry from the Rages of the 
Atlantic Monthly, to be taken up by pub- 
lishers and booksellers, the emphasis was not 
on mere reading, but on the owning of books, 
and ever since the slogan was minted "Buy a 
Book a Week" has been the basis of well- 
reasoned arguments for owning a library. To 
formulate such arguments, one had, of course, 
to ask, "Why do people buy books, anyway?" 
Many people purchase books merely for the 
temiporary pleasure they provide, exactly as 
one buys candy or flowers. The only perma- 
nent results of such expenditure are pleasant 
memories. A more telling argument for the 
owning of books is that of personal better- 
ment. Many commodities make use of this 
same argument, but books can make a stronger 
plea for two reasons — for tho Lux may be sold 
to preserve the dedicate tint of your Sunday 
blouse, and Rinso to preserve the youth that 
would otherwise be rubbed away, and Falm 
Olive soap to preserve that school girl com- 
plexion, these are, in spite of efforts, doomed 
to an eventual demise, but the mind or the 
soul, we believe, may be preserved and im- 
proved by knowledge and inspiration. And 
that is what books can provide. Moreover, 
books have the quality of the Miiraculous 
Pitcher — no matter how often the source is 
drained, it is just as full and ready to be 
drained. So, aS a permanent collection, books, 
it is argued, possess a distinct advantage over 
Woodbury's soap or Blue Goose Grapefruit. 
In this way, too, they possess an advantage 
over opera or concert tickets. 

To Encourage Ownership 

B'ut if all these arguments are to be used, they 
entail real responsibility on the part of the mak- 
ers of books. If books are to condescend to con- 
cert tickets with the miraculous pitcher argu- 
ment it is not enough for the contents ctf the 
books to be inspired, their manufacture must 
also be so sound as to insure their permanency. 
It would be unfortunate if the growing enthusi- 
asm for book ownership were not accompanied 
by an enthusiasm for good manufacture. Sev- 
eral book collectors have written to the Pub- 
ushers' Weekly recently, sharply commenting 
on the present state of book manufacture, and 
these earnest letters may well make any pub- 
lisiher or bookseller pause, examine his stock, 
and think. 

A bookseller of twenty-five years' experience 
writes : 

"In my twenty-seven years of selling, I 
have found that satisfied customers are and 
have been our greatest asset and in order to 



make book lovers, books must be made lovely 
things, and that the quality of the paper, cover, 
and make-up of the book lend a great deal i 
to its value. I believe that at this time more 1 
attention ought to be paid to the quality of 
the paper, cover and general makeup of the 
book than heretofore. 

What To Do About Children's Books? 

"There has been quit'e a general feeling of 
dissatisfaction both among dealers and buyers 
as to the quality of books and this is more 
especially marked in the library trade. There 
is a great deal of complaint, and librarians say 
to me 'what shall we do about these children's 
books?' I tell them simply to write the publish- 
ers and if they don't choose to make their books 
a little better, not to buy them, as there are 
plenty of good juveniles that can be bought in 
a little better paper. Some librarians have told 
me that unless ipaper and binding improved on 
certain books, they would cut these titles off 
their lists altogether. As a matter of fact, the 
paper now being used in a $1.50 or $2.00 book 
to-day is not as good as that used on 10 cent 
and 25 cent paper covered books ten years ago. 

To Get Away From War Discomfort 

'T do hope that something can be done and 
know that it would be a good thing for the 
book business all around. Anything to get 
away from this feeling of dissatisfaction and 
discomfort that has grown out of the war. 
During the war cheeapening was apparently 
necessary, in order to keep the prices of books 
down. Now there should be considerable im- 
provement along this line. People look at the 
cover and paper and say they would not care 
to give thei book away or have it in their own 
library, so will read it at the public library 
or at the club but will not purchase it. If 
you would come into our place for a day or 
two and handle a few of these books, I know 
that as a book lover you would feel just 
about as much satisfaction as you would piling 
cordwood. The price of paper has come down 
and tho it is probable that we will never se- 
cure as good a quality of paper as we did 
once, I am sure that something might be done 
along that line. 

"I am going to hammer away at this thing 
and interest other people to hammer at it, even 
at the risk of gettting myself disliked. I am 
going to call the matter to the attention of book- 
sellers generally and I believe that anything 
you can do would render a great service in the 
interests of all concerned." 

A bookseller in the far west writes: 

"I have been buying books for the past half 
vear at the rate of about twenty a month. In 



April I, 1922 



969 



beginning to collect a small home library I have 
not wanted full sets of any author, but I have 
not been able to get single volumes O'f the clas- 
siics I wanted except in unattractive editions. 

"I am able to pay the price for a good, sound, 
standard edition of my books, I do not need 
to buy the cheap condensed editions nor am I 
able to afford hand, bound leather editions de 
luxe at eight to ten dollars a volume. But I 
want my books to be worthy of a permanent 
place on my shelves in their physical qualities, 
and very few of the first 120 volumes I have 
bought are so worthy. 

'This state of affairs does not encourage the 
collecting of a home library, a hobby that is 
profitable to puiblishers." 

When Books Are Opened 

A Philadelphia book collector writes : 
"Whenever I read, in the Weekly, your no- 
tices of books under the heading of "Good 
Book Making," I wonder just what, nowadays, 
is supposed to be included in this subject. 
Pleasant type? Good quality paper? Attrac- 
tive bindling? We are well supplied in all these 
matters. But it seems to me that one of the 
most important points of good book making is 
being entirely neglected. 

"Possibly the average publisher cares little 
how long his book will 'stand up' after it is 
sold, and a dealer cares no more. I have had 
salesmen in stores, offering me a book, open 
it before me to exhibit it, to the music of a 
loud crack from the tender lining material. 
After one reading, such books are no credit to 
either dealer or publiisher. Again, I have se- 
cured untouched books and opened them with 
the greatest care, only to -have them break 
quite as badly, sometimes between a dozen or 
more sections. 

Printing No Longer a Craft 

"It was formerly the custom, with some sub- 
scription publishers, to enclose, in each volume 
sent out, a printed slip, cautioning care in the 
opening of a new book and recommending that 
it be handled carefully the first time and opened 
gradually, turning down a few leaves at a 
time from each end ; some such directions, as 
I recall, gave a line cut by way of exact ex- 
planation. 

It would not, be far from the truth to say 
tliat ninety-nine people out of a hundred have 
no idea of how to open a new book in this way. 
And possiibly only half of these care very much 
whether the book breaks or not. But those who 
do care, and to whom books are something a 
Hittle more important and permanent than a 
newspaper or magazine, have, I think, some 
right to expect reasonable durability as well as 
a pleasant appearance in books which certainly 
cost enough to insure both. 



"Printing, which was once a craft, is now a 
business. But, to say nothing of craftsman- 
ship, is it even good business for modern pub- 
lishers to ignore the durability of their books? 
Is a firmer stitching and more careful assembly 
less a part of good book making than other 
points which simply attract the eye? And, iif 
not, should lit not' receive more attention and, 
in the same connection, should not the ordinary 
book buyers be educated, by means of printed 
directions, to open their books more carefully 
on the first reading and to treat them with 
more consideration? 

"To criticize 99 out of 100 books would 
overstate the case, altho the provocation is 
sometimes so great that I feel like that other 
disgruntled indivadual who proclaimed that 'all 
men are liars,' taking no chances on an under- 
estimate. At any rate, the ratio is pretty high 
and, according to my experiences, is not evenly 
distributed among the publishers. That is, 
nearly all the books of one house may be well 
sewn while nearly all the books of another may 
be badly sewn. I have frequently written pufc- 
lishers on the subject and invariably receive a 
letter of regret and an offer to supply a new 
copy of the book ; but the answer to the prob- 
lem is not a new copy to such people as com- 
plain but rather a properly substantial edition 
in the first place." 

A Library Report 

The annual report of the Grand Rapids Pub- 
lic Library says : 

"The general book binding situation, especial- 
ly for neiw books, is the worst I have known in 
my whole library experience. In a previous re- 
port I referred to the fact that some books have 
to be. repaired or rebound after goiing into cir- 
culation only once or twice on account of the 
poor quality of the binding as they come from 
the publishers. This, however, is not the only 
trouble we are having in this connection, for 
in the assembling of the printed sections of the 
books for binding there are an extraordinary 
number of mistakes being made, duplicating 
certain sections, leaving out others, etc., so that 
the 'books come to us imperfect. The other- 
day the Uibrary received 11 copies of a popular 
reference book which is used at mosti of the- 
Branch Libraries. Seven of these had to be 
returned because of missing pages due to 
faulty work in the establishment where the 
books were bound. The situation is such that 
it is necessary for the Library to examine care- 
fully or collate every reference work that 
comes to us. It is the rarest thing that we- 
get a considerable number of volumes now 
that come to us iperfect, because of the indilf- 
ferent work done in the publishers' binderies.""

It Is a plcasiire to endorse the 
program of your oiganlBation for the wider 
circulation of books of a religious character. 

I strongly feel that every good parent 
cares for his child's body, that the child may 
have a normal and healthy life and growth; 
cares for his child's mind, that the child may 
take his proper place in a world of thinking 
people; and such a parent mast also train his 
child's character religiously, that the world 
may become morally fit. Unless this is done, 
trained bodies and trained minds may sinrply add 
to the destructive forces of the world.

PRESIDENT HARDING S LETTER TO THE RELIGIOUS BOOK WEEK COMMITTEE 



Voting for the Best Travel Books 



A VOTE on the best books of travel has 
been conducted during the past week at 
the biig Travel Show in Grand Central 
Palace, New York, and the result will be an- 
nounced shortly by the judges, Josephine 
Adams Rathbone of the Pratt Institute, author 
of "Viewpoints of Travel" and Louis Froe- 
lich, Editor of Asia, and Frederic G. Melcher 
of the Publishers' Weekly. Thru anounce- 
ments in the press, nominations were asked for 
a preliminary list of the best twenty-five titles. 
and this list being reprinted has been passed 
out at the Travel 'Show, so that anyone may 



vote as to which arej the best ten travel books 
to toe placed on this preliminary list. 

The suggestions that came to the Committee 
included in all 198 titles, covering seemingly 
every possi'ble field of authorship and territory. 
There was so little concerted action that many 
books received only a few votes. In two cases 
the ballots showed the result of some special 
effort to stimulate appreciation of certain titles, 
and a very heavy vote was cast for "The Sea 
and Sardinia" by D. H. Lawrence and for two 
books by Sydney Greenbie and one by Mrs. 
Greenbie. The list is) to be printed on the bal-

The Friendly Arctic. By Vilhjalmur Ste- 

fansson. 
The Pacific Triangle. By Sydney Greenbie. 
It lis interesting to see that America is not 
without aippreciation of the debt it owes to 
Marco Polo and that such a famous set as 
Hakluyt's "Voyages" received many votes. 
"The South Sea Idylls" is a book that has 
been too much lost sight of, tho ranked among 
the (best books that the South Sea has pro- 
duced. Stanley's first 'book received more pre- 
liminary votes than his more famous 
volume, "Through Darkest Africa." All of 
Franck's books were spoken of, but none has 
equalled "The Vagaibond Journey" in popu- 
larfit>'. It is interesting to notice that our pub- 
lic apparently likes home-made books of travel, 
as about sixty per-cent of the titles were by 
American authors. While the total number 
mentioned gave Europe large precedence as a 
territory of interest, there were only five books 
on Europe among the first twenty-five, indi- 
cating that few titles of European travel take 



a real preeminence. Australia was the only 
continent not included in any title sent in. Such 
old-time titles as Johnson's "Tour of the Heb- 
rides" and' Byron's "Childe Harold" and Au- 
gustus Hare's books were mentioned. Perhaps 
the most unusiwal suggestion was that of "Seven 
Year's Street Preaching in California" by Will- 
iam Taylor. One voter showed a loyalty to 
youthful enthusiasm by mentioning "Under 
Drake's Flag" by Henty. The report as to the 
voting at the Travel Show will be printed next 
week. 

Export Conditions 

6<f N Australasia there is nothing approaching 

■I a slump in books, nor is there likely to be," 
says the Book Post. "The worst that can be 
said is that the abnormal demand has ceased 
and that orders are now given with caution and 
restraint that two years ago were given with 
reckless extravagance. Our friends on the 
lother side have a good deal of stock, accumu- 
lated at that time, which they are rather 
anxious to clear off. 

"This means that the market for books, es- 
pecially novels by new authors, is considerably 
restricted, and is probably less than it was 
before the war. Publishers who formerly took 
risks with a new novelist depending upon the 
export demand will be well advised to take this 
into account. 

"At the same time the demand for novels 
by well-known writers continues with little 
change. First orders of new books are smaller 
than they were, but if the new novel is up to 
standard the demand will not fail, and the 
event will be as satisfactory as in the days of 
large subscription orders. With more definite- 
ness we must say, that this is subject to cer- 
tain conditions, the chief of which is price. 

"The chief demand is for popular authors 
at two shillings. The Australasian is fond of 
reading, but he likes his favorite author at a 
low price. There is a slump in the shilling 
paper covered novel. 

"From Canada the news comes of satis- 
factory trade in books, but chiefly of cheap edi- 
tions. The Canadian market is kept stocked 
with cheap editions of American novels which 
are handled entirely by "jobbers" after the pub- 
lishers have exhausted the demand for these 
novels at the original published price. Un- 
fortunately the r\merican novel tends more 
and more to appeal to the Canadian taste, and 
this and the fact that it can be bought at a 
popular price make it practically impossible 
for English novels to find a public unless prices 
are at least equal. The Canadian lx)ok market 
is gradually becoming Americanized, and Eng- 
lish publishers might with profit set about 
considering what can be done to counteract this 
tendency."

ALONG 
BOOK 



*Take Alonga Book" 

AVERY interesting and decidedly attractive 
form of bookstore promotion has just 
gone out from the Year Round Bookselling 
Committee to all dealers. It consists of a 
transparency 7^ inches wide which is ap- 
plied to the window pane. Inside of the neatly 
designed circlet are the words, "Take Along 
A Book," a selling emphasis delivered at just 
the time when the passerby may have noticed 
a book in the window, but, having noticed it, 
had not applied to himself the idea of taking a 
book with him. 

These transparencies are most carefully ex- 
ecuted and can be a dignified appendage to a 
window of even the most exclusive shop. The 
color is a very delicate yellow with red letters. 
To put it on the window the surface is wet 
with a sponge or cloth and the circlet pressed 
tightly to the g^ass, where it will stay attached 
for as long as the dealer wishes, for several 
years if desired or, it can be removed. It can 
'be attached either on the outside or inside of 
the glass according to the needs. The com- 
mittee has also had this design made into 
electros oi 1% inches across, and these will be 
supplied to retailers to use in their advertising 
at 70c postpaid. 



Home Planning Reading List 

A LIST of twelve practical books on home 
planning has been prepared by the American 
Library Association in an 8-page pamphlet for 
general distribution by either libraries or book- 
stores. The list has a decorative cover and short 
introduction. The books include discussion of 
various styles of architecture, of different mate- 
rials and practical plans. 



A Chicago Wage Decision 

A S arbitrator in the feeders' wage discus- 
^^sion in Chicago, Dean Heilman of North- 
western University has rendered a decision, 
cutting the minimum rate for those who were 
receiving $39.60 to $37.80 per week and junior 
workmen from $24.90 to $23.10. The rates go 
into effect March 26th for one year. This de- 
cision affects virtually all the printing and 
publishing houses in Chicago. 

In announcing the decision, Dean Heilman 
commented on the Union's argument that 
$2445 was the minimum wage which would 
enaible a man to support a wife and three 
children in health and efficiency according to 
the American standard. "This theory," said 
Dean Heilman, "sets forth an ideal which 
should eventually be established in all Amer- 
ican business, but the fact is that the total 
annual income of the United States is not 
large enough to provide such a wage to every 
adult wage earner, and there is no indication 
that the printing industry is more profitable 
than any other." 

This comment, which has been widely 
quoted, draws attention to the statistics as to 
the nation's annual income, which, according 
to the figures, is about $60,000,000,000 for 
40,000.000 receivers of income, or about $1500 
a year. Only 10. per cent of the incomes of 
the United States average over the figure set 
jby the printers as necessary, 90 per cent of 
them run under that figure. The wage scale 
adopted gives the feeders about $2000 a year, 
and 87 per cent of thq incomes of the coun- 
try are less than that figure. 

Wolcott Back in Business 

THE lure of bookselling has its victories now 
as in the time gone by. Clarence E. Wolcott 
is back in the book business ; with all the fresh 
enthusiasm of a youth and the ripe knowledge 
of a veteran, he returns to the profession and 
has opened a Book & Gift Shop at Skaneateles, 
in central New York, where he has been living 
quietly since closing his famous shop at Syra- 
cuse, three years ago. With him, he will have 
an associate in Mrs. Wolcott who takes per- 
sonal charge of all merchandise other than 
books. His present plan is to build up local 
trade which has ready connections with other 
prosperous towns in the neighborhood, and 
develop a mail order business among many 
book buyers in that part of the state with 
whom he has done business in the past. 

Mr. Wolcott has a record as one of the 
founders o-f the American Booksellers' Asso- 
ciation, and during several of its earlier and 
critical years was its president and a ceaseless 
worker in its interests.

Parcel Post Packages may now 
be Sealed 

THE Post Office Department has issued a 
ruling that articles when enclosed in sealed 
parcels bearing printed labels which show the 
nature of the contents, the name of the manu- 
facturer, producer or shipper, and endorsed 
"Postmaster: This parcel may be opened for 
inspection if necessary," shall be accepted for 
mailing at parcel post rates. It is not nec- 
essary to state the QUANTITY of the con- 
tents of the package. Descriptions like this 
are sufficient: "Cooking Utensils," "Confec- 
tionery," "Food Products," "Hardware," 
"Wearing Apparel." 

Books would be marked: 

CONTENTS: Books 
Postmaster: This parcel may be opened 
for postal inspection if necessary. 

Substituting for Gold Leaf 

ONE of the continuing experiments in the 
book binding field has been the attempt 
to find a substitute for gold which could be 
used as easily as plain ink and yet stay untarn- 
ished as long as the leaf itself. After a good 
many failures which have only shown up their 
failure after some years on the book owner's 
shelves, it is reported that a formula has been 
discovered which the inventors have trade- 
marked as "alchemic gold." The tests seem 
to prove that this will stand the test of time 
without rubbing ofif or losing lustre. An ad- 
vantage that has been looked for in this experi- 
mentation oomes from the fact that in using 
gold leaf the whole surface of the area included 
by the design to be stamped in has to be cov- 
ered with the leaf, while, in using a substi- 
tute that can be handled like ink, only the let- 
tering or the design itself needs to be covered, 
with consequent saving of material. 

Macmillan to Build 

THE large building lot on the corner of 
Twelfth Street and Fifth Avenue, New 
York, which the Macmillan Company has 
owned for some time is soon to be the scene of 
building operations. This lot was acquired by 
Macmillan just at the time the war broke out, 
and building costs rose so rapidly that construc- 
tion plans have been delayed. The location has 
a fine frontage on both streets and a perman- 
ent light to the south; on account of the church 
which is on the next corner. The balance of 
the frontage on Fifth Avenue is occupied by 
Macmillan's present building, 66 Fifth Avenue 
and the corner building erected some years ago 
by Ginn & Company at 70 Fifth Avenue. 



The Cytherea Prize Doll 

THE prize winning doll in Knopf's contest 
for "Cytherea" window displays was 
modeled and dressed by Miss Katherine Pier- 
son and displayed in Frank Shay's Bookshop , 
in New York. Knopf's received photographs 
from all over the country, and many attempted 
to visualize the peculiarly enigmatic and fas- 
cinating heroine. Miss Pierson's doll was 
dressed in an old-fashioned bell skirt of plum 
colored silk With yellow bodice and black 
Spanish lace. As displayed in Mr. Shay's

with just a half dozen of the brilliantly 
colored books at the other edge of the win- 
dow. The second prize was for a doll dressed 
by Miss Patricia Hunt for Sheehan's Book- 
shop in Detroit, and the third prize for a 
doll used in Lord & Taylor's Bookshop in 
New York and dressed by Elizabeth Prall and 
Angevine Hayward. The prizes were for $50, 
$25 and $15 respectively, and the judges were 
Mrs. Lydig Hoyt, Neysa McMein and 
Frederic G. Melcher.

Women and Bookselling 

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




THIS is probably the most extensively used 
book-plate in the world. The desiigner, 
Anna Milo Upjohn, who has been associ- 
ated with the Junior Red Cross in Europe, 
has seen this book-plate placed in all of the 
American hooks which have been g'iven by 
that organization to the schools oif France, 
Italy, Russiia, Albania, Czecho- Slovakia, Hun- 
gary, Rumania, Austria, Bulgaria and Jugo- 
slavia. Miss Upjohn has done many things 
worth while in black-and-white and in oils, 
and, when asked where and with whom she 
studied, modestly said, "It was in many places, 
usually for a few months at a time and dis- 
connectedly, 'but that which counted for most 
was in Paris under Castelucho and Lucien 
Simon." Altho she has been "on the wing" 
for the last five j'^ears in Europe, the place 
she calls "home'' is Jersey City, N, J., but for 
the present she is stationed in Washing- 
ton, D. C. 

Among the new members O'f the Women's 
National Book Association, is Dorothea Hert- 
zog, editor of Movie Weekly. She ds much 
interested in the organization and feels that 



her work is closely allied with that of book- 
selling. 

There is a coffee house at 24 Beekman 
Street, New York;, which carries a sign, "Good 
things to eat; (Good friends to greet; GOOD 
BOOKS TO READ." Here are two enter- 
prising young women, Jeanette and Josephine 
Ware, graduates of the University of Mlin- 
nesota, carrying on a restaurant with the walls 
lined with bookshelves upon which rest the 
old favorites as well as the new ones in litera- 
ture. Here one may have lunch, quietly with 
a favorite author close at hand. As one inter- 
viewer put lit you ask the waiter for "Scram- 
bled eggs, with 'Mr. Prohack,' please; or 
creamed chicken on toast with Vogue." The 
Misses Ware started with one small book- 
shelf, but now, owing to the great demand for 
books during lunch, they have been forced to 
line the walls with them. The idea is a very 
popular one with their patrons, judging from 
the emptiness of the shelves during the rush 
hour. No one ever runs off with the books, 
altho no charge is made for the use of them. 
The books are bought 'by the proprietors, who 
use this method Oif advertising their shop, 
knowing that folks will return day after day 
for lunch in order to finish a story so com- 
fortably begun. 

Mrs. Alice Spence Geddes Lloyd, head of 
the Caney Creek Community Centre, Pippa- 
pass, Knott County, Kentucky, is making 
arrangements for a lecture tour thru the 
Northern States in a short time. Mrs. Lloyd 
will 'bring along with her three mountain boys 
who will assist her with the program. The 
library in this community is a very popular 
place, and she states that it is almost impos- 
sible to satisfy the demands that these moun- 
tain folk make upon it. A fourth branch has 
just been opened with an even thousand 
volumes. These branches are in addition to 
the little libraries which have been placed in 
the schools in the remote districts. 

Marie Robinson and Ellen Ringer have Ijeen 
carrying on a very successful exhibition of the 
paintings of Carleton C. Fowler at their shop, 
The Bookery, 11 West 47th St., New York. 
The canvases, large and small, are well dis- 
tributed about the shop, some hung and others 
upon easels. This collection includes land- 
scapes in water-colors and oils and thumb-box 
sketches. Some of the larger oils are "Fifth 
Avenue at Twilight," "Willows in Spring" and 
"In the Pine Woods." During the absence 
of Mrs. Robinson from New York, her place 
in the shop will be taken by Lucille Polianov, 
a newcomer to the book-trade.

Obituary Notes 

ERNEST ALFRED VIZETELLY 

Ernest Alfred Vizetelly, author, traveler 
and editor, died at his home in Hampstead, 
England, after a long illness, on March 26th. 
lie was in his sixty-ninth year. While still 
in his teens, he became a newspaper correspond- 
ent and illustrator for several London peri- 
odicals during the Franoo-Prussian War and 
vvas in Paris thruout the Commune. He was 
associated with Vizetelly & Company, publish- 
LTS, as editor, during their brief career, and 
was the translator of Zola's works. His writ- 
ings include : "My Days of Adventure, 1870- 
71"; "True Story of Alsace-Lorrame" ; "Paris 
and Her People"; "In Seven Lands"; "The 
Court of the Tuilleries, 1852-1870" ; "The An- 
archists, Their Creed and Record" ; "True 
Story of Chevalier d'Ek)n"; and the following 
novels: "The Scorpion"; "A Path of Thorns"; 
"The Lover's Progress"; and "Blush Rose." 
His brother, Frank H. Vizetelly, is now con- 
nected with the Literary Digest and the Stand- 
ard Dictionary. 

There were three brothers : Ernest A. 
Vizetelly, Dr. Frank H. Vizetelly, of New 
York City, and the late Edward H. Vizetelly. 
The Vizetelly firm got into trouble with the 
criminal authorities for bninging out certain 
of the books of Emile Zola in English. Yet 
some years later when the realistic novelist 
visited London he was received with honor.

SECOND HAND BOOK PRICES 

Los Angeles Public Library 

Los Angeles, California, 

March 17, 1922. 
Editor, Publishers' Weekly: 

Is it a fact, as stated 'by "Burdock" in the 
issue of February 25th, that libraries are un- 
willing to pay fair prices for "o. p." books, 
or does "Burdock" quote too high prices? I 
do not believe that as a general rule libraries 
go to the trouble of placing weekly adver- 
tisements in the "Books Wanted" column and 
then fail to buy if they receive reasonable 
offers. 

It is very frequently the case that we re- 
ceive several answers for a single item on 
which the highest quotation is double that of 
the lowest offer. We recently advertised for 
"The Thrall of Lief the Lucky" and bought 
all copies offered under the original publication 
price. 

The mere fact that a book is not listed 
in the latest copy of the publishers' catalog 
makes it consodered "o. p.," but does not 



necessarily justify charging a premium for 
the hundreds of copies available in second- 
hand stores all over the country. We may 
advertise ifor a book which we are willing 
to buy at the original price, but not at a 
premium. 

This library is placing ads at regular inter- 
vals and securing satisfactory results, having 
secured missing volumes of some important 
continuations and replacement of recent books. 
Probably there has never been a time when 
the publishers were allowing so many titles in 
constant demand by libraries to go out of 
print, and it ds in this connection that I find 
the "Books Wanted" column of great assist- 
ance. 

Very truly yours, 

Albert C. Read, 
Principal of Order Department. 

SECOND HAND PRICES AGAIN 

Zelienople, Pa. 
Editor, Publishers' Weekly, 

Would you iplease call attention to the 
ridiculous practice some book dealers have 
of quoting absurd and excessive prices to very 
ordinary, common and in no wise expensive 
books lin reply to inquiries in your "Books 
Wanted." 

I recently advertised for a copy of Bill 
Nye's ''Comic History of U. S," a book 
very common and worth at most $2.00, and 
was simply deluged with offers of from $1.20 
to $15.00. 

Yours truly, 

P. L. D. 

Personal Notes 

Frank C. Dodd, of Dodd, Mead & Company, 
sailed for England on March 23rd. Before 
leaving, Mr. Dodd stated that, because of the 
recent purchase of the John Lane line, and the 
large increase to the Dodd Mead I'ist, he would 
probably not add materially to the books al- 
ready arranged for this year ; that he was more 
interested in perfecting plans and securing ma- 
terial for 1923. Mr. Dodd plans to visit W. J. 
Locke at his home in Cannes, and while in 
England, will see Archibald Marshall, W. B. 
Maxwell, Muriel Hine, Arthur Rees, Anthony 
Pryde, Michaiel Arlen, Berta Ruck, Olive 
Wadsley, and other Dodd Mead authors. 



Harold Hunting, who was formerly man- 
ager of the Religious Book Shop, and more 
recently with McDevitt- Wilson's, goes April 
first to the George H. Doran Co. where he will 
assist Charles M. Roe, head of the religious 
department.

The Weekly Record of New Publications 

This list aims to be a complete and accurate record of American book publications. 
Pamphlets will be included only if of special value. Publishers should send copies of all 
books promptly for annotation and entry, and the receipt of advance copies insures record 
simultaneous with publication. The annotations are descriptive, not critical; intended to 
place not to judge the books. Pamphlet material and books of lesser trade interest are listed 
in smaller type. 

The entry is transcribed from title page when the book is sent for record. Prices are added except 
when not supplied by publisher or obtainable only on specific request. When not specified the binding is 
cloth. 

Imprint date is stated [or best available date, preferably copyright date, in bracket] only when it 
differs from year of entry. Copyright date is stated only when it differs from imprint date: otherwise 
simply "c." No ascertainable date is designated thus: [n. d.].

Rare Books, Autographs and Prints 



THE Pelazzo Centani, in Venice, the house 
occupied by Goldini, the master of Ital- 
ian comedy, has been bought and will be 
converted into a dramatic museum. 

Important autograph letters and historical 
documents including papers relating to early 
New Y6rk, letters of signers of the Declaration 
of Independence, presidents of the United 
States, generals in the Revolution, colonial 
governors, actors and authors, will be sold by 
Stan V. Henkels in Philadelphia, April 6. 

Original manuscripts of Beethoven, Bach, 
Schubert, Schumann, and others, the property 
of Breitkopf & Hartel, 22 West Thirty-eighth 
Street, one of the oldest publishers of classical 
music in this country, were mutilated and 
stolen by burglars last week. It is regarded as 
improbable that the manuscripts that were car- 
ried away will be offered for sale in this coun- 
try, in the near future, at least, because they 
could be so easily traced. 

The fifth volume of "Autograph Prices Cur- 
rent, 1919-21," founded by the late E. H. Cour- 
ville, of Lx)ndon, now edited and published by 
Mrs. A. J. Herbert has just made its appear- 
ance. Formerly an annual, two years' records 
have been run into one alphabet in order to 
bring the publication quickly up-to-date. Deal- 
ers and collectors will be glad to learn of the 
revival of this reference work. 

Charles F. Heartman has printed a limited 
edition of eighty-six copies, five on Japan pa- 
per, of the rare "Narrative of the Captivity of 
William Biggs" among the Kickappoo Indians 
in 1788 written by himself, making No. 37 in 
the Heartman Historical Series. The volume 
is printed on handmade paper, bound in gray 
boards and is an interesting addition to the 
series. 

George Watson Cole, president of the Bibli- 
ographical Society of America, in discussing 
the high prices of rare books is of the opinion 
that the recent great advances are not an un- 
mixed evil, as they stimulate the owners of 
libraries to search thru their books and place 
newly discovered and unknown works upon 
the market. It is also an important factor lin 
creating greater respect ior old Iwoks and 
tends to insure their preservation. 

A "Special Libraries Directory" edited by 
Dorsey W. Hyde, listing more than 1300 spe- 
cialized collections scattered thruout America 



has been published and is sure to be useful 
in research work, not only to students inter- 
ested in special subjects but to the librarians 
themselves. This list is not complete but it is 
hoped that the usefulness of this edition will 
warrant the publication lin due time of another 
and more complete edition. 

An important collection of first editions of 
nineteenth century English authors collected by 
Edward K. Butler of Jamaica Plain, Mass., 
will be sold at the American Art Galleries 
April 10. A conspicuous feature of this col- 
lection is the unusually large number of books 
that are inscribed or have some portion or com- 
plete part of the original manuscript of the 
text represented in the printed version, Robert 
and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Fitzgerald, 
Dante !G. Rossetti, Swinburne and Tennyson 
are represented by some very rare lots. 

The Bookman's Journal and Print Collector 
continues to bring within its monthly numbers 
a great deal of information that book and print 
lovers cannot afford to miss. Among the spe- 
cial articles in the March issue are "Bookmen 
on Book Bbrrowers," by William Jaggard; 
"Early English Service Books," by Herbert 
Garland; "Well-edited English Authors," by 
Richard Curie; "Sir Frank Short, R.A., P.R.E.. 
Master Engraver," by Malcolm C. Salamon. 
The magazine this month has many handsome 
illustrations, and the departments, as usual, are 
packed with interesting note and comment. 

Henry F. De Puy has recently issued in a 
privately printed edition "Some Letters of 
Andrew Jackson," including an address before 
the American Antiquarian Society together with 
nine letters, the correspondence of Andrew 
Jackson and Samuel Swartout in the presiden- 
tial campaign of 1824. The originals of 
these letters, seven by Jackson and two by 
Swartout, are in Mr. De Puy's possession. Mr. 
De Puy makes the point that the letters show a 
vigor and clearness of expression and an accur- 
acy and precision in spelling and grammar that 
was not accredited to Jackson at this period. 

Otis J. Hammond, superintendent of the New 
Hampshire Historical Society, reports the dis- 
covery of a copy of "Political Debates of Hon. 
Abraham Lincoln and Hon. Stephen A. Doug- 
las," the first edition of the speeches in the 
famous Senatorial campaign of 1858 in Illinois, 
with a letter from John G. Nicolay written at 
Springfield, 111., August 14, i860, transmitting 
the hook to W. F. Goodwin, then secretary of

the society. The voiume also contains on a fly 
leaf the following inscription : "Presented to 
the New Hampshire Historical Society, A. Lin- 
coln." So far as known this is the only pres- 
entation copy given to any historical society. 

The sporting library oi a well-known collec- 
tor, one of the finest that has been offered for 
sale for a long tiine, will be sold at the Ander- 
son Galleriies April 3 and! 4. The collection in- 
cludes the very rare American Turf Register, 
1829-44; Annals of Sporting and Fancy 'Gazette, 
13 vols., 1822-28; and a complete set of the 
Sporting Magazine, 156 vols., 1793-1870; the 
rarest works illustrated in color by Henry 
Aiken, George Cruikshank and Thomas Rowl- 
andson and other illustrators of the period to- 
gether with original drawings by Aiken, Cruik- 
shank and Rowlandson of unusual importance. 
This is a collector's sale, as most of the lots 
are rare, frequently unique and generally in 
the choicest possible condition. 

The historical library of the late James Phin- 
ney Baxter, mayor of Portland, Me., and for 
many years president of the Maine Historical 
Society, was sold at the Anderson Galleries 
March 20, 21 and 22, The library, mainly re- 
lating to the history of New England, was 
that of a student and book lover rather than 
that of the ultra collector who thinks chiefly 
of rarity. The class which should have been 
most alive to this opportunity apparently ig- 
nored iit. Goodspeed's Book Shop of Boston 
and the Cadmus Book Shop of this city, spe- 
cialists in just the class of books off'ered in 
this sale, were the heaviest buyers. A few of 
the rarer lots and the prices which they 
brought were the following: Purchas's "Hak- 
luytus Posthumous," etc., 5 vols., folio, levant 
by Pratt, London. 1625-26; first edition of the 
first four volumes and fourth edition of the 
last, $75; Waymouth's "The Jewell of Artes," 
320 leaves in manuscript, folio, bound in Moroc- 
co with the arms of James I on sides, a copy 
of the manuscript in the King's Library w-rit- 
ten between the voyages of 1602 and 1625, 
$62.50; Roger William's "A Key into the Lan- 
guage of America/' etc., small 8vo, levant. 
London, 1643, one of the rarest and earliest 
books relating to the Indians of New England, 
$300 ; and Daniel Welbster's "An Oration." pro- 
nounced at Hanover, New Hampshire, July 4, 
1800, being the 24th Anniversary of American 
Independence, 8vo, sewn, uncut, Hanover 1900, 
the great orator's first printed oration, $80.

To be published early in May 

The Memoirs of the 
Crown Prince of Germany 



Written entirely by his own hand 
during his exile in Holland 

This is a volume of supreme importance. It 
is by far the most significant and authoritative 
document to come from any German source since 
the war. In the nature of its subject matter it 
may mildly be described as a surprising revela- 
tion. 

The Crown Prince describes his home and 
school life, his military training, his experiences 
at court, and his visits to foreign royalties, among 
them Queen Victoria, the Czar, Abdul Hamid of 
Turkey, Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, and 
King Edward of England. 

Especial attention is given to his visits to Eng- 
land, and England's aims and political leaders are 
characterized with much ability. The author has 
much to say of British, French, and German 
diplomats in relation to events leading up to the 
war. 



A Suggestion of 

the Book's 

Contents 

Boyhood 

Life at court 

His home life 

His estimate of his father's 

character. 
What he thinks of Prussian 

standards. 
What Lord Grey said when 

he bantering-ly suggested 

to him that England and 

Germany divide the world. 
His high admiration for 

Edward Vn. 
His attitude toward the 

Zabern affair. 
His opinion of Hindenburg 

and Ludendorf. 
H i s explanation of the 

Marne defeat. 
The reasons for the Verdun 

failure. 
Why he wanted to make 

peace after the Marne. 
His estimate of Bismarck. 



Not the least surprising of the book's revelations is the new light 
it sheds on the Crown Prince's character. The volume is written 
with an evident sincerity. It includes a eulogy of the Crown 
Prince's wife and family and contradicts reports of domestic 
troubles.

Going After Summer Sales 

IT is usually assumed in the book-trade that the one bright spot in June, July and 
August is the demand for light reading, and the bookseller often plans to take 
what may come his way in this field and expect .little other business. While this 
may have been the characteristic attitude in retailing a few years ago, it is not 
in accordance with present theories of the public's needs, and only the very 
lethargic or over-weary merchants are willing to take the summer trade as it comes. 
The bookstore has merchandise that people will get great pleasure and profit 
from in the summer, which will add immensely to the value of every holiday or 
week-end, and it is a pleasant duty, as well as a merchandising necessity; to bring 
this energetically to the read- 
er's attention, and not only to 
the adult reader but to chil- 
dren of every age. 

People connect books with 
their summer plans only when 
it is brought home to them by 
display advertising ; by the time- 
ly sending out of catalogs, espe- 
cially just as people leave town ; 
by the excellence and care of 
window displays and by the 
neatness and readiness of the 
store inside. 

It is somewhat more difficult 
as warm weather comes along 
to make careful plans, to keep 
things active, and to arrange 
new displays, but this is the 
sign of the modern merchant, 
and the only way to eliminate 
the low spots in the year's 
activities.

Much Discussed New Novels 



THE BEAUTIFUL AND 
DAMNED 

By F. SCOTT FITZGERALD 

Critics agree that this 
novel by the author of 
"This Side of Paradise" 
marks a big forward 
step in Fitzgerald's lit- 
erary career and shows 
his growing power. Hen- 
ry Seidel Canby, editor 
of the Literary Review 
of the New York Eve- 
ning Post, declares that 
"no finer study of the 
relations between boy husband and girl 
wife has been given us in American fic- 
tion." Harry Hansen says in the Chicago 
Daily News that it shows Mr. Fitzgerald 
"well on his way to become one of the 
major novelists of our own time."

THE ROAD TO THE WORLD 

By WEBB WALDRON 





SAINT TERESA 

By HENRY SYDNOR HARRISON 

A new novel by the 
author of "Queed." 
Teresa de Silva, 
nicknamed the 
Saint, and known 
to newspaper read- 
ers as "the woman 
who hates love," is 
the extraordinary 
daughter of a New 
York millionaire. 
In a long review 
under the heading "A Woman of the 
Modern Hour," the Boston Transcript 
says, "The person would be rare indeed 
who could start to read 'Saint Teresa* and 
put the book down without finishing." 
And "America" spoke of it as "Certainly 
the most powerful novel of the present 
season. In this book Mr. Harrison is 
at his best."

DANCERS IN THE DARK 

By DOROTHY SPEARE 



Readers who liked 
"Main Street," 
"Moon Calf" and 
similar novels will 
like "The Road to 
the World" for its 
plot, characterization 
and general idea. 
And that impor- 
tant group of alert, 
sophisticated people 
in every community 
which corresponds to the first night audi- 
ence at a New York theatre will seize 
upon "The Road to the World" as the 
real thing — an authentic addition to 
American literature. Its style is almost 
a miracle in modern letters.

Compelling Biographical Novels 



A MAN OF PURPOSE 

By DONALD RICHBERG 

If you had suddenly 
fallen from great 
heights in your pro- 
fession to defeat and 
a prison cell — what 
would you do? That 
is the question "A 
Man of Purpose" 
asked himself ; and 
he answered it by 
telling his life story. 
It is an amazing 
story— amazing in its soul revealment, its 
philosophy, its strength, and its tender- 
ness. Three women exercise an influence 
over him— and he tells it all, concealing 
nothing. Back of the romance is the 
chicanery of big business, and the clash 
of capital and labor. A timely and 
gripping novel.

THE FORSYTE SAGA 

By JOHN GALSWORTHY 

Out of all the flood of 
contemporary fiction, 
here is a volume which 
is sure to live. It is, in 
fact, one of the out- 
standing achievements in 
the history of English 
fiction, and would do 
great credit to the litera- 
ture of any language. It 
presents, in the form of a single volume 
containing a continuous narrative of 
great dramatic interest, the three novels 
and two stories which carry the Forsyte 
family through three generations THE 
MAN OF PROPERTY, THE INDIAN 
SUMMER OF A FORSYTE, IN 
CHANCERY, AWAKENING, and TO 
LET. The most impressive fiction achieve- 
ment of recent years.

BIG PETER 

By ARCHIBALD MARSHALL 

Big Peter was "big" 
in every way. Big of 
frame, big-hearted— 
and he had some big 
thoughts as to what 
he would do when he 
made his big gold 
strike in Australia. 
And, curiously enough, 
the day he does make 
it, he discovers that he 
is the rightful heir to 
a title and large estates in England. 
Then when he goes to England to estab- 
lish his claim, gold mines and titles are 
forgotten when he meets the girl in the 
picture — a picture that had lightened his 
days and nights in the Australian bush. 
A novel you won't want to miss. 




MR. PROHACK

licking, brilliant,

Chivalry and Romance 



THE PURPLE PEARL 

By ANTHONY PRYDE 

It was a desperate feud that had its 
beginning three generations back which 
started four young people to looking for 
the Purple Pearl— and incidentally set 
them on the road to romance. All 
descendants of different branches of an 
old noble family, they find themselves at 
cross purposes when they attempt to 
solve the secret of the mysterious, age- 
old cr3rptogram. A novel which might 
well be termed a "thriller," with its sus- 
tained suspense, excitement and mys- 
tery—were it not for the subtle genius of 
Anthony Pryde who dignifies everything 
he writes by his masterly style and 
characterization. 



THE BRACEGIRDLE 

By BURRIS JENKINS 

The popular demand 
for clean and whole- 
some stories of love 
and chivalry — of noted 
characters in history 
is stronger today than 
ever before. This is 
the refreshing ro- 
mance of Anne Brace- 
girdle, a famous ac- 
tress of the seven- 
teenth century. Her 
brilliant wit and radiant beauty brought 
her adventure, intrigue, passion and one 
man's undying devotion. Interwoven 
with action that stirs the blood is the 
heart appealing tenderness of their great 
love.

is "something of a

"Caravans By Night" has the glamor of

swift action and colorful setting and a 
gorgeous story-telling manner all in one 
book.

Whenever Mrs. Norris writes a book 
she takes some moving, heart-clutching 
situation as her theme, and develops it 
through the medium of neighborly and 
attractive people, people such as live in 
the next house and next street from yours, 
or right in your own street and your own 
house. 

She has the reporter's skill of quick and 
accurate portraiture, whether of person or 
place, sees vividly what she looks at and 
catches what she sees in skillful, some- 
times eloquent words. There is a strong 
sincerity and conviction in what she does, 
an honesty of purpose that gives her 
novels a greater value than the mere story 
quality of entertainment. — New York

Nicholas Thormonde, 
his friends "the fluf- 
fies" and Alathea, 
"The Girl" form a new 
and amusing and 
sometimes tragic tri- 
angle in the "war of the 
sexes" which is portrayed so vividly in this 
fine romance. The "grand moments" of 
life which come to the hero and heroine 
keep one tense and expectant for the final 
scene,— one of the most beautiful in con- 
temporary fiction. The characters are 
compellingly real. They pulsate with life.

THE RUSTLE OF SILK 

By COSMO HAMILTON 

"The Rustle of Silk" 
will outsell any pre- 
vious novel by Cosmo 
Hamilton. It will be 
backed by an elab- 
orate and extensive 
advertising campaign. 
Henry Blackman Sell, 
Editor of Harper's 
Bazar says: "I think 
without the slightest 
question that this is 
Cosmo Hamilton's best book. It is really 
a very fine thing." Sir Philip Gibbs says : 
" The Rustle of Silk' is the best novel of 
post-war conditions that has yet been 
written. So many of the characters are 
recognisable that it will be interesting to 
see who fits the cap. The heroine is a 
most extraordinary young woman and in 
spite of myself I liked her."

THE WRONG MR. RIGHT 

By BERTA RUCK 

She could scarcely be 
classed as a regular 
working girl, because 
she had an income 
sufficient for her 
needs. She was inde- 
pendent but rather 
bored, so she went to 
work for an extremely 
capable and impressive 
looking young man. 
Then, to disguise her 
generosity to her fellow-workers, she in- 
vents a gentleman friend who becomes 
distressingly real. After which she is 
plunged into a series of dramatic, ro- 
mantic and amusing complications. A 
book that is as delightful as it is sur- 
prising in plot and action.

MERTON OF THE MOVIES 

By HARRY LEON WILSON 

Merton had expected a certain amount 
of trouble when he left Amos Gashwiler's 
"Emporium" in Simsbury, Illinois to go 
out to Hollywood and make himself 
famous as Clifford Armytage but he had 
no idea that the business of living (and 
making a living) could be so hard, or that 
the cup of success when finally he held 
it brimming to his lips could be so bitter. 
To Merton this story is tragedy, the deep 
poignant compelling tragedy of comedy, 
to the reader it is roaring fun all the way 
through from Simsbury to Hollywood — 
and after.

Decidedly Unusual Fiction

THE GREAT, PRINCE SHAN 

By E. PHILLIPS OPPENHEIM 

"The Great Prince 
Shan," a fascinating 
story ot world poli- 
tics in 1934, has every- 
thing that goes to the 
making of an enthrall- 
ing tale; a theme of 
present import, an in- 
tricate plot full of 
suspense and surprise, 
fascinating characters 
and an unusual love 
interest. This author's cleverness in 
weaving together the elements of love 
and political intrigue is too well known to 
require comment. It need only be as- 
serted that "The Great Prince Shan" will 
rank among Mr. Oppenheim's three or

the reader who likes a good story.

THE SECRET VICTORY 

By STEPHEN McKENNA 

Stephen McKenna 
wrote "Sonia" and 
proved his genius 
for brilliant por-

he writes a novel 
of the flapper of 
London society, the 
young girl who ab- 
sorbs the current 
theories of independence and comes to 
grief in her pathetically insincere efforts 
to live by the day's catch-phrases. The 
story is built around Eric Lane, drama- 
tist, most magnetic of Mr. McKenna's 
characters. It is a book of keen, sure 
strokes, the work of a realist with 
imagination, and has all the qualifications 
of a "Best Seller."

PIERRE AND LUCE

By 

the Author 
of 

"Jean 
Christophe' 



"M. Rolland," says the 
NATION, "has writ- 
ten an idyll, an idyll 
of love that is *born 
under the wing of 
death.'" It offers a 
strong contrast to his 
war novel, "Cleram- 
bault." It is light, 
delicate and charming, 
a true French love 
story. The war is 
used only as a background. "What I'd 
like," says Luce, as the planes sweep over 
Paris, "is a bit of happiness." This is the 
keynote of what is surely one of M. 
Holland's most attractive creations.

ABBE PIERRE 

By JAY WILLIAM HUDSON 

Not once in a de- 
cade comes such a 
first novel into a

elements unite to 
give the discriminat- 
ing reader what he 
or she most wants. 
The central charac- 
ter of the old Abbe 
Pierre alone would 
make a book, so kindly, so full of human 
charm is he. The story of how enchant- 
ing Germaine Sance, a French girl, loved 
the young American, David Ware, is as 
appealing a romance as can be found. 
The picturesque background of quaint

eager for fame and

apparently gives him all he craves. How 
his ideals are shattered in the hot-house

MY MEMORIES

By CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW 

Here is a book of 
reminiscences such as 
no other American

cey Depew has known 
every president from 
Lincoln to Harding; 
in his full and rich 
life he has, as the

everybody worth while." After repeatedly 
declining to write his recollections, Mr. 
Depew happened recently to spend some 
time at a dull health resort, and, to pass 
the time, began of his own accord to 
dictate his memoirs. The result is this 
fascinating volume.

To those who have long found de-

Boswell's beguiling candor and utter lack 
of reserve quite equal his fidelity as a 
biographer. This book which is prov- 
ing a treat for book connoisseurs, is 
based upon the chance discovery, in 
France, of a bundle of manuscript letters 
dating from 1758, when Boswell was 
eighteen years of age, to his death thirty- 
seven years later. These letters have been 
ably edited by Professor Tinker, of Yale 
University, who has for years made a 
study of 1 8th century English literature.

Broadcasting Ideas 

SOMETHING over four hundred years 
after the printing press gave its sudden 
and spectacular increase of the spread of 
the written word, an increase in the radius of 
the spoken word has taken place with even 
more dramatic rapidity. It seems hardly 
possible that it is only three months since the 
general broadcasting of music and news by 
radio telephone began, and now tens of thous- 
ands of people "listen in." Newspapers give 
regular departments to the program, and not a 
day goes by but some new and unusual feature 
is brought forward. One New York newspaper 
not only has a daily department given to radio, 
but has a Saturday tabloid supplement as large 
as the book supplements of other papers and 
fully as well supported by advertising. 

So spectacular has been progress that every- 
one is inclined to check up his own business and 
habits of life to see how it may in the future 
aflFect him. Probably the business that has 
most to think about is the phonograph 
business, which will feel the coming of 
the radio very keenly. In so far as the home 
phonograph is the means of casual diversion 
and not a personally selected program, the radio 
may take its place, the instruments costing 
less with no additional expense for records. 
It may also happen that while the invention is 
new many families will stay home to hear music 
rather than to go to the theater to see moving 
pictures. Ministers may wonder whether the 
Sunday afternoon service which people can hear 
so easily in their homes may not justify some 
people in feeling that they do not need the 
added advantage of group worship which the 
church building gives. 

One thing seems certain : that it can do more 
to eliminate isolation and loneliness in the 
world than any invention that the cen- 
tury has brought. No person can be so shut 



in that he cannot feel that the outside 
world is right at hand. No person can 
be so isloated on distant farm or out-of-the- 
way community that he cannot receive com- 
munications as easily as in city apartments. 
As the machinery is perfected and made port- 
able, the possibilities of tying together all 
people at all times seems unlimited. It seems, 
also, to have the characteristic that many recent 
inventions have had of being one that will bring 
the family unit together rather than separate it. 
Automobile, phonograph, movie, radio are all 
things the family will enjoy together. Any 
movement of this kind is for the good of 
unanimity, and any movement that brings the 
family together in the evening is to the ad- 
vantage and not disadvantage of the writers 
and distributors of books. Home libraries will 
thrive when the home is most constantly used 
by the whole family. 

The book-trade will have an active part in 
spreading facts about the radio, the literature 
on which is already increasing in great strides, 
and in doing so will play its part, as usual, in 
putting information at the disposal of all. 
Bookselling has never had in recent years the 
spectacular increase as an industry that has 
fallen, for instance, to the phonograph, but in 
season and out it finds increased importance 
and few setbacks. There has been no in- 
vention permanently to displace the use of 
print as a means of communication from the 
past and a repository for the wisdom of the 
present. 

Books andjWedding Anniversaries 

THAT books are not only appropriate for 
weddings but also for wedding anni- 
versaries is indicated by the names 
customarily given to the succeeding years. 
According to these lists the second wedding 
anniversary as the Paper Wedding, the third 
anniversary is the Leather Wedding, the 
fourth anniversary is the Booik Wedding, etc. 
On the second, third and fourth celebrations 
the iposiition of the .bookseller is very strong. 
His wares are appropriate to the Paiper Wed- 
ding; a great many of the custom bound books 
and flexible leather 'booksi are the most suitable 
of all gifts for the Leather Wedding; and the 
fourth anniversary in itself leads directly tc 
the bookstore. This list is one that the book- 
store can well afford to emphasize, especially 
as wedding aimiversaries come in increasing 
numbers during May and June.

Trade Associations Again 

THE emphasis of Secretary Hoover on the 
importance of trade associations is bear- 
ing accumulated fruit, and the announce- 
ment is now made that the Chamber of Com- 
merce of the United States has appointed a 
special committee to study and report on the 
subject of trade associations. The committee 
will direct its inquiry with a view to determin- 
ing in what manner such associations can 
render the greatest service to business and 
to the public. On April 12th, Secretary Hoover 
holds a meeting in Washington on the same 
topic, and the National Association of Book 
Publishers is to be represented by Frederic G. 
Melcher. The New York Evening Post has 
run an important and illuminating series of 
articles by leading business men during the 
past two weeks that has strongly emphasized 
the constructive value of what associations are 
doing. 

Keeping Prices Down 

IN comments on the present bill before 
Congress which is intended to bring about 
"price standardization," there have been 
some indications that the public would look 
lujpon this as an effort for keepUng, prices up 
in a period when everyt^ody wants as much 
of a bargain as possible. The economic truth 
of the situation should be put forth as often 
as possible,; and that is that merchandise with 
standardized prices broadly maintained is not 
high priced merchandise and that experience 
shows that the margin between production cost 
and consumer price is less than in unidenti- 
fiable products. 

It wnll be remennbered that three or four 
years ago there was appointed in London a 
committee to look into this question, an in- 
vestigation brought about by the feeling that 
a maintained price was a high price. The 
opposite report was brought in. It was found 
that the margin taken as a whole was less and 
that when producers set the retail prices they 
wanted them as low as possible so as to attract 
trade while at the same time showing a profit 
that would command the interested co-operation 
of the retailer. A chaotic state in boo»k dis- 
tribution would soon demonstrate how this 
would work. What is most important in keep- 
ing book costs down is large editions caused 
by wide distribution. If price cutting should 
set in, as it did twenty years ago, many dealers 
would go out of the book business, traveling 



costs, advertisiing costs, all distribution costs 
would increase per copy because there are 
fewer copies among which to divide the expense 
and there must be a consequent increase in sell- 
ing pnice. All this was very clearly pointed 
out in the letter which Charles E. Butler for 
the Booksellers' Board of Trade wrote to the 
Printers' Ink in a recent dE'scussion on the sub- 
ject. The book-trade has best hope of having 
popular prices, both lin current books and old 
classics, when the field of distribution is as 
broad as possible. There is no one in the 
trade but understands that a broad distnibution 
is only to be maintained by standardlized prices. 

Convention Rebate Certificate 

IT is important for every one going to the 
convention at Washington to understand 
about the rebate on the railroad fare which it is 
hoped may be arranged. If 350 railroad reser- 
vations are made, every one gets a rebate of 
one half the price of the return trip if everyone 
whof buys a ticket to Washington asks for the 
certificate issued by the railroad for the pur- 
pose, and presents this certificate when he reg- 
isters. The man living near Washington, in 
Philadelphia or in Baltimore should not neglect 
to do this as diligently as the man coming 
fromj Oregon, California or Texas. He saves 
something on his own ticket, and he also helps 
swell the number of certificates to the desired 
350 necessary to secure the rebate for every- 
body. Last year, the number of certificates 
fell just short of the desired 350. So every 
one is urged to co-operate this year. 

The Convention Program Committee announ- 
ces that Hon. W. Clyde Kelly, father of the 
Stevens-Kelly Bill now pending in Congress, 
which means so much to Price Standardization, 
is to speak at the Convention. 

Booksellers are iproud to feel that they are 
going to finance this convention themselves, by 
paying a registration fee of $10.00 a person, 
with due appreciation of the generosity of the 
publishers who have contributed to the support 
of the convention in the past.

How Maps and Atlases are Made 

By Alfred Sidney Johnson, Ph.D. 

Map Department, Rand McNally & Co., Chicago, 111. 



NOTHING 'better than a map was ever 
invented to enable one to keep a finger 
on the pulse of the world. By picturing 
forms and forces beyond one's immediate hori- 
zon, a map brings us to the very wings of the 
stage of which human history is being enacted 
before our eyes. Alongside of natural patriotic 
pride in our own home land, they inspire liber- 
ality toward others, developing a prudent 
caution in our attitude toward international 
affairs, and serving as an efficient corrective 
to narrow provincialism and jingoism. Maps 
evoke and develop those impulses that con- 
stitute the true geographical spirit. 

Raw Materials of Map-making 

Never were good maps needed more than 
now. The world ig( shaking itself down once 
more to a stable basis and has begun to evolve 
something like order out of the chaotic scramble 
of the recent upheaval. Long- before that great 
catastrophe, however, the narrow limits of our 
self-sufficiency had begun to fade from sight 
in the dawn of a broader view. And now we 
live in a day of expanding horizons, when the 
close intertwining of commercial and political 
relations the world over has created a com- 
munity of interest that transcends all local 
limitations, emlbraces all lands, and makes step- 
ping-stones of the islands of the -sea. 

Just as the placid waters of a small lake tell 
nothing of the titanic forces that created its 
channels of supply, so an ordinary atlas map, 
simple and clear in outline and selected detail, 
gives no indication of the great number of 
hands whose combined efforts made its pro- 
duction possible. 

Maps are based fundamentally on surveys 
made with the utmost delicacy of detail by 
federal government or other official parties (the 
U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey ; U. S. Geo- 
logical Survey ; Railroads ; Highway Commis- 
sions; State, County, and City Engineers, etc.), 
supplemented with a multiplicity of data 
gathered by other systematically organized 
maiohineries of information (Census Bureaus, 
Commercial Agencies, Chambers of Commerce, 
Boards of Trade, etc.). Thus the so-called 
"raw material" from which ordinary published 
maps are burilt up emlbraces many products that 
are themselves the finished output of the highest 
technical skill. Even the smallest inset map 
that one may find on an atlas page, put there 
to clarify or embellish some statement in the 
text, represents in its ultimate origin a be- 



wildering mass of typographic sheets, field 
notes, reports and bulletins, larger-scale charts 
and labored reductions, etc. 

An exhaustive description of the entire art 
of mapHmaking is of course impossible within 
the space available here, hut the reader may 
have a new attJitude of appreciation toward 
map-making, if we confine ourselves to a brief 
outline of some of the fundamentals. We shaill 
only give a hurried glance at some of the pre- 
liminary work that has to be done before one 
can look on the flat colored surface and get a 
true picture of the region mapped, with all its 
variations of boundary, shore-line, and surface 
contour. 

Fundamentals of Map Surveying 

There is a saying current among the Indians 
of Labrador, that, in order to know all there 
is to be known about a thing, you must know 
the front and the back, the right, and the left, 
the up-above and the dozvn-below of the thing. 
This primitive definition of the requirements of 
wisdom really sums up in a nutshell, the funda- 
mentals of the art of modern topography. For, 
translated into the technical terms of modem 
surveying, the tribal conception of wisdom con- 
sists in having that horizontal and vertical con- 
trol for starting-points on which all accurate 
surveys are dependent. The space in which we 
live and move — ^all abstract fictions of mathe- 
matical fairyland to the contrary — is one having 
only the three dimensions of length, breadth, 
and thickness; and the position of any point 
becomes a matter for permanent record the 
moment we can determine its precise bearings 
in relation to certain points, lines, or planes of 
longitude, latitude, and altitude which are ac- 
cepted as fixed in position. 

Absolute fixity of position, however, is a 
fiction of abstraction, not an objective reality. 
There are no absolutely fixed, immovable ob- 
jects or points of position anywhere in nature, 
any more than there are real straight lines or 
really parallel rays of light. Inasmuch, how- 
ever, as the stars in the celestial sphere over- 
head, even thru long periods of time, show 
changes in relative position so small as to be 
negligilble, we regard these heavenly bodies as 
practically "fixed" points, and accept them as 
our indicators. It is on observation of the 
stars — especially of the North Star, Polaris — 
that the determination of the precise location of 
geographical points on the earth's surface is 
fundamentally based.

A topographic map ds a relief map enabling 
one to picture truly to his mind's eye the essen- 
tial features of a region. It not only shows the 
shapes and elevations of land and water fea- 
tures by contour lines, the dominant ridges, 
slopes, and depressions, and graphically depicts 
other natural characterti sties, tout also indicates 
such artificial features as raiilroads, highways, 
and buildings, in their true relation to one an- 
other and to the land and water configuration. 
Such a map is possible only thru first estab- 
lishing fixed datum points of horizontal and 
vertical control from which more detailed sur- 
veys can be started. The work of accurately 
locating and permanently marking these datum 
podnts devolves upon the so-called "trianguila- 
tion'' parties in the field. Triangulation is thus 
the basic survey of all map-making. 

Triangulation 

A starting-point is first selected, prefer- 
ably on a level stretch of land. Its exact 
latitude (distance north or south of the 
equator) and longitude (distance east or 
west of a reference meridian) must be deter- 
mined by very accurate astronomical observa- 
tions with zenith telescope and transit. Next, 
the direction of true north from the starting- 
point must be accurately determined. This is 
usually done by observations of Polaris, allow- 
ance being made for its variation in position, as 
it swings around the true pole. From the true 
north, the necessary allowances to be made for 
deviations of the magnetic needle can be deter- 
mined. 

The next operation is to measure very accu- 
rately the length of a base-line laid off from 
the starting-point. For this purpose, there is 
now used a standardized metal tape made of 
invar, a nickel-steel alloy whose variations in 
length with changes of temperature are so slight 
as to bo negligrible. The direction of the base- 
line is then determined by accurately measur- 
ing the angle which the line makes with the 
true north. 

The base-line having been measured, and its 
ends marked by signals, a third point is now 
selected as the apex of the first great triangle 
in the network of connected lines that will later 
be laid out over the face of the country. This 
apex point may be a church spire, a tall tree, a 
specially built signal or observation structure, a 
mountain peak, or other prominent feature many 
miles away. The interior angles of the tri- 
angle must be measured so accurately that their 
sum will vary only infinitesimally, if at all, 
from the i8o degrees, or 2 right angles, neces- 
sary to satisfy geometric conditions. One side 
of the triangle (the base-line) and the interior 
ajigles being now known, it is a simple opera- 
tion in trigonometry to figure the length of the 



other two slides. Then, using the sides of the 
first great triangle as bases for new triangles, 
and the sides of these as bases for still others, 
all of whose angles and lengths of sides are 
precisely determined, the latitude and longitude 
of a:ll the meeting-points are readily computed. 
In this way, there is spread out, as it were, a 
great controlling net of triangular meshes cover- 
ing the entire region to 'be mapped. 

Very long lines can be used only in regions 
of high mountains, where natural elevations off- 
set the earth's curvature; and, in such cases, 
this curvature has to be allowed for in compu- 
tation. The line in California between Mounts 
St. Helena and Shasta, over 190 miles, is the 
longest on record. From 25 to 40 miles is now 
considered economical ifor primary or precise 
work; but, in many instances, the obstacles to 
visibility — as in heavily wooded flat country or 
where hills of almost uniform height lie close 
together — compel the use of much shorter lines, 
and may even necessitate construction of tow- 
ers 60 to 125 feet or more in height for the 
observing and signaling instruments. 

Secondary and, in turn, even tertiary tri- 
angles imay be laid off from those of the pri- 
mary triangulation, with shorter sides and less 
insistence on perfect accuracy; and from the 
datum points thus located, the whole area cov- 
ered by the triangulation may be broken up 
with a network of cross-lines, all self-<checking 
when laid on paper — which is the foundation 
work for the ordinary local land survey. 

Filling in the Details 

Theoretically, the method of triangulation 
could be followed thruout. Under certain con- 
ditions, however — as, for example, where the 
surface, tho flat, is covered with dense under- 
growth or tall trees — the necessary clear- 
ing of lines and erecting of high signals 
would make the expense and the delay 
prohibitive. Here the methods known as 
precise traverse and leveling are used in lo- 
cating stations, which are usually less than 
five miles apart. In this work the established 
railway lines (if any), highways, or other 
cleared stretches are followed quite closely. 
The instruments used are the invar tape or 
the chain, the theodolite, and the leveling rod 
on which slights are taken so as to allow for 
inclinations in figuring distances. From start- 
ing-point, the party proceeds on foot by meas- 
ured straight-line stages of different lengths 
and directions, taking "bearings" from the 
angles the station lines make w»ith the meri- 
dian. The process, in a word, consists in 
walking from point to point in straight lines, 
always carefully recording distance and direc- 
tion. From the field-work notes, the actual 
plotting of the map is done in the office.

Great Books are Life Teachers 

By Frederic G. Melcher 



WE are seeing the spoken word receive 
the most dramatic increase in its power 
since man developed a language. Long 
after the printed page first made it possible to 
broadcast ideas to all who would or who could 
read, it has come about that the spoken word 
can, by a record or by 
antennae, be sent to 
all who care to listen. 

This is a long step 
from face to face 
cjonversation or from 
platform to audience 
speech yet we still 
need as complement 
and background to 
speech, the magic of 
the printed word 
which will talk down 
over a thousand years 
or will serve as a 
reservoir for today's 
wisdom and observa- 
tion. I am to apeak today on books, and on the 
increased use they are now finding. It is most 
appropriate to speak on that subject this week, 
because in this country and irij Canada, those 
wiho are most interested in books and the ex- 
tension of their use and power are observing 
a Religious Book Week, April 2nd to 8th. 

I am holding in my hand as I speak a book 
that is nearly 5000 years old. It is a baked 
tablet brought by an explorer from the mounds 
that mark the former site of Erech, the an- 
cestral home of Abraham from whence his 
tribe treked west and began a national story 
which is the principal theme of the most widely 
used hook ever printed. The writing on the 
tablet is in little wedge shaped marks whose 
direct descendants are the 26 symbols that 
make our printed words. Thus our gratitude 
for religious inspiration and for the power to 
record and pass on that inspiration goes back 
to the very same valleys of the Eastern Medi- 
terannean. 

The explorer who gave me the tablet said 
that by far the largest number of the records 
found in the early villages were of religious 
character and while to-day the varieties of the 
fields covered by books is increasing with every 
year, the best seller from the past is still the 
Bible, and, among each year's record of new 
books, religion usually stands next to fiction in 
number of titles. 

But why should any group of people be 
especially concerning themselves about the 



THIS address was delivered on the 
opening day of Religious Book Week, 
Sunday, April 2, from the Westinghouse 
Radio Station ati Newark. This broad- 
casting station has an ordinary radius 
of delivery of about 1000 miles but has 
Ibeen picked up at a distance of 3000. 
There is no accurate estimate possible 
of the number bf receiving sets picking 
up these radio programs. This is probably 
the 'first use of this epochal invention in 
the (interests of general book, promotion. 



reading of religious books when the church 
has the spoken word as its chief vehicle of 
communication? Because, the spoken word 
must always need the supplementary power of 
the printed word if it is to have its full force, 
just as it has always needed it in the past. The 
Sermon on the Mount 
was spoken to hun- 
dreds, and has been 
heard by hundreds of 
millions. St. Francis 
spoke to the birds and 
is heard by generation 
after generation. 
Phillips Brooks spoke 
to a churchful of 
people, and his mes- 
sage went out to two 
nations. No speaker 
has ever addressed an 
audience with such a 
complete feeling of ef- 
fectiveness that he has 
not wished that every person in front of him 
might take further time to spend on the books 
that had furnished the background work of his 
inspiration. Sometimes the very eloquence of 
an address leaves the hearer suspicious that 
his reason has been overswayed by a personali- 
ty, but, in quiet resurvey of the theme, in com- 
pany with the rightly written book, the truths 
sink home permanently. 

"When I consider," said James Freeman 
Clarke, "what some books have done for the 
world, and what they are doing, how they keep 
up our hope; awaken new courage and faith; 
soothe pain; give an ideal life to those whose 
homes are cold and hard ; bind together distant 
ages and foreign lands; create new worlds of 
beauty, bring down truths from heaven, — I 
give eternal blessings for this gift, and pray 
that we may all use it aright and abuse it 
never." 

Is there any definition of "religious book" by 
which one can satisfactorily indicate the range 
of reading emphasized by this program? The 
terms given in the endowment of a well-knowni 
series of religious lectures stated that, "their 
scope shall be as wide as the highest interests 
of humanity," and the only limitation is that 
one end shall be kept in view, "the perfection^ 
of the spiritual man." Some such broad in- 
terpretation is given by those who ask peo- 
ple to turn with renewed attention to the book. 
As Dr. Fosdick has written for this week: 
"Something very significant has, happened to 



1036 



The Publishers' Weekly 



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," 

Or, to quote Dr. Maurice Harris : 

"We see the vital importance of religious 
leaders directing the reading of the age into 
the right channels. Modern religious literature 
must take into account the science and philoso- 
phy of today if it is to be read by the genera- 
tion growing up in our homes and passing thru 
our colleges." 

Is it enough that the distribution of printed 
inspiration and truth shall be left to chance 
and to unurged demand? Does it not seem 
natural that those who most vividly see the 
importance of its effect should join one another 
in co-operative emphasis on the religious book — 
the pulpit, the religious press, public speakers, 
the librarians, writers and publishers and those 
ibooksellers who realize, as Christopher Morley 
has said, that the man who buys a book buys 
not just twelve ounces of paper, ink and glue 
but may be buying a whole new life?" 

It is very frequently said, with too careless 
analysiis, that the tendency of modern life 
is to separate andj break up the family unit. 
And yet those new elements that have come 
into American life in this century have all 
seemed to be unifiers of the family. Our 
automobiles are usually of family size and a 
family possession; the movies keep the family 
as a unit in their pleasures much more than 
club or theater; the phonograph ties together 
the family interests more than public concerts ; 
and this marvellous radiophone is adapted for 
the home slitting room rather than the public 
hall. Is not the family being brought closer 
together rather than being separated and will 
not the more closely knit family find itself 
turning naturally to the enrichment of its spir- 
itual life? As the home reading lamp comes to 
its own, so will the tendency toward a wider cul- 
ture and deeper religious consciousness appear. 
Not outside admonition and pleading, but 
natural developments and inclinations will bring 
the family to wider love and use of books. 
This tendency as being increased by present cir- 
cumstances. The adult reader, stirred by the 
war and the world's turmoil, is trying to find 
his way to some clearer view of llife. As 
Raymond Calkins writes to the Religious 
Book Week Committee: 

"The hunger for such reading among the 
rank and file of people is very considerable. 
If the right means of calling really helpful 
books to their attention could be found and 
utilized, such reading would become general." 

Such means will be found if the pulpit, the 
press, the library and shop give the enlight- 
ened guidance that the reader asks for . As 
Emily Dickinson phrases it : 



"He ate and drank the precious words. 

His spirit grew robust ; 

He knew no more that he was poor, 

Nor that his frame was dust. 

He danced along the dingy days, 

And this bequest of wings 

Was but a Ixtok. What liberty 

A loosened spirit brings." 
What volumes will be included in this field 
we call religious books? In the terms of the 
Harvard lectures before referred to, shall they 
not be as wide as the highest interests of 
humanity, "fiction, poetry, art, natural science 
political economy, sociology, ethics, theology, 
all sacred writing and the more direct inter- 
ests of the religious life?" 

"A relig-ious book," writes Harold B. Hunt- 
ing, formerly manager of the Religious Book 
Department of the International Y. M. C. A., 
"is one which helps us to get the really best 
out of any of the concrete interests of life. 
In a way, all good books might be called re- 
ligious. Certainly all truly good literature is 
infused with the religious spirit. But there are 
certan books which more explicitly and directly 
undertake to point the way to the highest goals 
of life. These are the books that belong in 
the religious section of the bookstore." 

"On the other hand," Mr. Hunting goes on 
to say, "there are certain books loosely classed 
as religious that would be ruled out by the 
definition we are following: the commentaries, 
sermon outlines, technical books on theology, 
these are the professional tools of the clergy 
and are indirectly rather than directly religious. 
They do not appeal to the man on the street ; 
neither do books of sectarian propaganda. 
He is attracted, however, by books which really 
help him to get the most out of life." 

Among such books might be included such 
varying types as "The Imitation of Christ" 
by Thomas a Kempis, "Christianizing the So- 
cial Order" by Walter Rauchenbusch, "A Way 
of Life" by Dr. William Osier, "What Men 
Live By" by Dr. Richard C. Cabot, "The 
Meditations of Marcus Aurelius," The Auto- 
biography of Dr. Grenfell, Boutet de Monvel's 
"Joan of Arc," "The Aims of Labor" by Ar- 
thur Henderson. 

A minister in a Missouri church writes : 
"There is an obvious hiatus between the 
thinking of the modern preacher and that of 
the average layman. It is due largely to a 
difference in opportunity for reading. But 
there is an astonishing intellectual hunger 
among men and women today and to help meet 
this need we have established a Loan Library 
in the vestibule of our church. The books are 
selected with a view of presenting the best 
current wniting on every important side of life. 
All points of view that are actually constructive 
are represented. Some of the titles on this

church bookshelf are, "The Education of Henry 
Adams," "The Jesus of History" by T. R. 
Glover, "The Outline of History" by H. G. 
Wells, "The Second Book of Modern Verse" 
edited by Jessie Rittenhouse, and Robinson's 
"Life of Paul." 

Will the home table find its circle of readers 
happy with such books. Publishing . records 
show how wide is the demand. Those books 
which have at heart "the highest interests of 
humanity" have a sale assured and continued. 
The demand for such devotional books as that 
of the late Cardinal Gibbons, for Henry Drum- 
mond's "The Greatest Thing in the World," 
Knight's "The Song of the Syrian Guest," 
Sheldon's "In His Steps," these have found a 
circulation that makes pale and meagre the 
selling records of any hest seller of fiction. 

The Jewish people were given, in the Arabic 
tongue, the striking name of Am el Kitab, the 
people of the Book, or, as Rabbi Wise has 
pointed out, it might be more accurate to say 
"The people of a great literature," a literature 
high and noble that in turn made and remade 
them. While our English language has not for 
common use a literature from so great a span 
of years as is contained in the covers of the 
Bible, it has at its command the literatures of 
all ages and times and a current product with- 
out equal in variety. 

But if books are to serve their fullest pur- 
pose in enriching our national life, it will be 
readily agreed that they must early be brought 
not only into the lives of older readers but 
also into the lives of each coming generation. 
Our schools give the children the knack of 
reading, but church, library and home must 
see that this ability to read becomes a habit, 
a real happiness and inspiration to life. Books 
are an influence that will give a knowledge of 
past and present and the thought of the future, 
which will provide an insight into the lives 
of our neighbors at home and abroad, the 
people, with whom we share this globe and who 
must needs be sympathetically understood, 
which will give a conception of the finer things 
of life and of whatsover is of good report. 
Every church and every great religious denom- 
ination is bound to give especial thought to the 
religious home life of the children. 

"One reason," writes Dr. Henry Van 
Dyke, "why some of the younger generation 
(and quite as many if not more of the older) 
seem to have frivolous, restless and unsatisfied 
minds today, is because so many of our modern 
homes have no religious books in them : I 
mean books which in any form deal with the 
inmost and ultimate desires of the human spirit, 
and with man's natural longing* for a better 
understanding of and a more perfect harmony 
with the great source of life and its final good." 

Writes President Harding in a letter last 



week to the Religious Book Week Committee: 

"It is a pleasure to endorse the program of 
your organization for the wider circulation of 
books of a religious character. 

"I strongly feel that every good parent cares 
for his child's body, that the child may have 
a normal and healthy life and growth; cares 
for his child's mind, that the child may take 
his proper place in a world of thinking people; 
and such a parent must also train his child's 
character religiously, that the world may be- 
come morally fit. Unless this is done, trained 
bodies and trained minds may simply add to 
the destructive forces of the world." 

What an important place reading aloud 
might have in giving children the true ap- 
preciation of great books and at the same time 
keeping a sense of the family! Why should 
not the home reading hour be more generally 
revived, if not for every evening, certainly for 
Sunday evening? Cannot the whole family 
listen while father or mother reads aloud the 
imperishable "Story of Joseph" or of "The 
Prodigal Son"; of "The Odyssey" or of Roland, 
of King Arthur and His Table Round or of 
the valor of the Norse heroes; of the high 
courage of Columbus or of the visions of 
Joan the Maid? Are there not all the elements 
of character building in these? Could not 
young and old find common thrill and inspira- 
tion in the heroisms of a Livingston or of 
LaSalle, of St. Paul or Adoniram, Judson; of 
Lincoln or of Chinese Gordon? Can there not 
be found in each family group someone who 
can read aloud efifectively from the world's 
great poetry as it may be found in such 
anthologies as "The Golden Numbers," "Lyra 
Heroica" or "The Golden Treasury?" One 
great advantage of reading aloud is that only 
the best will stand the test, either for the reader 
or for listeners; thus the chaff is winnowed. 

If there is to grow up this closer unity of 
the family thru the clearer vision of the people 
and by the subtle influence of widely adopted 
inventions, the book is sure of its important 
place. The state is organized to teach its use. 
Our cities and towns have accepted the 
responsibility of free distribution and the 
church and home have a new conception of the 
importance of home bookshelves and of the 
printed word as a supplement to spoken word. 

Just as America's National Park program 
has meant our acceptance of the idea that all 
great vistas and noble heights should belong 
to the people forever, so the broader movement 
to make books, the most illuminating books, 
the most finely visioned books available to all 
the people is a national realization and de- 
termination that "their lines shall go out thru 
all the earth and their words to the end of the 
world."

Berne Comment on Copyright 

THE editor of Le Droit d'Auteur, the 
official organ of the Berne Convention car- 
ries in the February 5th issue the following 
comment on the American Copyright situation. 

"With a speed quite American, the text of 
the proposed law "To Amend the Copyright 
Law to Permit the United States to enter 
into the International Union for the Protec- 
tion of Literary and Artistic Works," of 
which we announced the plan in our general 
review of 1922 has been finished and put in 
the hands of legislative authorities at Wash- 
ington. 

"It contains eig'ht articles, a translation of 
which we will carry in our next number 
(March 15th) with appropriate commentary. 
To be sure, the text adopted by the sponsors 
is not entirely definitive, as the particularly 
deliicate and difficult problem of the retroactive 
effect of the law and of the convention has 
not yet been settled and negotiations have 
already begun on the subject. 

"Besides this, the opposition of the librarians 
against the plan for placing the importing 
of European publications under the control of 
the American publisher, holder of a shared 
right of publication, is not out of the way, 
for, by a unanimous vote passed at their 
conference of December 30th at Chicago, the 
librarians decided to oppose the adoption of 
the bill and to defend their point of view 
in the hearings of the Committee of Patents. 

"But in spite of divergence on points of 
detail the great moral efiFect that comes, mak- 
ing a beginning, is there." 

London Packers' Strike Ended 

THE packer's strike, which has severely 
handicapped publishing and bookselling in 
London for several weeks, was settled on 
March 24th with the men asking to be re- 
instated at the wage offered. The demands 
for reduction had been fought out by all the 
publishers and jobbers working as a unit, with 
the exception of Hodder & Stoughton, Cassell's, 
and Hutchinson, who had kept on doing busi- 
ness by agreeing to maintain the former wage 
scale. The reports received this week indicate 
that these three firms are now offering their 
men the reduction won by the fight of the 
other publishers and that they now have a 
labor troulile on their hands. 

The strike, which was brought by the Pack- 
ers' Union, came when the men refused to 
accept a 5s. reduction on the first of March 
following a 5s. reduction last September. The 
employers in a statement give the history of 
the case, and the wage on which the men are 
now reinstated is £3 14s. and 6d. as compared 
to £3 5s. of 1919. 



When living costs were at their heig-ht 
(268%), the wage scale reached to £4 4s. 6d., 
and the employers contended that, as the cost 
of living figures have now almost exactly 
paralleled the cost of 1919, it would not have 
been unfaiir to go iback to the £3 5s., but they 
consented to the higher figure of £3 14s. 6d. 
The publishing interests fought for their posi- 
tion with a dogged determination that brought 
into the shipping and billing room even the 
heads of the firms. 

What Trade Associations May 
and May Not Do 

THE points brought out in the recent corre- 
spondence on trade associations between Sec- 
retary Hoover and Attorney General Daugh- 
crty have been epitomized by Judge Alfred E. 
Ommen, general counsel of the New York Em- 
ploying Printers' Association. The Publish- 
ers' Weekly reprints from the American 
Printer. 

Illegal Acts 

Conspiracy to enhance prices. 

Conspiracy to curtail production. 

Conspiracy to suppress competition. 

Arbitrary establishment of cost of produc- 
tion or of cost of any item entering into cost 
production. 

Adoption of uniform trademarks or labels 
to be used by natural competitors who are 
members of the same association which would 
result in the same price being charged for all 
articles of the same class bearing the labels. 

The collection of credit information for the 
purpose of establishing blacklists. 

Permitted Acts 

Adoption of standard cost accounting sys- 
tems. 

Adoption of uniform trade phrases. 

Adoption of standard grades, forms of con- 
tracts, machinery and processes. 

Collection of credit information. 

Placing of insurance for members. 

Co-operative advertising and use of general 
trade promotion phrases, slogans, etc., such as 
"Made in Grand Rapids." 

Promotion of employees' welfare, education, 
etc. 

Co-operative management of legislative ques- 
tions and litigation. 

Co-operative action to promote closer rela- 
tions with the Government. 

Collection of statistics of production, costs, 
prices, consumption and distribution, and dis- 
semination of reports to members and to the 
public. 

Compilation from members' reports of prices 
received of consolidated statements giving 
average prices, these to be made public.

Senate Tariff Revisions About to be Reported 



As was reported two weeks ago, the 
schedules on books in the Fordney Tariff 
have been gone over by the members of 
the Senate Finance Committee in rewriting the 
bill for conference between the two houses. It 
is now expected in Washington that the printed 
text as the Senate would have it will be ready 
for public discussion within a week. The situ- 
ation as it faces the book-trade is the most 
serious one in its history. 

On the bright side it is quite confidently ex- 
pected that books over twenty years old and 
also books in foreign languages will be put 
back on the free list. Omitting these was so 
obviously unfortunate and would reflect so 
much discredit on any Congress that passea 
them that it would seem that no committee 
could stand against the criticism launched by 
the book-trade and the library and educational 
interests. It is also expected that the limitation 
of libraries to two copies in their importation 
will be removed, a limitation that had not been 
present in the previous bill and had not any 
virtues as an income maker or protection 
measure. This would permit the libraries of 
colleges and schools as well as public libraries 
to bring in their books duty free, but the bill 
will also need a phrase including all textbooks 
in the free list to meet the educators completely 
and it is to*be hoped that will also be included 
when the bill is reported. 

The situation as to the duty on current books 
is much more threatening. As will be remem- 
bered, the Fordney Tariff placed a 20% duty 
on an American valuation. The two chief 
protesting parties on this were the book-trade 
and the library and educational interests. Dr. 
Raney, representing the two latter, argued for 
15% duty but explained that the libraries would 
not wish to enter into the discussion as to the 
basis on which this duty should be levied. 15% 
on the English wholesale would be equivalent to 
a little over 30% on the cost of the book to the 
importing publisher. 

The book-trade, glad of this support, believed 
that this still left it too high and not justified 
by the need of manufacturing protection. In 
a draft presented to the Senate Finance Com- 
mittee by Mr. Macrae on request in February, 
the duty was left at 20%, but a strong plea 
and just argument was made for having the 
duty levied on the cost of the book as it was 
bought in England. A special paragraph was 
drafted, which, if it were included, would make 
this assured. If such provision is not provided 
and if duties are levied on either the American 
valuation or the English wholesale (which 
would be practically equivalent in the book 
business) the duty paid will be unfortunately 



heavy and will immediately curtail publishing 
relations with London. In the old Payne- 
Aldrich Bill, the tariff was 25%, but levied on 
the cost to the American publisher. 

If, as has been rumored in the last few days, 
25% is to be brought in without provision for 
levying it on the actual cost (or what would 
be between 50 and 60% on the cost) the chance 
of publishing in America important English 
books, whose sale might run only into the hun- 
dreds, is practically eliminated. 

If this is the result of pressure brought by 
the Printing Unions, they are serving their 
Binding Unions poorly, because most of these 
books are brought in in sheets to be bound in 
cloth on this side. 

The possibility of an excessive scale on 
leather binding is also threatening if as the 
binders are arguing the paragraph 1529 on the 
free list should admit to the free list books 
twenty years old only on the condition that they 
have been printed and bound more than twenty 
years. This is a move to make effective over 
all types of books the very high tariff that the 
unions are asking on leather binding. Tariff 
on binding was put in the Fordney Bill at 
33 1-3%, and the binders are 50%. As was 
well pointed out by Charles E. Lauriat, Jr., in 
his careful analysis of this leather binding situ- 
ation, "even S3 i/3% is higher than is needed to 
protect American workmen," and he quoted 
comparative prices in both countries to prove 
this. The hand binderies that are doing good 
custom work are getting in this country all 
the business that they can handle, and as fast 
as good craftsmen increase, there is more to be 
had. 



Missouri Good Book Association 

AVERY energetic effort to enlist all groups 
in the promotion of religious books has 
been undertaken in St. Louis. Under the name 
of the "Missouri Good Book Association." an 
informal organization has been created to 
push the experiment of cooperative publicity. 
The lead in this movement has been taken by 
Samuel T. Larkin, formerly Presbyterian 
minister and lately connected with publicity 
and promotion work. The Church Federation 
of St. Louis undertook to get out the message 
"Good Books Are Life Teachers" to all 
churches and Sunday Schools. The book- 
sellers not only of St. Louis but thru the 
state have been kept thoroly posted, and a 
large amount of the material from the Religi- 
ous Book Week Committee has been dis- 
tributed.

BOOK DEPARTMENT OF THE PATTEN CXX, HONOLULU. 



Developing Business in Honolulu 

THE Patten Company of Honolulu has add- 
ed the adjacent store to its floor area and 
has now an exceptionally well arranged and 
well lighted store for books, office furniture 
and stationery. The book department, as is 
shown in the photograph, carries a large stock, 
and the white woodwork and mahogany tables 
give an ideal display for the books. 

W. N. Patten started in 1909 after having 
been with the Hawaiian News Company for 
six years, and from the three employees then 
required the business has grown to require 
thirty, and the volume of sales is now more 
in one month than it was at that time for the 
entire year. Recently Fred de Vilbiss, for- 
merly with Paul Elder & Company, San Fran- 
cisco, went to Hbnolulu, to take charge of the 
book department. Harry M. Snyder, who rep- 
resents a group of a dozen publishers in their 
business expansion to Hawaii and the Far East, 
has, since his last trip, spoken with great en- 
thusiasm of the steady growth of Hawaii as a 
book outlet. This photograph corroborates his 
opinion that books are being well handled. 

Ministers as Reviewers 

AN interesting special feature of Religious 
Book Week in Philadelphia was the plan 
of the Public Ledger for a special Religious 
Book Week supplement for the issue of April 
8th. For this issue ten of the leading minis- 
ters of the city representing all denominations 
were asked to write signed reviews of the 
prominent books. 



A New Swindling Trick 

ANEW swindling trick has been described 
recently by the Los Angeles Record, 
selling Bibles to dead men. Dave Gershon, 
a speaial agent of the U. S. Department of 
Justice has descrilbed the way the scheme 
was worked: • 

"The 'promoter,' clipped the death notices 
from all the papers. Then he sent Bibles 
to all the i).:rsons ment'oned in the column, 
accompanied with a letter thanking the p^rson 
for his or her kind order, and expressing 
the hope that he or she would be perfectly 
satisfied with the Bible and would send pay- 
ment promptly. 

"When the Bible arniived, the relatives of 
the deceased opened the letter, and probably 
thought— "Wasn(t that niq^-the last thing 
he or she did on earth was to buy a fine 
leather bound Bible?" 

In practically all cases, they sent the money 
to the promoter — ^to "keep faith" wiith the 
last order made by the deceased relatfve just 
as the promotor planned they would. 

The Department of Justice ran the pro- 
moter down, and received this impudent 
answer : 

" 'You can't touch me, because you can't 
iprove that an order wasn't given for the 
Bibles, The only way you could prove it 
was on the word of the person himself, and 
he's dead.' 

"And he, legally speaking, had the 'drop' 
on the Department of Justice. The depart- 
ment, however, ran him out of the district 
on a threat of 'vagging him.' "

Bookstores for Small Cities 

THE question of effective book distribution 
iin small places, which is so continuously 
in the minds of publishers, received interesting 
comment lin a letter which Brentano received 
from an author recently who had written to 
express appreciation of "The Doom Trail" and 
to comment on the need for bookstores in a 
town such as the one near her own, a com- 
munity of between fifteen and sixteen thousand 
population. The letter reads as follows: 

"Our nearest town is the richest town in 
the county, per capita, but at the moment it is 
in the depths, financially and in morale; even 
the movies are deserted. At the same time, I 
strongly feel that at heart the rural New Eng- 
lander as at all times held firmly by tradition; 
it was always a part of his tradition that he 
should own booiks, and althoi he certainly has 
forsaken that tradition during his late years 
of prosperity, at seems to me by no means un- 
likely that having now been shaken from his 
later acquirement of less substantial — I was 
going to say of more friv- 
olous — things, he may very 
well be urged to return to 
his earlier faith in the 
others, book owning among 
them. 

"I wish some plan might 
fee wlorked out by the pub- 
ishers of ;putting the new 
books before the small- 
town public; real money is 
held in the small towns, and 
by people of sound taste 
very largely. It is merely 
that they have got out of 
the halbit of buying bfooks, 
and I believe they could be 
led back into the ways of 
righteousness. 

"The library habit is all 
right, but it ought to lead 
farther than the mere read- 
ing of books;' and New 
Englanders will spend their 
money for anything they be- 
lieve substantial and lasting. 
For that reason I cannot but feel that it 
need not be a difficult matter to bridge the 
thought that "This is a book you'll want to 
read" and the other, that 'This is a book you'll 
want to own." But people cannot buy books 
when they are not on sale before them; and 
the small-town merchant will not order in any 
quantity, if at all. I wish we might see some 
sort of serviceicomfbination between the pub- 
lishers whereby at least one copy of each new 
book might be seen in some window of the 
simall town ; I believe the appeal would be a 
large one, at any rate in New England." 



Conference and Book Fair 

THE League of American Pen Women will 
hold at Washington, April 25th-28th a sil- 
ver jubilee biennial conference and book fair. 
The League now composes fifteen hundred 
writing women with centers in fifteen cities, 
this growth coming from a beginning of sev- 
enteen members twenty-five years ago. Part 
of the twenty-fifth conference will be devoted 
to the book fair which will occupy a wing in 
the Warden Park Hotel, the exhibits being 
open only to the work of members. On the 
26th there will be an anniversary breakfast at 
12 o'clock, for which plates for six hundred 
have been planned. Among the guests on this 
occasion will be Mrs. Frances Hodgson Bur- 
nett, Mary Roberts Rinehart, Basil King, Mar- 
garet Widdemer, Maurice Francis Egan, John 
Farrar of the Bookman, W. F. Bigelow, edi- 
tor of Good Housekeeping, Lyman Sturgis of 
the Century Company and General Pershing. 
Eliza Poate Van Dyne of 1728 H Street, 
Northwest, is Secretary of the Conference. 




ONE OF BURROWS BROTHERS SIX PAINTED SIGNS ADVER- 
TISING BOOKS. 



Burrows Uses Billboards 

SIX large painted signs and widely scattered 
space for fifty posters are being used in 
Cleveland for bookstore publicity by Burrows 
Brothers Company. They believe from the 
general comment about the signs and the num- 
ber of people that have noticed them that it 
can be considered a very effective way fo»- 
keeping the store before an established public 
and in the minds of potential buyers. The 
large painted signs such as the one reproduced 
herewith are done in several colors.

Reminiscences of a Book Scout 

By Joseph Jewett Barton 

VIII. '*The Gentle Art'' 



SOMETIME ago I wrote about a near- 
sighted, little Jew named B. P. who 
bought **pigs in pokes" at my friend Bill's 
auction sales. I thought it was a rather divert- 
ing little anecdote, and tried to show the 
ridiculousness of a trait that had caused him 
to fritter away all his money, a couple of 
houses, and finally his second-hand furniture 
store gambling on the contents of nailed up or 
fastened boxes, barrels and trunks, and other 
receptacles. 

In a lofty, superior sort of a way I patron- 
ized B. P., and quite often volunteered a little 
advice. Perhaps I felt some sympathy when 
I heard he had lost his store owing to his 
pernicious habit. I most certainly had a feel- 
ing of regret when I was told he was broke, 
as it is very sad to be without funds, especial- 
ly in the declining years. 

A couple of weeks ago I dropped into Bill's 
place on sales day. I generally managed to 
get there the day before and look things over, 
but I had been busy elsewhere and Bill had 
not been getting much in my line lately, any- 
way. There was a good sized crowd present, 
and it was rather difficult to see what there was 
for sale. Finally I got hold of one of the 
helpers and asked him if there was anything 
there for me, and he said there was a lot of 
boxes in the rear that had some books in them. 
I got to the rear and saw that a big man, 
whom I didn't know, was trying to see thru 
the cracks of the boxes. He seemed quite in- 
terested, and he looked as tho he might be 
a determined, obstinate bidder; one of the 
kind that intends to have what he wants, even 
tho he pays two or three times what an article 
is really worth, and often ruins what might 
have been a perfectly good auction. When he 
moved away I took a look, and the boxes cer- 
tainly had books in them, and as far as I could 
see thru tho cracks, they were in good, fresh 
condition. 

About three o'clock in the afternoon they 
got to the boxes, and Bill in his pulpit asked 
for a bid on "seven boxes, said to contain books 
and miscellaneous objects." "How much?" I 
offered ten dollars, and somebody on the other 
side, whom I could not see nor hear very well, 
kept raising my bids a dollar at a time until 
he reached twenty-five. 

Thinking to discourage his pertinacity, I 
jumped to thirty, and then he borrowed my 
tactics and bid thirty-five. I thought thirty- 
five dollars on suspicion was plenty and I 



quit, left the place and went about my business 
in another part of town. 

I went into Bill's yesterday morning and 
seeing him leaning against an iron pillar with 
apparently nothing on his mind and ready for 
conversation, I said, "Bill, who wa^ that 
bidding on those boxes of books against me 
the other day? Was it a big, heavy set man 
about fifty years old?" "No," he replied, 
"B. P. bought 'em." "But I thought B. P. 
was broke, also cured of. buying mysterious 
boxes. He can't even read sb what would he 
ever do with seven boxes of books?" I objected. 

Bill smiled and said he had given B. P. up 
as a tough proposition long ago; he had often 
refused to take his bid on lots he was quite 
sure were of no value, trying to save him for 
old times' sake, but it had no effect, and he, 
Bill, had troubles of his own. 

I sought out B'. P. and found he had rented 
a store temporarily up on Broome Street, and 
for the second time in about twenty-eight years 
he had really bought something worth having, 
at least from my point of view. 

There was a set of the iih edition of the 
Britannica, a set of the Harvard Classics, an- 
other of Mark Twain in blue cloth, gilt; 
Dickens in 25 vols. Thackeray in 30, and over 
300 more miscellaneous books, mostly good, 
espedially a nice "Gentle Art," by Mr. Whistler 
in boards, uncut, Heinemann 1890. 

On my way home I sat looking out of 
the car window, noting the number of com- 
mon, ordinary people who neither have books 
in their attics, buy out-of-print items, nor are 
in any way connected with the book-trade. 
Then I looked at the dirty, slushy streets, the 
drizzling rain from a darkening sky, and- the 
altogether general dreariness of life in the 
State of New Jersey. The siky was dull brown 
and gray, with a dash of pink. Ideas crept into 
my brain, and I thought I would surely have to 
kill that B. P. I could picture me and Henry 
Ford and the Dearborn Puiblishing Company 
working together all the rest of our lives. 

But then again, twice in twenty-eight years 
isn't very often, and B. P. needs the money, and 
his wife is a nice old lady ; and tomorrow or 
the next day or sometime, the sun will shine 
again, and the slush and the rain will mostly 
run into the cellars, and it will be spring: and 
I will sell Graham the Whistler and make 
fourteen dollars and seventy-five cents, per- 
haps.

The Voluntary Censorship Plan 



AN ingenious system of voluntary censor- 
ship has been devised to eliminale inde- 
cent plays and make political censorship 
of the stage unnecessary; and the plan seems 
in a fair way to be put into effect. The scheme 
was evolved at a meeting orf dramatists, man- 
agers, and producers, actors and vice crusaders, 
at the American Dramatists' Society on March 
10. The Mayor, Police Commissioner Enright, 
and Commissioner Gilchrist of the License 
Department have signified their approval of 
the plan, and their formal approval is virtually 
assured as soon as the plan in all its details 
can be laid ibefore them, the approval to include 
a policy of hands off by political censors. On 
March 29, the Producing Managers' Association 
adopted a resolution accepting the plan. 

The scheme plans the drawing of a panel of 
300 citizens, 150 would be nominated by the 
theatrical organizations and 150 by the Better 
Public Shows Movement and the City Ad- 
ministration. Good citizenship and common 
sense would be the basis of the nominations. 
Channing Pollack, Vice-President of the Au- 
thor's League, who was one of the group which 
drafted the plan, outlined its prdbable working 
as follows : 

"If a complaint against a given theatrical 
production is received by the city officials, they 
may call for a jury of twelve to be selected 
from the panel above described, as representing 
the theater on the one side and the public on 
the other. Each side will have two peremptory 
challenges. First, they must decide whether 
any part of the production is objectionable 
from the point of view of public morals. 
Second, is the plan as a whole objectionable? 
A vote of 9 to 3 constitutes a verdict. If the 
jury decides that a manager must readjust 
his play, he will have one week in which 
to make the changes. Then the jury will re- 
view the play. If the jury decides that the 
iplay as a wihole is objectionable, all interests, 
including the dramatists, owners, producers, 
actors and the public, agree that the play shall 
be taken off and that there shall be no appeal 
to the courts. This agreement is to be included 
in every contract made (by the managers with 
both dramatists and actors." 

This plan will be virtually a compromise be- 
tween the efforts of the more zealous critics of 
present-day plays and those who oppose any 
form of censorship. 

The zealous critics have been unusually active 
this season. Perhaps the plays have been un- 
usually deserving of condemnation. The Rev. 
John Haynes Holmes recently called the the- 
atrical situation in New York an unmitigated 
scandal. 



'T am opposed, however," he said "to a cen- 
sorshiip, and it is because I am opposed that I 
want the present situation cleaned up before we 
have the censorship imposed upon us. A cen- 
sorship has no place in a democracy because it 
involves the substitution of a governnment of 
persons for a government of law — an opinion 
for a principle in social order. Furthermore, 
a censorship, however well administered, is an 
intolerable interference with the free activity 
of the creative spirit." 

The State censorship o:^ the movies is now 
in force and serves as a warning of what might 
befall the stage unless the stage censors itself. 

Suppression of 'books has always aroused a 
storm of controversy and book interests are 
conscious that it is better to censor than be cen- 
sored. Next week a committee of the National 
Association of Book Publishers consisting of 
Arthur H. Scribner, George Palmer Putnam 
and Alfred Harcourt are to meet with an Au- 
thors' League Committee headed by George 
Creel to discuss the situation asl it exists in the 
book field and make an analysis and possible 
recommendation. 

To Build a Stronger Nation 

A CAMPAIGN of publicity on health 
building and heafftih literature is being 
launched for the week beginning May ist by 
a large national committee, the initiative for 
this effort coming from the Physical Culture 
Magazine. William Muldoon, famous as a 
•friend oif Roosevelt and other men in their 
health building, is chairman of the committee, 
which includes suoh names as Walter Camp, 
Grantland Rice, Dougflas Fairbanks, Bernarr 
Macfadden and many others. The strong back- 
ing that has been obtained for the movement 
promises t<y give it a decided nationwide aspect. 
A letter from General John J. Pers-hing to the 
committee reads: 

"In vdew of the important position which 
physical education has assumed is our national 
life, both from the standpoint of economic 
productivity and national preparedness, I feel 
it to be the duty of all patriotic citizens to 
assist in every way the movement started to 
build up the physical well-being of every indi- 
vidual in the country." 

The committee is receiving letters from 
many mayors and governors, expressing inter- 
est in the plan of offering to give publicity 
to the effort. 

The book-trade has already become inter- 
ested, and stores probably will be having spe- 
cial exhiibits with a consequent spread of the 
good health idea.

Books in the Hope Chest 



AVERY significant indication of the fact 
that books are receiving more consideration 
than ever before as part of the equipment of 
the new household is shown by the leading 
editorial in the April number of the Woman's 
Home Companion headed "A Unique Hope 
Chest": 

"We confess to a kind of sentimental fond- 
ness for 'Hope Chests.' It has always appealed 
to us, this idea of a girl laying by fine linen 
against the day of her marriage. We have 
aways counted it to be one of the loveliest of 
our grandmothers' customs, and have done our 
best to encourage its perpetuation. 

" 'Why don't yiou start a hope chest ?' we 
asked one of our ultra-modern young friends. 
'I have started one,' she said. 'But I wouldn't 
be bothered collecting 'a lot of fine linen. 

" 'Tom and I expect to live very simply. In- 
stead of expensive damask, we will have, for 
the first years, at any rate, on our mahogany 
drop-leaf dining table, those nice linen-colored 
runners that cost little, look charming, and are 
so easily laundered. But I'm going to have a 
hope chest, and you wouldn't knowi it for a 
chest at all, maybe, for, to be exact, it's a 
bookcase. The treasures I'm collecting for 
Tom's and my house in the future years are 
books. Now don't you think that is a nice 
idea?' 

"A hope chest of books! How that stirs 
the imagination! How a centerpiece pales 
before that fine volume of Lamb, or Meredith, 
or Galsworthy! How a tablecloth and a dozen 
napkins shrink into nothingness compared with 
that splendid practical edition of Shakespeare, 
and the fine Shakespeare commentaries, or Kip- 
ling, or Stevenson, if you like, or some of the 
modern essayists. As for dish towels, even of 
the best weave, two dozen, three dozen of them, 
who would think of them in the same day with 
those fifteen fat volumes of a fine standard 
encyclopedia, or the two fat volumes of Wells's 
'Outline of History.' And what table embroid- 
eries could be better than, or half so good as, 
those richly-dight pages of the poets, standard 
and modern — volumes of them there, all in a 
row! Sheets, pillow cases, sets of doilies, sets 
of napkins! At the best, these are temporal 
matters, that will in time wear and tear and 
need to be replaced, but the Dickens, the 
Thackeray, the beloved set of Shaw, the Emer- 
son, the Froude, these wrill last for a lifetime, 
and the treasures they hold will be always at 
hand. 

"And, oh yes, there is one other thing that 
commends it mightily in our eyes. The old- 
fashioned hope chest was an affair appertain- 



ing peculiarly to the bride. The bridegroom 
looked at the snowy linen not because he took 
any particular pride in it, but because she did. 
Was that beautiful damask? Well, so much 
the better. He was willing to take her word 
for it. Personally, he wouldn't have known 
damaisk from duck. So he stood outside of all 
this splendor, and had only a vicarious pride 
and no share in the selection of it. 

"But a hope chest of books! There is his 
sympathetic opportunity. He knows how to 
buy books, or he thinks he does. He has his 
favorite present-day authors; and he thinks he 
knows a thing or two about what standards 
and what 'moderns,' as well, are indispensable 
to a really good home library. So the hope 
chest is his, too. And by and by, when they 
read together in their own library, under the 
light of a cozy lamp, it would not surprise us 
if he put down his book a moment to look 
with a delighted eye on the bookshdves in 
the firelight and to remark heartily in modern 
vernacular, 'Some hope chest, I'll say!*" 

New Chicago Bookshop 

THE Paiine Book Co. has recently opened 
a new shop at 87 West Randolph Street, 
Chicago, across from the Olympic Theater. 
The new store carries new and rare books, 
limited editions and other scarce items, and a 
fine assortment of the second-hand books that 
are lin great demand. The stock has been so 
arranged that the tKX)ks are easily accessible 
to the book hunter and includes late fiction, 
popular priced fiction, poetry, drama, works 
on art and technical sulbjects, magaziines, as 
well as other lines that go to make up a 
well-equipped book shop. One of the features 
of the new shop is the arcade-Hke window dis- 
play — ^an innovation in local book circles. 

In November, 1914, L. W. Paine opened 
a retail store at 33 South Clark Street 
under the name, "The Economy Book Shop." 
The number of its friends has grown to such 
an extent that lit was deemed advii sable to 
open up another store. After a careful inves- 
tigation and a checking of the amount of 
traffic at various places the new space was 
leased. 

The Economy Book Shop will still be 
operated under the name "Paine's Economy 
Book Shop,'' at the old address. 

A few months ago the Paine Book Co. 
(not Inc.) moved its offices and wholesale 
depaTtment from the retail store at 33 South 
Clark Street, where it had been situated, to 
new space at 75 West Van Buren Street.

"Beware the houghtonmiffs, my son !

Beware the doubledays, and shun

He took his knopfy sword in hand: 
Long time the houghtonmiffs he sought. 
So rested he by the putnam tree, 
And stood awhile in thought. 

And as in crowell thought he stood, 
The Flemrevell with eyes of flame 
Barsehopkined thru the longmans green, 
And dunlapped as it came. 

Dodd mead ! dodd mead ! and from his steed 
His sully sword went laird and lee ! 
He left it dead and with its head 
He lothroped off scot free. 

"And hast thou slain the Flemrevell? 
Come to my arms, my bradley boy?" 
Away with care ! devin adair ! 
He scribnered in his joy.

Wanted: A Perfect Bookseller 

MUCH has been said recently to encourage 
new people to enter the book business and 
frequent estimates are offered by the exper- 
ienced as to the qualifications for the work and 
possible reemuneration. One of the graduates 
of Miss Graham's school in Philadelphia has 
sent to the Publishers' Weekly a clipping 
from the Help Wanted columns of the New 
York Times which she seems to think painted 
the requirements in a way that would permit 
not more than one person in a million to 
qualify. This indeed would be the bookseller 
par excellence.

Beginners in the Book Game 

'T'HE American News Trade Journal thru 

1 which the American News Company has 
been reaching out for new outlets for books 
as well as magazines, has found a ready re- 
sponse in the last few months, and in the 
current issue it states that it has started over 
five hundred new handlers of books in the past 
year. 

'*We firmly believe," it says, "that the time 
is not far distant when practically every man 
who sells magazines will also carry a limited 
line of books. The two lines are so closely 
allied as to be almost inseparable." 

Most periodical dealers are likely to make 
a venture into a new field in a small way, and 
as a practical step for a man with slight capi- 
tal to add a display of 'books it suggests the 
following procedure : 

First, get a general book catalog as a guide 
to ibusiness, one such as the News Company 
dssues. 

Second, buy a revolving display rack or a 
special counter such as the Munger display 
rack. (The importance of proper display of 
books has been strongly emphasized in all 
recent progress in bookselling). 

Third, order twenty-five best sellers, (twenty 
novels and five non-fiction), forty or fifty 
popular copyrights. 

Fourth, get five hundred of the News Com- 
pany's bulletin of book chat. 

Fifth, send a form letter to three or four 
hundred families announcing the starting of a 
limited ^book department and enclosing the book 
chat. 

Sixth, rubber stamp all store mail matter 
and 'hills with announcement of tihe book 
department. 

Seventh, establish a circulating library, 
charging two dollars per enrollment and fif- 
teen cents a week for any book. 

Eighth, advertise book service in the local 
paper. 

Ninth, make a window display. 

Tenth, announce your book service in the 
motion picture slides. 

Eleventh, card index every customer with his 
needs and interests. 

Twelfth, keep in touch with the News Com- 
pany, and if you have any trouble ask questions. 

All this can he done on an investment of a 
hundred dollars. 

Over 150,000 of the three "Mirrors books" 
have thus far been sold, Putnams announce. 
The "Mirrors of Washington" leads with 75,- 
000, the "Mirrors of Downing Street" is cred- 
ited with 45,000, and already the "Glass of 
Fashion" has reached the 30,000 mark.

Newspapers and Printers 

THE New York Newspaper Publishers' 
Association, having behind one long 
extended difficulty with the pressmen, is now 
facing the renewal of a contract with the 
printers when the existing arrangement ex- 
pires May 1st. 

According to the publishers' statement, the 
chief difficulty in getting any new contract 
with the printers is that "Bix Six" will 
arbitrate only those things that might be set- 
tled unfavorably to the publishers' interest, but 
questions that the Union deems to be unfavor- 
able to its side the Union will not consent to 
submit to arbitration on the ground that these 
points are covered by the Union's "laws." In 
the present discussion, the chief argument is 
what is known as the "bogus" rule which re- 
quires that all advertising matter which has 
been set up outside of the newspaper plant 
shall be reproduced in the plant of the news- 
paper within four days of the date the matter 
appears in print. This old rule more than any 
other in the trade shows the absurd possibili- 
ties of one-sided contracts. 

In the conditions of national advertising it 
is very often decidedly advantageous for the 
advertising agent to plan and set copy for a 
whole campaign at some printing office where 
very special composition can be done and the 
whole matter can then be reproduced in plates 
for the various newspapers. When this plate 
matter goes to the New York newspaper it is 
printed at once, but according to this rule all 
the copy must then be set up by the men In 
that particular shop by a machine and by hand, 
it must be proof-read, the errors corrected 
and when it is all complete it is thrown into 
the melting pot, this process to be repeated in 
each one of the New York newspapers where 
the plate matter has been set. 

Strike Affects Binding Cloths 

THE strike in the Rhode Island mills, of 
over two months' duration, has affected the 
Interlaken Mills, one of the largest manufac- 
turers of book cloth. The Company's mills 
were completely closed down with the excep- 
tion of the fininshing plant which has run 
shorthanded for a while. This mill is one of 
those in the Patuxet Valley group Which has 
had no organized labor, and the fight has been 
particularly bitter. The average wage of the 
skilled worker, according to reports issued, is 
slightly over a thousand dollars a year, and 
the mill owners wish to reduce this by twenty 
per cent. The men feel that a lower wage is 
not going to give them living conditions of the 
kind they should have for themselves or their 
families. The contest seems likely to be pro- 
tracted. 



California and the Book Tariff 

AVERY energetic and well directed action 
to keep the bookseller's needs to the front 
in the minds of Congress was taken by the 
Booksellers' Association of San Francisco Bay 
Counties on March gth. It wired to all of 
California's representatives in both houses, 
protesting against the way the tariff had been 
drafted both as to the free list inclusions and 
the American valuation. Senators Johnson and 
Shortridge and Representatives Kahn and No- 
lan promptly acknowledged the telegrams and 
expressed their interest therein. Mr. Nolan 
trassmitted the representations to Mr. Ford- 
ney and when his reply seemed to indicate that 
he was satisfied with the bill as it had been 
submitted to the Senate, the Booksellers' Asso- 
ciation drafted a very complete and adequate 
summary of the whole situation, combining 
with the protest of the booksellers that of the 
librarians of San Francisco, whose interests 
lie in the same direction. This correspondence 
was reprinted in a four-page form and widely 
circulated. 

Parnassus on Wheels Again 

THE inquiry in our editorial columns a few 
weeks ago as to who would be on the roads 
this summer selling books has brought details 
from Frank Shay, the New York bookseller, 
announcing that he himself will start out 
with a wagon wihen summer comes, and the 
route will be along Cape Cod from Province- 
town to Wood's Hole. Mr. Shay expects to 
visit each town once a week and on schedule, 
and the stock will include good low priced 
books, especially from such series as Every- 
man's, World Qassics, Modern Library, 
Home University and a selection of new books. 
He is also planning to add a circulating library 
to the equipment, which will be a new feature 
in such bookselling and will be made possible 
from the fact that he will go back and forth 
over the same ground during the summer. 
"Ted" Robinson, a bookseller and columnist 
of Cleveland, is an entrant into the caravaning 
field according to an earlier announcement. 

As Five is to Two 

THE Phoenix Magazine, published by stu- 
dents in the University of Qiicago, has de- 
duced as the result of a hundred question- 
naires that the college men there spend $i75r 
ooo every three months for dances as com- 
pared with $66,000 spent in the bookstores. As 
the dance expense was incurred at the stu- 
dent's own free will and the books were pre- 
sumably mostly bought as class textbooks un- 
der compulsion, the comparison is certainly de- 
cidely to the disadvantage of the book.

A WARNING! 

61 Fourth Ave., 
New York City. 
Editor, Publishers' Weekly : 

Last Friday a young fellow, of about twenty, 
neat-looking, and alert, came to my store and 
told me a hard luck story of being out of 
work for several weeks. He said he used to 
work as a packer in the American Book Co. 
and that hd had not had anything to eat for 
the last two or three days. I gave him some 
money to get a good meal and told him to 
come back and I would try, to help him. When 
he came back, I gave him my card with the 
addresses of several other dealers in town. 
In the -meantime, I suggested that he should 
help one of my men to take over two bundles 
of books to a customer of mine on 135th Street, 
near 8th Ave. 

That is the last I have heard from him. 
My man, on the way up town called me up 
to tell me that the young man had disap- 
peared together with the bundle of books.

THE exhibition of the graphic arts at the 
American Academy of Arts and Sciences 
at 15 West Eighty-first Street is attract- 
iag a great deal of attention. Experienced ob- 
servers remark upon the growing interest in 
this country in the art of engraving. 

The library of Lady Burdett-Coutts will be 
sold at Sotheby's in London May 15, 16 and 
17. Two very important sales are now planned 
for the middle of May in this city. Taking 
New York and London together, May bids 
" fair to be the most important month of the 
season. 

An interesting and varied collection of books 
including works on Chinese, Japanese and In- 
dian art, Japanese prints, colored plate books, 
standard sets and fine bindings will be sold at 
the Anderson Galleries April 10 and 11. There 
are a number of first editions of George Cruik- 
shank, among them the first issue of the first 
edition of the "Omnibus" and the "Table 
Book" in the original parts. 

• In order to keep the Leipziger Museum from 
financial collapse the Saxon Government has 
consented to the sale of the forty-two line Gu- 
tenberg Bible which has been one of its great- 
est treasures. Holland has offered 10,000,000 
marks for it. Since this is only about $29,000, 
or a little more than one-half of what the Hoe 
copy brought, some collector or library in this 
country ought to feel like raising Holland's bid. 

A generation ago the manuscript treasures 
of the Vatican Library were practically inac- 
cessible. Since then one barrier after another 
has been removed until in recent years fac- 
similes have been made of many of the oldest 
and most valuable manuscripts with all of their 
illustrations for other libraries. There has 
been such warm appreciation of this new pol- 
icy that the present director is considering still 
greater activities along the lines that have been 
so successful. 

The farm in the Catskills near Roxbury 
where John Burroughs was born, spent his 
boyhood, and where a year ago he was laid to 
rest, has been purchased by Henry Ford, long 
a vacation comrade of the naturalist. On Mon- 
day, April 3, the anniversary of the burial of 
Burroughs, the farm was dedicated to his 
memory. A bronze plaque was imbedded in 
the great rock over the grave of the author, 
and it has been planned to preserve the farm 
as nearly as possible as he knew it. 



In the recent sale of the Coates collection in 
Philadelphia, a copy of KipHng's "Stalky & 
Co." had a note from the author in which he 
writes : "Many thanks for your note. It's good 
hearing that 'Stalky & Co.' amused you, be- 
cause I had rather a good time myself writ- 
ing it. It's in the nature of a moral tract — 
only a perverse generation insists on calling it 
comic, and a boy's book, and a lot of other 
things which it isn't. It's all cribbed from 
Froebel, with a few alterations to disperse the 
plagiarisms." 

The Detroit Public Library has started a 
series of monthly publications known as the 
"Burton Historical Collection Leaflets." Each 
of these will present extracts from the writ- 
ings of some author whose work is contained 
in the Burton Historical Collection of the li- 
brary thus making known to students gener- 
ally, as well as to the people of Detroit, some- 
thing of the resources of the library. The first 
of the series deals with Henry R. Schoolcraft, 
giving a brief biographical sketch, followed 
by some sixteen pages of extracts from 
Schoolcraft's memoirs, documents and other 
papers. 

At the sale of Americana by the Heartman 
Auction Company at Perth Amboy, N. J., 
April I, a letter concerning the success of the 
Gospel among the Indians of New England 
written by Increase Mather and printed at Ut- 
recht, 1699, the third or fourth edition, and 
one of the rarest of the Mathers, brought $165 
and went to Lathrop C. Harper of this city. 
A letter written by Aaron Burr giving his 
reasons for not joining the Cincinnati Society 
sold for $43. A copy of an original printed 
form of agreement between Charles II and the 
seven proprietors of Carolina realized $56. 

Every large sale this season has been a bran^ 
new problem. Before it occurred all have won- 
dered whether it would be a success or not; 
dealers have been so conservative when buy- 
ing for stock and collectors so very quiet that 
there has been much doubt as to where buyers 
were to come from. And yet genuine rarities 
have brought good prices and freqently new 
high records were made. The value of rare 
books has shown much less contraction than 
prints and paintings. Book collectors seem to 
have learned the lesson that the time to buy 
a rare book is when it is offered for sale. It 
is not safe to delay when one has a fair oppor- 
tunity.

The Publishers' Weekly 



The keen interest in Far Western Ameri- 
cana, as shown in sales during the last two or 
three years, is resulting in many discoveries. 
The press reports and comments on these sales 
have shown many that letters, manuscripts, sur- 
veys, broadsides, pamphlets and books dealing 
with the discovery, settlement and early life in 
the Far West find a quick sale at seemingly 
high prices. Bookshops that have made a spe- 
cialty of this line have been doing a thriving 
business, and they deserve much credit for 
their initiative in stimulating the preservaton 
of much material concerning early western his- 
tory that if delayed longer would have been 
lost. 

The sale of Part III of the library of Dr. 
Frank P. O'Brien, of this city, comprising 
books, pamphlets, maps, surveys, broadsides 
and views relating to the Far West at the An- 
derson Galleries March 27 and 28 demonstrated 
anew the keen interest in historical material 
relating to this section. The 672 lots brought 
$10,290.85, the total being much larger than ex- 
pected. The rare lots brought high prices 
making many new high records. Lathrop C. 
Harper, Ernest Dressel North and G. A. Baker 
& Co. of this city, and Walter M. Hill of Chi- 
cago, were among the dealers buying some of 
the most important lots. The highest price, 
$1,200, was paid for the Saturday Star Jour- 
nal, a. complete file in 28 folio volumes, pub- 
lished by Beadle & Company in New York in 
1870 and 1897. Other important lots and the 
prices which they brought were as follows: 
AlcClashan's "History of the Donner Party. A 
Tragedy of the Sierras," 8vo., cloth, Truckee, 
Cal, 1879, $120; Canfield's "Northern Pacific

The thoroughness with which you

Why Europe Leaves Home 

By Kenneth L. Roberts 

JULIAN STREET says: 

It is of course one of the most important books ever published in 
America. 

AMERICAN CONSULAR BULLETIN says: 

It paints the perils of the melting pot in warning words of fire and 
force. 

ADMIRAL WM. S. SIMS says: 

It is really an astonishing production. I hope it will have a very 
wide circulation because the information it contains is of vital impor- 
tance to the American people. 

ADMIRAL C. F. GOODRICH says: 

I can't sufficiently express my gratitude to Kenneth L. Roberts 
for what he has written to help stem the tide of immigration. 

SENATOR W. P. DILLINGHAM, Former Chairman U. S. Immigration 
Commission, says : 

It will create a profound impression upon the reading public in the 
United States. 

LOTHROP STODDARD, author of The Rising Tide of Color says : 

Every real American ought to read WHY EUROPE LEAVES 
HOME. It describes vividly that inpouring tide of human filth, which 
unless soon barred, will turn America like old Rome, into a "sewer of 



HON. ALBERT JOHNSON, Chairman of the House Committee on 
Immigration, says: 

WHY EUROPE LEAVES HOME should be read by every one 
in this country. 

MADISON GRANT, author of The Passing of the Great Race, says: 

WHY EUROPE LEAVES HOME is an extremely valuable piece 
of work. He brings out shocking facts. 

PROFESSOR ROBERT DeC. WARD, Harvard University, says: 

Every American who has the future welfare of his country at heart 
should read WHY EUROPE LEAVES HOME. Nothing more 
startling, or more significant, has ever been written on this aspect of 
immigration.

We believe "Q" will appeal to as

the same skillful blending of romance

one of the most friendly, fascinating

May 1st to 8th 1922 

To Build a Stronger Nation 

This great national movement, sponsored and managed by the committee whose

Every bookshop in the United States can "cash-in" on this jnterest handsomely 
if they equip themselves to do so. 

Just as PHYSICAL CULTURE is the oldest and most influential periodical connected 
with the Physical Culture Movement, so is the Physical Culture Health Library the 
most complete collection of health books ever brought together by one concern. 

Effective and artistic window display material and literature advertising every 
health book on your shelves gladly supplied for use during National Physical CWture

PETER 
WHIFFLE 

by Carl 
Van Vechten 



MR. VAN VECHTEN'S first novel is a 
distinct achievement. It tells the story 
of Peter Whiffle, as strange a character 
as can be found between covers, the author 
who never wrote a book. The action passes 
in the cafes and studios and theatres and a 
certain celebrated perfumery shop, in Paris 
and New York; and actual characters, famil- 
iar to everyone, are in its pages. 

A novel for all who like Aldous Huxley's 
Croinc Yellow. The first edition is particu- 
larly handsomely bound. $2.50 net 



(( 



URPLE ROAIANCE" is the metier of this 
r^^ novel. The action is in the China Sea, on a 

mysterious island where Ainu savages are 
ruled by a white Kami, or god. The hero is Jerry 
Stewart, a likeable American; and there are many 
other interesting characters, including a happy-go- 
lucky, sea-faring opera troupe. The story combines 
adventure and humor. Th-rills and a bully love story 
with a happy and satisfying ending. $2.50 net

any previous book by this popular

since The Middle-Temple Murder. 
I am therefore undertaking a generous

where Fletcher sales can be very con-

''The COVER oft proclaims the hook" 

— apologies to Shakespeare. 

Bright, snappy covers help to sell big editions. 

Gold stamping makes bright snappy covers. 

But gold stamping has been too expensive for 
moderate-priced books. 

After four years of research we have perfected a 
patented process for using our product— 

ALCHEMIC GOLD 

in place of gold or imitation gold leaf. 



REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SPECIFY 
ALCHEMIC GOLD:— 

This process has the following advantages, in addition 
to the fact that the cost is but little more than ink on

The Best Selling 
Non-Fiction Book in America 

ON April 4 we published THE HOME RADIO: HOW TO MAKE AND USE 
IT, by A. Hyatt Verrill. This advertisement is being written on April 11th. 
To date the sales of this book are more than 22,000. The fourth large edition has 
just come from our presses — a remarkable record for a period of less than 
two weeks. 

Seldom have the booksellers had an opportunity to cash in on a sellers' 
market. The war raised most lines of business to the crest of prosperity. The 
book dealer pursued the even tenor of his ways with no appreciable increase in 
sales volume. Right now Radio is your golden opportunity. Radio is literally 
a craze that is sweeping the country. Thousands have Radio sets. Thousands 
more become interested every day. 

They want information about Radio. And they want it at a gulp. They 
want to understand Radio this morning and get their sets in working order for 
this evening's Radio Concert. 

THE HOME RADIO 

HOW TO MAKE AND USE IT 

By A. Hyatt Verrill Price 75 cents 

makes this possible and tells what to do and how to do it; what to buy and what 
to make. The price, too, is right — a good looking cloth bound book with an 
attractive jacket for 75 cents. 

One dealer reluctantly bought a dozen copies of THE HOME RADIO. Three 
days later he bought a gross. Another who bought one hundred copies, ordered 
five hundred four days later. There are many similar instances. (Names of 
dealers on application). 

Seize your opportunity today. Remember the Radio boom won't last for- 
ever. Every day you are without copies of this book you are losing sales. Sit 
right down now and send in your order. Tell us how many posters for window 
and counter display you can use and how many circulars. 

Don't just put a couple of copies in your window and forget them. Fill 
your window full to the exclusion of all other books for a few days. It will 
pay. Think in large figures while you are writing your order and send it in 
today.

SERGEANT YORK 

AND 

HIS PEOPLE 

By SAM K. COWAN 

This is not a war book, but a true, vivid, and inspiring 
record of the making of a real American. 

The story which Mr. Cowan has so graphically told is an 
enthralling one of mountain life in Tennessee from the days 
of the "Long Hunter" down to today. Here are given for the 
first time the full facts about Alvin York, his ancestry, his 
surroundings, his home life, his handicaps, and all the 
influences which so shaped his character that, when put to the 
surpreme test, he was enabled to perform what Marshal Foch 
declared to be the World War's greatest individual achieve- 
ment. 

Not only will "Sergeant York and His People" appeal 
strongly to civilians but to all ex-service men as well, for it 
provides the only permanent record of the life and war deeds 
of our greatest civilian soldier of the World War, and gives 
these facts in full for the. first time. To boys, it will prove 
a never-failing source of inspiration, though not in any sense 
a "boy's book" as that term is generally understood. 

12mo. cloth. With 17 full page illustrations.

Enthusiastically Received by Critical Reviewers 
(Already in its third printing) 




By MARY JOHNSTON 

Author of **To Have and To Hold, " ''Cease Firing, ''etc. 



Louise Maunsell Field in The New York Times says: 

"A fascinating compound of history and romance. . . . To read it is to step out 
of our modern life into a world possessed of a glamor and a magic our own can 
never have. Like a piece of old hand-wrought tapestry is this new and unusual 
novel." 

William Rose Benet in The New York Evening Post says: 

" 'Silver Cross' has odd, singing rhythms and a poetic bravado of swift characteri- 
zation and description that are genuinely refreshing. The breath of true romance 
is in this book, ... It is the work of an artist." 

Grace Isabel Colbron in The New York Herald says: , 

"Two of Mary Johnston's good qualities as a writer are present in this book in 
full measure ; her ability tb call up a past age and make the figures from that 
time, living, breathing human beings and her power to make the ibig central theme 
behind the story, real and living also. . . . There is much power and charm in 
the book." 

Cosmo Hamilton in The Philadelphia Public Ledger says: 

"The story moves with the rhythm, the beauty, and the richness of a Shakespearan 
pageant. There is music in its writing, and poetry; there is a deftness of touch, a 
shrewdness and an irony, and through it all, a kindliness that makes one thankful to 
Mary Johnston for having rounded up all the experience of her life and her art into 
this masterly effort." 

Sidney Williams in The Philadelphia North American says: 

" 'Silver Cross' is a story vigorously advanced, always richly colored, alwa(ys 
romantic in tone. It is Miss Johnston's best writing of recent years, and as such 
exceedingly pleasant to those deeply indebted for stirring romances of her early 
remarkably brilliant period."

THE REFLECTIONS OF A BOOKSELLER 

''He speaks to our capacity for delight and wonder, 

to the sense of mystery surrounding our lives: 

to our sense of pity and beauty and pain.'' 

From Conrad's preface to the "Nigger of the 'Narcissus.' " 

For four ^-ears Conrad has been haunting me. With interest I have 
watched the flood of appreciation that these last years have brought 
to this genius ; appreciation which, particularly in this last year, 
lias reached tidal proportions. Many critics, more recently William 
McFee and Henry S. Canby, have paid high tribute to this "recognized 
and indisputable master of our art." It is a question in my mind if 
we average American booksellers have even tapped the potential sales 
possibilities of the books written by Joseph Conrad. 

In liis works we find : 

1. Tales of man's struprgle with fate, often resulting; at once in a phys- 
ical defeat and a spiritual victory; tales with keen characterizations. 
Tales of nautical adventure, colored with inimitable seascapes. 

2. He writes about his characters from inside their hearts and inside 
their minds. His people become known to his readers and a reader of 
one volume of Conrad is a likely reader for all volumes, because he knows 
he will really find stories peopled with living souls. 

3» The untrammelled imagination that might be lound only in such 
genius as Conrad, who has the birthright of the Pole's fancy, and who has 
sailed the seas of the world, becoming first a master seaman and then one 
of the greatest tellers of tales in English, his adoptd language. 

4. To read all of Conrad's work is to explore one of the most wonder- 
ful and interesting minds of my own generation. 

5. His American publishers, Doubleday, Page & Company, have issued 
his books in attractive form, appropriately bound in cloth and leather 
at reasonable prices. 

I, for one, shall this year more earnestly guide my customers to the 
books of Joseph Conrad, because I know that I shall be doing a 
genuine service to each and every one of them. Besides, every time 
I persuade a new reader to discover Conrad for himself, I have made 
a potential sale of many other Conrad books. For he will talk Conrad 
to his friends, and he will buy other Conrad stories for himself. 

If I can get a good customer to read Conrad's preface to "The Nigger 
of the 'Narcissus,' " in which he explains Iiis conception of the novel- 
ist's art, I shall have added much to my client's pleasure and something 
to his education. 

Joseph Conrad's publishers in America are Doubleday, Page & 
Company, who also publish O. Henry, Booth Tarkington, and 
David Grayson.

GENTLE JULIA 

By BOOTH TARKINGTON 

"GENTLE JULIA" is the story of a beautiful girl of twenty with a 
gift for dress, and a dangerously gentle spirit mixed with native coquetry, 
which prevented her from expressing her preferences. Her numerous 
admirers dangled in consequence. She is afflicted with relatives, among 
them a little niece, the feminine counterpart of Penrod. 

The book is distinct but the reader will find to his delight that the 
author is "the same old Tarkington," merry (with Penrodian flashes of 
deviltry) like a little boy, and infinitely wise like a philosopher who has 
found the key to the book of life. "A gay and joyous book."

THE AMERICAN BOOK TRADE JOURNAL 

Founded by F. Leypoldt 



APRIL 15, 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 ame)ids, 
to he a help and ornament thereunto." — Bacon. 



The Senate Tariff Provisions 

THE tariff proposed to the Senate h^ its 
Finance Committee is by no means a cer- 
tainty but rather adds to the uncertainty. 
The two houses are at loggerheads, and Chair- 
man Fordney announces for the House that it 
will fight "until the snow flies"^which may 
mean until sbme politicians are "snowed un- 
der." The chief disagreement is on the basis 
of valuation, the Senate insisting on the more 
sensible plan of continuing foreign valuations 
as heretofore, while the House has stood by its 
pet notion of American valuations, which busi- 
ness men in general as well as treasury experts 
feel would be indefinite and troublesome be- 
yond expression. The foreign valuation would, 
of course, be the lower, and to offset this the 
Senate bill proposes somewhat higher ad 
valorem duties where these are the sole duties 
or where they are associated with specific 
duties. 

It is probable, however, that in Schedule 
13 the item which chiefly interests the trade, 
that on books in general, will remain as pro- 
posed in the Senate bill. This is the present 
15 per cent except on books of American 
authorship, which it is proposed to increase to 
25 per cent. This meets the views of pub- 
lishers and the book-trade in general, who 
have not wished to increase duties above the 
present rate, and of the printers, who have 
feared that publishers might print books of 
American origin. in England or elsewhere and 
import them to avoid the high typographical 
costs still ruling here. The basis of valuation 
of books is still left indefinite in the Senate 
i»ill, as the suggestion of publishers that the 
basis should be actual oost without royalties 
does not seem to have been accepted and the 
contradictiory rulings made in the Treasury De- 
partment from time to time will remain a 
perplexity to publishers. The book binding 
unions have reason to be satisfied, in any event 



with the 15 per cent duty on English books and 
sheets, as a higher duty would have a tend- 
ency to check the purchase of editions of 250 
to 500 copies in sheets to be bound here, as is 
the common practice of publishers to-day. A 
new distinction is proposed in placing a sepa- 
rate duty at the excessive rate of 45 per cent 
on leather hound books, the chief value of 
which is in the binding, this being an increase 
from the Fordney rate of Zd i/3 per cent. 
It would seem undesirable that any such dis- 
tinction should be made, but even if made it 
sihould not be at either of the high rates sug- 
gested. 

The bill includes on the free list books in 
foreign languages and 'books over twenty years 
old, but old books rebound within the twenty 
year period would be dutiable, the phraseology 
subjecting the bbok contents as well as the 
binding to the duty. A duty on the binding of 
such books is not unreasonable, but it should 
not e excessive and it should positively not in- 
clude the book contents. A provision so worded 
would be prohibitive of the present practice of 
importers like Henry E. Huntington in buying 
important books in their foreign binding for his 
private collections, which, in most cases, are 
destined to be ultimately public collections. Mr. 
Huntington, for instance, might pay thousands 
of dollars for a book merely unique which would 
be a precious possession for America on which 
the binding would be fi*om ten to a hundred 
dollars in value. A tax on the binding would 
not be so serious a matter, but a duty bf 15 per 
cent on a rare volume bought at a thousand 
dollars or ten thousand dbllars, or even more, 
would, of course, be an unnecessary hardship. 

The ifirst published reports also omitted from 
the free list the proviso in favor of public libra- 
ries and like institutions, which are, as a matter 
of fact, still included. The restriction to two 
copies in any one invoice is removed, so that li- 
braries may import a number of copies provided 
these are for their own use and not for sale 
or disposal otherwise. Educational books are, 
■however, omitted filom the free list and are 
dutiialble on the same basis as other books. Toy 
books with no reading matter other than letters 
have been increased from 40 per cent to 70 per 
cent; and the rate on picture books with more 
reading matter, from 20 per cent to 35 per 
cent. 

Under present circumstances, the trade must 
remain in perplexity pnobably for weeks if not 
months to come as to the actual outcome of 
the tariff situation. It is to be hoped that,

meanwhile, the conference committee may agree 
to a sensible schedule which will retain the 
prop<)sed 15 per cent and 25 per cent, 
respectively, will reduce the duty on bindings 
by making this the same as on books and will 
also confine the duty on rebinding of books 
over twenty years old to such rebinding with- 
out including the book aontents within the bind- 
ing. The Senate Committee has been most cour- 
teous and considerate in its treatment of the 
representatives of the publishing and cognate 
interests during the progress of the hearing, 
and it is to be hoped that both Senators and 
Representatives will be equally willing as the 
debate continues to give sympathetic attention 
to the sound and sensible arguments of the 
trade, particularly as represented in the ad- 
mirable brief which Mr. Macrae presented to 
the Senate Finance Committee. 

The Gift for the Graduate 

As the calendar turns toward May, we 
will soon be in the midst of the gradu- 
ation season, first of private schools and 
academies, then of the grade and high schools 
and colleges. If friends wish to mark the 
graduation day of any boy or girl, no gift 
whatsoever can compare with a book. In the 
•field of the graduation gift the book certainly 
deserves first consideration. Thru no other med" 
ium can, the dbnor so well express his good 
wishes to the boy or girl who is "on the thres- 
hold." 

•Graduation time, whether it be merely a step 
from one room to another, from grade school 
to high school, or the final step out into the 
world, is a time for high hopes and a time for 
practical advice. In books, hopes can be visu- 
alized and advice be made concrete and accept- 
able. Flowers will make the day brighter, 
but they will be forgotten, but books still 
occupy a proud place as a cornerstone of a 
growing library. 

Booksellers have a real mission in bringing 
this point home not only in this year but in 
continuing years until tihe idea of books for 
graduation is ingrained in the thoughts of 
every parent and relative. It is not an idea 
that can be put over by one display or one 
advertisement, but needs the cumulative power 
of reiterated argument borne in from all sides 
and thru succeeding years. 

Many schools have established prizes for 
good, work in various fields, and this plan 
might easily be encouraged among the alumni 
of both private and public schools. A gift of 



ten or fifteen or twenty-five dollars' worth of 
books given annually for the best work in Elng- 
lish or history, science or public speaking 
would be a provision that any alumnus might 
be happy to make and he would be only too 
glad to have received the suggestion. The 
bookseller has it in his power to make this 
suggestion tO' those most likely to carry it thru, 
and each year a most acceptable and worthy 
beginning would be made to a boy's or girl's 
library. 

Whatever headway is made this year toward 
bringing home the importance of books for 
graduation will bear continued fruit. 

Price Maintenance at the 
Convention 

IN taking up the suggestion made by Qiarles 
E. Butler to bring price maintenance strongly 
to the front at the Convention, the Program 
Committee, of which J. Joseph Estabrook is 
Chairman, has planned to give this subject 
strong emphasis and has asked Mr. Butler to 
arrange for at least throe speakers of promi- 
nence, presumably from outside of the trade, 
to give emphasis to this important point. Mr. 
Butiler, as explained in the communication 
printed in the Publishers' Weekly of March 
4th, believes that the book-trade should make 
this subject a really national issue, and should 
come to the Convention prepared to throw all 
the weight at its command to strengthening the 
hands of those who are trying to get a price 
maintenance bill thru Congress. 

The Program Committee hopes shortly to 
announce all the features of the Convention. 
For the meeting on Wednesday morning the 
topic is to be "The Wrongs and the Rights of 
It." The booksellers are asked to send to Mr. 
EstaJbrook, care of Hochschild, Kohn & Com- 
pany, Howard and Lexington Streets, Balti- 
more, Md., letters of comment or complaint 
on book-trade conditions that they would like 
to have brought up and discussed at the Con- 
vention.' This will give the opportimity for a 
general discussion of bookselling success and 
bookselling handicaps and should lead to most 
helpful and interesting debate from the floor. 

President Herr has been in special confer- 
ence with both the Committee on Program and 
the Committee on Entertainment at Washing- 
ton, and the final details have been gone over. 

Longmans Open in Canada 

LONGMANS, GREEN & COMPANY will 
open shortly after April 15th a Canadian 
branch at 210 Victoria Street, Toronto. Theo- 
dore F. Pike, who has been for some time sales 
manager in the trade department in New York, 
is to be in charge of the office.

many ideas that can be adapted and represented 
with profit upon his letterhead. The letterhead 
is an advertising medium of importance. Its

all ibooksellers give thought and care to their

There can be no figures shown here that_ will

But your printer can tell you with what little 
additional cost changes of "copy" down the

the cost as an advertising proposition is small 
when you think of what advertising people 
call the "quality" of the circulation.

How Maps and Atlases Are Made 

By Alfred Sidney Johnson, Ph.D. 

Map Department, Rand McNally & Co , Chicago, 111. 
PART II. 



A UNIQUE method of surveying, which 
dispenses entirely with the necessity for 
field notes and eliminates the great labor 
of computation, consists in the use of the 
plane-table. This method has been developed 
chiefly in America, and is used especially for 
mapping the out-lines and prominent features 
of coastal lands and other water-fronts. 
Nature herself is the model from which the 
maps are drawn directly in the field. By 
reproduction of the drawings thus obtained, 
supplemented by such hydrographic or other 
details as may be desired, the publication of 
completely finished maps and charts is greatly 
hastened and facilitated. 

The equipment of the surveying party com- 
prises: (i) A plane-table, whose top, resting 
on a "movement" on a tripod, is adjustable 
to perfect level, and ds revolvable horizontally 
so as to give any desired change of direc- 
tion of lines of drawing; (2) an alidade — a 
telescope wiith movement only in a vertical 
arc, mounted in perfect alignment with the 
long, narrow, metal straight-edge on which 
its standard rests, and having in its eye-piece 
several cross-hairs whose distance apart, as 
observed, exactly subtends a certain height at 
a certain distance; (3) stadia or telemeter 
rods, on which are painted divisions of such 
size that the number of them observed be- 
tween the cross-hairs of the telescope indi- 
cates with surprising accuracy the distance of 



the rod from the observer; (4) a drawing 
sheet called a projection, Avhich is clamped to 
the table top, and on which meridians and 
parallels have been drawn to a certain scale, 
and the triangulation stations or other s-ig- 
nals previously located have been plotted in 
their correct geographic positions; (5) a 
rule or measure marked with scale divisions, 
for taking off measured distances according 
to scale. 

The plane-table is set up over the starting- 
point, its north and south in exact accord 
with the north and south of the corrected 
compass, and is carefully adjusted, or "ori- 
ented," so that the triangulation stations on 
the sheet are in precisely the same directions 
from one another as the actual signals over 
the real stations on the ground. The draw- 
ing then begins. 

With straight-edge of the alidade in con- 
tact with point on siheet marking where the 
table is set up, a sight is taken on the stadia 
rod held upright at a point some distance 
away. If a line is then drawn along the 
straight-edge, this line will show the direc- 
tion of the rod from the observer's station,, 
and the position of the rod will be §it some 
point along that line. The distance is ascer- 
tained by counting the divisions on the stadia 
rod as observed between the cross-ihairs of 
the telescope. Let it be, say, 50 meters ; and 
the scale of the map, i to 20,000. This dis- 



April 15, 1922 



1 103 



tance of 50 meters, reduced 20,000 times, is 
taken directly off the scale with a pair of 
dividers, and is laid off by marking a point 
on the sheet along the line of directsion as 
shown by the straight-edge. In a similar 
way, other points are successively observed as 
to direction and distance, and are marked on 
the sheet, the stadia man following the shore- 
line and stopping at every important bend. 
When the rod can no longer be read, or is 
hidden by a bend of the shore or by other 
intervening obstacles, the plane-table is moved, 
^nd set up over the position of the rod last 
observed. From this new station the work 
proceeds as before. The successdve positions 
of the rod as the stadia man follows the 
winding of the shore are all carefully plotted ; 
and when the points indicating these positions 
on the siheet are connected, the resulting out- 
hne drawing gives a reduced facsimile of the 
coast-line, accurate as to distance, direction, 
and contour. This is the elementary essen- 
tial of plane-table work. 

Hydrographic Work 
Sometimes the surveys are carried inland, 
showing posiition of buildings, woods, roads, 
and other important features. Often these 
positions can be located and plotted in exactly 
the same way as along shore. Sometimes, 
however, the work is complicated by the ne- 
cessity of running traverse lines when no sig- 
nal is in sight, the orientation of the table 
beiing checked by such signal when one comes 
into view. Or it may be necessary, in difficult 
country, to erect a temporary signal in sight 
of the permanent signals and visible from 
i where the work is to be done. In this case, the 
I errors due to tentative guesswork in plotting 
the unknown istation of the observer may 
have to be eliminated by working out what 
is known as the "three-point problem." The 
closing lines of the attempted orientation, in- 
stead of meeting at the point tentatively 
marked upon the sheet, may form a triangle 
around it. Two or three trials, however, 
usually suffice to locate the observer's sta- 
tion with great accuracy; anl wnrk is then 
carried on from this temporary signal point 
ju-st as if it were a permanent triangulation 
station. 

When supplemented with the results ot 
a hydrographic survey off shore, the land 
map becomes a chart. In this work, the 
; boat or launch is moved along courses 
* systematically laid out. Many soundings 
( with the lead are taken, to determine the 
I depth of water. The position of each sound- 
ing is located by sighting with sextants upon 
■ the signals marking established triangulation 
f points on land or off shore ; and each point. 
j wflth record of the depth, as plotted in exact 
relation to the shore-line and the triangulation 



stations and other conspicuous objects. In 
some cases, a zi'ire drag, consisting of a wire 
wfhich is stretched between two launches, 
sometimes as far as 4 to 5 miles apart, and 
whrich is suspended at any desired uniform 
depth from floats on the surface, is hauled 
along on an even front, to sweep over the 
survey area and detect the presence of dan- 
gerous reefs or prominences that may have 
escaped the sounding lead. All aids to navi- 
gation (lights, buoys, etc.) as well as the 
dangers, are also accurately plotted. 

In this way the configuration of the sub- 
marine bed is faithfully depicted and the 
coast charted. The navigator, as he approaches 
shore, locates hiis position from lights, buoys, 
or other known points of observation, and 
is thus enabled to avoid the lurking dangers 
and bring his vessel safely into port. 

To enable a reader to get from a map a true 
picture of the actual surface configuration 
of a region, to tell whether it is high or low, 
rugged or gently undulating, grassy, wooded, 
or rocky, sandy or marshy, etc., a variety of 
conventional graphic symbols are employed. 
In relief or physical maps, various colors, or 
shades of the same color, or both (usually 
brown for land and blue for water), indicate 
relative elevations and depressions, the darker 
shades showing the greater heights and depths, 
and the moumtahi peaks being lef\t white 
above the snow-line. On the ordinary small- 
scale political maps most frequently seen in 
books, heights are represented by the well- 
known hachures or shade-lines indicating 
mountain systems, ranges of hills, or isolated 
peaks. 

How Surface Configuration is Shown 

On large-scale maps and charts, however, 
these hachures have largely given way to the 
I'T more useful contour lines, which not only 
picttires the surface configuration, but also in- 
dicate exact differences of elevation in terms 
of some definite linear unit, such as the foot, 
the meter, or the fathom. These contour lines, 
when plotted for areas off shore, become 
depth curves, consulted by the navigator, and, 
like the contour lines on land, of great value 
also for purposes of engineering construction. 

A contour line on a map represents an 
imagrinary, level line winding horizontally 
along the surface of sloping ground, and con- 
necting all points having the same elevation 
above a selected plane, such as sea-level. It 
represents, in fact, what the shoreline would 
be if the water rose to the level indicated. 
The ultimate datum level to which all con- 
tours are referred is the plane of mean sea- 
level ; but at convenient points thruout the 
country, permanent hcnch-marks are placed at 
oarefullv determined elevations to serve as 



1 104 



The Publishers' Weekly 



datum levels from which local surveys can be 
started. 

Contour lines are drawn at some constant 
vertical interval — 50 feet, for instance. The 
steeper the incline, therefore, the closer they 
lie together as projected on the map. The 
varied shading thus given to the uplands as 
the lines are drawn closer or farther apart, 
reveals a true picture of the actual configura- 
tion. 

The foregoing is little more than a hint of 
the complex details of work involved in gath- 
ering the fundamental "raw material" on the 
basis of which geographic maps are drawn. 
The field mai>s, with, all notes, records, 
sketches-, photograpihs and other data, are sent 
to the office or department, and pass to the 
scrutiny of the cartographer. It is upon him 
that the final drawing of the map and filling- 
in of all desired details for publication 
devolves. 

Present Status of National Topographic 
Work 

This brings us really to the door of the 
publishing house, where we may well stop 
to breathe. Further progress would involve 
discussion of a multiplicity of complicated 
problems — among them that of projection, by 
which regions on the spheroidal curved sur- 
face of the earth can be represented on a 
flat surface without any very material sacri- 
fice of accuracy as to shape or indicated area. 
It would embrace also the arts of the en- 
graver, litographer and printer, including de- 
tails of making the metal printing plates by 
photo-etchiing, wax-engravinjg, eledtrotyping, 
and other processes ; of printing by direct im- 
pressiion or by offset ; of color printing ; of 
making patches in plates where, as is often 
the case, it is necessary to eliminate, to alter, 
or to make insertions ; of compiling descrip- 
tive and statistical data; of keeping abreast 
of the political, territorial, industrial, com- 
mercial and even physical changes in a restless 
and rapidly changing world ; and of other 
phases of geographical publishing none of 
whose intricate details are revealed in the 
apparently artless and simple finished product 
as seen on the printed page. 

Almost all phases of progress in our na- 
tional development are largely dependent on the 
possession of reliable topographic maps. At 
the present time, however, only a little over 
one-third of the area of continental United 
States (exclusive of Alaska) has been ade- 
quately mapped for general utility purposes. 
At the present rate of progress, covering 
about I per cent of the total area yearly, it 
would take about 60 years to complete the 
work. When it is fimished, a 'bas"c horizontal 
and vertical control will have been established 



l>y permanently marking at least one accurately 
surveyed position and elevation at a distance 
not exceeding 50 miles from any point in the 
country. In January, 1922, a bill was intro- 
duced lin Congress, authorizing the President 
to have the work completed within 20 years. 
(To be continued April 22) 

To Know Good Books from Bad 

ASKED by a correspondent what books of 
literary criticism would help him to under- 
stand the chief mark of good literature, to 
detect what is good and what is bad and to 
cultivate himself to read with deep, critical in- 
sight. May Lamberton Becker recommended the 
following course: 

"I know of no book that does more towards 
these results than a slender one, scarce more 
than pocket size, W. C. Brownell's 'Criticism' 
Scribner. It is divided into sections on field 
and function, equipment, criterion and method, 
and holds a course between old and new. Then 
I would read with care Joel Spingarn's 'Cre- 
ative Criticism' Holt, a group of inspiring and 
provocative studies, including one on dramatic 
criticism; and the last chapter of Professor 
Gertrude Buck's 'Social Criticism of Literature' 
Yale Press on the function of the critic; all 
the book is good, but this part is especially 
pertinent. Then read Van \Vyck Brooks's 'Let- 
ters and Leadership' Hucbsch. Then get 'A 
Modern Book of Criticism,' a volume in Boni 
& Liveright's Modern Library edited by Lud- 
wig Lewisohn, and see how these well-chosen 
examples of present-day criticism approach 
their subjects and deal with them. I think you 
will be set further on j^Our way by some such 
fl)roceeding as this than by the study of a con- 
A-entional text-book. If, however, you wish to 
begin with the details of style and composition, 
and it may be well not to take too much for 
granted^ read C. S. Baldwin's 'Composition : 
Oral and Written' Longmans, which is good 
to clarify judgment as expression,''

The Spirit of Spring in Books 




VIEW OF MAIN AISLE OF MARSHALL FIELD AND COMPANY S BOOK DEPARTMENT 
DURING THE NATURE EXHIBIT 



Ai\ unusual idea in the selling of Outdoor 
books, of particular interest to the book- 
seller, was inaugurated this month at 
Marshall l^eld & Company by Mrs. Marcella 
Burns-Hahner, when the Book Section was 
converted into a garden exhibition represent- 
ing the "Spirit of Spring in Books." 

The entire department was changed into a 
very attractive and alluring garden with boxed 
flowers and hanging rose vines lining the aisles, 
while special boioths were decorated with large 
color plates of gardens and country homes. 
The exhibition, which lasted two weeks, 
brought throngs of nature lovers and added 
zest to city dwellers who were planning their 
summer activities. Lectures by recognized 
authorities on the out-doors, .supplemented the 
exhibition and proved very informing to the 
])u1)lic which gathered to hear them. 

In the garden exhibition Mrs. Hahncr has 
shown the practical results that are to be ob- 
tained by displaying out-of-door books amid 
I natural setting of flowers and birds. The 
:>uh)ic, during the entire period of the exhi- 



bition, was delighted with the atmosphere of 
the biook department, and the results from the 
point of view of sales were entirely satis- 
factory. 

In the matter of arrangement, the main aisle 
held the center of the stage. The tables along 
the aisle and adjoining it were devoted to the 
display of 'books having to do with every form 
of out-door activity imaginable, including 
birds, agriculture, vegetalble gardens, wild flow- 
ers and garden flowers, natural thistory. land- 
scape gardening and porch furnishing, fishing, 
golf and sports, home building, trees and 
shrubs and dogs. In the center of each table 
boxed plants, tulips and hydrangeas formed 
the centerpiece about which the books were 
neatly arranged. Situated in their proper 
places and adding a very interesting touch 
were mounted birds representing many species 
of the middle west. 

The posts along the aisle were surmounted 
with hanging rambler rose vines below which, 
in a convenient position, were hung glass cases 
showing bird life in the natural habitat. These 



iio6 



The Publishers' Weekly 



cases were loaned to the store by the N. W. 
Harris Public School Extension of the Field 
Museum of Chicago. The interesting phases 
of bird life shown in these cases, besides be- 
ing educational, were a continual source of de- 
light to the children. 

Located in the center aisle also were the va- 
rious ibooths rep<resenting garden and out-of- 
door magazines. The sides were hung with 
colorful paintings which were originally re- 
produced in the magazines. Subscriptions were 
taken by the young ladies in charge of the 
booths. The magazines represented were Coun- 
try Life, House Beautiful, House and Gar- 
den, Golfer, Garden Magazine, Chicago Gol- 
fer, American Golfer and Architecture. 

At the end of the aisle, in an alcove, lec- 
tures and various forms of entertainment were 
held. The first three days were devoted to 
practical talks on the arrangement of floral 
decorations about the house and lawn and were 
delivered by Le;onard Barron, editor of Gar- 
den Magazine. The talks were illustrated by 
beautiful views of the gardens and lawns at 
Garden City, N. Y. Saturday afternoon fol- 
lowing, Herbert Quick, author of "Vande- 
mark's Folly," delivered an interesting talk on 
"Where Farming is All Gardening" in which 
he told of the achievements of the Japanese 
gardeners and farmers. After the talk Mr. 
Quick autographed his book for hundreds of 
his readers. Another interesting speaker was 
Dixie Carroll, the famous authority on fish- 
ing, who chatted informally with many who 
were interested in the ancient art of Izaak Wal-

HERBERT QUICK, AUTHOR OF VANDEMARK S 

folly/' autographing Hl.S BOOKS AT THE 

MARSHALL FIELD BOOK DEPARTMENT 



The garden exihibition lasted from April 3-15, 
and has proved so successful that Airs. Hahner 
intends to repeat it on an even more elaborate 
scale next year. 



The Honorary Fellowship of Booksellers 



THE ballots are just being put in the mail 
to the members of the American Book- 
sellers' Association for the vote for five 
additional names for the Honorary Fellowship 
of American Bboksellers established last year. 
Under the conditions of the Fellowship, five 
names are to be added to the roll each year, 
unless the number be changed by vote of the 
Executive Committee, and the vote for these 
five shall -be following on nominations which 
may be sent in by any member of the book- 
trade. The request for nominations asked for 
a bnief account of the business career of the 
nominee and some comment on the outstanding 
characteristics of his or her bookselling knowl- 
edge and ability which had suggested the 
nomination. 

Sixteen names were sent in this year, and 
the data and comments have been condensed 
into brief paragraphs to be included on the 
ballot. Those elected last year were Charles 



E. Butler, George W\ Jacobs, William Harris 
Arnold, J. K. Gill and Joseph M. Jennings.- 
It is obvious that nio list of nominations which 
depends on the initiative of widely scattered 
people can fully or adequately represent all 
the names which might most appropriately be 
suggested for the, honor. Many booksellers 
fail to send in nominations, thinking that the 
name which they have in mind is obviously 
one that someone else will think of, l>ut, if 
everyone makes the same decision, that name 
is bound to be omitted. The list, however, 
of sixteen is one of undoubted distinction and 
will give the voters much pause before they 
will select those for whom they will vote. 

In limiting the additions each year to five, 
the Association had in mind that there can be 
no possible stigma in being omitted in a list 
so gradually built up, and, as years go by, the 
Association willl have the opportunity to honor 
all of those who have done credit to the pro-

) fession by their knowledge of the industry. 
The names are not restricted to members of 
the Association, nor to any one type of book- 
selling, and it will be seen that the list this 
time includes such veterans in the general book 
store field as Alexander M. Robinson, C. C. 
Parker, Charles A. Burkhardt, Walter Lewis, 
William L. Wilson and Davis L. James; lead- 
ers in department store bookselling such as 
Marcella Burns-Hahner, Leonard H. Wells, or 
Fred E. Woodward; specialists in rare books 
such as James F. Drake, Charles E. Goodspeed 
or E. Byrne Hackett ; a representative of the 
small bookshop field in George M. L. Brown ; 
and younger men in the field of general book- 
selling such as Harry V. Korner, Louis A. 
Keating and Sidney Avery. 

The ballots are to he returned to the Chair- 
man of the Fellowship Committee, care of the 
Publishers' Weekly, 62 West 45th Street, 
New York, and the results of elections 
will be announced at the annual Convention in 
Washington in May. The parchments which 
are given to everyone elected will be filled in 
and presented at that time and will form a

A New Slant to Fame's Literary Ladder 

Modern Critics Readjust It to 1922 Standards 



IN an attempt to acquaint the American read- 
ing public with the newer critical standards 

that have recenth- come into vogue. Vanity 
Fair in its April issue prints in tabular form 
the opinions of ten prominent critics regarding 
fame's position in the realm of life and let- 
ters. To obtain this (information, the maga- 
zine submitted to each of the select ten a rep- 
resentative list of names that included every 
one dn and out of the chronicles of history, 
from Aristotle to Jack Dempsey. Each critic 
was asked to grade the names according to 
his likes and dislikes, giving to each its abso- 
lute value in a scale ranging between plus 25 
and minus 25. 

While results in some linstances were start- 
ling, a glance at the list of judges makes one 
wonder why they weren't even more so. For 
the critics are modern of the modems : Hey- 
wood Broun of the World, Henry McBride, 
art critic of the Sun, the exclusive H. L. 
Mencken and George Jean Nathan of Smart 
Set, Burton Rascoe of the Tribune, Gilbert 
Seldes, editor of the Dial, Deems Taylor, 
musical cr^itic of the World, Paul Rosenfeld, 
Edmund Wilson, Jr., and Willard Huntington 
Wright ; yet thdir opinions iin mosit cases 
are quite as obvious and conventional as those 
of any 18th century critic, which only goes 
to show that fame isn't as temporary and 
ephemeral as one sometimes is led to believe. 

View, for example, the ratings of literary 



liions included on the list. Shakespeare leads 
with a count of 22.4 points and is followed 
by Gloethe, Anatole France, Nietzsche, Flaubert, 
Plato, Voltaire. Aristotle. It's only when one 
goes further m the list and sees that Ring 
Lardner is classed between John Stuart Mill 
and William James or somewhat above Victor 
Hugo, Hawthorne and Benjamin Frankldn; 
that Tennyson ranks below Loui^ Untermeyer; 
that Eugene O'Neill outranks Edmond Ros- 
tand, and F. Scott Fitzgerald surmounts 
O. Henry, that one begins to question the 
validity oi these ratings. 

We print below the list of authors with 
their respective ratings. As an additional bit. 
it is interesting to see how the various critics 
react to dlifferent names : Sara Teasdale. for 
instance, evoked a 2 from Broun, o from 
McBride. 8 from Mencken, 5 from Nathan, 
— 25 from Roscoe, — i from Rosenfeld. o from 
Seldes, 2 from Taylor, 3 from Wilson and 
o from Wright, making her average — 6. In 
contrast to her, the classic Sappho scored 25 
from Nathan, 25 from Roscoe. 6 from Rosen- 
feld, 7 from Seldes, 23 from Taylor, 25 from 
Wilson and 7 from Wright, which brought 
her average up to 11.8. Heywood Broun, 
in his rating of authorsi, gives George Ber- 
nard Shaw first place with a score of 23 
(points, and Coningsby Dawson ranks lowest 
with — 31. Broun, it seems, takes peailiar joy 
in putting zero marks after many of the

Useful Window Display 

A FINE window diisplay to help along 
bookselling has been selected for Physical 
Culture Week and made ready to send to any 
bookseller who may apply. This week, the slo- 
gan for which is "To Build A Stronger Nation," 
has been started by the Physical Culture 
Magajjinc. The publicity makes no special 
reference to the magazine nor to its own 
particular books. The material for display 
should be ordered from the National Physical 
Culture Week Committee, 119 West 40th 
Street, New York. It -consists of a broad 
streamer in three colors which reads, 

"To Build a Stronger Nation Live Wire 
Folks Read— Physical Culture Books" 

and here are two streamers to go down 
each side of the window. In New York, the 
committee has taken the big auditortum of 
the Town Hall for May ist. v/here there will 
be important addresses on the subject. 

Programs for Women's Clubs 

A SPECIAL service to literary clubs in the 
*«• development of their programs is to be a 

feature developed by the Bookman, and the 
first article on the subject is in the April num- 
ber written by May Lamberton Becker, well- 
known for her contributions to the Literary 
Revieiv. Commencing with the August number, 
the Bookman, plans to print a series of club 
programs,, these programs to be supplemented 
by essays and bibliographies on the subjects 
involved. Various other magazines are ex- 
pected to co-operate in publishing correlated 
articles. 

The selection of the topics will be made 
by a board of advice now being formed, in- 
cl,uding representatives from many literary 
groups such as Mary Austin, Hamlin Garland, 
Carl Van Doren, Kenneth McGowan, Burton 
Rascoe. William Lyon Phelps, etc. There will 
also be facilities for answering questions. This 
development will be an important one for the 
book-trade and library world to keep in touch 
with, as it wtill provide a long needed service 
and bring demands for many books. The 
adoption of such a program in any city means 
that there will he many books called for by 
the different members of the club. 



April 15, 1922 
Well Edited English Authors 

piCHARD CURLE, in an article in the 
•I \ March number of the Bookman's Journal 
lists a number of English authors who have 
been really well-edited. In the article, he 
says : "To gather together a library of the best 
editions, not necessarily the most expensive, 
but the best edited and the most complete, is 
a commendable aim and one which appeals to 
many a ibooklover. I shall keep strictly within 
the limits of my title and only mention cer- 
tain writers who have been really well-ed!ited.

Revival of Essay Reading 

u A LONDON bookseller reports that there 
-**• is a revival in essay books," says the 
Book Post. "His sales of such works have 
increased over one hundred and fifty per cent 
since 1918. He attributes the cause partly to 
the format of the essay volume. It looks ap- 
petising and is durable.' he says." 

Bon Voyage Book Boxes 

A WELL planned effort to get wider attention 
-^^to the advantage of books as gifts at the 
time of steamer sailings is shown in an attrac- 
tive circular issued by Brentano's. They are 
advertising boxes at five, ten, fifteen or twenty 
dollars to be delivered at any steamer, these 
boxes to be made up of an assortment of read- 
ing matter selected by them or by the purchaser 
and to include books or periodicals. The prices 
are based on the regular retail price of the 
books, no extra charge being made for packing 
or delivery. They are soliciting out-of-town 
orders on the same basis and include delivery 
to railroad depots and specified trains as well 
as to steamers. In connection with this cam- 
paign, they have trade-marked the phrase of 
"Bon Voyage" as applied to books and are link- 
ing up with this a paraphrase of the florists' 
slogan, "Say It With Books." 

Another Cooperative Campaign 

YJ^ HILE the book-trade has been busy, both 
^f^ in this country and in others, analyzing 
its efficiency as a distributing organization, 
other industrdes have been taking account of 
the times, and examination of the findings make 
their way into print. The piano industry has 
recently been making a cooperative study of 
conditions, and it is found that, while nearly 
300,000 were manufactured in 1913, only 135,000 
pianos and player pianos were sold in 1921. The 
manufacturers point out that this means that 
there is only i useable piano or player piano 
for every 90 of the population, while it has 
been estimated that there as an automobile for 
every 7 population. The Committee of the 
National Piano Manufacturers is working on 
a plan for advertising, and expects to use ari 
initial fund of $250,000, if all the manufac- 
turers can be (interested in the project. They 
will make their objective double the present 
piano sales, which at that would only bring 
them back to 1913 conditions.

Books in Demand at the Public 
Library 

TTHE Bookman has for a number of years 
* printed every month lists of the most 
popular books at the public library for the 
month, two months previous to the magazine's 
date. These lists, until the last issue, have been 
classified by districts of the country, western 
states, South Atlantic States, etc., and then the 
average made. In the April issue, these sec- 
tional notes have been eliminated, and only 
the favorites ifom the whole country given. 
Twelve books are now listed instead of six, 
and the list is more attractively presented. 
This list is an excellent supplement to the list 
of best sellers reprinted from Book of the 
Month which lasts the best sellers in the month 
preceding its date of issue. 

The April number of the Bookman shows 
that the following were the most popuJar books 
at the public libraries during the month of Feb- 
ruarv :

An Vncoxrected CaWeyf 

"FIND IT IN BOOKS" 
By Edward Anthony 

(Adapted from a conversation overheard in 
the subzvay.) 

"You gotta hand it to him, Phil. 
He kept on readin' books until 
He got wii'sed up on everything. 
Y'oughta hear how he can sling 
The dope-^eal dope about the war, 
An' stuff about 'the open door,' 
.An' tariff info and the like. 
He knows a lot, old burrowin' Ike." 

"You said it, Al, old Ike is there. 

Us dumbbells gotta take the air 

When Ike starts reelin' off the facts 

On history stuff like bills and acts; 

(The on'y acts I know are those 

A feller sees in vaudeville shows.) 

And when he quotes the potes of fame. 

I gotta hang my head for shame. 

Ben Jonson (not Ban Johnson, pal), 

Lord Byron (not the umpire, Al), 

And Burns and Kelley (I mean Shelley), 

He laps up like strawberry jelly. 

And novels by this Dickens scout 

He reads as fast as they come out. 

There ain't a think Ike hasn't read. 

It ain't no wonder he's ahead 

Of you an' me on information. 

IVc never had no education." 

"You gotta give him credit, Phil. 
He did it of his own free will. 
We could 'a' done the same if we 
Was willin', feller. Don't you see?" 

"Somethiio' in that. But, Pete, old kid, 
I wouldn't pay the price he did. 
Since he's been readin' he wears glasses. 
I see hiim mornings when he passes, 
And all the time they're on his face. 
Id rather not be smart in case 
I had to read and read till I 
Became an eyeglass wearin' guy. 
Specs are all right, but as for me 
I wanna keep my eyesight. See?" 

"Well, he ain't blind exactly, Phil. 

He didn't pay so big a bill 

For what he knows. And what he knows 

Is worth a lot o' jack. Suppose 

That you an' me was wise as he? — 

It wouldn't be a bad idee! 

We might be drawin' better wages. 

To-night I'll read a dozen pages." 

"Somethin' in that. That's how old Ike 
Got there, but, honest, I don't like 



No glasses ; when you start to read 
Your eyes are sure to go to seed." 

''Maybe you're right. In fact, I think 
You are. I'd rather be a gink 
Without no dope on litrachoor 
Than read until my eyesight's poor." 

"That's what I'm sayfin'. I don't care 
For books, I want the open air." 

"Me, too. When all is said and done 
Readiin' ain't such a lotta fun." 

"Yep ! — tho it makes a feller smart 
If he remembers it by heart." 

"Yeah, but let others break their necks 
For learnin.' I zvon't wear no specs." 

"That's what I say. Do you suppose 
I'd stand for glasses on my nose?" 

(For proper effect, repeat zvhole pome 
eight or ninr times." 

— Nezv York Herald. 

SPEAKING OF OPERATIONS 

It hardly means a moment's pain; 

You will be glad that you have acted ; 
You won't be sensible nor sane 

Until you have the thing extracted. 

With teeth or adenoids there's doubt ; 

One may have tonsils and be healthy ; 
But till you get your novel out 

You can't be well nor wise nor wealthy. 

It m.iy not be a novel yet. 
But publishers have information 

That there's at least a novelette 
In all the younger generation. 
— ^Keith Preston in the Chicago Daily Nezvs. 

TO A LADY BOOKSELLER 

A Lady with a soft-toned, friendly voice 
Presides with easy, admirable grace 
O'er the alluring quaintness of the place 
And placidly assists me in my choice. 
My loves are various as Nature's green 
(Among them are a grande dame, eighty-five; 
A youthful widow, very much alive; 
A fascinating flapper, seventeen.) 
To keep the love of each, I send a book. 
And my selection must be apt and true; 
So oft I ponder that the praise should go 
Where it is most — if not entirely — due: 
Due not to me, who waver as I look. 
But— I^dv at the Sunwii;se Turn— to you! 

B. Hill.

York Evening Post.

Current Clippings 



|, GusTAV Frenssen, the German novelist, is 
about to sail for New York to convey the 
thanks of Germany for American financial and 
good relief. 

''The Home Radio How to Make It and Use 
It" by A. Hyatt Verrill, the first book of its 
kind in the market, is already in its second 
large edition. Harpers announce that the first 
edition was exhausted on the publication day. 

Hamilton Fyfe, author of "The Widow's 
Cruse," published by Thomes Seltzer, has been 
until recently one of the leading lights of the 
Northcliffe press. Mr. Fyfe has an estab- 
lished literary reputation in England and is the 
author of an excellent book on Mexico. 

Sir GERALD Du MAURiER has left the cast of 
"Bull Dog Drummond" and has returned to 
England to take part in the production of Mac- 
donald Hastings' dramatic version of ''If Win- 
ter Comes." Cyril Maude has obtained the 
American rights of the play. 

"Yellow Clover/' a volume of poems by 
Katharine Lee Bates, which Button will pub- 
lish the first of Aipril, is addressed to Katha- 
rine Coman. Miss Coman was for many years 
a professor in Wellesley College and author 
of such well-known biooks. as "Industrial His- 
tory of the United States," and "Economic Be- 
ginnings of the Far West." 

For the first time in its history of nearly 
forty years, the Authors' Club gave a dinner 
recently in honor of a woman — Mrs. Dorothy 
Canfield Fisher, author of "The Squirrel Cage," 
"The B'ent Twig," "The Brimming Cup" and 
other novels. Mrs. Fisher is the daughter of 
the late Dr. James Hulme Canfield, who was 
a member of the Authors' Club, and for years 
librarian of Columbia University. 

Hendrik Van Lx)0N, author of "The Story 
of Mankind." has not only completed a story of 
United States History, which is now run- 
ning serially in many newspapers, but, accord- 
ing to an interview granted to the New York 
World, intends to write a story of the Bible for 
young people. Dr. Van Loon believes that 
seventy-five per-cent of our children do not 
attend any Sunday School and that at least 
eighty per cent of them never read the Bible 
and know little al)out it except the occasional 
bints thev receive in the movies. 



A BOX containing ten manuscripts of Dos- 
toievsky has been discovered. The documents 
are tb be published as soon as possible. 

Joseph Pennell in a lecture for the Au- 
thors' League Fund recently said : 

"American magazines are the worst thing 
printed on the face of God's earth. They're 
a disgrace to civilization. A man from India 
told me that if they had such magazines there 
America would send missionaries to convert 
the heathen." 

It has been decided that all seniors at Har- 
vard except those concentrating in mathematics 
and the natural sciences will be required to 
take general examinations in May. The man 
whose major work is in English literature 
must pass two three-hour written tests, one on 
English literature and the other on the Bible, 
the works of Shakespeare, and those of two 
selected classical authors. 

The Canadian market has two translations 
of "Maria Chapdelaine," the French story of 
Quebec woods that has attracted such wide at- 
tention. The Macmillan translation is by W. 
H. Blake and issued by the Macmillan Com- 
pany in London, Toronto and New York. The 
translation by Sir Andrew McPhail is pub- 
lished by A. T. Chapman, the well known book- 
seller of Montreal and also has the imprint ol 
the Oxford University Press, Toronto and of 
John Lane, London. Thiis volume is in paper 
covers and has besides the imprint of John 
Lane Company, New York, but Dodd, Mead 
& Company report that no arrangement for it 
was made. It is illustrated by M. A. Suzor- 
Cote. 

Jean Catel, the French poet, who has done 
a great deal for American poetry in France, 
recently wrote concerning Robert Frost : 

"Here at the University of Montpellier we 
are going to study Frost as a poet together 
with recognized writers such as Shakespeare, 
Milton, Thackeray, etc. ... I hope Frost may 
know that we are a certain number of people 
here greatly interested in American poetry. 
You may have seen my personal appreciation 
of your contemporary literature in the Mcr- 
cure de France, where I introduced Frost to 
the French public in the number of March 15th, 
1920. . . ." 

And the Sorbonne has announced that Rob- 
ert Frost's works are now a requirement in 
the English Teachers' Course at the institu- 
tion.

America and Britain as Book 
Markets 

A LONDON correspondent of the Scots- 
^^^ man writes as follows of "America as a 
Market" : 

An American publisher now in London tells 
me that altho the number of native authors 
in the States with big reputations has in- 
creased enormously within the last ten years, 
it is still possible ior British authors to create 
records. He named half-a-dozen authors 
whose sales in America exceed a hundred 
thousand copies a novel. Ethel M. Dell, he 
estimated, more than surpassed that number, 
E. M. Hull's "The Sheik," has gone into sev- 
enty reprints in twelve months, and Mr. 
Hutchinson's "H Winter Comes." has already 
sold 300,000 copies, and has probably exceeded 
the record of "Main Street," the book by 
the Americain ai^l^iar, S'inclair Lewis, that 
was claimed as last year's "best seller" in the 
States. In comparison the sales of American 
authors in Great Britain, tho considerable, are 
often insignificant, even in the case of such 
authors as Gene Stratton-Porter, Zane Grey, 
and Booth Tarkington, all of whom have 
large followings over here. America is be- 
coming more and more the great book market 
of the Engliish-speaking world, and of the 
nineteen "best sellers" in the States last year, 
seven were books of English authors. "Mir- 
rors of Washington" and H. G. Wells's '^Out- 
line of History" were two of the most promi- 
nent in the field of general literature. 

The sales of American authors in Great 
Britain, says the editor of Publishers Circu- 
lar, are not so insignificant as the writer 
seems to indicate. There are two factors to 
consider: The immensely greater population 
of the United States and their good habit 
of ibuyting books and leaning less on the cir- 
culating library. This explains the best seller ! 
American ibooks here are often lost in a 
series, and sometimes fail to be discovered. 
In the case of Gene Stratton-Porter the sale 
of something like ten millions of her books 
in the United Kingdom and United States is 
a triumph of personality, and not of adver- 
tising, as her books have made their own way, 
because they have what many United States 
writers possess — rfreshness and charm, and are 
clean and wholesome — what every best seller 
is far from being. There are three quite re- 
markable American books in that section of 
Dent's Wayfarers' Library which have not 
been discovered as yet by the British reader. 
These are "The Root of Evil," by Thomas

Dixon; '"Martha of the Mennonite Country," 
and "Those Fitzenbergera," both by Helen 
R. Martin. In Heinemann's list all the books 
of E. . H. Abbott, such as "Molly Make-Be- 
lieve," and "Love and Mrs. Kendrue," are 
charming, whimsical and humorous. There 
is an inherent force and freshness about much 
that we have had -from the States which 
makes a very universal appeal. 

About 50 years ago. Low's copyright series 
of American authors comprised titles by Bay- 
ard Taylor, Louisa Alcott, J. G. Holland, 
Oliver Wendell Holmes, and many others, and 
did a great and good work in introducing 
readers to these authors. Ward & Lock made 
a feature of American authors in their Lily 
series; so did David Douglas in his admir- 
able little volumes, and Nelson, Hodder & 
Stoughton, and others add volume after vol- 
ume to their various series. Mark Twain, 
Bret Harte and Artemus Ward found their 
own public, as writers of outstanding talent 
and individuality generally do. 

The Bible and the Newspaper 
Man 

OLIN W. KENNEDY, managing editor of 
the Miami (Fla.) Herald, addressing a 
Men's Bible Class stated that contrary to gen- 
eral opinion the Bible was the most thumbed 
hook in a newspaper office. Rarely a day 
passes without reference being made to the 
Bible by men in every department of a news- 
paper, he said. 

A Program for ReUgious Reading 

AMONG the many special pamphlets that 
were planned in connection with Re- 
ligious Book Week was a list published by the 
Judson Press and sent broadcast to churches 
and Sunday School workers. In connection 
with this list of books, the Judson Press 
emphasized the following program which it 
recommended the church to adopt in connection 
with reading: 

1. Seek to create a reading conscience 
among church workers. 

2. Let the leaders set a good example in 
this. 

3. Have at least one sermon on reading 
in the church every year. 

4. Observe a book day each year in the Sun- 
day School. 

5. Use books in connection with all teach- 
ing in the church school. 

6. Provide a graded library for pupils and 
teachers and superintendents. 

7. Advertise these books. 



Books on Housekeeping 

WHILE the book-trade has already given a 
great deal of special emphasis to books for 
the home during March, there has developed 
a second emphasis on this subject due to a cam- 
paign being conducted by Good Housekeeping 
magazine. From April 20th to 27th it is to 
carry large display advertisements in a hun- 
dred newspapers, emphasizing the general sub- 
ject of good, housekeeping. This is a plan that 
was first developed last year. 

The advertisements will include educational 
copy on the general subjects of cooking, inter- 
ior decorating, etc. Booksellers who carry maga- 
zines and others will find this an opportunity 
to display books in this field, as the large dis- 
play advertising is likely to attract consider- 
able attention. 



When Authorities Disagree 

AS the subject of book censorship is coming 
more prominently to the front, the fact 
that there is bound tO' ibe very radical disagree- 
ment among those who might be considered 
to have very common interest is bound to be 
emphasized. One of the travelers for Bobbs- 
Merrill Company was surprised to find that 
"Vandemank's Folly" had been taken off the 
open shelves of the Youngstown, Ohio, Public 
Library as not baing regarded as a proper 
book for young people. As a contrast to this, 
among the comments quoted in the publisher's 
promotion of the book is one from Professor 
Raymond M. Alden, of Leland Stanford Uni- 
versity, which says : "I have found 'Vande- 
mark's Folly' captivating. The history ot the 
prairie settlement is made more human than in 
anything I remember to have read ; on this 
account I am calling the ibook to the attention 
of my colleagues in history, thinking they will 
wish to recommend it to their students. But 
I. of course, am more linterested in the really 
fine interpretation of the 'boy hero. It is the 
only recent story on sex problems which I 
have wanted my own boy to read." 



What Is Literature? 

A T the final meeting of the Round Table 
^^ Shop Talk in the galleries of the National 
Arts Club on Sunday, March 26, Alexander 
Black presided and suggested as the topic of 
the evening "What is Literature?" Among 
those present were : Gertrude Atherton, Ed- 
wina Stanton Babcock, Mary Austio, Mary 
l-featon Vorse, Dr. Richard Burton, Carl Van 
Doren, Gilbert Seldes and Charles Hanson

lie New York Public Library has been ex- 
eiuled to the end of the month. In the 
5tuart (Gallery the group of "Old City Views"

A collection of books including standard

ion copies of the writings of Bayard Taylor,

ory of California tfogether with desira'ble mis-

tn T918. have been reproduced by collotype 
and published in London. As an example of 
Blake's color schemes one plate in color has 
peen included. 

I The official announcement has been made 
jthat Henry E. Huntington will give his fa- 



mous library and art collection to the public, 
together with a building especially designed 
to contain them and funds sufficient to 
support and keep them intact for all time. 
Altho the library will ibe thrown open to the 
pu'blic within a few months, the art treasures 
will not be turned over until after the death 
of Mr. and Mrs. Huntington. The library 
has been estimated to have cost $10,000,000. 

A very novel exhibition was recently held 
at the Weyhe Galleries. It consisted of orig- 
inal drawings and repi'oductions of old and 
modern masters, and visitors were invited to 
pick out which were originals and which re- 
productions. A prize for every one, even 
experts, was ofi:ered to those who guessed by 
whora the drawings were made. The object 
of the exhibition was to emphasize the excel- 
lence of modern reproductions of drawings, 
especially those of the Marees Society. The 
exhibition surprised many old artists who were 
apparently not aware of the perfection oi 
modern reproductions. 

A two session sale of first editions of mod- 
ern authors collected by William Macpherson 
of Vancouver, B. C, with additions, will be 
sold by the Anderson Galleries April 17 and

i8. Tihere are important collections of the 
first editions of Conrad, Hewlett, Masefield, 
Kipling, Meredith, George Moore, Stevenson 
and others. There is also a series oi letters 
written by Kipling and the original manu- 
script of the last story of O. Henry, left un- 
finished and the last sentence half completed. 
Accompanying the manuscript is the remainder 
of the half-used pad of the author's favorite 
manila paper. Another interesting association 
item is Whistler's "Algebra" which he used 
when a student at the West Point Military 
Academy. Laid in are several sheets of exam- 
ples on blue and white paper as they were 
worked out in class, or in his rooms. 

Thoms & Eron, booksellers, have always 
anade a specialty of fine standard sets of mod- 
em authors and many important libraries have 
passed thru their hands since they have been 
in business. The largest and most valuable 
which they have ever bought, and one of the 
most important that has come into the book 
market this season, will be on view next week 
at their book rooms at 34 Barclay Street. This 
library was the property oi Arnold Thayer* of 
this city and includes upwards of 200 sets in 
the finest editions printed in this country and 
England during the last thirty years. Here 
are nearly all of the large paper editions of 
the American authors published by the River- 
side Press; the limited, large paper and Japan 
paper editions of Scribners ; the whole series 
of limited editions published by the Macmil- 
lans; the finest limited editions of G. P. Put- 
nam's Sons, including selections from the 
Founders of the Republic Series; the large 
paper and special limited editions of Little, 
Brown & Co., and others. There are many 
editions of English authors published in Eng- 
land and always in the 'best editions. Nearly 
all of the more important modern French 
authors are represented by the best editions in 
English translation. The library is nearly all 
bound in calf or levant morocco, the American 
editions bound by Stikeman, Macdonald, the 
Knickerbocker and the Riverside Press Bind- 
eries; the English, by Reviere, Birdsall, Bavn- 
tun and Zaehnsdorf. The selections evidently 
were made with the greatest care for they 
include only the best with scarcely a trace 
of the gaudy and superficial that so disfigured 
the period. It will be a long time before manu- 
facturing conditions will admit of the publica- 
tion of such books again.

Price Standardization 

THE SLOGAN OF THE WASHINGTON CONVENTION 
What Every Merchant Needs 

From Unanimoua Report to Congr€»8 by Federal Trade Commiasion, December 2nd, 1918 

"The consuming public does not enjoy benelits by unfair price cutting to compensate it 

for the injuries following demoralization caused by price cutting. This for the reason 

that, in the long run, unrestrained price cutting tends to impair, if not to destroy, the 

production and distribution of articles desirable to the public. 

That unrestrained price cutting is not in the public interest. 

Therefore, it is recommended that it ibe (provided by law that if the manufacturer of an 

article produced and sold under competitive conditions, desiires to fix and maintain resale 

prices, he shall file iwith an agency designated by the Congress, a description of such article, 

the contract of sale and the price schedule which he proposes to maintain, etc., etc. 

Such legislation would seem to be in accord with the sipirit of the times in that it is 

designed, by removing this periplexity, to promote the efficiency of manufacturing and 

commercial institutions and so to serve the interest of the consuming public." 

The above recommendation is embodied in the Kelly Bill H R II, the passing of which 

by Congress, would give us "Price Standardization." 

TO ALL WHO SELL BOOKS 
Let EVERYONE be an active unit for the Kelly Bill. Reprint the above and distribute

Making The House A Home 

A Masterpiece in Prose 
By EDGAR A. GUEST 

The Poet that All America reads and Loves 

^A wonderful story — one of the best things Edgar Guest ever wrote. 
It shows that "the poet of the plain people" is just as much at home 
writing prose as he is writing verse. 

tjlt brings, to every father and mother the understanding that all the 
joys, all the sorrows and all the struggles in life are but character 
builders leading towards the goal we are all striving to reach, and 
that it is only "A Heap o' Livin' in a House that makes it Home." 
t[We believe MAKING THE HOUSE A HOME will l)c the biggest 
published in many years.

and enthralling interest 

WATCHERS OF 
THE SKY 

Here*s an entirely new idea in poetry — and by 
a poet who really sells! Mr. Noyes takes the idea 
that the great scientists, discoverers and inventors 
are the torch bearers of the world, each receiving 
the torch of learning and carrying it forward until 
it must be passed to their successors. The work 
is a trilogy under, the general title of THE 
TORCH BEARERS and the volume now pub- 
lished takes up the astronomers. In spirited nar- 
rative verse, as beautiful and memorable as that of 
**Tales of the Mermaid Tavern,'' the famous poet 
tells of Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, Newton — right 
down to the moderns in the Lick Observatory. It 
will delight and completely satisfy the regular 
Noyes public and add a great number of en- 
thusiasts to that already large group.

What a Few Others Say About Our 
V New Historical Romance 

THE DOOM TRAIL 

By Arthur D. Howden Smith 

A story of adventure which appeals to the boy 
in every man and the man in every boy 

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. $1.90 

Colonel House says: "Reminds me of 'The Master of Ballantrae,' I predict 
for it a wide circle of readers, for it appeals to youth as much as to 
grown-ups." 

Stewart Edward White says: "A rattling good story of adventure. I am 
strong for the yarn." 

Edith Barnard Del ano says: "A most absorbingly interesting book; I had 
to read it through at a sitting." 

R. G. Kirk says: "One humdinger of a good book. I cannot go on record too 
strongly in favor of Mr. Smith and his newest book." 

Arthur Crabh says: "My 10 year old son spied the cover and I have not been 
able to get within a mile of the book since. It is now promised to so many 
bovs that I have grave doubts whether it will ever get back to the old 
man." 

Laur iat. Jr., of Charles E. Lauriat Company says: "Surely you have made a 
good strike on this book and I congratulate you." $1.90

A NOVEL BY 

ARTHUR 
STRINGER 



The 

PRAIRIE 
CHILD 

BY THE AUTHOR OF 

The Prairie Wife and The Prairie Mother 



A woman's own story of her struggle for happi- 
ness. Not an isolated type, just a woman. A woman 
of brains and cleverness, culture and refinement, 
fenced about with her problem on the wide Canadian 
prairie. A woman with enough of the primitive to 
make her universal, always human, sympathetic, ap- 
pealing. 

The author approaches the delicate problems of 
married life with shrewdness and vision. He has a 
keen insight into the heart of humanity, and a compe- 
tent grasp on this thing called Life.

THE AMERICAN BOOK TRADE JOURNAL 
Founded by F. Leypoldt 

April 22, 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. 

The Convention 

THERE are many features about the Con- 
vention of the Booksellers next month 
that will make it one of the marked 
gatherings in the history of the Association. 
It was a happy choice, selecting Washington 
for the gathering; it is the first time in its 
twenty-two years of history that the meeting 
has been at the national capitol. This will 
give opportunity to emphasize the national char- 
acter of the Association's work and will also 
bring recognition from many of the prominent 
figures of our government. The President has 
promised to receive the delegates at the White 
House, and Secretary Hoover will be one of 
the speakers on "Price Standardization." The 
national character of the gathering will aldo be 
emphasized by the fact that the trade speakers 
will be from all parts of the country, including 
John T. Hotchkiss of J. K. Gill Company, Port- 
land, Ore,; Gertrude Andrus of Frederick & 
Nelson, Seattle, Wash.; Ward Macauley of 
Detroit; William M. Norman of Baltimore; 
and others not yet announced. 

Owing to the fact that many trains into 
Washington do not arrive until about noon, 
Monday morning, May 8th, will be largely 
given to registration and welcome, and the ad- 
dress of the President is not scheduled until 
two o'clock. To this will be added papers and 
discussion on Tuesday morning, Tuesday after- 
noon and Wednesday morning with an execu- 
tive session on Wednesday afternoon followed 
by a visit to the White House. 

The Washington Committee, with Simon L. 
' Nye as chairman, has indications that the at- 
tendance is to be beyond all previous records, as 
many are taking advantage of the special rates 
to get to the national capitol. 

This large attendance will give increased 
weight to the discussions and should make all 
the meetings and all the actions taken of great 
weight in the future direction of book-trade 
history. The last four years have seen a rapid 



crescendo in interest in Association affairs, and 
the Washington gathering bids fair to be the 
right type of successor to the great conven- 
tions of Boston, Philadelphia and Atlantic City. 
Everyone owes it to the committee to make its 
task as easy as possible by registering for rooms 
early, by giving prompt attention to the program 
and by bringing a new member. 



Price Standardization 
What Are You Doing For It? 

'X'HERE are forty-five booksellers of 
* the United States in as many states 
singled out to do a great zvork. They 
have been supplied with samples of 
printed propaganda, with the request that 
they duplicate some and distribute it to 
all who sell books thruout their states, 
that they also urge every merchant and 
producer therein to write to the members 
of Congress to work for and vote for 
the Kelly Bill H. R. II. 

One hundred booksellers of the State 
of New Yorik in as many towns and 
cities have been singled out to do a great 
work along the same lines and for the 
same purpose. 

Every individual bookseller can do great 
work and wait for no one's lead. 

All get to work at once and report 
results. The Washington Convention de- 
mands your presence. Be sure to be 
there.

Chairman of the Board of Trade of the 
American Booksellers' Assbciation,

Last Call for Members 

THE Washington Booksellers' Convention 
will make its greatest forward step if it 
can sihow a good increase in the member- 
ship of the Association. The Committee has 
emphasized the need of members steadily during 
the past year, and it now asks that each member 
add a member during these three weeks. This 
is little to ask considering the benefits that book- 
sellers gain from having a united front to trade 
problems. A bookseller does not need to be an 
attendant at every convention to get value from 
membership, but the coming of Convention time 
will naturally increase the interest in organiza- 
tion work, and the chance of having special rates 
to the national capitol should bring many new

faces to the conference halls. These new 
attendants should become new members, and 
the new year should be faced with a very de- 
cided increase in the roll call. 

The Reviewing of Books 

NOT since we remember has there l)een 
so much discussion of literary criticism, 
hook reviewing and general publicity. 
There have been symposiums and essays on 
the function of criticism, articles for and 
against present book reviewing methods and 
book reviewers, and more or less discussion on 
publicity, its faults and foibles. Beyond doubt 
this discussion comes from a consciousness of 
the importance of book discussion, the impor- 
tance to the auth.or and the importance to the 
public. It goes hand in hand with a steady 
effort to improve the book pages of newspapers 
and periodicals. Some writers look at literary 
criticism as iL" its chief function were that of 
giving an opportunity to the critic for his 
self-expression, as if lx)oks were written and 
published as trees are planted and grown in 
order that someone deft with a knife might 
do a delicate carving on a cross section. No 
doubt this use of the wood is justilied and 
produces a work of art, but, after all, there 
should be some praise of the tree. Some writ- 
ers emphasized the importance of a review to 
the author, pointing out that literature will 
never thrive in days when criticism lacks 
strength and virility. This point is undoubt- 
edly well taken, tho the creative artist would 
perhaps not be as willing to credit his growth 
and development to the critic as the critic 
might thmk he should be. 

It may be a distinction without a difference, 
but it seems as if the review in the general 
magazine or reviewing medium ought to be 
headed toward the audience and not toward 
the author. The author may need help toward 
planning his next book, but the audience which 
is buying the review wants to have the present 
book illuminated. He realizes that it can only 
be shown thru the reflected light of the per- 
sonality of the reviewer and accepts the re- 
view in that way. Those critics and com- 
mentors who have approached books with a 
fres'hcr personal point of view have seemed 
to give the readers the most helpful impres- 
sion of the books being examined. As an 
historian of the Middle West once said after 
examining hundreds of files< of old nineteenth 
century newspapers. "Historical events as re- 



flected in out-.and-out Republican newspapers 
or Democrat newspapers could be interpreted 
with reasonable accuracy because of the ease of 
making a natural allowance for the partisan 
potint of view, but with news as written i;i 
the paper which proclaims itself non-ipartisan 
it is impossible to tell just what the bias was 
at the time of writing." In some such way the 
too reserved critic fails by his very neutrality 
to give an accurate picture. Mr. John Cotton 
Dana of the Newark Library has recently 
sent to the Literary Reviciv of the New York 
Evening Post a carefully analyzed comparison 
between the Literary Reviciv and the London 
limes Literary Supplement. He believes that 
our American reviews lack a certiuin breadth 
of approach to the printed output. The prin- 
cipal point made should be carefully con- 
.sidered by all our reviewers, as. we are prOb- 
al)ly prone to lay too much emphasis on cer- 
tain types of creative literature rather than 
to view the whole output of print in all fields 
of activity. At the same time, it may be that 
the London Times is not the best model to 
suit our public and that our own standards 
must be worked out, governed by the new 
interest in this subject. The American reader 
would miss in his literary paper all editorial 
approach to books. He likes the light touch 
of the columniist such as Christopher Morley, 
Keith Preston, etc. Our interest in European 
literature is probably better answered by sum- 
mary and comment than detailed reviews of 
numerous books as is the case in the London 
Times. We are always glad to have our 
columns of rev'iews broken up by literary 
articles of different types. A recent num- 
ber of the London Times prints over forty 
columns of consecutive reviews with scarcely 
a break in the form of approach, column after 
column of sober and excellent analyses cover- 
ing such subjects as "The Evolution of Modern 
Medicine." "The History of the Fortnightly 
Club." "Unnoticed London." "Lord Hood and 
the Defense in Tulon," "The Theory of Mind 
As Pure Act," John Dowland's "Second Book 
of Airs " Most of these are a column or two 
columns in length. There can be laid down 
no general rule for book pages any more than 
for other creative work, but the general atten- 
tion being given to the subject and the general 
competence of those entering into the field 
make it seem likely that the reviewing and 
discussion of books is entering a healthy 
and better conducted iplane than we have ever 
had before in this country.

The Story of W. H. Smith & Son 



TilE great English bookselHng firm of W. 
H. Smith & Son, which celebrated the cen- 
tenary of its founding in 1920, was des- 
cribed by Lord Biirnham on that occasion as 
a national asset and a national strength. The 
history of the firm is almost romantic, since its 
origins were in England's picturesque stage 
coach days; but the story also reads like a 
modem success story 
since the fortunes of r 
the great business 
were buiilt upon what 
is often called a mod- 
em business commod- 
ity. Service. 

The firm which was 
started in 1820 in 
Duke Street, Grosv- 
ener Square, by two 
brothers, Henry Ed- 
wards and William 
Henry, was chiefly 
active in the distribu- 
tion of newspapers, 
tho the brothers de- 
scribed themselves as 
"Newspaper Agents, 
Booksellers and Bind- 
ers." It is interesting 
to note that within 
five or six years of 
the firm's foundation 
four of its great de- 
partments were thus 
foreshadowed Per- 
haps one might say 
five depanments. for 
early in its history, a 
reading room was ac- 
quired at 192 Strand 
where, frr a guinea 
and a half yearly, 150 
newspapers could be 
read every week as 
well as magazines. 
Considering how few 

magazines there were a century ago, this was 
a remarkalde number. 

The indolent disposition of the elder brother 
always was a sore trial to his junior who was 
both imaginative and energetic, so in 1828 the 
partnership was quietly dissolved, and William 
Henry Smith was the sole proprietor from i8jo 
till 1846. 

The story of how the great newspaper dis- 
tribution husiness grew, struggling against 
enormous difficulties is the most romantic phase 
of the growing Smith business. In those days, 
newspapers had to pay a tax on the paper used. 
a tax en the advertisements, and a tax on

The fouiuler of the English firm of newsagents

also had a distineriiished oublic career. He was 

t one time the First Lord of the Admiralty and 

was the inspiration of Ciilhert and Sullivan's song 

in "Pinafore."

every copy printed. By the time the Smith 
hrm came into existence, this tax amounted to 
3^2 d. or 4 d. The tax was not abandoned until 
1855. In those days, newspapers were de- 
livered thru the post office. Country mails 
were sent out only at night so that newspapers 
were twelve hours old before they started on 
their mail coach journey. Country readers 
almost never read 
news less than forty- 
eight hours old. 
Morning coaches left 
for the provinces but 
did not carry mails. 
William Henry Smith 
conceived the idea of 
delivering his papers 
not by mail but by 
sending them on these 
morning coaches 
swifter and twelve 
hours earlier than the 
night mail. If the 
paper was late in com- 
ing from the press, 
the morning coach did 
not wait, however, so 
Smith's had . a cart 
which wiould gallop 
off after the coach and 
transfer the papers to 
it. In those days be- 
fore the automobile 
came into use. Smith's 
were very proud of 
their horses, which 
took many prizes. In 
some cases Smith's 
chartered a special 
boat and employed 
special engines to de- 
liver an especially im- 
portant p i e c (■ of 
news. 

Mr. Smith's son. 
William Henry, the 
younger, intended to become a clergyman, but 
his father persuaded him to enter his business, 
and. in 1846, when the son was twenty-one 
years old, the father took him into partner- 
ship, and the firm name became W. H. Smith 
& Son and has remained so ever since. In 
1852, the firm moved to 186 Strand, which 
remained the headquarters of the business until 
the recent removal to Strand House in 
Portugal Street on the site of King's College 
Hospital. 

The growth of the famous Smith railway 
bookstalls was due to the energy and imagina- 
tion of young Mr. Smith, the new partner.

He conceived the idea of contracting with the 
London and Northwestern Railway for the 
rights to operate bookstalls at the railroad 
stations. On November ist, 1848, the first 
Smith's bookstall came into existence. The 
Smith idea of giving good value for money 



demand. But the ever conscientious Smith's, 
who instructed their boys to call merely Lon- 
don papers, or morning papers and never 
recommend one paper more than another, were 
afraid that there would be a temptation to 
push their own publications at the bookstalls

received applied to their management of rail- 
way bookstalls, and a better grade of book was 
to be found in the railroad station than ever 
before. The next branch of the business which 
the Smiths developed was the R. A. D. — the 
Railroad Advertising Department. Thru con- 
tracts with the railroads, Smith's rented to 
manufacturers and merchants space on the 
station walls to advertise their products. 

The Smith Loan Libraries, as famous as the 
bookstalls, were not started until after the 
elder Mr. Smith retired from the business in 
1858. Young Mr. Smith and his new partner, 
William Lethbridge, undertook the new ven- 
ture rather reluctantly as they realized it meant 
a large investment with no immediate return 
on the money. An unsuccessful attempt was 
made to buy out Mudie's. When the libraries 
were established and they and the bookstalls 
had to be stocked, it was realized how meagre 
was the supply of light fiction. Smith's began 
the publication of "yellowbacks" to supply the 



and libraries, and gave up the successful pub- 
lication business, which had been conducted 
by arrangement with Chapman and Hall, as 
soon ais many publishers had taken up tl:0 idea 
and the supply of light fiction was assured. 

The printing department of Smith's was es- 
tablished to make advertising posters and 
printed address wrappers, this last an immense 
economy of time and effort. Another such 
economy was the establishment of wholesale 
houses to relieve the head office of the whole 
distribution problem. There are now thirty- 
six wholesale branches, covering practically 
every corner of England and Wales. It is in- 
teresting to note in this connection that Smith's 
does an immense wholesale business and has 
an enormous export trade. 

In 1869, the firm established its own works 
department for the designing, making, decorat- 
ing and repairing of its bookstalls. 

A dramatic and revolutionary change took 
place in the character of the Smith book busi-

ness in 1905. The firm was unable to make 
satisfactory contracts for its bookstalls with 
two of the most important railroads. One of 
these contracts had lasted 57 years. The firm 
seemed to be faced by the alternatives of losing 
its long established business, losing its old 
customers, and turning away 200 faithful em- 
ployees, or paying ruinous rents for the stalls. 
Tho there were but ten weeks in which to 
make the change the solution of establishing 
book shops to t^e the place of the stalls was 
seized upon. Shops were found and leased, 
and some businessess bought outright. By the 
time the old contracts expired, in every impor- 
tant town where there had been a Smith Book- 
stall there was a Smith Bookshop. Circulars 
were sent to old customers, explaining the 
change, and the new plans. Ninety per cent 
of these old customers expressed their inten- 
tion of keeping their names on Smith's books, 
many expressing appreciation for years of ex- 
cellent service. The new shops had the advan- 
tage of much increased space and facilities for 
the display of books and stationery. The 
change turned out to be for the greatest good 
of the business. The work of planning, alter- 
ing and fitting involved in changing the book- 
stalls to shops led to the growth of the Estate 
Department. It is the work of this depart- 
ment to carry out the Smith policy of acquir- 
ing sites and erecting buildings specifically 
suited to the Smith business. 

Conference On Postal Matters 

A RECENT letter has been sent to the pub- 
lishers of America explaining the forma- 
tion of the American Publishers' Conference 
and setting forth its first mission which is to 
affect a postage reform. The American Publish- 
ers' Conference is a new organization with head- 
quarters in Washington and it is composed of 
associations of business papers, newspapers, pe- 
riodicals. Its formatibn is significant because 
for the first time all branches of publis'hing in 
this country have been able to get together. The 
Conference is not yet committed to joint action 
on anything but second-class postage. It is 
generally recognized that there are good argu- 
ments for the zone postage system and likewise 
good arguments for the flat rates, but a com- 
promise has been worked out. which all can 
conscientiously support, and a bill will be soon 
introduced into Congress covering some essen- 
tial points. First: Continuation of the i^ee- 
in-county-privilege which is so vital to the 
smaller publication. Second: Retention of the 
zone system of charge but reducing it to the 
amount of the second advance instead of the 
present fourth advance. The revisions are con- 
sidered so moderate that success is strongly 
hoped for. 



The arguments in the brief which the Pub- 
lishers' Conference has prepared of its position 
on the postal rates hold that postal rates 
were increased to four times the pre-war rate 
during war time, so that publishers pay a spe- 
cial tax in addition to paying all other taxes 
levied upon all industries as a whole and are 
still paying increased cost for la'bor, paper and 
other essentials. It is argued, too, that this 
postal tax is a tax on a process of the pub- 
lishing industry, altho it is a recognized prin- 
ciple of taxation that taxes should be levied 
on products, not processes. Publishers, it is 
pointed out, are paying taxes of both kinds. 
It is argued that high postal rates on the text 
of newspapers and periodicals are a tax on edu- 
cation and high rates on advertising are equiva- 
lent to a tax on traveling salesmen or laibor- 
saving machinery. Finally it is pointed out 
that this will reduce the total post office re- 
ceipts of $500,000,000 by only $8,000,000.

How Maps and Atlases are Made 

By Alfred Sidney Johnson, Ph.D. 

Map Department, Rand McNally & Co., Chicago, 111. 
PART III. 



SURVEYING in the field, as previously 
noted, is the foundation work on which all 
map-making is based. Figuratively 'Speak- 
ing, the surveys furnish the "raw material ;" 
while the preparation of the final detailed 
drawing, and its reproduction in the printed 
edition, may be said to constitute the "manu- 
facturing processes." 

Maps of Various Kinds and Uses 

There are many different kinds of maps. 
They vary greatly in size, in features empha- 
sized, in amount and refinement of detail 
presented, in^ color effects, in salability and 
prescribed' limits 'of cost, iri the objective pur- 
pose intended to be served, and in many other 
respects — all of which bear more or less closely 
on the problem of determining the particular 
processes of manufacture to be employed. Thus 
we have lyhysical and political maps; nautical 
charfs ; railway and road maps ; mileage maps ; 
soil survey maps ; maps showing distribution of 
resources; crop, weather, and population maps ; 
and a host' of others. 

All kinds of maps, however, have one feature 
in common. Differ as they may in detail and 
rpurpose, the same basal framework underlies 
them all; land the foundation of control for the 
entire system consists of the "topographic" 
map, which, as we have seen, embodies a re- 
duced facsimile of the actual outline and con- 
figuration of the particular region in question. 

Topographic maps are thus the only ricncral 
utility maps. They are capable of such wide 
and varied practical application, that imagina- 
tion itself can set no limits to the range of 
their possible usefulness. The purpose to which 
they are perhaps most " frequently applied is to 
serve as base maps for the graphic representa- 
tion of all facts relating to population, industry, 
resources, products, transportation, or other in- 
formation of important bearing. It is safe to 
say that, among all the prolilems vitally affect- 
ing human activities, there is not a single one 
which does not depend upon the possession of 
topograi)hic maps for its thoro study and in- 
vestigation, and for the develoipmcnt of ade- 
quate plans for its solution. The lack of such 
maps is an unerring sign of backwardness and 
inertia. Without them, the development of any 
area is retarded, and the expense of nlanning 
public works and private enterprises is multi- 
plied. It is estimated that the actual money 
lost each year by the people of the United 
States l)ccausc of lack of adequate topographic 



maps, amounts to more than the total of what 
it would cost to carry the mapping program of 
the country to completion. The possession of 
such maps insures economical designing of im- 
provements, and reveals possibiliities for the 
development of resources that would otherwise, 
in all probability, remain unknown. They are 
an essential factor of preparedness, a stimulus 
to community life, a tonic for addled mentality, 
and a lubricant that overcomes much of the 
obstructive grit in all the machinery of progress. 

Topographic Map Drawing 

When the topographic sheets, notes, and other 
material gathered in the field reach the office, 
they are at once sorted *and indexed for ready 
reference. The new information is compared 
with what niay be already known ; and all mani- 
fest errors are eliminated. The necessary com- 
putations for determination of precise latitudes, 
longitudes, elevations, etc., of important points, 
are made. The cartographer is then confronted 
with the great task of reducing to the particular 
scale, and plotting according to the particular 
type of pr'ojection, adopted for the finished ma,p 
or chart. 

Choice of Scale 

The scale of a map simply expresses the rela- 
tion which a straight line of a certain length 
(say I inch) on the map bears to the actual 
over-the-ground distance represented by such 
line (say 30 miles). If, instead of i in.— 30 
n-files, we use i \n.r=z\ mile, the latter is said to 
be the "larger scale," because it requires a 
longer line to represent the same distance, and 
takes larger space on the sheet to show up the 
same area of actual territory. When there is 
a great amount of detail to be thrown in, or 
preat accuracy of measurements is required, the 
larger scales are necessar3% 

It is evident, therefore, that the choice of 
scajle for a map is not arbitrarily made, but 
depends upon a variety of aonsiderations. The 
chief controlling factors are the amount of 
territory to be represented in the given space, 
the relative commercial or industrial importance 
of the locality, and the specific purpose which 
the map is intended to serve 

It is only by referring to the scale, that any- 
one consulting a map can get from the map 
a correct idea of relative areas and distances. 
The scale, accordingly, should be one pf the 
first things noted b}^ any map user.

Anything that can be clearly visualized or 
represented to iimagination — ^for example, tun- 
neling the earth to the antipodes, flying to the 
moon, or coniversing with the inhabitants of 
other worlds — ^^is theoretically possible, tho, for 
the tiime being, it may be practically impossible 
because of our ipresent limitations of knowl- 
edge and physiical equipment But anything 
which is theoretically an impossibilit}^ — such as 
finding oonsistency in a contradiction, or draw- 
ing a p'lane triangle the sum of whose interior 
angles does not equal two right angles — is for- 
ever alslq practically impossible. 
Map Projection 

Now, we might as well confess at the outset, 
that no map of the earth's surface absolutely 
accurate in every detail ever was or ei^cr can 
he drazni. A map (from the Latin "mappa," 
a sheet) is flat. The surface of the earth is 
curved — and curved* not with the comparatively 
simple curves of a sphere, but with the com- 
plicated mathematical elements of a spheroid 
flattened toward the poles. No one can plot 
on one of these surfaces an absolutely accurate 
representatiion of the other. The task is a 
theoretical, and therefore also a practical, im- 
possdbility. To secure accuracy in cne respect, 
there must be at least some small sacrifice of 
it in another. If relative areas are preserved, 
shapes are more or less distorted ; if directions 
are correctly indicated, areas and distances 
are exaggerated; and so on. 

A practical solution of the problem is found 
only in a compromise, in steering a middle 
dourse, so that errors are either reduced to a 
minimum, or confined entirely to some special 
aspects that will not affect the utility of the 
map for its intended purpose. The resulting 
drawing — 'a conventional representation, on a 
flat sheet, of the curved surface of the earth — • 
lis called a projection. And the most important 
features of a projection are the lines represent- 
ing parallels of latitude and meridians of longi- 
tude. These must be laid down either as nearly 
like the lines on a globe! as is possible in trans- 
ferring lines from a curved to a flat surface, 
or else in such a way that some one property 
of the lines is retained at the expense of others 
of less significance. 

Types of Projection in Common Use 

Many difi"ercnt types of projection have bccti 
devised. There is, in fact, no limit to their 
possible number. Each has its advantage for 
some specific purpose. Stripping the subject, 
however, of the cumbrous mathematical for- 
mulae by which usually it is very effectively 
obscured for all whose mental wings are- not yel 
plumed for flight into those ethereal regions 
where the technical expert may be left to enjoy 
his customary habitat in exclusive ecstacy, we 
may be able to give the average reader a fairly 



clear tho superficial understanding of the general 
problem o-f projection, by .pointing out the 
features common to all projections, and at- 
tempting to turn a candle-beam of explanation 
(;nly on the few types lin common use. 

Let us think, then, of the projection as a 
ipicture projected, or thrown forward, onto a 
flat sheet. In all cases, the view obtained will 
depend on the position of the observer, and on 
the angle at which his line of sight strikes the. 
sheet. "Moving pictureis"- and lantern-slide 
views always appear distorted to those in front 
seats, especially if the seats are off at the side 
of the hall. Sbmething similar to this occurs 
in map projection. 

The imaginary position of the observer may 
be at the center of the earth or somewhere 
else along its axis, or at some point on tits 
surface, or even on some distant heavenly 
lx>dy ; and the sheet may be imagined to 1^3 
held in various positions — e.g., horizontally 
tbuching the earth at one of the poles, or oc- 
cupying the plane of the equator, or curved 
so as to form a cylinder or a cone touching 
the earth's surface. The lines of sight are 
directed from the observer's eye. to or thru 
various points on the earth's surface (for 
example, the points along the outine >f a -on- 
tinent). As these lines pass thru the sheet 
or are carried forward till thcv strike it. they 
locate on the sheet the corresponding points 
to be plotted as the projection. 

If, for example, an observer were on Polaris, 
and could look down" along parallel lines of 
sight passing thru paints on the upper half of 
earth's surface and striking the sheet occupy- 
ing the plane of the equator, the resulting plot 
on the sheet would be what is known as an 
orthographic projection of the Northern 
Hemisphere — practically the kind of view we 
get of the moon. Toward the outer edge of 
the projection, near the equator, the parallels 
of latitude are closely crowded together. This 
objection is partly overcome, if we stand at the 
south pole looking up thru the earth at the 
same hemisphere, the plotting being done by 
connecting the points where the lines of sight 
pass thru the plane of the equator — in which 
case we have a stereographic projection. A 
mod''fied form of this projection is sometimes 
used in atlases to show hemispheres and con- 
tinents. It is somewhat like the picture we 
.'•^', )uM get if the outlines were dr-in'n r^rrectly 
on a rubber sheet stretched over the Northern 
Hcmis- here, p-'d the sheet were then pUowed 
to shrink to the level of the equator. In this 
case the central areas are somewhat shrunk 
and the edges distorted. 

Again, let us stand at the center of the 
earth ; and suppiise the .sheet to be bent around 
in the form of a cone with its inner surface 
just touching the earth along a parallel of

latitude, and having its apex at some point 
above the north pole Our lines of sight, pass- 
ing out thru points on the earth's surface, 
enable us to plot on the inner surface, of the 
sheet what is called a simple conic projection. 
When the sheet is unrolled out flat, the mer- 
idians show up as straight lines converging 
toward the pole; and the parallels appear as 
curves of shorter and shorter radius as the 
pole is approached. This type of projection 
is very frequently used for atlas maps of 
comparatively small countries, giving an out- 
line practically free from distortion. For re- 
gions lying close to the developed circle of 
tangency, the distortion is so small as to be 
negligible. It is evident, however, that the dis- 
tortion increases for regions farther and far- 
ther away, since the distance between the lines 
of sight passing thru any two points on the 
earth's surface increases the farther those lines 
have to travel before reaching the sheet. 

This objection is largely overcome, and dis- 
tortion, even for large areas, is reduced to a 
minimum that may be ignored, by the graphic 
device known as the polyconic projection. 
Here, instead of using a single cone tangent 
at the central parallel of the one zone to be 
projected, a succession of narrow, parallel 
zones are projected upon a series of oones 
tangent along the middle circles of the respec- 
tive zones ; and these successive zones of tan- 
gency — ^lapping, as it were, over one another — 
are then developed so as to preserve the true 
scale length of the central meridian. 

The polyconic is the type of projection in 
practically universal use in all the greatest 
surveys. If not extended over too wide an 
area, it has the advantage of showing directions 
and distances of all points in their correct re- 
lations to one another. 

The four-sided figures set off on a projec- 
tion by the crloss-lines representing meridians 
and parallels, are knofwn as graticules. On all 
large-scale maps of small areas, these are 
practically rectangular in form; but on small- 
scale maps of large areas, they are bounded 
by curves. 

For maps of small areas extending not over 
ten miles in latitude or longitude, the very 
simple plane projection may be employed. Un- 
less the scale is very large, such areas may be 
regarded as plane surfaces, and so plotted 
without serious error ; the sheet being simply 
laid out in squares, and detail points located 
by rectangular co-ordinates — that is, by laying 
off to scale their perpendicular distances from 
the reference meridians and parallels. 

The well-known M creator's projection in- 
vented in the i6th century by a Flemish mer- 
chant, Gerhard Kramer, and now used for 
practically all nautical charts and for maips 
of the world as a whole, is a projection of the 



cylindrical type. The point of sight is the 
center of the earth; and the projection sheet 
is the inner surface of a cylinder tangent to 
the globe at the equator. The parallels of 
latitude, each representing thruout its length 
a uniform height above the .plane occupied by 
the observer, show up on the sheet as hori- 
zontal, parallel straight lines; but, toward the 
north 'or the south, successive lines marking 
equal intervals of latitude are located farther 
and farther apart on the projection, while the 
poles themselves, being infinitely far away, 
cannot be shown 

The meridians all appear as parallel straight 
lines perpendicular to the equator. Instead of 
drawing closer together toward the poles as 
they actually do on the earth, they show up 
on the chart, at all latitudes, the same distance 
apart as at the equator 

It is evident, therefore, that on the Mercator 
chart the scale is variable, becoming larger 
and larger and giving an increasing exaggera- 
tion the farther one goes fr'om the equator. In 
fact, a degree of latitude at 60° north or south 
measures on the chart twice the length of a 
degree at the equator; at 80°, six times the 
same length. At 80° the representation of any 
area is 36 times as large as it would be at the 
equator; and if the chart were large enough 
to show the same piece of land at 89*, the indi- 
cated area would be multiplied 3,000 times. 

This variation of scale, with, its consequent 
exaggerations, is the main objection to a map 
drawn on the Mercator projection. While 
fairly accurate wdthin the trorpics, such a map 
is misleading if used for general purposes or 
if taken as indicating either areas or distances 
outside these rather narrow limits. 

For purposes of navigation over ocean areas, 
however, the Mercator chart is superior to all 
others, because the bearings of all points on the 
chart correspond with the true compass bear- 
ings of the routes between them. From this 
chart, even the most ignorant sailor can lay 
down his course correctly without calculation. 
For him, this is more important than knowing 
exact locations or distances. These a navigator 
with a modicum of nautical knowledge can 
calculate from sextant observations or dead 
reckoning and already prepared tables ; but 
the course of his ship is something he must 
see. San Francisco, for example, is shown on 
the chart to be about 2 degrees north of east 
of Yokohama. If a steamer, leaving the 
Japanese port, keeps its bearing 2 degrees 
north of east, it will pull in at the Golden Gate. 
It will not, however, have traveled the shortest 
route, tho its course is indicated on the Mer- 
cator chart by a straight line. The shortest 
passage would have been along the arc of the 
great circle connecting the two ports, and 
sometimes indicated by a curved line.

If, once more, the observer, instead of re- 
maining at the center of the earth, were to 
move along the earth's axis, looking at all 
times horizontally out to the inner surface of 
the surrounddng cylinder,, his lines of sight 
would locate points for the plotting of a cylin- 
drical equal-area projection, in which all areas 
on the earth's surface would be represented 
with mathematical accuracy. 

While the name "projection" is properly ap- 
plied to the entire picture that dould be thrown 
upon the sheet by one or another of the various 
methods referred to, the art of projection draw- 
ing, with all its refinement of mathematical 
adjustments, is usually confined in practice 
to laying down the skeleton framework of the 
graticules or quadrilateral areas bounded by 
meridians and parallels. The principal points 
located precisely by the surveys are then plotted 
in their proper positions. Next, such features 
as the shoreline, contours, and other details 
gathered in the field surveys or from other 
sources are copied in so as to fill out the 
spaces. 

To sum up : The original units from which a 



map of large area is built up may be maps of 
areas so small as to be treated as if they were 
plane surfaces. While each unit is thus prac- 
tically free from distortion, no large number 
of them could be joined together so as to rep- 
resent a large area and be made to lie flat. 
The art of projection comes to rescue by lay- 
ing down flat frames into which the small map 
units must be fitted by being copied so as to 
fill the space prepared for them. And, depend- 
ing on the object to be served by the map, the 
lines of latitude and longitude must be so laid 
down on the flat sheet that the substantially 
correct maps of the small areas can be filled 
in with as little distortion as possible, or else 
so that some desirable characteristic may be 
retained at the expense of a sacrifice of others 
less important. 

Up to this stage, the map consists almost 
wholly of lines. The lettering, special conven- 
tional symbols, and other details may now be 
inlked in with pen; or, at a later stage, during 
the process of making the printing plates, they 
may be stamped in with metal type or dies.

Good Bookmaking 



NOT the least attractive feature of Double- 
day's beautiful reprint of "The Legend of 
Ulenspiegel" is the clean-cut presswork. 
The two volumes have been bound in green 
boards, cloth back, and the title page uses two 
colors and italics in all the lines. Such an edi- 
tion is worthy of the importance of the book 
as a piece of literature. Doubleday has also 
lavished great care on "The Letters to Lithop- 
olis" by O. Henry which has been issued in a 
limited edition. The presswork is again of the 
very best standard. 

Knopf has again done full justice to the op- 
portunity presented by a book of Oriental lit- 
terature, and has made a beautiful octaVo vol- 
ume of Arthur Waley's "The No Plays of 
Japan," bound in brilliant orange boards, with 
canvas back, and with a wellnplanned type page. 
Mr. Knopf credits the typographers, paper mak- 
ers and binders by naming them on the back 
of the title page. The type of bdok-making 
which Mr. Knopf has developed has been in- 
creasingly copied of late, and is having its 
marked effect on American book-making. An- 
other interesting binding is that on "Peter 
Whiffle" by Carl Van Vechten. A very inter- 
esting hand-made paper has been used for the 
side supplying a design in happy contrast to 
the canvas back. The type page and general 
make-up of the book is unusually pleasant. A 
third Knopf book of different format is the 
narrow i2mo. which has been planned for Ste- 
phen Hudson's "Elinor Colhouse," a short novel 



of 150 odd pages. Red buckram with green 
top and green label have been effectively used. 

A very good piece of poetry printing is shown 
in "The Book of American Negro Poetry," 
published by Harcourt, Brace & Company. The 
various types of poetry length have been well 
fitted to th page and made to have one uni- 
fied appearance. The presswork is that of 
Quinn and Boden of Rahway, bound with a dig- 
nified paper label with board side and cloth 
back. 

"Wayfarers in Arcady" by Charles Vince has 
been made into an attractive octavo by Put- 
nam's, with a fr'ontispiece in brown tint, and 
plain blue cloth with gilt lettering. 

Another delightful outdoor volume of quite 
different format is "Songs of Out-of-Doors'* 
by (Henry Van Dyke (Scribner), a volume the 
size of the Temple Shakespeare and beautifully 
planned for the pocket of the tramper. The 
publishers have planned for this a photographic 
wraipper which will add to the display possi- 
bilities of the book. 

Scribner has also made a most attractive 
volume of George E. Hale's astronomy called 
"The New Heavens," half-tones of fine quality 
being carefully fitted to the text. 

Another example of the half-tone well 
handled is shown in Sir Ross Smith's "Four- 
teen Thousand Miles Thru the Air," (Macmil- 
lan) w^hioh domes out just at the time of the 
author's tragic death. 

Harper's has turned out a dignified biog- 



1170 



The Publishers Weekly 



raphy in the Elizabeth Cady Stanton set of two 
volumes, and another attractive biography is 
"Young Boswell" by Chauncey Brewster Tinker 
(Atlantic Monthly). This volume would have 
been slightly better if the paper had been not so 
heavy. On paper just half the thickness yet 
showing excellent presswork is Coolidge'.s 
"Ulysses S. Grant," reissued in the centenary 
edition by Hbughton Mifflin Company. The 
binding in blue cloth and gilt sides and gilt top 
take one back to an earlier period of book bind- 
ing. 

The Atlantic Monthly Press have to their 
credit two other good volumes in "The Iron 
Man in Industry" by Arthur Pound, and a 
graceful little volume entitled "A Glance To- 
ward Sihakespeare" by John Jay Chapman. 

An attractive volume of poetry of the month 
is "Kinfolks" by Ann Cobb (Houghton Mifflin). 
An atmosphere suitable to poems from the old 
mountaineer country has been created bv the 



yellow boards with the effect of blue home- 
spun design. 

A well-planned children's book is Milliccnt 
Evanses "Peggy Pretend," published by Lo- 
throp, Lee & Shepard Company, with good il- 
lustrations by Edna F. Hubon. One of the at- 
tractive novels is "Q" by Katharine Newlin 
Burt of Houghton Mifflin Company. 

A new venture into the flexible leather tield 
is seen in the four- volume set planned by 
Little, Brown & Company fur the novels of 
A. S. M. Hutchinson. The books have uni- 
form hand lettered title pages, very attractive 
lining papers suggesting the English country- 
side in which the stories are laid, and the 
leather selected is maroon lambskin with the 
monogram H on the side, and gilt back. Ex- 
cellent typographical effect has been had with- 
out cramping the margins or making the paper 
too thin for comfortal)le reading even for the 
traveler. 



English News — From London Correspondent 



THE Society of Bookmen is sponsor for 
a series of educational lectures for book- 
sellers and librarians at the Essex Hall. 
The first of the lectures was given by Sidney 
Dark, associate-editor of John o'Londoii's 
Weekly, on "The New Reading Public," and 
it was an extremely interesting and helpful 
address. The second meeting will be a de- 
bate on "Book Publicity" from the point of 
view of a bobkseller, a publisher, and a book- 
buyer, in which J. G. Wilson, of J. and E. 
Bumpus. Michael Sadloir, author of "Privilege"' 
and a well-known book-buyer, will take part. 
The chair o.n this occasion will be occupied by 
Sydney Pawling, of Heinemann's. The third 
lecture will be given by G. B. Bowes of Messrs. 
Macmillan & Bowes, the famous Cambridge 
booksellers, on "The Business of Bookselling," 
and W. B. Maxwell will be in the chair. In 
May, Mr. C. S. Evans of Heinemann's will 
lecture on "Are Book Prices Too Cheap?" 
with Major Ian Hay Beith ("Ian Hay") in 
the chair. The concluding lecture of the pres- 
ent series will be entitled "The Making of a 
Book." This lecture will consist chiefly of 
moving pictures, with an explanation l)y Cecil 
Clay. Lord Burnham will take the chair. 

These lectures are open to the public gener- 
ally, and they represent the new forward move- 
ment to bring publishing, bookselling, and au- 
thorship more closely to the attention of book 
buyers. 

There is a discussion going on just at the 
moment on . lx)ok production. Publishers' 
Wkkkly readers will be interested in extracts 
from two important letters, dealing with the 



subject, recently contributed to The Times Lit- 
erary Supplement. 

"It is time to enter a protest against the 
neglect by many publishers of important de- 
tails concerning the production of books. 

1. In many cases the title of a book appears 
with dreadful monotony at the head of, each 
page. What this means in loss of time will be 
appreciated by anyone who has tried to refer 
rapidly to passages in long biographies or his- 
tories which have the title heading over each 
page. The only proper way is to print on 
each left hand page the title of the chapter, 
and on each right hand page the actual sub- 
ject dealt with on that page. 

2. The table of contents should come at the 
lieginning of the book, preceding the preface 
or introduction. The common practice of 
printing the contents after a long introduction 
is an inefficient and illogical arrangement. 

3. The date of publication should be clear- 
ly stated, on the title page and, if it is not the 
first edition, bibliographical details should be 
given overleaf. 

4. Pages should be cut. We have got be- 
yond the ridiculous affectation which regarded 
uncut pages as something distinctively lit- 
erary. 

5. There should be a stricter attention to pu- 
rity of type. It is still a rule to find on the 
same title page several different fonts of type. 
We are still a long way off a com.mon stand- 
ard O'f purity and simplicit\-. Even italics 
ought to be abolished from title pages, as well 
as from the headings of pages. 

6. The convention by which introductory

matter has Roman pagination could conve- 
niently be abolished. It greatly simf/lifies an 
index if there is a common system thruiout the 
book, beginning with the first printed page. 

Many other aesthetic questions arise in con- 
nection with the production of books; but the 
points thus briefly dealt with affect all who 
regularly read new books, particularly long 
works of biography and history." 

The writer of this letter, Mr. Howard 
W'hitehouse, is evidently very earnest about 
the matter, and holds distinct views as to what 
is, or what is not correct. He will find criti- 
cism laid at his door as to argument number 
one ; his second contention has many adher- 
ents; number three is sound; four is a matter 
of taste ; argument five goes without saying, 
while the sixth idea is a fully grown up con- 
tention. Now let us print what Mr. C. Wren 
Howard, Mr. Cape's partner, says: 

''The standard of book production to-day 
is most certainly very low, but good materials 
are again available, altho still fairly highly 
priced. A fall in the price of paper has made 
it possible to dispense with that terrible sub- 
stance known as "Bulky News." Cloth, too. 
has come down in price, and it is no longer 
necessary to employ substitutes for it. Print- 
ing, however, is still in a bad way. The rea- 
son for this would appear to be attributable 
mainly to two things. The first is a certain 
lack of liaison between printer and publisher — 
a lack of proper information and understand- 
ing. The format of a ])ook should really be 
the result of careful collaboration between the 
two parties primarily concerned. The pub- 
lisher, who knows the su'bstance of the book, 
should settle all main points — size of paper, 
size of type, imposition, margins, form of 
headline, chapter headings, make-up of pre- 
liminary matter, and so forth, leaving to the 
printer those minor but very important details 
for which his more intimate technical knowl- 
edge is essential. 

The second and by far the more potent reason 
for the decay of book production is to l)e 
found in the indifference and ignorance of 
nine-tenths of the reading public. One thing 
only seems to determine for them whether a 
1x)ok is a book beautiful, or merely a book. 
Provided that a volume, however badly printed, 
be lx>und elaborately and decorated with plenty 
of gold-leaf, it is held to be precious and 
perfect. Many people have ideas on the fram- 
ing of pictures or prints, .'but few can tell, or 
care, iw^cther la printed page f;S tx>rrec|lly 
placed on the paper. They may say that only 
the contents of a Iwok matter; but, if the con- 
tents are presented in a way that makes read- 
ing less easy, or ideas more difficult to assimi- 
late, bbviously all is not well ; a badly pro- 
duced ')>ook can cause the appetite for reading 



to flag no less surely than a dirty plate will 
cause a irevulsion from food. 

Again, how often do reviewers, on whom 
people do to some considerable extent depend, 
even say whether a book is well or ill pro- 
duced, except perhaps to add as an after^ 
thougtht that "this i|9 a handsomely produced 
■book with many beautiful plates on art 
paper" ! 

Unless, then, or until the public chooses to 
edulcate itself in the niceties of book pro- 
duction, badly produced hooks will continue 
to be published and to be Iwught by the public 
that deserves them. 

This is excellent and valuable. It comes 
from an expert who has proved his capacity 
by the specimens of his craft that have ap- 
peared with the imprint of Mr. Cape on the 
title page. To much attention cannot be 
given to Mr. Howard's communication. More- 
over, his letter gives, in brief, terse language, 
the exact manufacturing position in England, 
so far as book production is concerned, as it 
is today. 

The following books are among ihc best 
sellers. 

Fiction 
The Garden Party and Other Stories, ^v fans- 
field. 
The Jewel in the Lotus. Forbes. 
Greensea Island. Bridges. 
Search. Larminie.

And, of course. Hutchinson's "if Winter 
Comes." As in America, nothing seems to 
stop it. Everybody is reading it. It's a craze, 
and a. good one too, with the commuters !

The Book Crisis in France Again 



W^HAT ails the French book? One of the 
W French papers, L'Exportateur Frangais, 
has asked various authors, publishers and book- 
sellers for their opinions on this subject. The 
authors have answered unanimously that 
literary criticism, or the lack of lit, is to blame. 
The publisihers have given their reasons at 
greater length and with more variety, as fol- 
lows: 

M. Cres, of the finm Cres et Cie., as of the 
opinion that it might be well to adopt the 
English system of bringing out two editions 
of the same work at diifferent prices, or even 
three editions: one de luxe, another at a price 
of albout 6 fr., and a third cheaper. "We are 
now paying" said M, Cres, "the penalty of 
years of mistakes and stubbornness on the 
part of French publishers and booksellers." 

M. Emile Paul refused to make public all 
the remedies he Ihad in mind, "But let me tell 
yon'' he said, "that one of the finest and surest 
solutions consists in the setting of a high price 
upon one of the two first editions of books 
by authors whjo are already accepted or becom- 
ing well-fknown. And I must tell you that the 
efforts in favor of the book cannot be fruit- 
ful unless the publishers give up the habit 
of overstocking the booksellers by overprinting, 
and the first practise to be condemned and 
destroyed in the interests of all is the pub- 
lishing of books at the author's expense." 

"It is hard" said M. Gillou, of the Larousse 
bookstore, "and it may seem presumptuous to 
say when the book crisis will be over. Never- 
theless there are questions that can be an- 
swered definitely: will book prices increase 
further? Yes. In what proportions? To a 
great extent, undoutedly. As to the reasons 
for the increase, they are principally of two 
kinds : i. the price bf paper has not decreased 
appreciably; 2. tlie price of labor has a con- 
stant tendency to increase." 

According to M. Louis Hachette, the book 
crisis is largely due to the crisis in paper, 
which should be dealt with before all else, 
ly, retail 20. Radio Broadcast, monthly, 
have raised their prices over 500% above the 
pre-war prices, while rates of printing have 
never gone up over 150%. 

M. Mainguet, of the firm Plon-Nourrit et 
Cie., believes that the raising of the price would 
be more than justified if the public did not 
have to be considered. An edition of 3000 
(which tends to become the lowest possible 
number) actually costs 2 f r. 10, per book, 
not counting the author's royalty. Add to 
this a tax of 10%. the discounts to booksellers, 
and general expenses, and you will find that 



the volume must be sold at the minimum price 
of 6 f r. 25, always on condition that the whole 
3000 copies be sold and that no profit is ex- 
pected. 

M. Charles Malexis of the illustrated Edi- 
tion Frangaise tells us that the proposed higher 
price would not only be a disgraceful measure, 
but would amount to choking off young au- 
thors. It is helpful only to certain big houses 
which have important stock to get rid of and 
also to firms that would profit from this 
increase by being enabled thereby to sell cer- 
tain collections cheap. Will it be with these 
inferior novels of adventure that those houses 
think to uplift the masses? 

According to» M. Alfred Valette of the 
Mercure de France, the publishers will never 
be able to increase the sale prices because of 
their increased expenses present and future. 
And immediately this question presents itself: 
what as the spending capacity of the book- 
buying public? It is difficult to determine 
that precisely. It is necessary to find the 
happy medium, that is the price which will 
allow the publisher to live and will not repel 
the mass of buyers. As only the novel and 
works of literature are under consideration 
here, I think that the book which has been 
marked 3 f r. 50 could stand an increase. As to 
novelties, the publisher will fix their prices 
after considering the manufacturing cost and the 
capacity of the purchasers, as yet unknown, 
but soon to be learned by experience. There 
is no doubt that he must resign himself not to 
undertake, during the crisis, the publication 
of some very worthy works which he would 
not have hesitated formerly to publish. 



Convention Delegates Don't 
Forget Railway Certificates 

THE only way that the Convention can 
arrange for special rates is to have 
a certain minimum registration of dele- 
gates, these delegates must each bring 
railroad certificates obtained when buying 
the ticket to Washington. It is easy to 
forget to ask for the certificate, but, if 
the proper number fails to be recorded, 
there is great loss to every member of 
the Convention especially to those from 
distant points. Every bookseller should 
remember when buying a ticket to ask 
for the Convention railroad certificate 
and thus save money for all.

The Best Five American Novels 

EDWARD Anthony, in his column, The 
Book Factory, in the New York Herald 
records, **a gang of us were sitting around the 
other day lazily discussing nothing in especial. 
Inevitably the talk turned to books — the Ameri- 
can novel in particular. In the course of the 
proceedings some one gave a list of what he 
considered the best five American novels. He 
started something." A composite of the lists 
made by the group shows the following

Trains for Washington 

AS the conventioai of the American Book- 
sellers' Association opens on Monday 
there is a plan being organized for making 
up a party of two or more special coaches 
to leave the Pennsylvania Terminal, on Sun- 
day afternoon, May 7th, to arrive in Wash- 
ington between eight and nine o'clock. Dele- 
gates and guests are requested to notify Da- 
vid J. O'Connell, care of the Funk & Wagnalls 
Company, 354 Fourth Ave., New York, of their 
intention to be with this party, and he will 
send instructions as to the exact time of de- 
parture. Also on Monday morning a train 
leaves New York via Baltimore and Ohio at 
8.50 (daylight time) reaching Washington at 
I o'clock. Breakfast and luncheon on board.

Just A Few Lines Bill 

Dear Bill Bookseller: 

JUST a few lines to tell you how glad I am 
that you and your wife are coming here for 
the convention — and she won't be lonesome, 
either — ^for we are gt>ing to have more ladies 
this time than ever before. You all have 
talked and heard and read about Washington — 
all your lives — and now you have a splendid 
reason for coming. I want to make things 
easy for you so I'm going to offer a few sug- 
gestions. Be sure to ask for a certificate (not 
a receipt) when you buy your one way ticket. 
Don't wait until your train is ready to pull out 
before buying your ticket, for it takes a little 
time to obtain the certificate — get your trans- 
portation at least 24 hours before leaving — 
you can secure it as early as May 4th. Be 
sure to ask for .a certificate with each ticket 
for they all count to make up our quota and 
when you reach the convention hall, deposit 
it with our secretary. Miss Belle M. Walker. 

Now, just a line about the Cx)lonial Dance. 
We would like everyone to dress in colonial 
style— diis does not necessarily mean velvets 
and silks, etc. — but any inexpensive material 
such as chintz (someone told me to mention 
this) or any similar material. Of course, no 
one will be barred if he is not in costume. 
And the committee of the Women's Book- 
sellers' Association tells me it has a big sur- 
prise "up its sleeve" but, honest, Bill, I don't 
know a thing about it. 

I had a dandy interview with President 
Harding about ten days ago — he is very much 
interested in our work — and he graciously con- 
sented to receive us at the White House, prob- 
ably on Wednesday, May loth. 

Judging from all reports, everyone is en- 
thusiastic about the convention, and everyone 
is coming — and I am sure that no one will be 
disappointed 

Now, just one - last - zvord, old boy ! 

Write to the hotel you have selected and 
make your reservation now — don't wait — there'll 
be anbther large convention here the same week 
— so don't put it off — sit right down and write. 

I'm looking forward to seeing you, old boy, 
with genuine feelings of pleasure — for you 
know that one of the greatest benefits derived 
from our annual meeting is the hearty clasp 
of the hand of our old time friends and the 
spirit of reminiscence which always prevails. 

Kindest regards and best wishes to you and 
yours, from 

Yours cordially, 

Simon L. Nye, 

Chairman of the 
Entertainment Committee.

Merchant Marine Libraries 

P RESIDENT HARDING has just accepted 
•■• the Honorary Presidency of the American 
Alerchant Marine Library Association, of which 
Herbert Hoover is Honorary Vice-President. 
Mrs. Henry Howard, the president of the as- 
sociation, was largely instrumental in filling 
these honorary offices. In accepting the ofhcc, 
President Elarding wrote : 




''The proposal to supply libraries to Ameri- 
can merchant ships, a task which was carried 
on during the war by die American Library 
Association, is a most appealing one. The 
reahzation of our ambition to establish firmly 
a great American merchant marine will lie 
l)rought nearer, very much in the measure of 
public interest in such eflforts as this." 

The organization has placed libraries on 138 
ships, representing thirty-five steamship com- 
panies. 

The majority of the books are fiction but a 
substantial portion of books on non-technical 
subjects of sjiecial interest to seamen seeking to 
fit themselves for promotion are included. Life 
in the merchant marine is very monotonous 
and confining. Only those who have been at 
sea. earning a living tiiereby, fully realize the 
spiritual isolation, as well as the physical isola- 
tion, of the sailor. He misses acutely scores of 
things that people on shore, take for granted : 
most of all, the society in leisure moments of 
congenia'l. friends. Thus books, tat sea, be- 
come far more than so much reading matter. 
They fill the gaps in lonely lives. Experience 
has shown that American seamen avail them- 
selves eagerly of books. They are read, and re- 
read — some are literally read to pieces ! 

To meet the expense of buying the books 
and maintaining an eflficient system of delivery 
to ships in port, the association urges all who 
wis.h to further the service to enroll in the 
organization. A traveler's membership costs 
five dollars. 



Gold Star Fiction 

HTHE fifth edition of the Gold Star list of 
* American fiction has just been issued by 
the Syracuse Public Library. The plan of this 
edition is similar to that of i)revious lists. 
It aims to give a view^ of American fiction 
Irom the time of Co'oper down to the present 
month of 1922. It does not pretend to be com- 
plete or authoritative, but it does 'claim to 
present a representative lisit of books that are 
worthy cf a place in any library and worth 
taking bome to the family. The selection of 
the books has been the duty of the Syracuse 
Public Library stafT for a number of years, 
and the classing of the books by subject was 
done by Wharton Miller when he was assistant 
to the librarian. There is a list alphabetical 
l)y authors first, the boo'ks in this list having 
short descriptive notes. The classification by 
subject includes business, character develop- 
ment, college (Stories, dog stories, famous people, 
journalism, sea stories, society novels, social 
problems, stories of the woods, the world war. 
Stories of places is sub-divided into New Eng- 
land, New York City, New York State and 
Pcnnisylvania. the South, tlie Middle West, 
California, and the Coast, West and North- 
west, Alaska, Mexico and South America, 
I'nrope ancf Asia. 

Whitman Material Wanted 

EMORY HOLLOWAY is about to under- 
take a comprehensive new biography of 
Walt Whitman and plans to incorporate in it 
the very considerable amount of new material 
now available. In a recent letter in the New 
York Post he has aisiked that possessors of un- 
published Whitman manuscripts or letters lend 
them to him for the new book and he promises 
that such material will be promptly copied and 
returned. Mr. Holloway's address is Adelphi 
College, Brooklyn, N Y. 

By Our Loving Friends 

IN April issue of "The Step Ladder" the 
organ of "The Bookfellows," an editorial on 
"Our Foolish Contemporaries" begins with the 
friendly salutation "The Publishers' Weekly, 
the official organ of commercialized book pro- 
duction, whose pet phrase is 'the publishing 
game' runs an editorial entitled 'Book Suppres- 
sion.' Since the author of this squib has often 
assailed 'The Step Ladder' ... we are happy 
to find ourselves for once in tlioro accord." 

In the same issue is the word, that the club's 
pamphlet on "The Judging of Jurgen" is 
being sold by rare book dealers at $10.00 tho 
published at 40 c, and that the companion 
brochure on Hergesheimer is still 40 c.

in the seventeenth century underwent an entire re- 
volution. The ancient faith and old traditions were 
attacked with unsparing hand, and literature built 
up for itself a strong public opinion of its own among 
hitherto unimportant classes. Eighteenth century 
literature received its first impulses from England. 
Montesquieu was the advocate of political liberty; 
Voltaire encouraged toleration and freedom of con- 
science; the Encyclopedists wrote in opposition to 
all established beliefs and Rousseau, the sentimen- 
talist, appealed to those who carried out the Revo- 
lution. Among the great writers of the time was, 
also, Bufi'on, whose Natural History is the work of 
a poet rather than that of a scientific student. After 
1830 one of the greatest groups in all literature ap- 
peared, including the novelists Hugo, Gautier, 
Dumas, M6rim6e, and Balzac 

These, together with the remarkable modem genius, 
Anatole France, form a literary group, the produc- 
tions ot which are worthy of the student and book 
lover's most careful perusaL

ONE OF A 



STRIKING SERIES OF 






Institutional Advertising 

AVERY interesting experiment in emphasiz- 
ing the bookstore as an institution or es- 
pecially emphasizing it by lists of books was 
shown in a striking series of eleven advertise- 
ments which A. C. McClurg & Company ran 
in the Chicago Daily News during November 
and December. The sample of one of these 
two-column advertisements as here reproduced 
shows the eighth in the series. All carried the 
heading, "Literature— Greatest of All Arts." 
The first gave Egypt's Message followed by 
Greece, Rome, Mediaeval Times, the Moham- 
medan Era, Renaissance, Spain, France, Mod- 
ern England, early America, American Writers. 
Typographically the series is an interesting 
study of special lettering and border work, as 
in each case the decorative matter was differ- 
ent and in perfect keeping with the period 
being represented, the text type remaining the 



ELEVEN ADVERTISEMENTS. 

same. As the lettering of the headings was 
all worked out from typical alphabets of the 
time, the series made a most interesting study 
in letter design. 

Good Housekeeping Week 

GOOD Housekeeping Magazine announces 
that the week from April 20th-27th will be 
; ,1 ;od Housekeeping Week thruout the United 
Slates and that space has been contracted for 
to advertise the Week in over a hundred news- 
I>apers. The National Association of Book 
Publishers has issued a bulletin, suggesting that 
' ome tof the ideas used in the March "Useful 
Books" campaign can be repeated in this con- 
nection. Window displays of books which re- 
late to interior decorating, cooking and home 
managing can be arranged : and the Association 
suggests as an auxiliary slogan "Build Up the 
Home Librarv."

Electrotyping Wages Upheld 

'T'HE New York wages in electrotyping shops 
* have been fixed at $59 minimum for an- 
other year. This decision has been passed down 
by Laurence T. Hinch, serving as chairman of 
the hbard of arbitration between employers and 
employees in the electrotyping shops of the city. 
The employers had claimed that there should 
be in accordance with general conditions a re- 
ductions of $7 from the scale of $59, the con- 
tract for which had expired October last. The 
workers had made a counter-demand for an 
increase of $5. Both sides introduced evidence 
as to wages, cost of living and economic con- 
ditions. 



The Office of the Author's League 

THE office of the Authors' League which 
has been refurnished by some Vassar 
students is gradually taking on a definite form. 
It has an old hand press given by the Plimpton 
Press of Norwood and an old Washington 
press sent down from the Albany Argus, the 
press on which they turned out the paper an- 
nouncing Lincoln's assassination. The follow- 
ing inscription hangs at the entrance: 

"In this /room is f urnishment given by several 
young women who as students came often 
hither for counsel and discussion of matters 
pertaining to the written and the printed word. 
They have been aided in their design by a 
friend of the college. 

"In some such room as this the art of print- 
ing was nurtured in a day when the humblest 
artisan wrought patiently, with love of his 
task and pride in the perfection of it." 

Free Mail Delivery of Books? 

A MAN living in the country wants to keep 
up with new fiction. There is no book- 
store near by. His mail is delivered by rural 
carrier. Often there is a free library in the 
town from which the mailman starts. Being 
out of reading matter, he writes for a book. 
It would be mailed free under a bill Repre- 
sentative Green, Republican, Iowa, has intro- 
drced. Once read it would go back free. 

The Baby as a Customer 

THE importance of the baby as a customer 
has been pointed out by Marshall Field & 
Company in a booklet on retailing which has 
just been issued. Out of every thousand cus- 
tomers it is estimated 240 are below ten years 
of age. Those who sell children's books, there- 
fore, really may consider twenty-four per cent 
of the p<opulation as potential customers. 



The Publishers' Weekly 
Paper Strike Threatens 

"T'HE possibility of a paper strike that would 
* involve 100,000 workers is looming up for 
May 1st. The manufacturers are asking a 10% 
reduction of the wages of skilled workers, the 
elimination of a standard rate for unskilled la- 
bor, and the abolition of overtime for Sun- 
days, holidays and other time over the reg- 
ular number of hours each day. The unskilled 
workers have had two reductions during the 
past year and the skilled workers one. The 
first cut embraced both classes and amounted 
to 15%. In January, unskilled workers had to 
take another cut of 8 c. an hour. The con- 
ferences are being held between the unions and 
the manufacturers. 

The Jingle Contest 

DODD, Mead & Company recently offered 
a prize for the best jingle about "Yollop," 
George Barr McCutcheon's most recent book. 
The best contribution was received from Mile 
Ray Phelps, c-o. Paul Elder's, San Francisco : 
A story both timely and touchin' 
Is "Yollop" by Mr. McCutcheon ; 
With its ludicrous theme 
It unveils with a scream 
A new ''bar" in George's escutcheon. 
The next best jingle was composed by Mrs. 
A. F. Murdough, 198 Marion Street, Spring- 
field, Mass. : 

"Yollop" by George Barr McCutcheon, 
Tho' small, is a book that has much in, 
It will help you to greet 
Any burglars you meet 
Without even weapon or bludgeon! 

Jail For Book Borrower 

JUSTICE has at last overtaken the man who 
borrows books and "forgets" to return them. 
A book-borrower of Babikon, a suburb of 
Zurich, has been sentenced to two days' im- 
prisonment and a fine of $8 plus the value of 
the book he failed to return. The Magis- 
trate in passing sentence said: "A book is a 
family utensil, like furniture, and is neces- 
sary for the welfare of the family." , 

Bibles For The Blind | 

THE American Bible Society announces 
that it is bringing out a "small handy vol- : 
ume" of Scripture selections for the blind, 
according to the New York Evening Post. 
The pages are 7 by 13 inches, and the vol- 
ume will weigh about a pound. A complete 
Bible, prepared in the embossed system used 
for the blind, weighs about 150 pounds and 
comes in from 11 to 58 volumes.

New York, 
I April II, 1922. 

; Editor, Publishers' Weekly: 
i Your article in the April ist issue of your 
I paper on "The Present State of Book Manu- 
i facture" is very interesting and timely and 
I -unfortunately nearly all of your statements are 
I true. 

Hlowever, as the responsible head of a plant 
for the production of good books where the 
question of price is a secondary consideration 
and that of quality the first, I w'ould respect- 
fully ask if our books are included in your 
general criticism? If they are, I would gladly 
meet a committee of librarians or any other 
body wlho may be interested in the improve- 
ment, where possible, of American bound books, 
and have a frank discussion from the side of 
the reader or user of books and if possible 
find a remedy for the complaints in your 
article. Respectfully yours, 

C. M. Smith, Superintendent,

IT'S NOT A NEW TRICK

Editor, Publishers' Weekly: 

The bible swindle you describe in your April

<me. I was isurprised, however, to note that 
your caption was "A New Swindling Trick." 
I remember the same deception as having been 
practised about fifteen years ago and it prob- 
ably originated much before then. 

Very truly yours,

ENRY WATTERSON bequeathed his 
library and pictures to the Louisville 
Public Library. 



Charles D. Abbott of Haverford College, 
Haverford, Pa., is gathering material for a 
life of Howard Pyle, the artist, and will ap- 
preciate it if any one possessing letters or in- 
formation will communicate with him. 

The library of the late Col. Millard F. Bing- 
ham of Easton, Md., embracing books relating 
to Napoleon and his wars, the Civil War, 
general American history and miscellaneous 
literature, will be sold by Stan. V. Henkels in 
Philadelphia April 26 and 27. 

The gift to the University of California of 
Herbert Howe B'ancroft's library of 60,000 
volumes and 500 manuscripts rich in material 
concerning the history of the Far West and the 
recent formal announcement of the gift of 
Henry E. Huntington's famous library to the 
people of Southern California raises the State 
of California to a proud position so far as its 
literary possessions are concerned. 

The first intei-national exhibition of etchings 
in this city will be held by the Brooklyn So- 
ciety of Etchers at the Anderson Galleries dur- 
ing the remainder of this month. It will pre- 
sent a comprehensive view of the best con- 
temporary work of America^! and foreign 
artists and will give the opportunity to com- 
pare the work of native artists with those of 
other countries. 

An autograph letter of Bismarck's addressed 
to the Prussian Minister of War, Gen. Bronsart 
von Schellendorf, December 24, 1886, contains 
words that are almost prophetic: "If God 
wills that we shall be defeated in the next war, 
then there can be no doubt that our victorious 
opponents will halt at no expedient to prevent 
us from getting on our feet again — at least for 
a generation — just as they did in 1807. . . . 
The present German Empire would not remain 
intact after a lost campaign, as witness the 
Reiohtag election and partisan ascerbities. 
which prove how readily patriotism is for- 
gotten when partisan interests find out it is 
desirable to court favor abroad. A victorious 
France would find our opposition parties equal- 
ly servile as did Napoleon the Rhenish 
League in his day." 

The private libraries of Louis Mohr of 
Chicago, the late Mary L. Rogers of Boston, 



and other collections, comprising library sets, 
first editions, manuscripts, publications of 
famous presses, Americana, ornithological and 
colored plate books, oriental paleography and 
miniatures, were sold at the American Art 
Galleries April 11 and 12, 948 lots bringing 
$57,979- This sale immediately followed that 
of the Butler first editions and the same lively 
competition and good prices characterized it. 
William R. Hearst was present at several ses- 
sions and was perhaps the largest buyer. The 
outstanding lot of the sale was a "Common- 
place Book" in the handwriting of Charles 
Lamb containing some seventy small quarto 
leaves consisting of extracts from Garrick's 
plays, poems, notes and comment, which 
brought $2,650 and went to Charles Sessler of 
Philadelphia. 

On May 2 to 6 inclusive the library of the 
late Theodore N. Vail of this city will be sold 
at the Anderson Galleries. It was generally 
supposed that this splendid collection was the 
property of the people of Morristown, N. J.. 
as it was bequeathed to them under conditions 
which apparently were not complied with. 
This will undoubtedly be the most important 
sale of the season in this country as the library 
contains the Four Folios of Shakespeare, the 
Second and Third from the library of Robert 
Hoe; a large variety of the choicest colored 
plate books by Aiken, Cruikshank and Row- 
landson ; an extensive collection of the first 
editions of Dickens and Thackeray, the former 
with manuscripts and original drawings ; the 
Kilmarnock Burns, "Paradise Lost" with the 
first title-page, and the editio princeps of 
"Imitatio Christi"; a large collection of auto- 
graph letters and relics of Washington includ- 
ing a complete set of the "Dictionary of Arts 
and Sciences" with his autograph and book- 
plate in each volume; original letters of John 
Eliot and a copy of his Indian translation of 
the Bible, and much Americana including many 
lots of extreme rarity. Collectors and dealers 
will need to work quickly, for the short an- 
nouncement gives no time for delay. 

Several readers of this department have 
called our attention to a catalog of sixteen 
pages, without a bookseller's imprint, purport- 
ing to list "rare, limited and privately printed 
belles lettres and classical literature" and 
stating that orders would be limited to "educa- 
tors, lawyers, doctors and members of the 
learned professions." A single glance is suffi- 
cient to show that the person issuing this cata- 
log is embarking on dangerous waters and 



April 22, 1922

knows it. A closer examination reveals just 
the class of patronage that is solicited; for in- 
stance, of Bums's "Merry Muses" the cata- 
loger says: "He (Burns) gathered the folk 
songs of the countryside which were fast dis- 
appearing in oblivion, and set them before an 
admiring world. Many of them were such as 
a nature that they could not be published with 
his collected works. . . . The rarity of the 
work will merit the appreciation of those of 
mature age." Of "Ananga Ranga" he declares 
that "it is impossible not to admire the delicacy 
with which the author has handled an exceed- 
ingly delicate subject." Of "Poetica Erotica" 
he states that "the text of the verses printed 
before 1800 manifests to us, quite clearly, the 
change in literary expression from the time 
when writers used plain language to express 
their thoughts. Since i8do there has been 
much fine erotic verse, but the poets use a 
more discriminating vocabulary and a subtlety 
of thought that differentiates them from the 
apparent frankness of the earlier times." He 
terms "Aphrodite" the "frank and ardent ro- 
mance of a famous courtesan who prides her- 
self on her freely chosen place in society; the 
tale of her passions, her romances and her in- 
trigues with the Queen's lover." We could 
make other quotations even more illuminating 
but we prefer to use the less objectionable. 
We are informed that 'when an order with an 
inquiry about a book that was not on the list 
was sent it brought back the reply, "We have 
pretty nearly everything that is interesting and 
worthwhile but why write when you are so 
near. Come in and see us. This is the best 
way." These are not the earmarks of the 
legitimate bookseller trading with "educators" 
and "the learned professions," but rather that 
of the purveyor of the forbidden, the prurient 
and the pornographic. God forbid that he 
should masquerade as a rare book dealer. And 
if trouble comes to him, as it will sooner or 
later if he continues, booksellers will find 
worthier objects for sympathy.

Summer's the Time for Books! 




The bookstore has merchandise that 
people will get great pleasure and 
profit from in the summer. It is a 
pleasant duty, as well as a merchan- 
dising necessity, to bring this ener- 
getically to the readers' attention. 



People connect books with their sum- 
mer plans only when brought home 
to them by display advertising, by the 
timely sending out of catalogs, by 
excellence in window displays and by 
the readiness of the store inside.

A Matter of News-Moment 



What do you expect to find when you read a 
book page? News first — books are the most 
important commodity in the world— mind molders. 
When a real, **go-getter'* book heaves into view, 
it is a matter of news-moment first; review and 
discussion afterward. The eagle-eyed editor of 
The Daily News Book Page and his competent 
staff of scholarly rovers are ever on the alert for 
Honest-tO'Goodness books. 

This book, who wrote it, what it's about, why 
it's worth while — these things the book readers of 
Chicago have learned to look for in The Daily 
News Book Page — because they find them there. 
Dependable book news, intelligent book reviews. 
Reviews that ponder without being ponderous — 
not the **exhaustive" kind that exhaust. 

Book News — Book Discovery! The Daily 
News Book Page has pioneered in those fields — 
and earned the reputation and following it enjoys.

A companion book to Penrod and Seventeen. 
Julia Atwater, the ''prettiest girl in town/' was 
so devastatingly kind that each of her numerous 
admirers felt that he was the favored one. Each 
dangled hopelessly, yet hopefully. 

Julia was afflicted with relatives, the most try- 
ing being her niece, Florence, who, like Penrod, 
was immensely fertile and diabolically energetic. 

From Julia with her gift for dress, her dis- 
tracting coquetry and her disarming beauty, to 
Noble Dill and his fellow unfortunates Hving in a 
haze of rosy infatuation, Tarkington has pictured 
a new group of people you will recognize at once.

The Book of the Hour 

STAMPED WITH 

Alchemic Gold 

THE MAPvVEL OF THE HOUR 



When the Scientific American Publishing Company put out this new 
book on the subject now so popular — RADIO — they wanted a 
cover that would give a touch of distinction and suitably visualize 
the character of the contents. 

Naturally they specified— ALCHEMIC GOLD 

1. They had to have a material that would stand rough handling. 

—ALCHEMIC GOLD gave it to them. 

2. They had to turn the book out on time because it was on a timely 

subject. 

— ALCHEMIC GOLD being dry the moment it leaves the press, 

helped to make this possible. 

3. They wanted a gold-leaf effect, without excessive cost. 

— As it happened, gold-leaf would have cost them five times as 
much as Alchemic Gold ; or dinary imitation gold-leaf, twice as 
much. 

Since Alchemic Gold did all of this for them it surely will be of service to you 
on some of your current publications. 

THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED ABOUT ALCHEMIC GOLD 

No blanking out is necessary, even on pattern cloths. 

With Alchemic Gold no sizing, laying-on or rubbing^off is necessary. 

Alchemic Gold will not tarnish, rub off nor lose its lustre. With it, your 
binder can produce for you a publication of which you can be proud at an 
astonishingly low price. 

Ask your binder to show you samples or send his name and we 
\A/ill send you one.

by HELEN ROWLAND 

FOREWORD BY FANNY HURST 



Helen Rowland's newest and sprightliest book — a masterpiece of flashing 
satire. A book for wives — as a guide to husbands; for spinsters — as a 
guide to matrimony; for men — to secretly chuckle over their own follies. 
Here man is turned inside out like an old coat, with all the seams 
showing yet handled so sagely that he can only grin and admit the truth. 
A brilliant foreword by Fanny Hurst. 



Read ^em and chuckle 



"In order to be popular with 
men, a brunnette must be 
brilliant, rich or beautiful — ^but 
a blonde doesn't have to be any- 
thing but a blonde.'* 

"Nothing bores a man so much 
as to have a woman give him 
all her love, when he only 
wanted a little of it." 



"Love is misery — sweetened 
with imagination, sahed with 
tears, spiced with doubt, fla- 
vored with novelty and swal- 
lowed with your eyes shut," 

"Somehow, the moment a man 
surrenders the key of his heart 
to a woman, he begins to think 
about changing the lock."

"I 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." — Bacx)N. 

Copyrights and the Register 
Thereof 

IT is a fortunate circumstance when a life 
Avork can be crowned by the fulfillment of 

a life aim, and this will be the happy out- 
come of the career of Thorvald Solberg, 
Register of Copyrights, in case the pending 
copyright bill becomes law within reasonable 
time. 

On April 22nd Mr. Solberg completed his 
seventieth year, and on June 30th he will com- 
plete his twenty-five years of service as 
Register of Copyrights, which «had been pre- 
ceded by thirteen years of earlier service, 
1876-1889, in the Library of Congress under 
Librarian Spofford, part of tihat time as li- 
brarian of the law lilbrary of Congress. 

Mr. Solberg has been the only holder of the 
post of Register of Coyrights, which was 
created as of July i, 1897, by previous legis- 
lation. At that time Mr. Spoffbrd's long 
service, inclusive of the handling of copyrights, 
had come to an end and a new librarian, John 
Russell Young, had 1)een appointed. Two 
years later, on the death of Mr. Young, Her- 
bert Putnam was made Librarian of Congress, 
and both Dr. Ptitnam and Mr. Solberg have 
since worked together in Ibehalf of copyright 
progress. It was Mr. Solberg who drew, un- 
der the librarian's authority, the first memoran- 
dum on which was based the discussion of the 
conferences whose outcome was the copyright 
code of 1909. The Librarian of Congress has 
been unwilling that the library or copyright 
organization should become responsible for new 
legislation, but Mr, Solberg has unofficially 
given the greatest possible service in the prep- 
aration of the bill which will make possible 
the participation of America in the Interna- 
tional Copyright Union. This has been the 
Ultima Thule of Mr. Solberg' s hopes and de- 
sires, and all friends of copyright may hope 
and desire that his labors may be crowned by 



tile enactment of the bill which will bring us 
into this family of nations. 

When Mr. Solberg assumed the post of 
Register there was practically no organization 
of the office. Since the registry of copyright 
in the clerk's office of the many District 
courts thruout the states had given way to 
registration in Washington, Librarian Spof- 
ford had for years personally handled copy- 
right applications, often placing the receipts in 
a drawer of his desk in such careless fashion 
as to lead to the unfounded (suspicion when 
his accounts were finally audited that there 
had been more than carelessness. The growth 
of business necessitated the help of others, but 
it was left to Register Solberg to begin an 
office organization, which now includes about 
a hundred faithful employees, in hearty co- 
operation thruout, appointed without reference 
to political considerations and holding their 
jobs by merit alone. 

The returns from copyright fees have reached 
approximately $150,000 a year, and during the 
quarter century more than $2,000,000, have 
been paid into the United States Treasury, 
more than covering the direct expenses of the 
office. 

The copyright bill, the preparation of which 
is coincident with Mr. Sollberg's quarter cen- 
tenary as Register, will, when pasised, be the 
crown and culmination of his endeavors to 
assure for America its proper place in respect 
to literary property, towards which end he 
has labored for years. 

Pros and Cons on the Copyright 
Bill 

THE copyright code of 1909, continuiiig 
from the miscalled international copy- 
right measure of 1891, made a bar against 
the) entrance of America into the International 
Copyright Union. The manufacturing clause 
proved of little use to the typographers and has 
since been entirely outgrown, and it has had the 
indirect result of inducing Canada to enact a 
manufacturing clause modeled upon ours and 
intended to prevent American exports into 
Canada. 

The measure pending before Congress is 
the text originally printed in the Puni.iSHin^s' 
Weekly for January 21, 1922, wih the ex- 
ception of alterations in Section 5. These 
are omissions made because, on the authority 
of the director of the International Copyright 
Union, Professor Rothlisberger, it was thought 



I2l6 



The Publishers' Weekb 



that the provisions now omitted would still 
bar entrance into: the Union. These provisions 
limited the extension of copyright to works 
"thereafter firsi published," i. e., after the 
President's proclamation, and to countries 
which provided reciprocal relations. 

The revised Berne Convention granted full 
international copyright thruout the Union to 
existing as well as future works, without re- 
gard to reciprocifty, and on this broad basis 
international relations have been based. "Law- 
ful acts heretofore done within the United 
States or rights in copies heretofore lawfully 
made," previous to the President's proclama- 
tion, are specifically protected by the language 
of Section 5, so that the extension refers only 
to w^orks of which no American use has been 
made. In other words, the law is not retro- 
active, in the sense of recovering authors' 
rights which have lapsed, but simply recog- 
nizes rights which are not challenged, while 
the specific provision in the International Con- 
vention exempting mechanical music reproduc- 
tions from any "retroactive" protection doubly 
safeguards that important industry. 

The delay in the introduction of the bill 
arose from the agreement between the 
Authors' League and the International Typo- 
graphical Union leaders that the measure 
should not be pressed until the tariff had come 
to the front. Objection to the introduction 
of the measure was withdrawn when the tariff 
schedules were published, on the understanding 
that hearings would not be called for or the 
bill pressed for passage until these more press- 
ing matters of legislation were out of the way. 
The illness of the chairman of the House 
Patents Committee has also made immediate 
hearings undesiralble, but doubtless there will 
be opportunity for full statements of opinion 
later on. A few points in the bill will be 
seriously debated, but the whole consensus of 
opinion is in favor of its early passage in 
the ensuing session, and it is to be hoped, in- 
deed, as elsewhere suggested, that this triumph 
may be had within Mr. Solberg's term as 
Register of Copyrights. 

While the questions of copyright protection 
and of tariff duties should be absolutely dis- 
tinct, they are, nevertheless, often confused 
in theory and entangled in practice, and it 
may be -well to summarize briefly the statistics 
involved in both questions. 

The manufacturing clause, which the printers 
originally preferred to tariff protection, has 
done less for the printers than was expected 



In the more than dozen years since July i, 
1909, only 4274 English titles have been regis- 
tered for ad interim protection. These are 
mostly for articles in periodicals, one English 
publication alone covering Z7^ titles of articles. 
Of independent book titles, only 1873 were 
thus entered, and of these but 1241 had copy- 
rights completed by deposit of copies of 
American manufacture. It is estimated that 
possibly 200 of these did not legally obtain 
copyright by full compliance with formalities. 
Thus, not more and possibly less than 100 
books a year have been produced under the 
ad interim feature of the manufacturing clause. 
These figures, however, do not take into ac- 
count the number of books, probably much 
larger, of such notable authorship or other- 
wise sure of sale that type was set and print- 
ing done previous to the simultaneous publica- 
tion of the book in England and America, so 
that no ad interim entry was needed. These 
are booiks which would naturally have separate 
American editions, because of the probabilities 
of sale here, so that in respect to these the 
manufacturing clause is almost of negligible 
importance. 

In comparison with this, the figures of Amer- 
ican exports and Canadian imports of books are 
significant. In four years our exports of 
printed matter to Canada have nearly trebled, 
reaching in 1920, the latest year for which 
figures are available, a total of $6,529,667. 
Most of this was in periodicals, tho fiction, gen- 
eral literature, text-books, Bibles and prayer 
books entered largely into this international 
trade, the books as such approximating $1,000,- 
000. The Canadian law now pending includes 
periodicals as well as books in the manufac- 
turing clause, following our own precedent 
and under this provision serials, as novels, and 
other contributions published in periodicals 
would forfeit copyright in Canada unless manu- 
factured there. This would check American 
typographic work to that extent, vastly out- 
weighing any benefit from our own manufac- 
turing clause. 

Our exports of printed material to Canada 
more than balance our imports of such ma- 
terial from the United Kingdom, which for 
1920, amounted to $4,878,367, of which less 
than one-third are in any competitive class. 
To what extent these figures would be in- 
creased without the manufacturing clause is. 
of course, indeterminable. It remains true, as 
above suggested, that the large figures for 
books ot English origan would be of books 



April 29, 1922

naturally published in American editions. The 
moral is easy to be drawn. Unless we repeal 
our manufacturing clause, Canada is likely to 
enforce a manufacturing clause against us 
and the result to American printers, as well 
as publishers, will be far out of proportion to 
any benefit that can come from copyright or 
tariff restrictions intended to bar out English 
publications. 

The one provision in the copyright bill which 
involves serious contest in the Committee hear- 
ings is that included on the instance of pub- 
lishers and against the protest of librarians, 
i. e., the proviso that libraries may import 
original editions of English books only in case 
the, American publisher "has within ten days 
after written demand declined or. neglected 
to agree to supply the copy demanded." This 
phraseology was intended as a compromise be- 
tween publishers, who take the legal view that 
the American market, conveyed by assignment 
of copyright, necessarily implies the sole right 
to import as well as publish, and librarians, 
who hold that the privilege given by presdous 
copyright bills of importing copyright books 
without restriction as well as duty free should 
not be circumscribed. The publishers' view 
is in strict accordance with the theory of 
copyright which gives the author or his as- 
sign the exclu&ive righti to control his books 
for a divided territory as well as for a specified 
time. The librarians' view is that if the 
author is paid his royalty on the original 
edition there is no reason why there should 
be a commercial bar on the part of publishers, 
whether English or American, against its free 
export and import. 

Authors are disposed to take the view of 
the publishers, that the author may divide his 
copyright as he may desire and assign to pub- 
lishers such division as in his judgment may 
best provide for marketing his wares. This 
has been the trend of English legal decisions, 
and the British Society of Authors has re- 
ceived from its counsel an opinion which, in 
general, supports this view. This opinion is 
also strongly held by Director Rothlisberger 
of the International Copyright Union, the 
highest world-authority on international copy- 
right. It should be noted that the citation of 
the Tauchnitz series is not in point, for* this 
is a reprint and not an original edition, and 
the contest here centers on the permission to 
import original editions and not reprints. It 
is to he hoped that neither publishers nor li- 
brarians will take the position that if the de- 



cision on this clause] is not to their respective 
liking they will oppose entrance into the Inter- 
national Copyright Union. Whichever side 
should win in this controversy, it would be a 
stultification, indeed, if the other side should 
endeavor to block our entrance into this fam- 
ily of nations by opposition to the main pur- 
pose of the bill. 



New 
Convention Headquarters 

THE fire at the New Willard Hotel, 
Washington, has necessitated the 
transfer of the convention hall for the 
daily sessions to the new Hotel Wash- 
ington in the same block facing the 
Treasury Buildihg. The Hotel Wash- 
ington is admirably suited to the needs 
of the Convention and is very conven- 
iently located. While the New Willard 
management at first hoped to take care 
of all reservations made up to April 
22nd, word comes as we go to press 
that, owing to the damaged condition of 
the rooms, only about half of the reser- 
vationis can he taken care of. The En- 
tertainment Committee, of which Simon 
L. Nye of S. Kann & Sons is Chairman, 
will look after all necessary transfer of 
hotel accommodations and have the 
designations ready for reference on the 
arrival of the members. 



Undoubtedly Numbers Count 

THERE has been unanimous opinion that 
Washington was an ideal selection as a 
place for the 1922 Booksellers' Conven- 
tion, and the announcements both for program 
and for entertainment leave nothing to be de- 
sired. All that is needed now is the full re- 
sponse of the book-trade. 

Beginning with the Boston Convention, there 
has been a steady crescendo of interest in the 
Conventionls, with the result that the discus- 
sions have reached more people and left a 
wider impress on trade progress. That the 
health of bookselling in face of general trade 
difficulties has been largely due to a reawakened 
trade consciousness and constructive ideas that 
would not have had a hearing except for the 
Conventionis must be acknowledged. From 
every point of view of ^personal gain and trade 
improvement, the Association needs and de- 
serves the full attendance of everyone who can 
reach Washington on May 8th.

An Alluring Invitation 

THRU the courtesy of James F. Meegan of 
the Rare iBook Shop, the privileges of the 
Racquet Club can be secured' for about twenty 
members. The Club is situated at i6th and L 
Streets,, four blocks from the White House 
and six from the Hotel Washington. All the 
rooms are single — those with bath are $3-50; 
without bath, $2.50; and two rooms with bath 
between, $3.00. The Racquet is the latest word 
in club construction, and Mr. Meegan will take 
pleasure in giviing to each of the twenty guests 
a seven-day card so that they can enjoy all 
of the privileges, including the dining-room, 
swimming pool, squash and racquet courts, 
bowling alleys, etc. 

Textbooks Again Under Fire 

AFTER a period of quiet extending over 
some weeks, the New York Commissioner 
of Accounts, David Hirshfield, has again begun 
holding hearings on the subject of the revision 
of American history textbooks. The meeting 
on April i8th was addressed by George E. 
Morrison, of Newburgh, who pointed out that 
Senator Truman H. Newberry, of Michigan, 
"gets the bulk of his income from the Ameri- 
can Book Company." Comissioner Hirshfield, 
to the amusement of those present, stated that 
he might call for this Company's books, as he 
thought it was a British owned corporation. 
Charles Edward Russell stated that he had 
been approached twenty-.five years ago by a man 
who wanted to interest him in revising text- 
books so that the American Revolution would 
appear like a family row. Mr. Russell said 
that the man bad been sent from England to 
aid in forming an alliance between this country- 
and Great Britain. Later, Mr. Russell said, 
"I was amazed to find that the histories had 
been revised along the lines suggested by my 
visitor and that since then the books have been 
making less of the Revolution and the war of 
1812." 

Freight Hearing for Publishers 

THE Official Classification Committee on 
freiglht rates grantcfd a hearing to the 
National Association of Book Publishers on 
the freight rates for textbooks, in less-than-car 
load lots, the committee meeting on April 19th 
in New York. The association pointed out the 
need of a lower classification in order to give 
all possible assistance to the distribution of 
books, and instanced many views of the present 
situation that would make this peculiarly im- 
portant to the ultimate consumer. The brief 
for the publishers was presented by Frederic 
G. Melcher, supported by William E. Pulsifer, 
of D. C. Heath & Company, and by Mr. Lin- 



coln of the trafhc division of the Merchants' 
Association of New York. A strong letter on 
the subject was contributed by J, W. Crabtree, 
Secretary of the National Education Asso- 
ciation at Washington. 

English Book-Trade Strike 

EVEN with Americans familiar with the 
strike as an industrial weapon, it is diffi- 
cult for the American book-trade to realize 
the disruptive complications that came to the 
English book-trade thru the strike of their 
packers that ran for seven weeks. The dis- 
tribution of books was thoroly demoralized 
to the great loss of authors, publishers, book- 
sellers and the public. The settlement has 
proved a victory for the publishers, appar- 
ently because they bad the better case and 
had enough cohesive strength to fight it 
thru. There has been now a reduction of 
five shillings a week from the standard 
packers' wage and agreeipent for a further 
reduction spread over twelve months and 
amounting in all to 14s. 6d. After April 23rd 
there is to be no further reduction for the 
next nine months and a three months' notice 
of any reduction to apply for a revision. 
These terms had been practically agreed on 
a fortnight before the strike terminated, but 
were held up by the determination of some 
of the pu])lishers not to take back the staffs 
who were out on a strike. This situation 
was ultimately worked out, and the men are 
again at work. Special meetings are now 
taking place in the Printing Trades Council 
with a view to adjusting the printers' wages. 
The last two reductions were 5s. in October 
and 2s. 6d. in January. The master printers 
are now in conference to decide what further 
reductions they should claim. 

Library Talk by Radio 

FOR their radio pnogram of April 3rd the 
St. Louis Posi'-Dispatch invited Dr. Arthur 
E. Bostwick, Librarian of the St. Louis Public 
Library, to speak on library matters, thus 
giving new evidence of the value of radio in 
connecting the book and news of the book with 
the gaieral public. 

Canada To Louvain 

CANADLAN publishers have had compiled 
for presentation to the new library of 
Louvain University a representative selection of 
their publications dealing particularly with the 
history, geography. Life anid economids of 
Canada. The idea bf the presentation origin- 
ated with Frank Wise, formerly president of 
the Macmillan Co., Limited, of Canada. He 
has been instrumental in securing the donations.

The Story of W. H. Smith & Sons 

PART II 

A Distribution Plan That Reaches Every Type of Reader 



No bookish American has ever traveled in 
England without noticing that on every 
hand books and periodicals are thrust 
prominently to his attention by a chain of book- 
stalls and bookshops whose adequacy in equip- 
ment and efficiency leaves an indelible impres- 
sion. If the most pressing problem of the 
book world today is that of distribution, then 
a study of the W. H. Smith & Son stores 



Weekly of April 22nd, the business developed 
from the newspaper and periodical end so that 
the constant inclination of the firm has natur- 
ally been to keep the popular price features to 
the front. The displays at the railway stations 
did, in fact, create so much of an outlet for 
popular fiction that the publishers were .prac- 
tically put into the business by the increase 
in distribution. In this way an increased mar-

should be one of the first steps taken by the 
book-trade of America in searching for con- 
crete examples of good merchandising. The 
very extent of the business shows that the 
firm has used sound merchandising methods 
to appeal to a broad democratic public, and <»n 
this basils its growth has been directed. 

As was pointed out in the history of W. H. 
Smith & Son, issued in the Ptjblishi:ks' 



ket was found for one volume fiction which 
was still further developed by the circulating 
liibraries. 

In the same way when the cheap reprints 
developed within the last dozen years the seven 
pennies of the days before the war or the two 
shilling bodks of today, W. H. Smith & Son, 
became an outlet of tremendous importance, 
and their order alone would be enough to make

ONE OF THE W, H. SMITH S UAILWAY BOOKSTALLS, THAT AT KINGS CROSS STATION. LONDON 



a series successful. The railway stalls have 
also been able to merchandise many types of 
books other than fiction, and the English market 
has, thru this and other display means, been 
the outlet for much popular science and history, 
such as the Home University Library and other 
series. 

The railway station displays of books in the 
United States have in but few notable in- 
stances equalled in importance those of the 
suiccessful stalls of the W, H. Smith & Son 
chain. An illustration on this page shows a 
typical railway bookstall, the one at King's 
Croiss, London. That the emphasis of the dis- 
play is on books while giving full attention to 
the magazines is clearly shown. 

When W. H. Smith & Son were forced into 
the bookshop business by the loss of the leases 
on the London and Northwestern Railway, and 
the Great Western, they brought to the new 
problem imagination, capital and merchandising 
energy that made of the change a new epoch 
in the business. These 'bookshops are now a 
striking feature of scores of English cities, 
and such pains have been lavished on their ex- 
terior and their display that they become marked 
shops, even on the busiest streets. Some idea 



of the beauty of the store fronts can be had 
from the photograph of the Cheltenham Shop, 
here reproduced. The lettering of the sign is 
characteristic, and the four words— Booksellers, 
Librarians, Newsagents, Stationers — give the 
description of the various aspects of the busi- 
ness as carried on; bookbinders, printers aiid 
advertising agents, might be added. Over the 
door is a beautiful stone carving, on which can 
be read: "The world so loud and they the 
movers of the world so still," and lower over 
the entrance in hand-carved lettering runs the 
appropriate quotation from Wordsworth, 
"Dreams, Boo'ks are each a world and Books 
we know are a substantial world both pure and 
good." 

The plan of the entrance of this shop is 
worthy of careful study. The principal shelves 
for display are brought close to the glass in a 
fashion not often used in the United States, 
but one which permits the display of many 
books, any of which can be removed at a mo- 
ment's notice if there are not duplicates inside, 
and it is also a type of display that can be 
changed in minor details without disturbing the 
whole structure. Because these windows are 
set back a little under the edge of the wood-

work, they can ^ be well illuminated and made 
readable from top to bottom. The display 
cases round the central pillars serve as admir- 
able show space for miscellaneous material 
from the stationery department. 

As one turns toward the door, one linds 
periodicals openly displayed in the entrance 
way, so that there need be no passerby so un- 
used to specialty -shops that he feels any 
hesitation to make his purchase. This con- 
tinouis effort to keep lin contact with a great 
democratic public is characteristic of the Smith 
stores and undoubtedly one of the great reasons 
for their success. In spite of the care and 
exacting taste lavished upon the store front, 
there is still the feeling that thru the doorway 
anyone, however humble, is welcome to enter. 
This same impression is carried out inside, and 
one will usually find the popular priced books 
and periodicals just inside with stationery run- 
ning down along one wall, popular books on 
the other side, with the more substantial books 
toward the rear. At the far end is an alcove 
for the circulating Hbrary, which is a feature 
of every store and a very active feature. 

A less elaborate front is shown in the picture 
of the Whitchurch Shop in London, particu- 
larly interesting for the way in which the half 
timbered architecture has been used for the 
building and the shop made harmonious with 
the general plan. This shop has an entrance 
where even more goods are displayed than in 
the Cheltenham Shop, post-cards as well as 
periodicals being out in the open and protected 
by the overhang of the woodwork. The hang- 
ing lantern with ishop monogram, which is used 
in all the stores to catch attention farther down 
the street, can be seen at the corner of tbis 
Whitchurch Shop. 

Another shop that deserves special mention 
is the one in Stratford-on-Avon. Here Smith's 
have taken their old shop and have made it into 
a Judith Shakespeare Museum. The renova- 
tions have been in charge of F. C. Bayliss. 
superintending architect for the company, and 
have been done with scrupulous care. The old 
building had been refaced in the nineteenth 
century, tho the interior has been left almost 
intact, and it has now been given a rebuilding 
that makes it a notable feature of High Street. 
The selling of goods is confined to souvenirs 
of Stratford. On a vacant site on High Street 
they have built a bookshop of Elizabethan istylc 
such as the bard himself might have rejoiced 
in. The interior is finished in old oak, and 
from a true minstrels' gallery the circulating 
library looks down on the rest of the store. ^ 

With this large group of stores it is possible 
to plan advertising of an individual and effective 
kind, and signs and display slogans suitable 
to the different seasons of the year are pre- 
pared toy the Publicity Department and sent out 



to the many stalls and shops. Some of these 
iiave been beautiful in execution and very ef- 
fective in their sales argument. The inter- 
locking system is admirable for the train- 
ing of good managers for the different stores. 
The staff numbers 15,000, and there are 1,500 
railway bookstalls and 250 bookshops estab- 
lished thruout England and Wales as well as 
in Paris, Brussels and Ostend. The head- 
ciuarters alone employs 1,500, and there are 37 
branch wholesale houses. Besides their own 
stalls and shops, the company reaches 5,000 
newsdealers dailv.

open to some one's criticism and it is not to be 
expected that its information in regard to values
