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.

Broad  humanity,  depth  of

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.

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 
builder  that  he  will  have  a  more  comfortable

how  much  more  legible  is  the  story  on  her

ing from  their  hike.  The  man  has  an  open  bird

of  the  business  is  done  in  that  time.  The

of  the  publishers  is  also  indicated  by  these 
statistics.

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- 


96o 


The  Publishers'  Weekly; 


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

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-

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

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.""

THE   WHITE    HOUSE 

WASHINGTON 


February  27,  1922. 


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. 

Very  sincerely. 


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  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

setting  against  a  design  of  a  spreading  tree 
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.

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

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.

wisdom  and  the  masterly  style  with  w*hich  the  author  handles  her  subject.  Here  is  a 
Glyn  novel  that  will  not  only  delight  her  host  of  friends  who  have  been  waiting  for  just 
such  a  tale  from  her  pen,  but  also  all  readers  who  appreciate  fine  literature.  The 
"grand  moments"  of  life  which  come  to  the  hero  and  heroine,  keep  one  tense  and 
expectant,  on  edge  as  it  were  for  the  final  scene — one  of  the  most  beautiful  in  contemporary

transmitting     and     receiving     apparatus 

By  LAURENCE  M.  COCKADAY 

Technical  Editor,  "Popular  Radio"  and  ''The  Modulator" 

Published  just  in  time  to  meet  the  increasing  need  for  a 
popular,  non-technical  book  o^n  the  wireless  telephone,  this  first 
volume  of  its  kind  should  leap  at  once  into  steady  demand. 

Every  detail  of  construction,  every  step  in  installation  and 
operation  is  carefully  and  clearly  explained.  Mr.  Cockaday  has 
been  a  practical  worker  in  radio-telephony  for  fifteen  years.  His 
book  stands  alone  for  simplicity,  authenticity  and  readability.

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.

"Summer 
Reading'' 


What  it  is. 
Why  it  is  good 
for  your  business. 


A  100-page  magazine 
booklist,  full  of  sug- 
gestions as  to  what 
new  Ibooks  to  "take 
along." 

Books  are  entered 
under  many  classifi- 
cations to  meet  the 
interests  of  every 
prospective  buyer. 
There  is  a  full  de- 
scriptive annotation 
under  all  important 
new  titles.  There 
are  many  illustra- 
tions and  a  whole  lot 
of  "sales  punch"  that 
will  inspire  book 
buying. 

Printed  on  special 
light  weight  white 
paper,  with  an  unus- 
ual cover  design  of 
the  out-of-doors.  Im- 
printed on  front  cov- 
er, it  becomes  the 
individual  catalog  of 
the  bookseller. 
Supplied  with  envel- 
ope order  form  and 
return  envelotpe. 


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. 


Consider — 

"SUMMER  READING" 

1922 

It  is  in  supplying  the  means  of 
reaching  customers  who  scat- 
ter to  new  addresses,  and  peo- 
ple who  are  new  to  a  book- 
store's vicinity  that  Summer 
Reading  is  edited  and  printed 
at  this  office. 

This  magazizne  list  of  a  hun- 
dred illustrated  pages  is  the  kind 
of  thing  a  customer  will  keep 
by  during  the  summer  months 
and  is  a  dignified  means  of 
making  favorable  impression  on 
new  people.

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.

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.

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.

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

characterization.

Kinwidden,  better

has  come  from  his

a  wealthy  girl  for 
whom  he  had  served

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.

By    GEORGE    BARR    McCUTCHEQN 

Smilk  the  burglar,  caught  red-handed  in 
the  apartments  of  Mr.  YoUop,  gives  his 
captor  some  amazingly  original  thoughts

prospective  sojourn  in  prison  -with  its

deeply  concerned,  afford  the  reader  many 
a  chuckle.  A  humorous  novel  with  a 
serious  purpose.

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.

"The  Great  Prince 
Shan,"  a  fascinating 
story  ot  world  poli- 
tics in  1934,  has  every- 
thing that  goes  to  the 
making  of  an  enthrall-

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

PATCHWORK 

BY  BEVERLEY  NICHOLS 

A  novel  of  young 
England  by  a  young 
Englishman  just  down 
from  Oxford.  It  offers 
many  striking  com- 
parisons with  "This 
Side  of  Paradise"  and 
"T  h  e  Beginning  of 
Wisdom,"  since  it 
describes  vividly  the 
English  university  life 
and  the  aspirations  of 
clever,  post-war  English  youth.  It  is 
also  the  novel  of  Oxford,  as  Oxford  is 
today.  The  hosts  of  Americans  who  are 
interested  in  that  famous  place,  those 
whose  friends  and  brothers  are  or  have 
been  Oxford  students,  will  welcome  this

THE  SECRET  VICTORY 

By  STEPHEN  McKENNA 

Stephen  McKenna 
wrote  "Sonia"  and 
proved  his  genius 
for  brilliant  por- 
trayal of  the  woman 
these  hectic  times 
have  made.  Now 
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."

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 
publisher's  office.  In 
"Abbe  Pierre"  all 
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 
Gascony  forms  a  delightful  frame  for 
these  and  other  unique  characters.

YOUNG  BOSWELL

TINKER 


To  those  who  have  long  found  de- 
light in  the  LIFE  OF  JOHNSON  it  is 
sufficient  to  say  that  as  a  letter  writer 
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.

THE  CONQUEST  OF  FEAR 

By  BASIL  KING 

When  the  hard  times  struck  one  of  the 
biggest  corporations  whose  product  was  a 
luxury  the  bottom  seen'ed  to  fall  out  of 
their  world.  The  advertising  manager, 
like  all  his  colleagues,  was  plunged  in 
gloom.  He  happened  to  read  Basil  King's 
"The  Conquest  of  Fear."  It  put  new 
heart  into  him.  He  gave  copies  to  his 
associates.  It  had  the  same  effect  upon 
them.  Hopefulness  drove  out  gloom 
throughout  the  entire  organization  and 
business  began  to  pick  up.  A  small  book 
had  helped  to  save  a  great  corporation !

THE  HOME  RADIO 

How  To  Make  and  Use  It 

By  A.  Hyatt  Verrill 

(Price  75  cents) 

HERE    it  is!    Just  the  book  you  have  been  waiting 
for.    THE  HOME  RADIO:    HOW  TO  MAKE 
AND  USE  IT,  by  A.  Hyatt  Verrill.    It  is  just  off 
the    press    and    we    are    prepared    to    make    immediate 
deliveries.     And  the  price  is  right — 75  cents. 

This  book  is  intended  and  designed  particularly  for 
the  use  of  amateurs,  young  and  old,  and  those  who  wish 
to  know  how  to  make,  use,  or  adjust  wireless  telephone 
instruments. 

The  author  has  purposely  avoided  all  technical  terms 
and  dissertations,  and  has  aimed  to  make  his  directions 
and  explanations  plain  and  simple,  illustrated  by  purely 
diagramatic  figures. 

THE  HOME  RADIO:  HOW  TO  MAKE  AND 
USE  IT  has  a  good  looking  jacket  and  cover  showing 
a  typical,  clean-cut  American  boy  with  ear  phones  in 
place  tuning  up  an  interesting  looking  radio  set. 

Nothing  has  ever  stirred  the  imagination  of  the  young 
and  old  of  the  entire  Nation  as  Radio  has  done  in  the 
last  few  months.  Now  is  the  psychological  time  for  you 
as  a  bookseller  to  cash  in  on  the  Radio  craze,  while 
thousands  every  day  are  becoming  interested  in  the 
greatest  toy  of  modern  science.     (Order  now.)

p'VERY   bookseller   knows   that  the    sale   of 
Lawrence's  books  has  been  growing  steadily. 
This  is  one  of  his  great  novels. 

The  book  deals  with  the  relation  of  man  and 
wife,  the  passional  struggle  between  the  sexes  that 
characterizes  our  day.  Through  his  men  and 
women  Lawrence  expresses  the  agitations  and 
soul-upheavals  of  the  whole  of  modern  life.  He 
makes  poignant  drama  of  even  mere  conversation.

"/  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. 


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.

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.

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.

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. 

EXECUTIVE 
American  college  woman,  30  to  35  years,  or  cultural 
equivalent,  to  manage  and  develop  a  small,  very 
famous  artistic  book  shop;  knowledge  of  all  literature, 
business  experience,  stenography,  typewriting,  book- 
keeping; good  opportunity  for  capable  woman  with 
pleasing  personality  and  modern  mind.     W  443  Times. 


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

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. 

P.    Stammer.

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

Tragedy  of  the  Sierras,"  8vo.,  cloth,  Truckee,

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.

By  KATHARINE

By  the  author  of 

The  Branding 

Iron" 


"Q"  says:  — 


night- 


"There's    gels    that    needs 
herding  till  they're  eighty.' 

"Lots  of  folks  cries  for  the  moon 
but  almighty  few's  willin'  to  work  for 

it." 

"Knowin'  horses,  I  hev  discovered, 
ain't  so  much  of  a  help  in  knowin' 
people.    Horses  hev  got  so  much  more 

sense." 


We  believe  "Q"  will  appeal  to  as 
many  people  as  Mrs.  Burt's  great 
success,  "The  Branding  Iron."  It  has 
the  same  skillful  blending  of  romance 
and  action,  and  in  "Q"  himself,  it  has 
one  of  the  most  friendly,  fascinating 
and  colorful  characters  of  recent 
fiction.

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

THE  advance  sale  of  The  Rayner-

any  previous  book  by  this  popular

since  The  Middle-Temple  Murder. 
I  am  therefore  undertaking  a  generous 
advertising  campaign  for  it  in  the  be-

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  average  cover: 

1.  Covers  done  w^ith  Alchemic  Gold  are  dry  the 
moment  they  leave  the  press. 

— Think  what  this  means  in  production  speed. 

2.  With  Alchemic  Gold  no  sizing,  laying-on,  or 
rubbing-off  is  necessary. 

— Think  what  these  points  mean  iu  the  shop. 

3.  Alchemic  Gold  will  not  tarnish,  rub  off  nor  lose 
its  lustre. 

— Think    what  these  points   mean   in   the  selling 
appeal  of  the  finished  book. 

Ask  your  binder  to  show  you  samples  and  quote  prices.

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.

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, 


1098 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


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.

your    personality    and    atmosphere   to    the    re- 


cipient and  by  its  digmity  and  charm  makes 
reply  and  action  on  the  part  of  the  person 
addressed  pleasurable  and  easy.  The  Routine 
Letterhead  should  tell  the  name,  the  address 
and  the  business.  Balance  and  character  are 
achieved  only  by  careful  thought  and  planning 
but  deserve  it. 

The  cost  of  preparing  letterheads  with  care, 
and  of  reproducing  them  in  modern  attractive 
type  is  little  more  than  is  necessary  for  the 
manufacture  "oif  any  old  letterhead."  Hand 
lettering,  an  especially  attractive  design,  or  a 
spot  of  color  in  the  letterhead  cost  but  little 
iu  addition  to  the  usual  preparation  but  mean 
much  in  the  dealer's  approach  to  his  trade 
thru  his  letter.

The  Sales  Letterhead  is  characterized  by  the 
fact  that  on  it  the  attempt  has  been  made  to 
carry  a  genuine  sales  message.  It  is  not  left 
to  what  is  said  in  the  letter  for  sales  making. 
Figures  2  and  3  show  types  of  the  Sales  Let- 
terhead. Products  are  visualized.  Merohan- 
,  disc  is  listed.  Auxiliary  businesses  are  indi- 
cated.  Other  services  are  brought  to  the  at- 
tention. 

Booksellers  can  indicate  types  of  literature 
'  carried  or  emphasized.  They  can  list  titles  of 
i  books.  They  might  frequently  describe  or  oth- 
1  crwise  promote  the  sale  of  a  specific  book  or 
:'  books.  The  department  from  which  the  letter 
li  comes  might  be  in  the  heading,  or.  more  pfr

corporated.  Booksellers  are  after  sales  and  all 
that  can  be  done  to  get  sales  without  sacrifice 
of  balance  and  character  should  be  attempted. 
One  of  the  many  successful  ways  of  securing 
sales  thru  the  letterhead  is  the  reproduction  of 
evidences  of  satisfactory  service — goodwill. 
Lists  of  well  served  patrons,  either  individuals 
or  clubs,  can  be  used  with  success  Letterheads 
can  be  imprinted  with  words  of  commendation 
either  of  service  or  of  books  read.  Pithy  parts 
of  good,  reviews  can  be  reproduced.  The  book- 
seller who  works  out  his  letterhead  in  terms 
of  sales  will  lind  that  there  are  many  ways  of 
making  the  letterhead  sales  producing.  He  may 
think  in  terms  of  books,  be  may  think  in  terms 
of   seasons  or  he   may   think   in  terms   of  the

Year  Round  Bookselling  Campaign  and  find 
many  ideas  that  can  be  adapted  and  represented 
with  profit  upon  his  letterhead.  The  letterhead 
is  an  advertising  medium  of  importance.  Its 
space  is  rated  at  no  prohibitive  price,  and  its 
circulation  is  thru  the  one  class  toi  whom  your 
business  caters — ibook  customers.  It  is  time  that 
all  ibooksellers  give  thought  and  care  to  their 
letterheads. 

There  can  be  no  figures  shown  here  that_  will 
indicate  at  what  comparatively  small  additional 
cost  advertising  displays  and  sales  messages 
may  be  made  on  letterheads.  The  costs  ^  of 
printing  vary  widely  from  locality  to  locality. 
But  your  printer  can  tell  you  with  what  little 
additional  cost  changes  of  "copy"  down  the 
side  of  your  letterhead  may  be  made.  An  as- 
sortment of  imprinted  messages  can  be  repro- 
duced at  the  bottom  of  your  letterhead — and 
v;ith  very  little  extra  cost  when  done  in  con- 
junction   with    regular    printing    of    your    sta- 


tionery. But  even  if  you  have  special  "jobs" 
done  for  each  sales  letterhead  you  send  out — 
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-

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

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  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,'' 

Prize  For  a  Slogan

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

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- 
ton.    The   second   week  of  the  exhibition  was 


devoted  entirely  to  birds  and  wild  flowers,  and 
special  attractions  were  arranged  of  interest  to 
boys  and  girls.

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- 


April  15,  1922

)  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

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. 
The  best  edition  of  an  author  may  be  bad, 
indeed,  often  is  bad,  and  moreover  plenty  of 
authors  have  been  collected  in  complete  and 
expensive  sets  who  have  never  been  edited  in 
any  real  sense."  The  list  of  editions,  Mr. 
Curie  gives  as:

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!

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 


■Ipril  15,  1922

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

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.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


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 
it  to  EVERY  MERCHANT  in  your  COMMUNITY,  ASKING  them  in  turn  to  DO  the  same.     The 

COST    IS    NOTHING.       ThE    OBJECT    IS    GREAT.       GeT    EVERYONE    tO    WRITE    tO    their     MEMBERJ  of 

Congress  to  support  and  vote  for  the  bill.    Do  it  at  once. 

Having  done  this,  come  tO'  the  Convention  in  Washington,  May  8,  9,  10,  11.     Get  your 

reservations  at  the  hotel  without  delay.

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  Delano  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." 

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

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.

"It  is  very  appropriate  at  this  moment  when  radio  has  taken  the 
country  by  storm,  and  aroused  an  enthusiasm  never  before  equalled,  that 
the  possibilities  for  boys  in  this  art  should  be  brought  out  in  the  interesting

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

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. 

Charles  E.  Butler, 

Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trade  of  the 
American  Booksellers'  Assbciation, 
225  Fifth  Avenue,  New  York. 


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 


11 62 


Tlic  Publisficrs'  lVeckl\ 


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 


w.    H. 


The    fouiuler    of    the    English    firm    of    newsagents 

.'nd    hooksellers,    W.    H.    Smith    &    Son.      Mr.    Smitli 

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." 

"Stick    close    to    your    desks    and    never    go   to    sea 

And  yon  all  may  be  rulers  of  the  Queen's  Navvie." 


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

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-

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 


April  22,  1922

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. 
Way  of  Revelation.     Ewart. 
Mother  of  .Mi-Living.     Kea;l)lc. 

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

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.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


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,

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

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

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

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-

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

ume"  of  Scripture  selections  for  the  blind, 
according  to  the  New  York  Evening  Post. 
The  pages  are  7  by  13  inches,  and  the  vol-

comes  in  from  11  to  58  volumes.

THE  STATE  OF  BOOK  MANUFACTURE 

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, 
Manufacturing  Department, 
The  Methodist  Book  Concern. 

IT'S   NOT  A  NEW  TRICK 

April  13,  1922. 
Editor,  Publishers'  Weekly: 

The  bible  swindle  you  describe  in  your  April 
8th  issue  is  a  most  interesting  and  ingenious 
<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, 
Arnold  W.  Rosenthal.

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.

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.

GENTLE  JULIA 

By  BOOTH  TARKINGTON 

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.

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  GUIDE  TO 

MEN 

BEING    ENCORE    REFLECTIONS 
OF  A  BACHELOR  GIRL 


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." 


Published  May  1st.  Printed  in  two  colors,  with  eight  full-page  illus-

FOUNDED  BY  F.  LEYPOLDT

"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

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. 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


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.

From  Theater  to  Bookstore    . 

A  New  Rare  Book  Dealer  and  His  First  Catalog 


A  FEW  days  ago  the  letter-carriers  of  this 
city  in  their  first  delivery  distributed 
a  "Catalogue  of  One  Hundred  Rare 
Books  and  Autographs"  that  came  as  near  giv- 
ing a  real  sensation  as  we  ever  get  in  this  section 
of  the  rare  book  world.  In  very  short  order  col- 
lectors and  dealers  were  telephoning  to  each 
other,  discussing  the  news,  and  before  the  day 
was  over  the  conclusion  had  been  pretty  gener- 
ally reached  that  a  new  dealer  had  entered  the 
rare  book  field  that  was  sure  to  be  heard  from. 

The  simple  fact  was  that  Harry  B.  Smith, 
the  well-known  dramatic  critic,  author  and  col- 
lector, had  issued  his  first  catalog  bearing  in  a 
foreword  the  announcement  "to  bibliophiles, 
bibliopoles,  ibibliotaphs,  aiid  readers  that  he  was 
engaged  in  the  old  book  business,  selling  di- 
rectly to  (the  consumer  instead  of,  as  hereto- 
fore, thru  the  medium  of  the  theater  box-office" 
and  stating  that  "collectors  making  known 
their  requirement  of  special  volumes  may  de- 
pend upon  diligent  search  and  prompt  report. 
Book  ibuyersi  desiring  representation  at  auction 
sales  in  New'  York  and  London  are  assured  of 
expert  and  reliable  service"  and  further  that 
"catalogs  are  in  preparation  devoted  to  special 
subjects,  including:  Napoleon  and  the  French 
Revolution,  Shakeispeare  and  the  drama,  extra- 
illustrated  volumes,  French  literature,  and  a 
more  extensive  selection  of  first  editions  and 
autographs."  The  meaning  of  this  announce- 
ment was  lunmistakable ;  coming  from  Harry 
B.  Smith  it  sure  meant  business — a  new  live 
factor  in  the  rare  .booik  trade  of  America. 

The  catalog  makes  it  easy  to  visualize  what 
is  coming.  It  is  an  octavo,  green  covers  with 
a  border  from  the  original  wrappers  of  "Pick- 
wick Papers,"  54  pages,  printed  in  large  type 
by  the  DeVinne  Press.  Its  one-hundred  books 
and  autographs  have  ^  value  of  about  $35,000 
and  are  representative  of  the  great  English 
authors  of  the  nineteenth  century,  mainly  of 
the  Victorian  period,  ranging  in  value  from 
$35  to  $4,500  per  lot. 

The  star  item  is  unmistakably  Charles 
Dickens's  "Note-Book,"  a  crown  8vo,  used  by 
the  great  novelist  for  memoranda  for  his  writ- 
ings, original  cloth,  in  a  levant  morocco  case. 
The  importance  of  this  volume  may  be  judged 
from  the  fact  that  in  Forster's  "Life  of 
Dickens"  an  entire  chapter  of  twenty-two  pages 
is  devoted  to  description  of  its  contents.  In 
it  were  put  down  hints  and  suggestions  of  every 
conceivable  kind  without  order  or  sequence.  A 
mere  hit  of  imageiy  or  fancy  it  might  he  at 
one  time;  then  a  bit  of  description  or  dialog; 


titles  for  stories  and  names  for  characters ; 
some  odd  observation  or  peculiar  remark,  much 
of  which  was  drawn  from  in  his  stories,  and 
many  hints  for  stories  and  bodks  that  were 
never  written.  Mr.  Smith  summarizes  its  im- 
portance ver\'  efifecti!vely  when  he  says  that 
"until  Shakespeare's  note-book  appears  in  the 
auction  room,  and  we  are  permitted  to  see  how 
he  happened  to  think  of  Shylock  and  Falstaff 
one  may  venture  to  say  that  this  is  the  most 
interesting  volume  of  its  kind  in  existence." 
Other  lots  that  will  give  collectors  something 
to  think  about  are,  the  autograph  preface  to 
Lord  Byron's  first  book  afterwards  suppressed, 
and  also  his  autograph  account  of  swimming 
the  Hellespont;  trvvo  first  editions  of  Dickens's 
"Pickwick  Papers,"  one  in  the  original  wrap- 
pers, the  other  a  presentation  copy  from  the 
author  bound  in  morocco ;  Charles  Iamb's 
record  of  his  thoughts  and  adventures  among 
books,  a  thousand  pages  in  the  clerkly 
hand  of  the  great  essayist ;  the  manuscript  of 
Shelley's  earliest  known  poem,  unpublished  and 
heretofore  unknown,  and  many  others  only  a 
little  less  valuable. 

And  if  Mr.  Smith  shows  positive  genius  in 
selecting  hiis  one  hundred  lots  he  is  not  less 
masterful  in  his  cataloging.  O'f  course  he  has 
-been  a  collector  of  the  best  for  many  years 
and  is  a  scholar  with  a  trained  pen.  Fortunately 
he  has  not  heen  a  bookseller's  cataloger,  for  in- 
stead of  the  usual  stock  phraises  and  haphazard 
claims  we  have  bibliographical  notes,  precise 
and  comprehensive,  that  both  inform  and  de- 
right  the  reader.  Catalogers  cannot  afford  to 
miss  these  catalogs  for  they  are  well  worth 
careful  study.  One  may  safely  venture  the 
prophecy  that  here  is  a  medium  that  will  set 
a  new  pace  dn  bookselling. 

The  rare  book  trade  may  well  take  pride  in 
Mr.  Smith's  accession  to  their  ranks  at  this 
time.  He  is  a  scholar,  has  been  a  collector  of 
distinction,  is  well-known  to  dealers  on  both 
sides  of  the  Atlantic,  and  will  re-enforce  and 
istrengthen  the  enterprising,  reliable  and  con- 
servative forces  upon  which  book-collecting 
and  the  prosperity  of  the  rare  hook  trade  so 
largely  depends.  We  have  had  too  many 
greedy  adventurers  in  the  past;  we  are  not 
likely  to  have  too  many  booksellers  of  the  right 
kind.  Collectors  and  dealers  everyvy^here  will 
wish  Mr.  Smith  abundant  success.  Harry  B. 
Smith's  address  is  309  West  107th  Street,  New 
York  City,  Those  who  have  not  received  his 
catalog  will  find  it  well  worth  while  to  write 
for  it.

Thorvald  Solberg,  Register  of  Copyrights 


THORVALD  SOLBERG,  Register  of 
Copyrights,  reached  his  seventieth  birthday 
on  April  22nd,  and  with  June  30th  com- 
pletes his  quarter  century  as  Register  of  Copy- 
rights. Under  the  retirement  law  he  w^ould 
automatically  be  retired,  hut  the  provision  for 
exceptional  men,  which  ought  to  be  general 
thruout  the  federal  service,  permits  his  con- 
tinuance in  the  office  he  so  ably  and  entirely 
fills.  The  Librarian  of  Congress  in  fact 
testifies  that,  with  his  still  youthful  vigor  of 
mind  and  body,  his  experience  makes  him  more 
valuable  than  ever.  His  relations  with  the 
national  library  indeed  cover  more  than  a  third 
of  a  century,  for  at  an  earlier  period  he  was 
for  thirteen  years  on  the  staff  of  Librarian 
SpofiFord,  making  a  record  of  thirty-eight  years 
in  all. 

Mr.  Solberg  was  born  in  1852  in  Manitowoc, 
Wisconsin,  and  joined  the  staff  of  the  Library 
of  Congress  in  1876.  For  several  years  he 
was  detailed  to  the  law  division  of  the  Library, 
which  gave  him  a  thoro  knowledge  of  legal 
literature,  and  his  work  there  brought  him 
recognition  and  appreciation  from  all  who  had 
occasion  to  call  for  his  assistance  in  their 
researches.  Much  of  his  leisure  was  given  to 
the  compilation  of  bibliographies,  not  mere 
booklists  but  based  on  systematic  and  first- 
hand work.  He  also  contributed  articles  to 
various  American  and   foreign  journals. 

As  a  member  of  the  American  Library  Asso- 
ciation, he  was  a  regular  attendant  at  annual 
conventions,  and  in  1889  resigned  his  position 
in  the  library  to  become  manager  of  the 
library  department  of  the  Boston  Book  Com- 
pany under  Charles  C.  Soule.  During  the  suc- 
ceeding eight  years  he  spent  a  great  deal  of 
his  time  abroad  visiting  the  principal  Eu- 
ropean cities  and  towns  ransacking  with  marked 
success  the  second-hand  bookstores  in  search 
of  publications  of  learned  societies,  periodicals 
and  rare  law  books.  During  this  time  he  spent 
three  years  (1893-1896)  in  much  needed  rest 
in  the  Balearic  Islands.  The  following  memo- 
randum given  him  by  Mr  Soule  is  equally 
a  tribute  to  employer  and  employed : 

Instructions     to     Mr.     Solberg    for    .English 
Trip  of    1891 

Keep  fresh  and  vigorous  by  never  working  too 
long   or   too    late   without    rest    and    recreation. 

Always  take  plenty  of  time  for  meals;  and  get 
good   nourishing   meals    at    regular  hours. 

Try  not  to  schedule  your  trips,  or  to  visit  so 
many  places  in  one  day,  as  to  work  under  pressure. 
Take  things  as   easily  as   possible! 

Always  take  cabs  where  it  will  save  fatigue  or 
time,  regardless  of   expense. 

Get  back  to  Mrs.   Solberg  as  often  as  possible. 

Never  work  Sunday!  Do  not  work  Saturdays  ex- 
cept in  writing  letters;  and  do  as  little  of  that  as 
possible. 


If  you  get  tired  or  harassed,  take  two  or  three 
days  off  with  Mrs.  Solberg,  without  thought  of 
business. 

Remember  that  all  this  is  absolutely  necessary 
not  only  in  justice  to  yourself,  but  as  a  matter 
of  duty  to  the  Boston  Book  Company,  which  is 
more  concerned  about  having  your  efficient  and 
vigorous  services  in  the  future;  than  in  getting 
extra   work   out   of   you   now. 

Mrs.  Solberg  is  charged  with  the  execution  of 
these    instructions. 

CHARLES  C.  SOULE, 
President   Boston    Book    Co. 

In  1897  he  was  appointed  Register  of  Copy- 
rights to  succeed  John  Russell  Young,  then 
Librarian  of  Congress,  and  came  to  this  im- 
portant position  well  equipped  for  the  work, 
having  been  interested  in  copyright  legislation 
long  before  his  appointment.  During  his 
residence   abroad   he   had    attended    two    inter- 


THORVALD    SOLBERG 

national  copyright  conferences,  at  Barcelona  in 
1893,  and  at  Antwerp  in  1894.  He  undertook 
the  task  of  organizing  the  Copyright  Office 
from  the  foundation;  and  his  aflmjrahle  plan- 
ning has  systematized  the  work  so  that  the 
growing  records  could  be  kept  up-to-date.  In 
addition  to  his  administration  of  the  Copy- 
right  Office   his   efficient   and   intelligent   work

for  improvement  of  copyright  legislation  de- 
serves full  recognition.  Many  circulars  and 
pamphlets  were  prepared  and  distributed  in 
response  to  requests  for  information  covering 
the  whole  field  of  copyright  procedure.  His 
annual  reports  and  a  dozen  or  more  books  and 
pamphlets  on  copyright  are  valuable  contribu- 
tions to  the  history  and  present  status  of  copy- 
right legislation.  Among  other  books  may  be 
mentioned  ''Copyright  in  England,"  "Foreign 
Copyright  Laws,"  "A  Bibliography  and 
Chronological  Record,"  etc.  He  took  an  active 
part  in  securing  international  copyright  and 
attended  as  official  delegate  from  the  United 
States  conventions  at  Paris  in  1900,  Berlin  'in 
1908,  Luxembourg  in  1910.  His  work  has 
long  placed  him  as  a.  foremost  authority  on  all 
questions  relating  to  copyright.  Of  his  per- 
sonal characteristics  one  of  his  closest  asso- 
ciates for  many  years,  David  Hutcheson,  of 
the  Library  of  Congress,  writes: 

"My  acquaintance  with  Mr.  Solberg  began 
when  he  came  to  the  Library  in  1876.  He 
came  with  the  qualifications  which  go  with  the 


making  of  a  good  librarian,  a  wide  knowledge 
of  literature,  fine  executive  ability  and  a  never 
failing  desire  to  help  those  who  came  for  in- 
formation. Our  outlook  on  life,  love  of  books 
and  similar  tastes  drew  us  together  in  constant 
intercourse,  and  our  love  of  nature  led  to  many 
long  rambles  in  the  picturesque  country  around 
Washington.  As  a  citizen  of  Was'hington  he 
has  always  given  support  to  any  movement  for 
bettering  the  city.  His  friends  know  that  he 
has  suggested  some  original  and  striking  im- 
provements, and  his  proposals  are  always  of 
practical  character.  Altruistic  in  thoughts  and 
activities,  he  has  given  support  to  any  move- 
ment for  the  amelioration  of  the  conditions 
of  life.  His  high  character,  executive  ability, 
swift  and  clear  perception  of  how  to  accom- 
plish the  desired  end,  untiring  ability  for  work 
in  hand  have  been  characteristics  of  his  career. 
Happily,  all  thru  his  life,  recognition  of  his 
good,  qualities  has  come  from  those  who  have 
known  him  and  who  would  gladly  come  forth 
to  honor  him  publicly  and  express  their  ap- 
preciation." 


The  Rise  in  Value  of  the  Four  FoHos 
of  Shakespeare 


ON  next  Friday  afternoon.  May  5th,  the 
First,  Second,  Third  and  Fourth  Folios 
of  Shakespeare— the  Second  and  Third 
from  the  famous  library  of  Robert  Hoe— will 
be  sold  at  the  Anderson  Galleries.  On  May 
16  the  famous  Daniel  copy  of  the  First  Folio, 
one  of  the  finest  in  existence  and  owned  by  the 
late  Baroness  Burdett-Coutts  since  1864,  will 
be  sold  at  Sotheby's  in  London.  These  events 
in  the  rare  Iwok  world  are  just  now  of  ab- 
sorbing intereist  to  collectors  of  the  Elizabethan 
period,  and  the  world  at  large,  too,  for  the 
rise  in  value  of  the  folios  of  Shakespeare 
makes  one  of  the  most  interesting  chapters  in 
the  annal'S  of  book  collecting. 

Book  collectors  the  world  over  are  agreed 
that  the  First  Folio  of  Shakespeare  is  a  most 
precious  literary  monument.  Altho  abound- 
ing in  typographical  errors  it  is  incomparably 
the  best  of  the  folios.  It  contains  no  less  than 
twenty  plays  of  which  we  have  no  earlier  text 
and  which  might  have  been  hopelessly  lost  had 
it  not  been  for  the  poet's  old  comrades  of  the 
Globe  Theater. 

Beloe  in  his  "Anecdotes"  of  1807  said:  "Per- 
haps there  its  no  book  which  has  so  risen  in 
value  as  the  first  edition  (First  Folio,  1623) 
of  the  works  of  our  great  national  poet.  I 
can  rememtrer  a  very  fine  copy  to  have  been 
sold  for  five  guineas."  There  are  records  of 
the  period  that  corroborate  Beloe.  The 
Cracherode  copy  in  the  British  Museum,  one 


of  the  lew  really  fine  copies,  has  the  price 
i8  i8s.  6d  marked  in  it.  Richard  Wright's  copy 
sold  in  1787  ibrought  iio,  and  Thomas  Allen's 
in  1799,  18  guineas.  Prices  during  the  first 
half  of  the  nineteenth  century  steadily  ad- 
vanced until  one  of  the  greatest  sensations  in 
bibliographical  annals  came  with  the  Daniel 
sale  in  1864  when  the  Baroness  Burdett-Coutts 
paid  £712.  2s.  for  a  copy.  The  sale  of  no  book 
before  this  date  ever  received  so  much  com- 
ment and  ithe  consensus  of  opinion  was  that  it 
was  a  very  "crazy"  price,  due  partly  to  its 
superb  height,  fine  margins,  bright  and  clean 
pages,  and  particularly  for  its  good  luak  in 
having  been  sold  during  the  tercentenary-  of 
the  poef's  birth  and  at  a  time  when  a  wealthy 
collector  was  over  anxious  to  own  it.  The 
London  Times  in  commenting  upon  the  high 
price  predicted  that  "the  day  will  come — (may 
it  be  long  first — when  our  children's  children 
will  'hear  that  it  has  sold  for  ten>  times  that 
sum."  It  is  more  than  half  a  century  since 
this  prediction  was  made  but  it  is  still  fre- 
quently quoted,  and  many  collectors  will  have 
it  in  mind  on  the  morning  of  May  17  when 
they  read  their  newspaper  and  look  for  the 
price  that  the  Daniel  First  Folio  has  brought. 
It  was  some  years  before  the  record  of  1864 
was  passed.  In  the  Brayton  Ives  sale,  in  1891, 
the  copy  now  owned  by  W.  A.  White  of  Brook- 
lyn brought  $4,200,  and  prices  have  rapidly 
advanced   since  then.     At  Christie's  in  London 


rlpril  29,  192. 


[225 


ill  July,  1899,  the  record  reached  £1,700;  two 
years  later  in  the  same  auction  rooms  £1,720; 
and  in  March,  1907,  at  the  Van  Antwerp's  sale 
£3,600.  And  now  it  appears  quite  possible  that 
the  prophecy  of  the  London  Times  may  be  ful- 
filled this  season. 

The  Second  Folio,  1632,  iis  a  reprint  and  has 
always  lagged  far  (behind  the  First  Folio  and 
prior  to  the  Daniel  sale  seldom  brought  more 
than  £10.  An  anecdote  is  told  of  an  association 
copy  that  throws  light  upon  the  prices  of  the 
time  and  incidentally  shows  what  a  poor 
prophet  even  sc  famous  a  bibliographer  as  Dib- 
din  couild  be.  One  of  the  most  interesting 
copies  in  existence  is  now  in  the  King's  Library 
in  London.  It  was  bought  by  Anthony  Askew 
in  1755  for  £2  I2S.  6d.  At  Askew's  sale  in  1775 
George  Steevens  paid  £5  los.  for  it,  an  amount 
he  declared  to  be  "enormous."  At  Steevens'is 
sale  in  1800  it  was  bought  by  iGreorge  III  who 
paid  18  guineas  for  it.  It  formerly  belonged  to 
Charles  I,  who  wrote  in  it  "Dum  spiro,  spero, 
C.  R."  The  king,  on  the  night  of  his  execution, 
presented  it  to  Sir  Thomas  Herbert,  who  had 
written,  "Ex  dono  serenissimi  Regis  Car.  Servo 
suo  Humili.  T  Herbert."  Steevens  mistook 
the  identity  of  this  Herbert  and  wrote,  "Sir 
Thomas  Herbert  was  Master  of  the  Revels  to 
King  Charles  the  First."  'George  III  wrote 
beneath  Steeven's  note  "This  is  a  mistake  he 
(Sir  Thomas  Flerbert)  having  been  groom  of 
the  Bed  Oiamber  to  King  Charles  I  but  Sir 
Hcnr>'  Herbert  was  master  of  the  Revels." 
Dibdin,  seemingly  surprised  at  what  seemed  a 
very  high  price  notwithstanding  the  very  great 
association  interest  of  the  volume,  wrote  very 
firmly  "£i8  i8s.,  the  largest  sum  ever  given 
or  likely  to  be  given  for  this  book."  A  little 
nifire  than  a  half  century  later  the  Daniel  copy 
l)rought  £148  ancl  at  Sotheby's  in  1902,  £615, 
and  two  years  later,  £850. 

The  Third  Folio,  1663,  was  said  to  have  been 
partially  destroyed  by  the  Great  Fire  of  Lon- 
don. Nevertheless  the  edition  sold  slowly  al- 
tho  a  second  issue,  with  seven  additional  plays 
and  a  new  title-page,  bearing  the  date  1664 
followed.  This  edition  has  always  been  scarcer 
than  the  second  and  next  to  the  first  in  value. 
Prior  to  1864,  it  had  frequently  sold  for  £20 
or  less,  but  at  the  Daniel  sale  it  brought  £46; 
at  the  Ives  sale  in  1891,  £950;  the  Hoe  sale  in 
191 1,  £3,200;  the  Hagen  -sale  in  1918,  $5.9^0; 
aixi  at  the  Christie  Miller  sale  in  1919,  £2,400. 

The  Fourth  Folio.  1685,  Dibdin  declared  "had 
little  to  recommend  it  on  the  score  of  rarity 
or  intrinsic  worth."  In  the  middle  of  the  last 
century  it  was  frequently  bought  for  a  few 
pounds  and  tmtil  recent  years  it  has  brought 
l)Ut  comparatively  little.  A  copy  at  the  Ives 
sale  in  1891  sold  for  $210;  the  Hibbert  sale  in 
1002,  $118;  the  Hoe  sale  in  1911,  $75o:  and  at 
the  Robinson   sale   in    1919,  $910. 


The  four  folios  have  occasionally  been  sold 
en  bloc,  or  separately  at  the  same  time.  Henry 
Stevens,  in  his  "Recollections  of  James  Lenox" 
said  that  in  December,  1855,  he  offered  Mr. 
Lenox  "in  a  lump  forty  quartos,  all  in  good 
condition,  some  of  them  very  fine,  for  £500,  or 
including  a  fair  set  of  the  four  folios  for  £600. 
The  offer  was  accepted,  he  becoming  at  one 
step  the  possessor  of  perhaps  the  finest  Shake- 
spearean collection  in  private  hands."  Nine 
years  later  the  four  folios  sold  separately  in 
the  Daniel  sale  realized  £925  2s.  In  the  Hoe 
sale  in  1911  they  sold  for  $18,300.  In  1918  a 
set  in  this  city  at  auction  brought  $28,500. 
Some  years  ago  The  Rosenbach  Company  of- 
fered a  set  in  its  catalog  for  $38,000.  It  is 
generally  understood  that  the  late  J.  Pierpont 
Morgan  paid  $40,000  for  a  set  akho  this  figure 
was  never  confirmed  for  publication.  Three 
years  ago  The  Rosenbach  Company  sold  the 
Marsden  J.  Perry  set  to  Joseph  A  Widener,  of 
Philadelphia,  for  $75,000,  which  is  still  the 
record  price  and  will  probably  remain  so  for 
a  long  time  as  it  was  one  of  the  finest  sets  in 
private  hands  and  the  competition  for  it  was 
very  keen. 

In  the  last  half  century  many  copies  of  all 
of  the  foliots  have  been  permanently  withdrawn 
from  private  ownership  by  passing  into  the 
possession  of  the  great  public  and  university 
libraries  of  this  country  and  England.  The 
consequent  growing  scarcity,  the  increasing  de- 
mand for  them,  the  advance  in  the  value  of 
rare  books,  taken  altogether  must  inevitably 
force  prices  gradually  upward,  but  it  would 
be  a  rash  man,  indeed,  who  would  undertake 
to  predict  what  a  fine  set  of  the  four  folios 
would  bring  a  half  century  hence. 


Retail  Chain  Store  Margin 

AMONG  the  interesting  reports  of  1921 
business  figures  is  that  of  the  United  Drug 
Company,  which  finished  1921  with  gross  sales 
of  $60,000,000  as  compared  with  $68,000,000 
the  year  before.  In  1920  there  was  a  gross  re- 
tail profit  of  33.2%.  In  1921  this  had  shrunk 
to  31.5%.  In  this  drop  was  wiped  out  the 
margin  of  profit  that  made  the  difference  be- 
tween a  good  year  and  a  bad  year. 
,  The  operating  expenses  in  1920  were  just 
below  25%  and  in  1921  just  above  that  figure. 
There  is  a  common  stock  of  $30,000,000,  show- 
ing that  gross  sales  are  about  double  the  stock 
invested.  The  rental  problem  in  the  chain  drug 
stores  is  very  different  from  that  of  the  gen- 
eral bookstores.  The  most  expensive  comers 
are  taken,  but,  as  the  stores  are  open  seven 
days  a  week  and  long  hours  each  day,  the  cost 
per  hour  is  not  more  than  in  other  locations 
used   for  a  shorter  period.

How  Maps  and  Atlases  are  Made 


By  Alfred  Sidney  Johnson,  Ph.D. 

Map  Department,  Rand  McNally  &  Co.,  Chicago, 
PART    IV 


SMALL  maps,  such  as  are  ordinarily  found 
in  atlases  and  other  works  of  reference, 
are  usually  printed  directly  from  metal 
plates.  These  plates,  in  most  cases,  are  elec- 
trotype reproductions,  either  of  etchings  made 
with  the  aid  of  photography  from  the  original 
drawings,  or  of  hand-engraved  plates  made  by 
the  wax-engraving  process  or  some  other 
method. 

Map  Engraving   and   Printing 

When  colors  are  imprinted,  each  of  the 
primary  col'ofs  requires  a  separate  plate  and  a 
separate  impression.  Dififerent  shades  of  the 
same  color  are  produced  by  hatching  with  par- 
allel or  cross  lines  the  solid  ground  of  the  color 
block;  and  intermediate  tints  of  the  prism  may 
be  obtained  by  superimposing  one  primary  color 
upon  another  (as  yellow  on  blue  to  give  green). 

Withiil  certain  limits  of  size,  larger  maps  (or 
separate  sections  to  be  joined  later  to  make  up 
very  large  maps)  may  be  similarly  printed.  In 
some  cases,  maps  or  map  sections  are  printed 
by  direct  photographic  reproduction  at  the  de- 
sired scale,  on  sensitized  sheets. 

Very  frequently,  however,  in  the  case  of  the 
larger-sized  maps  and  charts,  the  printing  is 
done  by  one  or  another  of  a  variety  of  special 
processes  combining  the  arts  of  photography 
(for  reproduction  of  lines  and  lettering)  and 
of  themical  etching  (to  give  depth  to  those 
portions  of  the  plate  surface  of  which  no  im- 
pression is  desired).  A  prevalent  practice  is 
to  make  the  print  indirectly  from  the  plate 
by  what  is  known  as  offset  work,  the  ink  from 
the  plate  being  first  impressed  upon  a  rul)ber 
blanket  on  the  roller  of  the  press,  and  from  this 
set  off  or  transferred  to  the  paper,  which  never 
comes  in  direct  contact  with  the  plate.  The 
offset  process  gives  remarkable  clearness  and 
smoothness  <>f  impression,  avoiding  broken  lines 
and  distortion  of  the  sheets. 

The   Lithographic   Process 

The  lithographic  process  is  now  very  exten- 
sively, used  in  printing  maps  and  charts,  es- 
pecially the  larger  ones.  Originally  as  the 
name  signifies  (from  the  'Greek  "lithos,"  a 
stone),  all  lithographs  were  printed  from  de- 
signs engraved  or  drawn  on  stone — a  kind  of 
stone  ihaving  the  property  of  absorbing  greasy 
ink.  The  process  is  based  on  the  fact  that 
water  and  grease  will  not  mix.  The  lines  of 
the  design  (reversed,  if  for  direct  printing; 
positive,  if  the  printing  is  to  be  by  offset)  are 


laid  down  on  or  transferred  to  the  stone,  in  a 
greasy  ink;  and  the  rest  of  the  stone  surface 
is  kept  constantly  damp.  The  ink  roller  of  the 
press  carries  the  same  greasy  ink  as  that  used 
in  the  design.  As  it  passes  over  the  stone,  the 
ink  from  the  roller  adheres  only  to  the  lines  of 
the  design,  being  rejected  by  the  water-damp- 
ened surface.  The  stone,  in  fact,  becomes  a 
type- face  plate  imprinting  the  design  upon  a 
sheet  pressed  down  upon  it;  and  it  must  be 
re-dampened  and  re-^inked  for  each  impression. 
When  offset  wonk  is  combined  with  lithographic 
printing— a  very  common  practice — the  paper 
never  touches  the  stone  or  plate,  but  takes 
the  imprint  by  transfer  from  the  reversed  im- 
pression stamped  directly  on  the  rubber  blanket 
around  the  press  roller. 

In  lithographic  printing,  stones  have  now 
very  largely  been  supplanted  by  the  use  of  zinc 
or  better  still  aluminum  plates  with  specially 
prepared  surfaces,  which  have  much  the  same 
property  of  absorbing  greasy  ink.  Such  plates 
are  less  costly,  less  fragile,  less  cumbersome 
than  stones;  and  they  can  be  curved  for  use 
on  rotary  presses,  giving  much  greater  speed 
in  printing  and  also  having  a  much  longer 
life. 

Wax  Engraving 

Wax  engraving  is  a  most  interesting  process 
of  making  map  plates.  The  burnished  surface 
of  a  metal  plate  (usually  copper)  is  evenly 
covered  with  a  thin  coating,  of  a  wax  com- 
pbsition.  On  the  wax  surface,  a  reproduction 
of  the  original  drawing  is  laid  down.  This 
may  be  done  in  various  ways.  One  method  is 
to  coat  the  wax  surface  with  a  sensitized  solu- 
tion, and  photograph  the  design  upon  it,  either 
at  same  size  or  enlarged  or  reduced  as  may  be 
necessary.  If  the  original  drawing  is  of  the 
exact  size  desired  for  the  map,  it  can  be  re- 
produced by  smearing  the  back  of  the  drawing 
with  colored  chalk,  and  laying  this  down  flat 
against  the  wax,  when  the  entire  design  or 
any  desired  part  of  it  can  be  traced  on  the  wax 
surface  by  running  over  the  lines  of  the  print 
lightly  with  a  pencil  or  stylus.  If  a  zinc  etch- 
ing or  other  photo-engraved  cut  of  the  de- 
sired maip  size  has  been  made  from  the  original,- 
a  tracing  of  a  print  from  this  cut  may  be  made 
in  the  manner  just  described;  or  instead  of 
this,  an  ink  impression  (positive)  from  the  cut 
may  be  taken  on  the  rubber  blanket  of  an  offset 
press  roller,  and,  while  the  ink  is  still  wet,  off-

set  (reversed,  or  as  a  negative)  on  a  sheet  of 
paper,  from  which,  by  gentle  pressing,  it  can 
be  immediately  transferred  as  a  positive  to  the 
wax  surface,  with  sufficient  clearness  for  the 
succeeding  steps  in  the  work. 

With  fine,  chisel-pointed  tools,  the  engraver 
now  cuts  away  the  wax  along  the  lines  of  the 
design,  clear  thru  to  the  copper  plate.  During 
this  operation,  the  plate  is  kept  just  warm 
enough  to  soften  the  wax  slightly  and  render 
it  easily  workable  and  not  liable  to  flaking. 
Conventional  symbols,  such  as  little  circles  for 
railroad  stations,  stars  for  capital  cities,  etc., 
are  stamped  in  by  means  of  metal  dies.  For 
insertion  of  names  of  towns,  rivers,  etc,  metal 
type,  set  up  in  a  holder  somewhat  like  a 
printer's  "stick,"  is  used,  being  first  dipped  in 
water  to  prevent  adhesion  of  the  wax,  and 
then  pressed  firmly  down  thru  the  wax  till  the 
copper  plate  is  exposed. 

After  all  desired  detail  has  been  "engraved" 
in  this  way,  the  plate  is  "built-up"  to  give 
further  relief  to  the  engraving.  This  is  done 
by  dropping  melted  wax  upon  those  parts  of 
the  wax  surface  that  have  escatped  the  engrav- 
ing tools 

After  building-up,  the  plate  is  used  as  a 
matrix  or  mold  from  which  an  electrotype 
can  be  made  directly  for  final  mounting  on  the 
printing  press. 

Making    Corrections  and  Insertions 

The  wax  process  may  be  used  for  making 
desired  alterations  in  map  plates.  Suppose, 
for  example,  that  we  wish  to  add  the  name  of 
a  newly  created  postoffice,  to  correct  a  mis- 
spelled name,  or  to  cut  out  an  abandoned  rail- 
road branch  line.  A  print  taf  the  map  is  smeared 
on  its  back  with  colored  chalk ;  and  all  details 
shown  on  the  map  wdthin  a  small  area  around 
the  locality  where  the  change  is  to  be  made 
are  then  traced  on  the  wax  surface  in  the  man- 
ner already  described.  A  ring  surrounding  the 
locality  is  then  cut  from  the  printed  sheet,  and 
pasted  on  the  wax  plate  So  that  the  lines  on  the 
paper  join  up  with  those  traced  on  the  wax 
surface.  All  desired  details  within  the  area 
surrounded  by  the  paper  ring  can  then  be  en-- 
graved  or  stamped  thru  the  wax  to  the  copper, 
A  number  of  such  alterations  may  be  scattered 
over  the  same  plate.  An  electrotype  is  then 
made  in  the  usual  way.  From  it,  little  pieces 
embodying  the  changes  are  sawed  out,  to  serve 
as  patches;  and  these  are  soldered  into  their 
respective  places,  in  holes  cut  in  the  original 
plates,  so  that  all  details  are  made  to  join  up 
accurately. 

A  surprising  number  of  such  alterations  are 
constantly  necessary  in  the  regular  course  of 
way  and  steamer  lines,  etc,  are  created.  Towns 
work.  New  countries,  new  postoffices,  new  rail- 
grow  or   fall-off  in  population,  requiring  dif- 


ferent symbols  or  different-sized  type  to  indi- 
cate the  fact.  Rivers  gouge  out  new  channels ; 
the  relative  land  and  water  areas  of  our  own 
states  vary  with  the  development  of  irrigation 
and  drainage  projects.  Even  where  our  senses 
apparently  reveal  only  immobility,  we  have  to 
recognize  the  fact  of  movement,  activity,  and 
incessant  change.  It  has  not  required  the  rest- 
less flux  of  the  present  post-war  years  to  im- 
press the  truth  proclaimed  by  the  old  Greek 
Heraclitus,  some  24  centuries  ago,  that  "all 
things  flow,"  The  task  of  keeping  maps  up-to- 
date  is  one  that  never  ends. 

In  the  Atlas  Editorial  Room 

Inasmuch  as  all  information  likely  to  be  of 
permanent  value  for  reference  purposes  is  pos- 
sible grist  for  the  atlas  mill,  a  familiarity  with 
the  sources  of  such  information  is  one  of  the 
prime  requirements  in  the  atlas  compiler  and 
editor.  It  lis  not  absolutely  necessary  that  he  be 
a  glbbe-trotter,  any  more  than  it  is  necessary 
for  the  author  of  a  work  on  the  principles  of 
reinforced  concrete  design  to  have  actually  "put 
in  time"  handling  structural  steel  on  the  job. 
In  order  to  summarize  intelligently  and  ac- 
curately the  important  facts  concerning  the 
island  of  Yap,  one  does  not  have  to  take  a 
trip  to  that  political  nerve-center  of  the  far 
Pacific.  In  many  instances  the  actual  globe- 
trotter is  an  illustration  of  the  "cash  and  not 
carry"  system  of  doing  business,  for,  all  too 
often,  he  faiils  to  take  a  basket  with  him  in 
which  to  bring  back  anything  worth  while. 
It  is,  nevertheless,  true  that,  to  those  of  the 
special  equipment  of  mentality  best  adapted  to  at- 
las work,  travel  is  a  great  additional  advantage. 
Setting  foot  on  the  soil  of  a  foreign  country, 
breathing  its  air,  and  moving  about  with  his 
eyes  open  among  its  people,  have  a  subtle  effect 
in  broadening  his  grasp  and  comprehension 
of  facts,  increasing  his  range  of  memory,  un- 
consciously illuminating  his  style  of  expression, 
and  adding  weight  to  every  utterance  of  tongue 
or  pen. 

Sources  of  Information 

Next  best  to  knowing  a  thing  one's  self, 
is  to  know  where  one  can  find  out  about  it. 
Now,  all  civilized  countries  recognize  that  it  is 
part  of  the  duty  of  government  to  gather  im- 
portant statistics  and  preserve  valuable  records. 
The  same  is  true  of  the  smaller  political  units — 
states,  provinces,  cities,  etc — and  even  of  semi- 
public  institutions,  such  as  large  banks  and  in- 
dustrial corporations.  There  are,  accordingly, 
many  "official"  sources  of  information  available 
in  the  shape  of  bulletins,  reports,  etc  A  fre- 
quent trouble  with  these  data,  however,  is  that 
by  the  time  they  reach  the  atlas -maker,  they 
are  too  old  for  his  use,  since  later  developments 
have  altered  the  face  of  things.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Supplementing  these  public  and  semi-public 
sources  of  information,  there  are  privately  or- 
.ganized  machineries  which  can  be  depended 
iupon  for  many  of  the  important  facts  of  "cur- 
rent history."  Very  often,  again,  material  of 
greatest  value  is  found,  in  the  shape  of  isolated 
sentences  or  paragraphs  promiscuously  scat- 
tered thru  the  text  of  correspondence,  magazine 
articles,  etc.,  and  buried  in  masses  of  irrelevant 
material  whence  nothing  but  prompt  rescue  is 
likely  to  save  it  from  being  irrevocably  lost. 
Such  material,  of  course,  can  be  obtained  only 
by  careful  and  systematic  search;  and  here,  as 
in  all  other  lines  of  practical  endeavor,  expe- 
rience is  the  great  teacher.  In  the  last  resort, 
the  compiler  must  rely  on  a  sort  of  natural 
instinct  that  enables  him  to  pick  up  the  right 
trail. 

The  Geographic  Spirit 

Some  people  are  still  walking  about,  who 
think  that  the  compilation  of  an  atlas,  out- 
side map-making,  consists  in  simply  stringing 
facts  together  like  onions  on  a  stiak — a  sort  of 
parrot-like  copying  of  something  someone  else 
has  written.  It  was  one  of  these  people  who 
once,  in  the  writer's  hearing,  made  the  remark : 
''The  man  who  can  sell  a  book  is  always 
worth  a  damned  sight  more  than  the  man  who 
wrote  it."  This  was  the  apotheosis  of  com- 
mercialism in  the  book  business.  If  all  men 
thought  like  this,  there  would  be  many  more 
suicide  graves  in  Potter's  Field.  The  natural 
booklover,  or  anyone  endowed  with  one  spark 
of  the  true  geographic  or  scientific  spirit,  knows 
differently. 

The  Ideal  Atlas  Maker 

Reproduction  of  facts  at  second  hand,  there 
must  of  course  be,  as  there  is  in  every  important 
book  that  was  ever  written;  but  to  compare 
facts,  to  perceive  their  relations  and  interpret 
their  bearings,  to  arrange  them  in  new  schemes 
of  presentment  for  specific  purposes — these  call 
for  something  a  little  higher  than  a  mere  re- 
ceptivity like  that  of  a  mirror.  The  ideal 
atlas-maker  must  have  something  of  the  faculty 
of  induction  as  well  as  deduction.  Realizing 
that  all  facts,  even  the  smallest,  are  but  the 
expression  of  broader  principles  that  transcend 
them,  he  should  to  some  extent  be  able  to 
glimpse,  if  not  actually  to  formulate,  those 
broader  laws  whose  understanding  illuminates 
the  facts,  and  without  whose  operation  the  facts 
themselves  would  in  reality  be  impossible.  He 
must  be,  too,  of  the  tribe  of  Job — a  patient 
soul  who  does  not  fret.  It  is  well,  also,  if  he 
be  not  infected  too  deeply  with  the  virus  of 
self-conceit.  And  withal,  he  need  not  be  devoid 
of  the  soft  touch  of  a  genuinely  human  sym- 
pathy. The  ideal  atlas  maker,  therefore,  is 
no  ordinary  person. 


There  is  one  thing,  however,  which  the  atlas 
editor  must  avt>id.  He  must  not  imagine  that 
by  taking  thought  he  can  add  one  cubit  to  the 
stature  of  the  earth  or  its  established  conven- 
tions. A  squirrel,  treading  the  rungs  of  his 
cage-wheel,  may  imagine  that  he  rocks  the 
world 'or  even  turns  it  upside  down.  N'ot  a 
few  writers,  addicted  to  similar  squirrel-cage 
ramblings  of  thought,  are  deluded  into  a  belief 
that  unto  them  are  committed  the  molding  of 
national  destinies,  the  untangling  of  interna- 
tional perplexities,  the  solution  of  all  world 
problems,  and  the  prescription  of  panaceas  for 
all  human  ills.  A  propensity  in  this  direction 
is  fatal  in  geographic  work. 

The  writing  and  editing  of  atlas  texts  is  thu^ 
the  very  antithesis  of  certain  types  of  jour- 
nalism. If  our  Labrador  Indian,  in  defining  the 
elements  of  wisdom,  had  supplemented  his 
"rectangular  co-ordinates"  with  a  knowledge  of 
the  inside  of  things,  he  would  have  added  per- 
haps the  supreme  req'uirement  of  qualification 
as  a  Stafif  Correspondent  of  the  Yellow  Rag. 

Literary    Prizes 

'T'HE  executive  committee  of  the  Poetry  So- 
*  ciety  of  America  announces  the  complete 
assembling  of  the  fund  for  its  annual  prize  offer 
of  $500  for  the  best  book  of  the  past  year. 
The  donors  are.  National  Arts  Club,  $250; 
Mrs.  Martha  Mosher,  $50;  Mns.  Elizabeth 
Montgomery,  $50;  Miles  M.  Dawson,  $50; 
Leonora  Speyer,  $100.  The  judges  will  be. 
chairman,  Professor  John  Erskine,  Columbia 
University,  N.  Y. ;  Mrs.  Elia  Peattie,  Tryon, 
North  Carolina;  and  Professor  John  G.  Nie- 
hardt,  Branson,  Mo. 

Columbia  University  is  offering  a  prize  of 
$500  for  the  best  book  of  poems  for  1921,  a 
prize  which  the  plea  of  the  Poetry  Society,  no 
doubt,  has  been  effective  in  adding  to  Colum- 
bia's yearly  awards  where  poetry  was  once 
entirely  ignored.  Alembers  of  the  Academy  of 
Arts  and  Letters  are  to  be  the  judges  for 
Columbia'is  prize.  It  will  be  interesting  to 
compare  the  decisions  of  the  two  committees 
judging  the  same  books. 

A  still  more  exciting  prize — one  open  to 
every  poet,  until  June  30,  is  the  offer  of  $1,000 
by  the  Clarke  Equipment  Company.  Buchanan. 
Michigan,  for  a  poem  on  "The  Spirit  of  Trans- 
portation," a  poem  showing  how  civilization 
has  kept  step  thru  the  ages  with  ways  and 
means  of  transportation.  Eminent  artists  of 
America  last  year  painted  for  this  company 
their  conceptions  of  the  various  ways  of 
"getting  there."  With  these  paintings  in  full 
color,  will  be  issued  the  forthcoming  prize 
poem.  The  judges  will  be  Glenn  Frank  of  the 
Century,  William  Stanley  Braithwaite.  and 
the  editors  of  four  business  magazines.

English  Publishers'  Annual 
Meeting 

AT  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Publishers' 
Association  of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland, 
on  March  30th,  Geoffrey  Williams  was  elected 
as  president  for  another  year ;  Humphrey  Mil- 
ford,  vice-president ;  and  C.  F.  Clay,  treasurer. 
The  President's  report  pointed  to  a  very  active 
season  with  expenditures  of  ^796,  an  increase 
of  i227  over  the  previous  year.  Among  other 
activities  has  been  the  discussion  on  Canadian 
Copyright  and  protest  on  its  form,  the  asso- 
ciation having  taken  issue  against  the  bill  which 
was  presented  by  the  Dominion  Government. 
There  has  also  been  an  effort  made  thru  the 
foreign  office  to  have  the  Chinese  Government 
amend  its  copyright  legislation  so  as  to  provide 
adequate  protection  for  foreign  owners.  The 
association  handles  for  Great  Britain  the  ques- 
tion of  who  shall  have  trade  terms,  endeavor- 
ing to  keep  the  booksellers'  interests  in  mind, 
and  committees  have  taken  aggressive  action 
in  answering  thru  the  press  comments  on  book 
prices  which  were  not  justified  by  the  condi- 
tions existing.  Protective  duties  on  paper  and 
gold  leaf  have  been  protested  against  as  likely 
to  increase  the  cost  of  book-making. 

Ninety-one  Years  a 
Book  Store 

DAVIS  L.  JAMES  has  just  announced  that 
the  business  heretofore  conducted  by  him 
in  Cincinnati  under  the  firm  name  of  U.  P. 
James,  Bookseller,  has  been  incorporated  as  the 
James  Book  Store  Co.  and  will  continue  its 
service  to  book  lovers  under  the  new  name. 

The  business,  first  started  in  1831  by  U.  P. 
James,  represents  one  of  the  oldest  and  best- 
known  concerns  of  the  Ohio  Valley.  For  a 
time  in  its  early  years  it  was  a  partnership 
affair  of  two  brothers  under  the  name  of  J.  A. 
and  U.  P.  James,  who  were  publishers,  book- 
sellers and  printers.  From  1853,  when  Joseph 
retired,  up  to  1889,  when  U.  P.  James  died,  the 
business  was  carried  on  by  the  one  indefatigable 
worker.  Since  that  time  his  son,  Davis  L. 
James,  has  continued  the  business  most  ably, 
provdng  without  a  doubt  that  a  father's  knowl- 
edge and  love  of  good  books  has  been  passed 
on  intact  to  the  son.  His  name  stands  among 
those  sixteen  prominent  members  of  the  pro- 
fession who  have  been  nominated  this  year  by 
the  American  Booksellers'  Association  for  in- 
clusion in  the  Honorary  Fellowship. 

The  directors  of  the  newly  incorporated  firm 
are  Davis  L.  James,  president ;  Davis  L.  James, 
Jr.,  vice-president  and  treasurer;  and  Olivia  W. 
James,   secretary. 


The  Travel  Show 

DURING  the  recent  Travel  Show  in  New 
York,  which  from  its  success  promises 
to  be  an  annual  occurrence,  the  management 
planned  that  there  should  be  publicity  for 
travel  books  to  take  the  form  of  a  vote  for  the 
best  travel  books.  In  order  to  make  it  easier  for 
l)eople  attending  the  show  to  cast  the  vote, 
it  was  decided  that  a  preliminary  ballot  of 
twenty-five  titles  should  be  made  up  from 
nominations  sent  in  from  all  over  the  coun- 
try. This  list  was  published  in  the  Publish- 
ers' Weekly  of  April  i.  This  list  of  twenty- 
five  was  presented  to  visitors  in  the  form  of  a 
ballot,  and  they  were  asked  to  designate  *he 
ten  titles  that  most  appealed  to  them.  This 
vote  brought  preeminence  to  the  following 
books  which  John  R.  Colter,  secretary  of  the 
exhibit,  has  designated  as  the  "Wanderlust 
Bookshelf"  : 

I.     Two  Years  Before  the  Mast.  By  Richard 
Henry    Dana. 

2.  Travels    With    A    Donkey.      By    Robert 

Louis  Stevenson. 

3.  Innocents  Abroad.     By  Mark  Twain. 

4.  How    I    Found    Livingston.      By    Henry 

M.  Stanley. 

5.  The    Oregon   Trail.     By    Francis    Park- 

man. 

6.  Mirror  of  the  Sea.     By  Joseph   Conrad. 

7.  A  Vagabond  Journey  Around  the  World. 

By  Harry  A.  Franck. 

8.  The  Purple  Land.    By  W.  H.  Hudson. 

9.  The  Travels  of  Marco  Polo  the  Venetian^ 
10.     South.    'By  Sir  Ernest  Shackleton. 

The  preeminence  of  Richard  Henry  Dana's 
book  is  most  interesting  as  having  been  writ- 
ten by  so  young  a  man  without  previous 
experience  in  the  field  described.  The  inter- 
est in  Robert  Louis  Stevenson  is  undoubtedly 
a  tribute  to  his  literary  art.  Mark  Twain 
would  deserve  his  prominence  from  continu- 
ing popularity.  The  Stanley  vote  shows  that 
the  fascination  of  the  public's  interest  in  the 
opening  up  of  the  dark  continent  has  not 
yet  been  forgotten.  Parkman's  "Oregon 
Trail"  undoubtedly  has  increased  in  apprecia- 
tion since  it  has  been  put  on  so  many  school 
reading  lists  in  the  last  few  years.  The 
Joseph  Conrad  vote  places  voyages  in  their 
popular  place  among  travel  titles.  Harry 
Frank's  book  is  still  his  best  known  title, 
altho  his  others  are  almost  equally  popular. 
The  vote  for  "The  Purple  Land"  is  another 
tribute  to  literary  talent  of  the  highest  order. 
Marco  Polo's  prominence  is  a'  testimony  to  tlhe 
greatness  of  the  importance  of  his  trip  rather 
than  the  wide  reading  the  text  has  had,  and 
the  vote  on  Ernest  Shackleton's  "Souith"  is 
a  deserved  tribute  to  a  great  book  of 
adventure.

Selecting  the  Gift  Book 

By  Irving  Allen 


IF  the  problem  of  helping  the  customer  find 
a  book  for  his  own  enjoyment  is  the  chief 

one  for  the  book  salespeople,  that  of  select- 
ing a  suitable  gift  book  for  a  third  person  for 
•whom  the  customer  is  choosing  is  no  less  per- 
plexing. Oftentimes  this  calls  for  more  sell- 
ing skill  because  the  salesman  is  working  thru 
another's  mind  and  not  directly  with  the  one 
to  be  considered  finally.  There  are  really  two 
to  please,  the  purchaser  and  the  giver,  so  the 
bookman  must  continually  bear  in  mind  the 
recipient.  For  this  reason  it  is  important  to 
distinguish  between  the  customer's  tastes  and 
prejudices  and  the  recipient's.  The  salesman 
after  hearing  the  evidence  must  act  as  judge, 
and  it  is  not  always  simple  to  discover  the  evi- 
dence. 

,  Leaving  aside  the  particular  problem  of  se- 
lection for  the  moment,  the  general  idea  of 
books  as  gifts  may  be  considered.  Much  can 
he  done  at  graduation  and  wedding  time  to 
emphasize  the  charm  and  utility  of  books  as 
gifts.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  hardly  anything 
is  more  appropriate  than  a  book — or  sets  of 
books — as  a  graduation  gift.  Perhaps  the  rea- 
son why  they  are  not  given  more  freely  is  that 
many  persons,  not  daring  to  trust  their  own 
judgments,  and  unfamiliar  with  the  enormous 
range  of  books,  feel  that  other  things  make 
more  suitable  gifts.  It  is  for  book  people  to 
overcome  this  prejudice  thru  poster  work  or 
direct  advertising  with  the  conviction  that 
books  make  unusual,  personal,  and  distinctive 
gifts;  that  the  right  book  may  be  found  for 
every  conceivable  taste;  and  that  a  single  book 
may  become  a  source  of  unimagined  influence 
for  a  lifetime.  Well  nigh  permanent,  they  re- 
flect distinction  on  both  giver  and  receiver. 
These  general  considerations  are  •widely  held, 
but  for  the  wavering  customer  they  must  be 
brought  forth  convincingly. 

Then  arises  the  immediate  question  of  what 
to  give.  This  compels  an  inquiry  into  some 
of  the  reading  habits  and  interests  of  the  one 
to  be  favored.  Does  he  or  she  read  much? 
What  is  hiis  work?  What  are  his  hobbies? 
Too  frequently  the  customer  will  want  to  give 
something  that  suits  himself  which  is  only 
natural,  but  may  result  in  a  book  never  being 
opened.  In  one  instance  a  woman  of  high  lit- 
erary tastes  was  selecting  a  set  of  books  fcr 
a  wedding  gift.  She  was  very  fond  of  Con- 
rad and  her  own  liking  impelled  her  toward 
the  Deep  Sea  Edition  as  a  possibility.  On  the 
other  hand  she  implied  to  the  saleswoman  that 
bhe  was  a  little  doubtful  of  her  friend  caring 
for  reading  of  this  kind.     Upon  inquiry  it  de- 


veloped that  he  had  expressed  an  unmistakable 
hking  for  some  of  Kipling's  stories.  Either 
set  would  have  made,  of  course,  an  exquisite 
gift  from  the  point  of  view  of  physical  attrac- 
tiveness alone.  But  the  slight  clue  seemed  to 
indicate  the  Kipling  volume.  The  saleswoman 
is  not  called  upon  to  judge  the  relative  merits 
of  authors,  but  to  find  the  most  suitable  novels, 
poems,  or  essays  for  the  one  considered. 

With  a  good  deal  of  foresight,  publishers 
have  brought  out  books  singularly  adapted  as 
gifts.  The  classics  are  practically  all  bound 
and  boxed  so  as  to  appeal  to  the  eye  and  hand 
of  the  customer.  A  good  suggestion  is  that 
volumes  of  one  author  be  purchased  periodic- 
ally on  birthdays  and  anniversaries  until  a  uni- 
form set  is  completed.  The  flexible  leather 
series  is  admirable  for  this.  The  frequent  ob- 
jection "that  the  customer  is  uncertain  whether 
the  one  for  whom  he  intends  the  book  has  read 
it"  is  overcome  by  emphasizing  the  joy  of  pos- 
session for  a  library,  or  if  a  classic  the  illumi- 
nation to  be  gained  by  re-reading.  Then  always 
the  privilege  of  exchange  may  be  extended. 
A  little  touch  of  the  intimacy  of  book  giving 
is  enhanced  by  pleasant  inscriptions. 

Then,  of  course,  there  are  the  inspirational 
books,  "books  with  a  purpose,"  and  books  on 
particular  topics  that  incite  and  sustain  a 
hobby  such  as  gardening  or  mechanics  or  sci- 
ence that  make  the  best  kind  of  gifts.  With 
this  veritable  treasure  to  draw  from  no  one 
need  go  away  feeling  he  cannot  find  "just  the 
thing,"  but  it  is  for  the  salesperson  to  dig 
down  and  uncover  it. 

Ethical  Problems 

IN  Christopher  Morley's  colyum  "The  Bowl- 
ing Green,"  this  letter  recently  appeared: 
Sir  :  There  are  two  sides  to  this  reading  on 
the  subway  business !  I  travel  on  a  Brooklyn 
express — never  crowded,  but  usually  with  a  fel- 
low passenger  on  either  side.  I  have  been  read- 
ing Stephen  Graham's  "Europe — Whither 
Bound,"  and  every  time  I  settle  down  to  enjoy 
the  book  I  find  that  the  man  on  my  left  and  the 
man  on  my  right  are  doing  the  same  thing — 
over  my  shoulders.  The  print  of  the  book  is 
good  and  the  type  clear  and  there  seems  to  be 
no  difficulty.  Except — I  read  more  rapidly 
than  they  do,  and  when  I  turn  a  page  there  is 
a  half-audible  expression  of  disgust.  What  is 
the  etiquette  on  such  occasions?  Shall  I  say, 
"iMr.  Appleton  publishes  this  book  at  $2,"  or 
shall  I  slacken  my  reading  pace?

Well-MadelBooks 

( (  A  GOO'D  deal  has  been  said,"  writes 
/»•  Jonathan  Cape,  the  London  publisher, 
in  his  house  organ,  Now  mid  Then,  "as  to 
the  need  of  co-operation  in  the  business 
for  co-)operation  also  between  the  publisher 
and  the  craftsman  he  employs.  Let  the  pub- 
lisher have  a  knowledge  of  printing,  or  at 
least  an  understanding  of  what  really  happens 
in  a  printing  works.  Let  him  have  a  definite 
taste  in  type  fonts  and  know  one  from  an- 
other, and  abbve  all  let  him  draw  up  and  ar- 
range his  own  title-pages.  Book  production 
is  a  tedious  business  and  should  be  undertaken 
only  by  those  who  love  it  and  are  prepared 
to  give  the  time  and  the  close  attention  that  it 
demands. 

"Printer  and  publilsher  should  work  in  close 
association.  It  should  be  a  feature  of  the 
books  issued  by  a  publishing  house  that  they 
all  have  a  general  character  and  appearance. 
Among  printers  there  is  a  term  which  is 
current,  it  is  'the  style  of  the  house,'  and  it 
designates  a  particular  arrangement  and  use  of 
types  which  that  house  adopts  when  given 
MSS.  to  put  into  type.  The  publisher  should 
have  his  definite  individual  style  also,  which 
should  be  expressed  not  only  in  the  printing 
but  in  the  size  of  the  book,  the  quality  and 
finish  of  the  paper,  the  lettering  on  the  bind- 
ing, the  color  and  quality  of  the  cloth,  and 
the  appearance  of  the  'jacket.' 

"A  characteristic  style  will  always  remain 
the  individual  property  of  the  publisher  so 
long  as  he  maintains  it.  Imitation  is  never 
quite  successful.  The  font  of  type  may  be 
copied  and  the  book  imitated  in  its  broader 
aspect,  but  it  is  the  detail  that  contributes  the 
sum  of  the  effect,  and  once  a  publisher  devotes 
his  attention  to  the  small  details  and  concen- 
trates upon  them,  personal  preference  and 
character  are  bound  to  show  and  he  will  de- 
velop in  time  his  own  individual  style.  If  a 
publisher  is  commercially  minded  and  is  content 
with  what  the  printer  gives  him  for  his  money, 
his  Ijlooks  will  not  have  a  pleasing  appearance. 
This  will  be  reflected  in  the  sales  of  his  books, 
as  the  ordinary  man  is  unconsciously  influenced 
by  the  'feel'  of  a  book.  How  many  peoi)le 
have  had  their  interest  aroused  in  a  book,  and 
then  at  the  last  moment  have  failed  to  buy  it, 
or  having  bought  it  have  not  troubled  to  read 
it,  for  some  intangible  reason?  A  well-made 
bdok  which  is"  'right'  will  intrigue  a  savage, 
providing  his  attention  is  not  distracted  by 
some  interest  which  he  understands  better.  A 
badly-made  book  not  only  disgusts  the  fas- 
tidious, but  will  never  convert  a  Philistine  to 
the  pleasure  of  glowl  reading,  whereas  a  well- 
made  book  is  a  thing  of  beauty,  and  a — no. 
the  rest  of  the  sentence  need  not  be  written."

Book  Hunger 

JOHN  FARRAR  writing  in  fhe  New  York 
Herald  on  "A  Year  of  The  Bookman"  says : 
"That  young  men  now  have  a  better  chance 
for  piiblication  and  for  quick  recognition  is  not 
so  much,  I  think,  a  sign  of  debased  literary 
standards  as  it  is  a  healthful  display  of  a  gen- 
eral increase  in  book  interest.  Publishing  con- 
ditions are  rapidly  improving.  There  is  a  defi- 
nite hunger  on  the  part  of  the  women — ^and  the 
appetite  is  not  exclusively  feminine — for  some 
indefinite  thing  which  they  perhaps  call  culture. 
This  hunger  they  are  satisfying  by  a  reaching 
out  for  books  and  book  information.  We  feel 
this  interest  here.  From  practically  every  city 
in  the  country  and  from  small  towns  in  every 
state  come  weekly  letters  which  tell  us  of  local 
literary  activities  and  of  local  literary  heroes. 
This  movement  is  not  urban,  it  is  nationwide. 
At  the  risk  of  being  a  Pollyanna  we  should  like 
to  close  by  saying  that  to  be  writing  books  or 
editing  a  book  magazine  during  the  coming  ten 
years  is  to  have  the  promise  of  an  audience.

A  LITTLE  SUGGESTION 

A  Letter  to  the  Dramatic  Editor  of  the  New 
York  Times  from  Leonard  Hatch : 
"Queer  how  theatrical  managers  and  pub- 
lishers are  so  dense  that  they  cannot  take 
a  hint  from  the  movies.  Of  course,  business 
for  all  three  is  not  what  it  might  be,  but 
the  motion  picture  industry  has  suffered  the 
least. 

"And  why?  Surely  no  one  need  ask  that. 
The  answer  is  simple:  Life  in  the  world  of 
the  theater  and  among  publdshers  and  authors 
is  too  all-ifired  dull  and  respectable.  Yet  the 
remedy  lies'  ready  at  hand.  Just  a  murder 
or  two,  gory  and  linked  with  scandal — and 
the  trick  is  turned.  Publishers  would  have 
no  need  to  worry  if  the  public  could  only 
hear : 


Well-Knoimi  Publisher  Meets  With  Foul  Play 

"Charles  Scribbleday  found  with  throat 
cut  from  ear  to  ear.  Letter  on  his  desk  from 
Edith  Wharton,  but  she  maintains  silence 
about  affaiir;  is  to  be  grilled  by  police.  Ches- 
terton hurries  back  to  England  before  detect- 
ives can  reach  him;  his  ship  may  be  stopped 
by  wireless.  Margaret  Deland  sends  half  mil- 
lion roses  to  funeral,  but  maintains  that  is 
merely  mark  of  respect.  H.  G.  Wells  ex- 
presses confidence  in  Scnibbleday's  character. 
Shaw  cables  word  of  sympathy,  but  adds  that 
throat-cutting  is  too  good  for  many  Ameri- 
cans; those  who  do  not  like  all  his  plays 
should   be   boiled   in   oil! 

"Amy  Lowell  denies  that  interlocked  hearts 
on  publlisher's  bathing  suit  were  embroidered 
by  her.  Saturday  Evening  Post  offers  million 
dollar  reward'  denies  that  refusal  to  print 
any  more  of  Irving  Cobb's  stories  has 
anything  to  do  with  affair.  Fannie  Hurst 
says  she  can  prove  She  was  at  breakfast  with 
husband  at  hour  of  murder.  Kathleen  Norris 
denies  showing  jealousy  at  one  of  Scribble- 
day's  'parties,'  and  flinging  glass  of  home  brew 
into   Edna   Ferber's   face. 

"Doings  of  other  pulbliishers  and  authors  to 
be  given  thoro  airing.  Editor  of  Atlantic 
Monthly  issues  statement  denying  that  pink 
lingerie  has  been  found  in  their  composing 
room. 

"A  few  items  like  that  are  all  that  are  needed 
to  put  the  publishing  business  back  into  the 
running   with   the   movies    once   more." 

We  caniTOt  sufficiently  admire  the  shrewdness 
of  Mr.  Wells  and  Mr.  Shaw  in  going  into  the 
prophet  game.  It's  so  much  easier  these  days 
to  get  ahead  of  the  world  than  to  keep  up  with 
it. — Keith   Preston,  Chicago  Daily  News.

Saturday  Afternoons  at  Paul  Elder's 

Free  Lectures  as  a  Drawing  Card  to  Bigger  Business 


OUT  in  San  Francisco,  Paul  Elder  has  in- 
augurated a  popular  series  of  free  lect- 
ures or,  as  he  prefers  to  call  them,  "Half 
Hpurs  with  Eminent  Speakers,"  which  are 
proving  of  real  value  in  the  development  of  his 
book  business. 

The  novel  idea  of  gaining  publicity  in  this 
manner  first  came  to  him  back  in  1915,  shortly 
after  he  executed  the  "managerial  flip-flop" 
which  changed  his  establishment  from  an  ex- 
clusive shop  catering  to  the  few  to  an  all-round 
bookstore  appealing  to  the  many. 

In  the  old,  familiar  iplace,  at  239  Grant  Ave- 
nue, the  top  fl'oor  was  made  into  an  attractive 
lecture  gallery,  simply  hung  with  natural  tinted 
monks  cloth  and  seating  about  one  hundred 
and  seventy- five  people.  Provisions  for  the 
same  sort  of  gallery  have  now  been  made 
in  the  new  establishment  at  239  Post  Street. 

The  lectures  may  roughly  be  divided  into  two 
kinds — ^reviews  of  current  books  and  talks  on 
general  subjects.  Of  course  these  headings  do 
not  cover  one  or  two  concerts  and  a  couple  of 
afternoons  devoted  to  dramatic  readings  and 
exhibition  dancing.  Whenever  available,  it  has 
been  the  policy  to  have  authors  talk  about  their 
own  books,  but  lacking  one  of  these  acquies- 
cent artists,  Mr.  Elder  procures  some  well- 
known  fellow-author  to  speak  on  current  lit- 
erature. 

Each  month  a  Calendar  of  Events  with 
notices  'of  coming  lectures  in  the  gallery  is 
circularized  and,  together  with  announcements 
in  the  daily  papers,  it  always  insures  a  crowd 
which  fills  the  little  hall  and  frequently  necessi- 
tates a  repetition  of  the  talk  to  satisfy  an  over- 
flow audience. 

This,  in  itself,  is  a  general  indication  of  how 
well  the  lecture  system  is  working  as  a  pub- 
licity scheme.  Of  course  the  question  natur- 
ally arises  as  to  just  how  far  the  audiences 
attending  free  lectures  represent  the  book-buy- 
ing public.  Undoubtedly  (it  is  true  that  a  small 
group  of  people  attend  these  lectures  regularly 
with  no  thought  of  a  possible  purchase;  it  is 
probably  equally  true  that  nb  direct  returns 
ever  result  from  such  habii'ues.  Yet  obviously 
there  are  other  factors  entering  into  a  consid- 
eration of  the  success  or  failure  of  the  under- 
taking. Take  Mr.  Elder's  own  opinion,  for 
example.     In  a  recent  letter  he  states : 

"The  activities  in  the  gallery  arc  of  great 
value  in  the  development  of  our  business.  They 
have  secured  for  us  the  very  hearty  and  loyal 
interest  of  a  large  number  of  people ;  they  at- 
tract a  larse  number  of  people  to  our  buildinc 
who  therein-   become   familiar  with  the   estah- 


lishment,  even  tho  at  the  time  they  are  not 
direct  purchasers ;  and  they  have  secured  for  us 
a  large  amount  of  newspaper  publicity,  which  I 
consider  most  valuable  and  which  could  not  be 
obtained  dn  any  other  way. 

"As  for  the  value  of  the  lectures  in  directly 
stimulating  the  buying  of  certain  definite  books, 
that  is  a  feature  that  varies  greatly  according 
to  the  nature  of  the  books  under  discussion  and 
the  personality  and  influence  of  the  lecturers. 
My  experience  with  display  newspaper  adver- 
tising, both  from  my  own  insertions  and  from 
what  I  can  see  of  the  direct  returns  of  pub- 
lishers' advertising  in  the  San  Francisco  papers, 
is  that  while  all  insertions  must  be  valuable 
for  their  combined  cumulative  effect,  there  are 
very  few  indeed  that  result  in  creating  direct, 
immediate  demand  for  the  books  advertised 
in  any  great  number.  So  it  is  with  our  lectures 
— there  are  instances  when  the  direct  response 
in  sales  is  negligible;  there  are  others  when 
the  event  seems  to  have  been  a  great  influence 
in  establishing  a  general  run  on  the  book  in 
San  Francisco,  and  results  in  a  considerable 
immediate  sale  on  the  day  of  the  event. 

"With  reference  to  the  direct  sale,  I  can  in- 
stance notably  the  success  we  had  with  Charle^ 
Caldwell  Dobie's  book,  'The  Blood  Red  Dawn.' 
Even  tho  the  publishers  failed  to  have  a  stock 
of  the  book  in  our  hands  on  the  day  of  the 
lecture,  a  generous  number  of  orders  were 
taken  at  the  time,  and  as  a  result  of  our  cam- 
paign, with  the  initial  start  of  our  lecture,  we 
put  Mr.  Dobie's  lx)ok  on  the  map  in  San 
Francisco.  Our  sale  for  the  book  far  exceeded 
that  of  any  other  stiore  in  San  Francisco,  and 
the  sale  in  San  Francisco  exceeded  that  in 
other  cities.  Mr.  P>lake,  the  western  representa- 
tive of  Harper  &  Bros,  can  readily  confirm 
this.  We  had  an  excellent  success  with  Mrs. 
Atherton's  book,  'Sisters-in-Law,'  and  developed 
a  sale  for  it  very  much  larger  than  we  had 
previously  obtained  for  works  of  fiction  in  our 
store." 

The  benefits  accruing  to  the  establishment 
from  these  lectures,  therefore,  are  the  sort 
which  always  follow  any  systematic  advertising 
campaign  consistently  pursued  and  conscien- 
tiously backed  by  "the  golods."  The  buying 
pu1)lic  hears  (directly  or  indirectly)  about  the 
current  books  and  gains  an  impression  that  Paul 
Elder's  is  a  center  of  intellectual  activity  and 
a  place  where  desired  books  are  to  be  found. 
In  a  word,  the  lectures  help  to  create  an 
atmosphere  and  advertise  the  fact  that  here  is 
a  thoroly  up-to-date  shop,  conducted  with  open 
doors.

TJie  Publishers'  Weekly 

English  Book-Trade  News 

From  Our  London  Correspondent 


MR.  CAPE  holds  a  brief  for  good  print- 
ing. Years  since,  before  he  was  pub- 
lishing on  his  own  account,  it  was 
obvious  that  he  was  struggling  for  a  great 
ideal  in  book  production.  Now  that  he  is  the 
head  of  a  new  house,  that  ideal  is  coming 
nearer.  In  his  Noiv  &  Then — ^the  Cape 
House   Organ,   he   writes : 

"There  is  need  at  the  present  time  for  a 
better  standard  of  book  production.  The 
craft  of  book-making  has  deteriorated  in  a 
most  marked  degree.  Not  only  are  printing 
charges  unduly  high,  but  the  quality  of  the 
work  is  deplorable.  Care  in  composition  and 
in  proof  reading,  umiformity  of  inking, 
promptness  of  service — all  the  things  which 
at  one  time  were  matters  of  pride  with  book- 
printers,  are  sadly  lacking  today.  The  most 
famous  printing  firms  are  not  exempt  from 
this  deterioration.  It  is  only  with  the  great- 
est difficulty  that  even  respectable  work  can 
be  obtained.  Let  it  be  said  for  the  credit 
of  the  master-iprinter  that  he  admits  and  de- 
plores the  present  low  standard.  The  re- 
sponsibility is  not  entirely  his,  the  employing 
publisher  is  also  to  blame.  Slipshod  printing 
and  shoddy  production  have  been  accepted  as 
inevitable,  as  a  legacy  of  the  war.  There  is 
no  longer  any  excuse  for  either. 

And  he  practices  what  he  preaches,  because 
his  books  are  produced  in  the  best  possible 
way,  with  infinite  care,  and  full  of  real, 
tangible  art.  Even  those  who  know  nothing 
about  rules  and  formula  exclaim  with  pleas- 
ure when  they  handle  his  excellent  books. 
And  this  choice  style  Mr.  Cape  carries  to  his 
circulars.  We  have  one  in  front  of  us  now 
— "Novels  of  To-Day."  It  is  got  up  so 
effectively  that  it  must  bring  orders.  Just 
as  his  advertisements  are  distinctive,  so  are 
his  books  and)  publicity  material.  It  is  a 
good  thing  for  present  day  publishing  to  have 
Mr.  Cape's  ideals  moving  among  us.  An- 
orther  feature  of  this,  publishiing  hotise  is 
the  interest  it  is  taking  in  American  literature. 
Read  what  he  says  in  his  Now  &  Then. 

"The  question  is  frequently  put,  usually  by 
booksellers,  'Why  do  you  publish  so  many 
American  books? — ^people  are  not  interested 
in  America.'  The  answer  is  that  people 
must  be  interested  in  America.  There  is  no 
necessity  to  import  the  extravagances  of  do- 
mestic sentiment  or  physical  prowess  which, 
as  best-sellers,  were  a  feature  of  American 
publishing   a   decade   ago. 

"There  is,  however,  a  new  spirit  to-day  in 
America,  and  it  is  producing  a  literature.    As 


it  is  literature,  its  interest  for  readers  is,  or 
should  be,  international.  SherwKx>di  Ander- 
son, Edith  Wharton,  Dorothy  Canfield,  Sin- 
clair Lewis  and  Joiseph  Hergesheimer  c^n 
tell  us  something  about  life — real  life.  The 
detail  is  different,  and  for  this  reason  is  more 
interesting  to  some,  but  the  underlying  motive 
is  the  same,  the  rendering  of  life  as  lived 
and  felt  by  people  of  flesh  and  blood." 

Mr.  Cape  lis  also  bringing  before  the  Eng- 
lish public  the  works  of  Mencken,  Carl  San- 
burg,  Joseph  Anthony,  Harvey  O'Higgins  and 
Eugene    O'Neill. 

In  spite  of  the  thousand  and  one  troubles- 
that  publishers  and  booksellers  have  to  face 
eadh  year,  and  in  spite  of  the  new  trouble,. 
the  strike  of  the  packers,  bookselling,  lin  it^ 
broadest  sense,  is  going  ahead.  Somethhig  o-f 
Amenica's  enthusiasm  for  making  the  book 
better  known  is  having  its  effect  here.  The 
"Buy  a  Book  a  Week"  campaign  is  becoming; 
in  England  "Buy  a  Book  To-day."  An  ex- 
cellent objective  and  if  the  assistant  in  the- 
book-store  will  just  "Sell  a  Book  a  Minute," 
why  bookselling  will  come  into  its  own.  Here 
are  some  chips  from  a  well-known  London 
Weekly:    Public   Opinion. 

"The  only  way  to  make  the  cry  of  "Buy 
a  Book  To-day"  effective  is  by  creating  an' 
intense  love  of  reading  and  an  appetite  for 
possessing — ^and  even  marking — one's  own. 
books.  Some  books  should  never  be  read  iir 
borrowed   copies — that   is    sacrilege. 

"It  is  tragic  even  to  go   thru  our   second- 
hand bookshops  and  see  the  splendid  treasures- 
of     literature,     well-printed,     illustrated,     and 
bound,   which   are  heing  sold   for  a  song. 

"The  lack  of  books  is  due  to  a  lack  of  will 
and  to  a  lack  of  the  love  of  books  for  their 
own    sakes. 

"We  English  people  have  not  acquired  the 
habit  of  book-ibuying.  We  only  buy  books 
by  accident  or  under  pressure,  or  mainly  as 
'furniture,'  and  even  so  not  as  furniture 
of  the  mind. 

"Despite  the  cheapness  of  books  and  the 
spread  of  education  it  is  still  true  to  say 
that  the  supply  of  books  in  most  houses  is 
simply  beggarly  and  shameful." 

Mr.  G.  Ki  Chesterton  expounded  his  ideas 
about  films  to  the  rnembers  of  the  Stoll  Pic- 
ture Theatre  Club  recently,  and  confessed 
that  he  had  but  recently  become  a  convert  to 
the  kinema.  "When  I  found  that  modern 
governments  were  trying  to  suppress  it,"  he 
said,  "I  felt  that  there  must  be  something 
good  and  Christian-like  about   it."

RARE  BOOK  PRICES' 

[Editorial  Note.— This  discussion  of  rare  book 
prices  was  started  by  Mr.  Cannon's  (of  the  New 
York  Public  Library)  article  in  the  February  11 
issue  which  outlined  the  difficulty  of  obtaining  out 
of  print  books.  To  this  Burdock  replied  in  a  letter 
in  the  February  25  issue  saying  libraries  were  loathe 
to  pay  a  just  price  for  second  hand  books.  In  the 
April  I  issue  two  librarians  defended  their  posi- 
tion.    Now    Burdock    answers   them.] 

Editor,  Publishers'  Weekly, 

Mr.  Read,  of  Los  Angeles,  in  his  letter  in 
reply  to  my  commurnication  of  February  25, 
practically  admits  the  justice  of  my  contention 
that  libraries  are  unwilling  to  pay  fair  prices 
for  O.  P.  books. 

He  says,  "We  may  advertise  for  a  book 
which  we  are  willing  to  buy  at  the  original 
price,  but  not  at  a  premium'*  (the  italics  are 
mine). 

In  other  words  he  is  not  willing  to  allow 

the  dealer  any  profit  over  and  above  the  pub- 

lisiied   price.     No   wonder   a    large    dealer    in 

r^    second-hand    books    (in    N.    Y.)    said   to   tre 

1"I  seldom  read  in  the  library  'Books  Wanted,' 
they  won't  pay  for  books  which  my  private 
customers  will  read/ily  take."  Yours, 

Burdock. 

"WHO'S  WHO  CORRECTED" 

New  York, 
April  20,  1922. 
Editor,  Publishers'  Weekly; 

Referring  to  your  obituary  notice  of  Ernest 
Alfred  Vizetelly  in  the  issue  of  "Publishers' 
Weekly"  for  April  ist,  and  the  statement  that 
he  was  associated  with  Vizetelly  and  Company, 
permit  me  to  draw  your  attention  to  the  fact 
that  on  page  293  of  "Emile  Zola,  Novelist  and 


Reformer,"  written  by  my  brother  Ernest,  he 
makes  the  following  statement:  "I  do  not  be- 
long to  the  firm  of  Vizetelly  and  Company  and 

I  know  nothing  about  it." 

I  shall  feel  obliged  if  you  will  kindly  print 
this  correction. 

Yours  very  truly, 
Frank  H.  Vizetelly.

The  sale  of  modern  first  editions  collected 
by  William  McPherson,  of  Vancouver,  B.  C, 
with  additions,  at  the  Anderson  Galleries,  April 
17  and  18,  beans  evidence  to  the  keen  interest 
in  first  editions  of  modern  authors,  most  of 
whom  are  still  living.  Good  prices  were 
realized  for  collections  of  Aubrey  Beardsley, 
James  B.  Cabell,  Joseph  Conrad,  John  Mase- 
field,  H.  G.  Wellis,  and  others.  The  original

The  Archaeological  Society  of  Washington 
has  announced  thru  its  secretary  that  Dr. 
Johannes  IGennadins  had  presented  to  the  Amer-

private  library  of  50,000  volumes,  valued  at 
$250,000,  containing  collections  illustrating  the 
history  and  institutions  of  Greece  from  the 
earliest  times.  The  possession  of  this  library, 
it  is  said,  will  make  the  American  School  at 
Athens  the  world  center  for  the  study  of  Greek 
history,  literature  and  archaeology. 


Charles  F.  Heartman,  Perth  Amboy,  N.  J., 
has  reprinted  in  the  Heartman  Historical  Series 
(No.  36)  Hugh  Meredith's  "An  Account  of 
the  Cape  Fear  Country,  1731"  given  in  letters 
to  the  Pennsylvania  Gametic  and  reprinted  from 
a  file  in  the  possession  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Historical  Society  and  edited  by  Earl  Swegg 
Swem,  librarian  of  the  College  of  William  and 
Mary.  Meredith  was  Benjamin  Franklin's 
partner  at  one  time  and  this  description  of  the 
Cape  Fear  region  is  one  of  the  earliest  we 
have. 

The  autobiography  of  Countess  Sophie  Tol- 
stoy, wife  of  the  great  Russian  novelist,  has 
just  been  printed  in  a  Russian  magazine  and 
will  shortly  be  published  in  London  and  New 
York.  The  manuscript  was  originally  handed 
to  Professor  Vergerow  of  Petrograd.  On  his 
death  his  papers  came  into  the  possession  of 
the  Petrograd  Institute  of  Learning,  where  the 
autobiography  wais  discovered.  It  is  said  to 
throw  a  flood  of  light  on  the  last  two  or  three 
decades  of  the  great  Russian's  life. 

The  New  York  Public  Library,  assisted  by 
loans  from  the  library  of  J.  Pierpont  Morgan, 
the  Library  of  Columbia  University,  the 
Dramatic  Museum,  and  the  American  Academy 
of  Arts  and  Sciences,  is  giving  an  exhibition 
commemorating  the  tercentenary  of  the  birth 
of  Moliere.  The  outstanding  feature  of  the 
exhibition  is  a  fine  collection  of  first  separate 
editions  of  the  plays  and  the  early  editions  of 
the  collected  works  previous  to  the  first  edition 
of  the  complete  works  by  La  Grange  and  Vinot 
published  in  1862. 

A  notaJble  collection  of  books,  broadsides,

of  a  half  century  by  Miss  Susan  Minns,  of 
Boston,  will  be  sold  at  the  American  Art 
Galleries  May  2  and  3.  This  is  the  most  im- 
portant collection  of  its  kind  that  has  ever

than  a  thousand  lots,  and  including  manuscripts 
of  the  thirteentli,  fourteenth,  fifteenth  and  later 
centuries  and  about  every  known  edition  of 
Holbein's  "Dance  of  Death"  since  its  first  pub- 
lication in  1538.

Portraits  of  the  Age  of  Panoply"  by  Dr.  Neil 
Munro,  with  two  fine  full  page  colored  plates; 
".Adorning  the  Lifbrary"  by  Charles  H.  Butcher ;

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


"Lionel  Wafer:  Author,  Surgeon  and  Bucca- 
neer" !by  Philip  Goose;  "Dickensiana  in 
America"  by  George  H.  Sargent;  and  a 
"Bibliography  of  William  Henry  Davies"  by 
George  F.  Wilson.  The  usual  departments  are 
well  packed  with  interesting  note  and  comment. 

One  of  the  literary  centenaries  of  the  present 
year  is  that  of  the  French  novelist  Henri  Mur- 
ger.  Commenting  upon  him  the  Manchester 
Guardian  says :  "Murger  was  born  and  lived  in 
the  hard  Bohemian  world,  which  was  the  theme 
of  nearly  all  of  his  writings.  His  father  com- 
bined the  duties  of  a  concierge  with  the  trade 
of  a  tailor  and  turned  his  ison  out  of  doors 
when  he  preferred  the  pen  to  the  sheers.  He 
found  a  refuge  in  a  miserable  garret  and  at 
first  did  literary  work  of  the  humblest  kind, 
writing  mainly  for  the  fashion  periodicals  and 
children's  papers.  Rather  ibetter  days  came  for 
him  later  and  some  of  his  novels  were  accepted 
for  serial  publication  by  the  Revue  lies  Deux 
Mondes.  He  died  in  a  little  village  near  Fon- 
tainebleu,  and  his  death  is  said  to  have  been 
the  result  of  his  years  of  privation  and  of  the 
abuse  of  coffee,  which  he  used  to  drink  when 
'he  was  working  against  time  for  publishers  to 
keep  himself  awake." 

The  istate  archives  of  Russia  are  giving  up 
some  very  interesting  unpublished  material  these 
days.  The  Central  Archives  of  the  Republic 
have  in  readiness  the  Journals  of  Nicholas 
Romanoff  in  four  volumes  and  the  correspond- 
ence of  the  late  Empress  in  two  volumes ;  and 
the  Diaries^  of  Alexander  HI  and  documents 
of  diplomatic  importance.  An  interesting  find 
is  the  text  of  the  constitution  of  Poland  signed 
by  Alexander  I  which  was  discovered  in  Mos- 
cow and  has  been  turned  over  to  a  Polish  dele- 
gation. The  Archives  of  the  Censorship  is 
yielding  many  treasures  and  the  work  of  ex- 
amination hais  only  just  begun.  One  discovery 
of  international  interest  is  the  unpublished 
manuscripts  by  and  relating  to  Dostoyevsky. 
These  manuscripts  had  been  given  to  the  His- 
torical Museum  of  Moscow  by  the  novelist's 
widow,  who  is  nonv  dead.  They  were  contained 
in  a  fireproof  chest  which  was  opened  on 
January  6,  1922,  in  the  presence  of  several  wit- 
nesses. Upon  examination  the  box  was  found 
to  hold  two  oil  cloth  bags  with  a  number  of 
the  writer's  note-books,  rough  drafts  and  busi- 
ness  memoranda  and  important  correspondence. 
The  most  valuable  manuscript  is  the  one  bear- 
ing this  inscription  in  the  widow's  hand : 
"Brothers  Karamazov,  Everything."  There 
are  variants  of  and  sketches  ot  "The  Raw 
Youth,"  also  letters  and  miscellaneous  docu- 
ments. It  is  estimated  that  the  unpublished 
material  would  fill  ten  volumes.

May  6,  1922  1263 

The  first  man  who  read  this  book 

wrote  us  immediately : 

I  have  just  finished  Mark  Sullivan's  book  on  the  Washington  Conference, 
and  I  must  say  it  far  exceeds  even  my  high  expectations.  It  is  a  vital,  human, 
dramatic  presentation  of  this  great  international  gathering  in  which  the  author, 
while  never  losing  sight  of  the  large  perspective  of  the  action,  gives  the  small 
but  significant  details  in  a  way  that  is  peculiarly  Illuminating.  He  gives  the 
reader  the  impression  that  he  was  present.  This  he  does  very  largely  through 
quoting  his  own  notes  made  at  the  time.  Where  the  impressions  of  the 
moment  proved  to  be  incorrect  he  rectifies  them  by  later  conclusions. 

This  is  a  book  which  ought  greatly  to  interest  people  who  have  not  the 
faintest  interest  normally  in  international  affairs.  It  is  written  with  such 
simplicity  that  it  could  be  readily  understood  by  any  high  school  boy  or  girl, 
while  its  observations  are  so  penetrating  that  they  should  be  helpful  to 
diplomats,  statesmen,  and  students  of  international  affairs.  In  short,  it  is  a 
remarkable  book  of  not  only  timely  interest  but  lasting  value. 

THE  GREAT 
ADVENTURE  AT  WASHINGTON 

,THE  STORY  OF  THE  CONFERENCE 

By  MARK  SULLIVAN 


Mark  Sullivan's  articles  are  syndicated  to  more  than  seventy  daily  papers 
throughout  the  United  States  and  they  are  read  in  every  state  in  the  union. 
His  popularity  is  due  to  the  fact  that  his  articles  are  a  reflection  of  sound 
common  sense  and  uplifting  citizenship.  The  followers  of  his  newspaper 
writings  anxiously  await  this  book.

Tariff  Under  Debate 

WHEN  the  Senate  tariff  schedules  were 
presented  for  debate,  the  opposition 
immediately  began  its  attack,  and  the 
whole  theory  under  which  the  bill  has  been 
constructed  has  been  opened  to  the  sharpest 
criticism.  While  the  book-trade,  and  especially 
ihc  publishers,  have  a  very  vital  interest  in  the 
book  schedules,  they  also  have  a  very  real  in- 
terest in  the  effect  of  the  whole  tariff  plan  on 
the  business  of  the  country. 

The  theory  of  the  bill  has  been  that  the  pres- 
ent Congress  was  elected  specifically  to  make 
tariff  as  high  as  possible,  that  present  importa- 
tions are  to  be  presumed  to  be  excessive  and 
a  menace  to  the  business  of  the  country,  that 
the  selling  pricas  of  merchandise  in  this  country 
should  be  protected  from  any  possible  competi- 
tion from  other  nations.  The  book-trade  is 
probably  one  of  the  few  industries  that  peti- 
tioned for  lower  rates  and  has  consistently 
pointed  out  that  the  American  trade  does  not 
need  to  fear  the  competition  of  other  lands. 
American  houses  know  that  they  can  today 
make  books  as  cheaply  as  can  England  and 
that  isuch  current  books  as  come  in  in  manufac- 
tured form  are  those  which  could  not  profit- 
aibly  be  made  on  both  sides  of  the  water,  as 
the  editions  demanded  were  too  small. 

As  the  schedule  from  the  Senate  is  made  to 
read,  there  will  be  a  15%  duty  the  same  as 
heretofore,  which  becomes  25%  if  the  book 
is  of  American  authonship  manufactured 
abroad.  All  children's  books  will  be  at  25% 
under  a  phrase  "books  of  paper  or  other  ma- 
terial for  children's  use,  printed  lithographically 
or  otherwise,  not  exceeding  in  weight  twenty- 
four  ounces  each,  with  more  reading  matter 
than  letters,  numerals,  or  descriptive  words" 
and  the  bringing  in  of  toy  books  will  be  prac- 
tically prohibited  under  a  70%  rate,  an  increase 
from  the  40%  given  in  the  House  Bill. 


One  place  where  duty  has  been  made  ob- 
viously too  high  and  prohibitive  is  in  the  case 
of  leather  bindings  where  the  binders  have  suc- 
ceeded in  presenting  their  case  strongly  and  a 
45%  duty  has  been  listed,  almost  as  much  as 
the  50%  which  they  aisked  for.  A  further  mis- 
fortune is  that  the  bill  so  reads  that  a  new 
binding  on  a  book  twenty  years  old  would  make 
the  whole  book  and  binding  dutiable,  which 
probably  was  not  the  intention  of  the  drafters 
of  the  bill.  A  very  strong  protest  against  this 
feature  is  being  registered  both  by  booksellers 
and  publishers.  As  the  booksellers  have  a 
strong  interest  in  the  price  of  custom  binding, 
they  should  get  in  immediate  touch  with  their 
senators  to  get  proper  attention  to  this  schedule. 
The  presence  of  so  many  booksellers  in  Wash- 
ington ought  to  give  opportunity  for  personal 
interviews  that  would  bring  the  injustice  of 
this  phrase  to  the  attention  of  the  influential 
people. 

Books  Stimulate  More  Books 

IT  has  always  been  the  contention  of  those 
who  have  studied  the  development  of  the 
American  'book  market  that  the  coming  into 
this  country  of  representative  books  from 
other  countries  has  not  been  so  much  a  com- 
petition with  American-made  volumes  as  a 
stimulus  to  the  market  which  has  induced  more 
consumption  and  more  production  on  this  side. 
A.  S.  M.  Hutchinson's,  "Once  Aboard  the 
Lugger,"  published  fourteen  years  ago  by  Mit- 
chell Kennerley,  was  an  experiment  as  far  as 
the  American  market  was  concerned.  Today 
there  have  been  printed  and  sold  five  times  as 
many  copies  of  Hutchinson's  current  book  as 
in  his  own  country.  This  stimulation  of  the 
manket  by  incoming  books  is  something  that 
needs  to  be  kept  in  mind  both  in  the  study  of 
our  copyright  and  our  tariff  situation.  Books 
do  not,  li'ke  other  merchandise,  satisfy  a  de- 
mand but  stimulate  further  demand.  This  point 
of  view  has  been  well  stated  in  an  editorial  by 
A.  R.  Orage  in  the  London  Nezv  Age,  reprinted 
in  this  country  by  Alfred  A.  Knopf  in  a 
volume  entitled  "Readers  and  Writers." 

"If  books  were  like  other  commodities,  their 
sale,  like  the  sale!  of  other  commodities,  would 
fall  under  the  economic  law  of  diminishing  re- 
turns. Thereunder,  as  their  supply  increased, 
the  demand  for  books  would  tend  to  decrease, 
as  is  the  case  with  cotton,  say,  or  wooden 
spoons.  And  upon  such  an  assumption  there 
might  be  some  reason  for  prohibiting  the  free 


1268 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


importation  of  printed  ibooks,  since  the  im- 
ported articles  would  compete  in  the  home  mar- 
ket for  a  relatively  inelastic  demand.  But 
ibooks,  it  is  obvious,  are  not  a  commodity  in 
this  sense  of  the  word.  They  do  not  satisfy 
demand  but  stimulai'e  it,  and  their  sale,  there- 
fore, does  not  fall  under  the  economic  law  of 
diminishing  returns,  but  under  the  very  con- 
trary law  of  increasing  returns.  Books,  there 
is  no  douibt  of  it,  are  the  cause  of  books.  New 
books  do  not  take  the  place  of  old  books ;  nor 
do  'books  really  compete,  as  a  general  rule, 
-with  each  other.  On  the  contrary,  the  more 
books  there  are,  the  more  are  demanded  and 
the  more  are  produced.  The  free  importation 
of  books  is  not  a  means  of  contracting  the 
home-production  of  books;  it  is  the  very  op- 
posite, the  most  effective  means  of  stimulating 
home-production  to  its  highest  possible  degree. 
If  I  were  an  American  author,  resident  in 
America,  and  concerned  for  the  prosperity  of 
the  American  book-making  profession,  craft, 
and,  industry,  I  should  not  be  in  the  least  dis- 
posed to  thank  the  American  Copyright  Law 
for  the  protection  it  professes  to  give  me.  The 
appetite  for  books,  upon  which  appetite  I  and 
my  craft  live,  grows,  I  should  say,  by  what  it 
feeds  on.  Addressing  the  Copyright  Act  as  it 
now  exists,  I  should  say  to  it :  'In  discouraging 
the  free  importation  of  foreign  books,  and  in 
alienating  the  goodwill  of  foreign  authors  and 
publishers,  you  are  robbing  foreign  authors 
(that  iis  true),  but,  much  worse,  you  are  de- 
priving my  public  of  the  stimulus  necessary 
to  its  demand  for  my  books.  Since  we  authors 
in  America  have  a  vital  interest  in  increasing 
literary  demand,  and  the  more  books  the  more 
demand  is  created,  our  real  protection  lies  in 
freely  importing  books,  and  not  in  placing  any 
impediment  in  their  way.  Intending  to  help  us, 
yQu_the  Copyright  Law— are  really  our 
enemy.'  I  cannot  see  what  reply  the  Copyright 
Law  could  make  to  this  attack  upon  it  by  its 
proteges,  and  I  believe,  moreover,  that  if  they 
were  to  make  it,  the  Law  would  soon  be 
amended." 

Introduction  of  the  Copyright 
Bill 

THE  copyright  bill  was  introduced  into  the 
House  of  Representatives,  at  the  request 
of  the  Authors'  League,  by  Representa- 
tive Tincher  of  Kansas  on  April  28th.  and  be- 
comes H.  R.  1 1476  on  the  calendar.     The  text 
is  as  printed  in  the  Publishers'  Weekly  for 


January  21st,  1922,  except  as  to  Section  5, 
which  is  modified  by  the  omission  of  two 
clauses  declared  by  Director  Rothlisberger  of 
the  International  Copyrig'ht  Union  to  be  such 
as  to  bar  the  entrance  of  America  into  the 
Union  and  thus  defeat  the  purpose  of  the  bill. 
These  were  the  phrase,  "Thereafter  first  pub- 
lished," confining  the  scope  to  works  published 
abroad  after  the  President's  proclamation,  and 
the  clause  regarding  reciprocity. 

The  text  of  Section  5  as  introduced  is  as 
f  ollofws : 

Sec.  5.  "That  on  and  after  the  date  of  the 
President's  proclamation  foreign  authors,  not 
residents  of  the  United  States,  who  are  citi- 
zens or  subjects  of  any  country  which  is  a 
member  of  the  International  Copyright  Union. 
or  whose  books  are  first  published  in  and  en- 
joyed copyright  protection  in  any  country 
which  is  a  member  of  the  Copyright  Union, 
shall  have  within  the  United  States  the  same 
rights  and  remedies  in  regard  to  their  works 
which  citizens  of  the  United  States  possess 
tinder  the  copyright  laws  of  the  United  States, 
and  the  enjoyment  and  the  exercise  by  such 
foreign  authors,  not  residents  of  the  United 
States,  of  the  rights  and  remedies  accorded 
by  the  copyright  laws  of  the  United  States 
shall  not  be  subject  to  any  formalities,  and 
they  shall  not  be  required  to  comply  with  the 
provisionisi  of  the  copyright  laws  of  the  United 
States  as  to  notice  of  copyright,  or  deposit  of 
copies,  and  registration : 

''Provided,  hozvever,  That  the  duration  of 
the  protection  for  such  rights  in  the  United 
States  shall  not  exceed  the  term  of  protection 
granted  in  the  country  of  which  such  foreign 
author  is  a  citizen  or  subject  or  in  the  country 
within  the  Union  in  which  such  author's  book 
was  first  published;  and  no  right  or  remedy 
given  pursuant  to  this  Act  shall  prejudice  law- 
ful acts  heretofore  done  within  the  United 
States  or  rights  in  copies  heretofore  lawfully 
made  in  the  United  States  prior  to  sUch  date." 

The  bill  has  not  been  presented  in  the 
Senate  and  it  is  possible  that  some  mooted 
points  may  have  further  discussion  before 
that  takes  place,  in  order  that  any  questions 
at  issue  may  be  as  far  as  possible  practically 
settled  before  committee  hearings,  which  are 
not  expected  to  take  place  for  some  time, 
if  at  all  during  the  present  session.  It  is 
not  expected  that  the  bill  will  be  pressed  for 
passage  untiil  the  ensuing  session  of  Con- 
gress. 

The  points  referred  to  are  in  connection 
with  Section  5  respecting  the  scope  of  pro- 
tection in  regard  to  time,  and  Section  6  as  to 
limitation  of  importations,  on  which  last  point 
publishers  and  librarians  are  not  yet  in,  agree- 
ment.

Harper  &  Brothers  Reorganize 

Famous  Franklin  Square  Building  Left  for  New  Headquarters 


THE  final  steps  that  will  lead  to  the  an- 
noimcement  of  the  newly  organized  Harper 
&  Brothers  are  now  going  forward,  and  it 
is  expected  that  within  a  month,  the  firm  will 
announce  the  selection  of  its  new  uptown  quar- 
ters. This  change  will  mark  an  important  step 
forward,  making  the  old  house  at  Franklin 
Square  a  modern  organization  concentrated  on 
the  publishing  business  as  dstinguished  from  tlv. 
aggregation  of  interests  that  had  grown  up  in 
the  old  plant  during  the  hundred  and  five  years 
of  its  history. 

As  a  result  of  this  re-organization,  the  firm 
will  now  be  practically  independent  from  the 
banking  interest  which  came  so  largely  into  the 
organization  at  the  time  of  the  crisis  in  the 
firm's  aft'airs  a  score  of  years  ago.  Mr.  Morgan 
has  ibeen  increasingly  anxious  to  leave  the  firm 
on  its  own  feet,  and  this  has  now  been  brought 
about  by  the  series  of  changes,  which  began 
with    the    -selling    of    subscription   ibusiness    to

portant men  of  the  manufacturing  department 
and  any  of  the  others  who  may  be  willing  to 
move.  Harper's  Magazine  will  be  printed 
at  the  Haddon  Press  as  well  as  many  of  the 
HarDer  books. 


A    PUBLISHING   LANDMARK.      THE   OLD    FRANKLIN 
SQUARE   BUILDING   SOON   TO    BE   VACATED. 

The  exact  location  of  the  new  quarters  for 
the  firm  in  New  York  has  not  been  settled,  and 
there  must  be  some  regrets  at  leaving  the  cen- 
tury old  landmark  in  the  downtown  district, 
difficult  as  it  has  been  for  many  of  the  firm's 
friends  to  reach.  There  is  a  possibility  of  there 
being  a  Harper  building  in  the  Grand  Central 
zone,  and  a  location  in  the  publisihing  district 
of  lower  Fifth  Avenue  is  under  consideration. 

Clinton  T.  Brainerd,  president  of  the  com- 
pany, is  abroad  at  this  time,  and  the  details  of 
the  moving  are  in  charge  of  Thomas  B.  Wells, 
vice-president  of  the  company,  and  Henry 
Hoyns,  the  secretary.  This  group  of  men  is 
now  in  complete  control  of  the  ibusiness  affairs 
of  the  company  aisi  they  have  been  in  charge  of 
its  publishing  plans  for  the  past  few  successful 
years.

Qinton  T.  Brain- 
ard,  President  of  Har- 
per &  Brothers,  was 
elected  to  this  position 
three  years  ago,  Ihav- 
ing  joined  the  organi- 
zation as  Treasurer  in 
1915.  Mr-  Brainard 
was  born  in  Colorado 
and  worked  his  way 
thru  Harvard  as  cor- 
respondent for  news- 
papers. He  is  still 
President  of  the 
Washington  Herald 
and  of  the  two  well- 
known  newspaper  syn- 
dicates, the  McClure 
and  the  Wheeler,  as 
well  as  managing  di-

publishing  firm  of 
Bigelow  &  Brown. 
These  positions  he 
still  keeps  while  he 
ably  directs  the  for- 
tunes  of   the   Harper   corporation. 

Henry  Hoyns  has  grown  up  in  the  Harper 
business,  joining  the  organization  in  1883  on 
the  city  counter,  having  made  the  acquaintance 
of   two   of   the    Harpers   while   doing   summer

born  in  Painesville, 
Ohio,  and  graduated 
from  Yale  in  1896. 
After  newspaper  ex- 
perience in  New  York 
City,  he  joined  the 
Harper  company  i  n 
1899  just  before  the 
reorganization  under 
Colonel  Harvey.  His 
first  work  was  the 
writing  of  advertise- 
ments, but  the  veteran 
editor  of  Harper's 
Magazine,  Henry 
Mills  Alden,  became 
interested  in  him  be- 
cause of  the  value  of 
the  suggestiorbs  that  he 
made  in  connection  with  the  magazine  and  had 
him  attached  to  the  magazine  in  an  editorial 
capacity.  Seven  years  ago  he  was  elected  Secre- 
tary of  the  company,  and  in  1918  Vice-Presi-

and  later  Vice  President.  He  was  one  of  the 
organizing  committee  of  the  National  Associa- 


editor-in-chief  of  Harper's  Mac/asine.  He  has 
made  frequent  trips  to  Europe  for  the  com- 
pajiy  in  the  last  fifteen  years  and  is  well  known 
to  the  authors  on  both  sides  of  the  water-  He

News  Interest  in  the  Book  Season 

ONE  of  the  special  efforts  of  the  Year 
Round  Bookselling  Committee  has  been  in 
the  direction  of  pointing  out  to  newspapers 
for  editorial  purposes  the  news  interest  of  the 
changing  book  season,  and  many  editors  have 
found  opportunity  to  comment  on  books  and 
their  increajsing  use.  An  editorial  from  the 
Muncie  Si'ar  well  expresses  the  point  of  view 
that  many  journalists  have  taken  toward  the 
book  needs  of  the  country: 

The   Spring   Book   Season 

"The  spring  book  campaign  is  now  due.  The 
publishers  and  the  boolksellers  want  people  to 
buy  more  books  and  will  endeavor  to  make 
them  acquainted  with  books  desirable  for  every 
intelligent  individual,  children,  housewives, 
workmen  of  all  classes,  professional  men,  busi- 
ness men.  There  are  books  for  every  line  of 
business,  for  students  of  each  branch  of 
science,  for  each  calling  and  profession ;  there 
are  books  for  the  home,  for  the  office;  there 
are  ibooks  to  entertain  and  to  insstruct — ^fiction, 
travel,  poetry,  biography,  history,  philosophy, 
religious  books — everything  that  any  taste  or 
need  is  likely  to  require. 

"Notwithstanding  the  wealth  of  literature 
already  provided  and  added  to  each  year,  a 
great  number  of  people  do  not  know  what  is 
to  be  had  nor  exactly  how  to  gain  the  informa- 
tion. They  have  little  leisure  for  investigation, 
are  shy  about  disclosing  their  wants  and  their 
lack  of  knowledge  in  libraries  and  bookshops, 
with  the  consequence  that  the  book  and  the 
reader  who  would  delight  in  it  often  fail  to 
get  together,  and  a  pleasure  and  a  benefit  are 
missed.  It  is  to  help  the  public  to  become 
acquainted  with  the  books  themselves  and  the 
way  to  leam  about  books  that  these  campaigns 
are  undertaken.  Nor  is  the  purpose  wholly 
commercial. 

"No  one  ever  reads  and  enjoys  a  book  but 
that  he  wishes  others  to  have  the  same  pleasure. 
Few  persons  voluntarily  enter  the  book-trade 
without  a  liking  for  books  already  acquired 
—a  liking  that  deepens  with  experience.  When 
a  publisher  brings  out  a  book  that  he  knows 
to  be  worth  while  it  is  not  wholly  a  selfish 
wish  to  make  it  a  best  seller  that  leads  him 
to  push  its  sale.  He  wants  that  book  to  go 
where  it  will  do  the  most  good.  He  wants  it 
to  be  appreciated.  The  same  is  true  of  the 
properly  equipped  bookseller.  Books  are  to 
read,  not  to  stand  on  the  shelves,  and  such  men 
mingle  their  commercial  and  professional  in- 
stincts with  a  large  measure  of  altruistic  feel- 
ing when  they  see  the  right  man  get  the  right 
lx>ok.  It  is  to  encourage  book  acquaintance 
that  the  annual  spring  campaign  is  conducted."

The  Publishers'  Weekly 

The  Apostle  of  Small  Profits 

By  Frederick  D.  Hartman 


IF  one  had  been  a  frequenter  of  the  streets  of 
London  during  the  year  1791  or  thereabouts 
he  would  have  had  many  opportunities  to 
observe  a  rather  grand  carriage  driven  about 
the  city;  and  while  there  is  nothing  so  remark- 
able in  the  sight  of  a  fine  carriage  on  the 
streets  of  London — this  one  was  striking  on 
account  of  a  motto  inscribed  on  its  doors.  This 
motto  read  as  follows : 

"Small  Profits  Do  Great  Things." 
In  this  manner  did  that  remarkable  bookseller, 
James  Lackington,  share  with  the  public  his 
secret  for  being  successful  in  business.  No 
history  of  the  development  of  bookselling 
would  be  complete  without  some  description 
of  this  man's  activities.  It  is  to  him  that  we 
of  the  present  generation  are  indebted  for  the 
method  of  disposing  of  remainders  now  in 
vogue  which  permits  many  people  to  get  most 
desirable  books  for  a  few  cents.  At  the  time 
James  Lackington  became  a  bookseller  it  was 
the  custom  for  the  bookseller  to  list  in  a  cata- 
log such  books  as  would  not  sell  well.  These 
catalogs  were  sent  in  the  form  of  invitations  to 
other  booksellers,  who  in  response  would 
gather  at  a  private  sale  and  each  purchaser  of 
a  "remainder"  would  destroy  about  75%  of  the 
copies  bought  and  sell  the  remaining  copies  at 
practically  the  published  price.  Lackington 
attended  a  number  of  these  "remainder"  par- 
ties and  conformed  to  the  generally  accepted 
practice  of  destroying  large  percentages  of  the 
remainder  lots.  Soon  however  he  resolved  to 
keep  the  entire  stock  of  such  books  and  to  sell 
them  off  at  low  prices.  It  did  not  take  long 
for  knowledge  of  this  to  spread  and  in  a  short 
time  he  sold  hundreds  of  thousands  of  volumes 
at  a  small  profit  and  netted  a  larger  sum  than 
had  he  destroyed  three  out  of  four  volumes 
and  sold  the  remainder  at  the  original  list 
price.  This  practice,  of  course,  made  him  many 
enemies  in  the  trade  and  a  large  number  of 
interesting  incidents  could  be  described  in 
which  various  attempts  were  made  to  put  him 
out  of  business.  These  all  failed,  however, 
for  the  customers  appreciated  his  methods  even 
if  the  booksellers  did  not.  Lackington  des- 
cribes in  his  memoirs  the  incident  which  led 
him  to  adopt  the  plan  of  selling  every  article 
at  the  lowest  remunerative  price.  "Mrs.  Lack- 
ington had  (bought  a  piece  of  linen;  when  the 
linen  draper's  man  brought  it  into  my  shop 
three  ladies  were  present,  and  on  seeing  the 
cloth  opened  asked  Mrs.  L.  what  it  cost  per 
yard.  On  being  told  the  price,  they  all  said  it 
was  very  cheap,  and  each  lady  went  and  pur- 
chased  the   same  quantity;   those  prices   were 


again  displayed  to  their  acquaintances  so  that 
the  linen  draper  got  a  deal  of  custom  from 
that  circumstance;  and  I  resolved  to  do  like- 
wise." 

After  having  been  in  the  business  a  few 
years  Lackingtouj  moved  into  the  country 
where  he  set  himself  up  with  a  carriage, 
horses  and  liveried  servants.  The  sight  of  this 
was  just  a  little  too  much  for  the  other  deal- 
ers, half  of  whom  maintained  he  was  going  to 
the  devil  and  his  business  would  soon  be  on 
the  auction  block — and  others  vouchsafing  that 
he  had  found  a  bank  note  of  enormous  denom- 
ination in  the  back  of  some  old  book — even 
going  so  far  as  to  name  the  book.  However, 
Lackington  gives  his  own  formula — "I  found 
the  whole  of  what  I  am  possessed  of,  in  small 
profits,  bound  by  industry  and  clasped  by 
economy."  A  few  words  as  to  the  detail  of 
his  method  may  be  of  interest.  In  every  book 
was  marked  the  cost  and  selling  price  and  as 
each  book  was  sold  an  entry  was  made  of  these, 
so  that  at  night  his  clerks  could  total  the  busi- 
ness and  see  what  the  profit  was.  Every  Sat- 
urday night  all  the  shopmen  were  given  a 
statement  showing  the  total  turnover  and 
profit.  These  amounts  were  kept  publicly,  and 
Lackington  rather  made  an  advertising  point 
of    it. 

After  some  yeans  of  successful  business 
Lackington  took  over  "The  Temple  of  the 
Muses,"  as  the  enormous  building  at  the  corner 
of  Finsbury  Square  was  called,  and  the  public 
was  invited  to  the  cheapest  bookshop  in  the 
world.  The  profits  on  thq  first  year's  trade  at 
"The  Temple  of  the  Muses"  amounted  to  $25,- 
000.  In  four  years  Lackington  retired  from 
business  having  made  a  large  fortune.  He 
died  in  1815. 

An  analysis  of  Lackington's  methods  shows 
that  he  had  a  very  keen  appreciation  of  the 
necessity  of  promotional  work  and  that  his 
enormous  trade  was  the  result  of  consistent 
developmental  work  and  not  a  case  of  luck. 
He  acquired  most  of  his  knowledge  of  books 
from  his  experience  in  writing  his  own  cata- 
logs. The  only  point  in  which  Lackington  may 
be  said  to  have  benefited  from  luck  is  that  he 
happened  to  start  his  business  at  a  time  when 
the  desire  for  knowledge  was  increasing  and 
accordingly  the  cause  and  effect  became  blend- 
ed, resulting  largely  in  Lackington's  success. 
However,  this  fact  does  not  diminish  the  credit 
due  him  for  possessing  the  alertness  to  take 
advantage  of  the  general  conditions.  Lack- 
ington estimated  in  1791  that  over  four  times 
the  number  of  books  were  sold  then  that  were 


May  6,  1922 


1273 


sold  twenty  years  previous.  The  introduction 
of  circulating  libraries  during  this  period  was 
viewed  with  genuine  alarm  by  the  booksellers. 
Lackington  investigated  this  field  very  thoroly 
and  heartily  supported  the  movement,  main- 
taining that  the  circulating  libraries  very  ma- 
terially increased  business.  He  supported  them 
on  the  policy  that  anything  which  promoted 
reading  was  beneficial  to  the  bookseller.  Possi- 
bly the  one  point  in  which  his  keenness  of  per- 
ception was  more  responsible  for  his  success, 
than  any  other,  was  his  ability  to  recognize 
that  the  returns  and  the  profits  of  cheap  pub- 
lications were  "twenty-fold  those  of  books  for 
the  rich  and  luxurious." 

Like  many  men  who  have  attained  success 
after  a  long  and  laborious  battle,  Lackington 
took  great  pride  in  his  success,  and  many 
amusing  incidents  are  described  of  his  calling 
on  some  of  his  former  employers,  leaving  his 
carriage  outside  their  doors,  while  he  entered 
and  addressed  them  with  "Pray,  Sir,  have  you 
got  any  occasion?" — this  being  the  phrase  used 
;by  journeymen  booksellers  seeking  employ- 
ment. 

The  following  quotation  from  Charles 
Knight's  description  of  his  impression  of  "The 
Temple  of  the  Muses"  gives  one  a  pretty  clear 
idea  of  the  size  of  his  establishment. 

"At  one  of  the  corners  of  Finsbury  Square, 
which  was  built  in  1789,  there  was  a  block  of 
houses  which  had  been  adapted  to  the  purposes 
of  a  great  shop  or  warehouse,  and  presented 
an  imposing  frontage,  A  dome  rises  from  the 
center,  on  the  top  of  which  a  flag  is  flying. 
This  royal  manifestation  (now  become  com- 
mon to  suburban  public-houses),  proclaims  that 
this  is  no  ordinary  commercial  establishment. 
Over  the  principal  entrance  is  inscribed  'Cheap- 
est Booksellers  in  the  World.'  It  is  the  famous 
shop  of  Lackington,  Allen,  and  Co.,  'where 
above  Half  a  Million  of  Volumes  are  con- 
stantly on  Sale.*  We  enter  the  vast  area, 
whose  dimensions  are  to  be  measured  by  the 
assertion  that  a  coach  and  six  might  be  driven 
around  it.  In  the  centre  is  an  enormous  cir- 
cular counter,  within  which  stand  the  dis- 
pensers of  knowledge,  ready  to  wait  upon  the 
country  clergyman,  in  his  wig  and  shovel^hat; 
upon  the  fine  ladies,  in  feathers  and  trains; 
or  upon  the  bookseller's  collector,  with  his  dirty 
bag.  If  there  is  any  chaflfering  about  the  cost 
of  a  work,  the  shopman  points  to  the  follow- 
ing inscription:  'The  lowest  price  is  marked 
on  every  Book,  and  no  abatement  made  on  any 
article.'  We  ascend  a  broad  staircase,  which 
leads  to  'The  Lounging  Rooms,'  and  to  the 
first  of  a  series  of  circular  galleries,  lighted 
from  the  lantern  of  the  dome,  which  also  lights 
the  ground  floor.  Hundreds,  even  thousands, 
of  volumes  are  displayed  on  the  shelves  run- 
ning round  their  walls.     As  we  mount  higher 


and  higher,  we  find  commoner  books,  in  shab- 
bier bindings ;  but  there  is  still  the  same  order 
preserved,  each  book  being  numbered  accord- 
ing to  a  printed  catalog.  This  is  larger  than 
that  of  any  other  bookseller's,  and  it  comes 
out  yearly.  The  formation  of  such  an  estab- 
lishment as  this  assumes  a  remarkable  power 
of  organization,  as  well  as  a  large  command 
of  capital.  I  daresay  I  wearied  my  father 
with  questions  about  this  wonderful  Mr.  Lack- 
ington, marvelling  how  rich  he  must  have  been ; 
how  learned!  He  might  have  answered  my 
enquiries  by  showing  me  a  very  common  print 
with  this  inscription:  'J.  Lackington,  who  a 
few  years  since  began  Bookselling  with  five 
pounds,  now  sells  one  hundred  thousand  vol- 
umes yearly;  or,  the  Cobbler  turned  book- 
seller.' " 

Business  Gains  for  April 

I  MPROVED  business  conditions  in  April  and 
A  a  changed  mental  attitude  among  manufac- 
turers and  wholesalers  in  various  sections  are 
indicated  by  figures  made  public  yesterday  by 
the  National  Association  of  Credit  Men. 

From  a  questionnaire  sent  to  leading  manu- 
facturers and  wholesalers  in  various  sections 
the  following  conclusions  have  been  noted  by 
the  association: 

''Comparing  sales  in  dollars  for  March,  1922, 
with  those  of  February,  1922,  78  per  cent  re- 
ported better  sales,  13  per  cent  stationary  and 
9  per  cent  worse. 

"In  the  collections  of  March,  1922,  as  com- 
pared with  February,  1922,  59  per  cent  re- 
ported improvement,  34  per  cent  stationary  and 
7  per  cent  worse." 

The  "favorable  factors"  are  summed  up  as 
if  ol  lows : 

"A  further  increase  in  the  prices  of  farm 
products  and  a  stability  in  the  prices  of  other 
products. 

"Increase  in  employment  and  a  reduction  in 
some  wage  rates.  An  increase  in  per  capita 
earnings,  which  means  increased  buying*  power 
for  the  wihole  country. 

"An  increase  in  the  production  of  basic 
commodities. 

^Tremendous    increases    in    construction. 

"The  net  earnings  of  railroads  show  an  im- 
provement." 

Here  are  the  "unfavorable   factors" : 

"The  coal  strike,  which  at  this  time  shows 
no  sign  of  settlement,  and  the  unadjusted  tex- 
tile strike. 

"The  impending  bonus  legislation,  which,  in 
spite  of  the  President's  declaration,  seems 
likely  to  be  passed  by  the  Senate. 

"The    impending    tariff    legislation. 

"The  continued  inability  of  farmers  to  buy  in 
former  quantities."

New  York  Publishers'  Baseball  League 
Clearing  Decks  for  Action 


THE  crack  of  the  baseball  bat  is  again 
heard  over  the  land,  and  no  combination 
of  ball  players  is  looking  forward  more 
anxiously  for  the  opening  games  of  their  re- 
spective leagues  than  are  the  teams  entered  in 
the  1922  race  for  the  pennant  of  the  New  York 
Publishers-   Baseball  League. 

Scheduled  to  open  the  season  early  in  May, 
spring  practice  is  now  on  in  earnest,  with  try- 
outs  taking  place  almost  daily.  Candidates 
for  the  various  teamrs  are  working  hard  to 
make  good  so  as  to  secure  places  on  the  regular 
teams  that  will  eventually  be  selected  to  repre- 
sent their  houses  in  the  coming  campaign. 

The  season  of  1921  was  played  out  success- 
fully, critical  year  as  it  was,  for  it  was  the 
first  time  (after  many  attempts)  that  a  season 
of  regularly  scheduled  games  was  started  and 
ended  with  the  league  intact.  It  commenced  a 
little  unsteadily,  but  after  it  warmed  up,  and 
the  first  experimental  stages  had  been  passed, 
the  league  became  firm  on  its  feet  and  is  now 
established  on  a  strong  business  and  financial 
basis.  Great  credit  is  due  the  men  in  the  trade 
who  carried  the  idea  thru  and  to  whose  efforts 
the  present  success  of  the  league  is  due. 

The  New  Yofk  Pdblishers'  Baseball  League 
is  governed  by  a  Board  of  Control  composed 
of  the  manager  and  a  player  from  each  team 
in  the  league,  whose  authority  is  derived  from 
the  league's  Constitution  and  By-Laws.  Its 
field  activities  are  controlled  by  comprehensive 
playing  rules.  The  games  are  well  fought  out, 
firmly  controlled  as  they  are  by  these  governing 
powers  and  the  disciplinary  organization  that 
supports  them. 

The  officers  of  the  league  are  elected  annu- 
ally by  the  Board  of  Control  and  are  for  the 
season  of  1922:  President,  Paul  A.  Schoch,  of 
th0  McGraw-Hill  Co.;  Vice-President,  Wilmot 
Gordon  of  the  Oxford  University  Press; 
Secretary,  J.  F.  Burke  of  the  McGraw  Hill 
Co. ;  and  Treasurer,  J.  N.  Cummings  of  D. 
Appleton  Co. 

This  coming  season  finds  the  following  eight 
firms  entering  teams  in  the  contest.  McGraw- 
Hill  Co.,  winner  of  the  flag  and  cup  for  1921, 
Harper  Brothers,  D.  Appleton  Co.,  Brentano's, 
Oxford  University  Press,  Methodist  Book  Con- 
cern, Grosset  and  Dunlap,  Doubleday,  Page 
Co. 

Action  has  already  been  taken  relative  to 
playing  several  inter-city  games,  with  teams 
representing  publishing  houses,  at  the  end  of 
the  season.  It  is  proposed  that  the  pennant 
winners  of  the  New  York  League  play  in  Bos- 
ton and  Philadelphia. 


As  an  added  interest  to  the  games  in  New 
York,  arrangements  are  under  way  to  have, 
at  times,  men  prominent  in  the  literary  world 
who  are  authorities  and  lovers  of  the  game 
officiate  as  umpires. 

Edward  Bok,  on  page  147  of  his  autobiog- 
raphy, writes  of  an  old  Scribner  ball  team  for 
which  he  pitclied-  Such  men  of  present 
prominence  in  the  publishing  field  were  fellow 
players,  Frank  N.  Doubleday,  William  D.  Mof- 
fat, Ernest  Dressel  North,  Ray  Safford  and 
Owen  W.  Brewer. 

From  the  roister  of  the  players  on  the  teams 
of  the  Publishers'  League  of  192 1  and  1922, 
there  are,  no  doubt,  young  men  who  will  ac- 
quire a  place  in  the  publishers'  hall  of  fame, 
and  perhaps  some  biographer  of  forty  or  fifty 
years  hence  will  pleasantly  recall  them  to  the 
memories  of  their  associates  as  Bok  recalled 
those  of  his  day. 

Retail  Reports 

THE  Federal  Reserve  District  for  New  York 
reports  8%  less  department  store  business 
for  the  month  of  March,  1922,  as  compared  with 
last  year.  This  decline  has  been,  it  proves, 
entirely  due  to  the  apparel  departments,  which, 
on  account  of  the  cold  spring  and  the  late 
Easter,  have  been  slow  in  starting  up.  The 
sales  of  house  furnishings  have  gone  well 
ahead  of  last  year.  The  announcement  of 
actual  transactions  has  been  3.8%  above  last 
year,  the  average  sale  being  $2.71  as  compared 
to  $3.03  in  192 1. 

An  Adventure  in  International 
Fellowship 

ANEW  ''adventure  in  international  fellow- 
ship" was  recently  begun  in  this  country 
when  the  American  Centre  of  the  P.  E.  N. 
Club  held  its  first  dinner.  The  club,  an  inter- 
national association  of  poets,  playwrights, 
editors,  essayists,  and  novelists,  was  founded 
in  London,  in  October  of  last  year,  to  meet 
the  need  for  an  organization  thru  which  the 
literary  workers  of  various  countries  could 
meet  socially  members  of  their  fraternity  both 
of  their  own  land  and  of  others.  John  Gials- 
worthy  is  president  of  the  London  Centre  and 
Anatole  France  of  the  French.  The  president 
of  the  American  Centre  is  Booth  Tarkington. 

Every  so  often  somebody  tries  to  break  up 
our  library  by  urging  a  "Return  Borrowed 
Books   Week."  — Kansas   City   Star.

Wedding  Gifts 

THE  wedding  gift  business  is  becoming  more 
of  a  book  business  each  year.  Newspapers 
have  told  the  story  of  the  Princess  Mary's 
wedding  gifts,  dwelling  upon  the  fact  that 
every  tenth  present  was  a  book.  The  Woman's 
Home  Companion  in  the  recent  April  issue  car- 
ried an  important  editorial  on  "A  Unique  'Hope 
Chest'  "  which  has  sent  many  friends  of  brides 
into  the  bookstores.  Good  Housekeeping's 
article  by  Henry  H.  Say  lor,  in  the  May  issue, 
features  "Home  Building  Books,"  which  are 
practical  wedding  gift  suggestions.  The  poster 
to  be  mailed  May  15  is  a  portrait  photograph 
with  the  wording  "Will  the  New  Home  Have 
Books  "  Dealers  can  use  all  types  of  books  as 
suggestions  for  wedding  gifts.  A  window  dis- 
play might  show  a  model  home  library,  or  books 
for  a  bride's  sihower. 

A  Correction 

THE  account  of  the  War  Department's  ad- 
vertisements for  bids  on  two  thousand  vol-'; 
umes  to  be  sold  was  confused  as  it  appeared' 
in  the  April  22  Publishers'  Weekly.  The 
heading  read  NavY  Department  but  the  books 
were  offered  by  the  Army  from  the  Brooklyn 
Depot  as  indicated  in  the  text.

Hugh  Walpole  in  Fall  Lectures 

THE  possibility  of  the  bookseller  entering 
the  field  as  the  promoter  of  lectures  on 
books  has  been  getting  much  consideration  in 
the  past  two  years,  and  there  could  be  no  one 
in  a  community  who  would  be  in  more  com- 
plete touch  with  those  who  would  be  interested 
in  such  lecturds  and  who  could  have  a  more 
continuing  reason  for  promoting  their  success. 
What  would  seem  to  he  an  interesting  oppor- 
tunity to  take  such  an  interest  is  suggested  by 
the  announcement  that  Hugh  Walpole  is  to  turn 
to  the  American  lecture  platform  next  October 
with  a  series  of  six  lectures  on  "The  English 
Novel  of  the  Twentieth  Century."  The  series 
will  consist  of  i.  An  Introductory  Lecture;  2, 
Thomas  Hardy;  3,  Joseph  Conrad;  4,  The 
Realists-Bennett,  Wells  and  Galsworthy ;  5,  The 
Younger  Generation — Mackenzie,  Beresford, 
Swinnerton,  Lawrence,  May  Sinclair,  Kaye- 
Smith,  Ethel  Sidgwick,  Rose  Macaulay,  etc; 
6,  Conclusion  and  Prophecy,  The  lectures  are 
under  the  management  of  Lee  Keedick,  of  437 
Fifth  Avenue,  New  York. 

Already  the  Hampshire  Bookshop  at  North- 
ampton, Mass.,  has  underwritten  the  series  for 
October  dates  and  has  taken  a  high  school  hall, 


announcing  a  course  ticket  of  $6  and  single 
tickets  of  $1.65.  Mr.  Walpole  has  not  ap- 
peared in  this  country  since  1920,  when  he  at- 
tracted large  audiences  and  made  a  host  of 
friends. 

The  Hampshire  Bookshop  has  become  so 
much  interested  in  the  possibilities  of  lectures 
as  an  adjunct  to  the  work  that  they  are  also 
taking  over  the  lecture  management  of  Grace 
Hazard  Conkling,  whose  lectures  on  poetry 
have  always  created  such  interest,  and  book- 
sellers who  would  be  interested  to  plan  for 
dates  in  1922  can  get  particulars  from  the 
manager  of  the  Hampshire  Bookshop,  Marion 
E.  Dodd.  Her  terms  for  lectures  are  $100,  and 
expenses,  and  she  announces  such  subjects  as 
"Studies  in  Contemporary  Poetry,  illustrated 
by  reading;"  "The  Poetry  of  Robert  Frost  and 
Edward  Thomas ;"  "The  Poems  of  John  Mase- 
field;"  "Imagination  and  Children's  Reading," 
etc. 

John  Martin's  Book  House  at  33  West 
49th  Street,  New  York,  will  now  be  mtore  ex- 
tensively than  before  independent  publishers  of 
juvenile  books,  and  John  Martin's  Big  Book 
Number  Six  as  well  as  the  Chubby  Book  and 
others  will  be  pulblished  in  that  office.  The  firm 
has  now  a  trade  catalog  out  including  its  books.

Women  and  Bookselling 

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


PlRHAPS  there  is  no  organization  in  New 
York  which  ha)a  done  so  much  constructive 
work  for  its  members  as  that  accomplished 
by  the  Women's  National  Book  Association, 
which  started  with  a  mere  handful  of  enthusias- 
tic women  five  years  ago,  and  which  found  the 
quarters  much  too  small  for  their  last  meeting 
at  the  Children's  Bookshop  on  April  20th  last. 

It  was  at  this  meeting  that  Margaret  Widde- 
mer  and  Cosmo  Hamilton  addressed  the  mem- 
bers, the  former  reading  from  her  poetical 
works  and  the  latter  giving  his  views  as  to  the 
present  conditions  of  the  book-trade  in  Eng- 
land and  America, 

Miss  Widdemer  read  delightfully  from  her 
;mipublished  works,  first  a  series  of  child 
rhymes,  and  later  from  the  parodies  which  will 
be  published  early  next  fall  under  the  title  'A 
Treej  With  a  Bird  In  It."  Not  only  did  Miss 
Widdemer  write  these  verses  after  the  manner 
of  various  well-knowns,  but  in  reading  them 
mimicked  their  own  style  of  rendition,  Edna 
St.  Vincent  Millay,  Jessie  Rittenhouse,  Witter 
Binner,  Hilda  Conkling,  Amy  Lowell,  Robert 
Frost,  the  Benets,  Vachel  Lindsay  and  others. 

Cosmo  Hamilton  devoted  much  of  his  talk 
to  the  furthering  of  the  books  of  unknown 
authors.  He  made  an  eloquent  plea  for  more 
consideration  for  "first  books,"  stating  that 
many  of  them  represented  the  greatest  hopes 
of  their  writers,  and  that  booksellers  should 
turn  a  little  more  of  their  attention  to  those 
who  are  juist  appearing.  He  pointed  out  that 
many  gems  perished  on  the  shelves  simply  for 
the  want  of  publisher's  publicity,  interest  of 
the  bookseller  and  a  Heywood  Broun.  Mr. 
Hamilton  told  the  story  of  the  writing  of  "The 
Rustle  of  Silk,"  which  got  its  title,  by  the 
way,  when  the  author  stopped  to  admire  a 
display  of  beautifully  colored  and  shimmery 
silks  in  the  window  of  a  famous  manufacturer. 
This  book  was,  the  author  said,  an  experiment, 
in  which  he  tried  to  fight  his  way  clear  from 
the  rules  set  down  by  magazine  editors,  whose 
dictation  a  writer  is  often  compelled  to  follow 
in  order  to  give  the  public  the  kind  of  fiction 
the  editor  thinks  his  readers  will  want.  Mr. 
Hamilton  classified  "The  Rustle  of  Silk"  as  a 
fairy  tale,  and  was  awaiting  the  verdict  of 
the  critics  upon  his  new  style  of  story  telling. 
A  sequel  to  "Scandal"  has  been  started,  in 
which  he  said  he  was  going  to  break  ALL  the 
rules  laid  down  for  story  writing,  as  far  as 
the  construction  of  plot  went.  When  asked 
what  he  thought  of  American  bookshops,  Mr. 
Hamilton  replied  that  without  a  doubt  they 
were  the  finest  in  the  world.    That  here,  much 


more  time  is  given  to  the  education  of  the  book- 
clerk  and  also  much  care  to  the  proper  classifi- 
cation of  stocks,  with  competent  people  in 
charge  of  each  subject.  He  compared  Ameri- 
can shops  to  those  in  England,  where  he  stated 
little  or  no  time  is  spent  by  the  public  in  places 
where  new  books  are  sold.  The  public  there, 
he  said,  seemed  to  be  content  in  passing  a  book 
among  their  friends,  and  he  pointed  out  that 
sudh  private  book  iborrowing  was  not  condusive 
to  very  large  sales,  of  even  the  most  popular 
novels.  He  pointed  out  that  the  average  Eng- 
lish book-clerk  is  not  interested  in  knowing 
either  the  contents  of  the  volumes,  or  making 
the  acquaintance  of  his  customers  who  wish  to 
buy  them.  In  other  words,  there  is  not  that 
deep  personal  interest  ohown  in  the  wants  of 
the  customer,  that  there  is  in  America. 

At  the  close  of  the  meeting  Mr.  Hamilton 
graciously  autographed  copies  of  his  new  booik 
which  had  been  presented  at  the  annual  dinner 
of  the  Association,  by  Little,  Brown  &  Co. 

Two  members  of  the  Women's  National 
Book  Association  have  recently  come  into  prom- 
inence thru  their  talents.  Sophie  Kerr*  Under- 
wood has  one  of  her  stories  included  in  the 
O.  Henry  Memorial  Award  prize  stories  for 
1921,  chosen  by  the  Society  of  Arts  and 
Sciences.  "Wild  Earth,"  which  first  appeared 
in  The  Sahirday  Evening  Post,  was  given 
honorable  mention.  Kate  McLaurin,  whose 
play  "When  We  Are  Young,"  enjoyed  a  Broad- 
way succe^  in  1920- '21,  has  launched  a  new 
play,  **Wh'ispering  Wires,"  which  had  its 
premier  at  Atlantic  City,  N.  J.,  on  April  17th. 
The  dramatic  critics  were  most  enthusiastic, 
and  some  of  them  ventured  an  opinion  that  this 
new  thriller  would  hold  the  interest  of  Broad- 
way for  a  long  time. 

Hugh  Lofting,  author  of  "Doctor  Doolittle," 
gave  an  informal  reading  of  his  new  book, 
"The  Voyages  of  Doctor  Doolittle,"  at  the 
children's  book  department  in  Best  and  Com- 
pany, New  York,  on  April  7th,  to  an  audience 
made  up  entirely  of  children,  who  let  the  autihor 
know  in  no  uncertain  way  that  they  liked  the 
story.  Toward  the  end  of  the  afternoon,  one 
little  chap  about  five  years  old,  got  right  up 
in  meetin'  and  exclaimed  excitedly,  "Gee,  that's 
a  good  story!"  Miiss  Cugel  is  the  manager  of 
this  shop. 

According  to  Cosmo  Hamilton,  the  only 
civilized  spot  in  Hollywood,  California,  is  the 
Hollywood  Bookshop.  It  is  here,  according  to 
Mr.  Hamilton,  that  a  book-buyer  gets  the 
highest  type  of  service,  and  here  also,  he  as- 
serts, the  browser  finds  a  paradise.

Frederick  Van  Rensselaer  Dey,  a  prolific 
writer  of  fiction,  committed  suicide  at  the 
Hotel  Brozell,  in  New  York,  on  April  26th. 
He  was  born  in  1865,  and  in  early  life  intended 
to  be  a  lawyer,  but  gave  up  this  objective  to 
engage  in  writing.  Since  1890  he  is  said  to 
have  written  nearly  eleven  hundred  "Nick

poration, and  under  his  own  name  he  pub- 
lished "A  Gentleman  of  Quality,"  "The  Magic

five  different  pseudonyms,  Ross  Beekman,

American  fiction.  The  author  followed  his 
hero's  career  thru  more  than  thirty  years.

Let  No  Vain  Man  Escape 

THE  many  plans  that  have  been  made  at 
various  times  for  biographical  dictionaries 
based  on  group  interest  and  the  appeal  to  per- 
sonal vanity  have  received  their  final  expan- 
sion in  a  series  entitled  "Herringshaw's  Ameri- 
can Blue  Book  of  Biography."  to  be  Issued 
in  twelve  different  parts  with  such  names  as 
"American  Merchant  and  Manufacturer," 
"American  Clergyman  and  Theologian,"  etc. 
When  the  various  books  are  ready,  the  plan 
seems  to  be  to  send  a  bill  to  everyone  men- 
tioned in  the  book,  stating  that  a  copy  of  the 
appropriate  volume  can  be  had  for  $10.  The 
first  volume  is  entitled  "American  Elite  and 
Sociologist,"  sociologist  being  a  word  that  is 
intended  to  cover  anyone  who  cannot  well  fall 
into  other  established  classifications.  To  quote 
the  paragraph  of  explanation  on  the  bill : 

"The  main  purpose  of  this  work  is  to  give  in 
the  most  concise  and  impartial  manner,  within 
convenient  space  and  in  biographical  form,  the 
full  name,  birth,  education  and  services  of 
those  who  are  identified  in  any  capacity  with 
the  social  and  material  development  of  our  be- 
loved commonwealth,  etc.  Inclusion  is  con- 
sidered a  criterion  of  distinction.  Price  ten 
dollars.  Now  ready  for  delivery  and  containing 
your  biography-"

Rare  Books,  Autographs  and  Prints 


ANEW  book  by  George  Moore  in  a  limited 
edition  entitled  "In  Strict  Singleness : 
Theme  and  Variations"  is  announced  by 
Heinemann  of  London,  and  Boni  &  Liveright 
of  New  York.  The  fir(st  five  volumes  of  a 
definitive  limited  edition  of  the  "Complete 
Works"  of  George  Moore  will  be  published 
next  month.  This  set  will  contain  two  volumes 
never  published  before. 

The  April  number  of  the  Brooklyn  Public 
Library  Bidletin  contains  a  list  of  the  writings 
covering  nine  pages  of  Edward  Everett  Hale 
printed  to  meet  the  interest  created  by  the 
recent  centenary  of  his  birth. 

The  May  num'ber  of  Scribner's  Magazine 
contains  an  article  of  thirteen  pages  written 
by  William  Harris  Arnold  on  "My  Tennysons" 
which  collectors  cannot  afford  to  miss.  It  is 
illustrated  with  portraits,  facsimiles  of  title- 
pages  and  manuscripts  and  is  packed  with  in- 
teresting bibliographical  information. 

Eleven  letters  from  George  W.  Eveleth  to 
Edgar  Allan  Pbe,  not  included  in  the  collection 
given  by  the  Griswold  family  to  the  Boston 
Public  Library,  are  printed  in  the  current  num- 
ber of  the  New  York  Public  Library  Bulletin 
and  will  'be  of  interest  to  Poe  collectors. 

The  current  number  of  the  Quarterly  Bulle- 
tin of  the  Boston  Public  Library  contains  a 
description  of  the  Bowditch  library  and  of  the 
original  city  charter  of  Boston.  The  frontis- 
piece is  a  reproduction  of  the  Stuart  portrait 
of  Nathaniel  Bowditch  and  there  is  a  folded 
reproduction  of  the  original  city  charter  which 
is  written  on  vellum. 

An  exhibition  of  Whistler  prints  will  be  on 
view  in  the  Print  Gallery  of  the  New  Yonk 
Public  Library  from  May  i  until  autumn.  The 
exhibition  has  been  in  a  measure  selective, 
with  the  aim  of  making  a  display,  not  too  large, 
of  prints  showing  the  development  of  W'histler's 
art  with  a  longer  time  than  usual  to  study  it. 

Edward  L.  Wenrick,  51  East  87th  Street, 
who  has  for  many  years  made  a  specialty  of 
sporting  books,  has  just  issued  a  catalog  of 
rare  and  practical  books  on  horses,  horse 
racing,  steeple  chasing,  fox  hunting,  coaching 
and  other  out-of-door  sports.  Special  atten- 
tion is  given  to  rare  hand  colored  prints  of 
thorobred  horses,  fox  hunting,  and  coach- 
ing incidents.  It  is  one  of  the  largest  cata- 
logs of  its  kind  that  has  appeared  for  a 
long  time. 


The  recent  sale  at  Sotheby's,  in  London,  of 
the  autograph  manuscript  of  Joseph  Henry 
Shorthouse's  "John  Inglesant"  revealed  the 
fact  that  Shorthouise  offered  the  manuscript 
originally  to  James  Payn  who  rejected  it  owing 
to  "its  being  defective  in  structure  and  lacking 
in  popularity."  It  was  then  printed  privately 
and  became  "extremely  popular"  as  soon  ais  it 
became  known  that  jGladstone  had  read  it  with 
approval.  Within  ten  years  it  won  the  title 
of  "outstanding  historical  romance  of  the  nine- 
teenth century."  , 

One  of  the  most  important  sales  of  etchings 
of  the  year  in  this  country  was  that  of  the  col- 
lection of  William  M.  Bullivant  of  Boston, 
sold  a  few  days  ago  at  the  American  Art 
Galleries,  the  229  prints  ibringing  $57,432.50. 
A  fine  impression  of  Haden's  "A  By-Road  in 
Tipperary"  in  the  second  of  two  states  brougiit 
the  highest  price,  $2,350.  The  next  was 
Whistler's  "The  Beggars,"  one  of  the  Vene- 
tian series,  a  third  state  impression  limited 
to  nine  copies,  printed  by  the  artist  and  signed 
with  the  butterfly. 

Rare  books,  illuminated  and  other  manu- 
scripts and  autograph  letters,  the  property  of 
T.  B.  Bruton,  Sir  Edward  Marshall  Hall, 
Reginald  H.  Leon,  the  late  Lewis  Fry  and 
others,  will  be  sold  at  Sotheby's,  in  London, 
May  22  and  2^.  The  rarer  items  include  a  note 
book  by  Joseph  Addison,  La  Fontaine's  "Con- 
tes,"  1762;  the  First,  Second  and  Fourth  Folios 
of  Shakespeare ;  first  editions  of  the  works  of 
Dickens  in  parts;  collected  firlst  editions  of 
Stevenson,  Hardy,  Wilde  and  other  modern 
authors ;  twenty- four  autograph  letters  written 
by  Dr.  Samuel  Johnson ;  and  interesting  auto- 
graph letters  by  Scott,  Sheridan,  Lord  Nelson, 
Lord  Byron,  Stevenson,  Reade,  Swinburne  and 
others. 

A  portion  of  the  library  of  the  late  William 
Winter,  consisting  of  books,  pamphlets,  letters 
and  dramatic  memorabilia,  and  association 
relics,  was  sold  at  the  Walpole  Galleries,  366 
lots  bringing  about  $5,000.  The  outstanding 
lot  was  a  William  Winter  Testimonial  given 
at  the  Century  Theatre,  March  14,  1916,  con- 
taining an  engrosised  letter  signed  by  300  men 
and  women  representing  every  walk  of  life, 
remarkable,  it  is  said,  as  toeing  the  only  docu- 
ment in  existence  which  bears  the  signatures 
of  Woodrow  Wilson,  Theodore  Roosevelt  and 
William  H.  Taft — the  victor  and  the  defeated 
in  the  presidential  campaign  of  1908 — which 
broug^ht  $2,050.  The  prompt  book  of  Shake- 
speare's    "Twelfth     Night,"     used    at     Daly's

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Theatre  during  the  long  run  of  the  first  and 
subsequent  revivals,  interleaved  and  annotated, 
with  the  final  cuts  and  stage  directions,  mainly 
in  the  handwriting  of  Augustin  Daly,  with  a 
preface  by  William  Winter,  New  York,  1893, 
presented  to  Winter  by  Ada  Rehan,  brought 
$460;  and  the  music  for  the  "Twelfth  Night," 
arranged  by  the  late  Henry  Widener  for  Daly 
and  containing  the  conductor's  score  with  parts 
for  various  orchestral  instruments,  $500.  Prices 
were  not  all  high.  Many  desirable  association 
items  went  for  very  moderate  prices. 

If  there  are  any  autograph  collectors  reading 
these  pages  who  are  not  receiving  Thomas  F. 
Madigan's  Autograph  Bulletin  (8  West  47th 
Street,  this  city),  they  should  write  and  have 
their  names  placed  upon  his  mailing  list  at  once 
for  they  cannot  afford  to  miss  it.  The  current 
number  contains  some  extraordinary  literary 
and  historical  letters,  and  the  full  descriptions 
and  long  extracts  of  many  letters  that  have 
never  been  printed  before  are  very  interesting. 
The  presidents  are  all  represented  by  one  or 
more  letters  and  some  of  great  historical  value. 
There  is  a  long  letter  written  by  General 
Zachary  Taylor  from  Mexico  during  the  Mexi- 
can War  that  throws  a  flood  of  light  upon 
military  affairs  at  the  time,  and  there  is  an- 
other by  Theodore  Roosevelt  aibout  President 
Lincoln  in  which  he  says :  "As  the  years  roll 
by,  and  as  all  of  us,  wherever  we  dwell,  grow 
to  feel  an  equal  pride  in  the  valor  and  self 
devotion,  alike  of  the  men  who  wore  the  blue 
and  of  the  men  who  wore  the  gray,  so  the 
whole  nation  shall  grow  to  feel  a  peculiar 
sense  of  pride  in  the  lover  of  his  country  and 
of  all  mankind;  the  men  whose  blood  was  shed 
for  the  unEonj  of  his  people  and  the  freedom 
of  a  race;  the  mightiest  of  the  mighty  men 
who  mastered,  the  mighty  days — Abraham  Lin- 
coln."

Attention,  Mr.  Bookseller : 

We  have  secured  a  limited  number  of  sets 
of  the  complete  works  of  Ambrose  Bierce. 

This  author's  works  are  well-known  to  the 
bookseller  and  it  has  been  almost  impossible 
to  secure  sets  for  the  past  few  years.  Dealers 
have  advertised  in  these  columns  in  their 
search  for  them  and  few  have  been  located. 

While  they  last  we  offer  these  sets  to  the 
trade  at  remarkably  lew  prices  for  this  beau- 
tiful set  of  books. 

The  set  is  in  12  volumes,  handsomely  bound 
in  Art  Cloth,  Board  Sides  and  Paper  Label 
Titles,  prices  as  follows:

Another  Remarkable  New  Book 
STAMPED  WITH 

ALCHEMIC  GOLD 

Published  b^  Funk  &   Wagnalls  Company,  New  York 

A  feature  volume  of  great  interest  to  the  read- 
ing public  in  contents,  illustrations,  and  general  ap- 
peairance. 

To  the  bookseller,  it  is  of  special  significance  not 
only  as  a  rapid  seller,  with  an  artistic,  attractive  jacket 
in  three  colors,  but  because  of  the  attention  the  cover 
is  bound  to  attract  stamped  with 

ALCHEMIC  GOLD 

This  new  compound,  the  result  of  long  and  careful 
scientific  research  and  experimentation,  is  a  practical  substi- 
tute for  genuine  gold  and  imitation  gold  leaf  that  will  not  tarn^ 
ish,  rub  nor  lose  its  lustre. 

Examine  a  copy  of  "Sergeant  York  and  His  People/ 'com- 
pare it  with  gold  or  imitation  gold  stampings  on  other  volumes, 
and  see  for  yourself  what  a  remarkable  achievement 
Alchemic  Gold  really  is. 

Publishers  are  requested  to  carefully  investigate  this 
new,  more  economical,  and  highly  satisfactory  method  of 
securing  gold  effects  on  the  stamped  covers  of  new  volumes 
or  new  editions.     Send  for  samples  to

THE  public,  which  almost  means  those 
about  to  become  radio  fans  and  those 
already  radio  fans,  have  been  waiting  for 
a  book  with  these  points: — 

(1)  A  carefully  organized  and  a  carefully 

written  book  on  which  the  authors 
have  put  all  the  time  necessary  to 
make  it  right. 

(2)  A    book    by    authors    thoroughly    ac- 

quainted with  radio  and  also  with  the 
art  of  presenting  information  attrac- 
tively. 

(3)  A  complete  radio  book,  presenting  radio 

on  its  practical  side,  telling  fans  what 

to  do  and  what  not  to  do,  and  also 

giving  the  fascinating  background  of 

the  subject. 

Well,  "The  Complete  Radio  Book,"  which  we 

shall  publish  on  May  26,  is  that  book.    It  has 

everything — completeness,  accuracy,  helpful 

practicality    and    readability.     The    authors 

have  taken  plenty  of  time  to  write  it.    They 

were  extraordinarily"  well  equipped  to  do  it — 

one  being  a  practical  radio  engineer,  the  other 

a  popular  scientific  writer.

A  New  Manual  of  Corporation  Law,   Finance,  and  Accounting 

CORPORATION  PROCEDURE 

By  THOMAS  CONYNGTQN,  of  the  New  York  Bar;  R.  J,  BENNETT, 
C.P.A.,  Member  American  Institute  of  Accountants;  HUGH  R.  CONYNG- 
TON,  Chairman  of  the  Boardj  The  Ronald  Press  Company;  and  PAUL  W. 
PINKERTON,  C.P.A.,  Manager  Commercial  Department,  Cofl&eld,  Sanders 
&   Company,   Indianapolis. 

In  this  manual  the  authors  have  combined  material  from  three  works,  each  recognized 
as  a  standard  seller — "Corporate  Organization  and  Management,"  "Business  Finance,"  and 
"Corporation  Accounting."  This  material  has  been  brought  thoroughly  up-to-date  and 
much  new  matter  added.  The  price  of  the  book — $10.00 — is  so  small  as  compared  with 
the  amazing  amount  of  material  in  its  1,815  pages  that  no  bookseller  should  fail  to 
grasp  the  splendid  selling  opportunity  it  presents. 


An  Indispensable  Manual 

In  this  one  great  volume  are  concentrated 
full,  definite,  and  auhoritative  counsel  and 
working  methods  covering  each  of  the  three 
important  problems  of  corporation  manage- 
ment— ^Law,  Finance  and  Accounting.  Cor- 
poration officials,  lawyers,  accountants, 
bankers,  investors,  and  others  interested  in 
corporate  management  and  procedure  will 
find  it  exceedingly  helpful  in  their  work. 
"Corporation  Procedure"  carries  the  reader 
through  the  entire  procedure  of  incorpor- 
ating an  enterprise,  and  shows  what  should 
be  done  at  every  point  in  organizing  and 
managing  corporation  affairs.  It  cites  and 
interprets  the    law   and   gives   authoritative 


of  Corporate  Management 

advice.  (267  corporate  forms  are  included, 
the  most  complete  list  ever  brought  together 
between  two  covers.) 

The  book  goes  right  to  the  heart  of  cor- 
porate finance,  shows  how  to  put,  an  enter- 
prise in  ishape,  how  to  promote  it,  and  how 
to  secure  capital  on  a  favorable  basis. 
It  gives  clear,  detailed  examples,  fully 
worked  out,  covering  practically  every  situ- 
ation in  corporation  accounting  and  points 
out  changes  in  accounting  technic  necessi- 
tated   by   modern    developments.

AMERICAN   COMMERCIAL  CREDITS 

By  WILBERT  WARD,  Assistant  Cashier,   National  City  Bank  of  New 
York    City;    Chairman,    Committee    on  Standard  Letter  of  Credit  Forms, 
American    Acceptance    Council. 

This  book  presents  the  findings  of  the  American  Acceptance  Council,  an  important 
organization  which  has  bent  its  efforts  to  draw  up  uniform  forms  and  practices  for  those 
using  American  letters  of  credit.  Because  it  gives  the  first  full  and  authoritative  discussion 
of  this  subject  the  volume  will  be  in  demand' by  bankers,  exporters,  lawyers,  and  students 
of  international  trade. 


The  purpose  of  the  book  is  to  point  the  way 
to  a  more  beneficial  uise  of  the  letter  of 
credit,  and  to  show  the  indispensable  part 
it  will  play  in  tihe  development  of  our 
foreign  trade.  The  author  analyzes  the 
legal  nature  of  the  credit,  the  purpose  it  is 
intended  to  serve,  the  rights  and  liabilities 
of  the   several   parties,   the   defects   in  the 


1922. 


practice  of  issuing  bills  of  lading,  and  otlier 
questions  that  have  (been  the  subject  of 
much  dispute.  Forms  recommended  by  the 
committee  as  most  satisfactory  are  repro- 
duced and  explained.  Accounting  methods 
to  be  employed  in  recording  the  legal  re- 
lationships entered  into  under  the  several 
types  of  credit  are  also  fully  discussed.

Good  Advertising  and  Bad 
Advertising 

GOOD  advertising  from  the  book-trade 
point  of  view  is  that  which  soundly  ex- 
tends the  consumption  of  books.  Bad 
advertising  is  that  ^which  demoralizes  the  mar- 
ket and  thus  prevents  the  dealers  from  stocking 
up  and  making  sales.  It  is  interesting  under 
this  line  of  division  to  consider  the  kinds-  of 
advertising  which  fall  under  the  respective 
heads.  We  are  speaking  not  of  advertising 
to  the  trade,  but  for  the  trade. 

Advertising  of  special  books  necessitates  the 
use  of  special  mediums  as  an  electrical  period- 
ical for  electrical  books  intended  for  profes- 
sional electricians,  who  constitute  so  small  a 
proportion  of  the  reading  public  that  general 
advertising  of  such  books  is  more  or  less  waste- 
ful. We  speak  chiefly  of  the  books  which 
appeal  to  the  large  class  known  as  the  general 
public,  books  of  fiction,  of  general  literature, 
of  poetry,  of  religion — all  classes  which  have 
a  general  appeal.  Apart  from  the  trade  litera- 
ture which  the  bookseller  distributes  from  his 
counter  or  to  special  customers  thru  imprint 
editions  as  his  own  pulblication,  there  are  two 
kinds  of  periodicals  which  particularly  help 
'him.  One  is  the  magazines  and  periodicals  ot 
general  circulation  which  appeal,  on  the  whole. 
to  the  very  classes  to  whom  most  books  appeal. 
These  are  naturally  a  favored  class  in  the  ad- 
vertising of  book  publishers,  especially  as 
many  of  the  periodicals  are  issued  from  book 
publishing  houses,  affording  opportunity  for 
exchange  advertising — tho  this  is  not  always 
as  profitable  as  it  might  seem.  The  other  class 
is  the  newspapers,  but  in  this  big  country  this 
might  mean  so  many  that  in  many  directions 
it  is  not  practicable  unless  the  local  bookseller 
is  willing  to  co-operate  by  paying  part  of  the 
cost.  At  the  same  time,  the  great  metropolitan 
newspapers,  except  thru  their  (special  book  sup- 
plements, are  not  generally  profitable  means  of 


book  advertising  because  such  advertisements 
are  swallowed  up  in  the  enormous  mass  of 
reading  matter  presented  to  the  reader  and  be- 
come costly  beyond  their  return. 

An  exception  to  this  last  point  may  be  made 
for  metropolitan  papers  which  have  a  spe- 
cial constituency,  usually  among  the  better 
class  of  readers.  The  enormous  supply 
of  advertising  space  which  now  confronts  any 
user  of  advertising  usually  necessitates  the 
service  of  a  special  member  of  the  staff  to  repel 
invaders  and  decide  upon  useful  channels,  and 
has  led  to  the  necessity  of  a  budget  system 
in  which  both  the  total  amount  of  advertising 
and  the  amount  whidh  can  be  expended  for  each 
book  are  scheduled.  This  safeguard  has  its 
disadvantages  in  the  fact  that  there  isoften  no 
contingent  allowance  for  advertising  books  at 
special  times  or  thru  special  mediums,  to  make 
the  most  of  special  opportunities.  Of  course, 
as  a  book  sells  and  increases  its  returns,  its 
appropriation  for  advertising  is  naturally  in- 
creased, but  here  is  another  danger,  especially 
connectect  with  the  'Ibig  seller,"  that  in  making 
or  increasing  a  market  the  cost  of  advertising 
may  meet  or  even  outrun  the  profit  on  the 
book. 

Bad  advertising  is  tihat  which  in  the  endeavor 
to  increase  the  sale  of  a  book  does  this  in  a 
way  that  ultimately  injures  its  sale  by  de- 
moralizing the  factors  of  book  distributioiL 
We  cannot  eat  our  cake  and  have  it,  too. 
Methods  which  might  induce  the  book  buyer 
to  deal  directly  with  the  publisher  instead  of 
buying  from  the  local  bookseller,  while  they 
may  serve  for  books  which  tihe  regular  trade 
is  not  expected  to  handle  with  success,  are  un- 
wise in  the  case  oif  books  in  which  the  retail 
book-trade  is  the  chief  channel  of  distribution. 

Still  more  unwise  is  the  scheme  into  which 
many  publishers  have  recently  been  led  by  tempt- 
ing offers  of  large  display  promotion,  that  is, 
of  making  combination  offers  in  which  a  book, 
already  a  popular  'success,  is  offered  in  com- 
bination rate  with  the  periodical  at  the  price 
of  the  periodical  itself  or  even  below.  This 
last  is  equally  unwise  for  the  book  and  periodi- 
cal, 'because  it  discounts  and  depreciates  the 
value  of  the  periodical,  also.  Yet  many  pub- 
lishers, in  view  of  the  apparent  advantage  of 
large  advertising  and  large  immediate  sale  for 
a  book  under  this  system  have  made  it  almost 
impossible  for  the  local  booksellers  to  stock 
lip  .safely  with  future  purchases  of  the  book 
thus  placed  on  the  market  which  bookstore 
sales  have  put  into  the  best  seller  class.     The 


1320 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


local  dealer  either  loses  sales  altogether  or  is 
confronted  with  a  demand  for  cut  prices,  which 
the  publisher  has  already  fostered  by  this  kind 
of  advertising.  If  a  reader  can  buy  a  $5  book 
and  a  $5  periodical  for  $5,  why  should  he  go 
to  his  bookseller  to  pay  $5  for  only  half  of 
what  he  is  offered  thru  the  periodical?  The 
whole  sdieme  of  fair  prices  for  books  is  broken 
down  by  methods  like  this  and  such  methods 
work  to  the  disadvantage  of  the  publisher,  be- 
cause each  by  itself  makes  the  success  of  the 
local  booksellers  more  doubtful  and  retards  the 
development  of  the  Ibook-trade  thruout  this 
big  country  to  what  it  should  be,  to  what,  in 
fact,  it  is  in  other  countries  less  favored  than 
our  own. 

There  is  nothing  that  demands  more  careful 
study  from  the  wise  publisher  than  the  prob- 
lems of  advertising,  and  no  problems  are  more 
perplexing.  It  is  so  nearly  impossilble  to  check 
up  the  influence  of  any  particular  advertise- 
ment on  any  particular  book  that  it  is  only*  by 
wise  generalization  that  any  standard  of  adver- 
tising values  and  advertising  success  can  be 
worked  out. 

Books  as  News 

THE  increasing  recognition  of  the  place 
of  books  as  news  has  been  admirably 
stated  in  a  recent  editorial  in  the  New 
York  Evening  Post  It  may  be  still  contended 
by  some  istudents  of  journalism  that  the  pub- 
lication of  a  new  book  has  no  more  public  in- 
terest than  the  comling  into  the  market  of  a 
new  style  of  shoe  or  a  new  weave  of  silk, 
but  the  public  does  not  ibelieve  that,  and  the 
wise  owners  of  newspapers  who  are  endeavor- 
ing to  build  up  and  hold  the  clientele  that 
counts  are  more  than  ever  giving  recognition 
to  books  and  the  material  they  bring  to  public 
attention.  The  following  paragraphs  are  from 
the  general  editorial  columns,  and  the  italics 
giving  emphasis  to  the  passing  of  the  old  con- 
ditions are  our  own. 

"On  the  hceils  of  its  reduction  in  price  from 
threepence  to  three  halfpence  the  London  Thnes 
has  substituted  a  daily  page  about  books  for 
its  weekly  column.  It  is  a  significant  develop- 
ment. The  Manchester  Guardian  has  long 
managed  to  give  space  almost  daily  to  book 
reviews  or  notes,  as  well  as  to  a  short  story 
or  literary  essay,  but  then  the  Guardian  does 
not  publish  a  weekly  literary  supplement,  and 
the  Times  publishes  one  of  the  ablest  in  the 
world.    The  Westtmusfer  Gazette  as  an  evening 


paper  recognized  that  books  and  literary  chat 
were  a  proper  part  of  the  day's,  news.  Every 
New  Yorker  has  noted  the  recent  emergence 
in  two  morning  newspapers  of  columns  divided 
daily,  or  almost  daily,  between  books  and  the 
drama.  In  Chicago,  so  long  impatient  of  liter- 
ary features  in  journalism,  the  'book  page' 
burst  into  weekly  bloom  a(  fow  years  ago,  at- 
tracted wide  attention,  and  is  maintained  in 
capable  fashion  by  two  journals.  The  fact  that 
hooks  are  neivs  is  being  clearly  established.  It 
is  a  fact  that  was  long  ago  recognized  by  the 
Evening;  Post',  of  which  since  188 1  there  have 
been  few  issues  that  have  not  contained  re- 
views of  (books  or  chat  about  them,  or  both. 

**Delane  of  the  Times,  according  to  A.  Clut- 
ton-Brock,  isaid  two  generations  ago  that  new 
books  were  always  news  to  iiim.  Why  has 
the  press  been  so  slow  in  acting  upon  the 
fact?  Because  the  public  was  slow  to  believe 
it.  Newspapers  cannot  'be  a  'complete  picture 
o^  the  world,'  ais  the  elder  Bennett  said  they 
should  be,  hut  only  a  picture  of  that  world  in 
which  their  readers  are  interested.  There  are 
great  American  cities  of  half  a  million  people 
in  which  the  publication  of  a  new  book  by 
Kipling,  or  any  American  author,  would  not 
be  interesting  news  to  any  considerable  portion 
of  the  newspaper  readers.  The  disappearance 
of  this  indifference  to  literary  event's,  the 
groivth  of  a  desire  to  be  informed  betimes  of 
zi'hai'  is  passing  in  literary  circle's,  is  a  happy 
phenomenon .  The  issue  of  'Uncle  Tom's  Cabin" 
was  an  occurrence  of  the  first  importance 
in  American  history;  'The  Origin  of  Species' 
was  one  of  the  cardinal  events  of  the  last 
century."

Speech  Takes  New  Wings 


ONE  question  that  has  been  very  fre- 
qu^ntb^  brought  forward  when  people  are 
discussing"  the  marvels  of  the  radio- 
telephone and  its  spectacular  development  in 
the  last  few  monthis  as  a  popular'  home  diver- 
sion, iis,  ' Hvhere  are  the  programs  to  come  Irom 
in  the  future"?  Some  say  that  companies  in- 
terested in  the  sale  of  material  will  naturally 
find  ways  to  keep  programs  going  while  the 
interest  is  cumulative,  but  they  will  ask  whether 
they  will  do  this  or  do  it  well  when  the  market 
may  have  come  nearer  the  saturation  point? 
Or,  what  is  suggested  as  more  likely,  contribu- 
ting talent  may  become  less  interested'  to  maJke 
the  trip  to  the  broadcasting  station  when  the 
novelty    has    worn    off. 

Radio  differs  very  fundamentally  from  the 
phonograph  because  of  the  fact  that  therd  can 
be  less  choice  in  the  program,  and,  altho  peopile 
can  listen  in  on  different  wave  lengths,  the 
programs  are  largely  a  common  program  for 
all.  One  suggestion  has  been  that  the  commun- 
ities will  take  the  broadcasting  over ;  in  fact, 
an  appropriation  is  now  being  considered  by 
New  York  City  (for  the  establishment  of  an 
important  station  on  a  municipal  basis.  If  any 
large  number  of  citizens  want  radio  programs, 
and  undoubtedly  they  will,  the  city  can  cer- 
tainly supply  them  with  far  less  appropriation 
than  would  be  required  for  such  parallel  enter- 
tainment as  summer  band  concerts. 

The  question  of  addresses  for  the  programs, 
that  is,  for  tihe  diversional  programs  as  distin- 
guished from  the  crop  reports  or  other  trade 
information,  is  a  more  difficult  one.  Undoubt- 
edly many  people  who  have  contributed  to  the 
events  so  far  will  be  satisfied  with  one  expe- 
rience in  this  novel  field,  and  it  may  be  in- 
creasingly difficult  to  get  the  right  type  of 
address.  It  should  not  be  difficult  to  get  music 
if  the  broadcasting  istations,  however  supported, 
have  funds  to  pay  for  it.  When  it  comes  to 
stars  from  the  theaters,  already  there  seem  Xo 
be  difficulties,  and  some  of  the  managers  of 
the  New  York  theaters  arc  putting  in  clauses 
in  contracts  with  vaudeville  people,  stipulating 
that  they  shall  not  appear  on  radio  programs. 
This  is  done  with  the  belief  that  radio  enter- 
tainment will  supply  diversion  at  the  home 
rather  than  send  people  to  the  theaters  for 
their    amusement. 

The  point  made  by  these  managers  is  one  that, 
if  asked  of  the  'l)ook  pulblishers  with  regard 
to  the  appearance  of  authors,  must  logically 
liavc  a  very  opposite  reply.  If  the  radio  tele- 
phone is  a  development  that  will  keep  the 
I'amily  group  at  home,  it  cannot  but  be  of 
l>enefit  to  the  distributor  of  books,  because  it 
is  at  h(imo  that  reading  is  done  and  not  at  the 


theatens,  restaurants  or  concert  auditoriums. 
Anything  that  serves  to  keep  young  and  old  in 
the  living  room  satisfied  with  what  the  home 
provides  is  a  movement  that  will  increase  the 
use  of  books.  Not  that  a  person  will  be  listen- 
ing to  a  program  and  read'ing  a  book  at  the 
same  time,  but  it,  would  be  a  mad  devotee, 
indeed,  who  would  sipend  two  or  three  hour® 
listening  in  and  so  have  no  time  left  in 
which  to  read. 

W)hen  J.  W.  Hiltman,  of  Appleton's,  Presi- 
dent of  the  National  Association  of  Book 
Publislhers,  was  asked  his  opinion  as  to  a  pub- 
lisher's attitude  toward  having  authors  appear 
in  ibroadcasting  programs,  he  gave  emphatic 
approval,  ibelieving  that  it  could  not  but  do 
good  (to  the  cause  of  'books,  both  in  the  way 
of  welding  the  home  circle,  and,  in  a  secondary 
way,  in  giving  publicity  to  authors  whose  names 
might  not  be  known  to  all  of  those  within 
the  listeniing  radius.  In  bringing  this  before 
tihe  Executive  Committee  of  the  Association, 
a  similar  opinion  was  reached,  and  Robert 
McLaughlin,  Assistant  Secretary  at  the  Pub- 
lishers' headquarters,  was  empowered  to  com- 
plete the  arrangements  with  the  Westinghou&e 
Newark  broadcasting  station  (WJZ),  whereby 
the  Association  will  work  with  that  station  to 
obtain  authors  to  appear  on  certain  evenings 
during  each  week  for  the  next  few  months. 
Already  many  authors  have  appeared  under 
variouis  arrangements,  and  the  bedtime  story 
has  become  the  most  popular  of  all  features 
on  the  regular  announcements. 

That  the  radio  may  'have  still  further  uses 
in  popularizing  the  book  movement  was  in- 
stanced in  Religious  Book  Week,  when  not 
only  was  the  Newark  (station  used  by  the  Com- 
mittee to  broadcast  a  talk  on  the  subject  of 
good  reading  on  Sunda}^  afternoon,  but  also  from 
Indianapolis  comes  the  report  that  in  the  in- 
terest of  the  same  event.  Rev.  Frank  S.  C. 
Wicks  of  All  Souls  Church  spoke  over  the 
local  wirejs  on  the  same  subject. 

It  seems  apparent  that  as  long  as  the  broad- 
casting stations  are  well  conducted  they  will 
have  support  from  publishers,  book-trade  and 
authors.  The  latter  certainly  have  everything 
to  gain  in  having  their  name«  l>ecome  a  familiar 
sound  to  widely  scattered  groups  of  people, 
for,  as  every  publisher's  sales  manager  and 
every  retail  book  salesman  will  testify,  there 
its  increased  likeilihood  of  a  book's  coming  to 
ready  sale  when  the  visitor  to  the  bookshop 
knows  something  of  the  author  or  has  at  least 
become  familiar  with  the  name.  It  should  also 
increase  the  author's  value  ais  a  contributor 
to  magazines  for  the  same  reason.  Radio 
can  be  a  valuable  form  of  book  publicity.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


The  Bookseller  and  the  Radio  Book 


THERE  have  been  many  signs  during  the 
last  few  years  that  booksellers  are  in- 
creasingly desirous  of  finding  a  way  to 
become  more  active  in  the  sale  of  technicajl 
books  and  practical  boc^ks  on  all  subjects. 
Tfhisi  impulse  has  been  partly  from  the  success 
of  the  business  book  movement  and  largely 
from  an  increasing  realization  that  the  book- 
store, if  it  is  to  take  its  full  place  in  a  com- 


and  magazines  were  also  sold  and  subscriptions 
taken.  Mr.  Macauley  not  only  found  the  sales 
very  gratifying  but  believes  that  the  general 
pu)bliciity(  for  the  store  as  a  place  actively  in- 
terested in  technical  books  has  been  very  bene- 
ficial. 

Frank  Shay's  Bookshop  in  New  York  was 
prompt  to  fit  into  the  ra^io  selling  field,  and 
tor  a  couple  of  weeks  in)  iApril  had  a  receiving 


DISPLAY    OF    RADIO    BOOKS    AT    THE    DOUBLEDAY    PAGE   BOOKSHOP 
IN   THE  PENNSYLVANIA  TERMINAL,    NEW    YORK    CU\ . 


munity,  should  be  prepared  to  cater  completely 
to  this  important  reading  interest.  With  the 
coming  of  the  radio  interest  and  the  keen 
desire  for  information  on  one  of  the  most  fas- 
cinating subjects  that  science  has  ever  brought 
to  the  public's  attention,  there  has  come  an 
unusual  opportunity  to  develop  this  technical 
book  interest,  and  the  retailers  have  not  been 
slow  to  take  advantage  of  it. 

In  Detroit,  there  ihais  already  been  a  special 
Radio  Show  which  was  held  in  the  big  General 
Motors  Building,  a  show  of  such  extent  that 
over  100  radio  producers  were  exhibiting  their 
wares.  In  the  show  nothing  was  allowed  to  be 
sold  except  bodks  and  magaziines,  and  Macauley 
Brothers  arranged  to  have  a  special  booth  with 
a  fine  display  of  titles.  They  also  prepared 
a  list  of  a  dozen  or  more  titles  which  was 
called  for  to  the  extent  of  over  10,000  copies, 


set  in  the  wfindow  so  that  people  could  come 
inside  and  listen  to  the  afternoon  or  evening 
programs  and  be  tempted  to  buy  a  book  that 
would  tell  them  how  to  Iset  up  their  own  instru- 
ments or  to  perfect  their  already  begun  equip- 
ment. 

Doubleday,  Page  &  Company  have  become 
interested  not  only  as  publishers,  in  which  field 
they'  have  started  the  most  ambrtioiis  and  well- 
edited  magazine  called  Radio  Broadcaster,  but 
as  retailers.  The  photograph  of  the  Doubleday, 
Page  display  at  the  ishop  in  the  Pennsylvania 
Terminal  Building  proves  this  retailer's  in- 
terest. A  fully-equipped  instrument  was  con- 
nected with  the  sale  of  books. 

In  each/  city  and  town,  dealers  in  radio  ma- 
terial will  be  glad  to  loan  instruments  and 
equipment  for  display,  so  that  the  store  will 
be  connected  with  the  radio  reader's  interest.

The  Children's  Own  Libraries 


IN  the  recent  deivelopments  in  children's  read- 
ing and  the  new  realization  of  the  im- 
portance of  personal  ownership  of  books, 
there  has  been  a  valuable  emphasis  given  to 
the  feeling  of  personal  ownership  by  the  de- 
velopment of  the  personal  book-plate  idea  for 
children.  Many  artists  have  worked  in  this 
field,  and  several  publishers  of  cards  and  chil- 
dren's material  have  produced  attractive 
designs  which  were  sold  widely  in  bookstores 
and  gift  shops.  Among  those  who  have  been 
particularly  successful  in  meeting  the  child's 
taste  in  this  matter  John  Martin  is  notable. 
He  has  now  developed  the  idea  still  further 
into  what  might  be  called  a  manual  of  library- 
building  for  children,  an  effort  that  may  prove 
of  real  help,  in  the  hands  of  the  progressive 
bookseller,  in  increasing  the  number  of  chil- 
dren's home  libraries. 

The  plan  John  Martin  has  developed  for 
helping  the  children  in  library  building  is  the 
issuing  of  a  flat  volume  with  board  covers 
entitled  "John  Martin's  Book-Plate  Book." 
Each  book  contains  sixty  book  plates  of  one 
design  perforated  so  as  to  be  easily  taken  out, 
and  with  space  for  the  child's  name.  They 
are  printed  six  to  a  page  with  an  attractive 
book-mark  filling  out  the  sheet.  The  following- 
poem  by  John  Martin  is  a  prelude  to  the  book, 
and  the  title  page  bears  the  suggestion  that 
the  volume  is  intended  "to  inspire  love  and 
respect  for  worthy  books  and  to  be  a  guide 
in  the  wise  selection  of  good  books" : 

THE  BOOK  TREE 
"A  Book  Tree  is  a  Knowledge  Tree, 
As  almost  anyone  can  see. 
Long,  long  ago  its  seed  was  sown; 
For  years  and  years  the  Tree  has  grown. 
Ten  thousand  thousand  Hearts  and  Heads 
Have  cared  for  it,  so  now  it  spreads 
Its  Roots  and  Branches  far  and  wide, 
And  casts  its  shade  on  every  side. 
This  Tree  bears  Fruit  of  different  kinds 
For  many  Hearts  and  many  Minds. 
So  all  you  Children  have  to  do 
Is  just  to  take  what's  best  for  you. 
But  no  one  ever  soils  or  breaks 
The  Golden  Fruits  he  needs  and  takes. 
And  no  one  ever  bends  or  tears 
The  Books  this  Tree  of  Knowledge  bears." 

A  four-page  illustrated  introduction  is  a 
personal  letter  in  John  Martin's  best  style  to 
the  child  to  interest  him  in  the  idea  that  books 
can  be  the  best  of  friends.  Following  this  is 
a  page  developing  the  book  plate  idea,  showinsy 
how  it  increases  the  sense  of  personal  owner- 
ship.    Another  page   is   called  "The  Buildinj^ 


ONE   OF  THE  DESIGNS    FOR   A   CHILD'S    BOOK-PLATE 
PREHARED   BY    JOHN     MARTIN. 

of  the  Library,"  which  serves  as  an  introduc- 
tion to  a  two-page  list  of  sixty  books  with 
blank  spaces  for  the  date  when  such  volumes 
are  acquired  and  from  whom  acquired.  This 
book  list  is  one  made  up  by  John  Martin  from 
his  experience  with  children's  reading  and 
includes  well-accepted  classics  that  are  in 
practically  every  bookshop. 

Following  this  list  are  two  pages  listing 
sixty  questions  about  books  and  authors,  each 
one  having  to  do  with  one  of  the  books 
previously  mentioned.  These  questions  are  in- 
tended to  stimulate  the  children's  interest  in 
the  books  which  he  or  she  may  not  already 
know,  such  questions,  for  instance,  as  "In 
what  book  do  you  read  of  the  'great  gray  green 
Limpopo  river'  "  ?  The  final  page  gives  instruc- 
tions on  the  care  of  books,  and  the  inside 
cover  gives  a  list  of  other  bookplate  designs 
besides  the  one  included  in  the  volume  which 
can  be  purchased.  There  are  in  all  a  dozen 
designs,  each  one  of  which  has  been  tested  out 
as  being  popular  with  the  children. 

The  plan  seems  to  be  one  that  would  be  of 
real  help  in  developing  the  home  library  idea, 
and  for  that  reason  deserves  the  special  atten- 
tion of  booksellers  who  are  building  for  per- 
manent clientele.

Booksellers  Have  Notable  Convention 


IN  its  twenty-second  annual  convention,  the 
American  Booksellers  Association  has  been 
meeting  during  the  past  week  at  Washing- 
ton, with  fair  skies,  varied  and  important 
program  and  very  large  attendance.  The 
selection  of  Washington  as  a  convention  city 
had  proved  a  drawing  attraction,  as  had  been 
forecast,  and  people  came  from  long  distances 
and  in  many  cases  brought  their  wives  and 
families.  The  selection  of  the  Hotel  Wash- 
ington for  the  meetings  after  the  fire  in  the 
Willard  proved  a  very  happy  one,  as  the  quar- 
ters were  admirable  in  their  arrangements. 
The  registration  was  rising  to  between  350  and 
400,  and  a  line  of  560  people  passed  into  the 
White  House  on  the  afternoon  that  the  Presi- 
dent  received. 

The  election  of  officers  on  Wednesday  after- 
noon proved  an  exciting  occasion,  as  for  the 
first  time  in  many  years  a  rival  ticket  was 
injected  into  the  proceedings  at  the  last  moment. 
The  ticket  as  elected  was : 
President:    Simon  L.  Nye,  S.  Kann  &  Sons, 

Washington. 
First  Vice  President:    J.  Joseph  Estabrook, 
Hochschild,  Kohn  &  Company,  Baltimore. 
Second  Vice  President:     John  T.  Hotchkiss, 

J.  K.  Gill  Company,  Portland,  Ore. 
Third  Vice  President:    A.  Kroch,  A.  Krioch 

Inc.,  Chicago. 
Secretary:    Belle  M.  Walker,  The  Bookseller 

and  Stationer,  New  York  City. 
Treasurer:      John   G.    Kidd,    Stewart   Kidd 

Company,  Cincinnati. 
The  reconstruction  ticket,  so-called,  carried 
the  same  names  for  First  Vice  President  and 
Treasurer  as  the  nominating  committee's  list 
so  that  these  were  of  necessity  elected.  The 
most  spirited  contest  was  over  the  office  of 
Secretary,  and  Belle  M.  Walker  was  elected 
from  the  original  ticket,  a  deserved  rcognition 
of  her  exceptional  services  in  the  past  year 
and  of  the  importance  of  having  a  woman  on 
the  Board.  Mr.  Nye  as  President  and  the 
Second  and  Third  Vice  Presidents  were  elected 
over  the  regular  ticket,  which  had  consisted  of 
Louis  A.  Keating  for  President,  Josephine  Wat- 
son of  the  Duluth  Glass  Block  Store  for 
Second  Vice  President  and  Seeley  Conover  of 
Amsterdam,  New  York  for  Third  Vice  Presi- 
dent. 

The  names  of  the  five  additional  members  to 
the  Honorary  Fellowship  were  announced  on 
Wednesday  morning  by  the  Chairman  of  the 
Fellowship  Committee,  and  consisted  of 
Charles  A.  Burkhardt  of  E.  P.  Button  & 
Company,  Walter  S.  Lewis  of  the  Presby- 
terian Board  of  Publication,  Louis  A  Keating 
of  Womrath's  Bookshop,  Syracuse,  Sidney 
Avery   of    Brentano's,   Washington,   and   C.   C. 


Parker  of  Los  Angeles.  The  convention  also 
elected  two  honorary  members  from  outside 
the  field  of  the  book-trade :  Thorvald  Solberg, 
Register  of  Copyrights  and  R.  R.  Bowker, 
President  of  R.  R.  Bowker  Company  and 
Ediitor  of  the  Publishers'  Weekly. 

The  Year  Round  Bookselling  Campaign 
figured  prominently  in  the  discussions,  and  a 
review  of  the  w^ork  as  it  now  stands  was 
given  on  Monday  by  Frederic  G.  Melcher, 
Chairman  of  the  Committee,  and  on  Wednesday 
Ward  Macauley,  for  the  retailers,  made  a  bril- 
liant analysis  of  its  possibilities  for  the  book- 
seller. 

The  chief  interest  in  addresses  and  in  resol- 
utions hinged  around  the  whole  subject  of  the 
maintenance  of  book  prices.  An  extremely 
effective  presentation  of  the  whole  subject  was 
made  in  three  important  speeches  on  Tuesday, 
first  by  Charles  E.  Butler  of  the  booksellers' 
Board  of  Trade,  secondly  by  Joseph  E.  Davies 
and  third  by  M.  Clyde  Kelly,  sponsor  in  Con- 
gress for  the  Kelly  Bill,  The  Convention 
passed  a  strong  endorsement  of  the  whole  price 
standardization  plan  as  embodied  in  the  Kelly 
Bill  and  voted  $100  for  the  Fair  Trade  League. 
In  another  form  the  question  of  price  main- 
tenance came  to  the  front  on  the  report  from 
Ralph  Wilson  for  the  Board  of  Trade  of  the 
use  of  ibooks  as  premiums.  This  discussion 
aroused  much  interest,  and  in  the  resolution 
finally  passed  it  was  decided  to  accept  the 
suggestion  made  by  Mr.  Everitt  of  Doubleday, 
Page  and  Whitney  Darrow  of  Scribner's  that 
the  booksellers  instead  of  acting  alone  should 
arrange  for  a  joint  committee  to  go  thoroly 
into  the  subject  with  the  publishers  in  order 
to  see  all  sides  of  the  question.  The  fact  that 
price-cutting  in  some  department  stores  has 
increased  was  recognized  in  the  carefully 
worded  resolution  which  urged  the  publishers 
to  review  their  attitude  on  this  whole  question 
and  to  do  anything  as  individuals  that  they 
could  to  improve  the  situation. 

Resolutions  were  also  passed,  drawing  at- 
tention to  the  tariff  and  the  copyright  situation, 
and  the  Convention  went  on  record  as  favoring 
the  completely  universal  recognition  of  the 
third  and  five  for  the  basic  discount  for  not 
only  travelers'  orders  but  for  mail  orders. 

Besides  approving  enthusiastically  the  Year 
Round  Campaign,  a  resolution  embodied  the 
suggestion  that  the  plan  for  an  advertising 
campaign  be  again  taken  up.  For  the  next 
Convention,  Detrbit  was  decided  upon. 

Beside  the  White  House  reception  the  social 
features  included  a  Colonial  Dance,  a  moon- 
light sail  and  a  trip  to  Arlington  and  Mt. 
Vernon.

The  Copyright  Status  in  Canada 


THE  subject  of  copyright  has  been  revived 
in  the  Canadian  Parliament  by  the  ap- 
pearance on  the  order  paper  of  the  House 
of  Commons  of  the  following  notice  of  motion, 
presented  by  Fernand  Rinfret,  M.P.,  editor  of 
Le  Canada,  Montreal,  and  a  prominent  French- 
Canadian  man  of  letters: 

"Whereas  no  law  in  force  at  present  in 
Canada  protects  the  rights  of  musical  com- 
posers against  the  mechanical  reproduction  of 
their  works  by  phonograph  or  otherwise; 

"And  whereas  Parliament  adopted  last  year, 
while  postponing  promulgation,  a  general  law 
on  Copyright,  protecting  to  a  certain  extent 
the  rights  of  said  composers; 

•'And  whereas  on  the  other  hand  the  delay 
in  enforcing  the  Copyright  Act,  1921,  is  due 
to  difference  of  opinion  on  the  clauses  relating 
to  the  licenses  of  reprinting  literary  works 
which  have  no  connection  with  musical  works, 
this  House  is  of  the  opinion  that  the  Copyright 
Act  of  192 1  should  be  enforced  immediately 
by  dropping  out  the  clauses  thirteen,  fourteen, 
fifteen  and  twenty-seven  in  regard  to  licenses." 
It  will  be  recalled  that  the  Copyright  Act. 
passed  by  the  House  of  Commons  on  May 
25th,  1921,  contained  somewhat  novel  provisions 
under  which  any  person  might  apply  for  a 
license  to  print  and  publish  in  Canada  any 
book  wherein  copyright  subsisted,  if  at  any 
time  after  publication  and  within  the  duration 
of  the  copyright  the  owner  of  the  copyright 
either  failed  (a)  to  print  the  said  book  or 
cause  the  same  to  be  printed  in  Canada,  or 
^b)  to  supply  by  means  of  copies  so  printed  the 

easonable  demands  of  the  Canadian  market 
j'or  such  book.  Certain  regulations  covering 
the  granting  of  such  licenses  to.  print  were 
written  into  the  Act.  (Sections  13,  14,  15 
and  27.) 

In  spite  of  the  opposition  of  publishers  and 
.inthors.  the  bill  was  passed  with  the  licensing 

lauses  included.     There  was  a  disposition  on 

he  part  of  the  Government,  however,  not  to 
jnit  the  act  in  force  until  some  assurance  was 
Hrcured  that  its  terms  did  not  conflict  with 
the  requirements  of  the  Berne  Convention,  the 
L'eneral  feeling  being  that  Canada  should  asso- 

iate  itself  with  the  other  nations  which  were 

ignatories  of  the  Convention.  The  fact  that 
the  -Act  has  not  yet  been  promulgated  is  evi- 
dence that  the  international  copyright  authori- 
tips  do  not  regard  its  provisions  with  favor. 

While  Mr.  Rinfret's  resolution  is  nominally 
in  the  interests  of  musical  composers,  its  adop- 
tion and  the  subsequent  promulgation  of  the 
act  in  its  amended  form  would  wipe  out  the 
Ttrincipal    features   to    which   Canadian   authors 


and  publishers  have  taken  exception.  Copy- 
right would  subsist  in  Canada  in  every  original 
literary,  dramatic,  musical  and  artistic  wdrk. 
if  the  author  w-as  at  the  date  of  making  the 
work  a  British  subject  or  a  citizen  or  subject 
of  any  foreign  country  adhering  to  the  Berne 
Convention.  It  would  also  subsist  in  the 
works  of  authors  of  countries  outside  the 
Berne  Convention,  provided  the  latter  under- 
took by  treaty,  convention,  agreement  or  law, 
to  give  citizens  of  Canada  the  benefit  of  copy- 
right on  substantially  the  same  basis  as  to 
their  own  citizens  or  substantially  equal  to 
that  conferred  by  the  Canadian  act.  There 
would  be  no  printing  condition. 

Since  the  act  of  1921  was  passed,  a  new 
government  has  come  into  power  in  Canada, 
and  when  the  Canadian  Authors'  Association 
held  its  annual  meeting  recently  at  Ottawa, 
advantage  was  taken  of  the  occasion  to  wait 
on  members  of  the  ministry  and  lay  before 
them  the  authors'  objections  to  the  act  in  its 
present  form.  To  a  certain  extent  Mr.  Rin- 
fret's resolution  is  a  result  of  the  representa- 
tions made  at  that  time.  W.  A.  C. 

Canadian  Authors'   Meeting 

THE  annual  convention  of  the  Canadian 
Authors'  Association  was  held  in  Ottawa 
the  last  week  in  April,  and  J.  Murray  Gibbon 
of  Montreal  was  unanimously  re-elected  Presi- 
ident.  Lady  Byng  of  Vimy  was  elected  to 
honorary  presidency.  The  two  days*  sess'on 
attracted  authors,  writers  and  editors  from  all 
parts  of  Canada.  A  banquet  was  held  April 
29th  at  Chateau  Laurier. 

Among  the  resolutions  endorsed  was  one 
asking  the  government  for  a  grant  of  $5000 
each  year  for  the  most  significant  literary  work 
by  a  Canadian  domiciled  and  resident  in  Can- 
ada. The  editor  of  McLeati's  Maga.cmc,  J. 
Vernon  Mackenzie,  and  the  Secretary  of  the 
Association,  B.  K.  Sandwell,  sponsored  a 
resolution  asking  the  government  to  consider 
placing  a  tariff  on  all  advertising  matter  car- 
ried in  foreign  magazines  that  are  imported 
into  the  Dominion.  They  favored  this  as  pro- 
tection for  the  publishing  and  printing  indus- 
tries of  Canada. 

Among  the  speakers  were  Sir  George  Foster, 
who  prophesied  that  the  radio  would  vitally 
aflfect  the  world  of  letters ;  Hugh  Eayrs,  Pres- 
ident of  the  Macmillan  Company  of  Camda, 
who  spoke  for  the  publishers,  and  Paul  Emiie 
Naggiar  spoke  for  French  literature.  B.  K. 
Sandwell  of  Montreal  was  re-clcctcd  Secre- 
tary and  Dr.  G.  R.  Lomer  of  McGill  Uni- 
versity,  Montreal,  Treasurer.

THE    JOHN    NEWBERY    MEDAL    TO    BE    PRESENTED  EACH   YEAR  BY  THE  CHILDREN  S  LIBRARIANS 
SECTION    OF    THE    AMERICAN    LIBRARY    ASSOCIATION  FOR  THE  MOST  DISTINGUISHED  CONTRIBU- 
TION TO  AMERICAN   LITERATURE  FOR  CHILDREN   PRODUCED   WITHIN  THE   PRECEDING   YEAR 


The  John  Newbery  Medal 


THE  rirst  presentation  of  the  John  New- 
bery Medal  for  the  most  distinguished 
contribution  to  American  literature  for 
children  will  be  made  at  the  Tuesday  session 
of  the  American  Library  Association  Conven- 
tion, at  Detroit,  on  June  27th.  The  medal  has 
been  modelled  by  Rene  P.  Chambellan  and 
is  now  being  cast  into  bronze.  The  name  of 
the  author  will  be  engraved  each  year  upon  the 
reverse  of  the  medal. 

The  inception  of  this  plan  for  a  dignified 
tribute  to  American  authorship  came  at  the 
Children's  Librarians'  Section  of  the  Swamp- 
scott  Conference  last  year.  These  sessions 
were  giving  very  general  attention  to  all  the 
different  channels  thru  which  better  books 
could  be  made  to  reach  children,  not  only  thru 
libraries  but  thru  the  schools  and  thru  home 
ownership,  and  Clara  Whitehill  Hunt  especiall\ 
emphasized  in  her  address  the  importance  of 
the  librarian  with  special  training  giving  credit 
when  credit  was  due  to  the  current  publica- 
tions. It  occurred  to  Frederic  G.  Me'cher,  also 
one  of  the  speakers,  that  there  might  be  some 
way  devised  whereby  just  this  sort  of  credit 
to  living  authors  could  be  given  and  given  by 
this  very  group  of  children's  librarians,  who, 
because  of  their  broad  examination  of  book 
production  and  their  constant  contact  with  the 
children  themselves,  would  be  better  able  thaii 
any  other  jury  to  judge  of  the  real  merits  of 
current  books.  With  the  permission  of  the 
Chairman  of  the  Children's  Librarians'  Sec- 
tion, Alice  L  Hazeltine,  Mr.  Melcher  pre- 
sented such  a  plan  to  the  business  session,  and 


the  idea  was  turned  over  for  discussion  and 
development  to  the  new  Committee  then 
elected,  with  Clara  Whitehill  Hunt  as  Chair- 
man. 

The  proposal  was  that  the  Children's  Section 
should  undertake  each  year  to  award  a  medal 
to  the  author  of  the  most  distinguished  book 
written  for  the  children  of  any  age  during  the 
previous  calendar  year.  It  was  planned  that 
the  machinery  for  such  selection  could  be 
made  simple  and  effective  and  that  the  opera- 
tion of  this  election  could  be  comfortably  car- 
ried out  between  January  and  the  time  of  the 
annual  convention,  when  the  announcement 
could  properly  be  made.  Such  an  award  would 
take  its  place  beside  the  well-known  annual 
awards  already  established  for  dramatists, 
novelists,  poets  and  historians  and  give  sup- 
port to  authors  by  attracting  more  public  at- 
tention to  the  best  work.  It  would  also  give 
encouragement  to  the  authors  to  give  of  their 
best  in  imagination  and  literary  power  to  con- 
tributions for  children's  literature,  a  depart- 
ment of  literature  that  can  stand  confidently 
alongside  other  branches  of  literature  in  influ- 
ence and  importance. 

Mr.  Melcher  volunteered  to  supply  a  suitable 
bronze  medal,  and  he  sugj.'jestcd  that  the  medal 
be  called  the  "John  Newbery  Medal"  in  honor 
of  the  famous  old  London  bookseller  of  the 
eighteenth  century,  who  was  probably  the  first 
publisher  or  bookseller  to  give  specific  atten- 
tion to  the  reading  interests  of  children.  It 
was  John  Newbery  who  persuaded  Oliver 
Goldsmith   to  write  "Goody  Two-Shoes,"  and

he  is  himself  pictured  by  Goldsmith's  inimit- 
able pen  in  the  pages  of  "The  Vicar  of  Wake- 
field." 

After  the  plan  had  been  thoroly  discussed 
by  the  Committee  of  the  Children's  Section  of 
the  American  Library  Association  and  ac- 
cepted, Rene  P.  Chambellan  was  commissioned 
to  design  the  medal,  of  which  a  photograph  of 
the  modeling  is  reproduced  herewith.  Mr. 
Chambellan  is  a  young  American  who  was  a 
successful  student  at  the  Beaux  Arts  Sculpture 
Academy  and  the  Architectural  League  of 
New  York.  After  seeing  service,  he  was  as- 
signed during  convalescence  to  be  instructor 
in  modeling  at  the  A.  E.  F.  Art  Center  at 
Bellevue  under  the  direction  of  the  late  Solon 
H.  Borglum  and  with  him  worked  on  the 
dedication  panel  of  the  Pershing  Stadium  at 
Vincennes.  He  has  done  work  on  many  public 
buildings  and  recently  produced  a  series  of 
large  sculptural  panels  for  the  Russell  Sage 
Foundation  Building. 

Mr.  Chambellan  has  produced  an  admirable 
piece  of  lettering  for  the  text  side  of  the  medal, 
and  for  the  face  a  group  of  figures  representing 
the  purpose  of  the  award,  that  of  the  gift  of 
a  work  of  imagination  and  power  to  the 
children.

The  Best  Twenty-five  for  School 
Bookshelves 

r\  NE  of  the  most  interesting  and  signilicant 
Vy  efforts  that  have  been  launched  by  the 
American  Library  Association  this  year  is  the 
plan  for  the  making  up- of  a  list  of  the  best 
twenty-five  books  for  a  one-room  country  school. 
If  the  movement  to  have  school  libraries  is  to 
spread  from  the  high  schools  down  thru  the 
graded  schools  even  to  the  smallest  unit  of  the 
American  education  system,  there  is  need  of 
some  guidance  so  that  any  teacher  may  set  before 
a  school  jlx>ard.  the  children  or  an  interested 
donor  a  brief  liist  of  what  would  be  a  worth- 
while 'bookshelf  representing  the  very  best 
judgment   of    experienced    librarians. 

To  select  such  a  list,  a  ballot  will  be  taken  at 
the  American  Library  Association  conference 
in  Detroit  the  last  of  June,  and  ai  similar  bal- 
lot at  the  meeting  of  the  National  Education 
Association  in  Bolston  the  following  week.  Tiie 
former  ballot  will  be  in  charge  of  Marion 
Horton,  Chairman  of  the  School  Library  Sec- 
tion of  the  A.  L.  A.,  and  the  ballot  at  Boston 
will  be  in  charge  of  Dr.  Sherman  Williams, 
Chairman  of  the  Library  Department  of  the 
N.  E,  A. 

A  .printed  list  of  about  100  possible  titles 
will  ibe  put  on  the  ballot  so  that  those  voting 
will  have  a  guide 'list  in  marking  their  twenty- 
five,  and  there  will  be  blanks  for  other  sug- 
gestions. The  list  is  specifically  not  to  in- 
clude the  Bible,  a  dictionary,  encyclopedia  or 
textbooks,  but  such  other  books  as  are  suit- 
able  for  the  general   reading  of  the  children. 


The  wide  reprinting  of  such  a  list  <3an  do  a 
tremendous  amount  of  good,  and  all  the  agen- 
cies of  bool'i^  distribution  can  help  by  -bringing 
the  list  to  the  attention  of  tihose  who  buy  the 
books  for  schools  or  who  might  be  induced  to 
present  them  to  the  schools. 

The  Fight  for  Book  Standard- 
ization 

THE  book-trade  by  this  time  has  become 
well  aware  of  hoW  brisk  a  fight  is  being 
put  up  thru  the  book-trade  in  support  of 
the  Kelly  Bill  on  price  standardization.  Charles 
E.  Butler  of  Brentano's,  leader  in  so  many 
important  trade  movements,  has  left  no  stone 
unturned  to  get  the  full  weight  of  the  trade 
behind  the  Bill  at  this  juncture.  Every  book- 
seller has  been  asked  to  take  the  matter  up 
with  his  congressman  by  wire. 

Other  trade  associations  have  been  made 
aware  that  the  book-trade  is  taking  this  active 
stand  and  have  been  asked'  to  put  forth  their 
further  pressure  at  this  time.  Lists  of  con- 
gressmen and  senators  have  been  sent  to  the 
different  fields,  and  blanks  for  mail  protests  and 
concrete  suggestions  for  telegrams  have  been 
supplied  broadcast.  The  road  to  progress  in 
this  line  is  difficult  and  has  extended  over  many 
years,  but  it  is  worth  while  reading  at  this  time 
the  well  based  opinion  of  such  a  jurist  as 
Justice  Brandeis  or  such  a  great  decision  as 
that  rendered  in  the  Supreme  Court  of 
Washington  in   1913. 

Judge  Brandeis  said: 

"The  Stephens  Bill  is  a  bill  to  prevent  monopoly; 
to  prevent^  it  by  preventing  out-throat  competition. 
Monopoly  is  the  natural  outcome  of  cut-throat  com- 
petition. 

"Retailers  the  country  over  have  been  finding 
out  that  price-cutting  is  one  of  the  causes  of 
dwindling   success. 

"Standard  prices  tend  to  create  competition.  If 
you  have  fair  competition  and  an  open  field,  that 
which  is  best  and  cheapest  will  win.  There  cannot 
be  such  a  thing  as  oppressive  price  in  a  competitive 
article.  The  Stephens  Bill  would  tend  to  reduce  the 
cost  of  living,  because  it  encourages  free  com- 
petition." 

"When  a  trade-marked  article  is  advertised  to 
be  sold  at  less  than  the  standard  price,  it  is  gen- 
erally done  to  attract  persons  to  the  partioular  store 
Ijy  the  oflfer  of  an  obviously  extraordinary  bargain. 

"Americans  should  be  under  no  illusion  as  to  the 
value  or  effect  of  price-cutting.  It  has  been  the 
most  potent  weapon  of  monopoly  and  means  of  kill- 
ing the  small  rival  to  which  the  trusts  have  re- 
ported most  frequently.  It  is  so  simple,  so 
eflfective."  ■      '      , 

The  decision  of  the  Supreme  Court  at  WasH- 
injrton    was: 

"The  true  competition  is  between  rival  articles,. 
a  competition  in  excellence,  which  can  never  be- 
maintained  if,  thru  the  perfidy  of  the  retailer  who. 
cuts  prices  for  his  own  ulterior  purposes,  the  manu- 
facturer IS  forced  to  compete  in  prices  with  goods 
<A  his  own  production  while  the;  retailer  recoups  his. 
losses  on  the  cut  price  by  the  sale  of  other  articles 
«  or   above   their   reasonable   prices. 

•It  is  a  fallacy  to  assume  that  the  price-coitter 
pockets  the  loss.  The  public  makes  it  up  on  other 
purchases."  *^

Reminiscences  of  a  Book  Scout 

By  Joseph  Jewett  Barton 

IX.      ^'And  Nobody  Murdered" 


ONCE  upon  a  time  I  was  part  of  a  soul- 
less or  Godless,  or  whatever  it  is  they 
call  them,  corporation. 

We  owned  a  couple  of  counties  in  a  far 
western  state  and  we  mined  coal.  In  trying  to 
add  largely  to  our  production  we  introduced 
machines  in  some  of  the  mines,  at  an  expense 
of  over  half  a  million  dollars.  Naturally,  the 
miners  all  struck,  and  we  were  in  a  nice  mess. 

One  day  the  President  sent  for  me,  and  when 
I  got  into  his  private  office,  he  produced  a  big 
roll  of  bills  and  said :    "Have  you  got  a  gun," 

and  I  had,  ^*You  go  over  to  B and  get  a 

train   load  of   niggers   and  bring  them  here." 

Sounds  simple  and  ordinary,  doesn't  it,  when 

you  read  it  ?   Just  like  that :  go  over  to  B • 

and  get  a  train  load  of  niggers. 

I  looked  the  boss  straight  in  the  eye,  but 
failed  to  find  any  signs  of  mirth  and  laughter. 
He  asked  if  I  was  afraid.  I  was  quite  some 
younger  then,  and  I  told  him  "No." 

I  left  the  office  and  walked  down  Main  Street 
toward  home  to  get  my  grip  and  tell  the  folks 
I  was  going  on  a  vacation,  to  Chicago  or  Den- 
ver or  somewhere,  just  to  change  the  monotony 
of  life  in  a  dull  town.  The  sun  was  deliciously 
warm  and  the  weather  ideal  after  a  long  hard 
spring,  and  I  reflected  that  now  the  flowers 
were  cheaper,  and  the  ground  wasn't  so  awfully 
soggy  and  cold.  Suppose  the  boss  had  wanted 
those  niggers  a  month  or  six  weeks  ago. 

My  wife  had  acquired  a  new  hat  that  sur- 
passed any  of  her  previous  efforts,  and  when  I 
met  her  coming  up  the  street  it  struck  me  what 
a  beautiful  woman  she  was,  and  I  wondered 
if  she  would  marry  again. 

My  coadjutor  and  guide  was  a  nigger 
preacher,  who  was  a  sort  of  popular  idol  among 
his   race.     He  was  expected   to  go  among  his 

people  or  act  thru  another  preacher  in  B 

and  spread  the  glad  tidings  of  more  days  to 
work  and  higher  pay. 

B was  a  tough  mining  town  belonging 

to  a  rival  coal  company.  The  mayor,  police 
force  and  local  magistrate  were  all  black,  face 
and  soul,  and  owned  by  the  company;  and  for 
an  agent  of  another  company  to  come  in  there 
and  steal  its  men,  was  decidedly  unhealthy. 

According  to  arrangement  we  traveled  sep- 
arately and  arrived  at   B after   nightfall. 

I  had  an  appointment  at  midnight  at  the  local 
preacher's  house  to  discuiss  prospects  and  plan 
a  campaign. 

It  was  a  very  neat  and  comfortable  little 
cottage,  and  I'll  wager  that  the  old  dark  brown 


mammy  who  let  me  in,  was  some  cook.  Those 
old-time,  born  in  slavery  darkies  have  an  ample, 
well-fed,  motherly  appearance  that  I  delight  in. 

At  this  time,  besides  being  a  coal  digger,  I 
was  a  collector  of  first  editions,  and  had  quite 
a  decent  lot;  I  also  had  some  small  knowledge 
of  Americana. 

Over  in  one  corner  of  the  room  where  the 
Board  of  Strategy  was  in  session,  was  one  of 
those  ridiculously  named  things  called  a  "What- 
not." Even  in  tlie  dim  light  from  a  "coal-oil" 
lamp  I  could  see  the  tooled  gilt  on  a  rich  old 
seal  brown  calf  binding.  What  do  the  commer- 
cial affairs  of  a  few  railroad  kings  or  mere 
coal  barons  amount  to,  when  one  has  an  admir- 
ation for  the  artistic  and  the  beautiful,  particu- 
larly in  books. 

So  I  let  Henry  and  Jchn  make  their  own 
plans  for  the  morrow,  while  I  inspected  the 
library.  When  I  opened  one  of  the  volumes  and 
saw  a  booik-plate,  I  at  once  understood  how  such 
books  happened  to  be  in  John's  possession.  John 
was  born  a  slave  and  belonged  to  the  Richard- 
son family,  and  was  'brought  up  as  a  house  boy 
and  as  companion  to  the  late  Judge.  He  had 
good  manners,  had  read  extensively,  wrote  a 
fine  hand  and  was  exceptionally  intelligent. 
When  I  afterward  got  to  know  him  very  well, 
he  told  me  that  the  family  had  taken  a  great 
interest  in  him,  and  when  the  Judge,  to  be,  left 
home  for  college,  he  secured  books  and  tried 
to  keep  up  with  his  foster-brother,  and  during 
vacation  the  Judge  explained  the  hard  places. 
and  urged  him  onward. 

John  didn't  want  to  sell  an}-  of  the  books,  and 
I  didn't  urge  him  very  strongly,  as  I  under- 
stood and  respected  his  motives ;  but  he  said 
if  I  would  get  him  a  nice  Bible,  with  large 
type  and  illustrations,  he  would  let  me  have 
"The  Personal  Narrative  of  James  O.  Pattic. 
edited  by  Timothy  Flint,  Cinn.,  1833,"  and  the 
"History  of  the  Late  War  (of  1812)  in  the 
Western  Country,  by  Robert  B.  McAfee,  Lex- 
ington, Kentucky,  1816."  He  was  not  particu- 
larly interested  in  these  items. 

Anybody  would  be  very  glad  to  accept  sucli 
an  offer,  and  I  wish  somebody  would  make  a 
similar  one,  tomorrow. 

In  the  course  of  a  few  days  we  had  rounded 
up  a  good  crowd  of  digging  niggers,  got  them 
out  of  town  by  ones  and  twos  in  the  middle  of 
the  night,  to  the  next  railroad  station,  loaded 
them  on  a  train  and  reached  home  safely  with 
only  a  few  desertionis. 

Quite  a  successful  vacation — two  fine  books, 
a  good  bunch  of  diggers  and  nobody  murdered.

A  Ladder  Library 

WHILE  booksellers  have  been  developing 
special  sections  for  their  children's  books 
or  separate  rooms,  it  has  been  found  that 
good  display  is  not  enough,  nor  is  it  completely 
adequate  that  there  should  be  at  hand  a  trained 
manager  for  the  department.  Visitors  to  a 
juvenile  department  like  to  browse  around,  and 
methods  of  making  self -selection  easy  are 
valuable  in   increasing  the  total  sales. 


The  Macniillan  Comi>iiny  has  just  begun  a 
new  experiment  to  aid  the  dealer  in  this!  field, 
and  is  supplying  a  most  interesting  display 
case  in  the  form  of  a  ladder.  I'^.ach  step  of 
the  ladder  is  labeled  with  the  age  of  the  child 
to  whom  books  thereon  are  suited,  and  on  the 
six  shelves  the  ages  run,  by  stei)s  of  two,  from 
four  years  to  fifteen,  l-'or  this  ladder  a  sug- 
gestive list  of  books  in  a  catalog  is  sent  out 
that  gives  much  valuable  information  to  the 
salesmen  so  that  the  books  may  be  properly 
talked  about  when  the  sale  is  begun.  The 
special  value  of  such  a  case  is'  that  the  parent 
can  choose  the  right  book  for  Tom,  Dick  or 
H&rriet  withiout  the  fear  that  it  was  intended 
for  some  other  age  of  child.     The  ladder  thus 


becomes    a   silent    salesman    to    reinforce    the 
other  methods  of  approach. 

The  display  also  gives  concrete  testimony 
to  the  parent  that  there  are  books  suitable  for 
each  age  and  that  a  child's  library  should  never 
be  allow^ed  to  stop  growing.  The  development 
of  this  idea  has  been  in  charge  of  R.  I.  Garton, 
who  has  recently  come  to  Macmillan  from  the 
educational  field,  and  in  one  of  his  publicity 
letters  to  the  bookseller  he  sends  the  following 
rhymed  description  of  the  plan: 

"When  salesgirls  are  weary 

Of  each  mother's  query, 

The  problem  will  soon  solve  itself. 

Of  books  for  each  age 

There  is  a  full  page, 

In  Macmillan's  new  "Ladder  Bookshelf." 

If  business  ds  slow 

And  you  want  it  to  go 

Why  not  let  me  help  and  give  aid? 

I  have  a  good  plan 

For  every  bookman 

So  just  write  me  and  you'll  be  repaid." 

Supporting  the  Health  Program 

IN  a  list  of  ten  essentials  necessary  for  the 
improved  health  of  children  in  rural  schools, 
Thomas  D.  Wood,  Chairman  of  the  Joint  Com- 
mittee on  Health  Problems  of  the  National 
Education  Association  and  the  American  Medi- 
cal Association,  lists : 

"The  organization  and  cooperation  of  the 
home  and  the  school  and  of  interested  people 
and  societies  to  insure  to  all  children  th  essen- 
tials of  health  and  general  zvell-being." 

In  such  work  in  the  community  the  book-

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Half  Century  of  the  Trade  List  Annual 

Story  of  the  Development  of  This  Famous  Book-Trade  Tool 


As  the  year  1922  will  see  the  fiftieth  pu!b- 
lication  of  the  "Puiblishers'  Trade  List 
Annual,"  the  book-trade  of  this  genera- 
tion may  be  interested  in  the  story  of  the  be- 
ginnings of  the  little  "green  pig,"  ais  it  is 
descriptively  diDbbed  in  many  bookshops. 
"Green  Pig,"  by  the  way,  is  a  derivative  of  the 
"guinea  pig,"  the  pet  name  given  in  England 
many  years  ago  to  Henry  B'ohn's  "Catalog  of 
Standard  Books,"  a  fat  volume  in  popular  use, 
that  sold  for  a  guinea  a  copy. 

Prior  to  1873  there  were  several  attempts 
made  to  gather  into  a  single  volume  and  thus 
standardize  the  price-lists  of  American  book 
puiblishers.  In  1867  Howard  Challen  of  Phila- 
delphia, an  enthusiastic  devisor  of  trade  tools, 
issued  a  "Uniform  Trade  List  Circular," 
planned  for  the  "benefit  of  publishers,  book- 
sellers, newsdealens  and  stationers  and  every 
branch  of  trade  connected  with  these  interests." 
The  publishers'  lists  in  the  volume  were  wholly 
set  up  by  Mr.  Challen,  and,  while  these 
were  arranged  in  alphabetical  order,  the  volume 
contained  only  323  pages  and  proved  of  little 
practical  value  inasmuch  as  catalogs  of  many 
prominent  houses  were  missing.  Some  of  the 
best  known  publishers  contributed  only  lists  of 
tlieir  new  books  of  the  previous  year,  while 
the  minor  concerns  contributed  their  complete 
trade  lists. 

In  1869  the  same  publisher  branched  out 
heroically  and  named  his  book  "The  Publish- 
ers' and  Stationers'  Trade  List  Directory,"  in 
which  were  included  the  complete  catalogs  of 
n^rly  all  the  leading  houses,  the  total  number 
of  pages  in  the  catalog  section  being  850,  to 
which  were  added  50  pages  devoted  to  adver- 
tisement of  stationery  and  allied  lines. 

In   1871   the  Challen  idea,  having  proved  a 
financial    failure,   was  taken  up  by   Frederick 
Leypoldt,    the    founder    of    the    Publishers' 
Weekly,  who  prepared  the  "Trade  Circular 
Annual,"  which,  in  addition  to  publishers'  price- 
lists,  included  the  "American  Catalog  of  Books," 
published  in  the  United  States  during  the  year 
1870.    The  plan  of  having  each  publisher  print 
the  required  number  of  his  catalog  for  inclusion, 
,  tiius  simplifying  the  details  and  reducing  the 
f  cost,    proved    the   practical    method    of    trans- 
'  forming    Mr.    Challen's    unsuccessful    scheme 
'  into   a   practicable  and  permanent   one.     This 
Annual   contained  also  an  alphabetical   list  of 
nearly   800   articles   "suitable    for   sale   in  the 
book,     stationery,     music     and     fancy     goods 
stores,"  thus  aiming  to  cover  a  wide  field  not 


represented  by  trade  reference  books  in  that 
day. 

In  1873  the  first  issue  of  the  present  stand- 
ardized "Trade  List  Annual"  made  its  appear- 
ance, and  the  price-lists  ishowed  a  reasonable 
adherence  to  uniformity,  a  few  only  showmg 
"a  rivulet  of  print  in  a  meadow  O'f  margin." 
Before  the  era  of  uniform  catalogs  each  pub- 
lisher followed  his  own  idea.  Some  lists  were 
in  miniature  size  to  fit  an  ordinary  envelope, 
and  the  shapes  ranged  all  the  way  up  to  a 
quarto  sheet. 

The  exact  title  of  the  1873  and  1874 
volumes  was  the  "Uniform  Trade  List 
Annual,"  but  in  1875  it  was  changed  to 
the  "Publishers'  Trade  List  Annual."  A  copy 
of  the  issue  of  1873  in  the  office  of  the  Pub- 
lishers' Weekly  is  stamped  in  gold  on  the 
covef  "Presented  by  Dodd  &  Mead,  762  Broad- 
way, New  York."  At  the  low  price  at  which  it 
was  sold  the  bookseller  could  afford  to  buy  a 
quantity  and  present  copies  to  his  best  custom- 
ers. Dodd,  Mead  &  Co.,  were  retailers  of 
books  as  well  as  publishers  when  the  Trade 
List  Annual  of  1873  was  issuea. 

During  the  seventies  each  "Annual"  contained 
the  "American  Catalog  of  Books"  for  the 
previous  year  or  the  Educational  Catalog,  but 
as  these  catalogs  grew  in  size  they  were 
eventually  dropped.  In  1902  an  extensive 
index  by  author,  title  and  subject  to  all  catalogs 
was  undertaken,  and  published  as  a  separate 
volume.  Supplementary  indexes  were  aliso 
printed  in  1903  and  1904,  but  none  has  been 
issued  since. 

The  first  Trade  List  Annual  (1873)  con- 
tained loi  contributed  catalogs,  and  38  smaller 
price-lists  in  the  supplementary  section,  a  total 
of  139,  while  the  latest  Annual  (1921)  has 
122  publishers  in  the  catalog  section  and  150 
brief  lists.  Further  contrasting  the  two  issues, 
1873  was  2^  inches  thick  with  approximately 
2,ocx)  pages,  while  the  1921  volume  bulks  7]/i 
inches,  with  about  6,000  pages. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  the  English 
"Reference  Catalog  of  Current  Literature,"  con- 
taining publishers'  catalogs,  started  in  1875,  two 
years  after  the  "Publishers'  Trade  List  Annual." 
It  has,  however,  been  issued  at  irregular  periods, 
ranging  from  three  to  seven  years.  While 
many  of  the  earlier  issues  came  at  four  year 
intervals,  the  war  created  a  gap  of  seven  years 
between  the  latest  two  issues,  the  current  one 
being  dated  1920,  while  the  previous  was  dated 
1913.

Current  Clippings 

Dorothy  Parker,  whose  "Hymns  of  Hate'' 
and  humorous  contributions  to  Life  and  other 
periodicals  are  so  well  known,  is  preparing  a 
burlesque  book  on  etiquette  to  be  published  by 
Putnam.  It  treats  of  society  in  general  and 
letter  writing  in  particular — invitations,  "thank- 
you  letters,"  and  the  like.  The  title  is  "R.S. 
V.P." 

Lecturers  whose  appearance  on  the  local 
platforms  in  the  fall  is  likely  to  stimulate 
interest  in  books  are  Gilbert  K.  Chesterton, 
who  will  be  in  America  again  next  season ; 
John  Drinkwater  and  Edwin  Markham,  who, 
besides  readings  from  his  own  works,  has  a 
lecture  on  "Plain  Talks  on  Poetry." 

When  there  -was  a  rumor  in  1912  in  the 
press  that  gold  had  been  found  in  the  Arctic 
Islands,  three  expeditions  were  sent  out  to 
hunt  for  treasure,  one  from  Newfoundland,  one 
from  Montreal  and  a  third  from  Quebec.  The 
story  of  this  third  expedition  is  told  by  Alfred 
Tremblay  in  "The  Cruise  of  the  Minnie  Maud" 
recently  puil)li.shed  by  the  Arctic  Exchange 
and  Publishing  Limited,  Quebec. 

The  First  of  a  series  of  economic  hand- 
books, under  the  editorship  of  J.  M.  Keynes, 
has  just  been  published  by  Harcourt,  Brace 
and  Company.  This  first  volume  is  "Money" 
by  D.  H.  Robinson,  Fellow  of  Trinity  College. 
Cambridge.  It  will  ibe  followed  almost  at  once 
by  "Supply  and  Demand"  by  H.  D.  Henderson, 
Lecturer  in  Economics,  Cambridge  University. 

The  "Autobiography  of  the  Countess 
Tolstoy"  which  tells  of  her  life  with  Count 
Tolstoy  and  of  the  much  discussed  and  dis- 
puted relations,  especially  in  the  matter  of  his 
conversion,  or  reversion,  to  the  peasant  life, 
will  be  published  serially  in  The  Freeman  and 
then  in  book  form  by  Huebsoh. 

A  NEW  TYPE  of  book  columu  has  'been  de- 
veloped by  Mr.  Weber  of  the  Philadelphia 
Record  book  page,  which  is  carrying  regularly 
each  week  an  illustrated  book  talk  headed 
"Among  the  Bookshops."  Mr.  Weber  travels 
around  among  Philadelphia's  bookstores  and 
picks  up  his  ideas  as  to  what  is  selling  and 
what  should  be  commented  on  by  the  news  he 
finds  in  the  different  stores.  This  gives  local 
touch  to  the  book  news  and  also  places  the  em- 
phasis on  the  titles  that  are  actually  attracting 
attention  in  Philadelphia.  He  does  not  wait 
for  this  news  to  come  to  him,  but  digs  it  out 
from  friends  In  the  various  shops. 


Relief  for  **Hard  Readers" 

THE  "hard  reader"  referred  to  in  this  case 
is  not  the  reader  of  books,  but  it  is  the 
name  customarily  used  in  the  post  office  for 
the  group  of  experts  who  sift  the  imperfectly 
addressed  mail  and  whose  knowledge  of  tirms 
and  advertisers  is  so  extensive  that  they  can 
send  hundreds  of  letters  with  faulty  addresses 
on  their  way  which  would  otherwise  go  to  the 
dead  letter  office  or  to  the  "directory  service" 
staff. 

The  government,  in  a  Postal  Improvement 
Week,  May  ist-6th,  has  been  endeavoring  to 
get  the  public's  ear  on  this  whole  question  of 
inefficient  addressing,  so  that  the  staff  of  "hard 
readers"  and  "directory  service"  readers  may 
be  relieved  somewhat  in  their  labors.  In  New 
York  alone  the  special  service  costs  $500  a  day. 
In  Chicago  10,000,000  pieces  are  given  addresses 
annually  and  in  Boston  5,000,000  pieces.  Most 
of  this  incomplete  addressing  is  the  result  of 
business  office  laziness,  or,  ais  the  Postmaster 
says,  "Not  knowing  the  address,  they  think  of 
the  portrait  on  the  2c  stamp  and  make  up  their 
minds  to  'let  George  do  it.' "  This  carelessness 
means  post  office  trouble,  and  delays,  which  the 
senders  often  erroneously  blame  to  the  post 
office  and  its  supposed  habit  of  careless 
operation. 

Besides  asking  for  greater  care  in  addressing, 
the  post  office  makes  a  just  plea  for  a  greater 
use  of  "cards"  on  the  outside  of  all  envelopes. 
Many  people  who  insist  on  this  on  their  busi- 
ness correspondence  do  not  take  equal  care  on 
their  personal  correspondence,  and  the  result  is 
that  thousands  of  pieces  go  to  the  dead  letter 
office.  In  fact,  20,000,000  letters  are  handled  in 
the  dead  letter  office  in  Washington  in  a  single 
year,  none  of  which  need  have  gone  there  if 
there  had  been  a  sender's  address  in  the. corner 
or  on  the  back.  Other  causes  of  post  office 
trouble  are  careless  weighing,  guessing  at  post- 
age, putting  the  mail  in  second-class  that  be- 
longs in  third  or  fourth-class,  while  a  little 
care  would  serve  all  delay. 

At  one  other  point  the  post  offices,  espe- 
cially of  the  large  cities,  deserve  all  the  support 
possible,  and  that  is  on  the  subject  of  early 
mailing.  At  present,  the  major  part  of  the 
force  of  these  city  offices  is  a  night  force, 
necessitated  because  of  the  practice  of  putting 
almost  the  entire  business  mail  into  the  boxes 
at  night  This  is  largely  a  matter  of  habit, 
and  a  little  planning  in  the  1)iisiness  office  would 
relieve  a  pressure  that  would  greatly  expedite 
deliveries  and  train  connections.  The  post 
office  is  doinii:  well  to  seek  out  the  public  and 
keep  its  difficulties  before  it,  as  only  by 
reasonable  co-operation  can  constructive  gaims 
t>e  made.

The  Paper  Situation 

THE  union  of  workmen  in  the  paper  mills  is 
still  in  negotiation  with  the  employers  with 
regard  to  the  threatened  decreaise.  The  de- 
cision will  not  he  reached  till  the  middle  of 
the  month.  This  wage  difficdlty  does  not  af- 
fect the  mills  where  Ijook  paper  is  made, 
which,  with  hut  few  exceptions,  are  open  shop. 
The  International  Paper  Company,  among  the 
newspaper  mills,  is  also  open  shop,  but  the 
others  in  this  field  are  unionized. 

American  Paper  Production 

VERY  full  statistics  on  paper  production 
over  ten  years  have  just  been  tabulated 
for  -the  last  number  of  the  Paper  Trade  Journal 
These  figures  show  that  the  total  value  of  all 
papers  as  manufactured  in  the  United  States 
has  risen  from  $367,000,000  in  1909  to  $788,- 
000,000  in  1919.  The  totals  for  book  paper 
are  of  ispecial  interest  in  the  trade,  altho,  of 
course,  but  a  fraction  of  the  paper  classed  as 
book  paper  is  used  in  the  publication  of  books, 
the  government  estimate  a  few  years  ago  being 
that  this  figure  would  be  between  5%  and  6% 
of  the  total.  The  large  consumption  of  book 
paper  rests  with  the  periodicals  and  the  job 
press. 

Book  Paper  Production 

1914  1919 

Total  of  plain  finish     786,626  tons    818,820  tons 
Total  of  coated  117,342  tons     132,454  tons 

Total  of  binders, 

trunk  and  press 

board  61,453  tons  43,091  tons 
Total  of  chip  board     695,963  tons 

This  latter  item  was  in  the  1914  figures 
grouped  with  manj'^  other  types,  and  figures 
cannot  be  given. 

If  the  government's  estimate  of  the  percent- 
age of  book  paper  used  for  books  is  correct, 
there  would  have  been  used  in  that  year  of  191 9, 
about  100,000,000  lbs.  of  plain  finished  papers  in 
l)ooks  with  perhaps  20%  more  in  coated  papers. 
This  estimate  would  seem  to  tally  fairly  well 
with  the  best  estimates  of  (book  manufacturing 
totals  in  the  United  States, 

Printing  Production  in  New  York 

THE  last  monthly  report  from^the  Industrial 
Commission  of  the  State  of  New  York 
indicated  that  in  the  Printing  and  Book-Mak- 
ing section  of  New  York  State  industry  there 
are  4%  more  employees  than  in  June  191 4,  and 
a  93%  increase  in  wage.  For  the  month  of 
February  there  were  4,3%  less  men  at  work 
than  the  previous  year  and  4.3%  less  pay  roll. 
Most  of  thi-s  loss  has  occurred  since  the  first 
of  January,  1922. 


Can  Subscription  Publishers 
Collect? 

THE  Appellate  Court  of  Chicago  has  given 
an  important  ruling  in  connection  with  a 
suit  of  R.  B.  Higbee,  purchaser  of  a  set  of 
the  "Encyclopedia  Britannica,"  against  Sears 
Roebuck  &  jCompany,  avhich  will  greatly  af- 
fect the  condition  of  mail  order  bookselling 
luiileas  the  case  is  appealed  and  another  de- 
cision reached. 

Mr.  Higbee  is  a  real  estate  broker  in 
Chicago,  and  purchased  a  set  of  the  "Encyclo- 
pedia" lat  $82,  paying!  at  the  rate  of  $5  a  month. 
He  finally  refused  to  continue  payments  when 
a  disagreement  arose  Ijetween  him  and  Sears 
Roebuck  &  Company  as  to  the  amount  paid. 
The  attorneys  for  the  mail  order  house  ob- 
tained judgment  against  Higbee  for  the  balance 
due,  ibut  later  had  this  judgment  vacated  and 
obtained  a  writ  of  replevin.  The  set  of  books 
was  then  seized  over  Higbee's  (protest,  and  he 
stood  to  lose  the  money  already  paid  on  the 
contract.  A  lower  court  rendered  a  decision 
in  ifavor  of  Sears  Roebuck  &  Company,  but 
the  higher  court  hjus  now  reversed  this  de- 
cision. This  ruling  would  protect  the  pur- 
chaser of  goods  on  any  part  payment  plan 
from  having  the  goods  replevined  by  the  pub- 
lisher and  the  purchase  money  so'  far  paid  on 
the  contract  kept. 


New  England  Caravan  For  Sale 

THE  Women's  National  Educational  and  In- 
dustrial Union  ctf  Boston,  which,  thru  its 
Bookshop  for  Boys  and  Girls,  has  conducted 
the  Book  Caravan  for  the  past  two  years,  has 
decided  not  to  put  it  on  the  read  this  summer, 
and  the  Caravan  is  for  sale.  The  truck  was 
remarkably  well  planned  for  its  purpose,  and 
some  other  book!  agency  may  be  interested  to 
buy  it  and  keep  it  to  its  important  task  of 
bringing  book's  to  widespread  communities. 


Those  Who  Reach  the  Masses 

THE  amount  of  newspaper  attention  given 
to  the  death  of  "Nick  Carter"  emphasizes 
again  the  desire  of  i)eople  to  give  credit  to 
those  who  can  really  reach  the  masses  in  any 
of  the  forms  of  literary  or  dramatic  expres- 
sion An  interesting  comparison  between  tlie 
fame  of  "Nick  Carter"  and  that  of  Giarlie 
Chaplin  has  been  pointed  out  in  an  editorial 
in  the  New  York  Evening  Post,  which  cor- 
rectly sayis  that  the  emphasis  on  these  men 
may  ibe  in  large  measure  a  passionate  desire 
on  the\  part  of  tihc  intellectual  to  identify  him- 
self with  common  humanitv.

A  CORRECTION 

May  9th,   1922. 
Editor,  Publishers  Weekly: 

In  the  article  on  the  proposed  reorganization 
of  Harper  &  Brothers,  printed  in  your  issue 
of  May  6th,  two  errors  of  statement  appear 
which  are  of  isuoh  importance  that  we  feel  sure 
you  will  be  glad  to  correct  them. 

You  speak  of  certain  changes  that  began  with 
the  selling  of  our  subscription  book  business 
to  the  P.  F.  Collier  &  Son  Company  nine 
months  ago. 

We  have  not  sold  pur  subscription  book  busi- 
ness and  have  no  intention  of  doing  so.  Our 
relation  with  the  Collier  company  is  practically 
the  same  as  that  which  exists  between  ourselves 
and  Grosset  &  Dunlap  and  with  the  A.  L. 
Burt  Company. 

The  P.  F.  Collier  &  Son  Company  pay  us  a 
royalty  on  every  set  of  subscription  books 
printed  from  our  plates.  We  have  made  them 
the  exclusive  sales  agents  of  our  many  sub- 
scription sets.  The  move  was  one  made  in  the 
interests  of  efficiency  and  economy  for  both 
companies.  The  P.  F.  Collier  &  Son  Company 
have  no  relations  with  our  authors  and  operate 
under  our  contracts. 

The  second  error  in  your  article  is  your 
statement  that  the  Morgan  interests  have  taken 
over  the  Harper  real  estate  at  Franklin  Square. 

This  also  is  untrue.  We  own  the  real  estate 
and  buildings  and  shall  continue  to  occupy 
our  present  offices  until  such  time  as  our  new 
uptown  quarters  shall  be  ready  for  us.  What 
disposition  will  be  made  of  this  real  estate  in 
the  future  is  entirely  problematical.

The  Rabelais  Case 

THE,  court  tihrew  out  on  a  technicality  the 
case  of  the  Government  vs.  Stewart  Kidd 
on  the  question  o^f  shipping  a  copy  of  Rabelais 
on  a  mail  order  froin  Cincinnati  to  Michigan. 
The  prosecutor  had  not  drawn  the  bill  properly 
so  ais  to  include  the  name  of  the  lKX)k.  A  later 
date  will  probably  'be  set  for  the  case.  This 
is  the  first  time  that  the  giovernment  has  taken 
up  a  case  when  the  interstate  business  has 
been  done  by  tihe  American  Railway  Express. 

Personals 

Virginia  Smith  Cowper.  bibliographical 
editor  of  the  Publishers'  Weekly,  has  resigned

active  spirit  in  the  Woman's  National  Book 
Association  and  has  conducted  an  interesting 
page  of  their  doings  in  the  Weekly. 

Victor  W.  Cupples  has  recently  returned 
from  a  three  months'  vacation,  during  which 
he  made  a  tour  of  the  Orient  via  the  Mediter-

Business  Notes 

Cambridge,  Mas s.-^" Your  Community  Book- 
shop" was  opened  on  May  list,  at  35  Boylston 
Street,  just  off  Harvard  Square.  The  propri- 
etors are  McDevitt- Wilson's,  New  York,  and 
the  manager  Ewen  Mclntyre,  Jr.,  formerly  in 
charge  of  the  jmail  order  department  and  cata- 
loging of  the  Harvard  Cooperative  Store.  He 
will  be  assisted,  by  Miss  Mclntyre,  his  sister, 
w!ho  was  also  with  the  Cooperative.  The  shop 
intends  to  deal  in  general  literature,  new  books,

Rare  Books,  Autographs  and  Prints 


GABRIEL  WELLS  has  sold  the  last  com- 
plete 'book    of   the    Gutenberg   Bible   to 
Mortimer    Schiff,   who  has   presented   it 
to  the  Jewish  Theological   Seminary. 

The  Czechs  have  recataloged  the  famous  Uni- 
versity Library  at  Prague.  It  is  now  said  to 
contain  3,537  manuscripts,  24,650  dissertations, 
1,461  volumes  classed  as  rare  first  editions  and 
405,305  bound  volumes  in  the  general  collec- 
tion. 

The  success  of  the  Vail  sale  has  settled  the 
character  of  this  season.  It  will  be  remarkable 
for  the  maintenance  of  a  very  uniform  fair 
level  of  prices  for  rare  books  during  a  period 
of  business  depression  and  low  prices  for  prints 
and  paintings. 

The  library  of  the  late  I.  Remsen  Lane  of 
Orange,  N.  J.,  comprising  choice  library  edi- 
tions of  standard  authors  in  fine  bindings  by 
Bradstreet,  Riviere  and  Zachnsdorf ;  publica- 
tions of  the  Grolier  Club,  the  Riverside  Press, 
and  other  clubs  and  special  presses ;  and  many 
desirable  miscellaneous  books  constituting  a 
very  choice  reader's  library,  will  be  sold  at 
the  Anderson  Galleries  May  16  and  17. 

On  May  17  and  18  woodcuts,  line  engravings, 
mezzotints,  color  prints  and  drawings  by  old 
and  modern  masters  including  Rembrandt, 
Durer,  Andreani,  Earlom,  Green,  Hollar,  Haden 
and  Meryon,  the  property  of  the^  late  John  B. 
Pearse  of  Roxbury,  Mass.,  will  be  sold  at  the 
Americart  Art  Galleries.  Another  collection  of 
modem  prints  from  the  estate  of  the  late 
Albert  J.  Morgan  of  Larchmont,  N.  Y.,  with 
additions  will  be  5old  at  the  Anderson  Gal- 
leries on  the  evening  of  May  18. 

Another  collection  of  special  interest  to  deal- 
ers and  collectors,  the  library  of  John  M.  Pat- 
terson of  Philadelphia,  will  be  sold  at  the 
Anderson  Galleries  May  15.  It  contains  many 
fine  examples  of  the  historic  presses,  among 
them  those  of  Gutenlxirg,  Caxton,  Elzevir,  Al- 
dus, Plantin,  Baiskerville,  Strawberry  Hill  and 
Kelmscott;  250  lots  of  first  editions,  autograph 
letters  of  and  books  relating  to  Charles  Dickens  ; 
first  editions  of  Thackeray  and  Dr.  Samuel 
Johnson;  and  many  carefully  selected  items  of 
various  periods  in  great  variety.  Altogether 
it  is  a  two  session  sale  of  real  importance. 

Americana  from  the  library  of  B.  L.  Gregg 
of  Cleveland,  O.,  will  be  sold  at  the  .American 
Art  Galleries  May  17.  There  are  few  rarities, 
the   books   being  mainly   clioicc    library    hooks 


in  good  condition.  There 
standing  interest :  a  desk 
Grant  and  used  by  him  wh

practically  complete  set  of

are  two  lots  of  out-

Autograph  letters,  framed  portraits,  extra- 
illustrated  books,  first  editions  of  modern  au- 
thors and  miscellaneous  library  books  from  the 
libraries  of  Jonathan  Ackerman  Coles,  LL.D., 
the  late  J.  P.  Pearse  of  Roxibury,  Mass.,  Mrs. 
A.  W.  Churcii  of  Portchester,  N.  Y.,  with  ad- 
ditional consiignmeii^ts,  will,  be  sold  at  the 
American  Art  Galleries  May  16  and  17.  The 
rarer  lots  include  the  publications  of  William 
Loring  Andrews,  a  portrait  of  Charles  Dickens 
in  oil  by  Charles  Ream ;  l)indings  with  ivory 
miniatures  by  Miss  Currie ;  a  fine  copy  of  the 
first  edition  of  the  Nuremberg  Clironicle,  1493; 
autograph  letters  of  the  presidents  and  letters 
and  signatures  of  the  Signers  of  the  Declara- 
tion of  independence;  first  editions  of  Steven- 
son; and  autograph  letters  and  documents  of 
Washington   and    Napoleon. 

Early  ))rinted  books,  illuminated  manuscripts 
and  royal  documents,  the  property  of  William 
C.  Van  .Antwerp  of  San  Franciisco,  were  sold 
at  the  American  Art  Galleries  May  i,  50  lots 
bringing  $39,956.50.  Because  the  sale  of  this 
kind  of  material  was  confined  to  a  very  small 
group  of  l)uycrs,  the  general  opinion  was  that 
prices  would  be  low.  The  general  result  how- 
ever, was  better  than  expected  altho  the  owner 
•sustained  a  considerable  loss.  The  star  lot, 
an  illuminated  manuscript  of  Froissart's 
"Chronicles,"  a  magnificent  example  of  the 
fourteenth  century  rich  in  association  interest, 
was  bought  by  James  F.  Drake  for  $12,900. 
The  five  Caxtons  including  Chaucer's  "Can- 
terbury Taileis-,"  1475,  whioii  brought  $950; 
Higden's  "Polychronicon,"  1482,  $1,900;  Gow- 
er's  "Confession  Amantis,"  r483,  $3,200;  Ces- 
soli's  '"The  Game  and  Playye  of  Chesse,"  1483. 
$3,200;  and  Virgil's  "Eneydos,"  1490,  $1,000. 
all  went  to  Dr.  A.  S.  W.  Rosenbach,  who  also 
bought  the  Coverdale  Bible,  1535,  the  first 
complete  Bible  in  English,  for  $2,300.  William 
Morris's  Bible,  an  illuminated  manuscript  on 
vellum  of  the  fifteenth  century,  delightful  as 
a  work  of  art  and  for  its  association  interest, 
was  bought  by  Gabriel  Wells  for  $500.  Royal 
documentis  seldom  appeal  strongly  to  American 
buyers  and  this  collection  was  not  an  exception. 
The  highest  price,  $700.  was  paid  for  a  docu- 
ment signed  by  Edward  VI  of  England.

Attention,  Mr.  Bookseller : 

We  have  secured  a  limited  number  of  sets 
of  the  complete  works  of  Ambrose  Blerce. 

This  author's  works  are  well-known  to  the 
bookseller  and  it  has  been  almost  impossible 
to  secure  sets  for  the  past  few  years.  Dealers 
have  advertised  in  these  columns  in  their 
search  for  them  and  few  have  been  located. 

While  they  last  we  offer  these  sets  to  the 
trade  at  remarkably  low  prices  for  this  beau- 
tiful set  of  books. 

The  set  is  in  12  volumes,  handsomely  bound 
in  Art  Cloth,  Board  Sides  and  Paper  Label

a  liquid  substitute  for  gold  or  imitation

reduced  prices  where  gold  effects  are  de-

Making  The  House 
A  Home 

A  Masterpiece  in  Prose 
By  Edgar  A.  Guest 

IJA  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. 

^It  brings  to  everj^  father  and  mother  the  under- 
standing 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."

I  OCKE 


By  Arthur  J.  Rees 

One  of  the  most  ingenious  stories  of  this 
master  writer  of  mystery  yarns.  "The 
story  rushes  forward  with  the  swiftness  of 
Stevenson  and  the  uncanny  qualities  of  Poe. 
One  must  look  to  the  pages 
of  someone  like  Thomas 
Hardy,  however,  for  a  paral- 
lel to  the  human  interest 
which  renders  MOON 
ROCK,  among  stories  of  its 
kind,  almost  unique." — Phila- 
delphia  Ledger.  $2.00

J258  The  Publishers'   Weekly 


SELLING  BOOKS 
IN  CHICAGO 

is  a  problem  that  has  resolved  itself  into  a  few  simple  elementals, 
that  astute  publishers  have  learned  and  apply. 

The  first  factor  in  book  selling  in  this  amazingly  concentrated  and 
prosperous  market,  is  to  make  the  book  known  to  the  Chicago  book 
consumers  through  their  accustomed  medium  of  literary  information — 
"The  Book  Page"  of  The  Chicago  Daily  News. 

It  is  a  fact  important  for  authors,  publishers  and  readers  to  bear 
in  mind,  that  the  Wednesday  Book  Page  of  The  Daily  News  practically 
revolutionized  the  business  of  literary  criticism  as  theretofore  conducted 
by  American  newspapers. 

Readers  were  quick  to  appreciate  this  new  and  lively  force  in 
literary  affairs — and  the  publishers  have  not  been  slow  to  follow  the 
readers,  as  the  following  comparative  table  of  book  advertising  for 
the  first  quarter  of  1922  will  show,  figures  which  but  repeat  the  record 
of  preceding  years.

KIMON6 


Kimono  is  already  creating  a  furore  in  this 
country  comparable  with  the  sensation  it  has 
made  in  England,  China,  and  Japan,  having  sold 
almost  20,000  copies  in  less  than  six  weeks 
time.  , 

"A  book  which  frothed  the  little  teacup  of 
English  criticism  into  a  tempest  of  praise.  .  .  . 
It  is  'thrilling'  enough  for  the  most  jaded  tastes. 
But  it  is  something  a  great  deal  more  than  that. 
.  ,  .  And  it  will  become  a  fat  old  best  seller."

in  so  interesting  a  way  that  I  could  not  put  the 
book  down,  but  kept  on  reading  it  for  three  or 
four  days."  Francis  Hacket  says:  "Vocations

passionate. No  other  novel  on  this  theme  com- 
pares   with    it."  $2.00

,  A  breezy,  humorous,  well-written  novel  for  the 
tired  business-man  and  the  tired  business-woman. 
"It  is  a  fast-moving  narrative,  amazing,  exciting 
and  with  enough  love  interest  to  commend  it 
to  the  reader  of  light  fiction.  Besides,  it  gives 
an  opportunity  for  a  peep  behind  the  scenes!"

THE  ENORMOUS  ROOM 

John  V.  A.  Weaver  says  "Before  I  finished  the 
first  chapter,  I  found  that  I  was  galloping  through 
a  narrative  which  had  more  interest  in  it  than 
any  I  had  seen  in  many  years.  In  the  midst  of 
heart-breaking  situations  flashes  of  genuine  rumor 
enliven  every  page  Cunnings  has  succeeded  where 
Dos   Passos  did  not  quite." 

Robert  Nathan  says:  "It's  really  an  amazing 
piece  of  work.  Makes  Three  Soldiers  look  like 
a    kindergarten    book."  $2.00

In  the  publisher's  opinion  the  most  important 
autobiography  since  "The  Education  of  Henry 
Adams."  Stuart  P.  Sherman  says:  "To  my  taste 
it  is  ^far  more  palatable  than  nineteen  out  of 
Eibvtels  and  far  better  worth  publishing.' 
ler  Woollcott  writes:  "I  have  just  fin- 
leii  Lewisohn's  Up  Stream  and  I  am  minded 
send  a  copy  to  every  active  adult  I  know. 
The  texture  of  his  prose  is  of  continuous  and 
astounding  beauty."

MV  American  diary 

Clare  Sheridan  and  her  "Diaries"  are  too  well 
known  to  need  much  comment.  One  sentence  of 
the  half-page  review  in  the  Pittsburgh  Dispatch 
is  representative  of  what  every  one  is  saying: 
"My  American  Diary  can  confidently  be  predicted 
as  a  coming  best # seller  on  its  intrinsic  merits, 
and  not  from  being  foisted  upon  a  duped  public 
by    the   too   prevalent   conspiratorial    system."

TERRIBLY  INTIMATE 
PORTRAITS 

A  delicious  burlesque.  Terribly  intimate  bi- 
ographies of  people  who  are  terribly  intimate  with 
somebody  or  other.  The  characters  are  veiled 
just  thickly  enough  to  make  it  possible  for  a(  dis- 
cerning person  to  recognize  and  properly  label 
them  all.  Lorn  Macnaughton's  captivating  wood- 
cut reproductions  from  old  masters  epitomize  the 
rare  spirit  of  foolery  of  this  unsual  book.  The 
volume;  is  a  fine  examnle  of  the  book-maker's  art. 


And,  of  course,  the  best-selling  non-fiction  book  of 
the  year,  HENDRIK  VAN  LOON'S  THE  STORY  OF

BONI  AND  LIVERIGHT  announce  the 
publication  in  January,  1923,  of 

FLAMING  YOUTH 

THIS  powerful  novel  is  the  story  of  the  flapper- 
ultra-qua-non,  of  her  affairs  at  country  clubs 
and  cozy  home-dances  with  cake  eaters,  with 
all  the  accompaniments  of  prohibition  stimulants, 

etc not  all   from  the   angle   of  the  younger 

generation  but  written  with  sincere  and  philosophi- 
cal significance  by  an  author  who  knows  what  he  is 
writing  about  and  who  chooses  to  assume  the  pen 
name  of  Warner  Fabian.  Unlike  practically  all  of 
the  recent  novels  of  this  genre,  Flaming  Youth 
paints  a  broad  canvas  and  instead  of  presenting  only 
one  or  two  interesting  characters,  introduces  the 
reader  to  what  the  theatrical  manager  would  adver- 
tise as  a  galaxy  of  stars. 

The  Metropolitan  Magazine 

publishes  the  first  instalment  of  Flaming  Youth  in  August 
of  this  year.  During  the  intervening  six  months  (between 
August  and  January)  we  should  like  you  to  read  this 
story  as  it  appears  monthly.  We  have  made  arrange- 
ments to  send  The  Metropolitan  Magazine  each  month  to 
booksellers  so  that  they  can  have  the  opportunity  not 
only  of  following  the  amazing  twists  and  turns  of  Flaming 
Youth  but  because  we  feel  that  a  subscription  to  The 
Metropolitan  Magazine,  replete  as  it  is  with  interesting 
fiction  and  general  articles,  will  be  more  accept- 
able to  the  trade  than  merely  another  advance  copy 
of  another  book.  Anyone  connected  with  any 
bookstore  in  this  country  may  receive  this  com- 
plimentary subscription  to  The  Metropolitan  Maga- 
zine by  advising  us  of  the  home  address  to  which 
it  should  be  sent.

A  GUIDE  TO 

MEN 

BEING    ENCORE    REFLECTIONS 
OF  A  BACHELOR  GIRL 


by  HELEN  ROWLAND 

FOREWORD    BY    FANNY    HURST 

Helen  Rowland's  newest  and  sprightliest  book — a  masterpiece  of  flash- 
ing 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  anything  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,  salted  with 
tears,  spiced  with  doubt,  tla- 
vored  with  noveltj'-  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."

Unanimous  Again! 


Gentle  Julia  "Don't  miss  this  book,  but  don't  try  to 
read  it  aloud  to  anyone,  You  couldn't  do  it  justice,  not  in 
its  best  parts,  because  no  one  can  speak  distinctly  who  is 
all  broken  up  with  laughing." 

HILDEGARDE  HAWTHORNE  in  the  New  York  Times 

Gentle  Julia  is  "Tarkington  at  his  best;  it  could  not  be  more  readable. 
It  is  simply  delightful  from  cover  to  cover  ."  New  York  Post 

Gentle  Julia  is  "Altogether  delightful.  Mr.  Tarkington  has  given  us 
real  boys  several  times  before  nor  has  he  neglected  their  female  equivalent, 
but  he  has  never  done  so  well  with  the  juvenile  feminine  as  here." 

New  York  Sun 

Gentle  Julia  "If  we  had  never  heard  of  Mr.  Tarkington  before,  it  would 
be  abundant  proof  that  he  has  the  peculiar  power  of  creating  people." 

New  York  Herald 

Gentle  Julia  "More  humor  than  any  one  writer  should  be  allowed  to 
crowd  into  a  single  book — it  makes  it  too  difficult  for  his  contemporaries." 

Morning  Telegraph  (N.  Y.) 

Gentle  Julia  "If  there  is  more  fun  than  reading  a  book  like  "Gentle 
Julia,"  we  should  like  its  name  and  local  habitations." 

F.P.A.  in  the  New  York  World 

Gentle  Julia  is  "A  salubrious  reaction  from  the  solemn  sex  fiction  of  the 
day,  and,  to  me,  much  more  understanding  and  understandable." 

PERCY  HAMMOND  in  the  New  York  Tribune 

Gentle  Julia  "We  haven't  laughed  so  uproariously  in  some  time.  .  . 
It  is  the  best  of  out-and-out  fun-making." 

JOHN  V.  A.  WEAVER  in  the  Brooklyn  Daily  Eagle 

Gentle  Julia    "This  is  a  good  book." 

HEYW  OOD  BROUN  in  the  New  York  World 


1,000  PEOPLE,  subscribers  to  The  Outlook,  were  asked  to  give  the  name 

of  the  best  living  author.    The  first  choice  was  Rudyard  Kipling,  the  second 
Booth  Tarkington — both,  we  are  proud  to  say,  our  authors. 

ALL  OF  THE  BOOKSELLERS  were  asked  by  The  Publishers'  Weekly  to 

vote  for  the  "most  significant  living  American  writer."     The  result  put 
Booth  Tarkington  first  on  the  list.

EVELYN  SCOTT'S 

''Narcissus'' 

By  the  author  of  ''The  Narrow  House'' 

A  novel  that  expresses  in  its  insight  into  human  nature,  the 
loss  of  standards,  the  feverish  turbulence  of  modern  life.  Through 
the  revelation  of  their  mental  life  Mrs.  Scott  has  created  a  group 
of  characters  whom  it  is  difficult  to  forget,  for  the  reader  pene- 
trates the  masks  with  which  they  face  the  outer  world. 

"She  has  the  artist's  conscience.'*    Henry  S.  Canby  in  the  N.  Y.  Eve- 
ning Post.  $1-75 

LYTTON  STRACHEY'S 

''Books  and  Characters" 

By  the  author  of  ''Queen  Victoria'' 

Fourteen  essays  on  French  and  English  personalities  and 
literary  subjects  that  have  long  claimed  the  author's  interest,  and 
he  treats  them  with  the  skill  and  mastery  his  readers  have  come 
to  expect.

SELWYN  JEPSON'S 

"The  Qualified  Adventurer" 

A  tale  of  adventure,  with  a  slight  sub-flavor  of  farce,  in 
which  the  hero,  who  is  himself  the  author  of  adventure  stories, 
is  forced  by  a  strange  chance  to  track  down  the  great  jade 
'Treasure  of  the  Manchus,"  buried  by  a  German  at  the  time  of  the 
Boxer  rising  in  China. 

"The  book,  with  its  strange  and  happily  devised  sequel,  is  well  worth 
reading." — London  Times.  $1-75

Still   Forward 

THE  Conventions  of  the  booksellers  dur- 
ing the  past  three  or  four  years  have 
shown  such  steady  increase  in  numbers 
and  power  that  it  would  not  have  been  sur- 
prising if  there  had  been  some  misgivings 
among  the  leaders  for  fear  that  a  pause  in 
the  growth  might  be  reached.  The  Washing- 
ton gathering  showed,  however,  increases  in 
membership,  in  attendance,  and  in  sustained 
interest  in  the  program. 

By  the  time  the  convention  was  over  and 
all  the  figures  were  in,  the  membership  regis- 
tration on  the  Treasurer's  books  had  reached 
nearly  five  hundred,  which  is  almost  double 
the  record  of  three  years  ago.  The  conven- 
tion showed  no  signs  of  being  satisfied  with 
this,  however,  but  its  first  resolution  called 
for_  a  continuance  of  the  effort  to  reach  a 
thousand.  A  strong  speech  was  made  by 
William  W.  Norman  of  Baltimore  on  the  sub- 
ject of  obtaining  a  really  adequate  national 
membership.  One  of  the  things  which  re- 
emphasizes  the  importance  of  this  national 
growth  is  the  fact  that  subjects  of  such  uni- 
versal significance  are  coming  up  for  action, 
including  the  important  legislation  at  the 
Capitol.  Another  virtue  in  such  a  program  of 
expansion  comes  from  the  realization  by  all, 
that  members  coming  from  a  distance  bring 
fresh  and  distinct  contributions  to  all  discus- 
sions. The  selection  of  Detroit  for  the  iiext 
convention  ought  to  give  opportunity  to 
strengthen'  the  membership  in  the  Middle 
West  and  to  give  many  new  people  an  oppor- 
tunity to  get  the  stimulus  of  convention 
atmosphere.  It  should  also  give  opportunity 
for  broader  hospiftality  to  Canadian  book- 
sellers, who  were  represented  officially  this 
year  by  Mr.  C.  Foster  Brown  of  Montreal  and 


also  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  W.  H.  Kerfoot  of 
Smith's  Falls,  Ontario.  The  bookselling  prob- 
lem of  these  two|  countries  are  so  very  similar 
that  there  should  be  frequent  contacts. 

The  cool  attractiveness  of  the  convention 
hall  may  have  been  one  reason  why  the 
attendance  thru  the  different  sessions  was 
very  large,  but  it  was  principally  due  to  the 
excellent  planning  of  the  subjects  discussed 
and  the  interest  that  was  aroused  in  the  dele- 
gates' minds.  On  Monday  afternoon,  after 
the  formal  reports,  two  strong  and  suggestive 
messages  were  brought  from  the  northwest. 
Miss  Andrus  of  Seattle  contributed  a  paper, 
which  she  could  not  be  present  to  read,  on 
"Selling  Juveniles  the  Year  Round,"  and  John 
T.  Hotchkiss  of  the  J.  K.  Gill  Co,  Portland, 
delivered  a  helpful  and  extremely  practical 
paper  on  "Modern  Bookstore  Management." 
These  papers  formed  a  valuable  contribution 
from  a  distant  section  of  the  country  and  are 
worthy  of  most  careful  reading  by  every 
retailer. 

Year  Round  Bookselling  came  naturally  to 
the  front  and  was  emphasized  by  a  complete 
display  of  posters  and  charts,  which  brought 
home  to  the  audience  the  real  magnitude  of 
what  is  being  done.  Mr.  Melcher,  as  Secre- 
tary for  the  Committee,  reported  on  the 
present  status  of  the  plan  on  Monday,  and 
Mr.  Macauley's  admirable  rejoinder  from  the 
retail  point  of  view  was  postponed  to  Wednes- 
day on  account  of  lack  of  time.  This  last  pa- 
per so  thoroly  covered  the  retailer's  part  in 
the  program  that  it  has  been  specially  re- 
printed and  sent  out  by  the  Year  Round 
Bookselling  Committee. 

"Price  Standardization,"  which  was  the 
dominating  theme  of  the  convention,  took  its 
place  on  the  Tuesday  program,  and  the  sub- 
ject was  rounded  out  in  a  series  of  four 
speeches,  which  give  the  book-trade  a  com- 
plete view  of  this  subject  so  vital  to  trade 
interests.  These  papers  deserve  careful 
reading  by  those  who  are  interested  in  book- 
trade  progress,  and  the  subject  could  hardly 
have  been  presented  more  completely  and  more 
systematically.  The  book-trade  showed  several 
times,  thru  the  convention,  that  it  realizes  its 
immediate  problem  in  fostering  a  wiser  atti- 
tude among  its  members  on  the  question  of 
price  maintenance  on  current  books.  This 
point  was  strongly  emphasized  in  the  resolu- 
tions and  was  present  in  much  of  the  informal 
.  discussion.

The  Publishers'   Weekly 


What  Next  in  Association  Work? 

THE  resolutions  of  the  convention 
seemed  to  embody  more  completely  and 
carefully  than  has  ever  before  been  the 
case  the  subjects  that  are  to  the  front  in  the 
minds  of  the  bookseller.  The  Committee, 
under  the  experienced  leadership  of  Vernor 
M.  Schenck,  drafted  a  score  of  resolutions 
that  were  admirably  drawn. 

In  the  field  of  retail  progress  the  sugges- 
tion was  made  that  there  should  be  a  par- 
ticular emphasis  in  bookstores  during  the 
next  few  years  on  salesmanship  and  on  the 
training  of  salesmen.  Booksellers  were 
urged  to  start  their  training  classes,  and  in 
the  larger  cities  it  was  suggested  that  groups 
should  be  got  together  for  continuous  and 
systematic  study  along  the  line  of  what  had 
been  undertaken -in  Philadelphia  and  in  New 
York.  It  was  suggested  that  the  Executive 
Committee  should  prepare  during  the  next 
year  a  pamphlet  on  cost  keeping,  an  effort 
similar  in  scope  to  what  has  been  accom- 
plished by  several  national  associations,  in- 
cluding the  Stationers,  and  it  was  suggested 
that  the  President  should  send  out  to  mem- 
"bers  an  occasional  bulletin  containing  articles 
not  only  on  cost  keeping  but  on  accounting, 
the  training   of   booksellers,   etc. 

The  Year  Round  Bookselling  plan  was 
given  hearty  appreciation,  and  full  co-opera- 
tion was  offered  for  another  year,  and  the 
convention  urged  the  reconsideration  of  an 
advertising  campaign  such  as  was  proposed 
at  the  Philadelphia  Convention. 

These  suggestions  of  association  work, 
both  for  training  and  sales  expansion,  will 
give  the  new  Committee  important  plans  to 
develop  and  make  practical  during  the  next 
year.  Besides  this,  it  will  have  important 
legislative  subjects  to  face — the  need  of  pass- 
ing the  Price  Standardization  Bill,  the 
need  of  proper  tariff  schedules,  especially 
as  to  book  binding  in  the  FordneynMc- 
Cumber  Bill,  and  the  support  of  the  new 
Copyright  measure.  The  perennial  subject  of 
discounts  was  given  careful  and  tempered 
consideration,  and  the  new  Committee  was 
urged  to  do  what  it  could  to  make  universal 
the  minimum  discount  of  a  third  and  five, 
which  retailers  are  now  receiving  from  most 
publishers,  and  to  urge  that  the  discounts  on 
pick-up  orders  from  dealers  who  are  attempt- 
ing to  carry  a  real  stock  should  be  the  same 
as  on  the  orders  given  to  travelers. 


A   Contested  Election 

THE  business  meeting  of  the  convention, 
held  on  Wednesday  afternoon,  took  on 
special,  and,  to  most  of  those  present,  un- 
expected excitement  because  of  rival  tickets 
for  the  election,  so  that  this  election  was 
more  exciting  than  usual.  When  delegates 
came  into  the  hall,  Mr.  Hamblen  was 
passing  out  ballots  which  were  headed  "Re- 
construction Ticket  and  War  Caibinet,"  and 
its  text  claimed  that  the  nominees  stood  for 
vitality,  progress  and  the  greater  development 
of  the  book  business."  When  the  report  of  the 
regular  nominating  committee  was  presented 
later,  it  was  found  that  the  new  ticket  duplicated 
the  other  in  its  first  Vice  President,  Mr. 
Estabrook,  and  Treasurer,  Mr.  Kidd,  but  had 
changed  the  other  four  officers  drafting  Mr. 
Nye  and  Mr.  Hotchkiss  from  the  names  pre- 
sented for  Board  of  Trade. 

The  selection  of  the  regular  ticket  had  been 
made  by  a  committee  of  five  consisting  oi 
Walter  S.  LeAvis,  H.  V.  Korner,  M.  G.  Nus- 
baum,  L.  W.  McFarland  and  Mrs.  Morris. 
The  rival  ticket  was  sponsored  in  an  eloquent 
speech  by  Walter  McKee  of  J.  V.  Sheehan 
Company  of  Detroit,  who  claimed  that  it  was 
a  time  when  there  was  need  of  a  fighting 
cabinet  and  one  that  would  take  up  the  en- 
thusiasm of  this  convention  and  translate  it 
quickly  into  action.  He  felt  that  by^  having 
Simon  L.  Nye  of  Washington  as  President, 
whose  handling  of  this  convention  had  been  so 
extremely  able,  and  by  having  near  him  in 
Baltimore  the  First  Vice  President  and  the 
Secretary,  they  would  be  able  to  handle  the 
needs  of  any  situation  better  than  the  more 
widely  scattered  regular  ticket. 

Charles  E.  Butler  seconded  the  argument, 
claiming  that  there  was  so  much  legislation 
to  the  front  that  to  have  the  President  located 
in  Washington  would  be  particularly  valuable. 
Mr.  Melcher  pointed  out  that  in  planning  the 
new  ticket  there  had  been  a  loss  of  balance  and 
proportion  and  that  for  the  Booksellers'  Asso- 
ciation to  have  an  executive  committee  of  six 
with  no  women  represented  was  an  unfortunate 
step  backward.  There  had  been  two  on  the 
committee  during  the  past  year,  and  the  char- 
acter of  the  Association's  membership  indicated 
that  there  was  good  reason  for  that.  He  also 
emphasized  the  need  of  recognizing  in  the  vote, 
as  all  had  recognized  in  their  applause,  the  ex- 
ceptional work  of  Belle  M.  Walker  as  Secre- 
tary during  the  past  year.

First  Session — Monday  Afternoon,  May  8th 

The  Convention  was  called  to  order  at  2 130  by    President  Herr. 


President  :  When  our  good  friend,  Simon 
Nye,  invited  us  to  come  to  Washington  for  the 
convention,  he  promised  us  a  good  time  and 
that  everything  would  be  satisfactorily  ar- 
ranged. If  you  have  had  an  opportunity  to 
look  over  the  programs  that  you  secured  in 
the  registration  room,  I  thii^  you  will  agree 
with  me  that  Simon  has  promised  to  make 
good.  We  will  be  greeted  on  behalf  of  the 
City  of  Washington  by  the  Secretary  of  the 
Washington  Chamber  of  Commerce,  Arthur 
D.    Seymour. 

Address  of  Welcome 

By    Arthur    D.    Seymour, 

Secretary  of  the  Washington  Chamber 

of  Commerce. 

MY  friends— I  always  like  to  use  that  term 
on  an  occasion  of  this  kind.  I  hope 
it  may  be  my  privilege  at  this  time. 
It  is  a  pleasant  privilege  which  has  devolved 
upon  me  this  afternoon  to  extend  to  you  in 
behalf  of  the  City  of  Washington,  on  behalf 
of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce,  which  I  repre- 
sent, a  welcome. 

There  is  an  old  saying  that  "Of  the  making 
of  many  books,  thert  is  no  end,"  and  I  have 
often  wondered  what  the  author  of  that  say- 
ing would  have  thought  could  he  have  gone 
into  the  modern  lKX>kstore  of  today.  Suppose 
he  had  gone  into  the  department  presided  over 
by  our  friend,  Mr.  Nye,  or  into  the  Brentano 
store  where  Mr.  Avery  is  manager,  what 
would  the  man  have  thought,  who,  years  and 
years  ago  said:  "Of  the  making  of  many 
books,  there   is   no  end?" 


In  welcoming  you  to  our  city  this  afternoon, 
we  welcome  you  as  well  to  your  city,  for 
there  is  no  American  today  who  has  not  the 
right  to  claim  a  share  in  the  city  of  Washing- 
ton; it  is  the  nation's  city.  We  speak  of 
New  York  and  we  think  of  that  great  metro- 
polis upon  the  Atlantic  seaboard, — of  Chicago, 
and  we  think  of  the  bustling,  stirring  city  of 
the  Middle  West — of  New  Orleans,  and  a 
picture  of  the  sunny  South  comes  to  mind. 
We  have  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  Los  Angeles 
and  San  Francisco,  and  we  think  of  those 
cities  out  there  that  belong  to  tlie  Pacific  sea- 
board. 

But  when  we  think  of  Washington  we 
think  of  the  nation's  capital ;  we  think  of  that 
city  which  of  right  has  come  to  be  known  as 
the  heart  of   the  nation.     It   is  your  city  as 

well    as    mine.       Yoti    h-.ivn    n     <U:\rn     Jii     n't     t^ilt 

makes  it  great. 

There    is    one    thuuynt    unt    i    want    to    icavi- 

with  you  as  I  close.  Recently  we  passed  thru 
the  greatest  crisis  that  the  world  has  ever 
seen.  During  that  period,  on  numl^erlcss  occa- 
sions the  patriotism  of  Urn  rci)ublic  and  its 
individual  cities  was  made  manifest,  but  I 
want  to  leave  with  you  the  thought,  this  after- 
noon in  the  beginning  of  your  deliberations, 
that  there  are  two  kinds  of  patriotism.  There 
is  the  patriotism  that  shoulders  the  musket, 
carries  the  flag,  does  its  part  in  battling  for 
country  and  for  home.  That  patriotism  is 
worthy;  that  patriotism  should  be  emulated. 
We  are  proud  that  we  have  that  spirit  of 
patriotism  in  our  land,  but  my  friends,  there 
is  anoUicr  patriotism.  There  is  the  patriotism 
of  the  men  and  the  women  and  the  children 


1390

in  the  homes  of  this  country,  in  the  business 
and  life  of  our  nation.  As  you  and  I  coine  in 
contact  with  one  another  and  with  our  fellow 
man  in  the  daily  duties  of  life,  the  question 
comes  up  over  and  over  again:  What  is  best 
for  me?  What  is  'best  for  my  family?  What 
is  best  for  my  town?  My  state?  What,  after 
all,  is  best  for  my  country?  The  patriotism 
of  peace.  In  these  trying  times  of  reorgani- 
zation and  regeneration   in  this  country,  there 


devolves  upon  us  the  necessity  of  inculcating 
the  doctrine  of  the  patriotism  of  peace. 

Welcome  to  our  city!  May  your  stay  here 
be  so  pleasant  that  when  the  time  shall  come 
for  you  to  select  the  meeting  place  for  your 
next  convention,  your  eyes  shall  turn  again  to 
this  beautiful  city  of  ours,  and  you  may  have 
as  an  incentive  the  pleasant  visit  that  you  have 
had  here  in  your  city  of  Washington. 

[Applause.] 


President's  Address 
By  Eugene  L.   Herr 


FELLOW-Members  of  the  American  Book- 
sellers' Association  and  Guests : 

It  gives  me  great  pleasure  on  behalf 
of  the  Association  to  welcome  you  to  this  the 
twenty-second  Annual  Convention.  The  Asso- 
ciation is  now  fully  of  age  and  is  indeed  a 
lusty  youth. 

It  seems  to  me  that  we  are  particularly  for- 
tunate at  this  time  in  meeting  in  the  National 
Capitol  and  amid  such  delightful  surroundings. 

Your  oflficers  have  endeavored  to  carry  on 
the  work  of  the  Association  during  the  past 
year  as  actively  as  possible  and  have  handled 
many   important   matters   as   they  have   arisen. 

In  the  matter  of  membership  the  Member- 
ship Committee  under  the  capable  leadership 
of  our  Secretary.  Miss  Walker,  has  been  very 
active  thruout  the  year,  and  her  report  will 
show  that  we  have  increased  the  membership 
of  the  Association  more  than  has  been  done 
in  any  preceding  year.  The  goal  set  at 
last  year's  Convention  is  far  from  being 
reached  and  until  it  is  reached,  one  of  the 
chief  efforts  and  activities  not  only  of  the 
Executive  (Officers  and  the  Membership  Com- 
mittee but  of  the  entire  membership  of  the 
Association  should  be  directed  to  getting  into 
the  fold  every  retail  bookseller  and  the  head 
of  every  book  department  in  the  country. 

Membership 

The  Association  will  never  be  as  active  and 
influential  in  trade  affairs  as  it  has  the  power 
to  be  until  this  ideal  is  accomplished.  I  hold 
with  Lord  Bacon  that  "every  man  is  a  debtor 
to  his  profession  from  which  as  men  of  course 
do  seek  to  receive  countenance  and  profit  sio 
ought  they  of  duty  to  endeavor  themselves 
by  way  of  amends  to  be  a  help  and  ornament 
thereto,"  and  in  no  sense  is  a  business  man  a 
greater  debtor  than  in  the  obligation  he  is 
under  to  belong  to  and  to  support  in  every 
way,  financially  and  morally,  the  national  trade 
association  of  his  craft.  The  new  roster  of 
the  Association  which  has  just  been  published 
lists    the    names    of    those    booksellers    in    this 


country  whom  I  please  to  consider  the  "honor 
roll"  because  they  have  fulfilled  this  obligation. 
I  am  hopeful  that  in  the  year  to  come  every 
member  will  endeavor  to  do  his  share  in  mem- 
bership work  by  enlisting  the  active  support 
of  other  booksellers  who  have  not  yet  joined 
the  Association. 

Optimism  the  Keynote 

We  of  the  'book-trade  in  this  country  owe  a 
great  debt  to  the  little  band  of  devoted  men 
who  first  actively  strove  to  rebuild  the  shat-        ^ 
tered   trade   of    bookselling  when   at   a  period       A 
twenty  years  or  so  agKj  it  was  in  great  danger         • 
of  passing  out  of  existence.    They  laid  a  foun- 
dation  upon   which  has   been   built  a  business 
edifice  which  is  gradually  attaining  greater  pro- 
portions and  we,  who  are  in  the  business  today, 
are    profiting    from    their    efforts    to    improve 
business    conditions    in    the    book-trade.      We 
should    continue    striving   to   make   the   edifice 
better  and  stronger  and  should  perpetuate  the 
good  which  has  been  accomplished. 

I  think  it  is  safe  to  say  that  no  business  in 
the  country  has  weathered  the  storm  and  stress 
of  the  past  two  years  of  business  depression 
in  better  shape  and  no  business  stands  today 
on  a  more  substantial  foundation  than  the  book 
'business.  The  keynote  which  has  inspired  the 
Program  Committee  which  arranged  this  con- 
vention has  been  one  of  optimism  and  I  believe 
that  they  have  struck  the  right  keynote.  I 
believe  that,  in  a  general  way,  all  business  has 
weathered  the  worst  of  the  storm  and  is  gradu- 
ally on  the  mend  and  I  am  inclined  to  think 
that  the  problems  which  have  thrust  them- 
selves upon  us  in  one  way  or  another  during 
the  past  two  years  can  all  be  solved.  Every 
member  of  this  organization  must  strike  the 
same  keynote  and  push  forward  in  order  that 
our  common  business  may  reach  the  high  place 
which  it  should  occupy. 

Among  the  various  conditions  which  have 
confronted  us  during  the  past  year  one  which 
assumed  the  greatest  importance  is  the  ten- 
dency    here     and     there     among     publishers

and  also  among  booksellers  to  forget 
that  the  business  we  are  engaged  in  is  a  com- 
mon enterprise  and  to  forget  that  we  are  all 
bound  together  iii  working  for  the  common 
good.  There  seems  to  be  a  tendency  now  and 
again  to  try  to  slip  something  over  on  the 
other  fellow.  This  has  manifested  itself  some- 
times in  an  occasional  effort  to  cut  prices  and 
again  in  the  offering  of  preferential  discounts 
to  special  classes  of  customers  such  as  minis- 
ters, authors,  teachers,  etc.  To  me,  it  has 
seemed  that  the  most  fundamental  thing  in 
the  book  business  today  is  to  maintain  abso- 
lutely the  integrity  of  the  net  price  system 
and  the  instances  of  failure  to  maintain  it 
which  have  come  to  our  attention  are  serious 
because  they  threaten  that  system. 

Earlier  Price  Cutting 

At  the  risk  of  repetition  I  feel  that  it  is 
necessary  to  go  back  into  those  days  when 
the  founders  of  this  Association  made  their 
first  efforts  to  build  up  something  substantial 
for  the  book  business  and  to  recall  to  your 
minds  that  period  when  the  published  price 
of  a  book  was  absolutely  fictitious  and  when 
books  were  sold  to  everyone  at  a  discount 
and  at  cut  prices,  which  eliminated  all  pos- 
sibility of  a  profit  to  the  retailer. 

This  practice  had  its  inception  forty  or 
fifty  years  ago  when  in  the  long  period  of 
depression  and  decline  of  prices  subsequent 
to  the  Civil  War  and  the  panic  of  1873  an 
absolute  spirit  of  individualism  ruled  in  busi- 
ness, and  cut-throat  competition  was  rampant. 
If  there  are  any  persons  here  who  can  go  back 
in  their  minds  to  this  distant  period  in  the 
book  business  they  will  recall  that  this  condi- 
tion began  by  booksellers  themselves  giving 
preferential  discounts  to  special  classes  of 
people ;  at  first,  these  discounts  were  10% 
and  then  20%  and  pretty  soon  the  discounts 
were  being  given  to  everybody.  Not  satisfied 
with  this,  popular  books  were  frequently  used 
by  department  stores  as  leaders  at  prices 
which  were,  or  were  very  near,  the  wholesale 
price.  The  result  was  that  a  very  adequate 
system  of  retail  book  distribution  in  the  coun- 
try was  gradually  demoralized  and  a  large 
number  of  excellent  book  men  were  either 
driven  to  the  wall  or  slowly  drifted  into  other 
more  profitable  lines   of  merchandising. 

By  1900  it  l(X)ked  as  tho  the  genuine  book- 
store would  be  annihilated  and  it  was  at  about 
this  period  that  a  very  small  number  of  de- 
voted book  men  banded  themselves  together 
in  the  American  Booksellers'  Association  and 
made  a  start  at  rebuilding  and  again  dignify- 
ing the  profesision  of  bookseller. 

Any  of  you  can  recall  the  long  years  01 
effort  which  were  required  to  restore  booksell- 
ing to   a   sound   position.     It   took   almost   ten 


years  of  unremitting  effort  to  accomplish  what 
we  now  know  as  the  net  price  system,  whicn 
means  that  the  price  at  which  the  boo'k  is 
published  and  offered  by  the  publisher  is  an 
honest  price  and  the  price  which  every  re- 
tailer should  secure  in  order  to  have  at  least 
a  safe  working  margin  on  which  to  conduct 
his  business.  For  a  period  of  ten  or  a  dozen 
years  the  net  price  system  has  been  main- 
tained to  a  very  commendable  degree  and  the 
results  are  apparent  in  the  growth  of  the  book 
business,  the  improvement  of  bookstores,  the 
increased  number  of  bookstores  and  the  better 
facilities   for  retail  book  distribution.

URER  JOHN  G.   KIDD  ARE  JUBILANT  OVER   MKMBER- 

SHIP     INCREASE. 

It  has  seemed  to  me  that  we  are  now  pass- 
ing thru  a  period  which  is  analogous  to 
the  period  which  succeeded  the  Civil  War, 
and  it  is  of  the  utmost  importance  that  we 
should  take  a  lesson  fnun  the  hook  of  expe- 
rience and  if  possible,  prevent  the  lKx)k-trade 
from  drifting  into  the  Slough  of  Despond 
into  which  it  fell  during  the  eighties  and  nine- 
tics  of  the  last  century. 

The  cases  which  have  come  to  our  attcjition 
during  the  past  year  are  such  as  to  incline 
us  to  believe  that  unless  the  Association  is 
very  keaily  on  its  toes  to  combat  these  con- 
ditions as  quickly  as  they  arise,  just  this  con- 


1392 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


dition  might  very  easily  repeat  itself.  I  have 
taken  the  occasion,  whenever  my  attention  has 
been  drawn  to  individual  cases,  to  take  the 
matter  up  with  the  offending  bookseller  or 
publisher  to  try  to  make  him  see  that  his 
actions  threaten  the  whole  validity  of  our  price 
system,  and  while  I  do  not  intend  at  this  time 
to  go  into  details  of  instances  and  cases  I  am 
happy  to  say  that  in  many  of  them,  once  the 
seriousness  of  the  matter  was  brought  to  the 
attention  of  the  persons  at  fault,  endeavors 
have  been  made  to  rectify  their  trade  practices. 
I  want  to  take  this  occasion  to  say,  pub- 
licly, that  true  building  in  the  book  business 
will  never  come  about  by  an  endeavor  to  beat 
your  competitor,  your  fellow  bookseller,  by 
the  practice  of  cut  prices  or  preferential  dis- 
counts. Above  all,  every  one  who  is  in  the 
business  today,  in  any  field,  should  realize 
that  the  work  of  the  past  two  decades  must 
not  be  broken  down  and  again  I  repeat  the 
integrity  of  the  net  price  system  must  be  main- 
tained. 

Books  as  Premiums 

We  believe  that  one  of  the  surest  methods 
of  attaining  a  sound  tasis  for  the  book  busi- 
ness, as  well  as  all  business  in  the  country,  is 
thru  the  enactment  of  legislation  such  as  is 
provided  for  before  the  present  Congress  by 
the  Stephens-Kelley  Bill.  We  have  felt  that 
this  situation  is  of  such  importance  as  to 
warrant  it  being  given  full  consideration  by 
this  convention  and  the  greater  part  of  both 
sessions  tomorrow — Tuesday — will  be  devoted 
to  a  discussion  of  this  important  subject  and 
the  various  aspects  of  it  will  be  presented  for 
your  consideration  by  Representative  Kelly, 
the  sponsor  of  the  present  bill  and  Joseph  E. 
Davies,  General  Counsel  for  the  American 
Fair  Trade  League. 

Such  being  the  case  I  feel  it  is  not  necessary 
for  me  at  this  time  to  go  into  the  details  of 
this  important  step  in  legislation,  but  we  are 
thoroly  convinced  that  it  is  essential  to  the 
future  stability  of  our  trade. 

A  practice  into  which  a  number  of  publish- 
ers have  been  inclined  to  drift  during  the 
past  year  and  which  was  brought  very  prom- 
inently before  your  Board  of  Trade  and  the 
Executive  Committee,  and  against  which  we 
lodged  a  strenuous  protest  was  the  practice  of 
permitting  new  and  very  popular  books  to  be 
used  as  premiums  for  magazine  subscriptions, 
the  books  either  being  given  away  free  or  sold 
at  a  ridiculously  low  price,  in  connection  with 
the  subscription,  as  compared  with  the  price 
which  the  bookseller  was  compelled  to  ask  in 
order  to  secure  only  a  nominal  profit.  After 
considerable  correspondence,  I  wrote  the  fol- 
lowing letter  to  about  sixty-five  of  the  leading 
publishers  in  the  United  States : 


Gentlemen: 

"The  Retail  Book  Trade  of  the  Country  has  been 
very  much  upset  in  recent  months  by  a  perfect 
deluge  of  special  offers  which  are  being  made  by 
certain  of  the  magazines  either  to  give  new  books 
as  premiums  with  their  subscription,  entirely  free 
of  charge,  or  to  sell  them  to  subscribers  at  prices 
which  are  ridiculously  low  compared  with  the  prices 
at  which  the  books  were  offered  for  sale  thru  the 
regular  book-trade  channels  in  the  very  recent 
past. 

"It  seems  to  us  that  this  is  a  tendency  which 
will  very  seriously  undermine  the  retaiT  booksellers 
if  it  is  continued.  It  wooild  certainly  have  an  in- 
clination to  lead  the  public  to  view  the  price  at 
which  the  bookseller  is  compelled  to  sell  the  book, 
in  order  to  make  a  very  meagre  profit,  as  a  per- 
fectly fictitious  and  utterly  exorbitant  one,  and  it  is 
surely    most    discouraging   to   the    bookseller   himself. 

"This  practice  is  one  for  which  the  publisher  is 
individually  responsible  inasmuch  as  the  sole  con- 
trol and  ownership  of  the  book  is  invested  in  him 
by  the  Copyright  Laws  of  the  United  States.  A 
list  of  these  offers  was  recently  collected  and  pub- 
lished in  the  Weekly  by  the  Board-of-Trade  of  this 
Association  and  it  is  certainly  discouraging  to  find 
in  this  list  the  books  of  some  of  our  most  reputable 
publishing  houses. 

"I  believe  that  the  retail  book-trade  has  in  the 
past  few  years  been  earnestly  endeavoring  to  in- 
crease the  market  for  books  and  such  practices  are 
surely  taking  the  grooind  from  under  their  feet. 

"This  letter  is  being  written  to  all  of  the  leading 
publishers  in  the  country  without  regard  to  whether 
any  of  their  publications  have  been  used  in  this 
manner  or  not,  as  we  feel  that  a  continuance  of 
this  practice  is  most  dangerous  to  the  present  system 
of  retail  distribution.  One  consideration  which 
should  certainly  be  borne  in  mind  is  the  fact  that 
magazines  represent  the  most  serious  competition 
that  books  have.  In  the  first  place,  they  are  sub- 
sidized by  a  preferential  postal  rate  and  their  cost 
for  artistic  and  mechanical  production  is  largely 
paid  by  the  advertiser.  In  addition  to  this,  the 
very  bulk  of  reading  material  which  the  magazine 
reader  gets  prevents  him  from  having  the  time  as 
well  as  the  money  for  the  acquiring  and  reading 
of  actual  books.  There  is  a  very  large  proportion 
of  our  population  whose  entire  time  for  reading  is 
consumed  in  following  the  daily  papers  and  current 
magazines. 

"Nobody  can  prevent  this,  but  most  certainly  the 
book  publishers  are  undermining  their  own  business 
when  they  allow  their  own  books  to  be  used  in 
cut  price  offers  for  the  building  up  of  subscription 
lists  and  the  increase  of  the  number  of  magazine 
readers. 

"It  seems  to  us  that  we  are  at  a  period  \yhen 
publishers  should  scrutinize  most  carefully  the  situa- 
tion laefore  entering  into  any  such  arrangement 
with  magazines  with  regard  to  their  own  _  publica- 
tions. We  are  very  fearful  that  the  trade  is  facing 
a  condition  wherein  the  net  price  system  may  be 
seriously  menaced  and  we  believe  that  it  is  of  the 
utmost  importance  that  every  factor  in  the^  trade 
should  hold  together  for  a  maintenance  of  this  car- 
dinal  principle. 

"The  retailer  is  just  asi  vitally  interested  as  any 
other  person  in  having  the  prices  of  new  books 
to  the  consoimer  reduced  just  as  rapidly  as  condi- 
tions warrant,  but  such  reductions  should  come  about 
in  an  orderly  fashion  and  not  in  a  mad  scramble  to 
get  temporary  business  away  from  the  other  fellow." 

I  endeavored  in  this  letter  to  cover  all  the 
salient  points  in  this  connection,  and  I  still 
feel  that  every  argument  is  sound  and  hope 
that  publishers  will  see  the  evil  in  this  practice 
and  will  discontinue  it.  Many  replies  to  this 
letter  were  received  altho  not  every  publisher 
to  whom  it  was  mailed  did  reply.  One  or  two 
publishers  who  were  very  prominent  among  the 
offenders  failed  even  to  answer  the  letter  and 
one  publisher  who  had  proved  a  notable  ex- 
ample commended  the  fairness  of  the  argument

on  the  iparticular  book  in  question  there  were 
but  contended  that  in  his  particular  case  and 
other  considerations  which  entered  into  the 
situation.  Quite  a  number  of  publishers  re- 
plied that  they  never  had  indulged  in  this  prac- 
tice nor  did  they  intend  to  do  so  and  several, 
who  in  the  past  had  allowed  some  of  their 
books  to  be  used  so,  advised  that  they  have 
decided  they  will  not  again  participate  in  such 
a  combination  offering. 

In  the  matter  of  trade  discounts  there  has 
been  practically  no  change  during  the  past 
year.  The  situation  from  the  booksellers' 
standpoint  remains  as  it  was,  i.  e.,  that  a  mini- 
mum discount  of  33  1-3  and  5%  is  absolutely 
necessary  for  the  safe  and  sound  conduct 
of  a  retail  business  and  the  one  recourse  which 
exists  for  buyers  is  to  protect  themselves  as 
far  as  possible  by  stocking  only  such  items  as 
will  give  them  this  disooimt  or  more.  Per- 
sonally, I  am  inclined  to  think  that  an  average 
discount  of  40%  is  really  necessary  to  put  the 
book  business  on  as  profitable  a  basis  as  most 
other  merchandising  lines  are  today,  but  I 
doubt  whether  it  would  be  a  sound  move  to 
insist  on  this  as  an  absolutely  minimum  dis- 
count at  the  present  time. 

Minimum    Discount 

I  am  sorry  to  have  to  report  that  there 
are  still  quite  a  number  of  publisihers  who 
have  not  met  the  request  of  the  Association 
for  the  minimum  discount  in  so  far  as  reor- 
ders and  pick-ups  are  concerned,  and  while  they 
have  some  ground  for  the  contention  that  the 
handling  of  small  orders  is  a  costly  process 
and  therefore  that  they  are  justified  in  re- 
fusing a  better  discount  than  33  1-3%  on  the 
same,  I  am  personally  of  the  opinion  that 
where  cordial  relations  exist  between  a  book- 
seller and  a  publisher  and  the  bookseller  is 
stocking  the  publisher's  list  in  so  far  as  he  is 
able  and  is  giving  a  representative  stock  order 
to  the  publisher  several  times  a  year,  when 
the  travelers  call,  that  he  should  be  per- 
mitted to  keep  his  stock  filled  up  between  times, 
even  in  small  quantities,  at  whatever  discount 
has  been  established  by  the  original  purchase. 

As  prices  tend  to  decline,  the  necessity  for 
the  minimum  discount  recommended  becomes 
more  and  more  essential  inasmuch  as  the  dol- 
lars and  cents  profit  decreases  with  the  de- 
crease in  price  whereais  much  of  the  cost  of 
handling  remains  the  same. 

It  would  probably  be  unsound  business  at  tiie 
present  time  when  the  public  is  demanding 
lower  prices  for  the  bookseller  to  ask  for  a 
larger  discount,  but  we  are  on  sound  ground 
in  insisting  on  the  minimum  discount  on  which 
we  have  contended  for  the  last  seven  or  eight 
years.     One   remedy   which    lies   in   the  hands 


of  every  buyer  is  to  pick  and  cull  out  more 
carefully  the  items  which  he  can  possibly  do 
without  and  concentrate  to  a  greater  extent 
his  purchases  on  the  items  which  are  sure 
sellers. 

A  large  part  of  the  remedy  in  this  respect 
lies  in  the  hands  of  each  individual  buyer,  and 
each  buyer  should  exercise  his  prerogative  of 
buying  what  he  feels  sure  he  can  sell  on  the 
best  possible  terms.  Most  stocks  would  be 
greatly  improved  if  the  buyer  would  exercise 
a  greater  care  in  selection  and  elimination,  espe- 
cially cutting  out  a  duplication  of  lines  or  items 
which  are  not  necessary  to  his  success  in  busi- 
ness. 

Year   Round   Bookselling 

In  the  matter  of  trade  expansion,  great 
progress  has  been  made  thru  the  "Year  Round 
Bookselling  Campaign"  which  is  now  being 
conducted  by  the  National  Association  of 
Book  Publishers.  A  full  report  on  the 
activities  of  this  committee  will  be  made  later 
in  this  session  by  Mr.  Melcher,  the  chairman 
of  the  committee.  I  believe  that  a  consider- 
able measure  of  success  attended  the  first 
year's  efforts  of  this  committee  and  profiting 
by  observation  and  experience,  their  plans  for 
the  present  year's  campaign  were  laid  out  on 
broader  and  better  lines.  Much  has  been  done 
in  teaching  the  individual  dealer  the  sale- 
ability  at  all  times  in  the  year  of  various 
classes  of  stock  which  he  is  accustomed  to 
carrying  but  without  the  proper  amount  of 
exploitation.  Great  improvement  is  noticed 
this  year  in  the  character  of  the  posters  which 
are  being  distributed  by  the  committee.  They 
are  coming  to  us  in  so  artistic  a  quality  that 
no  dealer  need  feel  hesitant  to  use  them  in 
windows  of  the  most  exclusive  character.  They 
are  really  of  great  permanent  value  and  many 
of  them  can  'be  used  from  time  to  time  with 
great  profit.  The  committee  has  felt  that 
many  dealers  have  failed  to  get  the  full  bene- 
fit of  its  efforts  because  they  were  not  co- 
opA^ating  to  the  fullest  possible  extent.  I 
hope  that  this  situation  will  be  rectified  and 
that  every  dealer  will  carefully  consider  all 
the  suggestions  which  are  presented  to  him 
and  use  to  the  greatest  possible  extent  all  the 
material   which  is  provided. 

Too  much  credit  cannot  be  given  to  the 
activities  of  the  committee  which  have  made  it 
possible  for  a  great  amount  of  book  news 
material  to  appear  in  the  magazine  columns 
and  in  the  daily  press  thruout  the  country 
about  hooks,  book  ownership  and  book  collec- 
tion. I  believe  that  along  this  line  the  work 
of  the  committee  is  of  the  greatest  value  to 
booksellers  and  to  the  whole  cause  of  book 
promotion.

The  Publishers'   Weekly 


Last  year  our  association  appropriated 
$i,ooo  toward  the  expenses  of  Children's  Book 
WeeJk.  In  preparing  the  budget  for  the  finan- 
cing of  this  year's  campaign  the  subscribing 
publishers  have  undertaken  to  underwrite  the 
entire  expense,  including  all  the  expenses  f-or 
Children's  Book  Week.  I  am  hopeful  that 
some  plan  may  be  presented  to  this  convention 
whereby  this  Association  itself  may  aid  in 
some  phase  of  lx)ok  promotion  aside  and  apart 
from  the  particular  activities  of  the  committee. 

It  is  a  matter  of  sincere  regret  to  me  that 
the  wider  scope  of  the  original  cooperative 
campaign,  which  was  proposed  by  this  asso- 
ciation two  years  ago,  was  never  achieved, 
and  I  am  still  hopeful  that  a  fall  publicity 
campaign  will  some  day  be  launched  by  the 
Publishers'  Association  which  will  include  a 
considerable  use  of  display  publicity  on  books 
as  gifts  and  on  children's  books  in  our  lead- 
ing popular  magazines. 

Booksellers'   Advertising 

The  iGreeting  Card  Association  which  has 
used  this  form  of  publicity  for  several  years 
has  found  it  of  incalculable  value  in  building 
up  the  wider  and  continued  use  of  greeting 
cards,  and  I  have  just  learned  that  this  year 
the  manufacturers  of  gift  stationery  are  going 
to  use  the  same  plan  of  advertising,  coopera- 
tively, in  putting  before  the  public  next  fall 
the  desirability  of  gift  boxes  of  writing  pa])er 
for  Christmas  presents. 

While  there  has  been  a  great  measure  of 
improvement  in  the  advertising  of  individual 
publishers,  I  sincerely  believe  that  if  ever  the 
time  comes  when  the  Publishers'  Association 
can  see  its  way  clear  to  spend  from  $50,000 
to  $100,000  in  a  publicity  campaign  of  this 
character,  they  will  be  amply  repaid  in  the 
future  growth  of  the  business.  I  do  believe, 
however,  that  the  committee  in  going  ahead 
on  the  present  lines,  has  been  building  up 
solidly   from  the  ground. 

vSo  far  as  the  retailer  is  concerned,  I  believe 
that  he  can  best  aid  and  cooperate  in  a  cam- 
paign of  this  kind  not  so  much  by  contributing 
to  a  general  fund  for  publicity  as  by  investing; 
his  mioney  in  local  newspaper  campaigns  which 
will  direct  the  public's  attention  to  his  store 
as  linked  with  the  national  effort. 

The  association  has  made  a  step  forward 
this  year  in  the  handling  of  the  convention  on 
an  independent  financial  basis  and  apart  from 
any  monetary  contribution  from  publishers  for 
entertainment.  This  is  the  reason  for  the  regis- 
tration charge  which  has  been  made.  It  will 
provide  for  the  cost  of  entertainment  at  this 
convention.  It  leaves  the  association  as  an 
independent  unit  without  any  strings  attached 
and  I  believe  before  the  convention  is  over 
you  will  agree  with  me  that  the  nominal  regis- 


tration charge  which  has  been  made  was  trifling 
for  the  entertainment  which  has  been  provided 
by  the  committee. 

In  casting  a  backward  glance  over  the  two 
years  during  which  I  have  served  as  Presi- 
dent of  our  Associaton,  I  feel,  that  we,  of 
the  book-trade,  have  a  right  to  be  proud  of 
the  showing  which  it  has  made  during  this 
period  of  general  business  depression  and  a 
period  during  which  business  and  trade  prac- 
tices have  been  to  a  considerable  extent  de- 
moralized. The  book  business  has  learned  a 
good  lesson.  The  volume  of  business  has 
equalled  and  in  many  cases  surpassed  the  pre- 
ceding years  which  were  fruitful  ones  in  all 
lines,  and  the  great  body  of  book  readers 
which  increased  rapidly  during  the  war  period 
has  been  held  in  their  love  for  books  and 
reading;  and  I  believe  that  the  habits  of  read- 
ing which  have  been  implanted  can  be  main- 
tained and  increased.  It  is  of  vital  import- 
ance that  both  publishers  and  dealers  alike 
should  exercise  the  greatest  care  in  the  char- 
acter of  books  which  they  present  to  the 
public.  Their  lx)oks  must  be  worth-while,  the 
trivial  must  be  shunned  if  we  would  maintain 
nur  hold  on  the  public. 

Fewer  and  Better  Books 
The  recent  decline  in  prices  of  many  of  the 
cheaper  lines  of  books  which  has  been  made 
possible  by  somewhat  lower  costs  of  ma- 
terials, should  greatly  increase  the  volume  of 
business  in  this  class  of  merchandise,  and  it  is 
(^nly  by  an  increase  in  volume  that  the  pub- 
lishers who  have  taken  this  aggressive  step 
can  come  out  whole.  In  this  connection,  I 
hope  that  all  publishers  will  endeavor  to  make 
their  prices  just  as  low  as  is  possible,  consistent 
with  substantial  manufacture  and  a  reasonable 
profit  to  themselves. 

We  should  again  reiterate  the  slogan  of 
"fewer  and  better  books."  Greater  quantity 
production  of  fewer  items  will  answer  many  of 
the  problems  which  present  themselves  to 
publishers  and  booksellers  alike  and  will 
simplify  the  whole  future  course  of  our  busi- 
ness. I  realize  that  this  is  a  difficult  pre- 
scription, but  it  is  one  which  is  today  facing 
the  manufacturer  in  every  line,  and  it  is  thru 
this  alone  that  we  can  have  a  gradual  lowering 
of  prices  while  still  maintaining  a  standard  of 
excellence. 

The  public  today  is  not  looking  for  cheap 
goods,  but  it  is  weighing  and  considering  care- 
fully the  value  which  is  offered  for  its  money. 
We  are  engaged  in  one  of  the  best  and  most 
attractive  businesses  in  which  it  is  the  privi- 
lege of  any  man  or  woman  to  be  engaged. 
We  are  building  up  culture  and  taste,  and 
the  bookseller  today  ranks  with  the  teacher 
and   the   preacher   in    influence   on   the   life   of

the  community.  Any  community  is  better  if 
it  has  in  its  midst  a  well-stocked  bookstore 
with  the  proper  atmosphere  enveloping  it,  and 
I  feel  that  you  can  all  be  proud  of  the  profes- 
sion in  which  you  are  engaged  for  your  liveli- 
hood. 

We  have  an  opportunity  presented  by  this 
convention  for  an  exchange  of  ideas  and  a 
p;  esentation  of  problems  which  should  send 
each  individual  member  who  is  present,  home 
with  a  broader  vision  and  a  greater  conception 
of  his  or  her  usefulness. 

I  have  looked  backward  to  point  the  morals 
of  many  of  my  observations  but  I  am  looiking 
forward,  hopefully  and  enthusiastically,  to  a 
greater  sphere  of  usefulness  for  each  individ- 
ual bookseller  and  to  more  power  and  greater 
usefulness  for  this  Association. 

I  want  to  take  this  occasion  to  thank  all  the 
members  of  this  Association  for  the  cordial 
support  and  cooperation  which  they  have  given 
me  during  my  administration,  but  I  want  to 
make  special  mention  oF  those  executive  offi- 
cers who  have  done  so  much  to  make  it  a 
success. 

To  our  secretary.  Miss  Walker,  who  has 
labored  most  diligently  during  the  past  year 
as  chairman  of  the  Membership  Committee, 
1  believe  is  due  an  unusual  measure  of  thanks 
and  also  to  the  treasurer,  Mr.  Kidd,  who  has 
carried  on  the  activities  of  his  office  so  assidu- 
ously that  in  spite  of  the  heavy  appropriations 
which  have  been  made  to  the  book  promotion 
work,  our  treasury  is  in  the  soundest  possible 


condition.  To  Mr.  Nye,  the  cliairman  of  the 
Convention  Committee  and  to  Mr.  Estabrook, 
the  chairman  of  the  Program  Committee,  and 
their  assistants  on  these  committees  is  due 
great  credit  for  the  complete  success  which  I 
believe  will  follow  the  various  business  ses- 
sions and  entertainments  of  this  convention. 
A  few  weeks  ago  when  the  unfortunate  fire 
at  the  Willard  completely  upset  the  commit- 
tee's plans  for  the  convention  headquarters, 
Mr.  Nye  acted  with  commendable  energy  in 
quickly   making   other   arrangements. 

I  am  glad  I  am  in  the  book  business.  I 
have  tried  at  different  points  in  this  address  to 
tell  you  why  I  am  glad  that  I  am  in  the  book 
business,  and  I  hope  to  continue  in  this  busi- 
ness to  the  end  of  my  days. 

I  am  very  proud  that  this  Association  should 
have  deemed  me  worthy  to  serve  as  its  Presi- 
dent for  two  years,  and  I  thank  you  all  for 
having  so  honored  me.  I  have  tried  to  carry 
on  the  activities  of  the  Association  to  the  best 
of  my  abilities  and  hope  that  I  shall  be  able 
to  turn  them  over  to  the  president  who  will 
follow  me  in  such  condition  that  it  may  con- 
tinue along  broader  and  stronger  lines  year 
after  year. 

I  sincerely  hope  that  the  days  which  are 
to  follow  during  this  convention  will  be  both 
profitable  and  pleasurable  and  that  you  will 
return  to  your  homes  and  your  daily  duties, 
inspired  by  new  ideals  and  by  a  broader  grasp 
of  the  possibilities  of  the  business  in  which  you 
are  engaged. 


Report  of  the  Secretary 
By  Belle  M.  Walker 


IHE.-\RD  someone  say  when  we  got  off  the 
train,  that  Mr.  Conover  .had  said  that  after 

he  ate  that  luncheon  that  the  Baltimore  & 
Ohio  had  prepared  for  us,— which  was  espe- 
cially delicious,  that  he  felt  both  revised  and 
enlarged,  in  the  terms  of  the  l>ooksellers.  Per- 
sonally, I  feel  enlarged,  but  not  exactly  re- 
vised. 

It  is  rather  interesting  to  recall  that  the 
themes  of  the  convention  twenty-one  years  ago 
were  "Maintaining  Prices"  and  The  Net  Price 
System.  Dr.  I.  K.  Funk  of  Funk  and  Wag- 
nails  said  thalt  they,  both  rested  with  the 
American  Booksellers'  Association  and  now 
"Price  Standardization"  is  the  theme  of  this 
Convention  and  many  may  think  that  that  also 
rests  with  this  Association.  It  is  also  m- 
teresting  to  recall  that  J.  K.  Gill  of  Portland, 
Oregon,  was  on  the  Advisory  Board  at  that 
time,  and  one  of  the  speakers  of  this  Conven- 
tion is  Mr.  Hiotchkiss  of  J.  K.  Gill  Co. 


Last  year  the  Association  offered  prizes  for 
the  best  articles  summarizing  the  Convention 
addresses  and  discussions.  The  first  prize  was 
to  have  been  a  free  trip  to  the  Washington 
Convention,  the  second  prize  free  member- 
ship in  the  Association  for  one  year.  It  gives 
us  great  pleasure  to  iuuiounce  that  the  winner 
of  the  first  prize  is  Mrs.  Mable  Anmdel 
Harris  of  The  J.  K.  Gill  Company  of  Port- 
land, Oregon,  whose  prize  paper  was  printed 
in  the  Cr-nvention  Souvenir  Number  of  the 
Bookseller  and  Stationer.  The  second  i)rize 
was  won  by  Maude  .Abbot  of  W.  B.  Read  & 
Company.  Bl<K>mington,  Illinois.  Owing  to 
the  fact  that  this  competition  did  not  seem  to 
be  generally  recognized,  for  we  dislike  to  feel 
that  the  booksellers  of  the  country  found  noth- 
ing in  that  convention  that  was  worth  com- 
menting upon — only  two  responded — and  those 
two  were  women.  Just  what  this  would  sig- 
nify is  open  to  interpretation.     The  first  prize 


1396 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


was  not  only  to  have  been  the  railroad  fare 
to  Washington  but  also  hotel  expenses.  As 
two  contributions  do  not  constitute  a  competi- 
tion, the  committee  decided  that  $50.00  for  the 
first  prize  was   fair. 


Caravan  Bookshops 
In  addition  to  the  Caravan  Bookshop  orig- 
inated by  Bertha  Mahony  of  the  Boys  and 
Girls  Bookshop,  Boston,  another  was  success- 
fully launched  by  Mr.  Hiltman  of  D.  Appleton 
&  Co.,  who  was  so  impressed  with  the  oppor- 
tunity for  book  sales  in  the  small  town  that  he 
sent  his  automobile  caravan  of  800  books,  dur- 
ing the  summer,  thru  Long  Island,  starting 
from  Jamaica.  In  the  fall  it  toured  the  Berk- 
shires  and  New  Jersey  with  notably  good  re- 
sults. I  received  a  letter  not  long  ago  from  a 
farmer  s  wife  in  Kansas.  She  is  the  mother  of 
three  children  all  of  whom  have  graduated 
from  universities.  She  expresses  rather  vividly 
what  a  book  caravan  would  mean  to  her. 

"I  had  hoped  to  launch  a  shop  which  was  to  be 
that  alluring  thing— a  bookshop  with  a  personality. 

I  had  so  hoped  to  help  the  farmer's  wife  to  a 
happier  solution  of  the  book  question.  I  am  that  oft- 
pitied  lady,  a  farmer's  wife,  and  I  have  tried  to 
interest  booksellers  in  ai  caravan  here.  If  you  could 
know  how  we  hunger  for  books.  I  am  quite  fortunate 
because  I  have  access  to  several  K.  C.  libraries.  Then 
a  truly  gracious  woman  in  New  York  sends  me  many 
books.  But  some  time  surely  the  farmer's  wife  will 
come  into  her   own — and  books. 

I  have  sent  for  Miss  Bessie  Graham's  'The  Book- 
man's  Manual.' 

My  nearest  bookshop  is  twenty-five  miles  away, 
and  when  you  consider  it  takes  two  tons  of  hay  or 
zii  bushels  of  wheat  to  buy  a  current  volume,  you 
can  understand  what  a  tragedy  a  book  hunger  is  for 
a  farmer's  wife." 

In  answer  to  this  I  wrote  and  asked  for 
more  information  about  the  price  of  hay  and 
in  reply  received  the  following: 

"I  was  delighted  that  you  were  interested  in  the 
comparative  values  of  our  farm  products  and  books 
and  should  be  very  glad  if  the  publishing  of  my  letter 
would,  in  any  way,  bring  the  treasured  books  within 
our  reach.  The  day  I  wrote  you  that  letter,  I  had  at- 
tended a  farm  sale  where  prairie  hay  sold  for  $1.50  a 
ton — iwheat  was  75  cents  and  absolutely  no  market  for 
corn.  Corn  here  is  selling  for  35  cents  with  very 
slack  market  among  the  few  feeders  near. 

I  always  give  books  for  Christmas  presents,  and 
my  list,  quoting  from  Doubleday  Page  catalog  at 
whose.   K.   G.   shop   I    bought  the   books. —     • 

'When  Winter  Comes'   $2.00 

'Tf    Winter    Comes'     2.00 

'Americanization  of  Edward  Bok'   3.00 

'Brimming    Cup'    2.00 

'Queen  Victoria'    (Strachey)    5.00 

'Ursula  Trent'   2.00 

and  I  priced  to  buy  Ford's  'Forty  Odd  Years  in  the 
Literary  Shop,'  but  it  was  $5.00 — so  you  can  readilv 
see  how  the  values  affected  me.  Two  whole  tons  of 
hay  bought  'The  Americani/ation.'  Like  all  the  book 
hungry,  I  am  hoping  prices  will  come  down." 

Invitations  to  hold  the  next  Convention  have 
come  from  the  following  cities:  Detroit,  Bos- 
ton, Asheville,  N.  C,  Santa  Barbara,  Calif., 
Milwaukee.  Philadelphia,  West  Baden.  Ind., 
Colorado  Springs,  and  two  from  Los  Angeles, 


two  from  New  York  City,  five  from  Atlantic 
City. 

It  seems  only  just  to  those  interested  in  the 
conferring  of  the  Honorary  Fellowship  to  say 
that  Mr.  Melcher's  name  was  sent  in  by  sev- 
eral, but  as  he  is  chairman  of  this  committee 
both  modesty  and  ethics  resulted  in  his  ab- 
solute refusal  to  allow  his  name  to  be  used 
Hence  the  ballot  was  printed  without  his  name. 
There  is  no  man  more  entitled  to  this  fellow- 


BELLE  M.  WALKER,  EDITOR  OF  THE  BOOKSELLER 
AND  STATIONER  AND  SECRETARY  OF  THE  AMERI- 
CAN booksellers'  ASSOCIATION,  AND  VERNOR  M. 
SCHENCK,  CHAIRMAN  OF  THE  RESOLUTIONS 
COMMITTEE. 


ship  than  Mr.  Melcher.  No  one  has  done  more 
for  the  greater  distribution  of  books  than 
he  and  it  seems  as  tho  some  special  honor 
should  be  conferred  upon  him  as  he  refused  his 
name  to  be  used  in  this  connection. 

The  American  Booksellers'  Association  placed 
a  wreath  on  the  statue  of  Benjamin  Franklin  at 
the  celebration  of  the  200th  anniversary  of  the 
beginning  of  Franklin's  editorial  career  on 
January    17th. 

I  am  not  at  all  sure  that  it  would  not  in- 
terest you  to  hear  about  the  placing  of  the 
wreath.  After  consulting  with  the  President 
as  to  just  what  sum  of  money  the  booksellers 
should  spend  on  Ben  Franklin,  we  decided  that 


May  20,  1922

ten  dollars  would  be  quite  sufficient.  So  I 
was  asked  to  get  the  wreath.  I  was  quite 
busy  and  delayed  buying  the  wreath  until  the 
morniiig  of  the  day.  I  had  consulted  with 
Mr.  Butler  and  he  said  he  would  go  with  me 
and  represent  the  Association.  So  I  went 
that  morning  and  ordered  the  wreath  and  told 
the  boy  to  bring  it  to  the  office,  hoping  our 
boy  would  take  it.  I  got  into  the  office  at 
2  o'clock.  The  ceremony  was  to  be  at  2:30, 
and  I  discovered  that  the  wreath  hadn't  come. 
At  2:10  the  wreath  came.  It  was  taller  than 
I  am,  and  our  office  boy  was  half  the  height. 
Mr.  Butler  hadn't  come  so  I  waited  for  him, 
sending  the  boy  ahead  with  the  wreath.  When 
Mr.  Butler  came  in  one  door,  I  shoved  him 
out  the  other,  and  went  to  the  City  Hall. 
When  I  got  there,  there  was  quite  a  crowd 
around  the  enclosure,  and  there  were  soldiers 
and  a  band.  We  crawled  under  the  ropes ;  I 
went  to  Mr.  Smyth,  who  was  the  chairman, 
waiting  for  the  wreath,  and  there  was  no 
wreath,  so  I  just  oozed  out  under  the  ropes 
again  and  hunted  for  the  boy.  There  was  no 
boy.  So  I  returned  and  told  the  chairman 
there  was  no  boy  and  no  wreath,  and  he  said : 
"That's  all  right ;  take  one  of  these  wreaths." 
I  had  never  seen  the  wreath  before.  It  was 
very  much  dolled  up  with  the  American  flag 
and  all  kinds  of  things  that  I  hadn't  ordered. 
He  said:  "It  belongs  to  somebody;  take  it." 
I  said:  "But  it  doesn't  belong  to  me."  He 
said:  "That  makes  no  difference.  I  will  give 
it  to  you  and  you  hand  it  to  me.  Now,  you 
step  back."  I  stepped  back  and  he  stepped 
forward.  Within  two  feet  of  each  other  he 
handed  me  this  wreath.  I  took  it  and  handed 
it  back  with  great  ceremony.  With  great 
ceremony  he  went  and  hung  it  on  the  statue. 
I  came  back  and  heard  a  voice:  "Here  I  am." 
The  office  boy  with  the  wreath.  Nobody  paid 
the  slightest  attention.  I  said:  "Where  have 
you  been?"  He  said:  "Been?  I've  been  try- 
ing to  get  here.  I  got  into  the  subway  and 
the  guard  would  not  let  me  on.  I  told  him: 
'But  this  is  for  Ben  Franklin'  and  he  said: 
T  don't  care  a  damn  if  it's  for  the  Pope.'" 
So  he  stole  rides  on  taxicabs  and  cars  and 
finally  got  there.  So,  the  American  Booksellers' 
Association  placed  a  wreath  on  the  statue  of 
Ben  Franklin.     [Applause.l 

We  are  very  glad  to  report  that  among  those 
who  have  come  a  long  distance  to  be  present 
at  this  Convention  are  A.  J.  Jarvis  of  Ottawa, 
Canada,  first  vice-president  of  The  Canadian 
Booksellers  and  Stationers  Association,  and 
C  Foster  Brown  of  Foster  Brown  Co., 
Montreal. 


We  have  also  received  a  telegram  of  con- 
gratulation from  G.  H.  Kiat  &  Co.,  Malay 
Peninsula,  Singapore,  Asia.  Mr.  Goh  Hood- 
kia,  managing  partner  of  G.  H.  Kiat  &  Co. 
sends  the  following  greeting  to  the  members 
of  the  American  Booksellers  Association : 

"I  take  this  opportunity  of  wishing  you  every  suc- 
cess in  your  work  and  kindly  convey  my  greetings  10 
all  the  members." 

This  is  the  firm  that  is  proud  to  carry  on 
the  top  of  their  letter-head  the  following  line: 

"Member  of  the  American  Booksellers'  As- 
sociation." 

I  wish  to  thank  the  President,  Eugene  L. 
jHerr,  for  his  continued  and  continuous  courte- 
sies and  co-operation  during  the  pleasant  two 
years  that  I  have  had  the  privilege  of  work- 
ing with  him,  and  also  to  thank  our  Treasurer, 
Mr.  John  G.  Kidd,  who  has  made  the  Chair- 
manship of  the  Membership  Committee  a  very 
pleasant  office,  which  I  must  regretfully  de- 
cline to  accept  for  another  year. 

The  Associated  Booksellers  of  Great  Britain 
and  Ireland  extend  invitation  to  the  American 
Booksellers  Association. 

Walter  J.  Magenis,  in  a  recent  letter  to  your 
secretary  says : 

"I  have  the  greatest  pleasure  in  saying  that  we 
are  holding  our  Annual  meeting  in  London  this  year 
and  if  any  members  of  the  American  Booksellers' 
Association  should  be  in  London  from  June  9th  to 
1 2th,  I  shall  be  pleased  to  welcome  and  introduce  them 
and  invite  them  to  our  banquet  on  June   loth." 

[On  motion  duly  made  and  seconded,  it  was 
unanimously  voted  that  the  report  of  the 
Secretary  be  accepted  and  spread  upon  the 
minutes.] 

President  Herr  :  We  are  very  much  honored 
in  having  with  us  our  fellow  bookmen  from 
Canada  and  if  they  are  in  the  room,  I  wish 
they  would  stand  up  so  we  can  see  them — Mr. 
Jarvis  and  Mr.  Brown.  Fred  H.  Tracht  is 
here,  not  only  as  an  individual  member  of  the 
Association,  but  as  delegated  representative  of 
the  Illinois  Booksellers'  and  Stationers'  Asso- 
ciation, which  met  in  convention  last  week. 

Mr.  Tracht  :  I  found  in  the  convention  last 
week,  that  the  Illinois  Booksellers'  and  Sta- 
tioners' Association  was  a  lively  infant,  only 
one-third  of  age — seven  years  old,  but  doing 
nicely,  and  well-nourished.  The  meeting  was 
held  last  week.  May  2nd  and  3rd,  at  Decatur, 
111.,  and  it  was  a  meeting  whose  keynote  was 
optimism  and  enthusiasm.  The  meeting  next 
year  will  be  held  in  Champagne.  Will  Johnson 
of  Bloomington  is  President,  and  I  extend 
to  you  all  a  hearty  invitation.

organization,  and  I  want  to  say  this:  that 
our  Secretary,  Belle  Walker,  has  accomplished 
wonders.  I  think  she  secured  over  twenty 
members  herself ;  the  balance  of  the  ten  or 
eleven  came  in  of  their  own  volition  and  I 
think  instead  of  wasting  the  Association's 
money  on  Ben  Franklin,  we  should  get  a  large 
bouquet  of  American  Beauty  roses  and  present 
them  to  her,  with  our  compliments.    [Applause.]

Report  of  Program  Committee 
By  J.  Joseph  Estabrook 


THE  program  committee  as  usual  presents 
its  reports  in  printed  form  which  all  of 
you  hold  in  your  hands. 

This  afternoon  we  will  have  presented  to  us 
some  very  interesting  and  valuable  papers  on 
"Modern   Effective   Bookselling." 

"Price  Standardization"  the  big  outstanding 
feature  of  this  convention  and  probably  the 
most  vital  suibjedt  ever  presented]  for  our 
consideration  at  any  convention  will  be  the 
most  prominent  part  of  our  business  for  to- 
morrow. 

We  feel  that  we  should  congratulate  our- 
selves that  we  are  to  have  the  opportunity 
of  listening  to  Hon,  M.  Clyde  Kelley,  sponsor 
of  the  widely  discussed  Stephens-Kelley  Bill 
which  is  now  pending  in  Congress,  and  Hon. 
Joseph  E.  Davies,  General  Counsel  for  the 
American  Fair  Trade  League,  and  also  Hon 
John  Jacob  Rogers,  Co-author  of  the  Roger- 
Lodge  Mis-Branding  Bill. 

Much  of  the  success  for  this  part  of  the 
program  is  due  to  Edmond  A.  Whittier, 
secretary-treasurer  of  the  American  Fair  Trade 
League,  and  our  own  Charles  E.  Butler,  chair- 
man of  the  Board  of  Trade.  Thru  their  in- 
terest and  earnest  co-operation  we  are  able 
to  have  on  our  program  the  three  best  in- 
formed men  on  the  subject  of  Price  Standardi 
zation. 

I  want  to  ask  your  cooperation  in  the  Wed- 
nesday morning  program,  "The  Wrongs  and 
Rights  Of  It."  During  this  session  several 
l>roblems  annoying  the  booksellers  will  be 
brought  forward  for  general  discussion.  These 
topics  have  been  received  in  the  form  of  letters 


from  members  of  the  book-trade.  We  felt  that 
if  all  complaints  and  trade  problems  were  se- 
gregated in  (  ne  session,  more  of  the  members

would    interest   themselves    and    feel    free    in 
expressing  their  opinions. 

Your  committee  would  like  you  to  let  us  have 
in  written  form  any  matter  that  you  believe 
is  worthy  of  general  discussion  and  if  possible 
we  will  try  to  find  someone  attending  the  con- 


your 


vention    who    is    thoroly    familiar    with 
problem  to  lead  the  discussion. 

Now — let  us  all  go  to  work!  Let  us  make 
this  the  most  inspiring  convention  that  the 
booksellers  of  America  have  ever  held.  It  is 
entirely  up  to  us ! 


Report  of  Chairman  of  the  Entertainment  Committee 

By  Simon  L.  Nye 


MR.  Ptesident,  Fellow  Members  and 
Guests:  I  am  glad  to  see  so  many  of 
you  here,  which  proves  to  me  that  our 
publicity  has  borne  fruit.  I  wish  to  express 
my  thanks  to  the  travelers  who  have  kindly 
and  liberally  spread  our  propaganda,  shown  by 
the  registrations  here  from  Oregon  and  Texas, 
from  Maine,  and  all  sections  of  the  United 
States.  In  passing,  I  want  to  mention  and  thank 


SIMON    L.    NYE,    CHAIRMAN    OF 
THE        ENTERTAINMENT        COM- 
MITTEE 

by  just  a  word,  the  following  publications,  of 
which  I  could  say  a  great  deal  if  time  would 
permit,  but  I  will  do  nothing  but  mention  them 
and  express  the  thanks  of  the  committee:  The 
Bookseller  and  Stationer,  The  Publishers' 
Weekly,  The  Modern  Stationer  &  Bookseller, 
The  Baker  &  Taylor  Company,  I  and  M.  Ot- 
tenheimer,  D.  Appleton  &  Company,  Geyer's 
Stationer,  L.  M.  Cross,  editor  of  Successful 
Selling,  and  Doubleday,  Page,  who  very  kindly 
volunteered  to  furnish  our  program  for  us 
free  of  charge,  but  owing  to  the  principle 
under  which  we  endeavored  to  arrange  this 
convention, — ^that  is,  to  run  the  convention 
under  the  auspices  of  the  Booksellers'  Asso- 
ciation, we  were  forced  to  decline  their  kind 


offer.  We  appreciate  it,  however.  There  is 
one  in  particular,  without  whom  we  could  never 
have  made  any  progress.  I  refer  to  our  most 
efficient  and  painstaking  secretary,  Belle 
Walker.  (Applause.)  She  has  done  wonder- 
ful work.  She  has  established  vibrations  be- 
tween New  York  and  Washington,  and  I  will 
confess  that  I  have  never  had  a  more  extended 
or  extensive  correspondence  with  any  female 
of  the  species,  not  even  excepting  my  wife. 

I  want  to  thank  the  members  of  my  com- 
mittee who  have  so  ably  assisted  me  in  per- 
fecting our  arrangements  here.  I  am  mighty 
glad  to  see  so  many  of  you  here  and  I  am 
sure  that  tomorrow  this  room  is  going  to  be 
crowded,  for  I  understand  a  great  many  are 
coming  later  today,  some  having  missed  the 
earlier  train  from  New  York.  We  are  look- 
ing forward  to  going  down  in  history  as  the 
largest  convention  that  has  ever  been  held  up 
to  this  time.      I  thank  you.     [Applause.] 

Mr.  Kidd:  I  haven't  anything  to  say  gentle- 
men, except  that  up  to  within  about  twenty 
minutes  ago  we  had  462  members  in  this 
Association  and  we  need  2>^  to  make  500.  We 
would  like  to  have  them. 

President:  The  first  formal  paper  on  our 
program  is  on  "Selling  Juveniles  Fifty-Two 
Weetks  in  the  Year."  The  paper  has  been 
written  by  Gertrude  Andrus,  Manager  of  the 
Children's  Book  Department,  Frederick  & 
Nelson,  Seattle,  Washington.  Unfortunately, 
Miss  Andrus,  who  was  in  the  East  a  couple 
of  weeks  ago  has  been  compelled  to  return, 
and  her  paper  will  be  read  by  Marion  Humble 
of  the  Year  Round  Bookselling  Committee. 

Miss  Humble:  I  want  to  add  just  a  per- 
sonal note  of  introduction  to  Miss  Andrus's 
paper.  The  reason  she  came  on  a  couple  of 
weeks  ago  from  Frederick  &  Nelson  of  Seat- 
tle, was  because  they  are  going  to  enlarge 
their  children's  book  department  to  include 
adults'  books.  Miss  Andrus  has  been  so  suc- 
cessful in  selling  children's  t^ooks  52  weeks  in 
the  year  that  they  want  her  to  try  selling 
adults'  books  as  well.

Selling  Children's  Books  52  Weeks  in  the  Year 
By  Gertrude  Andrus 

Manager  of  the  Children's  Book  Department,  Frederick  &  Nelson,  Seattle,  Wash. 


SHE  had  on  a  silk  dress  trimmed  with  real 
lace  and  she  wore  a  few  good  jewels. 
She  was  on  her  way  home  from  Soutli 
America  with  her  grandson,  who  was  seven 
years  old  and  who  was  to  live  with  her  and 
go  to  school.  When  they  arrived  in  New 
York,  she  prepared  for  the  long  train  journey 
west  by  buying  the  child  some  plasticene  and 
some  colored  balls  which  fitted  into  holes. 
These  were  to  furnish  him  with  entertainment 
for  three  days ;  but  the  first  day  seemed  to  ex- 
haust their  possibilities. 

I  made  his  acquaintance  in  the  observation 
car  while  I  watched  him  istudy  hungrily  the 
pictures  in  the  Literary  Digest'  and  in  Asia. 
"Did  you  ever  hear  about  Cinderella?"  I 
asked,  "or  Peter  Raibbit,  or  Jack  the  Giant- 
Killer,  or  Red  Ridinghood?"  "No— tell  me." 
And  then,  "tell  me  another."  I  had  the  same 
feeling  in  telling  stories  to  that  child  that  I 
have  when  I  pour  water  on  a  thirsty  plant, 
and  the  same  desire  to  see  growth. 

Catch  the   Child's  Own  Interest 

His  grandmother  typifies  that  large  group 
of  people  to  whom  a  book  is  the  last  thing 
thought  of  in  connection  with  a  child's 
amusement.  To  us,  who  live  our  lives  com- 
pletely surrounded  by  books,  it  is  incredible 
that  so  many  people  should  be  devoid  of  the 
least  interest  in  the  printed  word  and  should 
be  so  unenlightened  as  not  to  appreciate  what 
books  may  mean  in  the  spiritual  development 
of  their  children. 

It's  easy  enough  to  sell  books  to  people 
who  know  they  want  them,  and  they  are  the 
ones  who  zvill  buy  52  weeks  in  the  year.  But 
the  folks  whose  purchases  make  up  the  differ- 
ence between  success  and  failure  in  our  busi- 
ness are  the  ones  we  have  first  to  convince 
that  proper  books  are  as  essential  as  proper 
food  and  that  they  will  give  as  much  pleasure 
as  a  toy. 

That's  a  pretty  hard  thing  to  do  and  it's 
an  impossible  thing  to  do  without  the  active 
co-operation  of  the  childreji.  Catch  their  in- 
terest, make  them  want  to  come  to  see  the 
books,  give  them  the  feeling  that  the  shop 
belongs  to  them,  that  the  people  in  the  shop 
are  their  personal  friends,  that  in  the  shop 
there  are  things  going  on  in  which  they  are 
interested,  and  you  will  have  those  children 
not  only  talking  books  to  their  parents  but 
talking  about  your  particular  shop  as  the 
place  to  get  those  books. 

Probably    the    most    successful    event   which 


we  have  had  in  our  book  shop  was  the  boat- 
building contest  which  lasted  for  a  week  and 
nearly  ruined  our  nerves  and  dispositions. 
And  because  it  didn't  double  the  day's  sales, 
I  suppose  some  folks  would  call  it  a  waste 
of  time.  To  us  it  seems  the  best  of  propa- 
ganda, for  it  brought  us  fifty  or  a  hundred 
boys  during  the  day,  each  one  doing  some- 
thing that  he  wanted  very  much  to  do  and 
having  an  extremely  good  time  in  the  book 
shop,  which  from  now  on  will  be  associated 
in  his  mind  with  an  agreeable  experience. 

We  had  a  display  of  boat  models  made 
by  one  of  the  manual  training  classes  and 
we  had  an  ex-sailor  who  gave  the  boys  prac- 
tical instruction  in  making  and  rigging  boats. 
We  waded  in  shavings,  and  knives  flourished 
in  dangerous  proximity*  to  the  other  fellow's 
ears,  but  we  came  thru  unscathed,  fully  con- 
vinced that  it  had  been  good  for  business  and 
that  we  had  made  friends  for  our  book  shop 
who  would  not  forget,  and  who,  when  they 
thought  of  books,  would  think  of  Frederick 
&  Nelson. 

One  week  Peter  Rabbit  came  to  see  us. 
'He  came  early  in  the  mornings,  and  we  asked 
all  the  littlest  children  to  meet  him.  He  had 
a  little  stage  all  to  himself  and  a  sufficient 
space  was  roped  off  in  front  of  it,  to  pre- 
vent the  more  enterprising  among  the  chil- 
dren from  seeing  the  puppeteer. 

A  display  of  rag  dolls  made  by  children 
brought  in  crowds  of  people  and  gave  us  an 
opportunity  for  some  good  advertising;  and 
a  sleight-of-hand  performance  is  going  to 
give  the  older  boys  a  lot  of  fun  as  well  as 
sell  a  number  of  books  on  magic. 

A  Birthday  Mailing  List 

A  few  bookstores  provide  a  low  table  and 
chairs  that  fit  short  legs,  and  at  this  tabic 
may  be  found  a  collection  of  books  just  on 
purpose  to  be  read,  and  handled,  and  looked 
at.  This  is  really  good  advertising  in  several 
ways.  It  brings  the  children  and  mothers  in 
to  rest  and  look  at  books,  and  it  sells  definite 
books,  for  quite  frequently  a  story  isn't  fin- 
ished when  the  time  comes  to  go  home  and  so 
the  book  must  be  purchased  to  still  the 
clamor.  Moreover,  it  helps  to  keep  the  rest 
of  the  stock  free  from  handling  by  restless, 
grimy,  little  hands. 

What  counts  most  in  a  bookstore  is  the 
personal  relationship  between  the  buyer  and 
the  seller  and  this  is  particularly  true  in  the 
selling  of   children's  books.     It's   so   easy    to 


1402 


The  Publishers'   Weekly 


make  friends  with  children,  and  it's  so  much 
fun,  and  it's  such  corking  good  advertising, 
for  every  father  and  mother  thinks  of  course 
that  their  child  is  a  most  extraordinary  child. 

Mr.  Hotchkiss,  of  Portland,  Ore.,  who 
is  here  this  afternoon,  has  an  extremely  clever 
assistant  in  charge  of  his  children's  depart- 
ment. She  uses  a  birthday  mailing  list  num- 
bering about  2,500  names  which  is  one  of  the 
store's  most  valuable  means  of  publicity  and 
in  which  she  makes  memoranda  as  to  what 
books  the  child  has  and  what  'books  he  wants. 
This  list  is  consulted  whenever  a  new  book 
is  purchased  for  a  child,  and  the  personal  touch 
given  in  this  way  brings  a  customer  back 
when  another  book  is  to  be  bought. 

It  doesn't  make  any  difference  how  big  or 
how  little  our  business,  it  can  be  made  bigger 
by  the  personality  we  put  into  our  book-sell- 
ing, and  when  we  put  as  much  thought  into 
the  selling  of  children's  books  as  we  put  into 
the  selling  o[  adult  books,  we  shall  make 
books  for  young  folks  into  a  52  weeks  propo- 
sition.    But  not  before. 

Every  alert  business  man  recognizes  the 
fact  that  by  building  his  business  with  chil- 
dren he  is  building  his  business  for  the  future. 
If  their  interest  in  his  store  is  established 
in  childhood  the  chances  are  good  that  it  will 
continue  into  maturity.  There  are  book- 
dealers,  however,  who  belong  to  the  class 
which  is  not  interested  in  children's  books. 
They  know  very  little  about  children  and 
less  about  their  books,  and  they  are  too  bored 
by  the  whole  thing  to  try  to  find  out  more.  So 
they  poke  what  is  frequently  called  the 
''juvenile  collection"  into  the  baqk  of  the 
store,  and  then  sit  down  and  wait  for  a  merci- 
ful Providence  to  send  in  someone  w^ho  zvanfs 
to  buy  a  child's  book  and  who  is  so  deter- 
mined to  spend  money  for  that  purpose  that 
no  obstacle  will  prevent  him. 

Books  As  Gifts 

At  Christmas  time  of  course,  children's 
books  are  to  the  fore.  And  there  we  have 
in  a  nutshell,  the  reason  why  we  don't  §ell 
them  52  weeks  in  the  year.  Everyone  looks 
on  a  child's  book  as  a  gift.  Most  of  us  do. 
And  our  customers  certainly  do.  The  very 
first  thing  that  is  indispensable  to  a  year 
'round  selling  campaign  is  to  talk  books  for 
children  as  essentials,  not  as  luxuries,  as  every- 
day necessities  and  not  as  occasional  indul- 
gences. We  must  set  ourselves  the  Hercu- 
lean task  of  convincing  the  grown-up  who 
never  read  a  book  thru  in  his  life  that  books 
are     fundamental     in     his     child's     character 


growth.  People  will  do  anything  for  their 
children's  good;  they  will  even  buy  books  for 
them,  if  we  can  show  them  that  it  is  worth 
their  while. 

Intensiive  advertising  can  accomplish  any- 
thing. Isn't  B.  V.  D.  a  part  of  our  "Ameri- 
can language."  And  doesn't  "it  floats"  mean 
simply  soap  to  us?  If  each  one  of  us  gives 
even  a  part  of  his  attention  to  children's 
books  for  the  whole  twelve  months  of  the 
year,  we  can  make  the  association  of  ideas 
work  for  us  overtime,  so  that  when  we  say 
"children"  people  will  instinctively  think 
"books"  just  as  they  now  think  "shoes  and 
stockings,"  "ham  and  eggs,"  "Haig  and  Haig." 

Two   Things  To  Do 

We  need  to  ally  ourselves  with  every  or- 
ganization in  our  community  which  is  work- 
ing for  children — women's  clubs,  parent- 
teacher  organizations,  schools,  churches,  and 
above  all,  libraries.  We  must  convince  them 
that  we  also  are  an  educational  institution 
and  that  we  are  actuated  by  something  be- 
sides a  desire  to  sell  more  books.  We  want 
to  sell  more  books  and  we  want  to  sell  better 
books,  and  in  order  to  accomplish  our  ends 
there  are  two  things  we  must  do. 

First:  We  must  be  interested  ourselves  in 
children's  books.  If  we  aren't  interested,  we 
must  pretend  we  are,  until  the  pretense  be- 
comes a  necessity,  "Assume  a  virtue  if  you 
have  it  not."  It  can  be  done.  Two  books 
that  will  help  to  do  it  are  Miss  Hunt's  "What 
Shall  We  Read  to  the  Children,"  and  Miss 
Moore's   "Roads  to   Childhood." 

Second:  We  must  capitalize  our  interest 
by  pushing  children's  books,  putting  them  in 
a  conspicuous  position  in  the  store,  publish- 
ing lists  on  timely  topics,  circularizing  the 
children  as  well  as  the  adults,  emphasizing 
personality  in  the  selection  of  the  sales- 
people and  insisting  on  actual  acquaintance 
with  the  book  sold  and  a  high  standard  of 
critical  ability.  The  person  who  successfully 
sells  children's  books  really  must  know. 

Children's  Book  Week  has  shown  what  we 
can  do  when  we  put  our  minds  to  it.  And 
the  logical  deduction  is  clear.  If  we  put  our 
minds  to  it  we  can  sell  children's  books  52 
weeks  in  the  year.  It  means  hard  work  and 
a  lot  of  it.  But  there's  always  this  alterna- 
tive. We  can  sit  and  vegetate  and  mark

can  say  is  that  the  book-dealer  who  is  con-

Some  Aspects  of  Modern  Bookstore  Management 


By  John  T.  Hotchkiss 

The  J.  K.  GUI  Co.,  Parfland,  Oregon. 


iiT~^ \ST  is  East  and  West  is  West,  and 
p*  ^  never  the  twain  shall  meet"  is  not  true 
of  the  booksellers,  for  tho  separated 
by  days  and  nights  of  tedious  railroad  journey, 
there  are  booksellers  gathered  here  today  from 
the  four  points  of  the  compass,  and  we  meet 
on  the  common  ground  of  similar  problems  and 
similar  aspirations. 

We  are  here  for  the  purpose  of  getting  light, 
if  possible,  on  some  of  the  problems  that  beset 
us,  and  for  the  wonder  full  inspiration  that  is  to 
be  gained  from  actual  contact  with  a  great 
body  of  representative  men  and  women  en- 
gaged in  the  same  line  of  endeavor. 

The  keynote  of  this  convention  will  be,  I 
sincerely  hope,  one  of  practical  optimism  and 
its  object,  trade  solidarity,  for  these  are  con- 
structive forces  by  which  all  booksellers  may 
benefit.  I  trust  that  it  may  also  be  a  conven- 
tion in  which  practical  new  ideas  will  be  de- 
veloped and  old  ones  revamped. 

Bookselling  a  Business 

But,  after  all,  ideas  can  only  reach  us  in 
the  terms  of  our  own  mental  equipment.  What 
the  ihen  eats  is  given  back  in  terms  of  eggs, 
while  the  same  food  given  the  cow  produces 
milk.  The  problem  then  is  to  be  able  to  recog- 
nize the  significance  of  ideas,  know  why  they 
are  significant  and  the  extent  of  their  possible 
adaptability  to  the  terms  of  our  individual 
problems. 

The  old  time  bookseller  bought  books  rather 
less  with  the  idea  of  profit  than  because  he 
loved  them — 'he  handled  them — ^he  dandled 
them' — ^and  like  Ballinger  in  that  lovable  story 
by  Roswell  Fields,  he  hated  to  let  them  go, 
lest  they  fall  into  unappreciative  hands. 

Bookselling  was  a  profession — open  to  the 
chosen  few  and  catering  to  a  limited  clientele. 
The  commercial  spirit  was  taboo.  So  wrapped 
up  in  what  he  was  doing,  so  in  love  with  his 
orwn  wares,  was  the  old  time  bookseller,  that 
he  was  in  many  cases'  scarcely  aware  of  what 
was  going  on  in  the  world  about  him.  Times 
have  changed.  The  bookseller  is  ceasing  to  be 
the  backward  child  of  the  business  world. 
Many  factors  are  contributing  to  this  change 
in  his  attitude.  Prominent  among  them  I  think 
are  trade  papers,  the  Publishers'  Wekkly,  the 
Bookseller  &  Stai'ioner  and  others  with  their 
splendidly  constructive  editorials  and  helpful 
suggestions;  the  increased  discounts  allowed 
by  the  publishers;  and  the  educational  cam- 
paign of  the  American  Booksellers'  Associa- 
tion. 

The    modern    bookseller    tho    drawn    to    his 


profession  today,  as  in  the  olden  days,  by  a 
genuine  love  of  books,  and  who  is  as  desirous 
as  his  ancient  prototype  of  introducing  others 
to  the  pleasures  he  himself  enjoys,  is  deter- 
mined to  make  a  successful  business  issue  of 
bookselling.  He  knows  that  to  keep  his  foot- 
ing in  the  modern  business  world  he  must 
conduct  his  bookselling  on  a  business  basis. 
He  must  strive  like  any  other  anerchant,  for 
the  extra  turnover,  to  take  his  cash  discounts, 
to  maintain  a  mark-up  in  excess  of  his  over- 
head, and  to  pay  his  clerks  salaries  that  bear 
some  kind  of  relation  to  salaries  paid  in  other 
lines. 

I  am  come  from  the  far  Northwest,  from 
Portland,  the  Rose  City,  the  gem  in  the  crown 
of  Oregon  the  Wonderland,  to  tell  you  that 
the  J.  K.  Gill  Co.  has  faced  and  is  facing  the 
same  general  problems  that  confront  you.  In 
fact  we  think  we  have  a  greater  problem  than 
most  of  you,  and  I  will  tell  you  why. 

In  order  that  we  may  have  a  better  per- 
spective of  the  Northwest  and  of  the  pioneer 
conditions  that  still  influence,  let  us  remember 
that  it  is  only  slightly  over  a  century  ago  that 
William  Cullen  Bryant,  his  poetic  imagination 
lired  by  the  sonorous  sound  of  the  word  Ore- 
gon seen  in  an  old  copy  of  Jonathan  Carver's 
"Explorations,"  and  by  Lewis  &  Clark's  won- 
derful descriptions  of  the  "forest  primeval" 
wrote  an  undying  poem  and  sang  of  those 
"continuous  woods  where  rolls  the  Oregon,  and 
hears  no  sound  save  its  own  dashings"  and 
thus  forever  fixed  the  name  "Oregon"  on  the 
consciousness  of  man.  It  is  only  slightly  over 
a  century  ago  that  the  chanting  of  the  voy- 
ageurs  and  the  thrust  of  the  canoe  paddle  were 
the  only  sounds  heard  on  the  bosom  of  the 
Columbia,  mightiest  of  rivers,  whose  shores 
are  now  adorned  for  200  miles  with  one  of  the 
greatest  scenic  highways  of  the  world. 

In  Praise  of  Oregon 

Oregon  is  almost  unbelievably  large  in  area, 
even  today  when  huge  sections,  now  known  as 
Washington,  Idaho,  northwest  Montana  and  a 
portion  of  Wyoming  are  no  longer  hers.  The 
J.  K.  Gill  Co.  has  a  measure  of  the  extent 
of  this  territory  in  the  expense  accounts  of 
our  travelers  who  cover  it  from  end  to  end. 
Let  me  see  if  I  can  give  you  some  idea  of 
the  physical  proportions  of  Oregon,  for  this 
is  an  important  factor  in  our  problem  of  book 
distribution.  I  will  quote  from  figures  given 
me  by  John  B.  Homer,  whose  book  "OregcMi, 
Her  History,  Her  Great  Men,  Her  Literature" 
is  published  by  us.

"If  Belgium,  Holland,  Servia,  Switzerland, 
and  Montenegro,  were  placed  side  by  side, 
then  to  that  we  added  Massachusetts,  Dela- 
ware, Vermont,  Connecticut,  there  would  be 
left  "in  the  confines  of  Oregon  ample  room  for 
little  Rhode  Island." 

Mere  size,  of  course,  does  not  make  great- 
ness but  confidence  is  felt  in  the  future  of  this 
state  when  it  is  realized  that  the  greatest  por- 
tion of  the  standing  timber  in  America  is  in 
Oregon ;  that  there  are  23  million  acres  of  land 
suitable  for  cultivation. 

No   Open  Sesame  to  Success 

While  all  these  natural  assets  promise  won- 
derful opportunities  for  the  bookseller  of  the 
future,  when  Oregon  shall  have  20  million 
people  instead  of  less  than  one,  they  have  also 
constituted  a  problem  that  has  required  in  its 
solving  a  management  necessarily  growing 
more  scientific,  and  an  organization  necessarily 
becoming  more  efficient,  as  the  J.  K.  Gill  Com- 
pany evolved  from  that  little  book  and  sta- 
tionery store  of  1871  thru  successive  stages 
to  the  present  time  when  it  is  said  to  have 
the  largest  store  in  which  is  operated  a  re- 
tail and  wholesale  book  and  stationery  busi- 
ness in  the  entire  Northwest.  I  shall  not  talk 
to  you  about  the  great  wholesale  and  retail 
stationery  and  office  supply  business  of  this 
firm.  That  is  a  story  in  and  of  itself.  Neither 
shall  I  go  into  a  discussion  of  the  stupendous 
school  text  book  business  this  firm  operates 
in  Oregon  and  Washington,  tho  it  is  the  larg- 
est in  the  West.  I  shall  not  speak  of  the  ex- 
tensive service  in  ibook  distribution  rendered 
by  our  wholesale  book  department  and  our 
library  department  in  their  natural  territory, 
Oregon,  Washington,  Idaho  and  Northern 
California.  But  tsince  the  majority  of  those 
present  are  interested  in  the  retail  .book  busi- 
ness, I  shall  stay  primarily  with  some  prob- 
lems of  the  retailer,  and  our  solution  of  them. 
There  is  no  more  an  "open  Sesame"  to  suc- 
cess in  bookselling,  than  there  is  in  any  other 
business. 

"The  price  of  liberty,"  said  Patrick  Henry, 
"is  eternal  vigilance".  It  is  a!lso  the  price  of 
success. 

If  there  is  a  bookseller  today  who  does  not 
know  with  certainty  the  percentage  of  his  gross 
sales  represented  by  his  overhead  as  well  as 
his  average  profit  on  sales,  to  him  I  say,  if 
you  can't  work  it  out  yourself,  put  your 
business  in  the  hands  of  an  auditor,  before  your 
creditors  put  it  in  the  hands  of  a  receiver,  for 
as  Little  Orphan  Annie  says  "The  Goblins'll 
get  you  if  you  don't  watch  out".  It  is  true 
that  figures  may  lie.  Perhaps  some  of  us  may 
agree  with  the  man  who  said  "There  are  three 
kinds  of  liars,  the  plain  liar,  the  damn  liar,  and 
the    statistican,'*    but    it    is    nevertheless    true 


The  Publishers*  Weekly 

that    figures  bring  to    light    many    important 
tho  sometimes  unpalatable  facts. 

An  essential  feature  of  management  is  the 
constant  study  to  keep  down  the  overhead.  I 
do  not  wish  to  be  unnecessarily  bromidic  but 
certain  fundamentals  cannot  be  repeated  too 
often.  San  Francisco  and  Bay  Counties  Book- 
sellers' League  declared  their  operating  costs 
in  1919  to  be  33  1-3  percent  of  the  selling 
price.  This  figure  may  seem  to  some  of  us  a 
trifle  high,  but  certainly  the  overhead  is  of 
necessity  higher  on  the  coast  and  in  the  North- 
west than  in  more  central  points,  nearer  to 
■publishing  localities. 

I  think  we  may  safely  take  it  as  a  fact  that 
the  overhead  of  most  bookstores  in  the  large 
centers  approximates  29  to  32  percent  of  the 
selling  price.  If  then  the  average  profit  approx- 
imates 34  percent  to  38  percent  there  is  small 
margin  for  guess  work. 

The  first  thing  to  seek  is  an  increased  volume 
of  sale — a  speeding  up  of  the  turnover  to  make 
the  gross  profit  increase  faster  than  the  over- 
head. For  instance.  Brown  has  a  book  busi- 
ness of  $50,000.  To  handle  that  business 
he  has  to  have  3  clerks  besides  himself  and  a 
bookkeeper.  His  overhead  is  32  percent  or 
$16,000.  He  could  handle,  and  without 
any  increase  in  rent,  heat,  light  or  salaries,  say 
perhaps  20  percent  more,  or  a  total  of  $60,- 
000.  This  increase  in  sales  without  a  pro- 
portionate increase  in  operating  costs  would 
cause  his  overhead  to  drop  below  30  percent 
and  thus  aflFord  him  a  good  safety  margin. 
Probably  more  businesses  are  wrecked  thru 
lack  of  the  imderstanding  of  the  turnover  and 
how  to  secure  it  than  thru  any  other  cause. 
It  might  not  be  amiss  for  us  to  consider  the 
turnover  here.  An  illustration  or  two  used  in 
an  address  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the  sta- 
tioners of  the  Northwest  may  serve  to  strip 
the  quesion  to  its   fundamentals. 

How  to  Figure  Turnovers 

Brown  buys  a  load  of  apples  for  $10.  He 
pays  a  man  $2  a  day  to  sell  them.  The 
apples  are  sold  for  $14.  Brown's  profit  is 
$14  less  $10  the  cost  of  the  apples  less  $2 
the  cost  of  the  labor,  or  a  profit  of  $2  on  the 
one  turnover. 

Suppose  that  by  pushing  a  little  harder  the 
man  sold  two  loads  in  a  day.  Brown  then 
has  $28  less  the  cost  of  the  apples  $20  less 
$2  the  cost  of  the  labor,  or  a  profit  of  $6  on 
the  two  turns,  which  is  three  times  what  it 
was  on  the  one  turnover. 

But  suppose  by  additional  effort  3  loads 
could  be  sold  in  one  day.  Brown  then  has 
3  times  $14  or  $42  less  $30  the  cost  of  the 
apples  less  $2  the  cost  of  the  labor,  or  a  profit 
of  $10  on  the  three  turns  which  is  5  times 
what  it  was  on  the  one  turn.

But  suppose  the  map  demands  more  money 
for  making  the  extra  turnover,  and  is  given 
$4.00  per  day.  Brown's  profit  would  still  be 
$8.00  on  the  three  turns  or  four  times  what 
it  was  on  one  turn. 


things    that    are    overlooked,    the    little    things 
that  stand  between  us  and  success. 

The  question  of  what,  properly  speaking,  is 
overhead  may  be  answered  briefly  by  saying 
it   includes :    rent,   salaries,    deliveries,   supplies, 


A  COMMITTEE  AT  WORK  ON  THE  ROOF  OF  THE  HOTEL  WASHINGTON.  THE 
RESOLUTIONS  COMMITTEE:  MR.  WILSON,  MR,  SCHENCK  (CHAIRMAN),  MR.

There  are  other  expense  items  that  enter 
into  the  transaction  but  it  is  not  essential  to 
the  point  to  discuss  them  here  since  it  is  a 
(principal  to  which  I  am  directing  your  at- 
tention. 

Let  us  approach  the  turnover  from  another 
angle.  Let  us  again  take  the  case  of  Brown 
the  Bookseller,  Let  us  assume  that  his  sales 
are  $50,000  and  carry  an  average  profit  of 
35  percent.  The  total  cost  of  the  goods  sold 
must  have  been  $32,500,  If  Brown  turned 
his  stock  twice  it  has  been  necessary  for  him 
to  carry  an  average  stock  of  $16,250.  If  he 
turned  3  times  his  average  stock  would  have 
been  $10,844.  But  say  he  turned  4  times  which 
would  be  excellent,  his  average  stock  would 
have  been  $8,125.  On  the  difference  in 
value  of  average  stock  carried,  that  is  between 
the  two  turns  and  four.  Brown  has  to  pay  6 
percent  interest  charges  on  the  extra  invest- 
ment of  -$3,125  or  $487.50,  and  has  sustained 
a  depreciation  charge  on  the  extra  investment 
of  about  5  percent,  or  $406.25.  He  then  shows 
on  4  turns  as  against  2,  net  gain  from  interest 
and   depreciation  alone  of  $893.75. 

Simple  illustrations  these,  but  they  deal  with 
fundamentals  and  I  think  fundamentals  should 
be   stated    simply.     It   is    often    the     obvious 


general  expenses,  advertising,  heat,  light,  in- 
surance,  taxes,   bad  debts,   depreciation. 

Those  of  you  who  heard  the  address  deliv- 
ered iby  DeWitt  Carl  Eggleston  last  year,  or 
read  it  in  the  Publishers'  Weekly,  on  an  ideal 
accounting  system  for  retail  bookstores  got 
from  it  many  vital  facts  about  costs.  Since 
the  bookseller  is  between  the  upper  and  lower 
mill  stones  of  an  inelastic  retail  price  and  a 
constantly  increasing  overhead  cost,  he  must 
be  constantly  on  the  lookout  for  ways  and 
means  of  reducing  the  overhead. 

Now,  he  who  would  reduce  his  overhead 
must  watch  the  leaks,  for  while,  as  some  one 
has  said,  "revenues  increase  arithmetically,  ex- 
penses increase  geometrically,"  One  of  the 
most  difficult  problems  to  handle  is  the  waste  of- 
time,  and  it  is  a  problem  which  increases  as  the 
scale  of  importance  of  the  individual 
decreases. 

If  all  the  time  l>etwcen  the  hours  of  open- 
ing and  closing  cou'ld  be  equally  well  used, 
reducing  the  overhead  would  be  far  less  dif- 
ficult. The  employee  who  can,  as  Kipling 
says,  "Fill  the  unforgiving  minute  with  sixty 
seconds  worth  of  distance  run"  is  a  rara  avis. 
Watch  him  carefully  or  your  competitor  will 
steal  him   from  you.

The  Publishers'   Weekly 


There  are  many  other  small  "leaks"  that 
cause  the  overhead  to  rise,  such  as  getting 
stock  by  express  that  should  have  been  order- 
ed early  enough  to  come  by  freight,  mistakes 
in  writing  down  customers'  initials,  street 
names  and  addresses  and  other  errors  caused 
by  carelessness  and  petty  thievery  .  But  I  v/iU 
not  take  the  time  to  dwell  on  these. 

The  most  scientific  method  of  buying  and  the 
most  effective  methods  of  displaying  stocks 
are  problems  not  as  yet  satisfactorily  solved. 
The  goal  is  always  further  on.  But  even 
these  do  not  constitute  the  greatest  problem  in 
my  opinion  that  confronts  the  management  of 
the  modern  store. 

According  to  Henry  Blackman  Sell,  "The 
successful  book  salesman  combines  the  grac- 
iousness  of  the  well-tipped  head  waiter,  the 
mind  reading  propensities  of  the  Hindu  Ciystal 
(Gazer,  and  some  of  the  finesse  of  the  French 
diplomat."  A.  Kroch  of  Chicago  adds  that 
"the  salesman  must  be  capable  of  keeping  up 
the  undying  fire  of  enthusiasm,  he  must  un- 
derstand that  the  puWlishers'  interests  and  his 
own  and  the  stores  are  alike.  Honest  and 
cheerful  service  must  be  the  watchword  ex- 
pressed  in  harmonious   teamwork." 

The  Big  Problem  Is  the  Sales  Force 

We  could,  all  of  us,  add  a  few  additional 
requiremeints,  I  am  sure,  ibut  these  two  gentle- 
men have  made  the  problem  serious  enough, 
In  ,  fact,  I  wonder  if  they  actually  know  of 
such  paragons  of  salesmen  as  they  describe  or 
whether  it  is  merely  that  they  agree  with 
Browning  that  "A  man's  reach  should  exceed 
his  grasp  or  else  what's  a  heaven  for." 

At  any  rate,  our  principal  problem  is  not 
one  concerning  super-salesmen  whom  we  often 
hear  of  but  seldom  see.  It  is  rather  the 
problem  of  the  average  salesman  whom  like 
the  poor,  we  have  with  us  alvrays.  What  can 
we  do  to  arouse  an  "undying  fire"  of  some 
kind,  in  him? 

.Perhaps  one  of  the  most  effective  vvuys  to 
get  the  best  results  from  the  members  of  tlie 
salesforce  is  to  regard  them  not  as  machines 
but  as  individuals  with  joys  and  sorrows, 
aspirations  and  ideals  like  your  own. 

They  are  as  responsive  as  yourselves  to  con- 
sideration, courtesy,  enthusiasm,  praise.  In  fact, 
if  in  your  contact  with  those  people  who  repre- 
sent you  with  the  public  and  on  whom  you  de- 
pend to  sell  your  wares  and  to  reflect  the  atmos- 
phere of  the  store,  you  have,  by  your  reco^^nl- 
tion  of  the  human  element,  by  your  willing- 
ness to  give  them  a  chance  for  their  "white 
alley"  aroused  their  enthusiasm  for  you  and 
your  business,  you  are  fortunate.  It  is  this 
enthusiasm,  this  loyalty,  this  co-operation  that 
will  make  the  wheels  of  your  business  go 
round    more    smoothly    and    swiftly    and    will 


put  you  many  miles   further   on   the   road  to 
the  ultimate  goal,  for  as  Kipling  so  truly  says : 

"It  ain't  the  guns  and   armaments 
Nor  the  army   as  a  whole. 
But  the  evir-asting  teamwork 
Of  every  bloomin'  soul." 

There  are  many  ways  in  which  the  manager 
can  arouse  the  spirit  of  enthusiasm — perhaps 
one  of  the  most  obvious  and  therefore  the 
most  neglected  is  the  word  of  appreciation  at 
the  right  time.  Don't  be  afraid  that  it  is  go- 
ing to  cost  you  money  if  you  give  it.  Be 
rather  afraid  it  will  cost  you  money  if  you 
don't.  Appreciation  is  a  sort  of  compensation 
in  itself.  Express  it  freely,  for  it  puts  the 
employee  "up  on  his  toes."  It  builds  up  the 
spirit  of  personal  loyalty  which  makes  a 
department  easier  to  handle. 

This  feeling  of  organization,  this  almost 
"family"  feeling  is  an  asset,  the  value  of  which 
we  are  only  beginning  to  realize.  It  can  be  built 
up  hy  aid  of  social  activities,  doing  things 
together,  such  as  getting  up  dancing  parties, 
going  to  shows,  dining  together  occasionally, 
forming  study  classes.  Heart  to  heart  talks 
with  assistants,  making  each  one  feel  that 
he  is  building  himself  as  well  as  selling  books, 
is  another  recipe  for  arousing  enthusiasm,  for 
ambition  is  always  enthusiastic.  Occasional 
talks  to  the  whole  department  by  able  men, 
talks  such  as  the  one  Emil  Heikel  gave  Gill's 
Friday  Nlight  Class  in  Bookselling,  helps  keep 
up   the   fire   of   enthusiasm,. 

The  financial  return  to  the  booksalesman 
should  be  in  proportion  to  the  production  of 
that  salesman.  The  old  dogma  that  a  "low 
wage  is  a  profitable  wage"  is,  I  hope,  on  its 
last  legs  among  forward-looking  men. 

The  wage  increase  should,  however,  come 
out  of  the  increased  profits  resulting  from  the 
employee's  increased  efficiency.  Let  us  bear 
in  mind  that  what  Emerson  calls  "the  law  of 
compensation"  is  operative  in  the  case  of  both 
the  employee  and  the  employer.  And  it  would 
be  well  I  think  for  every  employee  to  read 
and  ponder  these  profoundlly  significant  words 
of  our  President,  Mr.  Harding:  "there  is  no 
reward  without  labor, — no  com,pensation  with- 
out toil.  The  man  who  preaches  contrary 
gospel  is  doing  the  thing  that  would  under- 
mine ithe  American  Republic.  The  sweetest 
enjoyment  in  the  world  is  accomplishing  toil." 

The  desire  to  serve  and  the  joy  in  produc- 
tion hallows  toil  and  lifts  it  above  the  purely 
materialistic,  "where  there  is  no  vision  the 
people  perish,"  saith  the  inspired  writer  of 
proverbs.  I  read  a  short  time  ago  of  three 
workers  in  a  quarry.  One  was  asked  "What 
are  you  making?"  he  answered  surlily,  "$7-50 
a  day."  The  second  man  was  asked  "What 
are  you  making?"    He  answered  "I  am  cutting

marble  blocks."  The  third  was  asked  "What 
are  you  making?"  He  said,  "I  am  building 
a  cathedral."  The  third  man  had  joy  in  toil, 
the  joy  that  comes  from  doing  good  work  for 
its   own  sake.     He  had   vision. 

Now  let  us  discuss  that  important  element 
in  the  success  of  the  modern  store — the  manager 
himself. 

The  Manager  Himself 

He  is  the  captain  of  the  boat — it  is  up  to 
him.  The  crew  may  do  their  duty  efficiently 
and  Veil,  but  if  the  captain  does  not  know 
how  to  lay  the  course  wihat  chances  have  the 
crew? 

Descartes  said,  'T  am,  because  I  think." 
Constructive  thinking,  planning,  developing  and 
training  assistants,  building  up  enthusiasm,  and 
encouraging  team  work,  these  are  some  of  the 
things  that  mark  the  real  manager. 

"The  drudge  may  fret  and  tinker, 
Or   labor  with   lusty   blows 
But  back  of  him  stands  the  thinker, 
The  clear-eyed  man  who  knows. 
Might  of  the  roaring  boiler, 
Force  of   the   engine's  thrust. 
Strength    of   the  sweating   toiler. 
Greatly  in  these  we  trust. 
But  back  of  them   stands  the   schemer, 
The   thinker   who    drives   things   thru 
Back  of  the  jab,   the  dreamer, 
Who's  making  the  dream  come  true." 

The  manager's  own  problem  is  not  to  allow 
himself  to  become  a  putterer,  to  become  sub- 
merged in  detail  that  a  subordinate  could 
handle  well,  and  possibly  better.  The  tempta- 
tion to  try  to  do  everything  because  he  thinks 
he  can  do  it  better  than  others  has  caused 
many  a  promising  manager  to  degenerate  un- 
til he  becomes  like  that  elderly  wight  in 
"The  Yarn  of  the  Nancy  Bell,"  who  said: 

"I  am  the  cook  and  the  captain  bold. 
And  the  mate  of  the  Nancy  Brig. 
And  a  bo'   sun  tight,   and   a  midshipmite, 
And  the  crew  of  the  captain's  gig." 

This  type  of  manager  seems  unable  to  give 
other  than  grudging  approval  of  a  task  per- 
formed by  another.  Someone  said  "The 
Mephistopheles  of  denial  is  in  every  man," 
and  he  looms  large  in  that  man  who  will  not 
generously  approve  good  work  done  by  an  as- 
sistant. Whether  it  is  jealousy  or  plain  stupid- 
ity or  whatever  the  cause,  the  results  are  the 
same,  the  assistant  is  chilled,  initiative  is  check- 
ed and  the  spirit  of  loyal  co-operation  severely 
shaken.  There  is  a  certain  honor  m  the  title 
of  "manager"  where  worthily  worn  and  with 
this  honor  goes  a  responsibility,  not  only  that 
of  making  a  good  showing  for  the  department 
but  a  responsibility  for  the  welfare  and  growth 
of  those  who  are  under  him. 


"We  are  learning  more  and  more"  said. 
Franklin  K.  Mathiews,  "that  that  only  is  good 
business  which  is  considerate  of  the  other  fel- 
low, that  it  is  in  proportion  as  the  employer 
is  considerate  of  the  employee  and .  the  em- 
ployee is  considerate  of  the  employer,  in  pro- 
portion as  the  merchant  renders  good,  service 
to  'his  customers,  that  business  is  established 
on  a   firm   foundation." 

Perhaps  the  best  of  all  advertising  is  "good 
service."  "He  profits  most  who  serves  best" 
is  as  true  today  as  it  was  when  first  spoken, 
because  it  is  a  fundamental  law  based  on  a 
great  natural  principle.  It  is  a  law  applying 
both  to  individuals  and  to  businesses  and  it  is 
service  more  than  price  or  any  other  one 
thing,  that  brings  the  customer  back  to  your 
store   time  after   time. 

Advertising 

A  part  of  that  service  is  the  pleasant  smile 
and  spirit  of  ready  good  will  that  are  char- 
acteristic of  well-trained  and  happy  sales- 
people. A  part  of  that  service  is  the  feeling 
of  optimism  and  genuine  desire  to  please  that 
pervades  your  book  department.  A  part  of 
that  service  is  a  well-balanced,  carefully  watch- 
ed stock  that  somehow  seems  to  include  the 
things  people  want.  A  part  of  that  service 
is  a  carefully  handled  order  and  reference 
department,  to  procure  the  odd  titles  not  ordi- 
narily stocked.  These  things  are  real  ad- 
vertising— the  advertising  that  brings  results. 
Other  excellent  forms  of  advertising  that 
produce,  tho  in  a  lesser  degree,  are  tying  up 
with  clubs,  organizations,  such  as  Parent- 
Teachers,  Boy  Scouts,  Civic  Bodies,  and  every- 
thing having  a  community  interest,  tying  up 
with  items  of  interest  in  the  daily  papers, 
thru  show  window  displays,  a  card  index  file 
of  book  buyers,  their  likes  and  dislikes,  and 
thru  the  personal  letter  which  reaches  the  class 
directly  interested  and  which  is  good,  I  find, 
for  about  20  percent  immediate  return,  when 
carefully  planned. 

A  certain  amount  of  newspaper  advertising, 
featuring  the  book  idea,  the  charm  of  read- 
ing, the  joy  of  ownership,  rather  than  specific 
titles  that  are  discussed  today  and  dead  to- 
morrow, is  profitable  if  given  in  homeopathic 
doses. 

Working  hand  in  hand  with  the  librarian  in 
the  interest  of  reading  is  another  opportunity 
often  overlooked  or  undervalued.  The  librar- 
ian says.  "I  find  booksellers  unresponsive  to 
suggestion  and  offers  of  co-operation."  The 
bookseller  says,  "I  haven't  time  to  bother  with 
them."  But  such  is  not  the  case  in  Portland, 
for  we  know  the  value  of  teamwork  and 
organized  effort.  We  have  the  measure  of 
the  problem  of  the  boolkseller  and  the  librarian 
in  the  startling  figures  showing  the  enormous

sale  of  chewing  gum,  of  candy,  of  tobacco  as 
compared  with  the  sale  of  ibooks,  so  if  we 
"haven't  time"  we  take  it  from  less  important 
matters,  and  give  careful  consideration  to  any 
project  wherein  the  librarian  and  bookseller 
can  do  constructive  work  together. 

Only  a  few  weeks  ago  the  booksellers  help- 
ed to  put  over  "Library  Week"  in  Portland, 
in  cooperation  with  the  Public  Library  which 
was  soliciting  gifts  of  books  to  be  used  as 
replacement  copies.  "Library  Boxes"  were 
made  and  put  in  conspicuous  places  in  our 
stores,  with  signs  explaining  their  purpose. 
We  advertised  Library  Week  in  the  daily 
papers,  also  the  fact  that  we  would  call  for 
and  deliver  the  books  intended  as  gifts  to  the 
library. 

Co-operation  With  the  Library 

In  each  book  sold  during  the  week,  we  in- 
serted a  printed  circular  saying  "when  you 
have  finished  this  book  will  you  give  it  to 
your  Public  Library  if  you  have  no  other  use 
for  it." 

Library  week  was  a  success  from  the  stand- 
point of  the  quality  as  well  of  the  quantity  of 
books  given,  and  what  is  more  the  attention 
of  the  city  was  once  again  strongly  directed 
to  the  subject  of  'books,  and  their  part  in 
modern  life. 

We  consider  it  a  prime  requisite  of  good 
management  to  co-operate  heartily  in  all 
national  book  events  planned  or  suggested  by 
the  Year  Round  Bookselling  Committee. 

And  that  happiest  of  inspirations,  Children's 
Book  Week,  is  an  event  of  real  importance  in 
Portland.  It  is  featured  strongly  in  all  depart- 
ments of  our  business.  Special  displays  of 
the  best  juveniles,  both  old  and  new,  are  sent 
on  request  to  any  library  in  our  territory,  to- 
gether with  printed  matter  and  posters. 

Special  letters  and  announcements  together 
with  carefully  selected  suggested  lists  of  juv- 
enile books  for  stoak  are  sent  in  advance  of 
the  week  to  the  book  dealers  in  the  smaller 
places  urging  co-operation  thru  special  window 
and   inside  displays. 

Plans  for  Children's  Book  Week  are  care- 
fully worked  up  and  arrangements  made  weeks 
in  advance  for  newspaper  advertising,  for 
window  displays,  for  book  talks  in  the  depart- 
ment, and  before  civic  organizations,  for  book 
contests  and  other  schemes. 

Book  displays  are  loaned  for  use  in  the 
branch  libraries  in  the  outlying  sections  of  the 
city,  thus  giving  thousands  of  children  and 
their  parents,  an  opportunity  they  might  not 
otherwise  have  had  to  look  over  many  beauti- 
ful and  iworthwhile  new  books  and  at  the  same 
time  emphasizing  the  desirability  of  good  books 
for  gifts. 


Special  lists  of  books  recommended  by  lib- 
rarians and  hooksellers  are  featured  in  ad- 
vertising and  displays  and  are  distributed  by 
the  thousands,  thru  the  Parent-Teacher  Organi- 
zations, Boy  Scouts,  Camp  Fire  Girls,  and 
other  organizations,  as  well  as  in  the  store. 

Coimty  and  State  fairs  have  proved  good, 
opportunities  for  us  to  do  educational  work 
along  the  line  of  children's  reading.  Mission- 
ary work  of  this  kind  may  seem  to  some  to 
be  of  little  value,  but  we  consider  it  con- 
structive work  in  bookselling  and  therefore 
worthwhile.  We  never  fail  to  put  in  a  book 
booth  and  a  well-trained  attendant  whenever 
the  opportunity  presents  itself. 

The  tie-up  with  the  Boy  Scout  Executives 
and  leaders  is  a  definite  part  of  our  program. 
The  book-trade  is,  in  my  opinion,  under  very 
great  obligations  to  Franklin  K.  Mathiews, 
Chief  Scout  Librarian,  for  his  wonderfully 
farsighted  and  constructive  handling  of  the 
question  of  the  boy's  reading.  Altho  some  of 
his  pronounciamentos  were  felt  by  a  certain 
part  of  the  trade  to  be  a  little  unjust,  in  that 
they  indicated  the  scrapping  of  a  number  of 
very  active  series  of  boys'  books,  yet  so  fund- 
amentally right  (was  Mr.  Mathiews  that  I  am 
not  certain  but  that  he  deserves  an  Honorary 
Fellowship  as  one  who  has  done  much  for  the 
book-trade. 

Recommended   Juveniles 

The  Boy  Scout  executive  in  Portland,  Mr. 
Brockway,  is  doing  simply  invaluable  work 
with  his  leaders  and  his  2500  Boy  Scouts  and 
we  find  it  well  worthwhile  to  feature  Boy 
Scout  week  strongly  in  newspaper  ads  and  show 
windows  in  "The  Boys'  and  Girls'  Own  Book 
Shop",  where  there  is  a  special  room  called 
"The  Boy  Scouts'  Book  Room."  This  room 
is  a  Mecca  for  Scouts.  They  drop  in  to  see 
the  hooks,  register  in  the  Scout  guest  book  and 
listen  to  talks  on  how  to  make  wireless  sets 
and  other  absorbing  topics. 

Featuring  worthwhile  juvenile  books  is  one 
of  the  most  farsighted,  as  well  as  immediately 
profitable  plans  that  any  book-store  can  put 
into  operation,  for  it  has  often  been  said  the 
way  to  the  mind  of  the  mother  is  thru  the 
heart  of  the  child. 

Back  in  1914  we  made  a  very  definite  step 
in  this  direction  when  we  discontinued  a  num- 
ber of  series  of  juveniles  previously  sold  in 
quantities  and  set  apart  on  our  juvenile  floor 
a  special  room  of  considerable  proportions  in 
which  we  announced  that  -we  would  carry  only 
such  books  Cor  boys  and  girls  as  were  recom- 
mended by  our  city  and  state  libraries  and 
by  the  A.  L.  A.  This  idea  has  grown  until 
now  it  is  a  highly  important  part  of  our  book 
business,    and    "The    Boys'     and    Girls'     Own 


May  20,  1922

Book  Shop"  has  become  an  important  factor 
in  the  community  life  of  our  city. 

Featuring  local  authors  is  another  of  our 
plans  to  make  the  bookstore  an  integral  part 
of  the  community  life. 

"Oregon  Authors'  Week"  in  November  of 
each  year  is  the  outgrowth  of  this  idea  and 
has  now  become  an  annual  event  of  recognized 
importance.  Rather  extensive  plans  are  made 
for  the  week  including  the  informal  receptions 
in  the  book  department  which  is  a  congenial 
background  for  the  meeting  of  Oregon  writers 
and  Oregon  booklovers.  It  also  stimulates 
the  ambition  and  interest  of  a  younger  group 
of  writers  with  whom  I  believe  the  publishers 
must  reckon  in  the  future. 

It  was  in  the  book  department  that  Edwin 
Markham  was  so  royally  welcomed  by  Port- 
land booklovers,  on  the  occasion  of  his  return 
to  his  native  state  after  many  years  of 
wandering. 

Invitations  were  sent  the  patrons  of  the 
arts  and  a  very  large  crowd  of  choice  spirits 
gathered  on  the  afternoon  of  the  Markham 
reception  to  do  our  great  poet  honor.  Among 
other  interesting  events  of  the  afternoon,  aside 
from  the  remarkably  fine  response  by  Mr. 
Markham  to  the  dedication  and  presentation  of 
the  Edwin  Markham  rose,  was  his  election  as 
Poet  Laureate  of  Oregon.  The  official  pres- 
entation of  the  laurel  wreath  and  the  cere- 
monies of  the  coronation  took  place  in  the 
evening  at  an  invitational  lecture  extended  by 
The  J.  K.  IGill  Co.  to  the  booklovers  of  Port- 
land. 

At  a  banquet  given  the  literati  of  Oregon 
by  The  J.  K.  Gill  Co.,  "The  Oregon  Writers 
League"  was  formed.  This  league  which 
now  has  upward  of  150  members  active  and 
associate,  still  further  accelerates  the  growing 
interest  in  things  literary  in   Oregon. 

I  think  I  should  fail  in  my  duty  if  I  neglect- 
ed to  speak  at  this  time  of  another  problem 
of  bookselling  that   concerns  all   of   us. 

Relation  of  the  Bookstore,  Department  Store 
and  Publisher 

Some  in  our  ranks  damn  the  department 
store,  others  with  equal  emphasis  damn  the 
publishers.  I  cannot  find  it  in  my  heart  to 
do  either.  It  seems  to  me  that  the  department 
store  book  departments  undoubtedly  have  com- 
mitted business  sins  in  the  past,  yet  they  have, 
with  their  modern  methods  proved  invaluable 
aids  in  effectively,  if  somewhat  rudely,  awak- 
ening the  bookseller — the  Rip  Van  Winkle  of 
the  iDusiness  world — from  his  dreams  wherein 
intruded  no  thoughts  of  turnovers,  of  deprecia- 
tions, or  mark  ups. 

Just  as  the  live  bookseller  adds  the  knowl- 
edge of  merchandising  to  his  love  of  books, 
so  the  live  department  store  manager  adds  the 


appreciation  of  books  to  his  knowledge  of 
merchandising. 

There  are  today,  in  my  opinion,  no  keener 
members  of  the  bookselling  family  than  some 
of  those  who  are  in  charge  of  book  sections 
in   department    stores. 

As  to  the  publisher,  I  hold  no  brief  for 
him.  He  is  no  freer  from  the  shortcomings 
attendant  upon  faulty  vision  than  others  of 
the  book  producing  and  distributing  family. 
In  the  main  the  publishers  deal  as  fairly  with 
us  as  we  with  them,  nor  can  we  justly  blame 
them  very  much  for  the  "you've  got  to  show 
me"  attitude. 

Let  us  not  forget  that  it  has  not  been  man^ 
years  since  the  lx)okseller  and  the  department 
stores  were  hotly  contending  for  the  right  to 
sit  on  the  dunce's  stool  of  the  business  world 
by  cutting  prices  until  there  was  neither  honor 
nor  profit   in   bookselling. 

"All  For   One   and   One   For   All" 

So  great  a  lack  of  understanding  of  sound 
business  practice  and  so  little  appreciation  of 
the  "rules  of  the  game"  is  shown  by  some  of 
us,  that  when  increased  discounts  are  mentioned, 
there  are  both  booksellers  and  publishers  who 
join  in  raising  the  question  "Will  it  not  cause 
the  weak-kneed  among  us,  and  those  who  fear 
honest  competition  based  on  service,  to  begin 
anew  the  selfish  scramble  for  temporary  advan- 
tage at  the  expense  of  one  another?  Will  it  not 
result  in  throwing  the  book-trade  back  into  the 
unhappy  state  in  which  it  was  years  ago?" 

In  light  of  these  things,  small  wonder,  is  it 
not,  that  the  publisher  in  effect  says,  "You  may 
igive  away  your  profits  if  you've  no  better 
sense,  but  I'll  be  hanged  if  you  can  give  away 
mine,  too?" 

The  statement  of  William  Penn  some  three 
hundred  years  ago  that  "We  are  met  on  the 
broad  pathway  of  good  faith  and  good  will 
so  that  no  advantage  shall  be  taken  on  either 
side"  is  a  broad  and  stable  platform  whereon 
the  bookstore,  department  store  and  publisher 
may  stand  to  the  welfare  and  profit  of  all 
three. 

Surely  it  is  only  the  short  sighted  who  fail 
to  realize  that  the  future  welfare  of  the  book- 
seller, the  department  store  book  section  and 
the  publisher  is  so  closely  knit  that  to  injure 
one  is  to  injure  all.  It  seems  to  me  that  they 
might  well  adopt  for  their  working  slogan  the 
pledge  of  the  three  guardsmen  "All  for  one 
and  one  for  all." 

The  graver  problems  of  management  tho 
differing  in  detail  are  fundamentally  the  same 
in  all  lines  of  business.  The  study  of  the 
turnover,  the  markup,  the  overhead,  the  sales 
force,  is  of  vital  importance  to  the  bookseller 
as  well  as  to  other  merchants.  It  is  unfor- 
tunate that  we  have  for  so  many  years  allowed 


I4I0 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


ourselves-  to  assume  toward  other  lines  of 
business,  an  attitude  of  superiority  that  the 
facts  have  not  justified. 

Emerson  says  "We  are  as  lazy  as  we  dare 
to  ibe"  and  I  fear  this  is  only  too  true  of  the 
great  body  of  booksellers.  By  refusing  to 
learn  to  play  the  business  game  according  to 
the  rules  governing  it  we  have  virtually  kept 
the  t>ook-trade  on  the  side  lines  while  other 
businesses  under  clearer-visioned  leaders,  have 
forged  steadily  ahead. 

We,  who  profess  to  deal  in  the  productions 
of  the  brain,  and  who  modestly  admit  that  not 
all  the  brains  in  our  shops  are  between  the 
covers  of  books,  have  allowed  ourselves  to  be 
outstripped  by  those  of  less  pretension,  "the 
butcher,  the  baker,  the  candlestick  maker," 
who  thru  their  easy  victory  have  acquired  a 
sort  of  tolerant  contempt  for  both  bookseller 
and  his  business. 


But  if  I  do  not  misread  the  signs  of  the 
times  a  great  awakening  is  at  hand.  The 
bookseller  is  gaining  in  ability  as  a  merchant 
without  losing  his  love  for  and  appreciation  of 
books. 

The  material  reward  that  follows  in  the 
train  of  real  merchandising  ability  constantly 
adds  new  fuel  to  the  flame  of  his  interest  in 
that  greatest  of  all  games,  modern  business, 
and  new  appreciation  of  the  merits  of  the 
greatest  of  all  games,  modern  business,  and 
that  greatest  of  all  merchandise,  books. 

I  would  that  all  of  us,  wheresoever  dis- 
persed, might  take  into  our  minds  and  hearts 
with  the  steadfast  determination  to  translate 
into  action,  the  thought  that  Addison  makes 
Cato  voice  when  he  says : 
*"Tis  not  in  mortal  man  to  command  success 
But  we'll  do  more,   Sempronius,  we'll  deserve 

it." 


The  Year  Round  Bookselling  Campaign 
By  Frederic  G.  Melcher 

Chairman    of    the    Year    Round    Bookselling  Connniticc. 


WHEN  we  voted  so  unanimously  last 
year  to  come  to  Washington  for  this 
convention,  I  know  we  all  had  the  feel- 
ing that  we  had  gained  the  right  to  choose 
Washington  because  we  had  actually  become 
an  association  of  national  significance,  and 
it  is  this  same  feeling,  that  we  have  become 
national  and  can  take  a  place  among  those 
associations  sending  their  influence  all  over 
the  country,  which  is  to-day  b^ing  emphas- 
ized. We  have  had  read  a  paper  from  Seattle 
and  enjoyed  a  notable  address  from  Oregon. 
The  fact  that  I  have  discovered  Mr.  Hotch- 
kiss  to  be  as  great  an  orator  as  he  is  a 
writer  (and  he  is  my  favorite  correspondent), 
leads  me  to  venture  this  quip  in  return,  that 
"There  Rolls  Oregon"— "Massachusetts  Here 
She  Stands." 

At  the  start  I  would  like  to  bring  to  your 
mind  the  picture  of  the  building  which  I  saw 
in  the  early  light  as  I  came  over  from  Vir- 
ginia this  morning,  the  Lincoln  Memorial. 
The  sight  of  its  tremendous  columns  sent  me 
back  in  thought  to  an  oak  knoll  in  Southern 
Indiana,  near  one  of  the  humblest  of  rail- 
road crossings.  One  goes  up  that  knoll  to  a 
very  plain  little  marble  monument  marking 
the  place  where  rests  Nancy  Hanks,  the 
mother  of  the  man  who  is  honored  by  this 
great  monument.  In  a  country  that  can  move 
as  far  as  that  in  one  generation,  it  is  not 
at  all  surprising  that  we  booksellers  feel

lieve that  we  may  go  ahead  with  speed. 


Starting  witli  the  convention  in  Boston, 
thru  Philadelphia,  Atlantic  City  and  Washing- 
ton, we  have  been  conscious  that  we  are  really

under  way,  and  that  maybe  at  some  time  not 
too  far  distant  we  shall  have  a  really  national 
feeling,  a  national  efficiency  and  a  national 
power  to  do  all  that  can  be  done  thru  book- 
selling. I  believe  that  not  since  the  'inven- 
tion of  printing,  which  made  possible  the 
rapid  spread  of  ideas,  has  there  been  a  more 
interesting  age  to  live  and  work  in,  because 
in  our  time,  having  learned  how  to  multiply 
the  book,  we  are  now  interested  in  multiply- 
ing its  circulation.  We  find  ourselves  not 
alone  in  that  interest,  for,  as  we  step  for- 
ward, we  find  ourselves  in  step  with  other 
groups,  the  teachers,  the  librarians,  the  press. 
The  Chatauquas  emphasize  books  to  supple- 
ment their  speeches.  The  pulpit  gives  remark- 
able response  to  Religious  Book  Week, 
emphasizing  the  relation  of  the  written  to  the 
spoken  word.  And  we,  the  booksellers  and 
publishers,  find  that  we  are  just  stepping  on 
with  others,  not  apart  from  them,  and  in  this 
fellowship  we  find  new  confidence  and 
strength.  When  we  get  a  new  vision  of  what 
we  are  to  do,  we  get  new  strength  to  do  it, 
and  from  new  strength  comes  a  new  vision, 
and  so  the  cycle  goes  on.  I  believe  we  have 
made  a  marked  advance  in  our  profession, 
and  we  cannot  yet  appreciate  how  much  new 
invigoration  has  come  from  new  people,  new 
methods,  new  enthusiasm. 

There  are  four  points  on  which  we  have 
been  able  somevv^hat  to  clarify  our  minds  and 
on  the  last  of  the  four  I  speak  to-day.  We 
have  first,  a  much  higher  conception  of  the 
function  of  bookselling  than  we  have  had  in 
the  past ;  second,  a  higher  idea  of  our  respon- 
sibilit}'  in  giving  trained  service  in  book- 
selling; third,  a  higher  vision  of  the  virtues 
of  organization,  of  being  a  national  asso- 
ciation and  of  working  with  others ;  and 
fourth,  a  consciousness  of  a  wider  public 
recognition  of  what  bookselling  is.  These 
campaigns  have  given  us  an  assurance  that 
the  public  Is  interested  in  the  bookstore,  while 
we  thought  they  were  only  standing  around 
joking  about  us. 

Growth  of  Children's  Book  Week 
I  am  speaking  for  the  Year  Round  Book- 
selling Campaign  of  the  National  Associa- 
tion of  Book  Publishers.  I  want  you  first  to 
look  at  its  growth  as  a  co-operative  effort,  as 
shown  on  this  chart.  Three  years  ago  when 
we  started  Children's  Book  Week  we  had 
about  600  co-operating  in  the  work.  You 
remember  that  it  was  at  the  Boston  conven- 
tion that  the  idea  was  launched.  The  re- 
sponse from  all  over  the  country  has  shown 
that  the  idea  has  grown  into  a  national  event, 
of  which  we  cannot  yet  see  the  end.  This 
year  it  has  been  made  a  part  of  the  conven- 


tion program  of  the  National  Educational 
Association,  as  important  a  body  as  could 
add  its  influence  and  backing  to  putting 
"more  books  in  the  home." 

Then  I  ask  you  to  read  the  other  column, 
showing  the  total  to  which  co-operation  has 
increased.  Our  mailing  lists  are  significant. 
There  is  a  list  of  1880  dealers  who  are  inter- 
ested in  having  ideas  which  will  help  book- 
selling; a  list  of  libraries,  nearly  500,  who 
want  to  give  their  help  and  co-operation,  and 
you  know  how  much  they  can  help;  there  is 
a  list  of  250  newspapers  and  editors  who  re- 
ceive our  material  because  it  is  real  news 
that  they  need  as  news,  and  not  as  space 
fillers.  We  have  with  us  about  95%  of  the 
publishers  of  the  country  who  could  be  con- 
sidered as  being  interested  in  trade  selling, 
and  a  heavy  percentage  of  the  booksellers 
who  could  be  considered  in  the  same  class. 
All  this  growth,  as  you  will  notice,  has  come 
in  the  most  troublous  years  that  American 
business  has  ever  seen,  except  possibly  the 
famous  panic  of  '93.  Book  distribution  has 
gone  ahead  in  spite  of  these  conditions. 

Growth  in  Advertisinj; 

Publishers,  on  their  part,  have  advertised 
more  than  ever  before,  and  I  ask  those  who 
are  interested  in  advertising  to  show  me 
many  industries  which  have  put  forth  any 
more  energy  in  a  time  when  energy  was  most 
needed.  Retailers  have  used  more  energy  and 
imagination  than  at  any  time  in  recent  years. 
More  bookstores  have  been  started  than  in 
any  of  the  years  since  I  have  watched  the 
records,  and  that  is  not  true  of  many  other 
lines. 

During  this  time  we  have  had  such  co- 
operation from  related  groups  as  we  hardly 
dared  to  expect.  I  point  with  deep  pride  to 
the  fact  that  the  Year  Round  Bookselling  ma- 
terial has  been  asked  for  by  booksellers,  li- 
brarians, churches,  clubs,  schools,  news- 
papers, magazines  and  individuals— more  than 
a  million  and  a  half  pieces  having  been  dis- 
tributed since  the  last  time  we  met. 

I  want,  before  speaking  of  this  year's  pro- 
gram, to  show  what  has  been  done  since  last 
May's  convention.  Our  first  effort  was  to 
get  a  Gift  Campaign  started— an  effort  which 
must  continue  until  everybody  thinks  of  gifts 
and  books  together.  For  the  summer  "Take 
Along  a  Book"  proved  one  of  the  best  slo- 
gans we  ever  had.  We  made  a  summer  con- 
nection with  the  librarians  by  a  Children's 
Book  Week  session  at  their  great  convention. 
We  had  our  first  contact  with  the  Chatauqua, 
a  lecture  at  the  big  amphitheater.  There  is 
this  year  the  possibility  that  the  traveling 
Chatauqua  lecturers  may  do  more  to  emphas-

ize  book  ownership  and  home  libraries.  We 
had  a  fall  campaign  on  "All  Roads  Lead  to 
the  Bookstore,"  and  our  third  Children's  Book 
Week,  which  grew  to  such  an  extent  that  we 
could  hardly  supply  material.  Then  there 
was  our  first  Christmas  Campaign,  which  this 
year  we  hope  to  make  even  bigger. 

As  we  turned  to  the  new  year  we  had  these 
questions  to  consider.  First;  to  decide  whether 
it  had  all  been  worth  while.  We  asked  for  the 
publishers'  opinion,  pointing  out  the  weak 
spots     and     disappointments,     asking     them 


dozen  publishers  underwrote  part  of  this  and 
formed  a  finance  committee  to  complete  the 
subscription,  so  that  we  might  have  it  as  the 
months  went  by  and  expenses  rolled  in.  We 
had  to  make  sure  of  retail  co-operation  so 
we  sent  word  to  nearly  1900  booksellers  that 
we  were  off  for  another  year.  Besides  more 
material,  we  had  to  insure  close  tie-up  with 
the  trade,  and  this  Miss  Humble  planned  to 
do  thru  news  sheets  sent  out  every  two  weeks. 
These  have  been,  I  think,  a  fine  example  of 
journalism.     Then  there  had  to  be  more  cor-

frankly  whether  results  were  coming  in,  and 
the  answer  was:  "Go  ahead  again  by  all 
means !" 

Second;  what  facilities  and  what  sort  of 
a  budget  was  needed.  The  amount  of  material 
in  demand  had  increased  enormously,  and 
we  had  to  more  than  double  the  budget.     A 


resp-ondence,  more  news  stories,  and  more 
stories  in  the  magazines.  When  all  this  pro- 
gram had  been  analyzed  there  was  a  budget 
of  $30,000. 

Before  such  a  campaign  could  be  put  on,  we 
had  to  have  new  quarters  and  these  were  pro- 
vided, giving  room  for  a  staff  of  three.    Next

came  the  organization  of  a  committee  of  fif- 
teen, to  be  responsible  for  the  detailed  plans, 
and  for  this  it  seemed  best  to  choose  five 
sales-managers,  five  advertising  men  and  five 
men  experienced  on  the  road.  The  next  step 
in  the  mind  of  the  one  who  had  been  elected 
chairman  for  another  year  was  to  secure,  if 
possible,  the  continued  help  of  Marion  Hum- 
ble, without  whom  the  figures  I  have  shown 
you  would  have  been  impossible.  The  fact 
that  one  and  a  half  million  competently  pre- 
pared  pieces    of   materia'l   have   gone   out   on

vised  by  the  publis'hers.  It  seemed  best  again 
to  make  the  campaigns  seasonal,  so  that  deal- 
ers would  be  supplied  with  at  least  one  good 
merchandising  idea  a  month,  which  would  be 
backed  up  by  publishers  in  their  advertising, 
or  in  their  special  plans  for  merchandise  to 
be  sold,  this  to  be  backed  up  as  far  as  pos- 
sible by  the  press  and  the  magazines.  To 
make  the  posters  more  useful,  it  was  decided 
to  send  out  to  every  subscriber  a  mahogany 
frame,  such  as  these  on  the  wall.  It  seemed 
an  expensive  item  at  the  start — $900 — but  to

time  is  mainly  due  to  Miss  Humble,  as  the 
committee  as  well  as  the  chairman  will  tes- 
tify. After  increasing  and  revising  our  mail- 
ing list  we  were  ready  for  a  new  season. 

I  will  analyze  only  briefly  what  we  have 
tried  to  do  this  year,  but  we  weighed  every 
possible  lead  sent  in  by  the  retailers  or  ad- 


each  of  eighteen  hundred  interested  dealers 
was  mailed  a  frame  which  they  are  using 
from  month  to  month,  keeping  the  posters 
fresh  for  further  use.  Another  new  idea  was 
the  window  transparency  "Take  Along  A 
Book"  which  will  meet  a  person's  eye  while 
he  is  looking  into  a  shop  window  but  has  not

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


connected  up  books  with  his  own  purchase. 
We  wanted  to  have  as  many  posters  as  pos- 
sible, so  you  would  not  be  without  a  new 
one  each  month  and  many  of  them  can  be 
used  for  continuous  display.  We  have  tried 
color  because  that  was  most  in  demand,  but 
we  show  here  a  silhouette  by  Ethel  Taylor,  a 
cartoon  by  Clarence  Day,  Jr.,  and  a  roto- 
gravure for  a  wedding  gift  poster  prepared 
by  the  best  of  advertising  photographers.  This 
last  poster  will  go  out  in  a  couple  of  weeks. 

I  want  to  speak  for  just  a  moment  of  our 
slogans.  At  our  last  convention  we  had  a 
speaker  who  delighted  to  punch  holes  in  the 
"Buy-a-Book-a-Week"  slogan.  I  still  like  it 
and  have  found  many  more  who  do.  We 
dropped  it  on  account  of  the  criticism  that 
it  had  too  commercial  an  aspect.  We  dropped 
it  and  searched  for  others.  I  think  we  have 
had,  on  the  whole,  as  interesting  a  group  of 
slogans  as  any  advertising  campaign  has  ever 
developed.  We  have  not  selected  a  final  one 
but  before  you  leave  the  convention  I  am 
going  to  ask  you  to  give  me  a  ballot  on  one 
to  be  used  this  autumn. 

Our  campaigns  have  won  attention  abroad, 
and  we  have  had  many  letters  of  interest  from 
Shanghai,   Melbourne,   Paris   and   London. 

There  has  also  been  a  large  quantity  of 
imprint  material;  50,000  reproductions  of 
Children's  Book  Week  posters  alone  were 
sold.  The  only  reason  they  were  sold  was 
that  appropriations  have  limits,  and  it  seemed 
that  those  who  wanted  to  use  the  cards 
should  pay  for  them,  and  we  could  spend 
more  on  the  posters  that  we  sent  out  free. 

Books  As  News 

I  should  like  at  some  later  session  to  bring 
to  your  attention  a  plan  whereby  the  retail- 
ers can  take  up  some  special  aspect  of  this 
program  and  push  it  thru  on  their  own  plan- 
ning, so  that  what  is  going  will  go  farther 
still  while  the  impulse  is  strong. 

It  would  be  interesting  if  I  could  tell  you 
anecdotes  about  the  initiative  and  genius  of 
the  executive  secretary  of  this  campaign  in 
getting  books  talked  about.  It  is  not  by 
accident,  for  instance,  that  covers  on  popular 
magazines  have  several  times  emphasized 
books.  The  Woman's  Home  Companion  for 
June  will  carry  an  article  on  Ixwks,  which 
you  will  turn  to  and  read  for  your  own  in- 
terest. When  Children's  Book  Week  came  it 
echoed  all  over  the  country.  This  doesn't 
happen  by  accident.  Books  make  news.  No 
newspaper  is  expected  to  take  as  news,  items 
that  are  not  of  themselves  timely  and  inter- 
esting, but  articles  can  be  prepared  in  that 
spirit  and  made  ready  for  those  interested 
During    Rc'liglious    Book    Week    there    were 


many  special  numbers  among  the  religious 
periodicals  and  great  piles  of  clippings  came 
in  from  all  parts  of  the  country.  There  are 
two  hundred  and  fifty  newspapers  on  the  list 
which  have  received  the  news  releases,  and 
the  preparation  of  material  for  these  once  a 
week  is  a  part  of  the  work  Miss  Humble  has 
undertaken. 

We  have  also  been  interested  in  encourag- 
ing the  puhblication  of  lists  of  books,  tho 
not  issuing  them  ourselves.  The  American 
Library  Association  has  issued  very  timely 
lists,  as  have  many  magazines  in  connection 
with  special  articles.  All  this  increases  the 
chance  that  when  there  comes  the  impulse  to 
buy  a  book,  the  suggestion  of  what  book  to 
buy  may  be  present. 

Books  As  Gifts 

The  radio  proved  a  new  opportunity.  When 
William  J.  Bryan  could  not  take  time  to  talk 
at  Newark  about  Religious  Book  Week,  I 
took  the  assignment  myself,  and  had  a  chance 
to  speak  into  a  thing  that  looks  like  an  old 
gramophone  cylinder  and  to  know  that,  if 
anyone  was  listening,  I  could  be  heard  from 
the  Mississippi,  to  Montreal,  to  Florida. 

I  ought  to  read  to  you  from  the  enthusi- 
astic letters  about  the  campaign  that  have 
co;ne  from  the  booksellers  but  I  know  that 
it  is  best  that  they  be  omitted  at  this  hour. 

I  ask  especially  that  you  put  all  the  effort 
you  can  into  making  the  connection  between 
books  and  gifts  a  positive  thing.  To  get  that 
over  depends  on  co-operative  work.  The 
committee  is  trying  to  help  you  with  the 
material.  The  rotogravure  poster  "Will  the 
New  Home  Have  Books?"  and  the  one  em- 
phasizing the  place  of  books  as  graduation 
gifts,  are  going  out  to  you.  Talk  books  as 
gifts  to  your  friends  and  neighbors.  Talk 
it  to  your  relatives,  talk  it  anywhere,  be- 
cause it  will  somewhere  get  over  to  the  pub- 
lic. You  will  get  the  autumn  plans  later,  and 
November  12th  to  i8th  will  be  the  biggest 
Children's  Book  Week  yet. 

I  think  we  all  remember  that  within  the 
week  there  was  unveiled  in  this  city  another 
statute,  that  of  Grant.  And  one  thing  we 
remember  about  Grant  is  that  when  Lincoln 
was  asked  about  certain  things  being  said 
against  him  he  replied:  "But  I  cannot  spare 
him;  he  fights."  When  those  who  write 
books  and  those  who  publish  books  turn  now 
to  the  American  retail  booksellers  we  think 
they  are  saying:  "We  cannot  spare  them; 
they  fight." 

Last  year,  when  I  was  trying  to  become  a 
better  American  by  travel,  I  walked  the 
Lincoln  Highway  early  one  morning  in 
Grand    Island,    Nebraska    where    its    path    is

so  straight  that  you  almost  thmk  you  can 
see  it  reach  out  and  touch  those  great  parks 
of  the  Rockies.  It  seemed  to  me  that  the 
nation  within  my  time  had  come  to  under- 
stand that  those  places  of  wide  vista  belong 
to  all  the  people  and  that  w^hat  must  be  done 
now  is  to  improve  the  highways  so  that  all 
the  people  can  reach  them.  In  the  same  spirit 


it  is  agreed  that  books  belong  to  all  the  peo- 
ple, and  they  must  be  got  to  all  the  people. 
That  is  the  responsibility  of  publishers, 
booksellers,  librarians,  teachers.  Having 
undertaken  to  make  books  available,  under^ 
taken  the  task  of  adequately  distributing 
them,  we  have  an  important  part  to  play  in 
an  epochal  time.

The  Book-Trade  and  Price  Maintenance 

The  Report  of  the  Board  of  Trade 

By  Charles  E.  Butler 

Treasurer  of  Brentano's,  New  York 


1  DESIRE  to  express  my  thanks  and  appre- 
ciation for  the  honor  conferred  on  me  of  be- 
ginning the  proceedings  of  this  momentous 
day,  for  such  it  is.  For  the  first  time  in  our  ^^ 
history  we  are  making  a  direct  appeal  to  the'^ 
Government  and  the  people  of  the  United 
States  to  establish  by  law  the  right  of  "Fair 
Trading"  for  those  who  desire  to  practice  it, 
and  defend  them  by  law  against  the  attack  of 
predatory  price-cutters  who  prefer  that  method 
of  trading. 

I  will  not  enter  into  any  discussion  as  to 
the  rights  or  wrongs  of  the  situation,  for  more 
able  and  qualified  speakers  will  make  argu- 
ments before  you,  to  the  Government  and  to 
the  people  of  the  United  States. 

Some  of  you  perhaps  may  have  but  a  hazy 
idea  of  what  this  movement  fully  means.  It 
will  be  my  effort,  therefore,  to  enlighten  you 
as  briefly  as  I  can,  so  that  you  can  fully  under- 
stand the  entire  situation  as  it  will  be  discussed 
here  today. 

We  are  asking  for  the  passage  by  Congress 
of  the  bill  known  as  the  Stephens-Kelly  Bill 
H.  R.  II,  introduced  in  Congress  by  the  Hon. 
M.  Clyde  Kelly.  The  object  of  this  bill  is  for 
the  elimination  of  unfair  competition  by  means 
of  Price  Standardization. 
The  Kelly  Bill  provides: 
"That  in  any  contract  for  the  sale  of  articles 
of  commerce  to  any  dealer,  wholesale  or  re- 
tail, by  any  grower,  producer,  manufacturer 
or  owner  thereof,  under  trade-mark  or  special 
brand,  it  shall  be  lawful  for  such  vendor 
(seller)  to  prescribe  the  uniform  price  and 
manner  of  settlement  at  what  the  different 
qualities  and  quantities  of  each,  covered  b} 
such  contract  may  be  resold,  provided  that 
certain  conditions  are  complied  with."  etc., 
etc. 


This  means  that  where  a  producer  sells  his 
merchandise  at  a  standardised  price,,  in  accord- 
ance with  this  bill,  the  same  must  be  sold  to 
all  consumers  alike,  by  all  parties  concerned,

with  certain  provisions,  etc.,  etc.  Surely  you 
all  must  fully  appreciate  the  evils  of  price- 
cutting. 

A  very  important  factor  in  this  situation  is 
"The  Federal  Trade  Commission."  What  is 
this  Commission?  What  is  its  scope?  It  is  a 
small  body,  created  under  an  act  of  Congress, 
approved  September,  191 4.  It  is  given  a 
general  power  of  investigation  in  respect  to 
such  corporations,  and  their  relations  to  other 
corporations,  individuals,  associations  and 
partnerships. 

In  Section  5  of  the  Federal  Trade  Commis- 
sion Act  itself,  the  following  very  important 
provision  of  declarative  law  is  stated: 

"That  unfair  methods  of  competition  in  com- 
merce are  hereby  declared  unlawful." 

Section  2  prohibits  in  certain  cases : 

"Price  discrimination  where  the  effect  may 
be  to  substantially  lessen  competition,  or  tend 
to  create  a  monopoly  in  any  line  of  commerce." 

I  claim  that  those  two  clauses  fairly  cover 
the  entire  situation  that  we  are  trying  to 
remedy. 

Along  these  lines  a  meeting  was  held  in 
Washington  by  the  Federal  Trade  Commission, 
October,  1917,  to  hear  argument  by  representa- 
tives of  both  sides,  pro  and  con,  as  to  unfair 
methods  of  competition.  At  that  meeting  your 
speaker  represented  the  book-trade  and  made 
argument  in  opposition  to  price-cutting  and  for 
price  standardization.  Many  producers  and 
sellers  were  present  and  among  them  some  of 
the  most  notorious  price-cutters.  The  Federal 
Trade  Commission  thoroly  investigated  this. 

Now  note:  In  December,  1918,  about  four- 
teen months  after  this  meeting,  the  Federal 
Trade  Commission  made  a  unanimous  report 
to  Congress,  recommending  passage  of  the 
Stephens-Kelly  Bill  as  amended.  That  is,  the 
Kelly  Bill  was  amended  on  the  Stephens  Bill. 

It  would  seem  that  the  meeting  in  October, 
1917,  had  done  some  good.  I  quote  from  that 
report. 

From  Unanimous  Report  to  Congress  by 
Federal  Trade  Commission,  Recommending 
Passage  of  Stephens  (or  Kelly)  Bill  As 
Amended  December  20,  igi8. 

"The  consuming  public  does  not  enjoy  bene- 
fits 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. 

"There  must  be  a  common  ground  wherein 
the  rights  of  producer,  purveyor  and  consumer 
may  each  be  fully  secured  and  equity  done  to 
all.  The  search  for  such  a  ground  has  been  a 
task  of  the  Commission  and  results  in  the  fol- 
lowing conclusions: 


"(i)  That  producers  of  identified  goods 
should  be  protected  in  their  intangible  prop- 
erty  right   or  goodwill. 

"(2)  That  the  unlimited  power  both  to  fix 
and  to  enforce  and  maintain  a  resale  price 
may  not  be  made  lawful  with  safety. 

"(3)  That  unrestrained  price-cutting  is  not 
in  the  public  interest. 

(Now  that  is  another  vital  point,  that  unre- 
strained price-cutting  is  not  in  the  public  in- 
terest.) 

"Bills  now  pending  before  the  (Congress  may 
well  be  made  to  meet  the  difficulties  of  the 
situation  if  amended  to  provide  for  a  review 
of  the  terms  of  resale  contracts  and  a  revision 
of  resale  prices,  by  a  disinterested  agency. 

"Therefore,  it  is  recommended  that  it  be 
provided  by  law  that  if  the  manufacturer  of 
an  article  produced  and  sold  under  competitive 
conditions,  desires  to  fix  and  maintain  resale 
prices,  he  shall  file  with  an  agency  designated 
by  the  Congress,  a  description  of  such  article, 
the  contract  of  sale  and  the  price  schedule 
which  he  proposes  to  maintain,  and  that  the 
agency  designated  by  the  Congress  be  charged 
with  the  duty,  either  upon  its  own  initiative 
or  upon  complaint  of  any  dealer  or  consumer 
or  other  party  in  interest,  to  review  the  terms 
of  such  contract  and  to  revise  such  prices  and 
that  any  data  and  information  needful  for  a 
determination  be  made  available  to  such  agency. 

"Such  legislation  would  seem  to  be  in  ac- 
cord with  the  spirit  of  the  times  in  that  it  is 
designed,  by  removing  this  perplexity,  to  pro- 
mote the  efficiency  of  manufacturing  and  com- 
mercial institutions  and  so  to  serve  the  in- 
terest of  the  consuming  public." 

Please  bear  in  mind  that  this  is  the  judg- 
ment duly  rendered  after  a  hearing  and  con- 
sideration of  all  the  facts  by  the  Federal 
Trade  Commission,  a  body  instituted  by  Con- 
gress to  investigate  and  advise  in  such  matters. 

The  attitude  of  the  book-trade  as  presented 
to  the  Commission  on  November  ist,  191 7, 
was  and  still  is, 

1st,  That  unfair  methods  of  competition  in 
commerce  are  daily  and  publicly  practiced  by 
predatory   price-cutters. 

2nd,  That  competition  is  lessened  by  the 
ruination  of  producer  and  seller  alike,  and 
the  millions  of  people  dependent  upon  them 
by  predatory  price-cutting,  and   further. 

That  a  monopoly  is  established  by  predatory 
price-cutters  who  maike  their  own  cut  prices 
and  defy  anyone  to  sell  at  such  price  or  below, 
under  the  implied  and  direct  threat  of  a  price 
reduction  war  to  the  limit.  They  may  sell  as 
much  higher  as  they  please. 

I  claim,  and  that  it  is  easily  provable,  that 
under  Section  5  of  the  Federal  Trade  Commis- 
sion Act  and  Section  2, 


May  20,  1922 


1417 


That  the  above  methods  of  competition  in 
commerce  are  unlawful,  prohibitive  and  mon- 
opolistic. 

In  the  absence  of  the  enforcement  of  these 
legal  provisions,  we  are  asking  for  the  passage 
of  the  Stephens-Kelly  Bill  for  Price  Standard- 
ization and  the  prevention  of  price-cutting 
monopoly,  for  the  Supreme  Court  has  made 
it  clear  that  in  the  present  state  of  the  law 
the  maintenance  of  a  resale  price  by  a  producer 
is  unlawful,  therefore  the  Stephens-Kelly  Bill 
is  vitally  important. 

The  Federal  Trade  Commission  again,  July 
1919,  filed  with  Congress  a  special  report,  re- 
newing its  previous  recommendation  to  Con- 
gress in  December,  191 8,  that  manufacturers 
be  permitted  by  law  to  fix  and  maintain  resale 
prices  subject  to  review  by  official  authority. 

The  Commission  further  states  that  such  a 
law  would  remove  present  complexity  in  the 
business  world,  promote  the  efficiency  of  manu- 
facturing and  commercial  institutions  and  serve 
the  interest  of  the  consuming  public. 

There  must  be  a  common  ground,  the  Com- 
mission said,  wherein  the  rights  of  producer, 
purveyor  and  consumer  may  each  be  fully 
secured  and  equity  done  to  all.  The  search 
for  such  a  ground  has  been  a  task  of  the  Com- 
mission. 

All  this  was  virtually  said  December,  1918, 
and  July,  1919,  and  presented  to  Congress.  It 
has  had  both  these  decisions,  and  the  Stephens- 
Kelly  Bill  and  nothing  has  been  done.  What 
is  the  matter  with  Congress? 

Some  of  you  may  know  of  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  of  the  United  States  of  America 
with  headquarters  in  Washington.  Few  of 
you  know  or  realize  its  great  power  and  in- 
fluence with  its  ramifications  in  every  state  of 
the  Union.  Eivery  class  of  commercial  in- 
dustry is  associated  with  it.  Many  important 
matters  of  countrywide  importance  are  re- 
ferred to  it  for  consideration  and  advice  by 
the  government,  and  their  advice  and  sugges- 
tions often  accepted.  It  is  one  of  the  most 
powerful  Chambers  of  Commerce  in  the  coun- 
try. 

In  the  same  period  here  mentioned,  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce,  by  a  series  of  referen- 
dum votes  thruout  its  membership,  considered 
the  question  of  price  standardization,  with 
the  result  of  a  big  vote  in  its  favor,  bringing 
a  favorable  report  of  their  committee  who 
in   conclusion   stated : 

"Your  Committee  is  convinced  that  legisla- 
tion permitting  the  maintenance  of  resale 
prices,  under  proper  restriction  on  identified 
merchandise,  for  voluntary  purchase,  made 
and  sold  under  competitive  conditions,  would 
be  to  the  best  interest  of  the  producer,  the 
distributor,  and  the  purchasing  public  or  con- 
sumer." 


I  trust  you  all  know  the  American  Fair 
Trade  League  which  stands  at  the  forefront  as 
a  dominant  leader  in  the  fight  for  fair  trad- 
ing and  price  standardization.  It  has  fought 
this  fight  in  the  face  of  the  keenest  opposition, 
and  has  seen  the  movement  grow  from  small 
and  disheartening  conditions  till  to-day  there  is 
every  evidence  of  successful  achievement.  The 
men  composing  this  League  are  heads  of  some 
of  the  biggest  producing  and  selling  houses  of 
the  country,  who  have  heartily  endorsed  and 
sustained  the  labors  and  activities  of  their 
Secretary-Treasurer,  Edmund  A.  Whittier, 
upon  whom  all  of  the  work  has  devolved. 

For  some  years  he  has  worked  in  and  out 
of  Congress  with  leaders,  with  associations, 
and  in  order  to  be  near  the  seat  of  war  at 
all  times,  he  lives  most  of  his  time  in  Wash- 
ington. To  him  we  booksellers  owe  much, 
as  well  as  every  producer  and  seller  in  the 
country.  He  has  even  descended  from  his 
high  estate  to  give  his  able  support  and  assist- 
ance to  the  feeble  effort  made  by  the  speaker 
to  arouse  a  national  movement  for  price  main- 
tenance, using  the  book-trade  of  the  entire 
United    States    as    the   nucleus. 

What  Has   Been  Done  in  the  Name  of  the 
Book-Trade 

A  leading  bookseller  in  every  state  was 
selected,  and  to  him  were  sent  samples  of 
the  propaganda,  with  the  request  that  he  repro- 
duce them  and  spread  them  broadcast,  thruout 
his  state,  by  using  all  the  other  booksellers 
therein  to  reach  all  the  other  producers  and 
sellers  they  could,  enlisting  their  active  sup- 
port in  favor  of  price  standardization.  This 
has  been  well  done  in  New  York  State,  Penn- 
sylvania and  Illinois.  This  effort  is  to  be  con- 
tinued until  the  Kelly  Bill  is  passed. 

In  addition,  the  American  Fair  Trade 
League  has  sent  out  to  hundreds  of  big  pro- 
ducers and  merchants  the  country  over,  the 
propaganda  of  the  booksellers  and  their  own 
propaganda  to  which  many  of  those  organiza- 
tions have  replied  offering  their  hearty  sup- 
port. 

Now  I  want  to  read  you  from  an  adver- 
tisement which  appeared  in  the  New  York 
Times  of  April  19,  1922,  a  full  page  of  the 
Federal    Advertising    Agency    of    New    York. 

[Mr.  Butler  then  read  the  text  of  the  ad- 
vertisement which  called  on  merchants  and 
manufacturers  to  stop  plunder  merchandis- 
ing, a  short-sighted  policy  of  creating  ficti- 
tious bargains  to  the  ultimate  damage  of  sound 
selling.] 

Now,  just  to  give  you  an  idea  of  what  our 
price-cutting  friends  indulge  in  to  make  their 
success,  I  am  going  to  read  you  a  few 
lines  giving  the  various  standardized  goods 
that    have   been    sold    and    exploited   within   a

bear  in  mind  that  as  the  method  adopted  by 
the  City  of  New  York  in  prices,  especially 
along  cut  lines,  is  generally  followed  elsewhere

to  get  them  to  support  the  passage  of  this  bill.

President  Here:  We  will  have  the  privi- 
lege at  this  time  of  hearing  a  nationally- 
known  man  on  this  important  subject  of 
Price    Standardization. 


Price  Standardization 
By  the  Honorable  Joseph  E.  Davies 

Forrmr  Commissioner  of   Corporations  and   Chairman   of  the  Federal   Trade   Commission. 
-        and   now    General    Counsel    of    the    American   Fair  Trade  League. 


1AM  pleased  to  have  this  opportunity  of 
addressing  you  upon  this  very  interesting 
and  important  subject.  By  reason  of  my 
experience  as  an  official  of  the  Government  of 
the  United  States,  I  presume  that  I  have 
had  the  benefit  of  the  slant  of  the 
public  official  view  upon  questions,  and  in 
that  connection  I  wish  to  say  that  the  pro- 
ponents of  Price  Standardization  have  given 
evidence  in  a  very  practical  way,  of  their  ap- 
preciation that  the  public  interest  is  paramount 
to  their  individual  selfish  interests  in  this  situa- 
tion, and  to  a  very  remarkable  degree  the  pro- 
ponents of  this  idea  have  evidenced  a  largeness 
Of  mind  and  a  broadness  of  vision  and  a  high 
character  of  purpose  that  reflects  distinct 
credit  upon  them  as  citizens  as  well  as  people 
who  are  interested  in  fair  trade. 

'  1  siy  that  for  this  reason :  You  will  no- 
tice that  the  qualification  of  the  Federal  Trade 
Commission  in  its  endorsement  of  this  idea 
is  that  there  shall  be  public  or  official  scrutiny 
of  prices  made  by  manufacturers  upon  goods 
that  are  price  maintained.  The  object  of  that, 
of  course,  is  very  clear  and  very  obvious. 
Undoubtedly,,  what  public  officials  would  na- 
turally have  in  mind  would  be  the  fact  that 
national  advertising  might  create  so  great  a 
demand  for  nationally  advertised  trade-marked 
goods  as  to  enable  the  manufacturer  of  those 
goods  to  charge  a  price  which  the  public 
would  have  to  pay  and  which  the  law  would 
sustain  in  excess  of  what  would  be  a  reason- 
able and  a   fair  price   for  that  commodity. 

•  And  because  public  officials  are  thinking 
tin  terms  of  the  public  interest,  not  only  as 
to  what  is  beneficial  for  manufacturers  and 
distributors,  but  as  well  what  is  to  the  inter- 
est  of  the  consumer,   undoubtedly  that  quali- 


fying endorsement  was  placed  in  the  recom- 
mendations of  the  Federal  Trade  Commis- 
sion, arid  the  significant  part  of  that  situa- 
tion is  that  the  proponents  of  this  idea  rec- 
ognized it,  seized  it  and  embodied  it  as  a 
part  of  their  plan,  thus  giving  concrete  and 
positive  proof  that  they  were  concerned  in 
this  enterprise,  not  because  of  selfish  purposes 
primarily,  but  with  a  very  high  sense  of  their 
duty  and  their  obligation  to  the  public.  And 
the  Stephens-Kelly  Bill  embodies  just  such 
protection ;  and  there  is  nothing  in  the  Ste- 
phens-Kelly Bill,  and  there  is  nothing  in  this 
idea  of  Price  Standardization  which  any  pub- 
lic-minded man  thinking  in  terms  of  the 
public  can  possibly  take  exception  to.  It  is 
honest,  it  is  straight,  it  is  in  the  interest  of  the 
public  and  it  is  in  the  interest  of  honest  manu- 
facturers and  honest  distributors,  and  in  my 
opinion,  in  the  interest  of  society  itself. 

Those  of  us  who  have  given  close  study  to 
the  merchandising  problem  and  to  the  place 
of  the  standard  price  in  the  distributing  sys- 
tem, find  it  difficult  to  reconcile  the  recent 
developments  of  the  law  with  the  best  inter- 
ests of  the  public.  We  see  the  building  up  of 
standards  of  quality,  the  establishment  of  hon- 
est faithful  production,  the  consequent  estab- 
lishment of  a  proper  and  valuable  good-will, 
and  we  see  the  tearing  down  of  the  good-will 
thus  established  thru  years  of  faithful  effort, 
by  trade  pirates,  who  steal  this  property  of  the 
producer  for  dishonorable  exploitation.  And 
iuring  the  past  decade  we  have  seen  the  build- 
ing up  of  a  body  of  law,  which  protects  the 
thief  and  renders  the  honest  quality  producer 
helpless  to  protect  that  which  is  his  own. 

You  gentlemen  will  recall  that  in  your  trade 
you  were  first  confronted  with  this  trend  of 


May  20,  1922

the  law  in  1908,  when  the  Supreme  Court,  in 
the  case  of  Bobbs-Merrill  Company  vs. 
Straus,  held  that  the  copyright  monopoly 
does  not  include  the  right  to  impose,  by 
notice,  a  limitation  upon  the  price  at  which 
a  copyrighted  book  may  be  resold. 

In  191 1,  the  Supreme  Court,  in  the  case  of 
Dr.  Miles  Medical  Company  vs.  John  D. 
Park  and  Sons  Company,  held  that  resale 
price  maintenance  contracts  were  in  restraint 
of  trade  and  unlawful,  in  violation  of  the 
Sherman  Law.  Then  came  the  so-called  Sana- 
togen  case,  (Bauer  &  Cie  vs.  O'Donnell)  in 
which  the  Supreme  Court  in  a  five  to  four 
decision  held  that  a  notice  on  a  patented  prep- 
aration licensing  resale  at  no  less  than  a 
designated  price,  and  warning  that  a  sale  at 
a  less  price  would  constitute  patent  infringe- 
ment, was  without  effect,  and  that  sales  at 
less  prices  than  those  designated  would  not 
constitute  a  patent  infringement.  Following 
that  ca«e  in  1913,  in  the  case  of  Straus  vs. 
American  Publishers'  Association,  the  Su- 
preme Court  extended  the  principle  laid 
down  in  the  Bobbs-Merrill  Case,  by  holding 
that  resale  price  maintenance  contracts  on 
copyrighted  books  were  unlawful  under  the 
Sherman  Act. 

The   Right   to   Refuse   to  Sell 

The    results    of    all    these    decisions    up    to 
this    point   were   to    make    it   impossible    for 
manufacturers     to      protect      their     good-will, 
and  the  right  to  see  that  all  consumers  were 
able  to  purchase  their   products   at  the   same 
price,    either  by  use  of   patent,   or    copyright 
notices,    or    by    contracts    with    distributors. 
The  outcome  of  this  situation  was  to  compel 
the    manufacturers    of    identified    merchandise 
to    resort    to   what   they   considered   their   un- 
doubted rights  of  refusal  to  sell,  in  order  to 
protect  the  good-will  of  their  products.    The 
right    to    refuse   to    sell    to   price-cutters    was 
indeed   upheld   by  the   Supreme   Court   in   the 
Colgate    Case,    but,    as    you    know,    the    later 
decisions   have   so   developed   as   to   make   this 
a  bare  right,  difficult  of  practical  application. 
The      first      limitation      appeared      in      the 
Schrader   Case,   which  not  only   reaffirmed  the 
Dr.    Miles    Medical    Case,   as   to  the   illegality 
or    express    price    maintenance    contracts,    but 
also    suggested    by     way     of     dicta,     that     an 
implied    contract    to    maintain    prices    is     also 
within  the  ban  of  the  law.     This  immediately 
suggested    to    many    of    us   the   possibility    of, 
courts    finding  that   a   manufacturer,    who  re- 
fused  to   sell   to   those   who   did   not   maintain 
suggested  prices,  entered  into  an  implied  con- 
tract with  every  distributor,  who  knew  of  the 
policy  and  purchased  goods  with  that  knowl- 
edge, and  the  intent  to  maintain  the  suggested 
prices,    and.    in    fact,    carried    out    the    intent. 


had  entered  into  an  implied  contract  to  sell  at 
the  suggested  resale  price,  in  violation  of  the 
law  as  interpreted  by  the  Supreme  Court. 

This  possibility  was  indeed  strengthened  by 
the  subsequent  decision  of  the  Cudahy  Case 
(Frey  and  Son  vs.  Cudahy  Packing  Company) 
which  held  that  the  Circuit  Court  of  Ap- 
peals, was  in  error  in  holding  that  the  trial 
judge  should  have  instructed  a  verdict  for 
the  defendant  on  the  grounds  that  there  was 
no  showing  of  an  express  contract,  and  stated

that  "the  essential  agreement,  combination  or 
conspiracy,  might  be  implied  from  course  of 
dealing    or   other    circumstances." 

Then  came  the  recent  Beechnut  decision 
(Federal  Trade  Commission  vs.  Beechnut 
Packing  Company)  in  which  a  still  further 
limitation  was  established.  In  that  case  the 
Court  held  that  the  resale  price  maintenance 
system,  being  contrary  to  public  policy,  un- 
der the  Dr.  Miles  Case  and  subsequent  deci- 
sions, constitutes  an  unfair  method  of  com- 
petition, in  violation  of  the  Federal  Trade 
Commission  Act,  for  a  company  to  create  and 
maintain  a  system  of  resale  price  mainte- 
nance, by  cooperation  with  dealers,  or  others 
even    tho   no   agreement,   express   or    impl'cd.

exists  between  the  manufacturer  and  the  dis- 
tributor. It  condemns  the  carrying  into  ef- 
fect, by  cooperative  methods,  a  system  by 
which  the  manufacturer,  distributor,  cus- 
tomer and  agent,  undertake  to  prevent  others 
from  selling  the  manufacturer's  product,  at 
less   than  a  designated   price. 

Thus  you  see  the  progress— first,  an  express 
contract  was  held  to  be  unlawful,  then  an 
implied  contract  was  held  to  be  unlawful, 
and  then  a  system  of  seeking  by  cooperative 
means  to  maintain  a  resale  price  system  was 
held  to  be  unlawful. 

Co-operation  Forbidden 
In  effect  it  places  under  the  ban  of  the  law 
the  most  effective  methods  by  which  the 
manufacturer  may  protect  the  good-will  of  his 
product  by  refusal  to  sell.  The  most  effective 
if  not  the  only  practical  method,  by  which 
the  manufacturer  may  ascertain  who  is  de- 
moralizing his  products  by  price-cutting,  is 
by  securing  the  necessary  information  upon 
which  investigations  may  be  predicated  from 
other  distributors  in  the  trade.  While  this 
decision  leaves  to  the  manufacturer  the  bare 
right  to  refuse  to  sell,  he  is,  to  put  it  mildly, 
severely  handicapped  in  his  ability  to  secure 
the  necessary  information. 
•  For  instance,  what  sales  manager,  when  he 
ireceives  a  complaint  as  to  price  cutting,  could 
do  anything  unless  he  received  that  informa- 
tion from  some  person  in  the  trade  who  knew 
of  it?  When  he  acts  upon  that  information  re- 
ceived from  someone  in  the  trade  there  is 
danger  that  he  may  be  engaging  in  a  co- 
operative method  to  maintain  a  price  mainte- 
nance system  which  comes  under  the  ban  of 
the  law,  so  that  while  the  manufacturer  may 
have  the  right  to  refuse  to  sell,  the  means 
to  exercise  that  right,  the  use  of  a  coopera- 
tive method — and  almost  any  method  by  which 
he  would  receive  it  would  be  cooperative — is 
placed  under  the  ban  of  the  law,  and  conse- 
quently the  refusal  to  sell  is  a  bare  right. 

It  must  be  apparent,  therefore,  that  we 
can  now  only  protect  the  good-will  of  the 
manufacturer  of  identified  articles,  and  pro- 
tect the  public  from  the  unfair  practices  of 
predatory  price-cutters,  and  discrimination,  by 
changing  the  law  as  it  exists  today  thru 
remedial  legislation,  such  as  the  Stephens- 
Kelly  Bill  provides.  In  view  of  the  fact  that 
these  decisions  condemning  price  maintenance 
have  all  been  under  the  Sherman  Law  it 
might  give  rise  to  the  suggestion  that  to  at- 
tempt to  establish  a  price  maintenance  system 
is  an  attack  upon  the  principle  of  the  Sher- 
man Law.  That  is  untrue.  The  prin- 
ciple of  the  Stephens-Kelly  Bill  is  in  accord 
with  the  principle  of  the  Sherman  Law,  and 
is,    that     development     which     evolution     and 


society  require  to  preserve  the  Sherman  Law 
as  an  active  agency  for  the  protection  of 
the  society  and  the  competitive  order.  The 
Sherman  Law  was  enacted  for  the  purpose  of 
preserving  industrial  freedom  and  prevent- 
ing monopoly.  That  principle  we  all  sub- 
scribe to.  That  principle,  if  we  came  to  the 
knob  of  the  situation,  we  would  all  fight  for, 
because  the  monopolistic  order  of  society  in- 
evitaWy  leads  to  regulation,  inevitably  leads 
to  price  control,  and  within  a  generation  or 
two  would  inevitably  lead  to  state  ownership, 
which  means  state  socialism,  and  state  social- 
ism means  the  negation  of  individual  effort. 
It  means  an  oligarchy  of  brains,  then  an  oli- 
garchy of  power,  the  complete  denial  of  in- 
dividual rights  and  the  complete  destruction 
of  our  representative  form  of  Republican 
Government.  We  stand  unqualifiedly,  as  do  all 
thinking  men  of  all  political  parties  and  all 
publicists,  for  the  preservation  of  the  com- 
petitive order  and  for  the  principles  of  the 
Sherman  Law.  But  since  the  Sherman  Law 
was  enacted,  much  water  has  gone  over  the 
wheels.  We  have  found  that  the  law  must 
go  further  than  the  Sherman  Law  goes  in 
order  to  protect  society  from  monopoly,  that 
the  law  must  prevent  the  seeds  of  monopoly 
from  germinating.  It  was  for  this  purpose 
that  the  Federal  Trade  Commission  was 
created,  because  it  was  recognized  that  un- 
fair methods  of  competition  were  the  seeds 
of  monopoly  and  were  those  means  which 
were  employed  to  create  monopoly.  And  we 
maintain,  and  we  can  support  that  proposi- 
tion, that  selling  copyrighted,  honest  mer- 
chandise below  cost  and  at  less  than  a  fair 
price  is  an  unfair  method  of  competition  and 
is  therefore  within  the  ban*  of  the  law,  and 
is  entirely  consonant  with  the  principle  of 
the  Sherman  Law. 

Is  It  a  Necessary  Protection? 
We  find  ourselves,  therefore,  in  this  rather 
anomalous  situation,  that  under  the  strict 
language  of  the  Sherman  Law,  the  restraint 
of  trade  clause,  this  system  is  held  to  be  un- 
lawful by  any  means  projected.  We  find 
that  the  Federal  Trade  Commission,  as  a  mat- 
ter of  public  policy,  has  gone  on  record  in 
favor  of  this  system  as  a  means  of  prevent- 
ing an  unfair  method  of  competition.  But 
there  is  a  gap  in  the  law  between  the  Sher- 
man Law  and  the  Federal  Trade  Commis- 
sion Act.  There  remains  no  choice  for  the 
Federal  Trade  Commission  but  to  enforce 
the  law  as  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United 
States  has  declared  the  law  to  be  under  the 
Sherman  Law.  What  is  needed  to  secure  the 
adequate  relief  in  this  situation  is  additional 
legislation  which  the  Federal  Trade  Com- 
mission has  endorsed  and  approved  and  which 


May  20,  1922 

is  embodied  in  a  very  scientific  and  intelli- 
gent way  in  the  Stephens-Kelly  Bill. 

The  only  question,  then,  which  need  be  fur- 
ther discussed,  is  the  question  of  whether  or 
not  the  standard  price  system  is  in  fact  a 
necessary  protection  to  the  manufacturer  and 
the  public  and  within  the  public  interest. 

You  gentlemen,  who  are  engaged  in  the 
sale  of  books,  and  the  other  lines  of  mer- 
chandise customarily  sold  therewith,  have 
undoubtedly  learned  by  hard  experience,  the 
necessity  of  a  standard  price  system,  both  for 
the  protection  of  yourselves  and  for  the 
protection  of  the  public.  Most  of  you  have 
no  doubt  become  the  victims  of  unfair  com- 
petition of  some  department  store,  drug  store 
or  chain  store,  which  has  carried  a  line  of 
booiks  and  has  chosen  from  time  to  time  to 
cut  the  price  below  that  which  will  show  a 
reasonable  profit,  or  even  to  such  an  extent 
as  to  show  an  actual  loss.  You  have  seen 
these  stores  wilfully  cut  the  price  of  books 
for  purposes  destructive  of  competition  with 
the  sole  intent  of  making  up  their  loss  on  this 
merchandise  from  other  lines  to  which  they 
have  attracted  trade.  You  have  seen  such 
methods  absolutely  destroy  the  sale  of  particu- 
lar publications  in  your  community;  you 
have  seen  the  absolute  theft  of  the  property 
of  the  publisher  and  the  property  of  the 
author  by  such  methods;  you  have  seen  it 
destroy  your  own  property  right,  the  right 
to  compete  in  the  sale  of  books  and  publica- 
tions at  a  fair  and  reasonable  profit. 

I  To  Create  Permanent  Good  Will 

And  so  I  believe  that  it  is  unnecessary  for 
me  to  discuss  the  subject  further  from  your 
particular  point  of  view.  But  as  you  are 
the  advocates  of  the  standard  price  system, 
as  you  intend  to  take  this  problem  to  the  pub- 
lic and  thru  them  to  the  legislators, .  I  believe 
that  it  will  not  be  amiss  for  me  to  discuss 
this  problem  as  it  affects  the  merchandisers, 
producers  and  consuming  public  of  the  identi- 
fied article  as  a  whole  and  not  from  the 
standpoint  of  the  problem  as  it  confronts  you. 

It  will  be  my  purpose  to  try  to  sug- 
gest to  you  possibly  some  reason,  some  argu- 
ment, which  has  not  previously  been  called 
to  your  attention,  and  which  you  may  be  able 
to  use  effectively  in  this  campaign. 

The  manufacturer  of  unidentified  or  un- 
branded  merchandise  has  little  incentive  to 
produce  quality.  It  is  true,  of  course,  that  an 
article  of  quality  will  sell  more  readily  upon 
inspection  than  the  inferior  article,  particu- 
larly where  the  evidence  of  quality  is  ap- 
parent from  casual  examination.  But  unless 
the  article  be  branded  or  identified,  there  is 
no  means  by  which  its  quality  may  create  a 
permanent   good-will. 


1421 

Many  manufacturers  conceive  the  idea  that 
a  permanent  good-will  may  be  created  by  the 
branding  or  identifying  of  quality  products, 
the  putting  out  of  an  article  of  uniform 
quality,  under  a  certain  brand,  the  creation  of 
a  demand  for  the  article  and  the  consequent 
building  up  of  a  good-will  in  the  product. 

Public  Convinced  of  Profiteering 

The  producer  of  a  thing  of  quality  has  per- 
formed a  very  definite  service  for  the  public. 
He  has  placed  at  the  constant  disposal  of  the 
consuming  public  an  article  of  quality,  an 
article  of  uniform  quality.  The  consumer 
knows  that  this  article  has  a  definite  value- 
he  has  used  the  product  and  knows  it  is  what 
he  wants.  If  it  be  a  watch,  he  knows  from 
experience  or  the  experience  of  others,  that 
it  will  keep  time  and  perform  the  service 
which  he  desires;  if  it  be  an  automobile  tire, 
he  knows  from  past  experience  that  it  will 
give  him  the  desired  mileage  and  service. 

The  rnanufacturer  of  such  an  article  has, 
by  continued  quality  production,  created  a 
thing  of  value,  known  as  good-will.  In  this 
intangible  thing,  called  good-will,  he  has  a 
definite  and  established  property  right,  a  prop- 
erty right  recognized  by  the  law  and  the 
courts  of  justice.  If  another  attempts  to  steal 
that  good-will  by  passing  off  other  goods  as 
the  products  of  the  producer  who  owns  the 
good-will,  the  courts  will  prevent  such  action 
by  injunction,  the  Federal  Trade  Commis- 
sion will  order  him  who  attempts  to  make  use 
of  that  good-will  without  right,  to  cease  and 
desist  therefrom.  The  manufacturer  or  pro- 
ducer who  possesses  this  property  known  as 
good-wall,  has  the  legal  right  to  sell  and  as- 
sign it  as  he  may  sell  or  assign  any  other 
property,  or  property  right. 

Yet,  the  predatory  price-cutter,  under  the 
law  as  it  exists,  may  steal  and  destroy  this 
property  right  of  the  producer  or  manufac- 
turer, with  absolute  impunity,  and  he  may  do 
so  to  the  loss  and  damage,  not  only  of  the 
producer,  but  to  the  detriment  of  the  public. 
You  are  all  familiar  with  the  various  methods 
employed  by  the  predatory  price-cutter.  He 
selects  an  article  of  well-laiown  value  and 
quality,  an  article,  the  usual  price  of  which 
to  the  consumer  is  universally  known,  and  he 
makes  of  this  article  an  advertising  leader, 
thru  which  he  may  make  other  sales  at  a 
profit.  He  cleverly  advertises  or  displays  the 
identified  article  of  known  price  and  value, 
at  a  price  which'  means  to  him  on  that  article 
an  absolute  loss.  The  public  knows  its  value 
and  the  public  infers  exactly  what  the  price- 
cutter  intends  it  to  infer,  namely,  that  other 
articles  of  merchandise  sold  by  that  price- 
cutter    are    offered    at     proportionately     low

prices.  You,  gentlemen,  who  are  familiar 
with  merchandising,  know  that  this  inference 
must  be  false.  You  know  that  in  order  to 
make  up  a  definite  loss  on  one  article  of  mer- 
chandise, it  is  necessary  for  the  price-cutter 
to  make  his  profit  on  another.  But  thru  this 
method  the  price-cutter  accomplishes  a  def- 
inite deception  on  the  consuming  public.  He 
exploits  the  identified  article,  he  makes  it  im- 
passible for  his  competitors  to  sell  at  a  profit 
without  being  accused  of  profiteering  on  the 
product.  The  public  reasons  that,  of  course, 
if  Mr.  Price-cutter  can  sell  that  article  at  a 
certain  price,  his  competitors,  who  are  selling 
it  at  a  higher  price,  are  profiteering.  Thus 
the  price-cutter,  not  only  steals  the  good-will 
of  the  manufacturer,  but  he  also  steals  the 
good-will  of  his  competitor.  The  competitor 
must  discontinue  the  sale  of  the  product 
whereupon  the  price-cutter  loses  the  adver- 
tising value,  and  the  advantage  over  his  com- 
petitor, resulting  from  the  cut-price,  discon- 
tinues the  article  and   carries  the  exploitation

into  another  field.  The  sale  of  that  particular 
identified  product  is  killed  in  that  commun- 
ity. The  price-cutter  has  stolen  the  manu- 
facturer's good-will  and  the  good-will  of  his 
competitors  on  the  product. 


When  I  was  Chairman  of  the  Federal  Trade 
Commission,  a  large  number  of  manufactur- 
ers and  distributors  testified  before  that  body 
to  any  number  of  instances  where  this  condi- 
tion, as  I  have  outlined  it,  was  brought  about 
by  the  predatory  price-cutter.  Exactly  the 
same  end  as  that  accomplished  by  the 
price-cutter  who  employs  the  leader  sales 
method,  was  sought  a  few  years  ago  by 
certain  mail  order  grocery  concerns  in  the 
Middle  West.  These  concerns  sold  groceries 
in  combinations  only,  advertising  extensively 
in  rural  publications.  This  was  during  the 
period  of  sugar  shortage,  and  the  advertise- 
ments usually  carried  in  scare  heads  the  an- 
nouncement, "Sugar  3c  a  pound" — then  in 
smaller  type  it  was  explained  that  sugar  in 
certain  amounts  could  be  secured  at  3c  a 
pound,  when  purchased  in  combination  with 
other  articles.  Most  of  the  other  articles 
were  those  whose  values  in  the  quantities 
named  were  unknown  to  the  average  house- 
wife, but  when  the  whole  combination  was 
figured  up  investigation  showed  that  these 
mail  order  concerns  were  securing  for  the  en- 
lire  combination  a  price  no  lower,  and  in  many 
instances  more  than  would  be  charged  for  the 
same  products  by  the  average  "delivery  and 
credit"  grocery  store  in  the  section  in  which 
they  operated.  The  Federal  Trade  Com- 
mission discontinued  this  practice,  by  orders 
to  cease  and  desist.  That  body  recognized 
the  obvious  deception  in  this  method  of  mer- 
chandising, yet,  I  submit  to  you  that  these 
concerns  were  employing  exactly  the  same 
methods  as  those  employed  by  the  predatory 
price-cutter. 

Advantage   of   Standardized   Price 

The  situation  resulting  from  the  inability 
of  the  producer  to  control  resale  prices  also 
operates  to  the  disadvantage  of  the  public. 
The  producer,  by  establishing  uniform  resale 
prices,  attempts  to  prevent  discrimination  to 
the  consumer,  he  attempts  to  make  it  pos- 
sible for  the  consumer  in  every  locality  to 
get  the  same  value  at  the  same  price.  The 
consumer  likes  to  know  that  he  can  purchase 
an  identified  article,  the  value  of  which  he 
knows,  at  a  definite  price.  It  saves  him  the 
time  and  expense  of  shopping.  He  can  send 
his  office  boy  or  his  servant  to  the  store  to 
purchase  the  article  he  desires  in  the  knowl- 
edge that  it  can  be  purchased  at  a  definite 
price. 

In  addition  to  this  the  inability  of  the  pro- 
ducer to  establish  uniform  resale  prices  on 
identified  articles  tends  very  definitely  toward 
a  more  expensive  and  less  economic  system 
of  distribution,  which  in  the  end  must  lead 
to  higher  prices  to  the  consuming  public.  The 
large   manufacturer  knows    that    in    order   to 


May  20,   1922 

protect  his  good-will  and  prevent  discrimina- 
tion to  the  public,  he  must  by  some  means, 
if  possible,  accomplish  the  end  that  his  prod- 
uct may  be  purchased  at  one  price  by  all. 
If  uniform  prices  can  not  be  accomplished 
thru  the  jobber  and  retailer  method  of  distri- 
bution, he  must,  if  possible,  establish  his  own 
system  of  distribution.  Without  the  ability 
to  establish  uniform  resale  prices  thru  a  job- 
ber and  retailer,  the  tendency  is  inevitably  to- 
ward agency  distribution.  This  method  of 
distribution  means,  of  necessity,  destroying 
the  economies  resulting  from  the  distribution 
of  the  costs  of  selling  over  the  lines  of  hun- 
dreds, of  different  manufacturers. 

Agency  Distribution  Costly 

The  inevitable  tendency  toward  the  agency 
system  of  distribution,  as  opposed  to  the  job- 
ber and  retailer  system,  is  to  tend  to  eliminate 
the  competition  of  the  small  manufacturer  to 
the   obvious   detriment   of   the  public. 

The  small  manufacturer  cannot  finance  a 
system  of  national  distribution.  He  cannot 
finance  a  system  of  warehouses  or  a  system  of 
chain  store  distributors.  He  is  dependent 
upon  the  present  normal  method  which  evolu- 
tion has  developed  in  society  which  has  been 
called  for  by  necessity  and  by  experience.  He 
uses  the  jobber  and  the  retailer.  If  you  have 
a  large  group  of  small  manufacturers  or  a 
small  group  of  large  manufacturers  who  elim- 
inate the  wholesaler  and  the  jobber,  you 
have  very  nearly  established  a  system  of 
monopoly  in  production.  Further  than  that, 
you  have  destroyed  individual  opportun- 
ity, individual  initiative,  the  chance  which 
your  children  might  have  to  become  great  in 
distribution  by  reason  of  their  talents.  You 
have  gone  into  a  monopolistic  order  as  opposed 
to  the  competitive  order  in  that  particular  in- 
dustry. More  than  that,  you  destroy  the  very 
fiibre  and  the  best  spirit  of  our  community 
life.  When  you  destroy  the  independence  of 
the  merchants  of  the  small  community,  then 
you  have  gone  far  in  destroying  independent 
public  thought. 

The  small  manufacturer  is  patently  without 
the  means  to  maintain  a  system  of  agency  dis- 
tribution ;  yet,  in  the  case  where  the  large 
manufacturer  establishes  the  agency  system, 
the  small  producer  is  at  a  disadvantage,  by 
reason  of  his  inability  to  maintain  uniform 
resale  prices. 

In  addition  to  this,  the  existence  of  uniform 
resale  prices  is  to  the  benefit  of  the  public 
in  stabilizing  the  market.  I  have  not  the  time 
to  discuss  this  feature  of  the  situation  in  de- 
tail. I  can  only  say  to  you,  that  an  investiga- 
tion conducted  by  the  American  Fair  Trade 
League,  showed  that  during  the  abnormal  ad- 


1423 

vance  in  prices  of  the  war  period,  the  articles 
upon  which  uniform  resale  prices  were  main- 
tained, increased  in  a  remarkably  small  ratio 
to   the   increase  in   prices   generally. 

I  have  merely  tried  to  suggest  to  you  some 
of  the  reasons  for  the  maintenance  of  uniform

SENTATIVE       OF       THE       CANADIAN       BOOKSELLERS' 

ASSOCIATION   TO   THE   CONVENTION 

resale  prices.  The  standard  pricer  asks  only 
the  right  to  make  use  of  economic  jobber  and 
retailer  distribution,  without  danger  of  the 
theft  of  his  own  most  valuable  property,  his 
good-will.  He  advertises  his  product  so  that 
he  who  approves  its  quality  may  secure  it 
again  and  again.  He  acquaints  the  public  with 
its  value,  places  it  on  the  shelves  of  the  con- 
venient store,  and  desires  only  the  right  to 
say  to  all  "there  it  is  for  you  at  the  same 
price."  He  desires  the  right  to  make  use  of 
the  economies  of  the  distributing  agencies, 
who  divide  their  costs  over  hundreds  of  lines. 
He  wants  only  the  right  to  protect  those  dis- 
tributors from  the  unconscionable  price-cutter, 
who  uses  the  known  value  of  the  product  as 
a  l>ait  to  make  other  sales.  His  system  fosters 
competition  and  prevents  monopoly,  renders 
the  manufacturer's  competition  immediately  ef- 
fective to  the  consumer  and  stabilizes  prices  in 
cniorgency. 


1424 

The  standard-pricer  does  not  wish  to  destroy 
competition  between  manufacturers  of  Similar 
products,  he  does  not  wish  to  destroy  com- 
petition between  identified  and  unidentified 
products,  but  he  does  wish,  while  preserving 
the  benefits  of  competition  of  similar  articles, 
to  protect  the  public  against  discrimination  and 
deception. 

The  courts  have  recognized  that  good-will 
is  a  property  right,  which  should  be  protected, 
but  they  have  failed  to  see  that  the  mainte- 
nance of  uniform  resale  prices  is  essential  to 
the  protection  of  that  property  right.  The 
subject  has  been  passed  upon  repeatedly  by 
our  highest  court,  and  it  is  now  too  late  to 
quarrel  with  its  decisions.  Legislation  is  now 
the  only  remedy,  and  it  is  incumbent  upon 
everyone  of  us  to  do  his  part  in  making  the 
public    see    the    absolute    necessity    for    such

legislation.  We  must  go  to  the  public,  and  the 
public  must  demand  of  its  legislators  that  the 
situation  be  remedied. 

In  conclusion  I  wish  to  say  that  all  of  you 
who  are  interested  in  this  subject  owe  a  debt 
of  gratitude  to  Mr.  Butler  and  his  associates 
who  have  insistently  and  persistently  attempted 
to  educate  the  public  to  this  point  of  view. 
You  are  under  great  obligations  to  Mr.  Whit-

his  associates,  such  as  Mr.  Ingersoll  and  others. 
They  have  been  untiring  and  highly  intelligent 
in  their  efforts,  and  particularly  do  you  owe 
a  debt  of  obligation  to  some  of  the  public 
legislators  who  have  seen  this  economic  issue 
arise  and  who  have  taken  it  upon  themselves 
to  fight  your  battle.  I  refer  to  Mr.  Rogers, 
and  particularly  to  Mr.  Clyde  Kelly  of  Penn- 
sylvania. 


Price  Standardization 
By  Hon.  John  Jacob  Rogers 

Co- Author  of  the  Rogers-Lodge  Misbranding  Bill 


I  COME  here  this  morning  to  talk  very  briefly 
about  the  bill  which  is  numbered  H.  R.  i6 
in  the  present  Congress,  and  which  is  known 
as  the  Honest  Merchandise  Act  of  1922,  of 
which  I  happen  to  be  the  author  in  the  House. 

I  take  it  that  you  and  I  would  agree  upon 
this  premise — A  man  or  a  woman  has  a  right 
to  buy  what  he  wants  in  general  trade,  but 
he  has  a  right  not  to  be  lied  to  in  buying  it. 
When  I  say  he  has  a  right  to  buy  it,  I  shall 
have  to  accept  such  things  as  the  commodities 
included  in  the  Eighteenth  Amendment  (Laugh- 
ter) and  other  similar  commodities.  Perhaps 
he  has  the  right  to  buy  them  as  things  are 
now  going,  but  he  hasn't  the  legal  right  to 
buy  them.  I  want  to  elaborate  that  thought 
just  a  moment. 

I  have  a  right  to  buy  a  brass  watch  instead 
of  a  gold  watch,  buti  I  have  a  right  to  be  as- 
sured by  the  law,  it  seems  to  me,  that  I  shan't 
be  told  that  the  watch  which  I  am  buying  for 
gold  is  in  fact,  brass.  In  other  words,  we 
cannot  protect  the  person  and  we  ought  not  to 
protect  the  person  from  buying  an  inferior 
thing  whether  from  (X)nsiderations  of  price  or 
taste,  or  whatever  it  may  be.  The  purchasing 
public  has  a  right  to  buy  a  thing  that  is  less 
perfect  than  the  one  hundred  percent  perfect, 
but  the  purchasing  public  ought  to  be  protected 
against  untruths  in  the  commodity  in  which 
it  is  investing.  It  ought  to  be  protected  against 
being  told  that  the  brass  watch  is  gold,  that 
the  cotton  umbrella  is  silk,  that  the  piece  of 
dress  goods  is  something  other  than  what  it 
in  fact  is,  that  the  pair  of  shoes  is  pure  leather 
when   in   fact   it   is  made  up   very  largely  of 


some  derivative  of  paper,  and  that  is  the  theory 
upon  which  the  pending  legislation  goes — that 
the  public  must  not  be  lied  to  by  dishonest 
business  men  and  manufacturers. 

We  have  abundant  precedence  for  this  sort 
of  legislation  both  on  this  side  of  the  ocean 
and  across  the  sea.  For  thirty-five  years  ex- 
actly, the  British  purchasing  public  has  been 
protected  by  a  law  which  is  called  "The 
British  Merchandise  Marks  Act,"  that  goes  on 
the  precise  theory  which  I  have  just  announced; 
namely,  that  it  is  not  fair  trade  to  lie  to  your 
customer  as  to  the  nature  of  the  commodity 
which  he  seeks  to  purchase.  That  law  has 
worked  extraordinarily  well  in  Great  Britain. 

It  has  had  a  very  direct  effect  in  two  re- 
spects. In  the  first  place,  it  has  promoted  the 
confidence  of  the  purchasing  public,  so  that 
they  have  been  more  ready  to  purchase;  and  in 
the  second  place,  it  has  promoted  the  well  be- 
ing of  the  honest  and  reputable  manufacturer 
in  protecting  him  against  the  sharks  of  the 
industry  who  seek  to  prey  upon  the  representa- 
tion that  he  has  built  up  thru  fair  dealing, 
so  that  both  from  the  standpoint  of  the  manu- 
facturer, the  merchant,  and  the  consuming  pub- 
lic there  can  be  no  doubt  that  the  British  Mer- 
chandise Marks  Act  has  evidenced  a  tremen- 
dous advancement  in  business  fair  dealing,  and 
in  fact,  in  business  prosperity  as  well. 

In  1906  there  came  to  a  head  a  campaign 
against  dishonest  foodstuffs  in  this  country, 
dishonest  patent  medicines,  dishonest  food- 
stuffs and  similar  articles,  which  I  may  roughly 
characterize  as  things  which  we  take  into  our 
mouths.     Tlie  combination  of  that  great  cam- 


May  20,  1922 

paign— and  it  was  a  long  campaign  because 
it  was  impeded  by  those  who  saw  their  own 
selfish  interests  likely  to  be  endangered— was 
the  enactment  by  Congress  in  1906  of  the 
Pure  Food  and  Drugs  Law.  That  has  been 
on  the  statute  books  now,  you  see,  for  over 
fifteen  years.  It  is  just  as  much  a  part  of 
our  body  politic  today  as  the  Interstate  Com- 
merce Commission. 

No  one,  I  think,  in  his  right  mind,  would 
suggest  returning  to  the  old  days  when  any 
manufacturer  of  foodstuffs  or  patent  medicines 
could  say  what  he  liked  upon  the  label  or  upon 
the  container  as  to  the  contents  of  the  bottles 
or  the  boxes  or  the  parcels  or  whatever  the 
container  was. 

And  so  the  question  has  presented  itself  to 
mean  since  that  time  whether  a  principle  that 
had  worked  so  extremely  well  both  from  the 
standpoint  of  the  seller  and  from  the  stand- 
point of  the  buyer  couldn't  advantageously  be 
extended  in  principle. 

Thoughtful  men  and  women  have  recently 
been  asking  themselves  why,  if  it  wasn't  law- 
ful to  tell  a  lie  about  a  package  of  breakfast 
food  it  was  lawful  to  tell  a  He  about  a  pair 
of  shoes  or  a  piece  of  cloth;  the  law  which 
I  am  here  to  discuss  briefly  with  you  this 
morning  is  the  result. 

Truth  in  Fabric  Legislation 

In  substance,  however,  the  proposed  law 
provides  that  it  shall  be  a  crime  to  transport 
from  state  to  state,  or  to  sell  in  the  District 
of  Columbia  or  in  the  territories  any  article 
which  is  misbranded  or  misrepresented,  or  to 
which  any  false  trade  description  has  been 
applied.  Then  it  goes  on  to  define  with  ex- 
traordinary minutiae  the  definitions  of  mis- 
branding, of  misrepresentation  and  of  false 
trade  descriptions.  It  imposes  severe  penal- 
ties, it  puts  the  enforcement  of  the  Act  into 
the  hands  of  the  Secretary  of  Commerce,  the 
Secretary  of  Agriculture  and  the  Secretary 
of  the  Treasury  jointly.  It  has  about  four- 
teen pages  in  its  entire  length,  but  the  prin- 
ciple, as  I  say,  is  simple  and  clear,  and  as 
I  think,  manifestly  sound. 

Now,  what  is  the  practical  status  of  this 
measure?  I  have  had  a  measure  of  this  kind 
before  the  House  of  Representatives  for  some 
years,  and  about  two  years  ago  we  had  exten- 
sive hearings  upon  the  subject.  This  has  been 
our  difficulty,  that  there  has  been  another 
kind  of  legislation  on  which  there  has  been  a 
very  bitter  controversy.  People  have  been  ut- 
terly unable  to  agree  on  the  wisdom  or  un- 
wisdom of  this  other  kind  of  legislation, 
which,  as  I  shall  show  you  in  a  moment,  is 
nevertheless  somewhat  related  in  the  general 
subject  matter  to  my  own.  That  is  what  is 
known  as  the  Truth  in  Fabric  Legislation.  The 


1425 

Truth  in  Fabric  Legislation  in  effect  provides 
that  as  far  as  woolen  goods  are  concerned, 
every  yard  of  material  sold  shall  state  v/hat  the 
content  of  pure  wool  and  what  the  content  of  so- 
called  shoddy  may  be  in  the  particular  case. 
There  has,  as  I  say,  been  an  extremely  bitter 
controversy  over  the  merits— but  I  am  not  pro- 
posing to  deal  with  that  question  to-day.  Un- 
doubtedly that  controversy  has  been  respon- 
sible in  large  measure  for  the  delay  in  enact- 
ing honest  merchandfse  legislation  of  the 
kind  which   I  have  described. 

Minimum  Burden  on  Honest  Business 

In  my  judgment,  any  person  who  ventured 
to  controvert  the  principles  of  the  honest  mer- 
chandise legislation  would  pretty  nearly  estab- 
lish his  belief  in  corrupt  practices  in  business, 
but  that  same  question— and  I  won't  take  the 
time  to  explain  why — ^that  same  question,  that 
same  simplicity  of  treatment  cannot  be  ac- 
corded the  Truth  in  Fabric  Legislation,  and  it 
is  because  those  two  subjects  have  been 
deemed  to  be  interlocked  that  we  have  seen 
this  long,  and  I  think,  inexcusable  delay  in 
dealing  with  the  subject  in   Congress. 

I  should  like  to  close  by  giving  you,  in  a 
very  brief  way,  a  summary  in  favor  of  the 
Misbranding  Legislation.  This  law  strikes 
directly  at  misbranding  and  misrepresentation 
of  all  kinds  in  connection  with  all  commodities 
instead  of  attacking  the  problem  in  a  piece- 
meal manner,  by  confining  its  operations  to 
the  textile  field.  This  law  is  based  upon  a 
sound  legal  principle  thoroly  tested  in  the 
form  of  the  British  Merchandise  Marks  Act, 
which,  as  I  say,  has  been  in  effect  for  thirty- 
five  years,  and  it  also  has  borne  the  test  of  the 
approval  of  the  courts  and  of  public  opinion 
generally  in  connection  with  the  two  laws 
which   I  have  mentioned   in  our  own  country. 

This  proposal  puts  a  minimum  of  burden 
upon  honest  business,  while  at  the  same  time 
it  secures  a  maximum  of  protection  to  the 
public  against  dishonestly  conducted  business. 
It  provides  a  method  for  bringing  promptly 
upon  dishonest  business,  heavy  penalties  for  a 
clearly  defined  type  of  misdemeanor  It  puts 
all  misbranding  and  all  misrepresenting  prac- 
tices outside  of  the  law.  It  is  simple  in  its 
terms,  it  is  easy  to  enforce,  and  it  would  re- 
sult in  no  increase  in  the  prices  of  the  com- 
modities  covered. 

To  my  mind,  one  of  the  important  elements 
in  this  bill  is  tliat  last  point,  that  it  is  simple 
to  enforce  and  that  it  doesn't  hamper 
business.  Nobody  has  to  worry  alx)ut  whether 
he  is  going  to  get  in  trouble  or  not  as  long 
as  he  is  doing  business  honestly.  It  would  be 
perhaps  difficult  to  say  what  percentage  of 
the  business  men  of  America  are  dishonest, 
what  percentage  of  men  would  do  even  a  shady 


[426 


The  Publishers'   Weekly 


thing  in  order  to  promote  their  business.  I 
should  say  that  the  proportion  would  not  be 
over*  five  per  cent,  and  it  might  not  be  over 
two  per  cent.  The  other  ninety-five,  or 
ninety-eight  per  cent,  isn't  going  to  be  in  the 
least  afflicted  or  annoyed  or  even  conscious  of 
the  fact  that  this  law  is  in  operation.  It  is 
just  going  to  be  the  sharpers  who  now  have  a 


representing  is  dishonest,  we  will  have  taken 
a  long  step  lin  the  way  of  protecting  first,  the 
consuming  public,  and  second,  the  honest  man- 
ufacturer who  is  ninety-five  or  ninety-eight 
iper  cent,  of  all  the  manufacturers  of  the 
country. 

I  am  aware  that  perhaps  this  particular  type 
of  legislation  doesn't  have  the  direct  connec- 


DELEGATES   FILING  THRU  THE  NEW  AMPHITHEATER  AT  ARLINGTON,  ON  THE  THURSDAY  TRIP 


fairly  complete  immunity  provided  they  know- 
how  to  skate  outside  the  present  criminal  law. 
There  are,  of  course,  certain  practices  in  busi- 
ness which  can  be  reached  thru  the  criminal 
laws  to-day.  Outright  dishonesty  can  be 
reached. 

There  are  other  practices  which  can  be  ap- 
pealed to  thru  the  medium  of  the  Federal 
Trade  Commission,  thru  the  medium  of  the 
Patent  Office  or  thru  the  medium  of  the  Civil 
Courts,  but  all  those  processes  are  slow  and 
expensive,  unsatisfactory,  and  at  best  un- 
certain. 

If  we  can  put  on  the  statute  books  a  crim- 
inal law  that  says  that   misbranding  or  mis- 


tion  with  your  industry  that  it  does  with 
others.  I  hesitated  somewhat  for  this  reason 
to  come  before  this  convention  this  morning 
and  to  take  your  time,  but  in  the  larger  sense 
everybody  is  interested,  I  think,  in  this  type  of 
legislation ;  everybody  wants  to  see  business 
honest,  and  everybody  wants  to  go  as  far  as 
possible  in  protecting  the  public  against  fraud. 
That  is  what  this  bill  does  and  it  is  all  that 
it  does. 

I  hope  this  convention  will  see  its  way  clear 
to  assist  us  in  putting  this  bill  across  and  mak- 
ing it  a  part  of  the  law  of  the  land. 

(Applause.)

Afternoon  Session — Tuesday,  May  9th 

The  meeting  was  called  to  order  at  2  :25  P.  M.,  by  President  Herr 


President  Herr  :  The  morning  session  was 
probably  one  of  the  most  interesting  that  this 
association  has  had  in  many  years.  The  key- 
note of  Price  Standardization  was  struck, 
and  you  heard  one  of  the  most  magnificent 
presentations  of  the  argument  from  the  legal 
and  public  welfare  standpoint. 


We  are  to  have  the  pleasure  this  afternoon 
of  hearing  from  the  sponsor  of  the  present 
House  bill  to  legalize  Price  Standardization. 
It  gives  me  great  pleasure  to  introduce  the 
Hon.  M.  Clyde  Kelly,  who  is  a  fellow  Penn- 
sylvanian. 

(Applause.) 


Price  Standardization 
By  Hon.  M.  Clyde  Kelly 

Congressman  from  Pennsylvania,  Co-Author  of  the  Stephens-Kelly  Bill. 


I  AM  sure  I  appreciate  this  kindly  introduc- 
tion very  much.     I  appreciate  it  more  than 

an  introduction  which  I  received  a  few  weeks 
ago  when  the  Chairman  called  upon  the 
crowd  to  witness  that  "he  took  great  pleasure 
in  introducing  Congressman  Kelly  who'  comes 
from  Pittsburgh  where  they  make  iron  and 
steel  for  a  living"  and  I  had  to  spend  more 
than  my  time  convincing  the  audience  that  we 
don't  all  steal  for  a  living  in  Pittsburgh. 

I  am  very  glad  to  be  here  and  to  talk  over 
with  you  the  vital  issues  involved  in  this  ques- 
tion. The  man  or  woman  who  doesn't  under- 
stand something  of  the  philosophy  that  is  in- 
volved in  this  question  to-day,  seems  to  me  to 
be  very  ignorant,  indeed. 

It  is  ignorance  not  to  know  that  there  are 
in  America  two  great  forces  fighting  against 
each  other  just  as  they  always  have  down 
the  history  of -the  world.  On  one  side  is  the 
law  of  the  jungle,  on  the  other  side  is  the 
law  of  brotherhood,  the  law  of  the  golden 
rule.  On  one  side  stands  a  kind  ot  cut-throat 
idea  of  Ishmael,  of  every  man  for  himself 
and  the  devil  take  the  hindmost;  and  on  the 
other  a  philosophy  that  we  are  inter- 
dependent, that  we  are  united  and  there  is 
none  of  this  law  of  each  man  for  himself. 

America  has  always  stood  in  the  eyes  of 
the  world  for  the  idea  of  brotherhood,  for 
co-operation.  I  wish  T  had  time  to  tell  you 
about  a  trip  I  made  in  Europe  two  months 
after  the  armistice  was  signed,  how  I  went 
down  thru  southeastern  Europe,  stricken  and 
war-ravaged,  into  the  villages  of  Jugo-Slavia 
and  Roumania,  and  found  in  the  heart  of  all 
a  desire  to  be  like  America,  whether  they  un- 
derstood what  we  are  over  here  or  not. 

On  the  first  day  of  May,  1919,  I  was  in  the 
little  city  of  Lubania,  away  up  in  the  Haps- 
burg  Empire.  For  the  first  time  in  their 
lives  they  were  having  a   May   day   celebra- 


tion, a  kind  of  Labor  Day.  For  five  hundred 
years  they  had  been  under  the  talons  of  the 
double  black  eagle  of  Austria. 

I  had  landed  in  that  little  city  the  night 
before.  In  the  morning  I  found  the  dining- 
room  locked.  I  didn't  understand  why,  and 
went  out  into  the  street.  I  went  past  twenty- 
four  restaurants  and  cafes  and  eating  houses 
to  find  them  all  locked  tight.  I  went  without 
a  bite  to  eat  until  two  in  the  afternoon. 
Then  I  went  up  to  the  Burgomaster's  office. 
I  was  to  have  an  interview  with  him  which 
had  been  arranged  before,  and  I  said  to  him, 
"Why  in  the  world  do  you  have  all  these 
eating  houses  closed  on  a  great  holiday  like 
this,  with  crowds  in  the  streets  and  parks?" 
He  looked  at  me  in  astonishment  and  said. 
"We  are  doing  that  in  Lubania  on  a  holiday 
because  that  is  the  way  you  do  it  over  in 
America."  I  said  to  him,  "My  friend,  some- 
body has  given  you  the  wrong  information. 
We  don't  do  anything  of  the  kind  in  America." 
And  I  went  without  a  bite  to  eat  all  day  be- 
cause they  thought  that  was  the  way  we  did  in 
America. 

Well,  they  will  do  anything  reasonable  and 
unreasonable  to  be  like  us.  The  villagers  in 
those  Serbian  villages  told  me  that  America 
was  like  an  angel  in  the  sky  to  them  because 
she  had  the  idea  of  the  helping  hand,  the  idea 
of  brotherhood;  it  is  the  one  hope  of  those 
nations. 

They  are  mistaken,  of  course.  We 
haven't  done  what  they  think  we  have.  I 
might  have  gone  to  the  old  peasants  in  Mace- 
donia, who  were  praying  to  .Mmighty  God 
with  their  eyes  fixed  on  little  American  flags 
as  a  syml>ol  of  divinity — and  I  might  have 
told  them  they  were  wrong,  that  over  here 
we  have  injustice  in  many  places.  That  here 
we  have  slum  districts  where  little  children 
grow  up  to  vice  and  crime  as  certain  as  the 


sunrise;  that  here  we  have  great  battles  be- 
tween capital  and  labor  because  we  cannot 
have  conferences  and  mutual  councils  or 
peaceful  settlements  of  the  disputes. 

But  I  didn't  tell  them  anything  of  the  kind. 
I  wanted  them  to  feel  that  in  some  way  or 
another  in  the  midst  of  the  darkness  they 
might  see  the  light  with  America  embodied 
as  a  light-bearer  to  the  world. 

America  has  been  swinging  along  first  with 
the  idea  of  the  pioneer.  She  was  a  pioneer 
nation.  Every  man  went  out  into  the  forest 
to  take  care  of  himself,  not  asking  for  any 
policeman  to  guard  him  or  give  him  the 
power  of  the  law;  he  took  care  of  himself. 
Those  were  the  days  when  the  wilderness 
was  king  but  the  wilderness  was  conquered. 
We  went  to  the  far  coast.  We  came  back 
on  ourselves  and  before  long  we  found  our 
San  Franciscos  and  our  Chicagos  and  our 
Pittsburghs  and  our  New  Yorks  with  their 
populations  of  millions,  and  we  began  to  find 
that  it  wouldn't  do,  that  this  law  of  Ishmae^ 
will  not  serve  the  twentieth  century. 

Business  Discovered  America 
The  Declaration  of  Independence,  charter 
of  Americanism,  is  a  slogan  of  brotherhood, 
because  the  most  important  thing  about  that 
declaration  is  not  that  we  separated  our- 
selves from  the  mother  country,  or  said  it 
possessed  an  unjust  form  of  government — the 
most  important  thing  aabout  the  declara- 
tion is  the  phrase  with  which  it  closes,  the 
fathers  signing  their  names  to  this  state- 
ment—"In  support  of  this  declaration  we 
mutually  pledge  to  each  other  our  lives,  our 
fortunes  and  our  sacred  honor." 

We  have  come  down  one  hundred  and  forty 
or  more  years  from  that  day.  We  have  been 
dreaming  always  of  co-operation,  and  of 
friendship,  and  now  and  then  we  have  got 
away  from  it.  We  have  oft-times  taken  in 
business  the  path  of  the  jungle,  of  cut-throat 
competition  and  said  that  was  the  American 
idea  in  business. 

That  is  what  we  have  been  doing  in  Amer- 
ica, sometimes,  we  have  got  off  the  line,  but 
thank  God  always  at  the  heart  of  America 
there  was  an  idea  that  after  all  we  are  inter- 
dependent. 

That  is  America  in  everyday  actions  and 
that  is  the  idea  at  the  heart  of  American 
business.  However,  we  have  in  our  midst 
those  who  still  carry  the  hearts  of  Ish- 
mael,  who  are  willing,  in  any  way  they  can, 
to  strike  down  a  neighbor,  if  by  any  hook 
or  crook  they  may  advance  their  own  interest. 
I  don't  believe  we  ever  credit  what  busi- 
ness   has    really   been    in    America.      It    was 


The  Publishers'   Weekly 

business  that  found  America.  Christopher 
Columbus  sailed  on  a  business  trip.  He  had 
money  advanced  him  for  the  purpose  of  find- 
ing a  business  route  to  the  East  Indies.  John 
Cabot  who  found  the  herring  land,  claiming 
North  America,  was  sailing  with  money  fur- 
nished by  London  merchants  to  find  a  pass- 
age to  the  Indies,  from  which  their  products 
had  been  kept  away  because  of  the  conquests 
of  the  Mohammedans  and  Turks  at  Con- 
stantinople. America  was  founded  in  the 
idea  of  business  and  has  been  a  business  na- 
tion ever  since.  All  the  more  important  that 
our  business  be  conducted  on  honest,  co-oper- 
ative principles.  And  one  of  those  principles 
in  my  estimation  is,  fundamentally  and  above 
all  others,  that  the  producer  of  a  trade- 
marked,  standardized  product  who  puts  his 
name  on  it  and  guarantees  it  to  be  what  it 
represents,  and  who  says,  "I  am  back  of  it 
with  everything  I  have,  I  will  make  it  good" 
— that  that  producer  should  be  given  the  right 
to  protect  the  resale  price  of  his  product. 

Now  it  seems  to  me  that  that  is  funda- 
mental to  America.  Here  is  the  idea  of  good 
will.  The  nations  know  that  the  people  over 
here  stand  for  good  will,  the  good  will  be- 
tween man  and  man  and  the  good  will  of 
business.  There  is  something  in  that  idea  of 
good  will  which  means  in  itself  this  forward 
movement  of  the  twentieth  century.  It  is 
the  idea  of  a  man  who  puts  into  his  product 
all  that  he  has,  his  own  life,  his  own  char- 
acter, and  then  undertakes  to  protect  it  and 
make  it  worth  something.  I  think  the  great- 
est thing  in  American  business  history  is  to 
have   standardized   trade-mark  goods. 

Trade-Marked  Goods  Build  Good  Will 

I  was  selling  goods  myself  over  a  counter 
before  I  could  scarcely  look  over  it,  in  a 
little  town  where  the  merchandise  was  of  all 
kinds,  even  including  books.  And  I  can 
remember  when  ninety-five  per  cent  of  the 
goods  sold  were  un-standardized,  were 
without  trade-marks,  were  unknown,  and  the 
man  who  went  to  the  store  and  purchased  one 
of  them  and  took  it  home,  found  it  satisfac- 
tory, could  never  be  sure  that  he  was  getting 
the  same  product  when  he  again  desired  it. 

And  then  grew  up  a  kind  of  business  which 
was  to  standardize  these  goods,  put  the 
name  on  them,  and  pack  them  in  cartons 
and  boxes  that  could  be  appreciated  and 
understood,  and  we  began  to  have  good  will 
as  a  national  asset,  good  will  in  the  manu- 
facturer's hand,  in  the  wholesaler's  hand  and 
in  the  retailer's  hand— all  of  them  of  vital 
importance. 

The  old  laws  wouldn't  apply  to  this  situa- 
tion.    The   old    common    law    usage    that    the 


May  20,  1922

good  will  was  vested  only  in  the  last  selling 
agency  had  to  give  way,  because  here  was 
a  man  who  was  the  originator  of  a  product, 
who  himself  had  the  good  will  and  invest- 
ment in  it  until  it  got  to  the  consumer's  hand. 
He  also  had  an  idea  of  holding  to  it  and 
keeping  it  true.  Therefore,  the  common  law 
idea  that  every  man  could  dp  with  his 
own  as  he  desired  had  to  give  way  before  the 
idea  of  good  will  in  the  hands  of  the  maker 
of  the  article  itself. 

For  many  years  we  had  in  America  the 
principle  established  that  the  manufacturer 
and  the  producer  of  these  trade-marked  guar- 
anteed goods  could  maintain  the  resale  price, 
that  it  was  his  to  do  with  at  the  last  as  he 
desired.  Then  came  the  Doctor  Miles  decision 
in  the  Supreme  Court  laying  down  a  new  prin- 
ciple, that  any  manufacturer  who  endeavored 
to  fix  the  price  of  his  product  after  it  had  left 
his  hand,  was  acting  in  opposition  to  the 
STierman  Anti-Trust  Law  and  against  public 
policy,  and  that  put  a  new  situation  into  Ameri- 
can business. 

Decision  after  decision  has  come  since  that 
time  from  the  highest  court  in  America,  and 
uncertainty  has  been  added  to  uncertainty. 
I  defy  the  highest  paid  lawyer  in  America  to 
say  just  how  far  a  man  may  go  in  protecting 
his  own  product  when  it  reaches  the  hand 
of  a  wholesaler  and  the  retailer. 

We  had  the  Colgate  decision  in  the  Supreme 
Court  in  which  it  was  said  that  a  man  had 
a  right  to  refuse  to  sell  anyone  for  any  rea- 
son, and  that  carried  the  intimation  that  if  a 
price  cutter  took  a  trade-marked  article  and 
slashed  the  price,  the  manufacturer  could  re- 
fuse to  sell  him;  but  that  was  immediately 
nullified  by  the  Beech  Nut  decision,  which 
went  on  to  say  that  if  there  was  any  co- 
operation between  the  retailer  and  the  pro- 
ducer, if  information  came  from  the  retailer 
to  the  manufacturer,  then  it  was  again  a 
violation  of  the  Sherman  Anti-Trust  Law. 

When  Fixed  Prices  Are  Legal 

The  only  thing  the  Supreme  Court  has 
finally  decided  is  that  it  is  perfectly  legal  to 
fix  a  resale  price  if  the  producer  of  the 
article  establishes  his  own  final  selling 
agency,  so  that  any  great  corporation  that  has 
money  enough  to  finance  retail  establishments 
in  every  city,  can  thru  that  method  fix  a  re- 
sale price,  and  it  is  about  the  only  way  it  can 
be  sure  of  doing  it. 

What  does  that  mean?  One  blow  to  de- 
stroy all  the  established  agencies  of  distribu- 
tion. It  means  every  manufacturer  must 
establish  a  separate  branch  in  every  separate 
city.  It  means  the  most  expensive  and  ineffi- 
cient system  of  distribution  in  the  world,  and 


God  knows  we  need  to  cut  down  the  cost 
rather  than  increase  the  cost  of  distribution. 
That  is  the  present  situation,  and  it  must  be 
met  by  legislation. 

The  Supreme  Court  has  decided  that  a  man 
cannot  fix  his  resale  price,  and  always  before 
it  has  been  regarded  as  not  only  legal,  but  as 
advancing  the  common  welfare.  It  must  be 
fixed  by  legislation.  There  must  be  an  affirm- 
ative declaration  that  any  producer  or  manu- 
facturer or  grower  of  any  original  article  who 
puts  on  it  his  own  name  and  makes  it  so  it 
can  be  identified,  who  stands  back  of  it  with 
his  guarantee — that  he  shall  have  the  right, 
if  he  desires,  to  file  a  schedule  with  an  offi- 
cer of  the  government  and  then  hold  to  that 
price  thfu  every  agency  of  distribution  and 
to  the  consumer.  That  is  the  bill  which  is 
now  awaiting  action,  that  provides  that  the 
original  producer  by  filing  his  schedule  in  the 
Federal  Trade  Commission  can  tliereby  force 
the  price  maintenance  of  his  article  to  the 
consumer. 

Price   Maintenance   Opposes   Monopoly 

Now  does  that  mean  a  disadvantage  to  the 
consumer?  If  it  does,  I  will  be  opposed  to 
it,  because  after  all  the  booksellers  are  but 
a  group,  but  the  public  comprises  us  all. 
Does  it  mean  an  injury  to  that  consumer  and 
to  the  public  to  have  independent  manufac- 
turers fix  their  prices?     I  claim  it  does  not. 

Twenty-five  years  ago  in  the  country  vil- 
lage where  I  lived,  my  fatlier  being  a  pro- 
prietor of  a  store  there,  there  was  a  war  on 
oil,  and  the  three  stores  in  tlie  town  began 
cutting  each  other.  Oil  dropped  down  until 
it  was  sold  at  one  cent  a  gallon.  Standard 
Oil  cut  that  price  until  the  independents  were 
put  out  of  business.  Two  of  those  stores 
had  been  put  out  of  business  and  the  good 
will  out  of  them  had  been  ruined  before  that 
oil  war  was  over.     That  meant  monopoly. 

Whenever  you  have  a  jungle  war  in  which 
the  strongest  can  always  overcome  the  weak- 
est then  you  are. bound  to  come  to  monopoly 
as  surely  as  the  night  follows  the  day,  be- 
cause it  is  only  thru  a  jungle  warfare  that 
that  kind  of  thing  can  exist;  so  that  this 
measure  of  price  maintenance  is  against  mon- 
opoly. It  is  an  anti-monopolistic  measure. 
It  is  a  plan  for  the  common  welfare  of  every 
dealer  and  the  common  welfare  of  the  con- 
sumer. 

Many  independent  manufacturers  have  been 
driven  out  of  business  because  their  product 
was  taken  and  slaughtered  and  they  were 
helpless  to  prevent  it.  I  saw  in  Reading,  a 
splendid  article  absolutely  destroyed.  It  was 
a  toilet  soap,  a  fine  value  at  ten  cents.  Peo- 
ple appreciated  it  to  such  an  extent  that  they 


1430 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


gave  a  vote  of  approval  to  the  name  and  to 
the  price,  and  they  began  demanding  it  from 
every  retailer.  One  retailer  started  to  make 
it  a  leader.  He  used  it  as  a  bait  in  a  trap 
to  catch  the  unwary.  He  put  it  out  at  three 
cents  a  cake  instead  of  ten  and  he  adver- 
tised it  extensively.  People  flocked  to  get  it 
at  three  cents.  While  they  were  there  he 
talked  to  them  on  unnamed,  unknown  goods 
and  added  to  his  profit  more  than  he  could 
on  standardized  goods.  The  competitor  next 
door  cut  it  to  three  cents  also.  Every  store 
in  town  cut  that  soap  to  three  cents  a  cake. 
It  spread  from  Reading  to  other  cities.  The 
end  of  it  was  an  absolutely  destroyed  mar- 
ket, and  it  hasn't  been  on  the  market  for  the 
last  ten  years.  It  was  absolutely  .  destroyed 
by  price  cutters. 

I  was  in  a  store  not  so  long  ago,  and  the 
man  told  me  he  was  advertising  a  great  list 
of  bargains.  He  had  twenty  different  articles 
which  he  was  selling  for  ten  dollars,  and  they 
were  wonderful  bargains,  (to  read  the  adver- 
tisements). I  talked  to  him  entirely  as  a 
friend  and  he  showed  me  the  cost  of  them, 
I  said  to  him,  "Here  is  a  fifty-cent  article, 
known  the  world  around  to  sell  at  fifty  cents, 
you  have  got  it  down  at  17c.  You  know  that 
cost  you  more  than  that  amount  you  are 
selling  it  for.  Why  should  you  do  that?" 
Then  he  took  a  piece  of  paper  and  figured  out 
the  cost  of  all  the  articles,  the  entire  twenty, 
and  on  the  ten  dollars  he  was  making  $4.50, 
and  yet  advertising  them  as  a  tremendous 
bargain  by  means  of  two  articles  which  he 
had  cut  from  the  standard  price  to  about  one- 
third.  That  is  the  kind  of  system  that  this 
entire  business  involves. 

How  Markets  Are  Ruined 

I  had  a  letter  this  morning  from  a  manu- 
facturer of  toilet  preparations.  He  said 
that  a  department  store  in  Chicago  took  those 
articles  of  his,  advertised  them,  cut  the  price, 
and  the  result  was  that  this  man  couldn't 
sell  to  a  single  store  in  Qiicago,  because  he 
didn't  maintain  the  price.  He  says:  "I  can't 
maintain  the  price  because  it  is  in  violation 
of  the  Serman  Anti-Trust  Law."  So  the 
manufacturer  is  helpless. 

And  the  same  thing  .is  true,  of  course,  in 
your  particular  line.  The  publisher  of  books 
who  puts  them  out  at  $1.50,  good  value  and  at 
a  price  to  appeal  to  the  public  and  receive  the 
public  approval,  and  who  then  advertises 
them  at  98c.,  immediately  puts  into  the  minds 
of  the  buyers  the  value  of  98c.  When  you  be- 
gin to  try  to  get  the  regular  price,  the  real 
price  that  carries  with  it  a  fair  profit  to  all 
and  a  fair  price  to  the  consumer,  you  have 


in  the  minds  of  the  consumer  a  98c.  value, 
and  it  is  impossible  to  have  a  square  deal 
because  of  that. 

I  have  over  on  my  desk  one  hundred  letters 
of  men  who  wrote  to  producers  of  various 
articles  and  said  to  them,  "Here  is  a  retailer 
selling  this  article  at  25c.  above  cost.  Why 
don't  you  protect  me?"  Or,  *T  paid  and  have 
always  paid  for  this  article  50c.  and  now  I 
am  being  charged  75c.  Why  don't  you  pro- 
tect me?"  And  the  manufacturer  is  forced 
to  reply,  "I  cannot  control  the  price,  either 
below  or  above  the  regular  price." 

Goodwill    is    the    Confidence    That    Brings 
Customers  Back 

Now  that  isn't  a  fair  proposition.  It  isn't 
fair  to  the  dealer  or  to  the  manufacturer  or 
to  the  consumer,  and  I  believe  that  the 
American  conscience  stands  for  the  principle 
of  a  one  price  to  all.  When  a  man  can  go 
into  a  store  and  know  that  if  he  gets  an 
article  at  a  fixed  price  he  can  come  back  and 
get  it  at  the  same  price  again  and  that  it 
shall   be   continued   on    that    basis. 

When  Mr.  Storey  out  in  ChicagK)  fixed  the 
policy  of  "one  price  to  all"  in  his  store,  and 
put  on  them  well-known  prices,  plainly  to  be 
seen,  no  deviation  to  be  made  from  them,  he 
made  a  wonderful  stride  in  business  honesty. 
In  the  old  days  when  everybody  haggled  for 
the  price  they  should  pay,  the  advantage  was 
always  with  the*  dealer.  (Laughter),  inc 
haggle  system  always  ends  in  a  disadvantage 
to  the  consumer.  He  doesn't  know  values. 
He  must  learn  by  experience  that  an  article  is 
worth  the  price.  If  $1.50  is  the  standard  price, 
he  buys  at  it.  If  what  he  buys  is  what  he  de- 
sires he  asks  for  it  again.  That  is  where  con- 
fidence comes  in.     That  is  where  good  will  is. 

Good  will  in  business  is  an  asset.  It  is 
as  real  an  asset  as  the  machinery  and  the 
material  property  in  the  plant  It  is  a 
value  to  the  man  and  should  not  be  de- 
stroyed. Good  will  is  the  confidence  which 
brings  a  customer  back  again  the  second  time 
to  get  what  he  got  before,  and  on  that  good 
will  is  set  the  very  heart  of  American  business. 

To  get  the  confidence  ol  the  consumer,  a 
manufacturer  has  a  national  campaign.  He 
spends  money  advertising  to  the  world.  He 
gets  a  referendum.  It  approves.  Then  he 
finds  because  he  made  his  article  so  good  and 
it  is  demanded,  that  he  is  the  victim  of  the 
price  cutter.  And  the  price  cutter  goes  out 
to  destroy  his  market  and  profit  himself  on 
a  name  already  made  when  he  won't  use  his 
own  name  on  the  advertisement.  He  will 
use  your  name  or  the  name  of  someone  who 
made  an  honest  name  by  the  expenditure  of 


May  20,  1922

great  sums  of  money.  That  is  the  jungle  law, 
the  law  that  absolutely  refuses  to  recognize 
the  Golden  Rule  and  the  right  of  neighbors, 
and  says,  "that  the  power  of  might  is  the 
power  of  right."  That  is  the  thing  that  we 
detsroyed — I  hope  forever — in  the  Argonne 
Wood  when  the  American  boys  broke  the 
heart  of  Prussia  by  the  power  of  brotherhood 
and  co-operation,     (Applause.) 

Manufacturer    Forced    to     Compete    With 
Himself 

There  is  scarcely  a  nation  in  the  world 
that  doesn't  have  a  resale  price  protection 
law.  Everyone  of  them  has  realized  that  it 
is  to  the  benefit  of  the  public  to  be  assured  of 
a  value  which  they  know  and  of  articles 
which  they  know;  that  the  old  system  isn't 
of  benefit  to  the  consumer. 

I  believe  that  the  beginning  of  the  trade- 
mark system  was  of  tremendous  benefit  to 
America.  I  believe  that  the  great  inventions 
that  have  been  made  in  chemical  processes 
have  been  in  part,  and  in  a  large  part,  pro- 
tected by  the  fact  that  they  were  able  to  copy- 
iright  the  name  and  then  advertise  the  name. 

There  was  the  great  experiment  which  pro- 
duced celluloid.  It  was  discovered  by  chem- 
ists who  worked  many  years  to  find  it.  Cel- 
luloid was  never  patented.  It  is  protected 
with  a  trade-mark.  There  are  certain  dyes 
made  from  coal  tar  products,  there  are  medi- 
cines made  out  of  coal  tar  products  also; 
they  have  never  been  patented  but  they  are 
trade-marked  goods,  and  that  is  the  pro- 
tection  given  them. 

If  we  don't  protect  the  trade-mark,  we  are 
putting  producers  and  all  their  efforts  at  the 
mercy  of  the  most  predatory  businessman  in 
the  world,  the  systematic  price-cutter,  no 
matter  where  he  may  be.  I  could  give  you 
a  list  of  fifty  articles  that  you  know,  that 
you  have  in  daily  use,  all  of  them  have  been 
discovered  after  great  efifort  and  expenditure 
of  energy  and  intelligence,  and  they  are  pro- 
tected only  by  the  trade-mark. 

They  should  be  protected  by  a  law  which 
•should  give  the  manufacturer  the  right  to  fix 
a  fair  price  for  them  and-  then  carry  it  thru 
to  the  consumer.  Oh,  I  know  the  argument 
that  is  made  against  this  bill  of  mine.  They 
say  it  is  the  sure  monopoly  measure.  They 
don't  understand  business  at  all. 

There  is  a  vast  difference  between  a  man 
producing  one  safety  razor,  for  instance, 
making  his  own  safety  razor,  putting  his 
name  on  it  and  guaranteeing  it,  and  the  manu- 
facturer who  has  all  brands  of  safety  razors 
in  his  hand.  "V^/henever  you  have  a  monopoly 
of  a  whole  line  of  goods,  then  it  is  against 
the  public   interest.     But   when  you  have  an 


independent  manufacture,  we  will  say,  of  a 
safety  razor  and  fix  it  at  a  price  of  $2.00,  put 
it  out  in  competition  with  the  world,  and 
there  is  another  article  for  $1.00,  even  one 
for  $2.25,  they  are  all  in  competition,  and  it 
increases  competition  to  have  the  production 
of  an  individual  article,  on  which  you  have 
the  right  to  make  the  price  whatever  you 
desire.  If  I  have  a  $5.03  article  and  sell  it 
for  $5.00  I  encourage  competition.  I  make  a 
market  for  my  competitor  to  come  in  and  sell 
one  at  $2.00;  he  takes  my  business  away 
from  me  and  I  have  been  advertising  to  ad- 
vance his  interest  not  to  advance  my  own. 
In  fair  competition  where  the  quality  is  at 
stake  we  advance  the  common  welfare,  but 
if  I  produce  an  article  at  $5.00,  a  fair  price, 
and  the  public  demands  it,  and  my  retailer 
takes  and  cuts  it  to  $375.  then  I  am  com- 
peting against  myself.  They  force  me  into  a 
position  where  every  price  cutter  can  make 
me  compete  with  myself  to  my  destruction. 
That  isn't  a  fair  proposition.  It  is  not  fair 
in  any  line  of  production. 

Who  Opposes  the  Kelly  Bill 

And  I  believe  that  this  great  gathering  here 
can  be  of  great  force.  After  all,  Congress  is 
made  up  of  representatives  of  the  people. 
They  are  busy  men  and  have  not  studied  the 
question.  I  made  the  first  speech  that  was 
ever  made  on  it  in  Congress  away  back  in 
1915,  and  have  had  the  matter  continually 
before  the  Committee,  but  we  have  thousands 
of  bills.  The  men  are  so  busy,  they  are  de- 
voting their  time  to  things  that  are  pressing 
them  from  their  own  districts,  and  you  ought 
to  help  to  bring  this  to  them  from  your  dis- 
tricts. Let  them  understand  that  you  are 
interested  in  this  great  .American  doctrine  of 
one  price  to  all  and  a  square  deal  for  every 
agency  in  production  and  distribution. 

You  can  do  that  thru  this  convention.  You 
can  do  it  individually  by  letting  your  mem- 
ber of  Congress  understand  what  it  means. 
I  had  an  interview  the  other  day  with  Secre- 
tary of  Commerce  Hoover,  and  I  am  glad  to 
say  that  he  undersands  this  question  in  its 
essence.  He  is  in  favor  of  the  maintained 
price  by  the  independent  producers  of  a 
standardized,  trade-marked  article.  He  is  for 
it  because  he  understands  business.  The 
solicitors  understand  it,  and  the  men  in  busi- 
ness and  in  legal  lines  who  have  had  busi- 
ness along  this  line  are  for  the  principles 
involved  in  this  measure. 

We  have  considerable  opposition  to  it. 
When  we  have  hearings  on  the  so-called 
Stcphcns-Kclly  Bill  in  the  House  we  find 
plenty  of  opposition  to  it.  The  opposition 
comes  from  highly  paid  attorneys  represent- 


1432 


The  Publishers'   Weekly 


ing  mail-order  houses,  representing  chain 
stores,  representing  some  great  department 
stores,  and  they  pour  in  on  those  hearings 
and  endeavor  to  have  the  members  of  Con- 
gress believe  that  this  is  a  monopolistic 
measure,  when  in  fact  it  is  entirely  directed 
against  monopoly  in  business,  and  for  honest, 
fair,  open  competition. 

It  is  a  measure  for  the  people,  not  for  any 
class,  and  yet  it  has  been  put,  by  these  paid 
representatives  of  those  who  will  monopolize 
retailing  if  they  continue,  into  the  position  of 
being  for  the  benefit  of  the  predatory  few. 
If  we  continue  with  the  course  we  are  pursuing 
now  there  won't  be  any  more  bookstores  left 
in  America.  The  old  bookstore  will  go  and 
give  way  to  a  corner  in  a  great  monopolistic 
retailing  enterprise  in  all  the  great  cities.  The 
little  corner  store  in  the  village  will  be  gone. 
You  will  have  instead  a  part  of  a  great  system 
that  has  its  hand  on  the  throat  of  the  little 
dealer  as  well  as  the  consumer  in  the  end. 

Trace  the  profits  of  these  great  organiza- 
tions, find  out  how  much  they  make,  and  you 
can  well  understand  they  are  not  great  bene- 
fits to  the  public  in  the  way  of  giving  them 
bargains.  They  are  making  a  tremendous 
profit.  The  little  store  on  the  corner  is  run 
on  twenty-five  per  cent.  The  great  concerns 
in  Chicago  have  to  have  thirty-seven  per  cent 
in  order  to  do  business  at  all,  and  they  are 
making  profits  which  are  so  high  that  it 
shows  that  they  are  taking  extortionate 
profits  on  many  articles  in  order  to  sell  a 
few  standard  goods  under  cost. 

A  Square  Deal  in  Business 

Now  let  us  get  into  our  minds  this 
idea  of  a  square  deal  in  business.  Every 
honest  business  man  ought  to  be  an  active 
power  in  his  community,  spreading  thru  his 
business  associates  and  thru  the  community 
ideas  against  evil  practices  in  business, 
against  the  spider  and  the  fly  tactics  in  busi- 
ness, and  stand  for  an  honest  deal  instead,  a 
square  chance  for  every  man,  and  an  honest 
opportunity  to  develop. 

They  rob  me  who  take  my  good  name  more 
than  those  who  take  my  purse.  My  good  name 
in  business  is  the  most  valuable  thing  I  have. 
Take  that  away  and  I  have  no  money.  Give 
me  that  and  I  can  always  get  money,  and  the 
result  is  that  those  who  attack  my  good  name 
or  your  good  name  as  producers,  or  the  good 
name  of  any  manufacturer,  are  striking  at 
the  assets  of  America;  they  are  striking 
deadly  blows  at  the  prosperity  of  this  nation. 

I  am  a  optimist  of  the  first  order.  I  couldn't 
be  a  pessimist  and  still  be  in  Congress.  For 
the  last  ten  years  I  have  seen  world  history 
made.     I  have  seen  America  rise  to  challenge 


after  challenge  which  seemed  to  be  enough  to 
shake  the  heart  of  the  bravest  man,  and  always 
America  has  met  the  test  in  the  end. 

Yes,  in  that  time  our  boys  have  died  for 
a  dream  of  ours.  The  dream  of  brotherhood, 
the  dream  of  a  square  deal,  of  cooperation, 
the  dream  that  the  people  themselves  must 
rule,  that  the  consent  of  the  governed  is  the 
fundamental  of  government,  that  the  people 
have  a  right  to  have  the  governmet  in  their 
hands  in  order  that  justice  may  be  done  to 
every  man,  woman  and  child. 

Yes,  we  have  a  duty  to  perform,  as  business- 
men to  apply  the  Golden  Rule,  to  promote  good 
fellowship  between  competitors  with  the  idea 
that  we  can  be  in  the  same  business  and  sit 
down  together  and  yet  plan  in  good  fellow- 
ship for  the  things  that  benefit  us  all;  that  we 
clasp  hands  and  know  each  other,  that  under- 
standing may  come — and  that  is  what  the  world 
needs.    That  is  what  we  need  in  business. 

Protecting  Good  Will 

Why  shouldn't  we  have  nations  and  individ- 
uals in  comradeship  and  good  fellowship,  and 
so  that  we  can  say  that  it  is  a  fair  thing  for  an 
honest  manufacturer  of  a  product  to  have  a 
right  to  make  good  his  price  to  the  last  owner 
of  it,  the  man  who  uses  it  finally,  that  his  good 
will  shall  be  protected? 

You  business  men  dealing  with  the  things 
that  mean  education,  with  the  things  that  mean 
development  of  the  masses,  with  the  things 
that  after  all  are  the  very  heart  of  our  civiliza- 
tion— ^you  ought  to  be  in  the  forefront  of  a 
movement  for  good-will,  the  proteqtion  of 
good-will,  and  for  the  advancement  of  the 
Golden  Rule.  Then  we  will  bring  about  all 
these  things  we  boast  about — our  enterprises 
without  so  much  enmity,  our  statesmanship 
without  so  much  of  the  treason  on  its  brow — 
then  we  will  have  the  dreams  of  every  prophet, 
of  every  seer  and  honest  business  man  come 
true. 

[A  rising  vote  of  thanks  was  extended  to

most  unusually  favored  in  the  magnificent  ad-

A  Larger  Organization  And  More  Cooperation 
By  W.  W.  Norman 

The    Norman,   Remington    Co.,   Baltimore 


1DO  not  know  why  I  have  been  called  upon 
to  present  to  you  the  particular  topic  of  "A 
Larger  Organization  and  More  Coopera- 
tion." It  is  not  a  subject  with  all  the  aspects 
of  which  I  can  claim  to  be  perfectly  familiar ; 
nor  can  I  rid  myself  of  the  fear  that  the  un- 
derlying reason  for  this  uncharitable  action  of 
the  Program  Committee,  of  which  my  partner 
is  a  most  active  member,  may  be  their  hope 
that,  by  some  stroke  of  great  good  fortune, 
I  shall  demonstrate  the  truth  of  that  old  Bib- 
lical quotation  which  certifies  to  the  wisdom 
which  shall  issue  "out  of  the  mouths  of  babes 
and  sucklings." 

Plea  for  Membership 

I  lack  the  eloquence  which  the  importance 
of  my  subject  dictates  should  accompany  its 
presentation ;  but  on  the  other  hand  I  am  filled 
with  a  sense  of  the  need  of  cooperation,  if 
we  are  to  raise  our  profession  out  of  the 
slough  of  despond  and  finally  turn  our  backs 
on  the  shapes  of  fear  and  disaster  that  have 
confronted  us  since  the  beginnings  of  modern 
bookselling. 

This  Association  is  a  little  over  twenty 
years  old.  During  its  career  it  has  undoubtedly 
done  much  to  improve  conditions  for  the  book- 
trade.  But  how  much  pride  can  a  member 
feel  in  contemplating  the  membership  rolls  of 
a  national  retail  association  which  contains  far 
less  than  a  majority  of  the  retailers  in  its 
line  in  the  country?  You  have  a  fine  gather- 
ing here  today,  and  I  congratulate  you  on  the 
spirit  displayed.  But  what  is  the  percentage 
of  your  membership  actually  present,  on  the 
occasion  of  its  annual  gathering  in  the  nation's 
capital?  This  is,  after  all,  the  heart  of  your 
problem.  And  until  the  remedy  is  applied  to 
such  conditions,  until  you  gather  into  the  fold 
the  vast  balance  of  unorganized  booksellers 
and  bring  the  membership  to  your  annual  con- 
vention in  greater  proportion  to  its  actual  mem- 
bers, you  may  talk  everlastingly  about  what 
you  are  going  to  do,  but  you  will  never  be  able 
to  do  it. 

I  didn't  come  here  to  play  the  part  of  a 
shrieking  Cassandra.  I  obeyed  the  call  of  the 
Program  Committee  in  belief  that  it  is  my 
duty  to  do  all  in  my  power  to  further  the  in- 
terests of  my  own  trade.  So,  please  bear  with 
me  if  I  say  anything  that  does  not  please  you. 
It  is  not  you  to  whom  I  speak.  My  appeal 
is  made  to  that  great  majority  who  stand  out- 
side these  walls,  inarticulate  and  reactionary, 
in  so  far  as  co-operation  is  concerned. 


I  have  no  desire  to  flutter  your  Volscians 
in  Corioli;  you  who  are  here  may  hear  the 
truth  without  wincing.  You  are  doing  your 
part  to  build  your  trade,  the  symbol  of  culture 
and  the  nation's  mental  life,  into  a  powerful 
guild  embracing  every  shopkeeper  who  finds  it 
profitable  to  sell  a  book  at  retail.  But  I  am 
filled  with  amazement  to  find  it  necessary  to 
appeal  to  dealers  in  a  commodity  whose  han- 
dling requires  such  skill,  inteligence  and  knowl- 
edge to  join  the  National  Association  of  their 
fellow  retailers.  Would  they  show  the  same 
reluctance  to  join  the  Masons,  or  the  Shriners, 
or  the  Elks,  or  the  Red  Men,  or  any  of  the 
numerous  other  societies  which  carry  on  for 
the  social  welfare  of  their  members?  No,  of 
course  not!  Yet  they  refuse  to  join  an  organi- 
zation which  is  working  constantly  for  the  ma- 
terial improvement,  not  only  of  its  members, 
but  of  the  whole  body  of  retailers  thruout  the 
country.  Can  blindness  be  carried  further?  Is 
there  not  something  pathetic  in  the  picture  of 
these  unprogressive  booksellers  scattered  all 
over  this  vast  country?  They  are  in  the  posi- 
tion of  the  man  who  is  living  on  top  of  a  rich 
mine  without  the  knowledge  of  how  to  open  it 
up.  Yet  when  they  are  shown  the  one  method 
of  acquiring  this  knowledge,  the  one  method 
that  their  more  energetic  and  altruistic  fellows 
have  seized  upon,  trade  organization  and  co- 
operation with  all  that  implies,  they  remain 
indifferent  and  continue  to  sell  wall-papers  to 
make  up    for   the   deficiencies   caused   by  their 


own  supmeness 


United    Presentation    of   Grievances 

Retail  associations  have  become  essential 
features  of  all  trades.  Some  trades  are  less 
fortunate  than  ours  in  that  it  has  been  found 
necessary  to  organize  primarily  for  protection 
against  various  evils  fostered  by  their  manufac- 
turers. In  the  book-trade  this  has  never  been 
the  case,  for  we  can  smile  upon  the  publishers 
and  say,  from  our  very  hearts,  that  they  are 
all  our  friends.  Of  course  there  have  been 
differences,  bitter  differences,  which  have  in- 
fluenced our  judgments.  We  have  always  be- 
lieved for  instance  that  the  margin  on  which 
the  publishing  business  has  been  conducted  was 
substantially  more  than  the  publishers  have  con- 
sidered necessary  for  the  operation  of  the  re- 
tail end.  Possibly  we  were  right;  possibly  the 
publishers  had  good  and  sufficient  reasons  for 
the  limitation  of  discounts.  But  the  point  I 
should  like  to  bring  home  to  you  is  that  if 
you  had  an  organization  in  the  real  sense  of 


3434 


The  Publishers'   IVeekly 


the  word,  had  the  representatives  of  your  as- 
sociation 'been  able  to  feel  that  the  harmonious 
influence  and  cooperative  energy  of  the  book- 
trade  of  the  entire  country  were  behind  them, 
they  would  undoubtedly  have  found  the  pub- 
lishers more  willing  to  go  along  with  them  in 
the  discussion  and  remedial  treatment  of  what 
seemed  to  you  to  be  real  grievances.  Do  not 
misunderstand  me.  You  had  your  grievances, 
but  how  were  they  expressed?  Not  unitedly. 
No!  by  a  thousand  individuals  each  delivering 
himself  of  his  own  conception  of  what  con- 
stituted the  great  drawback  to  the  business. 
Among  these  many  voices  the  publishers  could 
not  distinguish  between  the  false  and  the  true, 
between  real  faults  and  fancied  grie\^ances.  And 
as  a  consequence  the  evils  which  were  suscep- 
tible of  immediate  rectification  and  whose  re- 
moval would  have  meant  the  difference  between 
life  and  death  to  many  a  worthy  bookseller  of 
bygone  days  were  allowed  to  remain  a  source 
of  disease  to  the  retail  book-trade. 

Booksellers  at  Fault 

The  publishers  have  my  unbounded  admira- 
tion. Personally  I  am  grateful  to  many  of 
them  for  great  kindness  shown.  I  honestly 
believe  they  have  had,  at  all  times,  the  inter- 
est of  the  retail  book-trade  sincerely  at  heart, 
and  I  am  convinced  that  nothing  would  please 
them  better  than  to  see  a  strong  and  vigorous 
organization  of  booksellers  operating  continu- 
ously to  elevate  the  standard  of  trade  condi- 
tions. Don't  make  a  mistake  in  your  attitude 
on  this  point.  The  publishers  are  not  your 
enemies,  but  your  great  friends.  It  is  not 
against  them  you  must  sharpen  your  spear 
points.  If  you  must  use  your  weapons,  point 
them  at  your  own  breasts.  It  is  you  your- 
selves who  are  the  real  criminals.  Our  busi- 
ness was  not  to  stand  idly  by,  hurling  anathe- 
mas upon  the  publishers  for  initiating  selling 
plans  which  seemed  to  inhere  solely  in  the  re- 
tail shop.  I  have  not  the  slightest  doubt  that 
by  far  the  most  pleasant  part  of  the  publish- 
ing business  is  the  handling  o[  books  at  whole- 
sale. Selling  by  retail  necessitates  the  creation 
of  new  departments  and  the  expenditure  of 
large  sums.  The  booksellers  could  have  re- 
tained the  trade,  grown  to  vast  proportions, 
which  now  goes  direct  to  the  publishers. 

In  this  country  trade  associations  first  made 
their  appearance  more  than  three  quarters  of 
a  century  ago,  altho  not  much  progress  was 
made  until  about  1875  when  a  great  impetus 
was  given  to  the  movement  by  the  growth  of 
the  trade  unions.  In  the  course  of  time  it 
WES  observed  tha1|  whiile  ithes(^  associations 
tended  to  protect  the  interests  of  the  manufac- 
turer and  wholesaler,  they  almost  entirely  neg- 
lected that  of  the  retailers,  that  inchoate  silent 
mass,    which    is    the    first    to    feel    the    pinch 


So,  out  of  the  obvious  need,  grew  the  retail 
trade  associations  which  today  guard,  in  the 
vast  majority  of  cases,  most  effectively  the  in- 
terests of  the  retailers. 

One  of  the  typical  forms  of  protection 
sought  by  trade  associations,  both  wholesale 
and  retail,  is  embodied  in  the  efforts  made 
against  the  introduction  of  unfair  methods. 
It  is  not'  my  purpose  nor  is  it  within  my  prov- 
ince to  enter  into  any  detailed  discussion  of 
this  subject.  But  I  should  like  to  place  my- 
self on  record  as  a  strong  advocate  of  the 
passage  of  a  law  restraining  the  evil  in- 
fluences of  cut-price  merchants  and  as  regard- 
ing such  methods  as  most  unethical — from  the 
standpoint  of  the  manufacturer,  of  competitors, 
and  of  the  general  public  which  pays  the  cut- 
price  store  in  its  purchase  of  merchandise  what 
amounts  to  a  compensating  value,  for  what 
has  been  sold  at  a  loss  in  another  part  of  it. 

Now  how  are  you  going  to  achieve  the 
remedy  of  what  you  (know  to  be  the  evils  in 
your  trade  if,  by  your  selfishness  and  indiffer- 
ence, you  allow  it  to  remain  too  weak  to  en- 
force its  just  demands?  And  if  you  are  that 
kind  of  man  or  woman,  without  enthusiasm, 
or  even  interest  in  the  upbuilding  of  your 
trade  and  its  good  name,  in  God's  name  get 
out  of  the  business  and  make  room  for  another 
who  will  use  his  brains,  his  eyes  and  his  hands 
intelligently. 

The  Interdependence  of  Modern  Society 

As  Professor  Giddings  says  in  one  of  his 
numerous  works  on  social  economics,  "if  or- 
ganization is  incomplete  there  is  a  limit  to  the 
life-possibilities  of  the  individual  organism." 
He  or  it  can  perform  less  and  enjoy  less  while 
living,  and  dissolution  begins  earlier.  Society 
as  a  whole  exemplifies  this  great  law.  If  social 
evolution  is  to  continue,  and  the  life  of  man 
is  to  become  larger  and  richer  with  increasing 
happiness,  social  organization  in  the  future  will 
be  not  simpler,  not  more  individual  than  it  is 
now,  but  more  complex,  more  interdependent. 
You  cannot  escape  this  fundamental  truth.  It 
is  as  clearly  established  in  the  natural  law 
of  the  modern  world  as  the  Newtonian  theory 
or  the  principle  laid  down  by  Darwin,  against 
which  William  Jennings  Bryan  and  the  solemn 
Kentucky  Solons  are  beating  their  puny  brains 
in  futile  self -advertising. 

And  in  the  same  degree  that  we  accept  this 
law  as  applying  to  society  on  a  great  scale, 
so  must  we  accept  it  as  applying  to  that  part 
of  society  with  which  we  are  immediately  con- 
cerned. What  is  true  for  the  whole  is  true 
for  any  part  of  it.  If  organization  is  essen- 
tial to  the  conduct  of  modern  society  it  stands 
to  reason  that  it  is  equally  important  to  any  of 
its  divisions.  The  unorganized  bookseller, 
standing    outside    the    breastworks    built    with 


May  20,  1922

so  much  effort  by  his  more  courageous  fellows 
and  scorning  the  scant  protection  which  those 
weak  labors  conferred,  not  only  denied  the  as- 
sociation the  advantage  of  his  help  in  strength- 
ening it.  He  also  invited  attacks  upon  him- 
self and  it  to  perpetuate  conditions  favorable 
to  others  but  unfavorable  to  the  retailer,  to 
which  the  obvious  lack  of  harmonious  coop- 
eration in  the  trade  promised  a  successful  re- 
sult. 

Who  does  not  remember  that  fable  told  by 
Aesop  of  the  dying  father  anxious  that  his 
sons  should  carry  on  his  work  in  unity  and 
harmony?  Of  how  he  called  them  to  him  and 
showed  them  a  bundle  of  sticks,  which  to- 
gether defied  destruction,  but  singly  broke  in 
two  without  effort?  To  my  mind  this  fable 
touches  the  immortal  heights  of  philosophic 
truth.  And  you  cannot  be  so  indifferent  to 
your  own  welfare,  as  to  ignore  all  the  teach- 
ings of  past  ages  which  point  the  way  to  your 
attainment  of   all  that  you  desire. 

It  is  a  truism  that  the  field  of  bookselling 
has  hardly  been  scratched.  Is  it  not  a  reflec- 
tion upon  our  intelligence  and  our  industry 
that  our  trade  should  hold  so  humble  a  place 
in  the  comparative  lists  of  manufacturers  and 
retail  business?  Just  imagine,  ladies  and  gen- 
tlemen, that  business  which  satisfies  the  most 
elemental   characteristic  of   civilized  humanity, 


which  creates  the  opportunity  for  every  boy 
and  girl  to  rise  to  great  heights,  which  confers 
ability,  gives  pleasure  and  controls  every  emo- 
tion of  the  human  mind,  just  imagine,  I  say,, 
what  must  be  the  opinion  held  by  men  in  other 
lines  of  those  who  hold  this  power  and  fait 
to  use  it,  to  their  utmost,  to  their  own  benefit 
and  the  world's  great  good! 

These  are  my  postulates.  I  fear  I  have  al- 
ready kept  you  too  long.  But  my  strong  belief 
in  the  cooperative  principle  as  a  necessary 
means  to  success  in  these  highly  organized  days 
must  be  my  excuse.  And  so,  in  concluding, 
let  me  repeat  that  not  to  those  before  me  do 
I  address  myself,  but  to  those  beyond  the  walls 
of  this  hall.  To  those  who  by  their  inactivity 
menace  not  only  their  own  future,  but  that 
^of  their  brothers  and  sisters,  who  have  waged 
the  good  'fight  for  the  correction  of  all  the 
evils  that  have  threatened  us  in  the  past  and 
still  continue  to  threaten. 

To  these  trade  associates  I  make  the  appeal, 
that  they  affiliate  with  their  National  Associa- 
tion, not  only  for  their  own  good,  but  also  to 
show  the  present  membership  that  they  realize 
and  appreciate  the  benefits  that  all  have  de- 
rived from  the  efforts  made  by  a  small  group 
of  brave  and  determined,  pentirtacious  and 
continuous  fighters  who  made  the  twenty-two 
year  record  of  the  Association. 


As  Ithers  See  Us 
By  A  Publisher's  Salesman 

Read  by  James  W.  Le  Galles  of  the  Philadelphia  "North  American' 


THE  book  specialists  with  whom  this 
paper  has  to  do  are  the  buyers  and  sellers 
of  books--the  professional  buyers,  the 
men  and  women  who  buy  books  from  the  pub- 
lishers' salesmen  for  the  retail  store,  and  the 
travelers  or  salesmen  who  sell  books  for  the 
publishers.  These  two  vital  forces  in  the 
distribution  of  books  must  meet  on  t!ie  basis 
of  mutual  good  will  and  common  understand- 
ing, but  this  paper  is  to  present  the  sales- 
man's side  of  it.  There  will  be  no  attempt 
to  make  reference  to  various  questions  in  an 
orderly  sequence— it  will  be  merely  a  haphaz- 
ard rambling  from  one  thing  to  another. 

A  frequent  source  of  annoyance  is  this:  A 
salesman  calls  on  a  buyer  with  a  well-defined 
and  fully-developed  selling  plan  in  connec- 
tion with  some  particular  title.  The  plan 
proposed  meets  with  the  approval  and  ac- 
ceptance of  the  buyer,  and  more  because  of 
the  selling  plan  than  because  of  the  title  of- 
fered, he  orders  a  larger  initial  quantity  than 
he  would  have  otherwise.  However,  the 
minute  the  salesmaii  is  out  of  sight  the  plan 
is  out  of  mind  and  is  never  tiiought  of  again. 


Finally  the  stock  of  this  title  comes  in  and 
is  put  on  the  counters  willi  everything  else. 
It  remains  there.  Ultimately  the  salesman  is 
accused  of  having  put  over  a  sticker.  This 
is  not  fair  to  the  salesman  who  has  done  his 
part.  The  responsibility  for  failure  is  clearly 
up  to  the  buyer. 

Book  buyers  generally  have  become  more 
methodical  in  handling  orders  given  to  the 
salesmen  than  they  used  to  be,  and  most  of 
them  have  some  good  plan  of  catalog  check- 
ing, but  there  are  many  who  have  no  plan  of 
checking  at  all — just  guess  at  it.  The  buyer 
who  does  have  a  rational  method  of  checking 
is  dear  to  the  hearts  of  salesmen.  The  fellow 
buyers  of  those  who  are  weak  in  this  re- 
spect will  no  doubt  be  glad  to  explain  their 
own  pet  method. 

Where  the  store  proprietor  also  does  the 
buying,  as  well  as  many  other  things  in  the 
conduct  of  his  business,  there  is  often  shown 
a  sad  lack  of  appreciation  of  the  value  of 
the  salesman's  time.  This  type  of  buyer  is 
a  source  of  much  complaining  when  "the 
boys"   foregather,  and  justifiably  so.     H  the

busy  men  and 
women  would  de- 
vise some  method 
to  handle  their 
work  and  the  sales- 
men in  turn— ne- 
glecting neither — ^a 
much  better  feel- 
ing would  prevail 
and  more  would  be 
accomplished. 

Considerable  crit- 
icism comes  from 
buyers  from  time 
to  time  about  the 
evident  lack  of  au- 
thority o  f  some 
salesmen  —  that 
either  they  exceed  their  powers  to  grant  con- 
cessions or  to  straighten  out  questions  in  dis- 
piute,  or  else  their  houses  will  not  back  up  their 
agreements.  No  well-intentioned  salesman, 
working  for  the  good  of  his  house  as  well  as 
for  the  good  of  his  customer,  will  object  to  a 
buyer's  insistence  that  all  special  agreements 
and  concessions  be  made  a  matter  of  written 
record  on  his  order.  This  question,  fre- 
quentl)^;  the  subject  of  discussion,  Will  be 
quickly  settled  if  every  buyer  insists  that 
every  agreement  with  the  salesman  be  plainly 
written  on  the  order  the  salesman  sends  to 
his  house. 

One  of  the  worst  habits  is  that  of  giving 
memorandum  orders  subject  to  later  confir- 
mation. This  happens  with  the  buyers  for 
some  department  stores — when  it  does  hap- 
pen. The  salesman  receives  the  memoran- 
dunl  order  and  sends  it  to  his  house  in  good 
faith.  The  publishing  house  receives  the 
order  in  good  faith,  and  many  times  estimates 
its  needs  for  future  delivery  on  the  basis  of 
a  collection  of  these  memorandum  orders. 
The  specified  date 
for  confirmation 
comes  along  in  due 
time.  Some  of  the 
orders  are  wholly 
confirmed  —  some 
half  confirmed — 
some  quarter  con- 
firmed, and  many 
of  them  are  never 
confirmed.  Usually 
no  explanation  is 
given  for  not  con- 
firming. Sometimes 
the  buyer  writes  to 
the  salesman,  and 
says:  "Sorry,  old 
man,  but  my  ap- 
priation  ran  out"  or 
WALTER  s.  LEWIS  "They  wouldn't  let 

me  put-  through  any   more   orders,"  or   "Our 


merchandise  man  cut  me  off,"  etc.,  etc.  Why 
give  these  alleged  orders  at  all?  How  much 
better  to  give  a  definite  and  confirmed  order  for 
actually  what  can  be  bought  and  used.  The  un- 
confirmed memorandum  order  helps  no  one 
— least  of  all  the  salesman, 

A  new  book  by  a  well-known  author,  with 
established  successes  as  a  matter  of  record, 
if  presented  for  sale  with  the  promise  of  an 
advertising  campaign  behind  it  (many  times 
without  such  promise),  will  nine  times  out  of 
ten  be  bought  by  buyers  in  liberal  quantities 
before  publication,  or  before  it  has  had  a 
chance  to  show,  but  the  book  by  a  new  and 
unknown  author  is  bought  lightly  or  turned 
down  entirely  nine  times  out  of  ten — regard- 
less of  its  intrinsic  merit  and  commercial  pos- 
sibilities. Yet  the  new  book  of  an  established 
author  often  flivvers  out  completely  while  that 
of  the  unknown  goes  tno  a  profitable  and 
successful   sale. 

The  New  vs.  the  Old 

The  buyers*  plaint  is  ever — bring  us  some- 
thing by  an  author  we  know.  The  salesman 
often  wonders  how  to  figure  it.  What  en- 
couragement has  his  house  to  risk  publication 
of  meritorious  books  by  unknown  authors  if 
the  buyers  continue  to  be — show  me  first? 
And  don't  misconstrue  this  as  being  a  brief 
against  the  exploitation  and  sale  of  a  meri- 
torious book  by  an   established   author. 

The  temperamental  and  persistent  appoint- 
ment-breaker is  the  bane  of  every  salesman's 
existence.  An  appointment  for  next  Tues- 
day at  2  p.m.  may  mean  something,  nothing 
or  anything.  Next  Tuesday  rolls  around  and 
the  salesman  sits  in  his  room  patiently  await- 
ing the  arrival  of  his  promised  customer.  A 
half  hour  passes  and  no  Mr.  or  Miss  Buyer 
appears — ^then  the  salesman  is  on  the  phone 
asking  if  Mr.  or  Miss  Dilatory  is  in.  "He 
ain't  here"  and  a  hang  up  is  all  he  gets  for 
his  trouble.  An  hour  passes,  then  two  hours, 
and  then  the  afternoon  is  gone.  In  the  mean- 
time frequent  recourse  to  the  phone  with  al- 
ways the  same  result.  Maybe  in  a  day  or 
two,  or  in  a  week  or  so,  the  salesman  man- 
ages to  connect  with  this  particular  buyer 
again.  This  is  usually  what  ensues— "Did  I 
have  a  date  with  you?"  or  "I  never  made  an 
appointment  with  you!"  or  "Gosh!  I  forgot 
all  about  it!"  etc.,  etc.  It  is  hoped  that  this 
will   reach  the  guilty. 

Standing  the  Traveller  Off 

The  procrastinator  is  almost  as  bad.  This 
is  the  type  of  b'lyer  who  always  wants  to 
put  the  salesman  oflf  until  some  other  time. 
"Oh,  I'll  see  you  the  next  time  you  come 
around"  or  "I'm  too  busy  to  see  you  today" 
or  "Can't  see  you  this  week.  Have  a  sale 
on,"  or  "I'm  not  ready  to  buy  now."     When 


May  20,  1922

the  salesman  calls  in  August  he  is  told,  "See 
me  in  October."  When  he  calls  in  October 
he  is  then  told— I'Tm  sorry,  but  I'm  all 
bought  up  and  can't  get  another  dollar  thru." 
There  are  not  many  of  him  and  licr — thank 
goodness,  but  enough  of  them  to  cause  fret 
and  worry  out  of  all  proportion  to  their  act- 
ual importance. 

All  salesmen  like  to  talk  with  the  store 
salesfolk  with  the  idea  that  if  they  can  tell 
something  about  their  own  particular  books  it 
will  help  the  retail  selling.  This  is  a  good 
plan  from  the  view  point  of  the  salesmen,  and 
many  buyers  agree  and  encourage  the  prac- 
tice. On  the  contrary,  some  buyers  object 
and  will  not  permit  it.  Salesmen  who  de- 
sire to  accomplish  more  than  merely  to  sell 
a  bill  of  goods  believe  that  the  buyers  who 
object   are   taking   a    shortsighted    view    of   it. 

The  general  attitude  of  the  present  day 
salesman  is  to  sell  his  customer  constructive- 
ly— to  give  him  workable  ideas  to  help  in 
turn  sell  the  books  he  is  buying.  The  old 
time  idea  of  loading  up  a  susceptible  buyer 
w'th  all  he  would  stand  for  in  one  big  order 
is  a  thing  of  the  past.  With  few  excep- 
tions the  salesman  of  today  realizes  that  a  de- 
veloping account  growing  larger  and  larger 
year  by  year  is  a  much  better  proposition  to 
all  concerned  than  one  or  two  big  orders. 
This  is  the  method  behind  the  work  of  the 
wise  saksman,  and  the  buyers  are  mt-eting 
him  on  this  basis.  For  the  buyer  this  plan 
of  buying  means  increased  turnover;  for  the 
salesman  and  his  house  a  larger  and  better 
account.  The  unreconstructed  buyer  who  fails 
to  see  the  value  of  this  plan  is  not  getting  an 
adequate  turnover.  On  the  contrary  he  is  a 
constant  sufferer  from  the  overstock  malady, 
If  the  point  is  not  understood  any  clever  sales- 
man will  gladly  explain   it. 

The  Traveller   Has   His  Troubles 

Every  salesman  in  the  trade,  if  he  has 
learned'  his  business  at  all,  has  a  sympathetic 
understanding'  of  the  trials,  troubles  and 
tribulations  that  beset  every  buyer,  but  it  is 
a  question  if  every  buyer  has  the  same  ap- 
preciative understanding  of  the  hundred  and 
one  difficult  problems  confronting  the  sales- 
man. The  buyer  is  inclined  to  consider  only 
the  sunny  side  of  the  .salesman's  life— his 
apparent  freedom  from  all  restraint,  the  surf- 
ace indications  that  he  has  hours  upon  hours 
and  oodles  of  time  to  use  at  will.  What  the 
buyer  does  not  generally  comprehend  are  the 
vicissitudes   of   travel,  the  catching  of  trams. 


the  run-ins  with  the  brow-beating,  lordly  and 
independent  hotel  clerks,  the  baggagemen's 
habit  of  mislaying  sample  trunks,  the  daily 
longing  to  be  home  with  the  wife  and  kiddies ; 
not  to  stress  the  fact  that  many  of  the  sales- 
men calling  on  him  are  being  directed  in  their 
activities  by  some  sales-promotion  genius,  who 
loads  him  to  the  guards  with  instructive  de- 
tails, impractical  plans,  daily  jazz  letters,  much 
adverse  criticism,  and  what  not.  When  in- 
clined to  blame  the  salesman  for  all  poor  buy- 
ing guesses  do  give  his  side  of  it  some  con- 
sideration. 

As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  comradeship  ex- 
isting between  the  buyers  and  sellers  in  the 
book-trade  generally  is  a  very  beautiful  thing 
indeed,  and  the  harmonious  endeavor  to  play 

each  other's  game 
on  a  fifty-fifty  basis 
is  rarely  absent 
from  their  com- 
mercial contact.  In 
these  days  when 
the  financial  re- 
wards for  work 
well  and  success- 
fully done  are 
greater    than    ever 


before  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  trade, 
it  is  a  recognized 
fact  that  the  hu- 
man side  of  the 
book  business  is  as 
essential  a  part  of 
it  as  the  commer- 
cial. 

There  are  really  john  g.  kidd 

no  misunderstand- 
ings, in  the  larger  sense,  between  the  buyers  and 
sellers  in  the  book  business.  All  are  impelled 
with  the  desire  to  go  forward  and  succeed,  and 
to  go  forward  and  succeed  honestly,  fairly  and 
in  the  friendliest  spirit — helping  one  another  to 
make  the  best  business  in  the  world  a  bigger, 
better,  happier  and  more  prosperous  business. 

Mr.  Le  Gallez  :  For  myself  I  would  first 
like  to  say  that  I  am  mighty  glad  to  be  here, 
and  I  tliink  in  saying  that  I  also  voice  the 
sentiments  of  all  the  newspaper  representatives 
who  are  with  us. 

Mr.  Herr  referred  to  a  humorous  and  genial 
salesman.  The  only  reason  that  I  was  reading 
this  paper  is  because  it  was  written  by  a 
shrinking  violet.     [Laughter.]

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Morning  Session — Wednesday,  May  10th 

The  meeting  was  called  to  order  at  10:15  by  Eugene  L.  Herr,  President 

President  Herr  :    The  business  this  morning  offering  boolks  as  premiums  with  magazine  suib- 

is  the  Report  of  the  Chairman  of  the  Special  scriptions.     This  report  will  be  made  by  Mr. 

Committee  appointed  by  the  Board  of  Trade  to  Wilson,  of  McDevitt-Wilson's,  Inc.,  New  York

Report  on  Offering  Books  as  Premiums 
By  Ralph  Wilson 

Chairman  of  Committee  Appointed   by   Board  of  Trade. 


LAST  September— -September  1921— <the 
Board  of  Trade  appointed  a  Special  Com- 
mittee to  look  into  the  proposition  of  books 
being  offered  as  premiums  with  magazine  sub- 
scriptions. This  being  so  near  to  the  holiday 
season,  and  dealers  making  preparation  for  the 
coming  season,  nothing  was  done,  but  in  the 
following  January — January  of  this  year — we 
started  a  little  campaign  of  inquiry  to  see  what 
the  opinion  of  the  booksellers  thruout  the  land 
was. 

We  sent  out  a  letter  and  we  had  many  per- 
sonal interviews  with  different  booksellers,  and 
it  seemed  to  be  the  consensus  of  opinion  that 
this  offering  of  books  as  premiums  with  maga- 
zines was  advantageous  to  the  bookseller. 

In  February,  the  statement  headed  "Stop- 
Look-Listen,"  also  footed  "Stop-Look-Listen," 
was  issued  and  it  appeared  in  the  Publishers' 
Weekly  of  February  25th,  and  in  the  Book- 
seller and  Stationer.  Probably  most  of  you 
have  read  this.  At  first  I  was  only  going  to 
read  a  part  of  it,  but  the  powers  that  be  said 
I  had  better  read  all  of  it.  It  will  take  only 
a  few  minutes,  and  I  will  read  all  of  it  : 

[The  report  will  be  found  printed  in  full 
in  the  Publishers'  Weekly  of  February  25th 
1922,  Page  493-494.] 

Encouraged  by  the  Magazines 

At  that  time,  and  since,  a  number  of  ad- 
headings  have  been  used  that  are  rather  sig- 
nificant, and  I  have  chosen  three  of  them  on 
which  I  would  like  to  ask  this  question  : 
Would  it  not  appear  that  these  tend  to  per- 
suade the  public  that  the  bookseller  is  profiteer- 
ing? In  the  case  of  "Ouiiine  of  History/' 
across  the  top  of  the  page  in  large  figures  it 
says  "fifty  per  cent  reduction.''  In  the 
Ladies  Home  Journal  of  March,  1922,  "Let  us 
make  you  a  present  of  these  books^ — cost 
free  to  you/'  included  "The  Obstacle  Race," 
"Alice  Adams,"  "The  Girls."  In  the  Literary 
Digest,  of  February,  1922,  the  slogan  is  as 
follows:  "free,  a  special  edition  of  Wood- 
row  Wilson  as  i  know  him." 

Robert  Louis  Stevenson  has  said  something 


like  the  following:  "The  world  is  full  of  a 
number  of  things,  and  I  am  sure  we  should  all 
be  as  happy  as  kings."  Somebody  else  has 
given  us  something  like  the  following : — I  pre- 
sume it  is  a  complaining  bookseller — "Life  is 
just  one  doggone  thing  after  another" — only 
he  didn't  say  'doggone.'      (Laughter.) 

The  feeling  in  this  matter  is  only  friendly 
on  the  part  of  the  bookseller,  I  don't  believe 
in  blame  or  antagonism.  I  don't  want  to  seem 
antagonistic.  I  don't  want  to  seem  to  be  dis- 
pensing any  gloom,  but  I  think,  since  we  have 
the  subject  up,  we  ought  to  talk  about  it.  We 
ought  to  call  a  spade  a  spade,  and  find  out 
whether  we  are  right  or  whether  we  are 
wrong. 

Arguments   of   the   Publishers 

This  practice  is  either  right  or  it  is  wrong. 
It  is  fair  or  it  is  unfair.  It  is  businesslike 
or  it  is  unbusinesslike.  Some  of  the  argu- 
ments of  the  publishers  follow  : 

In  the  first  place,  they  say  it  gives  them  a 
greater  outlet,  an  outlet  the  bookseller  could 
not  possibly  give  them.  It  may  be  true,  and 
probably  is  true.  For  example,  we  take  a 
group  of  booksellers  in  a  city  such  as  Wash- 
ington, and  pick  out  the  leading  booksellers 
who  are  dealing  in  the  current  books,  and 
they  all  maintain  the  price  but  one.  This 
one  happens  to  be  an  important  bookseller. 
He  advertises  to  his  customers,  he  fills  his 
windows  with  books  at  reduced  prices,  he 
gives  the  matter  a  great  deal  of  publicity. 
Wouldn't  it  naturally  follow  that  he  would 
be  a  greater  outlet  and  he  would  sell  more 
books  by  that  method? 

Another  argument  is  that  the  bookseller  by 
this  publicity  will  be  able  to  sell  more  books 
than  he  would  without  it.  The  question  is,  is 
that  true? 

Another  argument  is,  in  some  cases,  that  only 
the  older  books  of  different  authors  are  offered, 
thereby  stimulating  a  book  that,  comparatively 
speaking,  has  become  an  old  book.  But  in 
this  connection  we  are  not  offered  any  better 
discounts  on  these  older  books,  we  have  to  pay 
the  same  price  for  the  older  books.    We  don't

receive  any  better  discount  on  "Ben-Hur"  to- 
day than  we  do  on  the  latest  novel. 

A  bookseller  in  New  York  last  Christmas 
sent  out  a  Christmas  card,  which  I  believe 
was  reproduced  in  the  Publishers'  Weekly, 
and  part  of  it  read  something  like  this :  "Com- 
petition is  the  life  of  business,  but  cooperation 
is  the  business  of  life."  We  are  asked 
by  the  publishers  or  their  representatives,  by 
letters,  etc.,  from  time  to  time,  and  all 
the  time,  to  stock  the  books— that  is 
natural.  They  want  us  to  maike  window  dis- 
plays— that  is  quite  all  right.  In  fact,  these 
are  all  privileges  to  us  and  we  want  to  co- 
operate. They  want  us  to  send  out  imprinted 
circulars.  They  want  us  to  send  out  special 
letters.  They  want  us  to  attempt  to  educate 
our  sales-force  so  they  may  know  something 
about  what  is  inside  of  their  books,  and  can 
explain  to  the  prospective  customer  and  thereby 
effect  more  sales.  Now  this  is  called  coopera- 
tion. 

Well,  I  should  like  to  ask — is  this  offering 
of  books  as  premiums  v^ith  magazines  coopera- 
tion ? 

Three  Remedies  Suggested 

There  is  another  thing  that  has  been  sug- 
gested that  would  happen.  I  think  it  speaks 
of  it  in  this  "Stop-Look-Listen"  letter  I  have 
just  read.  What  will  the  store  buyer  say 
when  offered  an  important  book  by  the  pub- 
lisher?— we  will  say  a  book  at  $5;  and  a 
previous  book  of  this  publisher  shortly  after 
publication  was  offered  as  a  premium  with  a 
magazine  subscription.  The  question  is,  will 
not  this  buyer  say — "Well,  I  don't  know  what 
you  are  going  to  do  about  this.  I  have  no 
assurance  that  you  are  going  to  offer  this  or 
let  it  be  offered  as  a  premium  with  a  magazine 
subscription.  I  will  give  you  an  order  for 
twenty-five  copies  and  not  one  hundred."  Or 
might  he  not  say,  "I  won't  buy  any  of  them. 
I  will  get  them  on  order."  The  salesman  will 
.say,  "Why?"  And  the  buyer  says,  "Well,  for 
the  same  reason." 

Now  there  are  three  ways  that  suggest  them- 
selves and  have  been  suggested  to  me — three 
ways   out  of  this  situation. 

First,  supposing  we  feel  that  nothing  should 
be  done,  we  simply  should  look  straight  at  the 
painful  truth  and  not  listen  to  the  siren  while 
she  transforms  us  into  bookkeepers — and  add, 
as  for  me,  give  me  the  liberty  of  a  healthy 
book  business  or  I  will  be  inclined  to  go  into 
radio  or  the  movies. 

The  second  is  merely  a  suggestion  on  a 
supposition.  It  is  not  recommended,  and  of 
course,  won't  be  done,  but  it  shows  the  possi- 
bility. It  is  not  a  threat.  Suppose  we  say, 
"All  right,  two  can  play  at  this  game.  Let  us 
go.     We   will   cut   prices  too.     The  next   im- 


portant book  that  comes  out,  say  it  is  published 
at  $5,  we  will  immediately  put  a  sign  in  the 
window,  in  large  figures,  and  advertise  it  at 
$4."  What  will  happen?  The  publishers  very 
likely  will  jump  on  us  with  both  feet,  and 
justly  so.  And  if  it  is  kept  up  and  others  fall 
in,  demoralization  of  prices  will  result  and  we 
will  all  be  in  the  stew.  But  we  do  not  want  to 
return  to  those  conditions. 

The  third  way  is,  we  can  stand  together  as 
lx>oksellers  and  steadily  protest  against  this, 
provided  we  believe  it  isn't  right  and  fair.  I 
feel  sure  that  we  will  win  out  in  the  end  if  we 
'Stand  together  and  stick  to  it.  If  we  will 
stand  up  on  our  hind  legs  and  say,  "Look  here, 
you  know  this  isn't  fair,  you  kiiow  this  isn't 
businesslike.  Why  not  play  the  game?  It 
makes  no  difference  how  much  energy  we  put 
into  our  business,  we  cannot  possibly  compete 
against  this  competition  unless  we  are  given 
lower  discounts  at  the  time." 

Now,  I  started  out  by  saying  I  didn't  want 
to  appear  antagonistic  or  unfriendly.  I  do  not 
feel  unfriendly  to  the  publisher  whatsoever.  I 
might  go  so  far  as  to  say  I  love  the  publisher 
whether  he  cares  for  me  or  not,  and  I  hope 
during  this  session  that  in  the  discussion  some- 
thing will  be  brought  out  and  that  we  will  not 
remain  on  the  fence. 

President  Herr:  The  question  that  Mr. 
Wilson  has  just  discussed  is  one  of  the  vital 
issues  that  are  l>efore  the  Booksellers'  Associa- 
tion, and  we  will  take  a  few  moments  now  for 
discussion  from  the  floor. 

Mr.  Hotchkiss  (Portland)  :  I  think  the 
booksellers  should  express  them-selves  on  this 
subject.  We  should  not  go  away  from  here 
and  do  nothing  about  it.  The  practice  of  giving 
these  books  as  premiums  is  absolutely  wrong. 
It  is  inimical  to  all  of  our  interests.  I  think 
this  Association  should  take  some  definite  action 
at  this  time,  and  I  hope  that  these  men  here 
will  not  hesitate  to  express  themselves  freely. 

The  bookseller  is  now  said  to  be  a  profiteer 
anyway.  The  people  want  the  prices  of  books 
to  come  down.  .\nd  such  statements  as  made 
in  the  Ladies'  Home  Journal  will  tend  to 
show  that  to  the  public.  I  am  heartily  op- 
posed to  what  the  publishers  are  doing  in 
allowing  these  magazines  to  get  the  books  at 
prices  which  will  permit  a  price  cut  on  b  ok^ 
in  connection  with  subscriptions. 

Mr.  M.acaulev,  (Detroit)  :  Mr.  Chairman. 
I  move  that  we  refer  this  matter  to  the  Resolu- 
tions Committee,  empowering  them  to  draw  up 
a  resolution  covering  the  statement  made  by 
Mr.  Hotchkiss. 

[The  motion  was  seconded.] 

PhESiDENT  Hf:rr:  It  has  been  moved  and 
seconded  that  this  matter  be  referred  to  the 
Resolutions    Committee   with   power   to   draw 


1440 


The  Publishers'   Weekly 


up  a  resolution.  All  in  favor  will  give  their 
consent  by  saying  "aye,"  those  opposed  "no," 
It  is  so  ordered. 

Seeley  Conover  (Amsterdam)  :  I  think 
there  is  one  point  that  we  can  very  well  bring 
out  and  that  is  that  the  magazine  publishers 
feel  they  are  charging  too  much  for  their 
magazines  anyway  and  they  want  to  give  some 
of  it  back.     [Laughter  and  applause.] 

Mr.  Everitt  (Doubleday,  Page  &  Co.)  : 
May  I  make  this  suggestion?  I  do  this  after 
consultation  with  Mr.  Darrow,  of  Scribner's. 
I  think  it  is  rather  beside  the  point  to  debate 
the  question  on  this  floor,  because  the  assembly 
is  too  large,  but  I  do  make  a  suggestion. 
There  is  a  great  deal  to  be  said  about 
this  advertising  and  the  premium  business. 
It  is  a  very  small  thing  to  the  publisher  and 
of  no  advantage  to  us  particularly,  except  the 


vast  advertising  which  some  of  us  think  of 
real  value.  If  you  think  it  wise  I  would  sug- 
gest that  you  appoint  a  small  committee  which 
might  confer  with  a  small  committee  of  the 
publishers  so  that  we  can  go  into  the  matter 
more  thoroly,  marshal  the  facts  and  study  the 
whole  question. 

President  Herr:  That  is  a  very  excellent 
suggestion.  It  is  possible  that  there  may  be 
some  debate  on  this  proposition  in  the  Execu- 
tive Session  this  afternoon  when  the  Resolu- 
tions Committee  reports,  and  out  of  that  may 
grow  the  possibility  of  a  conference  commit- 
tee, following  the  convention. 

There  is  no  time  today  to  thoroly  thrash  out 
the  subject.  I  will  therefore  pass  on  to  the 
next  item  of  business,  and  will  ask  Mr.  Ward 
Macauley  to  make  bis  remarks  on  Year-Round 
Bookselling,  carried  over  from  Monday  after- 
noon's program. 


Year  Round  Bookselling 

From  the  Standpoint  of  the  Retailer 

By  Ward  Macauley 


IT  is  probably  safe  to  say  that  the  Year 
Round  Bookselling  Campaign  with  its  pro- 
gressive plans  formulated  by  the  committee 
and  carried  out  by  hundreds  of  booksellers 
thruout  the  country  marks  the  high  tide  thus 
far  of  cooperative  effort  to  bring  the  value  of 
books  more  directly  home  to  the  American 
public.  The  success  that  the  campaign  is 
achieving  indicates  that  the  book-selling  trade 
has  learned  the  lesson  that  the  best  results  are 
attained  by  working  together  and  has  become 
released  from  the  obsession  of  individual  store 
isolation.  The  lone  game  has  been  played  for 
many  years  with  indifferent  results.  Coopera- 
tive effort  seems  to  offer  greater  possibilities 
of  success.  If  we  continue  and  enlarge  upon 
these  well-organized  efforts  to  bring  books 
before  the  notice  of  the  public  at  all  seasons 
of  the  year,  we  will  go  far  and  we  will  be 
thrice  foolish  if  we  allow  our  interest  and 
activity  to  recede. 

The  committee's  work  and  plans  for  the 
future  have  been  admirably  outlined  by  Mr. 
Melcher.  His  report  certainly  reveals  great 
industry  and  initiative  on  the  part  of  the  com- 
mittee. We  are  assured  that  a  lot  oE  live 
stuff  will  issue  out  of  the  office  this  coming 
year,  but  a  large  portion  of  this  will  be  abso- 
lutely dead  unless  we,  as  booksellers,  work 
just  as  hard  to  put  it  into  effect,  as  the  com- 
mittee has  worked  to  get  it  ready.  Posters 
in  the  waste  basket  make  no  sales.  Easter 
greeting  bands  which  we  discover  two  weeks 
after  Easter  is  over  have  not  boosted  our  sales. 


In  short,  every  activity  of  the  committee  pre- 
supposes a  supplementary  activity  on  our  part 
Further  than  that,  the  committee  must  receive 
a  constant  stimulus  in  the  form  of  suggestions 
from  us.  We  are  in  the  field,  in  active  daily 
touch  with  conditions,  and  we  can  report  on  the 
success  of  the  plans  which  achieve  the  best  re- 
sults. A  scheme  which  we  have  worked  ad- 
vantageously in  our  own  business  should  be 
sent  on  to  the  committee  so  that  its  working 
may  become  general.  I  know  that  some  feel 
that  when  they  have  initiated  a  good  plan, 
they  have  a  right  to  retain  exclusive  use  of 
it  and  so  they  keep  what  they  term  their 
secrets  to  themselves.  This  might  be  a  justifi- 
able position  if  one  has  confidence  in  his 
monopoly  of  good  ideas,  but  it  is  obvious  that 
we  will  all  receive  from  a  general  contribu- 
tion of  workable  ideas  much  more  than  we 
can  possibly  contribute.  Let  us  be  liberal 
with  any  good  plans  we  have;  we  can  depend 
upon  a  return  a  hundred  fold. 

This  committee  does  well  to  emphasize  the 
value  of  books  as  gifts.  A  book  is  a  gift  that 
allows  the  giver  a  delicate  artistry  of  choice. 
If  your  friend  presents  you  with  a  novel  by 
Mrs.  Southworth,  you  have  a  very  vivid  illus- 
tration of  his  judgment  of  your  literary  taste, 
but  if  your  friend  presents  you  with  a  beau- 
tiful edition  of  Keats  or  Shelley,  ah,  how  he 
compliments  you  and  raises  you  in  your  own 
esteem!  Whether  it  be  Christmas  or  New 
Year's,  Easter,  Valentine's  Day,  Graduation 
season.  Birthday,  (Mother's  Day,  or  every  day,

a  book  can  be  found  that  is  just  the  thing  and 
that  can  be  purchased  for  a  tithe  of  what  an 
equally  suitable  present  in  most  other  lines 
costs.  The  playing-up  of  these  various  seasons 
may  well  enter  into  the  work  of  the  committee 
and  of  the  bookstore.  Every  such  season 
may  be  made  the  means  of  bringing  many  more 
people  into  our  stores  and  this  means  a  greater 
interest  in  books  and  more  sales.  The  con- 
tinued emphasis  upon  the  value  and  the  de- 
sirability of  books  as  gifts  is  certainly  needed. 
But  we  must  also  reveal  the  joy  of  person- 
ally purchasing  a  book  for  oneself.  It  is  as 
interesting  an  experience  to  meet  a  new  book 
as  to  meet  a  new  friend — by  new,  I  mean  one 
not  met  before.  We  must  preach  the  ministry 
of  books.  We  can  attack  this  problem  from 
many  angles.  There  is  the  book  for  recreation 
only ;  the  book  of  a  generally  instructive  char- 
acter; the  book  that  teaches  one  to  perform 
one's  specific  task  better;  the  book  that 
makes  a  holbby  more  delightful.  Every  man, 
every  woman,  every  child  needs  books.  It  is 
a  rare  person  that  cannot  be  made  to  feel  this 
need  from  some  one  of  the  angles  indicated. 
The  tired  buisiness  man  can  get  just  as  much 
diversion  from  a  thrilling  mystery  story  as  he 
can  from  a  musical  revue;  ijie  Review  of  Re- 
views is  more  worth  while  than  the  Winter  (Gar- 
den brand;  the  man  who  lacks  the  time  or 
money  to  travel  can  have  the  world  brought 
to  his  fireside  by  means  of  the  printed  page, 
there  is  no  trade  nor  profession  that  does  not 
have  a  literature  that  offers  short  cuts  to  pro- 
ficiency; the  man  with  a  hobby  is  obviously 
limiting  his  activities  and  his  joys  if  he  fails 
to  profit  by  the  experience  and  helpfulness 
of  others  who  are  treading  the  same  path. 
There  is  no  field  of  human  endeavor,  whether 
it  be  connected  with  our  gainful  occupations, 
or  with  our  hours  of  leisure  that  cannot  be 
made  finer,  more  interesting,  more  worth  while 
thru  books.  It  is  our  job  in  All  Year 
Round  Bookselling  to  persuade  people  of  the 
ioy  of  books  from  every  one  of  these  en- 
ticing angles. 

Supplement  the  Year  Round  Plans 

We  must  thoroly  join  in  working  with 
tiie  plans  that  the  committee  sends  to  us  but  we 
must  do  more  than  this — we  must  supplement. 
We  must  add  originality  and  initiative  to  co- 
operation. By  this  means  we  will  avoid  undue 
standardizations.  We  would  not  wish  to  be- 
come standardized  and  have  our  activities 
become  so  centralized  that  bookstores  the  coun- 
try orver  would  resemble  each  other  almost  as 
closely  as  chain  stores  do.  The  way  to  avoid 
such  a  tendency  is  to  supplement  the  activities 
planned  by  the  committee  by  an  uninterrupted 
flow  of  activities  individual  to  us.  We  must 
often  adapt  the  Year  Round  Plan  to  our  own 


particular  circumstances.  Sometimes  local  con- 
ditions make  another  time  more  suitable  for 
emphasizing  certain  books  than  the  time  sug- 
gested by  the  committee.  In  Detroit,  for  ex- 
ample, we  all  featured  books  for  the  home 
during  the  week  of  a  "Better  Homes"  Exposi- 
tion wtiich  occurred  earlier  than  the  time 
scheduled  in  the  committee's  outline. 

Books  That  Are  No  Books 

Charles  Lamb  refers  in  an  essay  to  what  he 
terms  "books  that  are  no  books"  and  cata- 
logs specifically  a  number  of  reference  works 
and  then  to  be  whimsical  includes  two  or  three 
pet  aversions,  among  them  Gibbons  and  Hume. 
He  calls  them  "things  in  book's  clothing"  and 
confesses  to  covet  their  luxurious  bindings  for 
his  own  ragged  veterans.  However  that  may 
be,  booksellers  can  well  make  good  use  of 
these  "books  that  are  no  books"  in  the  scheme 
of  all  Year  Round  Bookselling.  We  need  to 
devote  more  attention  than  we  do  to  the  selling 
of  all  manner  of  practical  books.  We  are 
suffering  from  an  obsession  in  favor  of  the 
new  book  which  we  seem  to  feel  we  are  under 
an  obligation  to  put  over.  Yet  it  is  probably 
true  that  a  comprehensive  display  of  diction- 
aries will  produce  more  sales  than  a  mass  ex- 
hibit of  some  novel  of  the  moment.  Cook 
books,  etiquette  books,  automobile  instruction 
and  route  books,  golf  books,  card-game  rules, 
parliamentary  law  books,  books  on  the  care  of 
infants,  fishing  books,  graduate  record  books, 
bird  guides,  flower  guides,  and  just  now  radio 
books,  and  a  whole  host  that  might  come 
under  the  classification  "books  that  are  no 
books"  because  they  are  not  in  the  field  of 
literature  are  never  the  less  bread  and  butter 
to  the  bookseller  and  should  play  a  prominent 
part  in  his  Year  Round  Bookselling  Campaign 
and  ought  to  share  in  window  and  table  dis- 
plays rather  than  to  be  drawn  from  obscure 
shelves  when  actually  demanded.  Without  giv- 
ing us  a  "Cook  Book  Week"  or  a  "Mend  your 
Manners  Week"  for  etiquette  books,  or  even 
making  a  special  occasion  for  any  of  these 
things,  the  Year  Round  Bookselling  Committee 
can  be  of  great  service  to  the  bookseller  by  pre- 
paring material  that  will  stimulate  sales  for 
all  these  practical  books. 

Special  Weeks 

The  special  week  can  be  very  easily  over- 
done. We  can  strongly  emphasize  Children's 
Book  Week  and  Religious  Book  Week,  but  it 
would  be  folly  to  add  to  the  list  with  the  great 
number  of  other  weeks  that  are  being  at- 
tempted: Soap  Week,  Honey  Week,  Blank's 
Bread  Week,  Silver  Week,  and  many  others. 
Few  of  these  special  weeks,  however,  have 
any  local  effective  work  put  behind  them.  We 
owe   it   to   any   good  idea   to   either  go   thru 


144^ 


The  Publishers'   IVeeklv 


with  it  or  leave  it  alone.  We  should  not 
usurp  a  good  plan — original  or  borrowed — and 
half  work  it.  To  advertise  that  the  week  of 
May  8th  is  such  and  such  a  week  and  do  noth- 
ing further  merely  adds  to  the  multip'licity  of 
special  weeks  without  really  awakening  public 
interest  in  the  product.  So  with  slogans — good, 
if  not  overdone.  "Say  it  with  Flowers"  was 
a  most  engaging  phrase  but  its  many  para- 
phrases are  unjustified.  It  was  somewhat 
astonishing  to  see  over  a  fish-market  the  cap- 
tion "Say  it  with  Shad." 

Ohildren's  Book  Week 

Probably  Children's  Book  Week  offers  one 
of  the  best  opportunities  for  influencing  Year 
Round  Bookselling.  We  can  do  something  tan- 
gible at  that  time  to  stimulate  public  interest 
greath^  in  better  books  for  children.  We  can  en- 
gage the  active  cooperation  of  many  influentiail 
persons  outside  of  our  own  ranks.  Librarians, 
school  authorities,  boy  scout  workers,  ministers 
and  other  church  leaders,  women's  clubs,  civic 
and  business  clubs,  will  all  gladly  work  with 
us  if  we  show  them  that  our  idea  is  not  merely 
to  sell  more  children's  books  but  to  arouse  a 
more  intelligent  interest  in  their  selection. 
This  incident  is  illuminating.  A  customer,  dur- 
ing the  holidays,  asked  for  a  new  novel  for  his 
brother.  He  insisted  on  the  salesman's  giving 
him  a  complete  summary  of  several  books  and 
only  made  his  choice  after  much  deliberation. 
He  went  thru  a  similar  procedure  in  select- 
ing other  books  for  adults.  Then  he  said,  "I 
want  two  books  for  a  girl  of  ten,  one  for  a 
boy  of  eleven,  and  one  for  a  boy  of  fourteen. 
Anything  will  do."  Children's  Book  Week  is 
intended  to  combat  the  "anything  will  do"  at- 
titude and  if  so  employed  will  recruit  hundreds 
of  voluntary  workers.  It  ought  soon  to  be 
possible  to  form  in  every  city  a  Children's 
Book  Week  Committee,  consisting  of  prominent 
public  persons  who  have  no  commercial  inter- 
est in  books.  Such  a  committee  was  formed 
in  Detroit  and  helped  materially  in  making 
Children's  Book  Week  effective.  Detroit  book- 
sellers organized  for  the  purpose  of  carrying 
on  Children's  Book  Week  and  utilized  these 
and  other  plans  for  the  purpose.  Announce- 
ments of  the  meaning  of  the  week  were  made 
by  several  hundred  ministers  and  by  the  presi- 
dents of  many  women's  cliAs;  talks  on  the 
importance  of  good  reading  for  children  were 
made  before  the  Rotary,  the  Vortex,  the  Lions 
and  similar  clubs;  newspapers  made  exten- 
sive editorial  comment;  the  schools  did  good 
work  in  bringing  die  week  before  the  children ; 
the  public  librarian  and  his  assistants  strongly 
co-operated  by  displays  of  books,  by  issuing 
lists  of  recommended  books,  by  visiting  the 
various  stores  and  aiding  in  choosing  books 
for  display,  by  an  article  on  the  subject  in  the 


periodical  Library  Service  and  in  may  other 
ways.  More  pretentious  window  displays  of 
children's  books  were  made  than  are  usually 
to  be  seen  even  at  the  holidays.  A  scenario 
was  written  and  a  movie  produced  that  was 
seen  on  the  screens  by  many  thousands.  In 
the  story  a  little  girl  asked  her  father  for 
money  to  buy  a  book.  He  impatiently  put  her 
aside  saying  he  was  too  busy  to  bother.  The 
next  night  he  came  home  bringing  a  business 
friend  to  dinner.  To  his  consternation  he 
found  his  little  girl  reading  a  paper-covered 
book  of  the  trashiest  variety,  bought  with  her 
own  money.  The  business  man  heeded  the 
lesson  and  in  the  final  picture  we  see  the  little 
girl  surrounded  by  good  books  in  good  edi- 
tions. A  prize  drawing  in  our  juvenile  de- 
partment aroused  much  interest.  Children 
visiting  the  department  during  the  week  were 
invited  to  write  their  names  on  slips ;  these 
slips  were  duly  deposited  in  a  box  and  on 
Saturday  afternoon,  Edmund  Vance  Cooke,  the 
children'is  poet,  drew  the  names  of  the  lucky 
winners,  each  of  whom  received  a  handsome 
book.  The  department  was  thronged  with 
eager  children  during  this  ceremony,  and  the 
unlucky  ones  were  consoled  by  having  the 
opportunity  of  clasping  the  hand  of  one  of 
their  favorite  writers.  Other  stores  en- 
gineered other  activities  and  altogether  Chil- 
dren's Book  Week  aroused  a  great  deal  of 
very  favorable  comment.  Mrs.  Alfred  J.  La- 
Belle  served  as  secretary  for  the  work  and 
efficiently  put  into  operation  the  various  plans 
which  the  Committee  of  Booksellers  had 
agreed  upon  as  practicable.  Children's  Book 
Week  is  full  of  fruitful  promise  for  those 
who  do  not  expect  to  plant  and  harvest  the 
same  day  and  who  wiill  wholeheartedly  work 
with  these  interested  in  more  intelligent  selec- 
tion of  reading  for  the  young.  It  is  the  year's 
finest  opportunity  for  the  bookstore  to  reveal 
itself  as  a  public  institution  with  a  service- 
giving  spirit.  Similar  plans  should  also  prove 
effective  during  Religious   Book  Week, 

Displaying   Books  at   Public   Exhibitions 

The  public  exhibition  is  a  field  that  offers 
aid  in  achieving  Year  Round  Bookselling.  We 
are  so  immersed  in  books  that  we  often  fail 
to  realize  that  we  are  surrounded  by  thou- 
sands of  people  who  do  not  know  that  books 
can  have  any  interest  or  value  to  them.  Such 
persons  rarely  visit  bookstores.  The  problem 
is  to  get  the  idea  of  books  and  reading  into 
their  minds.  A  way  to  do  this  is  to  get  books 
where  they  will  see  them  and  be  able  to  handle 
them.  At  public  exhibitions,  a  suitable  dis- 
play of  books  will  present  the  idea  of  reading 
in  a  tangible  way  to  many  who  are  not  ordin- 
arily touched  by  it.  During  the  recent  Radio 
Show  in  Detroit,  we  made  an  exhibit  of  radio

books  with  encouraging  results.  Not  only  were 
more  than  sufficient  books  and  magazines  sold 
to  pay  the  expense  incurred,  but  the  idea 
that  books  can  be  a  practical  help  was  con- 
veyed in  the  most  effective  way.  In  a  cam- 
paign for  Year  Round  Bookselling  the  book- 
seller cannot  be  content  with  remaining  in  his 
store  and  letting  buyers  come  to  him.  He 
must  go  to  them  and  he  must  join  with  all 
the  other  agencies  which  are  trying  to  inter- 
est people  in  books  and  reading  and  which 
thru  many  activities  are  sending  customers 
to  his  store  every  day.  It  may  well  deserve 
the  attention  of  the  committee  to  consider 
plans  for  helping  booksellers  to  make  book 
exhibits  at  expositions,  conventions  and  other 
gatherings.  It  might  prove  wise,  where  large 
exhibits  are  necessary,  for  the  committee  to 
consider  the  possibility  of  undertaking  the 
work  itself. 

Universal    Children's    Book    Week 

All  these  activities  and  many  others  may  be 
profitably  employed  by  the  committee  and  by 
individual  booksellers  with  the  one  thought 
of  making  booiks  and  reading  constantly  more 
prominent  in  the  public  mind.  All  such  ef- 
forts will  be  well  repaid.  Perhaps  not  over- 
night but  in  the  future  for  which  we  are 
building.  We  should  aggressively  carry  out 
just  as  many  as  possible  of  the  plans  that  the 
committee  sends  to  us  and  we  should  add 
other  plans  and  campaigns  which  give  promise 
of  success  in  our  various  fields.  We  should 
stimulate  the  committee  by  suggestion  and  en- 
couragement. 

The  work  of  the  Year  Round  Bookselling 
committee  should  be  utilized  in  even  the 
smallest  towns.  Every  merchant  who  sells 
books  at  all  should  take  his  part  in  Children's 
Book  Week  and  should  use  the  aid  the  or- 
ganized plans  give  him  to  increase  whatever 
book  business  he  has.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that 
sufficient  funds  will  be  available  so  that  ma- 
terial for  booksellers  and  for  newspapers  may 
go  into  our  rural  and  small  town  communities 
for  interest  in  reading  needs  to  be  increased 
there  just  as  much  as  in  centers  served  by 
our  large  stores. 

Enthusiasm  Counts 

All  these  practical  things  will  help  us  greatly 
in  achieving  Year  Round  Bookselling,  but  the 
crowning  glory  of  our  task  will  lie  in  our 
love  of  our  work,  our  flaming  enthusiasm  for 
our  product  and  this  if  we  possess  it,  will 
prove  our  most  precious  asset  in  spreading 
the  love  of  books  to  others.  The  man  who 
cares  no  more  for  selling  a  book  than  a  jar 
of  cheese,  or  takes  no  interest  in  what  books 
he  sells,  to  whom  in  a  word  the  book  is  merely 
merchandise  and   nothing   more,   lacks   an   in- 


tangible but  very  real  and  immensely  impor- 
tant quality  that  will  help  him  greatly  in  the 
big  job  of  winning  the  American  public  to  an 
increased  understanding  of  the  joy  and  en- 
during value  of  reading.  The  enthusiasm 
that  flames  within  us  can  be  imparted  to 
others  but  it  cannot  be  successfully  simulated. 
No  stereotyped  plans,  however  excellent,  can 
take  the  place  of  this  secure  belief  in  the 
worth  of  our  work  but  the  two  working  hand 
in  hand  should  prove  to  be  the  proper  com- 
ibination  to  bring  about  that  greatly  to  be 
desired  object — ithe  successful  unremitting  sale 
of  booiks  thruout  the  Year. 

President  Herr:  The  question  of  Year- 
Round  Bookselling  is  open  now  for  discussion 
from  the  floor.  Very  briefly,  we  will  be  glad 
to  hear  from  anyone  as  to  his  impressions, 
reactions  or  suggestions.  The  remarks  will 
have  to  be  brief  but  we  will  be  very  glad 
to  hear  them. 

Mrs.  Morris  (Detroit)  :  Would  you  listen 
to  a  word  from  an  old-timer?  I  found 
that  in  my  work  I  was  helped  a  great  deal 
by  a  booklet  containing  the  dates  of  birth 
of  the  different  authors,  written  many  years 
ago  by  Mary  Fuller.  In  that  book  you  will 
find  the  birth  dates  of  all  the  prominent  authors. 
I  put  on  a  Shakespearian  display  one  time  in 
April,  which  was  very  helpful.  I  emphasized 
Shakespeare's  birthday  with  small  books,  I  had 
photographs  of  Shakespeare,  and  I  had  all 
the  various  editions  of  Shakespeare.  I  had 
one  full  window  display  of  Shakespeare  and  I 
sold  a  good  many  books.  I  started  it  on  the 
23rd  of  April  and  kept  it  for  an  entire  week. 
I  sold  a  lot  of  his  books  when  I  had  the  dis- 
play. 

Featuring  Author  Birthdays 
You  can  have  a  display  of  Burns  or  Keats, 
or  anyone  else.  It  doesn't  necessarily  have  to 
be  Shakespeare.  The  field  is  very  large.  The 
book  I  speak  of  is  a  fine  guide.  You  will 
find  it  in  most  any  library.  I  don't  remember 
the  title  of  it,  but  it  has  to  do  with  dates,  etc., 
of  famous  men.  I  have  found  it  a  wonderful 
help  in  my  experience.  Of  course,  I  am  an 
old-timer,  and  I  may  be  a  little  out-of-date — 
as  they  said  sometime  ago,  "a  little  disfigured 
but  still  in  the  ring."     [Applause.] 

President  Herr:  We  were  favored  yester- 
day with  a  visitation  from  several  statesmen, 
several  members  of  the  House.  Today  we  are 
favored  with  a  stateswoman,  Mrs.  Senator 
Keyes,  who  besides  being  the  wife  of  a  Sen- 
ator is  in  her  own  right  a  literary  woman, 
and  we  will  be  delighted  if  Mrs.  Keyes  will 
say  a  few  words  to  us.     [Applause.] 

Mrs.  Frances  Parkinson  Keyes:  With 
all    humility    of     spirit    I     come    to    say    a 


May  20,  1922

few  words  to  you  this  morning,  because  an 
author  has  got  to  convince  herself,  or  him- 
self that  there  is  something  inside  of  her  or 
him  that  is  worth  saying,  and  then  she  has  to 
convince  the  editor,  but  after  that  she  has  to 
convince  the  booksellers.  I  had  a  very  bitter 
experience  of  that  sort  this  fall  when  I 
was  sent  out  to  Buffalo  to  be  featured — as 
our  friends  meeting  downstairs  would  put  it — 
at  a  big  book  fair  in  Buffalo  where  they  had 
planned  to  have  me  more  or  less  on  exhibition, 
the  lion  or  perhaps  the  lioness  of  the  occasion. 
And  the  books  that  my  publisher,  Stokes,  had 
sent  out  for  me  to  autograph  for  that  occasion 
were  delayed  in  the  mails.  We  won't  make 
any  remarks  about  the  mail  system,  this  isn't 
the  time  for  that,  altho  I  could  say  a  good 
deal  about  it— anyway  the  books  were  delayed 
and  we  scoured  the  city.  After  a  prolonged 
search  we  unearthed  four  copies  of  a  book 
of  mme  which  had  been  out  less  than  three 
weeks.  We  sat  around,  with  a  panting  throng 
at  my  heels  and  in  front  of  me  waiting  for 
those  books  to  come  and  when  the  books  came 
from  Stokes  we  sold  twenty-five  in  twenty 
minutes,  and  if  we  had  had  a  hundred  we 
could  have  sold  them  in  an  hour. 

Encouraging  the  New  Author 

Now  I  wish  I  could  put  in  a  plea  to  the 
booksellers  to  give  the  beginner  or  the  near- 
beginner  some  kind  of  a  show.  I  don't  mean 
by  that  to  impoverish  yourselves  in  these  aw- 
fully hard  times  by  putting  in  big  orders  for 
a  person's  work  which  would  not  sell,  but  when 
the  supply  is  exhausted  to  renew  it. 

After  that  experience  in  Buffalo  I  did  a 
little  sleuthing  in  a  small  way  when  six  people 
in  one  day,  for  instance,  told  me  they  hadn't 
been  able  to  get  a  copy  of  my  book  in  the  city 
where  I  lived.  I  went  to  six  different  book- 
stores. In  those  six  different  bookstores  I 
foimd  just  two  copies  of  my  book. 

Now  I  know  that  wasn't  the  publisher's  fault, 
and  I  am  not  prepared  to  say  that  it  was  the 
booksellers'  fault,  but  can't  you  give  us  a 
chance  ? 

In  politics  when  a  man  begins  to  show  a  little 
spark  of  possibility  he  gets  some  cooperation 
—not  for  his  sake,  we  are  much  too  selfish 
for  that— but  for  the  sake  of  the  other  people 
who  are  going  to  deal  with  him.  And  can't 
you  renew  in  a  very,  very  small  quantity  the 
book  of  a  new  author  when  a  demand  comes 
in?  I  really  think  that  we  would  cooperate 
with  you  to  such  an  extent  that  you  wouldn't 
be  sorry  in  the  end.     I  know  I  will. 

I  feel  that  you  and  I— and  when  I  say  you 
and  I,  I  mean  this  chain,  the  booksellers  the 
publishers,  the  editors  and  the  authors-have 
got  in  our  hands  today  the  very  biggest  piece 


of  work  that  exists  in  the  world. 

I  have  been  to  a  number  of  c(Mifereiices 
lately.  I  am  able  to  go  to  a  good  many  in  my 
official  capacity.  When  I  am  not  allowed  to 
go  officially  I  go  as  press,  which  I  enjoy 
very  much,  indeed.  The  last  one  I  went  to 
was  the  big  Pan-American  Conference  in 
Baltimore.  It  was  a  very,  very  wonderful 
conference,  indeed,  and  I  was  fortunate  enough 
while  I  was  there,  to  have  a  whole  hour  alone 
with  Lady  Astor.  Usually  when  I  hear  a 
great  deal  about  a  woman  or  a  man  before- 
hand  I    am  disappointed   when   I   meet   them. 

A  Plea  to  American  Women 

But  she  came  up  to  every  expectation. 
I  had  been  very  much  interested  in  various 
welfare  measures  that  had  been  taking  place 
in  the  Senate — ^she  said,  "Mrs.  Keyes,  the  very 
last  thing  I  say  is  to  urge  American  women 
to  go  and  work.  Too  many  women  in  America 
are  just  sliding  over  the  surface  and  imagin- 
ing they  are  working.  They  have  a  wonderful 
chance  and  if  they  would  only  dig  down  to 
rock  bottom,  there  is  nothing  that  the  Ameri- 
can woman  and  man  can't  do." 

I  believe  that  is  true,  and  I  beheve  that  we 
have  got  the  biggest  piece  of  work  of  all. 
Where  nothing  else  on  earth  goes,  where  no 
music  goes,  where  no  pictures  go,  the  printed 
pages  go,  and  you  and  I  are  helping  to  send 
them  there.  It  is  a  perfectly  wonderful  piece 
of  work,  a  wonderful  asset,  a  great,  great 
source  of  x>ower  and  service  and  a  help  to 
humanity. 

We  have  got  it  in  our  hands  to  do  the  very 
best  we  can  with,  and  I  think  there  is  nothing, 
if  we  all  get  together  on  it,  that  we  cannot  do. 
We  can  pretty  nearly  control  the  destinies  of 
the  universe  if  we  all  work  together  now.  I 
don't  think  there  is  anything  that  expresses  it 
better  than  a  little  poem  by  Sir  Henry  Van 
Dyke.  I  hope  it  will  mean  at  least  a  little  to 
some  one  here  because  it  has  meant  so  much 
to  me.     It  is  about  work. 

In  Praise  of  the  DaUy  Task 

When  I  began  to  ply  my  nefarious  trade  in 
an  attic,  because  my  family  made  such  great 
fur  of  me,  I  had  to  work  on  a  typewriter 
which  dated  back  to  the  days  of  the  Civil 
War,  because  a  real  typewriter  had  to  be  saved 
for  work  that  really  mattered.  It  was  about 
as  big  as  a  Ford  and  it  seemed  as  tho  it  had 
seen  about  fifty  years  of  hard  service.  The 
hired  man  on  our  farm  helped  me  put  it 
together  so  that  I  could  actually  write  on  it, 
and  behind  closed  doors  in  a  place  that  was 
dam  hot  in  summer  and  dam  cold  in  winter, 
I  hammered  out  the  first  things  I  wrote.  They 
came  back  and  came  back,  and  to  this  day  I

The  Publishers*  Weekly 


cannot  look  a  fat  commercial  envelope  in  the 
face  without  having  an  awful  sinking  feeling 
somewhere,  because  I  remember  what  it  used 
to  mean.     [Laughter.] 

I  have  heard  about  authors  who  immediately 
earned  $1000  on  the  first  things   they   wrote, 
but,  like  other  people's  wonderful  cooks,  and 
other  people's  wonderful  children,  I  have  never 
seen  them — I  have  a  large  family  and  they  are 
(pretty  fine  children,  but  they  are  not  perfect — 
and  I  haven't  discovered  that  work  is  ever  easy 
or  ever  perfect,  but  still  it  is  magnificent. 
"Let  me  but  do  my  work  from  day  to  day, 
In  (field  or  forest,  at  the  desk  or  loom. 
In   roaring  market   place   or  quiet   room; 
Let  me  but  find  it  in  my  heart  to  say 
When  vague  wishes   beckon   me  astray, 
This  is  my  work,  my  blessing,  not  my  due. 
Of  all  who  live,  I  am  the  one  by  whom 
This  work  can  best  be  done  in  the  right  way. 
Then  shall  I  see  it  not  too  great  nor  small 
To   suit   my   spirit   nor  to   prove   my   powers, 
Then    shall    I    cheerfully    meet    the    laboring 

hours. 
And  cheerfully  turn  when  the  dark  shadows 

fall  at  eventide. 
To  love  and  play  and  rest, 
Because  I  know  for  me  my  work  is  best." 
[Applause.] 

President  Herr:  Miss  Marion  Dodd,  our 
Second  Vice  President,  has  something  to  say 
at  this  time. 

Marion  Dodd:  Mr.  Nye  has  asked  me  to 
read  this  letter  which  I  wrote  him  a  few  days 
ago,  bringing  up  something  which  I  think  we 
are  all  interested  in: 

Hampshire  Bookshop,   Inc., 
Northampton,  Massachusetts,   May  3,    1922. 
Mr.  Simon  Nye, 
c/o  S.  Kann  &  Sons  Co. 
Washington,   D.   C. 
My  dear  Mr.  Nye: 

A  short  time  ago  you  asked  booksellers  in  general 
to  bring  up  certain  subjects  for  discussion.  It  seems 
to  me  from  the  booksellers'  point  of  view  that  the 
question  of  publishers'  date  ought  to  be  discussed  quite 
thoroly  and  some  action  taken  in  requesting  the  pub- 
lishers to  put  approximate  dates  of  publication  in  their 
advertisements  throughout  the  newspapers  and  maga- 
zines. In  many  cases  they  are  actually  cutting  down 
the  sale  of  a  book  by  advertising  so  far  in  advance 
that  people  are  convinced  that  it  is  out  and  will 
not  believe  any  bookseller  when  he  states  that  it  is 
not  yet  published.     Quite  naturally,  I  think. 

The  result  is  that  the  friends  of  an  advertised  book 
are  more  and  more  disgusted  as  they  go  from  shop  to 
shop  without  finding  it,  and  when  they  finally  do  obtain 
the  book  theyf  think  that  all  the  other  bookshops  have 
been  slow  in  obtaining  stock  or  else  did  not  know 
what  they  were  talking  about.  Now  that  conditions 
of  manufacturing  have  changed,  it  seems  to  me,  that 
It  ought  to  be  possible  for  publishers  to  approach  the 
dates  announced  for  publication  and  those  who  are 
not  announcing  dates  should  be  requested  to  give  full 
details  to  the  bookseller. 

Very  truly   yours, 

(.signed)    Marion   Dodd, 
Hampshire  Bookshop,  Inc." 

President  Herr:     The  discussion  of  Year- 
Round  Bookselling  was  cut  rather  short,  and 
before  I  pass  on  to  the  next  item  I  want  to 


give  you  an  opportunity.  Has  anyone  anything 
to  say  on  the  work  of  the  Year-Round  Book- 
selling Committee? 

Mr.  Seeley  Conover  (Amsterdam,  New 
York)  :  Mr.  Chairman,  I  would  like  to  speak 
on  this  matter,  especially  to  the  younger  mem- 
bers of  the  Booksellers.  If  you  want  to  become 
a  power  in  your  community  and  want  to  be 
known,  if  you  are  called  on  in  a  municipal  way, 
to  serve  your  city  or  your  town,  don't  turn 
the  call  down.  Remember  that  you  can 
serve  your  community  municipally  as  well  as 
you  can  in  anything  else,  if  you  will,  and  the 
way  you  can  maintain  your  position  is  to  play 
the  game  square  where  you  are  or  in  whatever 
you  undertake.  If  you  do  what  your  good 
will  dictates  you  to  do  in  your  community, 
you  won't  lose  one  dollar's  worth  of  trade. 
That  pertains  to  merchants  generally.  They 
are  a  cowardly  class  when  it  comes  to  standing 
up  before  their  people  and  saying  what  they 
think  is  right  and  what  they  think  is  wrong, 
sticking  to  it  and  letting  everybody  know  it. 
You  can  be  popular  in  serving  your  munic- 
ipality and  you  should  do  it,  because  you  belong 
to  it.  You  owe  your  service  to  your  community 
in  that  way  as  much  as  you  do  in  bookselling. 
Now  that  is  the  message  that  I  want  to  bring 
to  the  younger  men  who  are  coming  up — don't 
be  afraid  of  entering  into  politics  if  you  will 
only  do  it  squarely. 

President  Herr:  The  committee  have 
placed  on  the  chairs  in  the  room  a  list  of 
slogans,  and  they  are  particularly  anxious  that 
everybody  consider  this  list  very  carefully  and 
send  in  a  vote  as  to  what  they  consider  the  best 
slogan.  This  is  very  important,  because  they 
want  to  get  the  opinion  of  as  many  people  as 
possible  on  the  most  valuable  slogan. 

Are  there  any  further  remarks? 

Mr.  Hotchkiss  (Portland,  Oregon)  :  Mr. 
President,  I  would  like  to  say  for  the  book- 
sellers that  had  they  known  Mrs.  Keyes  was 
to  be  in  the  city  'she  referred  to,  they  doubtless 
would  have  telegraphed  and  had  some  of  her 
books  there.  I  promise  that  if  she  will  come 
to  Oregon  we  will  wire  so  that  she  will  have 
a  large  stock  to  sell.     (Laughter.) 

President  Herr:  We  have  what  the  Com- 
mittee considers  a  valuable  suggestion  from 
one  of  our  veteran  booksellers,  John  R.  Ander- 
son. Mr.  Anderson's  paper  will  be  read  by 
Mr.  Estabrook. 

Mr.  John  R.  Anderson  (New  York  City)  : 
I  just  want  to  say  that  1  have  been  talking  for 
sixty-five  years— (I  have  been  talking  books  and 
I  am  rather  husky,  so  I  have  borrowed  my 
friend  Estabrook'?  oratorical  voice  to  read  a 
brief  paper  I  have  prepared.     (Applause.) 

Mr.  J.  Joseph  Estabrook:  I  am  very  glad, 
indeed,  to  do  this  for  Mr.  Anderson. 


Aiay  20,   192: 


1447 


A  Revival  of  Out  of  Print  Books 
By  Mr.  John  R.  Anderson 


THE  wide  sale  of  so-called  remainders — of 
books  for  which  leading  publishers  have 
no  longer  warrant  for  issuing  in  regular 
editions,  seems  to  indicate  that,  in  the  language 
of  Pope, 

"  'Tis  pleasant  sure  to  see  one's  name  in  print, 

A  book's  a  boolk,  altho  there's  nothing  in  't." 
That  is,  if  the  price  be  low  enough.  Certainly 
that  must  be  the  ground  for  its  extended  sale 
in  the  case  of  many  titles  which  have  reached 
a  moribund  state  in  the  hands  of  the  publisher. 
The  wonder  is  that  there  was  ever  a  warrant 
for  its  original  issue,  unless  the  author  bore 
the  initial  expense  of  issue  and  simply  hired  a 
publisher's  name  for  the  title  page. 

It  is  believed,  however,  that  there  is  ground 
for  the  reissue  of  numerous  books  of  substan- 
tial merit  whose  sale  does  not  give  sufficient 
promise  to  their  publishers  to  warrant  continu- 
ing their  issue.  Many  such  books  have  the 
same  merit  that  led  to  their  original  publica- 
tion, but  with  a  catalog  containing  hundreds 
or  thousands  of  titles,  much  discrimination 
needs  to  be  observed.  Publishers  have  to  give 
their  principal  attention  and  energies  to  books 
of  recent  issue  in  which  considerable  amounts 
are  involved,  or  to  books  of  such  moderately 
active  demand  that  at  least  limited  editions  of 
500  to  1000  copies  are  warranted.  I  desire  to 
urge  that  if  a  group  of  25  to  50  enterprisng 
booksellers  thruout  the  country  would  join  in 
the  output  of  such  out-of-print  books,  or  books 
made  in  inferior  editions,  so  that  the  individual 
investment  was  nominal,  that  many  such  books 
could  in  the  aggregate  be  safely  made  and  a 
substantial  net  profit  secured  without  recourse 
to  remaindering  other  books  sold  at  so  much 
per  pound  or  square  foot. 

The  splendid  success  of  Grosset  &  Dunlap, 
and  Burt  in  the  reissue  of  10,000  to  100.000 
copies  of  once  "best  sellers"  by  a  change  in 
price  is  good  evidence  that  there  was  an  en- 
tirely new  clientele  for  scores  of  books  which 
had  about  run  their  course  at  reguFar  prices. 
I  could  point  to  at  least  three  titles,  where 
editions  of  500  to  2000  copies  of  books  listed 
at  $2.50  to  $10.00  have  been  made  and  sold  at 
practically  full  jobbing  prices  without  the 
active  co-operation  of  more  than  two  or  three 
other  dealers. 

The  general  proposition  is  that  such  a  group 


of  booksellers  as  I  have  outlined,  should  join 
in  the  making  of  a  limited  list  of  creditable 
books  by  simply  agreeing  to  take  a  moderate 
number  of  copies  of  such  a  selection  of  books 
as  they  agreed  in  advance  were  worthy  of  re- 
publication, either  from  existing  plates,  by  pay- 
ing a  royalty  to  the  present  owners,  or  by  re- 
setting where  warranted.  It  is  proposed  that 
no  investment  shall  be  demanded  beyond 
taking  ten  to  fifty  copies  of  the  books  "elected" 
to  be  made  by  the  group  taking  part  in  the 
arrangement,  the  price  to  be  practically  the 
cost  of  making,  plus  a  moderate  advance  on 
such  cost  to  the  central  headquarters  thru 
which  all  the  books  would  be  made  and  dis- 
tributed. No  obligations  would  exist  to  order 
any  book  or  books  for  which  the  individual 
bookseller  had  not  "voted,"  as  it  were,  nor 
would  any  book  be  made  unless  a  sufficient 
number  was  ordered  to  warrant  its  making. 

The  plan  would  be  to  submit,  periodically, 
titles  which  would  be  entertained,  with  the 
approximate  cost  to  the  dealer — suggestions 
being  always  invited  from  those  taking  part  as 
to  what  was  desirable  to  make. 

In  brief,  the  general  thought  is  to  place  each 
dealer  of  the  group  in  the  position  of  being 
part  of  the  "Booksellers'  Publishing  Company, 
Limited,"  as  it  were — the  limit  being  fixed  by 
the  dealer  taking  part. 

All  circulars  and  catalogs  of  description 
could  be  made  in  common,  with  notice  of  past 
and  forthcoming  issues  of  other  titles,  so  as  to 
minimize  overhead  expenses.  In  general,  it 
would  be  the  aim  to  make  no  more  copies  than 
were  ordered  in  advance  unless  it  was  found 
that  another  edition  was  warranted. 

Details  as  to  the  class  of  books  and  the 
titles  to  be  considered  would  be  subject  to  con- 
sideration if  the  general  purpose  of  the  enter- 
prise was  deemed  worthy  of  a  trial,  and  no 
obligation  beyond  future  individual  books  to 
be  made,  would  exist.     (Applause.) 

President  Herr:  If  there  are  no  objections, 
I  will  refer  both  of  these  suggestions  to  the 
Resolutions  Committee — Miss  Dodd's  sugges- 
tion and  this  one  by  Mr.  Anderson. 

We  have  a  belated  Committee  report  which 
was  not  turned  in  on  Monday  afternoon.  Miss 
Walker,  the  Chairman  of  the  Membership 
Committee,  will  make  her  report. 


1448  The  Publishers'  Weekly 

Report  of  Chairman  of  Membership  Committee 
By  Belle  M.  Walker 


YOUR  Chairman  of  the  Membership 
Committee  wishes  to  take  this  oppor- 
tunity of  thanking  the  members  of  the 
Membership  Committee  who  have  been  work- 
ing with  her  to  increase  the  membership. 
Among  those  who  have  worked  for  this  end 
are  J.  Joseph  Estabrook,  who  sent  out  1841 
membership  blanks  with  a  letter,  Mr.  Siler  and 
Mr.  Weasels,  who  made  a  personal  call  and 
gave  a  list  of  names  that  they  thought  eligible 
for  membership.  Particularly  interested  was 
Hulings  C.  Brown,  Chairman  of  the  New  Eng- 
land Membership  Committee. 

Early  in  the  year,  immediately  after  the  last 
convention,  Mr.  Brown  sent  out  an  excellant 
letter  to  every  possible  candidate  in  New  Eng- 
land calling  attention  to  the  theme  of  the 
convention,  enclosing  a  letter  with  the  roster 
and  a  copy  of  the  constitution,  and  he  also 
appended  ten  reasons  why  the  booksellers 
should  join  the  organization. 

The  total  number  of  members  from  the  New 
England  States  aggregates  75. 

During  the  last  year  the  New  York  mem- 
bership increased  from  117  to  135,  an  increase 
of  13  1/3%. 

In  the  State  of  Massachusetts,  Boston  leads 
with  28  members  and  Springfield  comes  next 
with  6. 

We  have  the  same  number  of  members  in 
Asia  and  in  France  as  we  have  in  Arkansas, 
Georgia,  Montana,  Nebraska,  New  Mexico, 
South  Dakota  and  Utah,  and  that  is  one  each. 
These  same  states  total  the  same  number  of 
members  as  there  are  in  the  District  of  Colum- 
bia, and  this  same  stupendous  number  of  seven 
totals  the  representation  of  each  of  the  follow- 
ing states:  New  Jersey,  Indiana,  and  Wis- 
consin. Here  is  another  instance  of  "East  is 
West." 

We  feel  like  asking  what  is  the  matter  with 
Arkansas,  Georgia,  Montana,  Nebraska,  New 
Mexico,  Soutn  Dakota,  which  are  only  repre- 
sented by  one  member,  and  Kansas,  Kentucky, 
Mississippi,  Maine  and  Rhole  Island  by  only 
two  members.  If  there  are  any  Rhode  Island 
booksellers  present,  for  we  know  there  are  a 
great  many  progressive  booksellers  in  Rhode 
Island,  we  would  be  glad  to  have  them  explain 
this  amazing  fact. 

While  the  American  Booksellers'  Associa- 
tion would  welcome  a  membership  from  the 
Wheeler  Syndicate,  in  fairness  to  Mrs.  Helen 
Rowland,  who,  as  far  as  we  know,  is  our  only 
author  member,  we  must  correct  the  roster 
which  gives  the  membership  as  that  of  the 
Wheeler    Syndicate.      Mrs.    Rowland    is    the 


member    and    her    address    is    care    of  The 
Wheeler  Syndicate.

This  organization  should  have  the  support 
of  every  man  and  woman  who  owns  a  book- 
store or  who  holds  any  responsible  position  in 
a  bookstore  or  who  has  at  heart  the  interest 
to  see  the  right  book  get  into  the  hands  of  the 
right  person.  It  is  an  association  in  which  the 
publisher  and  the  author  as  well  as  the  book- 
seller should  be  vitally  interested.  They  are 
all  useless  each  without  the  other  and  the  suc- 
cess of  one  makes  the  success  of  the  other. 

Twenty-one  years  ago  the  American  Book- 
sellers' Association  had  746  members,  533  paid 
their  annual  dues,  which  were  increased  from 
$2.00  to  $5.00.  At  that  time  they  thought  this 
increase  would  be  difficult  to  get,  but  the  mem- 
bers met  it  cheerfully  and  apparently  all  those 
in  arrears  paid  the  increased  dues,  bringing 
up  the  membership  to  746.  Are  the  1,000  mem- 
bers desired  by  our  President  too  much  to 
expect  after  twenty-two  years  as  an  important 
organization  ? 

President  Herr:  I  have  only  one  comment 
to  make  on  the  report.  Miss  Walker  reports 
that  today  our  membership  is  484-  There  must 
be  some  at  the  convention  who  have  not  yet 
joined,  who  should  join.  It  takes  only  sixteen 
new  members  to  bring  us  up  to  a  round  five 
hundred  before  we  leave  Washington,  and  I 
certainly  hope  we  pass  the  five  hundred  mark 
before  we  close  the  convention.  See  Miss 
Walker  or  Mr.  Kidd,  and  they  will  fix  you 
up.  I  should  like  to  see  the  membership  around 
five  hundred  before  tomorrow  night  when  we 
itdjourn.  I  certainly  want  to  thank  Miss 
Walker  for  the  active  work  done  by  her  com- 
mittee this  year. 

At  this  time  I  would  like  all  those  who  have 
joined  the   association  this  year  to  stand   up. 


all  who  are  in  the  room,  so  the  rest  of  the 
members  may  know  you.  (Several  arose.)  If 
there  is  anyone  in  the  room  who  is  available 
for  membership,  I  hope  they  will  see  the  Chair- 
man of  the  Membership  Committee  and  join 
before  the  convention  is  over. 

I  would  like  to  announce  that  we  have 
secured  the  railroad  half-rate  this  year 
(Applause.) 

Miss  Mary  Smith  of  Northampton  wants  to 
say  a  few  words  to  you. 

Mary  Byers  Smith  :  (Northampton,  Mass.)  : 
It  seems  too  bad  that  a  meeting  labeled  "Com- 
plaints" should  be  so  largely  populated  by 
ladies,  but  I  am  not  making  this  suggestion  in 
the  form  of  a  complaint,  but  as  a  suggestion. 

The  question  of  getting  new  members  among 
the  younger  people  in  the  staff  is  a  very  real 
one,  and  in  order  to  do  so  the  Association  has 
got  to  mean  something  to  those  younger  mem- 
bers. You  cannot  come  to  a  conference  like 
this  without  wishing  that  everybody  at  home 
could  be  here. 

The  next  best  thing  to  that,  it  seems  to  me, 
is  to  have  at  least  one  good  discussion  meeting 
in  every  local  community,  once  a  year.  In 
order  to  do  that,  the  Hampshire  Bookshop, 
altho  it  realizes  that  a  great  many  of  you  have 
been  doing  it  for  many  years — the  Hampshire 
Bookshop  invites  New  England — all  the  book- 
sellers of  New  England  who  are  members 
of  this  Association,  or  who  are  considering 
joining  this  Association,  to  have  a  two-hour 
discussion,  followed  by  an  informal  supper. 
We  will  have  it  on  the  evening  of  the  first  of 
Hugh  Walpole's  lectures,  so  you  will  have  a 
chance  to  meet  Hugh  Walpole.  We  are  not 
perfectly  sure  what  night  that  is — Miss  Dodd 
hasn't  her  memorandum — but  we  think  it  is  the 
third  Tuesday  in  October. 

There  is  a  notice  of  the  lectures  in  the  Pub- 
lishers' Weekly,  which  I  won't  read;  they 
are  on  the  development  of  the  novel  in  the 
twentieth  century,  and  include,  of  course,  many 
of  the  publishers'  very  latest  books. 

We  are  not  inviting  a  small  local  group  to 
a  party  and  advertising  it  at  this  meeting.  We 
are  putting  this  as  a  suggestion  to  every  com- 
munity, every  subdivision  of  this  organization, 
to  get  together  in  some  such  informal  way — 
if  you  don't  already — and  we  believe  that  there 
is  no  question  that  some  of  the  younger  mem- 
bers of  the  staffs  will  have  permanent  sugges- 
tions there  at  the  very  beginning  of  the  Chil- 
dren's Book  Week,  of  the  fall  sales,  of  the 
Christmas  sales,  and  that  if  we  do  this  all  over 
the  country  a  larger  and  more  representative 
group  will  get  together  next  year. 

Thank  you.     (Applause.)

CHARLES     A,      BURKHARDT,      OF     DUTTON'S,      NEW 
YORK,    AMONG    THE    SECOND    YEAR's    GROUP    TO    BE 
ELECTED  TO  THE  HONORARY  FELLOWSHIP  OF  BOOK- 
SELLERS. 

President  Herr:  Miss  Dodd's  suggestion  is 
very  pertinent  and  practical,  and  I  am  glad  it 
will  be  carried  out  in  New  England.  It  is  a 
start  in  the  idea  of  developing  divisional  and 
sectional  associations,  which  is  one  of  the  most 
logical  steps  for  expanding  the  influence  of 
this  body,  I  wish  Miss  Dodd  and  her  asso- 
ciates the  greatest  success  in  getting  together 
a  good  strong  representation  at  that  meeting 
in  New  England,  and  I  commend  that  example 
to  you  in  every  part  of  the  country  to  try  to 
bring  together  some  definite  group  and  start 
a  local  or  sectional  association. 

ThereJ  is  the  germ  of  a  big  idea  to  carry 
along  home  with  you  and  work  out;  each 
one  of  you  work  it  out  in  your  own  territory. 

Mrs.  Morris  brought  with  her  the  greetings 
of  an  old,  old  friend  and  old,  old  member  who 
is  no  longer  a  bookseller,  whom  she  met  on 
the  train  from  San  Francisco— our  old  friend 
John  Sterling  of  Watertown  sends  his  greet- 
ings to  the  Booksellers'  Association.  (Applause) 

We  have  been  honored  by  having  sent  to  us 
from  our  fellow  society  in  Canada,  the  Cana- 
dian Booksellers'  Association,  a  representative, 
Mr.  Brown — Mr.  Clinton  Foster  Brown.  Is 
Mr.  Brown  in  the  room?  Mr.  Brown,  we 
would  be  glad  to  have  a  word  of  greeting. 
(Applause.) 


Clinton  Foster  Brown  :  Mr.  President,  and 
friends  of  the  bookselling  profession :  It  gives 
me  great  pleasure  to  be  here  with  you  today 
and  to  extend  to  you  the  greetings  from  the 
Canadian  Association.  We  are  only  a  baby. 
We  have  only  been  in  existence  two  years.  We 
are  small  in  number,  but  we  have  accomplished 
something  so  far  and  we  are  going  on  to  great- 
er things. 

We  wish  you  all  success  here.  I  have  lis- 
tened with  great  interest  to  the  different  papers 
and  congratulate  you  on  the  standard,  the  high 
standard,  of  the  papers  that  have  been  de- 
livered. 

I  have  been  extremely  interested  in  the  ques- 
tion of  Prdce  Maintenance.  I  might  say  for 
Canada  that  that  subject  is  not  a  live  one.  We 
have  no  price  cutting  in  Canada  to  speak  of.  1 
don't  know  whether  the  law  supports  us  or 
not,  but  when  a  departmental  store  or  price 
cutter  comes  on  the  field,  the  publisher  just 
goes  to  him  and  says,  "It  has  to  stop,"  and  it 
stops,  and  that  is  all  there  is  to  it. 

The  English  have  a  great  idea  of  fair  play, 
I  will  say,  and  when  it  is  put  up  to  them,  they 
abide. 

It  would  give  me  great  pleasure  to  have  you 
consider  Montreal  as  the  next  city  for  holding 
your  convention.  If  not  this  coming  year,  per- 
haps in  the  near  future.  Montreal  is  a  city  of 
historical  interest,  second  only  to  Quebec,. and 
those  of  you  who  are  interested  in  history  must 
know  that  the  history  of  America,  the  United 
States  and  Canada,  is   closely  linked   together. 

But  I  was  going  to  say,  the  primitive  French 
Canadian  life,  the  life  the  French  Canadian 
lives,  is  practically  the  same  as  that  he  has 
been  living  for  the  last  two  or  three  hundred 
years.    We  assure  you  of  a  great  welcome. 

President  Herr:  We  had  with  us  yesterday 
— I  don't  know  whether  the  gentlemen  are 
here  today — representatives  of  the  National 
Association  of  Retail  Druggists  who  are  here 
on  account  of  their  interest  in  the  Price  Stan- 
dardization proposition  which  we  have  up. 
Those  representatives  were  E.  C.  Brockmeyer, 
Frank  T.  Stone,  and  Andrew   Humesburger. 

We  also  have  with  us  a  gentleman  from 
France,  who  will  kindly  stand  up  and  be  rec- 
ognized. He  hopes  to  have  a  chance  to  speak 
to  you  this  afternoon.  He  is  Mr.  Lamm  of 
the  Agcnce  Gienerale  of  Paris.  I  am  sorry 
the  time  is  so  short  that  I  can't  give  Mr.  Lamm 
an  opportunity  to  speak  right  now.  but  we  are 
very  near  adjournment  time. 

Mrs.  Ralph  Wilson  :  Mr.  President,  we  have 
been  indulging  in  a  long  Rip  Van  Winkle 
sleep,  as  Mr.  Hotchkiss  of  Oregon  told  us.  It 
has  been  the  fairy  wand  of  the  publisher  that 
has  awakened  us  to  our  opportunities.     They 


Alay  20,   1922 


1451 


have  done  a  great  work.  We  have  been  like 
children.  The  best  educational  practices  of 
today  are  to  capture  the  interests  of  the  child, 
start  him  on  the  road  to  exploration  and  leave 
it  to  the  child's  inherent  love  of  adventure  to 
travel  the  rest  of  the  way  unaided. 

The  other  day  I  received  a  letter  from  a 
little  girl  in  a  small  town  in  the  Middle  West. 
It  set  me  thinking.  We  need  so  badly  a  Book- 
sellers' School.  Couldn't  some  of  the  money 
be  diverted  from  the  Year  Round  Bookselling- 
Campaign  and  be  used  to  help  in  raising  a 
fund  for  such  a  school  ?    This  letter  read : 

"I  have  just  been  making  posters  for  our  home 
economics    department." 

Later  her  mother  wrote: 

"Helen  has  received  much  praise  for  the  fine 
posters  she  has  made  for  the  school  entertainment. 
She  really  shows  a  talent  for  drawing  and  design 
that  we  did  not  know  existed.  If  she  could  only 
have    it    developed  I" 

Why  couldn't  the  booksellers  offer  prizes, 
preferably  of  choice  and  helpful  art  books,  to 
the  student  in  the  high  school  or  college,  for 
the  best  posters,  as  an  incentive  to  effort  and 
to  bring  out  the  latent  talent  that  might  exist? 
Where  there  ore  good  schools  of  design,  such 
as  the  Rhode  Island  School  of  Design  in 
Providence,  or  such  as  exist  in  many  of  our 
High  Schools,  they  oiTer  encouragement.

CHARLES  E.  BUTLER  SO  HONORED  LAST  YEAR. 


C.     C.      PARKER,     OF     LOS     ANGELES,     THE      SECOND 

BOOKSELLER     FROM      THE      PACIFIC     COAST     TO     BE 

MADE     HONORARY     FELLOW. 

Call  attention  to  the  poster;  print  a  cut  of 
it  in  the  daily  paper;  exhibit  it  with  the 
student's  name  in  the  Bookseller's  window.  It 
would  create  an  interest  in  the  store.  It  might 
even  be  linked  up  with  good  books  on  design. 
In  June  a  prize  might  be  offered  and  mentioned 
in  the  Bulletin  sent  out  by  the  publishers.  It 
would  plant  an  idea  in  the  mind  of  each  con- 
testant, of  books,  as  well  as  their  household 
furnishings,  and  all  the  time  it  would  be  en- 
couraging and  developing  latent  talent.  If 
everyone  present  would  read  Brooks'  little  book 
"Literature  and  Leadership"  he  would  realize 
the  necessity  of  fostering  a  love  of  art  in  our 
country. 

V.  M.  ScHENCK  (Boston,  Mass.)  :  I  think 
Mrs.  Wilson  has  presented  an  idea  which  lias 
great  possibility  and  that  the  Year-Round 
Bookselling  Committee  should  consider  seriously 
and  promote. 

President  Herr:  We  haven't  any  time  for 
discussion  on  this  matter  right  now,  but  ^e 
probably  will  have  time  to  talk  on  it  in  the 
afternoon  session. 

I  will  now  a.sk  Mr.  Melcher  to  present  the 
Honorary  Fellowship  Certificates  of  the  Amer- 
ican Book«cMers  to  those  who  have  been 
elected.

The  Award  of  the  Honorary  Fellowship 


Mr.  Melcher:  This  is  the  second  year  in 
which  we  have  announced  the  resuhs  from  our 
efforts  to  find  some  informal  way  of  recognizing 
those  among  the  retail  booktrade  who  have 
endeavored  to  raise  the  standards  of  booksell- 
ing to  a  level  to  which  we  like  to  accord 
appreciation.  I  would  like,  if  I  had  the  time, 
to  review  in  detail  the  purposes  ol  this  fellow- 
ship, but  at  this  time  I  merely  want  to  announce 
the  results  of  this  year.  As  you  know,  the 
nominations  come  from  the  trade,  and  the  elec- 
tion is  by  our  membership.  In  limiting  the 
number  each  year  to  five  we  realize  that  it 
simply  gives  us  long  years  ahead  in  which  to 
add  to  the  number,  and  it  keeps  a  growth  still 
ahead  of  us. 

The  results  of  this  nomination  have  been 
coming  in  for  the  last  month  and  they  have 
been  totaled  up  to  the  time  that  I  make  this 
announcement. 

I  should  like  those  who  are  present  whose 
names  I  read  to  come  forward  please  and  re- 
ceive this  certificate.    The  ballot  is  as  follows : 

"Over  forty  years  buyer  for  the  retail  de- 
partment of  E.  P.  Button  &  Company,  New 
York.  Was  trustee  of  the  old  Booksellers' 
Provident  Association,  the  founder  of  the 
Booksellers'  League  of  New  York.  A  com- 
petent bookseller,  a  high-minded  citizen  and  one 
who  has  labored  with  marked  ability  and  self- 
effacement  for  the  profession  which  he  has 
done  so  much  to  benefit^ — Charles  A.  Burk-

President  Herr  :  We  will  call  for  the  re- 
port of  the  Auditing  Committee,  Mr.  Sanford, 
Chairman. 

Mr.  Sanford  read  the  report  of  the  Auditing 
Committee,  as  follows  : 

"Mr.  President,  Ladies  and  Gentlemen  of  the 
Convention  :  Your  Auditing  Committee  has  in- 
spected the  receipts  and  expenditures  of  the 
Association  and  verified  the  same  with  the  bank 
account  and  find  them  correct.  (Signed)  B. 
E.  Sanford,  Chairman;  Fred  H.  Tracht." 

The  other  member  of  the  Committee  could 
not  be  found  to  get  his  signature. 

The  report  of  the  Auditing  Committee  was 
adopted. 

President  Herr  :  The  report  of  the  Resolu- 
tions Committee  is  not  quite  ready.  Until  they 
are  ready,  are  there  any  communications  to  be 
read  to  the  meeting?  The  Secretary  has  been 
reading  communications  from  time  to  time.  Mr. 
Butler,  have  you  any  further  communications  ? 

Mr  Butler  :  No,  except  more  telegrams, 
approving  our  stand  on  price  standardization. 

President  Herr  :  Mr.  Butler  has  received 
since  yesterday  a  number  of  additional  tel- 
egrams and  letters  confirming  the  stand  and 
position  on  the  Stephens-Kelly  Bill.  They  are 
all  of  the  same  tenor. 


Mr.  Butler  read  several  telegrams  and  let- 
ters including  the  following  : 

Letter   From   Mr.  Stokes 

Dear  Mr.   Butler  :  "May  5,   1922. 

I  have  duly  received  your  interesting  letter 
of  May  3  and  all  the  effective  and  well-planned 
material   accompanying  it. 

You  are  certainly  putting  up  a  splendid  fight, 
and  I  hope  it  will  have  good  results.  Largely 
due  to  efforts  to  honor  your  wishes— as  usual 
—you  have  doubtless  received  the  formal  en- 
dorsement of  the  National  Association  of  Book 
Publishers.  I  find,  however,  that  some  pub- 
lishers are  disturbed  for  fear  that  the  bill  in 
its  present  wording  will  render  it  impossible 
for  them  to  dispose  of  remainders,  and  re- 
mainders are  an  inevita!)lc  misfortune  in  the 
publishing  business,  which  is  quite  different 
in  this  respect  from  the  sale  of  safety  razors, 
Beechnut  bacon,  etc.  Another  question  is  that 
of  the  joM>ers  and  their  discounts. 

However,  prolwbly  these  difficulties  can  be 
met  when  the  bill  is  finally  threshed  out  in 
committee. 

With  kindest  regards. 

Yours   faithfully. 

(Signed)    F.  A.  Stokes, 

President,   Frederick   A.   Stokes  Company."

President  Herr  :  The  following  telegram 
has  been  received :

bookseller  whose  business  went  over  the  top 
last  year  but  who  cannot  be  with  you  at  this 
eventful  meeting. 

Ida  Josephine  Watson." 
Glass  Block  Stor^,  Duluth. 

While  we  are  waiting  for  the  report  from 
the  Resolutions  Committee.  I  might  say  that 
the  Resolutions  Committee  has  had  a  difficult 
task  this  year  on  account  of  the  arrangement 
of  the  program,  the  Executive  Session  coming 
so  close  on  top  of  the  session  this  morning 
gave  them  comparatively  little  time. 

Mr.  Witsil,  I  think,  now  wants  to  throw 
down  a  challenge  to  the  country  at  large. 

Baseball  Challenge 

Mr.  Witsil  :  Mr.  President,  I  hardly 
thought  that  I  was  going  to  take  advantage 
of  your  permission,  but  since  yesterday  I  have 
come  to  the  conclusion  that  I  have  a  message 
for  the  convention  in  an  effort  to  secure  a 
little  of  the  spirit  of  co-operation.  This  morning 
a  lady  spoke  about  encouraging  the  young  and 
making  them  interested  in  associations,  and 
the  message  that  I  might  bring  to  this  con- 
vention is  that  there  are  a  number  of  men 
who  have  had  the  interest  and  welfare  of  the 
young  men  of  the  New  York  book-trade  at 
heart,  and  have  been  endeavoring  to  join  these 
young  fellows   and   girls   into  associations. 

It  seemed  to  them  they  would  strike  the 
right  chord  if  they  supported  athletics.  Last 
year  was  thel  first  time  in  the  history  of  the 
book-trade  that  they  succeeded  in  carrying 
over  the  entire  season  a  league  of  baseball 
clubs.  It  was  a  remarkablej  thing  to  see  the 
i6  young  men  manage  the  affairs  of  this 
league,  and  it  was  some  problem.  This  league 
is  bigger,  stronger,  has  better  finances  this 
year  than  last  year  and  as  I  know  pretty  well 
the  playing  ability  of  most  of  the  boys  in  the 
league  I  can  predict  that  at  the  end  of  this 
season  there  is  going  to  be  a  pennant  winner. 

I  want  to  see  formed  elsewhere  a  book-trade 
ball  club  and  I  want  to  play  this  pennant 
winner  of  the  New  York  Publishers'  Ball 
League  against  that  club,  and  we  will  play 
anywhere  and  any  time.  That  is  the  challenge 
I  wanted  to  give,  so  go  to  work  on  it. 

President  Herr  :  This  is  a  suitable  op- 
portunity for  any  discussion  that  there  is  to 
come  up  on  the  floor.  We  must  wait  until  the 
Resolutions  Committee  is  ready  to  report. 

Mr.  Tracht  :  In  talking  with  Congress- 
man Kelly  yesterday  I  asked  him  for  some 
concrete  way  in  which  we  booksellers  might 
further  the  cause  of  the  bill  which  he  has  in- 
troduced into  the  House.  He  hesitated  at 
first,  but  said  if  we  could  look  up  our  own 
Congressmen  and  Senators  while  we  were  in 
Washington,    that   it    might   help   wonderfully, 


May  20,  1922

and  if  you  have  a  speaking  acquaintance  or  can 
get  an  audience  with  the  Chairman  of  the 
Committee  to  whom  the  bill  was  referred,  it 
would  help.  I  would  suggest  that  each  book- 
seller or  publisher  here  get  in  touch  with  his 
Congressman. 

Mr.  Hamblen  of  Houston:  Mr.  Kelly  is 
having  a  hard  time  with  his  bill.  I  want  to 
present  to  you  retailers,  not  you  publishers, 
a  bill  which  I  think  we  can  put  thru  now. 
We  are  all  in  favor  of  the  Kelly  Bill  to  pro- 
tect the  publisher  and  the  manufacturer.  We 
are  in  favor  of  Mr.  Roger's  plan  of  Misbrand- 
ing Bills.  Let  us  protect  the  retailers,  and  I 
would  suggest  a  bill  that  the  minimum  dis- 
count to  retailers  be  40%. 

President  Herr  :  I  think,  since  we  have 
the  opportunity,  it  would  be  very  desirable  to 
let  Mr.  Melcher  have  a  few  moments  to  ex- 
plain the  situation  in  the  present  Tariff  Bill 
and  what  has  been  accomplished  up  to  date. 

Tariff   Situation  For  Books 

Mr.  Melcher  :  The  matter  of  the  tariff 
on  books  will  probably  be  embodied  for  your 
approval  in  some  resolution,  but  it  seems  to 
me  that  some  explanation  of  the  situation 
wuold  be  of  interest  to  the  convention.  As 
you  know,  the  Fordney  Bill  was  brought  in 
last  July  and  it  suggested  tariffs  all  along  the 
line  that  were  high.  As  soon  as  it  went  to  the 
Senate  there  were  hearings  and  petitions,  and 
the  publishers  and  booksellers  and  librarians 
have  all  been  represented  as  carefully  and 
fully  as  possible  in  order  that  our  interests 
may  be  properly  considered.  That  has  taken 
a  great  deal  of  time  on  the  part  of  three  dif- 
ferent organizations  and  we  were  one  of  the  . 
few  groups  that  appeared  there,  asking  for  as 
low  a  tariff  as  possible,  for  the  health  of  the 
book  business,  for  the  better  interchange  of 
thought  between  other  countries  and  ourselves, 
— as  low,  if  possible,  as  the  present  tariff  of 
15%. 

Last  month,  when  the  Senate  gave  a  fore- 
cast of  the  scliedules  it  would  favor,  it  was 
found  that  the  tariffs  on  books  would  be  rais- 
ed over  those  suggested  by  the  House  and, 
just  before  it  was  printed,  there  were  final 
hearings,  in  which  a  compromise  was  made.  Ar- 
gument was  advanced  by  the  printing  unions, 
that  the  American  publishers  were  taking  books 
that  were  manufactured  here  and  sending  them 
abroad  and  then  bringing  them  in  again.  No 
one  in  the  trade  knows  of  any  such  thing,  but 
a  compromise  suggestion  was  made  that  the 
books  that  are  of  bona  fide  foreign  origin 
should  come  in  for  15%,  which  means,  as  near- 

— _     ly  as  we  oan  guess,  all  the  current  books  that 

wM    come  in  at  all. 

k- — ' —

tion  of  the  need  of  more  protection  for  the 
craft  in  this  country  and  made  it,  of  course, 
to  a  protectionist  Congress.  The  bill  as  it 
reads  today  calls  for  45%  dut>'  on  leather 
bindings.  That  would  probably  mean  more 
protection,  as  the  trade  figures  it  out,  than  the 
craft  in  this  country  would  need,  as  the  dif- 
ference between  costs  of  leather  bindings  here 
and  in  London  today  is  very  small  indeed. 
We  feel  that  the  book-trade,  especially  the 
retail  book-trade,  should  be  a  unit  in  asking 
for  lower  schedules  here.  The  children's 
books,  perhaps  by  inadvertence,  are  left  at 
25%,  while  a  novel  would  come  in  for  15%. 
It  does  not  seem  likely  there  was  intended 
to  be  such  a  discrimination  against  children's 
books.  Another  question  came  up  in  regard 
to  the  free  list.  By  the  united  protest  of  the 
book-trade  and  of  the  libraries,  an  extremely 
unfortunate  phase  of  the  bill  has  been 
changed,  that  which  allowed  no  provision 
on  the  free  list  for  old  books  or  those  in 
foreign  languages.  The  protest  had  its  effect 
and  those  are  restored,  but  in  restoring  them, 
it  was  so  worded  that  a  book  over  20  years 
old,  with  a  new  binding,  would  be  thrown 
back  in  the  dutiable  schedule  and  the  whole 
book  would  become  dutiable  at  the  very  high 
rate  of  45%,  which  would  be  an  injustice,  and 
one  perhaps  not  intended.  Against  that,  pro- 
tests are  being  made  as  effectively  as  pos- 
sible thru  the  means  we  have  at  our  disposal. 
I  think  at  this  time  the  booksellers  ought 
to  realize  that  this  has  been  another  case 
when  standing  together  has  been  effective. 
The  retailers  have  also  had  their  interests 
represented  by  publishers  who  have  kept  the 
retail  interests  in  mind  and  they  were  sup- 
ported by  the  libraries  and  the  public.  The 
bill  may  not  go  thru  until  fall.  The  politics 
of  it  I  do  not  need  to  explain  to  you,  but 
your  Association  and  the  National  Associa- 
tion of  Book  Publishers  is  trying  to  keep 
your  interests  in  mind  in  order  to  have  a 
tariff   under  which  we  can  thrive. 

The  New  Copyright  Bill 
I  think  you  would  also  be  interested  to 
hear  of  the  copyright  situation,  as  1922  may 
become  epochal  in  our  book-trade  history.  It 
may  be  that  during  this  year — it  seems  very 
likely  if  this  Tariff  and  other  urgent  matters 
get  out  of  the  way — that  a  bill  will  be  passed 
which  will  bring  the  United  States  into  the 
co-operating  family  of  literature-producing 
nations.  I  think  you  all  realize,  and  realize 
with  humiliation,  that  the  United  States  has 
been  unfortunately  standing  outside  and  not 
giving  an  honest  deal  to  all  authorship  thru- 
out  the  world.  The  Berne  Convention,  which 
was  started  in  the  80s,  was  a  group  of  na- 
tions   which    agreed     that    they     would    give 


1456 


The  Publishers^  Weekly 


international  protection  to  each  other's  au- 
thors. The  United  States  did  not  come  in  at 
that  time  except  with  a  provision  that  if  the 
book  was  manufactured  over  here  we  would 
give  such  protection.  We  agreed  that  far  in 
'91,  so  we  considered  ourselves  as  having  in- 
ternational copyright,  without  really  having  it. 

The   present   bill    would   bring   us    into    the 


family  of  nations  where  we  certainly  belong, 
as  among  the  largest  consumers  of  books. 

President  Heer:  We  are  now  ready  to 
receive  the  report  of  the  Committee  on  Resolu- 
tions. If  there  are  no  objections,  the  resolu- 
tions will  be  read  thru  and  we  will  then  take 
up  the  resolutions  individually,  discuss  and 
pass  them. 


Report  of  the  Resolutions  Committee 
By  Vernor  M.  Schenck,  Chairman 


I  HAVE  learned  thru  experience  the  wis- 
dom of  announcing  the  fact  at  home  that 
I  am  to  serve  on  the  Committee  on  Reso- 
lutions. Just  before  I  left  for  the  train, 
Mrs.  Schendk  said:  "Now,  I  hope  you  are 
not  going  to  serve  on  any  committee  this  year" 
and  I  had  to  admit  that  I  had  consented  to  do 
so.  A  few  moments  after  I  heard  my  little 
girl  saying  to  her  brother:  "Papa  is  on  the 
Good  Resolutions  Committee."  These  are  the 
good  resolutions;  bad,  I  presume  some  of  you 
will  say,  and  some  of  them  indifferent.  They 
are  the  best  we  could  produce  in  the  time  we 
have  had. 

RESOLUTION*  NUMBER  I. 

WHEREAS,  a  goal  is  a  goal  until  it  is  at- 
tained, and  the  one  thousand  membership 
which  we  determined  upon  last  year  has  not 
yet  been  reached, 

RESOLVED,  that  the  committee  toi  be  ap- 
pointed to  lead  the  movement  for  a  "1000 
membership"  be  asked  to  continue  their  cam- 
paign and  that  we  pledge  ourselves  to  co- 
operate with  them  in  every  possible  way. 

[The  resolution  originally  called  for  the  con- 
tinuance of  the  same  committee  but  was 
amended  after  the  following  discussion.] 

Secretary:  I  cannot  accept  that.  That 
means  that  I  am  to  be  Chairman. 

President  :  I  would  suggest  that  that  might 
be  modified  "That  the  Membership  Committee 
to  be  appointed  by  the  incoming  President"  if 
that  is  acceptable. 

[On  motion  duly  made  and  seconded  and 
unanimously  carried.  Resolution  No.  i  was 
adopted  as  amended.] 

RESOLUTION   NUMBER   II. 

RESOLVED,  that  we  congratulate  the  com- 
mittee in  charge  of  the  Washington  Conven- 
tion on  the  splendid  success  which  has 
attended  their  efforts.  It  has  been  evident 
that  absolutely  no  detail  which  could  in  any 


way  contribute  toward  the  business  or  social 
success  of  the  convention  was  overlooked. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  unani- 
mously carried.  Resolution  No.  2  was  adopted 
as  read.] 

RESOLUTION    NUMBER   III. 

RESOLVED,  that  we  extend  the  thanks 
of  the  Association  to  all  who  have  in  any  way 
contributed  to  its  success.  We  particularly 
wish  to  thank  the  following  publishers  who 
contributed  convention  souvenirs: 

Rand,  McNally  &  Co. 
The   Macmillan  Company. 
Alfred  A.  Knopf,  Inc. 
Chas.  Scribner's  Sons. 
Brentano's. 
Henry  Holt  &  Co. 
George  H.  Doran  &  Co. 
Penn  Publishing  Co. 
I.  and   M.   Ottenheimer. 
Boston  Transcript. 
Dodge  Publishing  Co. 

Especial  mention  should  be  made  of  the 
genuine  publicity  given  by  Belle  M.  Walker 
of  the  Bookseller  and  Stationer  and  the 
cordial  support  granted  by  the  Publishers' 
Weekly. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  unani- 
mously carried.  Resolution  No.  3  was  adopted 
as  read.] 

RESOLUTION  NUMBER  IV. 

Our  gratitude  is  likewise  due  to  L.  A. 
Williamson,  New  York,  General  Passenger 
Agent  of  the  Baltimore  &  Ohio  Railroad,  for 
his  courtesy  in  planning  and  conducting  the 
special  train  from  New  York — to  the  Hotels 
Willard  and  Washington  for  courtesies  ex-

Club  for  hospitality  generously  offered.

May  20,  1922 

RESOLUTION'  NUMBER  V. 
RESOLVED,  that  we  heartily  aj)prove  the 
policy,  adopted  by  the  Washington  Commit- 
tee, of  a  self-supporting  convention,  and 
recommend  the  adoption  of  this  plan  for  fu- 
ture conventions,  to  the  officers  of  the  Asso- 
ciation. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  unani- 
mously carried,  Resolution  No.  5  was  adopted 
as  read.] 

RESOLUTION  NUMBER  VI 

WHEREAS,  it  appears  that  the  neglected 
factor  in  the  machinery  for  the  distribution 
of  books  is  the  sales  force  in  bookstores  and 
department  stores,  and 

WHEREAS,  it  appears  that  greater  effici- 
ency of  the  sales  force  brings  with  it  in- 
creased profits  for  the  dealer  and  greater 
recognition  of  the  earning  capacity  of  the 
sales  force, 

BE  IT  RESOLVED,  that  this  Association 
urges  managers  in  every  bookstore  and  de- 
partment store  book  section  to  plan  a  definite 
educational  and  training  campaign  for  the 
sales  force. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  unani- 
mously carried,  Resolution  No.  6  was  adopted 
as  read.] 

RESOLUTION   NUMBER   VII 

WHEREAS,  it  has  been  demonstrated  at 
Philadelphia,  New  York  and  other  book 
centers,  that  class  instruction  thru  a  Book- 
sellers' School,  in  a  series  of  lectures  on  gen- 
eral book  knowledge,  is  not  only  practically 
beneficial,  but  has  been  enthusiastically  re- 
ceived by  proprietors  and  managers,  as  well 
as  sales  people;  therefore 

BE  IT  RESOLVED,  that  we  urge  that 
such  instruction  be  taken  up  in  other  cities 
by  co-operating  booksellers  and  continued 
from  year  to  year. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  unani- 
mously carried,  Resolution  No.  7  was  adopted 
as  read.] 

RESOLUTION  NUMBER  VIII. 

WHEREAS,  it  is  evident  that  a  national 
Co-operative  Advertising  Campaign  featur- 
ing the  general  idea  of  the  romance  and  own- 
ership of  looks,  the  pleasures  of  reading,  etc. 
woiild  be  a  profitable  and  constructive  plan 
of  operation,  and 

WHEREAS,  it  appe^ars  that  both  publish- 
ers and  booksellers  are  more  keenly  alive 
than  ever  to  the  possibilities  of  team  work 
and  co-operation. 


1457 

BE  IT  RESOLVED,  that  it  is  the  sense  of 
this  Association  that  such  a  campaign  be 
again  undertaken  and  that  the  expense  be 
borne  jointly  by  publishers,  jobbers  and 
retailers. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  unani- 
mously carried,  Resolution  No.  8  was  adopted 
as  read.] 

RESOLUTION    NUMBER    IX. 

WHEREAS,  it  is  evident  from  the  experi- 
ence of  many  booksellers  that  the  featuring 
of  worth-while  children's  reading  is  both  a 
farsighted  and  profitable  plan;   and 

WHEREAS,  it  was  largely  thru  the  ef- 
forts of  Franklin  K.  Mathiews  that  our  atten- 
tion has  been  turned  so  strongly  to  better 
juvenile  books, 

RESOLVED,  that  it  is  the  sense  of  this 
Association  that  a  formal  expression  of 
appreciation  be  extended  to  Mr.  Mathiews 
for  his  farsighted  and  constructive  work,  and 
that  this  Association  strongly  recommends 
that  booksellers  give  especial  consideration 
to  the  recommended  lists  of  the  American 
Library  Association,  the  local  librarian  and 
State  librarian. 

Mr.  Hutchinson  :  I  move  the  adoption 
of  this  motion,  Mr.  President,  and  it  is  so 
important  a  motion  to  the  bookstore,  that  I 
move  that  the  vote  be  taken  as  a  rising  vote. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  unani- 
mously carried,  Resolution  No.  9  was  adopted 
by  a  standing  vote.] 

RESOLUTION  NUMBER   X. 

RESOLVED,  that  believing  that  the  only 
final  solution  of  the  problem  presented  by  the 
wholly  unfair  methods  of  the  persistent 
price-cutter  is  the  enactment  by  Congress  of 
laws  which  will  definitely  establish  the  right 
of  a  manufacturer  to  determine  and  main- 
tain a  fair  price  for  his  commodity,  the  mem- 
bers of  the  American  Booksellers'  Associa- 
tion here  assembled  earnestly  urge  their 
representatives  in  Congress  to  vote  for  and 
support  by  every  possible  means  the  pro- 
posed legislation  known  as  the  Stephens- 
Kelly  Bill,  H.  R.  No.  II. 

We,  the  undersigned,  members  of  the  Amer- 
ican Booksellers'  Association,  hereby  endorse 
this  resolution. 

(Resolution  presented  with  130  signatures  of 
members.)

mously carried,  Resolution  No.  10  was  adopted 
by  a  standing  vote.]

The  Publishers'   Weekly 


RESOLUTION    NUMBER   XI. 

WHEREAS,  we  view  withalarm  the  grow- 
ing tendency  on  the  part  of  the  publishers  to 
use  books  at  an  apparent  cut  price  in  con- 
nection with  magazine  subscriptions,  we 
recommend  the  appointment  of  a  committee 
to  confer  with  a  committee  from  the  pub- 
lishers to  get  all  possible  light  on  the  effect 
of  this  practice  on  the  future  of  the  book- 
trade,  and  if  possible,  the  discontinuance  of 
this  practice. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  unani- 
mously carried,  Resolution  No.  ii  was  adopted 
as  read.] 

The  motion  to  have  a  special  display  on 
January  17,  1923,  of  the  books  on  Benjamin 
Franklin  to  celebrate  the  200th  anniversary  of 
his  becoming  an  editor  and  publisher,  was  lost 
on  being  put  to  a  vote. 

RESOLUTION  NUMBER  XII. 

WHEREAS,  there  is  at  present  limited 
contact  between  the  Executive  Committee  and 
the  members  of  the  Association  thruout  the 
year;   and 

WHEREAS  it  was  resolved  at  the  last 
convention  to  issue  a  monthly  bulletin  for 
the  purpose  of  informing  the  members  con- 
cerning Association  news; 

BE  IT  RESOLVED,  that  an  occasional 
bulletin  be  issued  covering  possibly  Associa- 
tion news  and  certain  authoritative  articles 
on  book  business  accounting,  and  a  section 
devoted  to  the  education  of  clerks  in  the 
knowledge  of  books,  which  will  stimulate 
interest  in  the  American  Booksellers  Asso- 
ciation. 

[This  resolution  as  first  presented  read  "that 
a  bulletin  be  issued  at  least  monthly."  This 
phraseology  led  to  the  following  discussion  and 
final  revision  as  worded  above.] 

Mr.  Witsil  :  What  is  the  need  of  that  when 
you  have  your  trade  papers?  Why  couldn't 
the  trade  papers  carry  the  notices? 

Marion  Dodd,  Vice-President,  took  the  chair. 

President  Herr  :  The  reason  I  choose  to 
speak  to  you  on  that  resolution  is  to  call  your 
attention  to  a  couple  of  matters  of  finance  be- 
fore you  go  too  far  with  them — the  one  pro- 
posed here  and  one  in  a  later  resolution.  This 
resolution  was  proposed  last  year  and  I  en- 
deavored to  carry  it  out  as  well  as  I  could. 
The  net  result  was  that  I  issued  two  bulletins. 
one  in  August  and  one  in  January,  instead  of 
one  monthly. 

In  the  first  place,  I  found  I  was  unable  to 
get   material    sufficient   to   get   out  a   monthly 


bulletin  that  would  be  of  interest.  I  also 
found  that  a  monthly  bulletin,  mailed  not  only 
to  our  members,  but  to  the  entire  eighteen  or 
nineteeen  hundred  names  on  the  list,  involved  a 
cost  that  was  greater  than  our  treasury  could 
stand,  after  we  made  a  contribution  of  $1000  to 
Children's  Book  Week. 

As  Mr.  Witsil  has  pointed  out,  the  methods 
of  selling  are  very  well  handled  in  the  several 
papers  that  the  trade  has,  and  in  addition  to 
that  the  semi-monthly  letter  that  Miss  Humble 
is  getting  out.  There  is  another  resolution 
recommending  the  appropriation  of  $600  to  the 
American  Fair  Trade  League.  We  have  paid 
them  a  membership  of  $100  and  I  don't  think 
the  treasury  will  stand  the  strain.  When  the 
publicity  and  the  other  expenses  of  this  con- 
vention are  paid,  the  treasury  will  not  have 
much  money  left. 

Mr.  Macauley:  I  move  that  we  erase  the 
words  "at  least  monthly"  and  I  think  that 
would  overcome  any  objection  that  might  be 
raised  on  the  score  of  economy.  Leave  the 
time  for  issuing  the  bulletin  to  the  facilities 
that  may  be  at  the  command  of  the  incoming 
officers.         • 

[The  amendment  was  seconded  and  carried.] 

Mr.  Butler:  I  want  to  reiterate  the  state- 
ments you  make.  I  don't  believe  you  will  get 
enough  material  to  make  the  bulletin  of  general 
interest  thruout  the  trade.  Every  question  of 
salesmanship  or  trade  ethics  or  any  other 
questions  is  in  the  Publishers'  Weekly  or 
Bookseller  and  Stationer.  It  isn't  worth  the 
time,  cost  or  trouble  and  we  need  the  money 
for  more  energetic  work  of  greater  value  to  the 
Association. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  unani- 
mously carried.  Resolution  No.  12  was 
adopted.] 

[The  resolution  regarding  the  certificate 
suitable  for  framing  be  displayed  in  book 
shops  was  read  and  in  revised  form  was 
adopted  later  as  Resolution  13  given  just  be- 
low.] 

Mr.  Hutchinson  :  I  am  in  favor  of  this 
motion  except  that  it  may  carry  an  appropria- 
tion of  quite  a  large  amount  of  money.  I 
cannot  conceive  that  such  a  certificate  could 
be  prepared  for  less  than  $2  apiece.  I  think 
the  convention  should  realize  that  before  voting 
and  I  would  like  to  move  to  amend,  that  while 
favoring  this  resolution,  we  refer  it  to  the 
Executive  CommiiPe. 

Mr.  Melcher  :  The  design  of  a  certificate 
must  be  more  elaborate  for  this  purpose  and

I 


it  is  apparent  that  Mr.  Hutchinson's  remarks 
have  to  be  taken  into  consideration,  not  as  to 
the  excellence  of  the  idea  but  as  to  the  state 
of  the  treasury.  The  other  difficulty  involved 
is,  of  course,  the  question  of  whether  this  im- 
plies^ a  standard  of  service.  We  ought  to 
look  forward  to  a  time  when  a  person,  a  mem- 
ber of  this  Association,  should  have  a  standard 
of  service  that  people  who  go  into  his  shop 
would  expect. 

[Amendment  seconded.] 

[Amendment  unanimously  adopted.] 

President  Herr:  We  now  come  to  the 
original  motion  as  amended. 

Mr.  Butler:  Are  not  the  publishers  cover- 
ing that  ground  by  their  publicity? 

President  Herr:  Of  course,  Mr.  Melcher 
has  raised  the  point  of  the  standard  of  service 
and  Mr.  Freud  has  raised  the  point  of  ethics, 
as  to  whether  we  would  want  to  have  price- 
cutters  displaying  our  signs,  etc.,  and  it  does 
raise  a  very  nice  question  that  should  be  pon- 
dered over  carefully  before  you  pass  the  resolu- 
tion as  it  is.  The  Committee  has  asked  that 
it  be  referred  back  to  them  for  revision.  If 
there  are  no  objections  I  will  so  refer  it. 

[As  revised  it  was  passed  in  the  following 
form.] 

RESOLUTION   NUMBER  XIII 
WHEREAS,  we  are  all  proud  in  the  high- 
est degree   of  our   calling  and  profession  of 
bookselling,   and  equally  proud  that  we  are 
mtmbers  of  this  calling,  and 

WHEREAS,  it  is  believed  that  display  in 
our  shops  and  places  of  business  of  an  appro- 
priate and  artistic  certificate,  suitable  for 
framing,  indicating  our  activity  and  member- 
ship in  the  National  organization  would  be 
most  desirable,  therefore 

BE  IT  RESOLVED,  that  the  Executive 
Committee  be  instructed  to  investigate  the 
feasibility  of  asking  for  designs  suitable  as 
a  trade  insignia  from  which  choice  could  be 
had,  and  if  thought  wise,  reproductions  suit- 
able for  framing  made  and  sent  to  all  mem- 
bers of  this   Association. 

Mr.  Hutchinson  :  It  seems  to  me  in  view 
of  the  cost  of  this  insignia,  judging  by  what 
Mr.  Melcher  said  that  it  might  cost  five  hun- 
dred dollars,  that  the  benefit  would  hardly  be 
commensurate  with  the  cost  and  I  would  like 
to  see  the  motion  laid  on  the  table. 

President  Herr  :  If  you  will  note  the  read- 
ing of  the  resolution,  it  leaves  it  to  the  Ex- 
ecutive Committee  to  use  its  judgment  as  to 
the  feasibility  of  the  proposition.  I  am  quite 
positive  the  Executive  Committee  would  imt 
incur  expense  that  was  thought  unwise. 


[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  un- 
animously carried,  the  resolution  was  adopted 
as  read.] 

RESOLUTION   NUMBER  XIV 

WHEREAS,  the  Year  Round  Bookselling 
Committee  have  by  pioneer  enterprise  blazed 
a  trail  across  the  continent,  which  all  our 
future   efforts    can   but   follow, 

BE  IT  RESOLVED,  that  this  Association 
give  them  a  most  hearty  vote  of  thanks  and 
assure  them  of  our  co-operation  in  observing 
the  times  and  seasons  designated  by  them  and 
already  enthusiastically  adopted  by  many 
bookstores  in  every  part  of  the  country. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  unani- 
mously carried,  Resolution  No.  14  was  adopted 
as  read.] 

RESOLUTION   NUMBER   XV. 

WHEREAS,  in  spite  of  repeated  com- 
plaints of  booksellers  from  year  to  year,  of 
continued  price-cutting,  in  one  form  or  an- 
other, special  discounts  are  still  given  in  a 
few  instances,  always  to  the  detriment  of  the 
dealers  who  stick  to  a  fair  price,  whose 
steadfastness  is  recognized  and  highly  com- 
mended; and 

WHEREAS,  our  one  great  source  of  pro- 
tection must  come  in  the  main  from  the  pub- 
lisher, therefore 

BE  IT  RESOLVED,  that  this  practice  be 
frowned  upon  by  the  Association  and  that 
all  members  be  urged  to  maintain  prices,  and 
that  we  continue  to  urge  upon  the  publisher 
that  he  at  all  times  use  his  influence  in 
demonstrating  that  the  foundation  of  the 
good  health  of  the  retail  book-trade  depends 
upon  the  maintenance  of  a  fair  price. 

Mr.  Butler  :  I  think  that  raises  a  point 
that  the  publishers  cannot  touch.  The  pub- 
lisher cannot  urge  the  maintenance  of  prices. 

President  Herr  :  Yes>  he  can ;  the  mainte- 
nance of  his  own  price. 

Mr.  Butler:  He  cannot  use  any  pressure 
or  threaten  in  any  other  way.  except  to  indi- 
cate it  is  his  desire  to  have  it  done. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  unani- 
mously carried,  Resolution  No.  15  was  adopted 
as  read.] 

RESOLUTION   NUMBER   XVI 

RESOLVED,  that  the  ofRceri  of  this  Asso- 
ciation be  instructed  to  call  the  attention  of 
individual  publishers  immediately  to  a  con- 
dition which  threatens   to  undo  many  years 


1460 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


of  effort  to  stabilize  book  prices  and  to  urge 
upon  the  publisher  the  importance  of  an  im- 
mediate review  of  his  attitude  toward  stand- 
ardizing the  price  which  he  has  determined 
to  be  fair  and  to  inquire  whether  he  is  doing 
his  utmost  to  maintain  the  one  price  principle.

RESOLUTIOiN*   NUMBER   XVII. 

WHEREAS,  the  Fordney-McCumber  Tar- 
iff Bill,  as  now  before  Congress,  puts  un- 
needed  restraint  on  the  trade  between  foreign 
countries  and  the  American  book-trade  by 
duties  on  some  items  which  are  higher  than 
any  protective  needs,  while  of  little  value  as 
revenue ; 

RESOLVED,  that  the  American  Book- 
sellers' Association  protest  against  the  45  per 
cent  duty  on  leather  bindings  in  Paragraph 
1310  believing  that  half  of  that  would  give 
ample  protection  to  American  binders  under 
present  conditions;  that  they  protest  against 
a  70  per  cent  duty  on  toy  books,  Paragraph 
1414,  as  being  out  of  all  relation  to  the 
needs;  that  they  protest  against  the  duty  of 
25  per  cent  on  children's  books  in  Para- 
graph 1310;  this  should  be  no  higher  than 
on  other  books  which,  if  of  foreign  author- 
ship, is  15  per  cent,  in  Paragraph  1310;  that 
they  protest  against  that  wording  of  Para- 
graph 1529  of  the  Free  List  which  has  the 
effect  of  making  books  over  twenty  years  old 
dutiable  if  in  new  bindings. 

BE  IT  RESOLVED  also:  That  the  Asso- 
ciation commend  the  action  of  the  Senate 
Finance  Committee  for  their  wisdom  and 
breadth  of  vision  in  restoring  to  the  Free 
List  books  over  twenty  years  old  and  foreign 
language  books  and  in  fixing  the  rate  at 
15  per  cent  on  current  books  of  foreign 
authorship. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  unani- 
mously carried,  Resolution  No.  17  was  adopted 
as  read.] 

RESOLUTION  NUMBER  XVIII. 

WHEREAS,  a  bill  is  now  before  Congress 
which,  when  passed,  will  have  the  effect  of 
so  revising  the  copyright  laws  of  the  United 
States  that  this  country  can  enter  into  that 
family  of  literature-producing  nations  which 
form  the  Berne  Convention  and  which  grant 
to  each  other  full  rights  of  protection  on 
literary  property;   and 

WHEREAS,  this  new  relation  can  be  taken 
up    without    jeopardizing     the    interests    of 


American  printing  or  American  publishing; 
RESOLVED,  that  the  American  Book- 
sellers' Association  throw  all  the  weight  of 
its  influence  towards  the  passage  of  the  bill 
in  this  present  Congress  in  order  that  Amer- 
ican authorship  and  the  American  book-trade 
can  be  in  full  co-operative  fellowship  with 
the  world. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  unani- 
mously carried.  Resolution  No.  18  was  adopted 
as  read.] 

RESOLUTION  NUMBER  XIX 

WHEREAS,  it  is  evident  that  many  book- 
sellers manifest  a  failure  to  comprehend 
clearly  some  very  essential  features  of  their 
business  problems  which  have  a  bearing  on 
overhead  costs  such  as  mark-up,  deprecia- 
tion, salaries,  rentals,  etc., 

BE  IT  RESOLVED,  that  the  best  way  of 
arriving  at  this  information  be  presented  in 
the  form  of  a  printed  pamphlet,  concise  and 
readily  understandable,  and  a  copy  mailed  to 
every   member    of   this    Association. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  unani- 
mously carried,  Resolution  No.  19  was  adopted 
as  read.] 

RESOLUTION  NUMBER  XX 

RESOLVED,  that  we  reiterate  our  belief 
that  as  modern  merchandising  conditions  are 
such  that  average  operating  costs  of  the 
bookstores  are  from  30  per  cent  to  33-1/3  per 
cent,  the  minimum  discount  from  the  publish- 
ers should  be  1/3  to  5  per  cent,  and  it  is 
recommended  that  members  recognize  the 
fair  dealing  of  these  publishers  who  have  or 
will  adopt  this  minimum  discount. 

[Motion  made  and  seconded  that  the  resolu- 
tion be  adopted  as  read.] 

Mr.  Hamblen:  Mr.  Chairman,  I  think  you 
are  making  a  mistake.  I  want  to  prefix  all 
these  remarks.  First,  I  am  not  a  'book  buyer. 
I  am  a  manager  of  a  book  and  stationery  store. 
I  am  a  stationery  buyer.  Every  time  I  see 
one  of  those  bills  I  throw  it  aside  with  disp^ust. 
I  have  attended  quite  a  few  of  the  National 
Stationers'  Association  meetings  in  Qiicago, 
Philadelphia  and  around.  Several  years  ago 
we  didn't  think  we  could  get  the  stationery 
manufacturers  in  line.  They  were  giving  1-3 
and  5  per  cent  off.  The  loose  leaf  manufac- 
turers, who  publish  a  list  as  the  book  dealers 
do,  started  to  give  40-45  per  cent.  Now  they 
give  50  per  cent  off.  You  remember  how  the 
trade  hated  the  Dennison  Manufacturing  Com- 
pany, and  I  was  one  of  them.     The  discount 


May  20,  1922 


1461 


was  33  1-3  per  cent  for  a  quantity  purchase 
during  the  whole  year.  Now  they  say  to  the 
big  dealer  who  can  buy  from  them  to  the  extent 
of  $500  a  year,  which  means  $300  a  year  net, 
"We  will  give  you  40  per  cent  discount  on 
everything  you  buy  from  us,  whether  i  or  500." 
The  item  is  bought.  I  believe  the  publishers 
should  get  in  line  and  adopt  some  principle  of 
that  character.  I  am  speaking  for  the  small 
dealers  who  buy  five  copies  of  a  book.  They 
are  entitled  to  the  same  discount  as  a  large  fel- 
low. We  carry  a  general  line  of  books.  We 
take  the  publishers'  list  and  go  thru  them.  I  do 
not  think  the  present  discount  system  is  right.  I 
think  the  publishers  like  Scribner's  and  Hough- 
ton Mifflin  &  Co.  should  say  "If  you  buy  $100 
worth  from  us,  we  will  give  you  40  per  cent 
discount"  and  I  don't  believe  any  dealer  can  do 
the  business  under  40  per  cent.  Our  book 
business  last  year  was  one-third  of  our  total 
business.  Our  total  business  for  the  year  nets 
us  gross  40  per  cent  on  all  sales,  and  if  we 
didn't  have  our  other  business  to  keep  it  up, 
it  would  be  impossible  to  conduct  business. 
The  majority  of  the  publisher's  clientele  is 
made  up  of  small  dealers  and  not  large  dealers. 
If  they  are  going  to  sell  to  a  large  dealer  at 
40  per  cent,  why  does  the  small  dealer  get 
33  1-3  per  cent  off?  Make  a  quantity  price 
for  the  whole  year  and  not  on  one  order. 

Mr.  Hartog  :  I  move  that  we  include  text- 
books— one-third  off  on  all  books,  including 
text-books. 

President  Herr:  Motion  is  duly  made  and 
seconded  that  the  words:  "including  text- 
books" be  included  in  the  resolution.  Are 
there  any  remarks  to  the  amendment? 

Mr.  Kemp:  I  would  like  to  mention  one 
more  point— for  the  small  package,  the  insur- 
ance, postage  and  all  goes  in.  You  will  find 
it  included  in  your  bill,  just  as  you  do  if  you 
buy  five. 

Mr.  Keating:  I  think  we  would  all  enjoy 
getting  40  per  cent  off  or  1-3  or  5  per  cent  on 
text-books.  I  think  it  is  foolish  to  ask  it. 
There  is  no  chance  in  the  world,  in  my  opinion. 

Mr.  Foster  Brown  :  I  might  state  the  situa- 
tion in  Canada,  where  they  have  Government 
controlled  book  stores.  We  were  not  getting  a 
fair  discount  from  the  Government,  and  we 
took  it  up  with  the  minister  and  got  a  fair  dis- 
count. 

Mr.  Hutchinson:  I  believe  that  quantity 
should  govern  discount  on  the  purchase  of 
books. 

President  Herr:  Are  there  any  further 
remarks  on  the  amendment? 


[On  being  put  to  vote,  the  amendment  "in- 
cluding text-books"  was  lost.] 

[Motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  carried, 
that  the  resolution  be  adopted  as  read.] 

Mr.  Hutchinson:  This  is  an  Association 
of  booksellers,  it  is  true.  I  do  not  feel  that 
it  is  possible  for  the  publisher  to  handle  a 
small  order  for  the  same  price  as  a  large 
quantity  order.  Personally,  I  think*  the  quan- 
tity purchase  should  govern  the  price.  I  do 
not  think  the  small  dealer  buying  20,000  a  year 
should  be  entitled  to  the  same  price  as  the 
man  who  buys  five  or  ten  times  that  amount. 

RESOLUTION  NUMBER  XXI 

WHEREAS,  it  is  evident  that  the  practice 
of  billing  stock  orders  at  one  price  and  mail 
orders  at  another,  is  detrimental  to  the 
larger  distribution  of  books,  and  conse- 
quently is  a  disadvantage  to  the  interest  of 
both  producer  and   distributor. 

BE   IT   THEREFORE   RESOLVED,  that 

it  is  the  sense  of  this  body  that  travelers' 
orders  and  mail  orders  receive  the  same  dis- 
count, and  that  the  same  cash  discount  be 
allowed  on  each. 

BE  IT  FURTHER  RESOLVED,  that  it 
be  recommended  to  members  of  this  Associa- 
tion that  they  favor  those  publishers  who  are 
farsighted  enough  to  adopt  this  policy. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  unani- 
mously carried,  Resolution  No.  21  was  adopted 
as  read.] 

RESOLUTION  NUMBER  XXII 
WHEREAS,  the  vital  importance  to  all  in 
the  book-trade,  and  to  other  producers  and 
sellers,  is  "Price  Standardization,"  therefore 
every  possible  effort  should  be  made  to  have 
Congress  enact  the  Kelly  Bill.  To  that  end 
every  means  at  our  command  should  be  used. 
We  feel  that  there  is  no  more  effective  and 
competent  body  for  this  purpose  than  the 
American  Fair  Trade  League.  The  present 
time  is  conceded  as  the  most  opportune  yet 
presented  and  the  great  work  that  has  been 
done  thru  our  Association  should  not  be  lost. 
Such  work  must  of  necessity  require  finan- 
cial support,  and  for  our  own  benefit  as  well 
as  that  of  the  nation,  the  Association  ought 
and  must  do  its  part.  We,  therefore,  heartily 
recommend  that  our  Association  appropriate 
for  the  use  of  the  American  Fair  Trade 
League,  the  sum  of  $100,  for  one  year,  com- 
mencing forthwith,  feeling  no  better  use  can 
be  made  of  our  funds. 

[The  original  motion  was  to  appropriate  $50 
a  month  which  caused  the  following  discus- 
sion.] 


1462 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Mr.  Hutchinson  :  I  move  to  amend ;  that 
we  change  the  wording  of  the  motion  so  as 
to  carry  the  appropriation  of  fifty  dollars  in- 
stead of  six  hundred  dollars.  This  is  a  won- 
derful movement  but  we  certainly  ought  not 
to  appropriate  more  money  than  we  can  afford 
to  pay.  This  Association  does  not  want  to 
get  into  debt.  1  don't  know  of  anything  worse 
for  the  Association  than  to  get  into  debt.  I 
think  we  fiave  done  our  full  share  towards 
supporting  this  movement.  Last  year  we  gave 
one  hundred  dollars.  I  think  this  year,  with 
the  assistance  which  they  are  getting  all  over 
the  country  from  organizations  everywhere, 
that  our  share  should  not  be  over  fifty  dollars 
and  for  that  reason  I  make  the  motion, 

[Amendment  seconded.] 

Mr.  Butlet?  :  I  move  that  this  Association 
make  no  such  appropriation.  I  think  this 
Association  should  use  all  its  efforts  so  far  as 
the  Stephens-Kelly  Bill  is  concerned.  If  it 
receives  no  further  commendation,  I  will  be 
glad  to  resign  all  further  efforts  in  that  direc- 
tion and  have  nothing  further  to  do  with  it. 

[The  Amendment  was  lost.] 

Mr.  Kelly:  I  move  that  we  amend  that 
and  make  the  same  appropriation  as  last  year. 

President  Herr:  It  has  been  moved  to 
amend  the  resolution  and  make  the  appropria- 
tion one  hundred  dollars',  the  same  as  last 
year. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  unani- 
mously carried,  Resolution  No.  22  as  amended, 
was  adopted.] 

RESOLUTION  LOST 

We  believe  it  is  unjust  for  the  residents  of 
the  District  of  Columbia  to  be  deprived  of 
the  privileges  of  American  citizenship,  and  we 
urge  upon  the  law-making  bodies  the  import- 
ance of  legislation  that  will  give  the  right  of 
suffrage  to  all  eligible  residents. 

[Moved  and  seconded  that  the  resolution  be 
adopted  as  read.] 

Mr.  Melcher  :  I  wonder  if  we  are  fully 
informed  on  all  sides  of  the  question  of  the 
political  organization  of  the  District  of  Colum- 
bia. I  confess  that  I  do  not  feel  fully  in- 
formed and  would  feel  it  contrary  to  my  usual 
practice  to  cast  a  political  vote  when  I  do 
not  know  the  whole  story  on  it.  I  appreciate 
the  warm  welcome  given  us  by  the  representa- 
tive of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce,  but  it 
seems  to  me  we  are  not  ready  to  pass  a  resolu- 
tion. 

Mr.  Macauley:  It  doesn't  seem  to  me  that 
there   can  possibly  be  anything   right  in  thus 


unjustly  depriving  any  resident  of  the  United 
States  of  America  of  his  fundamental  right 
to  vote.  It  seems  to  me  an  old,  old  law  like 
some  of  the  Blue  Laws  that  have  been  carried 
down  to  our  present  time  and  have  done  away 
with.  We  should  reciprocate  the  courtesy  of 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce  by  passing  this 
resolution. 

Mr.  Burkhardt:  The  taxicab  driver  who 
drove  us  around  Washington  the  other  day 
said  they  didn't  want  the  vote  because  there 
were  two-thirds  of  the  population  who  were 
negroes   here. 

Mr  Jacobs  :  I  agree  with  all  that  Mr.  Mel- 
cher has  said.  Our  appreciation  has  nothing 
whatever  to  do  with  the  political  affairs  and 
I  therefore  move  that  the  resolution  be  laid  on 
the  table. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  carried, 
the  Resolution  was  laid  on  the  table.] 

RESOLUTION  NUMBER  XXIII 

RESOLVED,  that  we  express  our  heartiest 
appreciation  of  the  high  order  of  service  that 
has  been  rendered  this  Association  by  its 
honored  President,  Eugene  L.  Herr,  who  thru 
many  long  years  of  devoted  effort  to  the 
cause  of  bookselling,  has  placed  this  Asso- 
ciation and  all  connected  with  our  pro- 
fession,  under  lasting  obligation. 

Miss  Marion  Dodd  took  the  Chair. 

Mr.  Hutchinson  :  I  move  the  adoption  of 
this  motion  as  read,  and  that  the  vote  be  a 
rising  vote. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  carried, 
Resolution  No.  22,  was  adopted  by  a  standing 
vote.] 

RESOLUTION  NUMBER   XXIV 

RESOLVED,  that  this  Convention  recom- 
mend to  the  Executive  Committee  that  the 
Convention  of  1923  be  held  in  Detroit, 
Michigan. 

Mr.  Macauley  :  I  move  the  adoption  of 
this  resolution  and  extend  a  most  cordial  in- 
vitation to  hold  the  next  convention  in  our 
city.  We  will  take  good  care  of  you,  and  we 
want  you. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  unani- 
mously carried,  Resolution  No.  24  was  adopted 
as  read.] 

President  Herr  :  We  will  now  have  the 
Report  of  the  Committee  on  Nominations,  Mr. 
Lewis. 


May  20,  1922 


[463 


Report  of  the  Committee  on  Nominations 
By  Walter  S.  Lewis,  Chairman 


THE  Constitution  of  our  Association  pro- 
vides for  the  election  each  year  of  two 
Honorary  Members ;  either  men  or  women 
who  are  non-booksellers,  yet  whose  service  to 
the  craft  of  bookselling  is  definite  and  of 
great  importance. 

Your  Nominating  Committee  would,  at  this 
time,  recommend  for  Honorary  Membership 
R.  R.  Bowker,  of  New  York  City,  and  Thor- 
vald  Solberg,  of  Washington,  D.  C. 

Mr.  Bowker's  more  than  forty  years  activity 
in  standing  back  of  the  Publishers'  Weekly 
has  had  a  very  important  influence  in  the 
trade. 

It  so  happens  that  there  is  before  Congress 
now  a  copyright  bill  that  would  bring  the 
United  States  into  full  international  brother- 
hood with  the  rest  of-  the  world.  The  bill 
as  drawn  is  more  Mr.  Bowker's  work  than 
anyone's  else,  and  its  passage  will  be  as  epo- 
chal as  our  first  step  forward  in  1891,  when 
we  granted  international  copyright  on  condi- 
tion that  the  book  be  manufactured  in  this 
country.  The  difficulties  of  adjusting  the  in- 
terests in  such  a  legislation  are  extraordinary, 
as  copyright  is  one  of  the  most  complicated 
forms  of  law. 

Mr.  Solberg  has  just  completed  twenty-five 
years  in  the  Office  of  Register  of  Copyrights 
a  service  of  fundamental  importance  to  all  who 
handle  books,  and  at  the  same  time  is  celebrating 
the  seventieth  anniversary  of  his  birth,  being 
a  Wisconsin  man.  It  seems  that  he  began  his 
business  life  as  a  bookseller  and  attended  the 
first  Booksellers'  Convention  ever  held  in  the 
United  States,  which  was  at  Put-in-Bay.  July 
2ist-23rd,  1874,  which  Mr.  Bowker  also 
attended. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  unani- 
mously carried,  Mr.  Bowker  of  New  York 
City  and  Mr.  Solberg  of  Washington,  D.  C. 
were  accepted  as  honorary  members  of  the 
American  Booksellers'  Association.] 

I  will  now  read  the  report  of  the  Nomina- 
ting Committee: 

By  unanimous  action,  the  Nominating  Com- 
mittee herewith  recommends  the  following 
named  persons  for  the  Association's  offices  for 
the  ensuing  year:

Co.,    Syracuse. 

1st  Vice-President,  J.  Joseph  Estabrook.  of

2nd  Vice-President,  Mrs.  Ida  J.  Watson,  of 
the  Glass  Block  Store,  Duluth. 

3rd  Vice-President,  Seeley  Conover,  of  Am- 
sterdam, N.  Y. 


THE    RETIRING    PRESIDENT,    EUGENE    L.    HERR    AND

Publisher  of  the  Bookseller  and  Sta- 
tioner,  New    York    City. 

Treasurer,  John  G.  Kidd,  of  Stewart  Kidd 
Co.,  Cincinnati. 

For  members  of  the   Board  of  Trade — five 
to  be  elected  for  term  of  three  years: 

L.  W.  McFarland.  Adams  Bookstore.  Fall 
River. 

SimcHi  L.  Xyc.  oi  S.  Kami  Sons  Co.,  Wash- 
ington. 

Ralph  Wilson,  of  McDevitt-Wilson  Co..  New 
York  Gty. 

John  T.  Hotchkiss.  of  the  J.  K.  Gill  Com- 
pany.  Portland.   Oregon. 

C  G.  Graucr.  of  Otto  Ulbrich  Co.,  Buffalo. 

TMr.  HuTcniNSON:    I  move  that  the  report 
he  received  and  that  we  proceed  to  ballot.]

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


Our  Constitution  provides  that  any  ten  mem- 
bers may  in  writing  nominate  anyone  eligible

Walter  V.  McKee:  Mr.  President.  May 
I  preface  the  motion  I  am  about  to  make 
with  a  few  remarks.     New  times  create  new 


necessities  and  sometimes  make  it  necessary 
that  precedents  be  broken.  Some  of  you  per- 
haps have  been  wondering  a  good  deal  about 
this  Reconstruction  Ticket  because  it  breaks 
a  precedent  in  the  nomination  of  the  officers  of 
our  Association.  Knowing,  perhaps,  somewhat 
more  about  it  than  many  of  you  sitting  here, 
because  I  happen  to  be  one  of  the  signers  of 
the  request  to  the  committee,  I  thought  it 
might  be  well  to  tell  you  about  it.  We  want 
you,  we,  who  have  presented  these  nomina- 
tions to  you,  to  understand  that  this  ticket  is 
in  no  way  in  opposition  to  or  in  criticism  of 
any  of  the  nominations  that  are  being  made 
by  our  Nominating  Committee.  It  means  that 
while  we  have  been  deliberating  here  during 
the  last  few  days,  a  group  of  our  members 
have  also  been  looking  forward  toward  the 
coming  year  and  planning  how  best  to  meet 
the  problems — many  of  them  new  and  legis- 
lative problems  that  we  have  never  had  to 
deal  with  before,  and  how  they  best  could  be 
met  and  it  seems  that  men  who  could  meet 
these  problems  best  would  be  men  possessed 
of  certain  qualities — tthe  qualification  of  youth 
— the  qualification  of  fighting  instinct — men  who 
could  work  and  young  men  who  are  not  afraid 
of  hard  work. 

There  are  also  some  geographical  considera- 
tions. It  seemed  to  us  that  the  officers  should 
be, elected  from  large  towns  so  when  we  go  to 
the  capital  to  deliberate  with  those  in  power, 
we  would  get  perhaps  a  larger  measure  of 
consideration  than  if  our  officers  were  repre- 
sentatives from  very  small  towns.  It  also 
appeared  that  another  geographical  consid- 
eration would  be  that  these  men  might  live 
perhaps  in  towns  that  were  quite  close  or  ad- 
jacent to  each  other  so  they  could  work  advan- 
tageously together  and  we  felt  that  every  sec- 
tion of  the  country  should  be  represented  on 
this  ticket,  and  so  as  you  glance  over  the  ticket, 
I  think  you  will  agree  with  me  that  the  men 
we  have  taken  are  men  with  all  of  these 
qualifications. 

We  have  Simon  L.  Nye  from  Washington, 
our  capital  city ;  J.  Joseph  Estabrook  from  Bal- 
timore, who  will  be  near  enough  to  confer  with 
Mr.  Nye  at  all  times  on  problems  which  the 
President  for  the  coming  year  must  meet.  It 
will  also  enable  them  to  be  on  the  ground 
where  many  things  are  going  to  happen  the 
next  year  which  make  it  necessary  to  have 
representatives  and  officers  in  the  capital  city 
of  our  country.  We  also  have  the  large  city 
of  Portland,  Oregon,  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  rep- 
resented by  Mr.  Hotchkiss;  Baltimore,  by  Mr. 
Remington;  and  Cincinnati  by  Mr.  Kidd,  and 
believing  these  men  possess  the  qualifications 
that  will  help  us  solve  the  problems  for 
the  coming  year,  I  move  their  names  be  placed 
in   nomination    for   election  by   ballot. 


May  20,  1922 

H.  S.  Hutchinson  :  I  wish  to  second  that 
motion,  that  we  proceed  to  ballot  on  the  tickets 
that  have  been  presented. 

F.  G.  Melcher:  I  have  only  had  the  in- 
formation which  most  of  the  rest  of  you  have 
had--of  having  this  new  ballot  in  my  hand 
and  of  hearing  the  other  read,  I  don't  believe 
we  should  vote  without  going  over  these  bal- 
lots and  making  real  comparison  and  criticism. 
The  first  criticism  of  the  new  ballot  is  one  that 
someone  else  might  voice  rather  than  myself, 
but  it  seems  to  me  that  with  the  membership 
of  the  American  Booksellers'  Association  as  now 
constituted,  and  considering  the  character  of 
the  new  contributions  now  being  made  to  book- 
selling, to  elect  the  officers  on  this  new  ticket, 
without  having  one  woman  on  it,  is  a  very 
serious  criticism  of  our  judgment.  I  know 
how  much  is  being  contributed  by  them,  and 
we  should  recognize  it,  not  begrudgingly,  but 
enthusiastically.     That  change  should  be  made. 

Perhaps  some  one  longer  in  the  Association 
than  myself  would  like  to  speak  on  the  Presi- 
dential nomination.  No  one  who  has  watched 
this  convention  and  the  way  it  has  been  handled 
in  Washington,  realizing  that  perhaps  a 
record  in  smoothness  and  efficiency  has  been 
established,  would  want  to  question  the  nomin- 
ation ofi  Mr.  Nye.  But  none  of  us  who  have 
been  much  in  the  organization  work  want  to 
fail  to  give  our  recognition  to  Mr.  Keating 
and  to  his  continuing  contribution  to  booksell- 
ing. 

I  want  also  to  say  that  we  would  make  a 
great  mistake,  with  all  due  respect  to  Balti- 
more, to  do  anything  that  would  seem  to  indi- 
cate laak  of  appreciation  of  what  Miss  Walker 
has  done.  I  was  secretary  before  Miss  Walker 
and  I  know  what  the  job  is  better  than  most 
of  you,  and  it  is  hard  work.  This  is  her 
first  full  year  and  if  nothing  else  were  done,  I 
should  stand  here  and  fight  for  a  showing 
that  we  do  appreciate  ^the  workj  of  Miss 
Walker  for  the  last  year.  The  twelve  names 
are  suitable  but  these  are  some  of  the  things 
that  should  be  in  our  minds  when  we  vote. 

Charles  E.  Butler:  This  is  not  a  ques- 
tion as  to  qualification  of  the  members.  It 
is  purely  a  question  of  locality.  Now,  at  this 
time,  Washington  is  the  whole  center  of  our 
ambition.  We  are  striving  all  we  can  as  an 
organization  by  making  a  national  propaganda, 
as  you  all  know.  You  heard  Congressman 
Kelly  and  Commissioner  Davies  and  all  the 
others  who  talked  in  favor  of  that  bill.  I 
can  tell  you  from  experience  that  no  man  in 
New  York  City,  or  in  Syracuse  or  in  Phila- 
delphia, can  attempt  to  reside  in  those  local- 
ities and  at  the  same  time  have  working  in 
this  city  an  organization  that  will  constantly 
watch    the   interests    and    the    welfare   of   this 


1465 

Association  thru  the  Kelly  Bill,  which  they  can 
do  by  being  in  daily  touch  with  members  of 
Congress,  with  tlie  Administration.  I  ad- 
vocate supporting  this  motion,  and  that  the 
election  of  the  regular  ticket,  as  you  might 
say,  be  postponed  for  another  year,  as  no 
better  officers  could  be  elected  than  those  nam- 
ed, but  for  this  year  we  should  appoint  a 
War  Cabinet  and  we  should  have  at  the  seat 
of  war  men  who  are  constantly  alert,  ready 
to  act  and  to  carry  out  the  desires  and  ambi- 
tions and  the  hopes  of  this  Association,  on 
which  the  future  prosperity  of  everyone  of 
us  depends. 

J.  C.  Kemp  (Pittsburgh)  :  I  may  be  against 
a  new  thing  at  ,the  start,  but  when  I  see  some- 
thing that  looiks  good,  1  am  for  it,  and  when 
I  am  for  it,  I  usually  vote  for  it.  I  am  in 
favor  of  Mr.  Nye  as  President  because  no 
one  could  come  to  this  beautiful  city  and  at- 
tend this  convention  without  seeing  the  great 
ability  and  the  great  amount  of  work  that  Mr. 
Nye  has  put  into  the  entertainment.  He  has 
done  the  work  well.  There  hasn't  been  a  hitch, 
even  as  to  the  weather.  He  promised  good 
weather  and  we  are  going  to  get  it.  H  we 
elect  him,  we  cannot  do  otherwise  than  give 
him  all  assistance. 

Therefore,  all  the  rest  of  this  ticket  should 
be  elected  with  Mr.  Nye.  He  has  been  able 
to  stand  alongside  of  President  Harding  nice- 
ly and  introduce  the  booksellers.  I  have  no 
doubt  he  has  spent  many  anximis  days  and 
nights  in  getting  peojile  to  come  here  and  take 
part  in  the  way  he  has  done.  Therefore,  for 
myself,  from  the  Middle  West,  I  would  say 
that  I  am  very  happy  to  be  able  to  testify  my 
approval  of  the  people  who  have  helped  to 
make  this  convention  a  success  and  I  second 
the  nomination  of  Mr.  Nye  and  all  the  other 
people  with  him,  with  the  idea  that  Mr.  Nye 
is  on  the  ground  and  it  will  put  us  in  touch 
with  something  that  will  give  us  something 
for  many  years  to  come.  If  these  things  are 
going  to  be  accomplished,  they  are  going  to 
be  accomplished  because  of  somebody  here  on 
the  ground.  He  doesn't  impress  me  as  being 
easy  to  get  rid  of  by  being  placed  in  the  waste- 
basket,  and  I  am  glad  to  have  the  opportunity 
of  seconding  his  nomination. 

C.  E,  Campbell:  I  came  from  Portland, 
Maine,  way  across  the  continent — from  con- 
servative New  England — how  conservative  you 
can  find  out  by  asking  any  travelling  man  who 
makes  New  England.  I  came,  trying  to  get 
some  message  of  enthusiasm  that  I  could  take 
back  to  New  England  to  help  me  in  the  fifty- 
two  weeks  of  bookselling  ahead  of  us.  I  re- 
ceived that  message  and  can  take  it  back.  I 
know  you  all  would  like  to  have  fifty-two 
weeks  ahead  of  you  under  the  efficient  leader-

ship  of  the  group  of  officers  headed  by  Mr. 
Nye  and  Mr.  Estabrook,  and  I  second  their 
nomination. 

Mary  B.  Smith  :  May  I  ask  whether  the 
people  whose  names  are  printed  on  this  second 
ticket  allowed  their  names  to  be  so  used 

President  Herr  :     I  take  it  so. 

Walter  McKee  :  As  is  usually  the  cus- 
tom, all  of  these  people  were  approached  to 
ascertain  whether  or  not,  if  elected,  they  would 
assume  the  offices  and  they  have  all  agreed, 
and  are  all,  I  might  say,  anxious  to.  If  they 
are  elected,  they  will  probably  be  the  most 
enthusiastic  and  most  hard-working  officers 
this  Association  has  ever  had.  I  have  found 
out  since  I  came  to  Washington,  what  the 
members  of  the  committee  working  under  Mr. 
Nye  think  of  him,  and  they  are  all  unanimous 
in  saying  that  practically  all  of  the  hard  work 
that  has  been  done  to  make  the  convention  a 
success,  and  afl  the  annoying  details  have  been 
arranged  for  and  performed  by  Mr.  Nye  per- 
sonally and  if  you  take  a  good  look  at  him, 
he  looks  as  if  he  should  be  in  bed. 

The  office  of  first  Vice-President  has  been 
heretofore  somewhat  of  an  honorary  office  in 
this  Association.  He  has  lived  a  thousand 
miles  or  more  away  from  the  President,  has 
had  his  name  on  the  stationery  and  has  got 
a  little  publicity  that  way,  and  has  felt  honor- 
ed. I  want  to  call  your  attention  to  this  fact, 
by  having  Mr.  Estabrook,  first  Vice-President, 
who  lives  in  BaJtimore,  only  one  hour  away 
irom  Washington,  and  instead  of  one  Presi- 
dent, we  will  have  two  Presidents  by  electing 
this  ticket. 

Walter  S.  Lewis:  Mr.  Chairman,  I  believe 
there  is  no  one  in  the  hall  today  who  has  a 
greater  affection  for  Mr.  Nye  than  I  have. 
We  have  been  very  closely  attached  to  each 
other  for  a  good  many  years.  That  is  my 
personal  feeling  for  Mr.  Nye,  and  I  think  no 
one  appreciates  more  than  I  do  the  wonder- 
ful work  he  has  done  as  Chairman  of  the 
Convention  in  Washington  this  year.  I  have 
been  astounded  myself  to  see  how  smoothly 
the  machinery  has  gone  and  how  splendidly 
he  has  equipped  his  committee  to  carry  out 
this  work,  and  I  fully  agree  with  all  that  has 
been  said  regarding  his  ability,  but  I  don't 
want  the  members  of  this  convention  to  forget 
that  Mr.  Nye  is  a  comparatively  recent  comer 
in  the  American  Booksellers*  Association.  While 
he  has  been  a  member  in  it  he  has  done 
valiant  work. 

I  also  wish  to  bring  the  attention  of  the 
members  of  this  Association,  if  it  comes  to 
a  question  of  how  much  has  been  accomplished 
by  certain  nominees  on  our  tickets  today,  that 


Mr.  Keating  has  for  a  great  many  years— 1 
would  not  dare  say  how  many — fifteen  years 
possibly— been  one  of  the  most  earnt^t  and 
competent  and  faithful  and  efficient  support- 
ers of  all  good  things  in  the  American  book 
business  in  the  United  States.  I  have  known 
of  his  work  for  that  number  of  years  and 
of  the  ideas  that  he  has  initiated  as  a  member 
of  the  Board  of  Trade  of  the  American  Book- 
sellers' Association  and  as  Secretary  for  pos- 
sibly two  or  three  years.  All  thru/  these  years 
we  have  had  the  benefit  of  his  experience  and 
his  intelligence  in  the  work  of  our  Association. 

Vernor  M.  Schenck:  I  wish  first  to 
commend  the  judgment  of  whoever  made  up 
this  slate.  They  are  all  men  of  high  calibre 
whom  we  all  respect  most  highly.  I  am  pos- 
itive no  one  could  exceed  my  own  estimate 
of  every  man  on  this  ticket.  On  the  other 
hand,  I  want  to  second  what  Mr.  Lewis  has 
just  said.  I  really  dislike  the  intimation  that 
the  ticket  presented  by  the  Nominating  Com- 
mittee is  a  ticket  which  is  made  up  of  men 
who  are  too  old  to  be  efficient.  Experience 
should  surely  be  worth  something.  I  am  pos- 
itive that  Mr.  Keating  is  not  yet  ranked 
among  the  old  men.  If  he  is,  I  know  where 
my  place  would  be,  and  I  don't  want  to  take 
that  place  yet.  Furthermore,  after  years  of 
service  with  Mr.  Keating  on  the  committees 
of  all  sorts  of  the  American  Booksellers'  As- 
sociation, I  have  learned  to  know  that. he  has 
all  of  the  qualifications  which  a  President  of 
this  Association  ought  to  possess.  I  know 
that  if  we  choose  him  as  our  President,  we 
shall  never  regret  the  choice;  we  shall  be 
proud  of  him  and  of  the  record  which  he  will 
make.  With  all  respect  to  the  ticket  as  nomin- 
ated, and  I  i.  .ow  everyone  on  this  ticket  real- 
izes that  I  am  his  friend  and  will  support  him 
if  elected,  I  personally  would  like,  and  shall 
vote   for  Mr.   Keating  as   President. 

HI  S.  Hutchinson:  I  move  that  we  pro- 
ceed to  vote  for  the  officers  for  the  ensuing 
year. 

President  Herr  :  I  will  appoint  Mr.  Hutch- 
inson as  Judge  of  Election,  and  Mr.  Schulte 
and  Mr.  Freud  as  tellers.  If  there  are  any 
non-members  in  the  room,  they  are  not  entitled 
to   vote. 

Member  :  Do  we  make  a  cross  against  each 
of  these  names,  or  do  we  just  drop  the  ballot 
in. 

President  Herr  .-  This  contest  came  about 
at  the  last  moment  and  we  couldn't  have  print- 
ed ballots  prepared.  A  number  of  written 
ballots  have  been  prepared  for  the  report  of 
the  Nominating  Committee  but  not  enough 
to  go  round.     Blank  sheets  of   paper   can  be

secured  for  those  who  want  to  vote  for  the 
regular  ticket— for  the  Nominating  Commit- 
tee's ticket.  If  you  want  to  vote  either  straight 
ticket,  write  it  out  and  hand  it  in.  If  you  want 
to  split  the  tidket,  fasten  the  two  parts  together 
and  hand  them  in.  Members  who  are  paying 
a.  fee  of  five  dollars  are  entitled  to  vote.  The 
ballot  for  officers  is  cast,  and  the  polls  are 
closed.  In  the  Nominating  Committee's  re- 
port there  are  five  names  for  the  Board  of 
Trade.  Is  there  a  motion  for  the  Secretary 
to   cast   a  ballot   for  these  nominees? 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  car- 
ried, the  Secretary  cast  a  vote  for  the  follow- 
ing five  members  for  the  Board  of  Trade  for 
three  years : 

L.  W.  McFarland,  Adams  Bookstore,  Fall 
River,   Mass. 

Simon  L.  Nye,  S.  Kann  Sons  Co.,  Wash- 
ington. 

Ralph  Wilson,  McDevitt- Wilson  Oo.,  New 
York. 

John  T.  Hotchkiss,  J.  K.  Gill  Co.,  Portiand, 
Ore. 

C.  G.  Gauer,  Otto  Ulbrich  Co.,  Buffalo, 
N.  Y. 

Mr  Shoemaker:  Mr.  Chairman,  what  I 
have  to  say  should  more  properly  come  from 
a  bookseller  than  a  publisher,  but  I  fear  it 
is  going  to  be  overlooked ;  that  is,  I  think  there 
should  be  some  word  of  greeting  and  of  sym- 
pathy extended  to  a  former  President  of  this 
Association.  The  years  are  going  by  so  fast 
that  probably  some  of  us  have  forgotten  the 
services  that  were  rendered  by  John  J.  Wood. 
It  so  happens  that  Mr.  Wood  is  a  resident  of 
Philadelphia  and  will  probably  see  me  more 
frequently  than  anyone  else  in  the  trade.  He 
is  far  from  well  physically  and  while  he  has 
not  told  me  his  circumstances,  I  am  afraid 
he  is  not  at  all  in  the  state  of  affiuence.  I 
am  not  making  any  appeal  for  financial  aid 
for  him,  and  we  can  probably  do  nothing  to 
contribute  to  his  physical  condition,  but  I  think 
as  a  man  who  was  two  or  three  years  Presi- 
dent of  the  Association,  it  would  be  very  nice 
for  us  to  send  some  word  of  greeting  and 
to  express  our  sympathy  to  him  and  hope  that 
he  may  be  quickly  restored  to  his  normal 
strength.  I  make  a  motion  that  a  note  or  a 
telegram  of  some  kind  of  appreciation  be  sent 
to  Mr.  John  J.  Wood  from  the  Association. 

[On  motion  duly  made,  seconded  and  unani- 
mously carried,  it  was  so  ordered.] 

President  Herr  :  Mr.  Butler  has  a  few 
remarks  for  the  iD^nefit  of  the  Board  of  Trade. 

Mr  Butler  :  I  would  like  to  bring  up  a 
matter  that  is  of  very  considerable  importance 
to  us  and  to  the  Association  and  that  is  the 
present   constitution    of   the   Board   of   Trade. 


In  my  judgment,  the  Board  of  Trade  is  not 
a  good  working  body.  We  have  a  member- 
ship in  many  cities  of  the  Union,  many  of 
which  never  reach  us  even  by  communication 
and  it  is  only  Philadelphia  that  really  supports 
us, — Walter  Lewis  and  George  W.  Jacobs—' 
who  come  over  quite  constantly.  I  believe 
there  ought  to  be  a  radical  change  and  I  sub- 
mit it  to  this  Association.  I  believe  and  ad- 
vocate that  the  entire  Board  be  wiped  out  from 
the  Chairman  down;  that  a  new  element  be 
put  into  it;  that  the  Board  should  consist  of 
not  more  than  five  members.  Five  men  can 
do  much  better  work  located  in  the  city  wher- 
ever that  Board  is  located,  than  any  body  of 
fifteen  men.  You  can  imagine  what  it  means 
if  you  have  a  meeting  once  a  month  or  two 
months.  A  man  comes  once  and  then  doesn't 
come  for  five  meetings.  He  doesn't  know  what 
is  going  on.  I  think  it  would  be  better  for 
the  Association  to  have  a  new  element  put  in, 
and  I  would  suggest  to  the  Chairman  that  this 
matter  be  referred  to  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee for  consideration  and  whatever  changes 
may  be  necessary  to  be  made. 

President  Herr  :  Are  there  any  matters  of 
interest  for  the  welfare  of  the  Association  to 
be   brought   up? 

On  motion  duly  made  by  Mr.  Butler  and 
seconded  by_Mr.  Ralph  Wilson,  Mr.  Butler's 
suggestion  that  the  Board  of  Trade  be  re- 
organized and  have  a  membership  of  five  mem- 
bers was  referred  to  the  Executive  Committee 
of  the  Association. 

Mr  Macauley  :  It  would  require  consti- 
tutional action. 

F*REsiDENT  Herr:  Article  6  covering  the 
constitution  and  powers  of  the  Board  of  Trade 
will  have  to  be  amended  and  revised. 

Mr.  Butler  :  The  Executive  Committee  in 
the  meantime  could  take  it  up  and  consider 
it  and   report  later   on. 

President  Herr  :  That  doesn't  affect  the 
constitution  or  duties  or  relations  of  the  Board 
of  Trade  until  such  amendment  is  adopted. 
The  Board  of  Trade  exists  as  constituted  and 
has  the  same  powers  until  there  is  such  a  re- 
vision of  the  By-laws.  It  simply  opens  the 
whole   question. 

Mr.  Butler  :  That's  the  idea;  to  work  out 
some  worktJig  system. 

President  Herr  :  I  have  a  report  from 
the  tellers  that  it  will  be  at  least  one-half 
hour  before  they  can  complete  the  counting 
of  the  ballots.      On  the  boat  tonight  we  will 

have  the  final    •«'•'»♦ '"-^  ♦>    -ive   the    report 

of  the  tellers.

The  Social  Features  of  the  Convention 


As  was  to  have  been  expected,  the  adop- 
tion of  the  Capital  for  the  convention 
city  opened  up  wonderful  possibilities 
in  the  way  of  convention  pleasures,  and  the 
weather  man  helped  the  committee  by  giving 
the  large  delegation  a  remarkable  four  days. 
Many  people  began  to  arrive  in  the  city  on 
Sunday,  so  that  there  was  much  informal  sight- 
seeing before  the  announced  program  began. 
On  Monday  evening  arrangements  were  made 
for  informal  visits  to  the  Congressional 
Library,  and  those  who  had  been  there  prev- 
iously took  the  moonlit  evening  to  go  in  many 
other  directions  over  the  city. 

The  Costume  Ball 

At  noon  after  the  Tuesday  session,  about 
three  hundred  of  the  rapidly  increasing  number 
of  delegates  were  gathered  on  the  south  steps  of 
the  Treasury  Building,  which  makes  an  un- 
matchable  place  for  group  photographs.  On 
Tuesday  evening  the  Women's  National  Book 
Association  gave  a  Colonial  dance  in  the  con- 
vention hall,  and  prizes  were  awarded  to  Ralph 
Wilson  and  Miss  L.  B.  Stevenson  for  the  best 
costumes.  There  was  much  more  enthusiasm 
about  the  dancing  and  the  music  than  there 
was  about  coming  in  costume,  and  not  many 
were  prepared  with  the  special  regalia.  The 
convention  hall,  with  windows  on  both  sides, 
and  the  wonderful  moonlit  open  balcony  look- 
ing over  the  city  was  a  place  that  would  make 
any  dance  successful,  even  if  to  this  there  had 
not  been  added  a  perfect  orchestra.

(In  Jazz  Rhythm) 
By   Florence    Scott   Hurst 

ALOFT 
A  cage  of  birds: 
The  players, 
Black  coated,  white  breasted, 
Strange  voiced,— 
Stri  lent,  screaming, 
Jazzing,  jerking, 


Soothing,   crooning, 

Sweetly  stirring. 

The  birds 

A-flutter  there 

Like  gymnasts, 

Arms   stretching,   legs  pointing,^ 

Strange  pose! 

Weirdly   wailing, 

Jazzing,  jerking, 

Shouting,   singing. 

Long-drawn  sighing. 

Below 

A  whirl  of  life: 

The  dancers. 

Gay  colors,   quaint  costumes, 

Close   held, 

Bodies   swaying 

Jazzing,  jerking, 

Walking,   sliding. 

Smoothly  gliding. 

The  crowd 

A  tune  to  sound,

All  touched. 

Hearts  all  bounding 

Jazzing,   jerking, 

Eyes  upturning. 

Feet  fast  tripping.

Along  the  wall : 
The  watchers 
Responsive,  conversing 
O'erheard : 
"Old  time  dancing? 
Minueting? 
Swinging,  strolling,

May  20,  1922 

At  noon  on  Wednesday  the  whole  convention 
adjourned  from  the  Hotel  Washington  to  visit 
the  White  House  and  to  meet  President  Har- 
ding. It  would  seem  that  not  a  single  delegate 
or  member  of  delegate's  family  missed  this 
occasion,  for,  when  the  last  person  had  filed 
by  and  shaken  the  hand  of  the  President,  the 
White  House  guard  said  that  five  hundred  and 
sixty  had  been  in  the  line.  The  convention  felt 
that  it  had  been  deeply  honored  in  having  the 
President  arrange  this  special  reception,  and 
none  of  those  who  shook  his  hand  for  the 
first  time  will  forget  his  quiet,  genial  attitude 
toward  this  part  of  his  public  life.  Previous 
to  the  reception  the  public  rooms  in  the  White 
House  were  visited. 

On  Wednesday  evening  special  cars  left 
Pennsylvania  Avenue  for  the  steamboat  wharf, 
and  a  large  river  boat  with  double  decks  took 
some  three  or  four  hundred  people  for  a  long 
moonlight  sail  down  on  the  Potomac  and 
back  just  before  midnight.  Dancing  was  en- 
joyed on  board,  and  refreshments  were  served. 
The  opportunity  which  a  boat  gives  for  friendly 
visiting  among  old  acquaintances  and  ne\\^  con- 
vention friends  made  that  form  of  trip  partic- 
ularly enjoyable.  The  results  of  the  afternoon 
election  were  announced  on  the  boat,  and  there 
was  much  congratulation  of  the  new  President, 
both  on  his  election  and  on  the  perfection  of 
the  convention  arrangements. 

With  all  convention  work  out  of  the  way, 
the  delegates  turned,  on  Thursday,  to  complete 
enjoyment  of  sightseeing  and  good  times.  At 
9 :30  special  cars  and  trailers  left  on  the  electric 
railway  for  Virginia,  and  an  hour  later  they 
were  unloaded  at  Arlington  on  the  first  stage 
of  an  enjoyable  day.  The  weather  was  the 
perfection  of  what  one  would  wish  to  have  for 
a  May  day  in  Washington.  The  long  file  took 
its  course  out  thru  the  burial  plateau  where 
lie  the  country's  dead,  pausing  for  a  few 
moments  beside  the  impressive  monument  to 
those  who  died  on  the  Maine,  and  then  passing 
on  to  the  supremely  perfect  amphitheater,  that 
newly  completed  gem  of  architecture  where 
President  Harding  delivered  on  Armistice  Day 
his  famous  address  at  the  burial  of  the  Un- 
known Soldier.  The  guide  of  the  party  took 
the  platform  to  describe  the  details  of  the 
amphitheater  plan  and  purpose,  and  then  the 
party  filed  thru  the  crypt  and  out  where  the 
tomb  of  the  Unknown  Soldier  was  erected. 
Just  as  the  party  passed  out  in  that  direction, 
pall-bearers  were  bringing  from  the  crypt  for 
interment  the  last  of  the  American  soldiers  who 
came  from  France.  From  the  new  amphi- 
theater a  walk  was  taken  to  the  old,  less 
formal  amphitheater,  and  thence  to  the  Arling-

THERK  WAS  AMPLE  TIME  TO  REST  AT  MOUNT 
VERNON  AND  A  COOL  BREEZE  OVER  THE  LAWNS. 
ANDREW  PIERCE,  OF  BOSTON,  IS  IN  PROFILE,  JOHN 
KIDD  BACKS  UP  MISS  CUGELL,  PRESIDENT  NYE 
STANDS. 

General  Washington,  and  the  home  of  General 
Lee.  The  view  from  this  spot  over  the  Capitol 
city  on  a  May  day  is  one  of  the  unparalleled 
views  of  the  world.  After  boarding  the  train 
again,  a  trip  was  made  to  Alexandria,  with  op- 
portunity to  visit  Christ  Church  and  to  see  the 
old  box  pew  of  Washington  and  the  pew  of 
General  Lee,  who  worshiped  there  till  the  Civil 
War.  The  pulpit  and  its  woodwork  are  today 
the  same  as  in  Washington's  time,  and  the  old 
chandelier  for  candles  still  hangs  under  the 
balcony.  During  the  trip  from  Alexandria  to 
Mt.  Vernon,  a  box  lunch  was  served,  and  such 
ample  time  was  allowed  for  the  stop  at  the 
home  of  the  first  President  that  all  had  oppor- 
tunity to  see  every  part  of  the  house  and 
grounds  and  to  take  a  rest  in  the  cool  breezes 
that  came  over  the  fields.  Mt.  Vernon,  as  every- 
one knows,  is  one  of  those  historic  spots  that 
is  just  exactly  what  one  would  hope  and  wish 
it  to  he,  and  on  a  warm  May  day  with  the 
green  fresh  on  the  trees  and  the  flowers  bril- 
liant in  the  gardens  it  makes  an  impression 
that  can  never  be  cflFaced.

The  Banquet 

THE  great  banquet  hall  of  the  Hoiel  Wash- 
ington proved  to  be  one  of  the  best  rooms 
that  has  ever  been  allotted  to  this  final 
festive  part  of  the  Convention  program. 
There  was  ample  room  for  the  five  hundred 
who  sat  down,  and  an  easy  opportunity 
to  hear  and 
to  see  the  photo-  ' 
graphs  which  Dr. 
Walter  Traprock 
displayed  on  the 
screen.  A  lively 
orchestra  supi- 
plied  music  for 
the  banquet,  and 
George  H.  O'Con- 
nor led  the  sing- 
ing. Few  ban- 
quet programs  of 
the  Booksellers' 
Conventions  have 
equalled  this  in 
its  fine  balance  of 
wit  and  wisdom. 
Frederick  Wil- 
liam Wile,  author 
and  newspaper 
man,  made  the 
ideal  toastmas- 
ter,  brilliant  and 
to  the  point  in 
his  introductions 
and  quick  and 
pertinent  at  the 
close  of  the 
speeches.  Wen- 
dell Phillips 
Stafford,  Justice 
of  the  Supreme 
Court  of  the 
District  of  Co- 
lumbia, gave  a 
brilliantly  deliv- 
ered, witty  and 
scholarly  address 
on  "Books  and 
Men."  George  S.  Chappell,  who,  as  Dr. 
Traprock,  has  ridden  to  fame  as  the  author  oF 
"The  Cruise  of  the  Kawa,"  gave  one  of  his 
inimitably  droll  talks  on  exploration,  illustrated 
by  screen  pictures  taken  from  a  humorous  med- 
ley of  travel  views.  Senator  Borah  followed 
with  a  notable  political  address,  giving  the  au- 
dience who  had  not  had  previous  opportunity 
to  hear  him,  ample  opportunity  to  judge  of  his 
power.  During  the  evening  the  new  President, 
Simon  L.  Nye,  was  introduced  to  make  his 
first  bow  to  the  Association,  and  an  inscribed 
watch    was    presented    to    Engene    L.    Herr. 


MRS.    ALICE   STEINLEIN  OF  THE     GREENWOOD     BOOKSHOP. 
WILMINGTON,    W.a.S    ONE    OF   THE   MANY    WOMEN    BOOK- 
SELLERS  WHO  TOOK   ALERT  fNTEREST    IN    ALL    THE    SES- 
SIONS, 


Mr.  Melcher,  presenting  the  watch  to  Mr. 
Herr,  said:  "Because  of  a  rugged  tough- 
ness in  my  physique,  which  comes  from 
New  England,  and  because  of  a  cer- 
tain lack  of  modesty,  which  I  gained 
while  a  resident  in  Indiana,  I  am  fre- 
quently called  upon,  as  you  know,  to 
act    as    announcer    in    our    conventions. 

At  this  time, 
iiowever,  I  am 
asked  to  act  for 
the  five  hundred 
here,  as  ampli- 
fier,  of  the 
thing's  that  you 
ieel  like  broad- 
casting.  For 
several  years  as 
T  reasurer  and 
for  twt)  as 
President,  w  e 
have  put  heavy 
tasks  upon  the 
President  who 
!i<m'  retires.  In 
order  that  he 
may  have  some 
sense  of  the  fact 
that  we  appreci- 
ate the  work 
done,  the  vision 
upheld  and  the 
progress  made  in 
the  two  years,  I, 
representing  you, 
the  five  hundred, 
present  at  this 
time,  an  en- 
graved watch  to 
Eugene  L.  Herr, 
o  f  Lancaster, 
Pennsylvania." 
(Applause.) 

Mr.  Herr 
said,  in  reply, 
''My  dear  friends 
and  fellow  book- 
sellers :  This  is 
an  occasion  when  the  heart  is  too  full  for 
words.  It  has  been  a  source  of  deep  gratitude 
to  me  that  you  have  seen  fit  to  honor  me  and 
to  give  me  the  opportunity  to  serve  you  and 
the  trade  in  general,  as  your  President  for  the 
past  two  years,  and  in  thus  heaping  an  over- 
flowing measure  of  your  gratitude  with 
this  'beautiful  gift,  which  I  shall  cherish 
as  long  as  I  live  as  a  marie  of  your 
appreciation  and  friendship,  all  that  I 
can  say  is  that  I  thank  you  deeply 
from  the  bottom  of  my  heart."

The  Bookdealers'  Advertising 

By  Frederick  D.  Hartman 


THE  q-uestion  of  advertising  for  the  book- 
seller is  certainly  debatable.  Many  a  dealer 
has  learned  the  lesson  which  has  often 
cost  publishers  dearly — that  the  amount  of 
advertising  space  necessary  to  sell  an  appre- 
ciable number  of  any  one  title  may  cost  so 
much  that  to  continue  would  inevitably  mean 
disaster.  It  is  not  unusual  for  the  advertis- 
ing cost  on  a  single  tiitle  to  approach  fifteen 
to  twenty  per  cent  of  the  cost  of  manufacture 
of   the   entire   edition. 

To  make  the  matter  of  retail  advertising 
clearer,  a  short  discussion  of  the  basic  prin- 
ciples underlying  advertising  is  in  order  and 
a  definition  of  the  terms  is  convenient.  We 
see  no  justification  for  the  arbitrary  divisions 
so  frequently  differentiating  advertising  and 
publicity.  One  well-known  psychologist  in 
writing  on  the  subject  refers  to  advertising 
as  that  type  of  publicity  which  is  paid  for. 
In  the  last  analysis,  so  far  as  regards  the 
distribution  of  any  type  of  merchandise,  there 
is  very  little  publicity  that  cannot  be  traced 
directly  to  some  form  of  paid  advertising. 
One  of  the  most  profitable  types  of  publicity 
a  book  may  receive  is  a  criticism  appearing 
in  the  literary  columns  of  some  periodical — yet 
totalling  the  cost  of  review  copies  given 
annually  by  publishers  this  cost  is  by  no  means 
inconsiderable. 

Wadsworth  defines  advertising  as  "consist- 
ing of  any  effort  which  has  for  its  purpose 
the  obtaining  of  distribution  or  demand  for 
a  commodity  without  personal  solicitation." 
Asain.  Richardson  in  "Power  of  Advertising" 
defines  it  as  (i)  "Publicity  work  conducted 
on  educational  lines,  aiming  to  make  the  name 
and  merit  of  a  commodity  familiar  to  buyers 
thruout  the  advertiser's  get-at-able  territory, 
having  made  the  selling  points  known,  seeking 
to  keep  them  fresh  in  the  buyer's  mind.  (2) 
Printed  salesmanship,  telling  the  story  of  the 
goods  in  a  dignified,  convincing,  yet  interesting 
manner,  in  words  easily  understood,  but  con- 
taining no  suspicion  of  exaggeration  or  in  pic- 
tures that  give  faithful  illustrations  of  the 
goods.  (3)  The  gradual  process  of  applying 
layer  after  layer  of  facts  relative  to  quality  and 
value  to  the  public  mind,  so  that,  step  by  step, 
the  impressiions  of  goodness  are  strengthened 
and  a  confidence  wall  built  round  the  product 
to  the  exclusion  of  competing  brands." 

The  test  to  which  all  advertising  copy  is 
subjected  is  whether  it  has  secured  the  ajtten- 
tion — retained  the  memory  and  induced  fav- 
orable action  in  enough  persons  to  produce  a 
large  enough  sale  to  pay  for  the  cost  of  the 


advertisement.  It  is  needless  to  point  out  the 
reasons  why  it  is  impossible  to  estimate  the 
actual  results  of  advertising  copy  completely. 
One  fact  which  apparently  is  generally  over- 
looked is  the  entire  lack  of  uniformity  of 
opinion  among  people  regarding  any  one  book. 
The  success  of  any  advertising  depends  ulti- 
mately upon  the  satisfaction  expressed  and  felt 
by  those  individuals  induced  to  buy  a  book 
after  reading  the  advertisement.  Let  one  pres- 
ent a  given  book  to  twenty  different  people, 
stating  at  the  time  that  the  book  is  a  sound 
treatise  on  the  Women  of  America,  the 
chances  are  that  after  having  read  this  book 
at  least  nineteen  of  the  twenty  will  disagree 
with  the  description — and  no  two  of  these  will 
estimate  the  book  similarly.  True,  a  majority 
of  the  twenty  may  have  enjoyed  the  book  and 
i)e  glad  to  possess  it,  yet  they  will  have  no 
confidence  in  the  estimate  of  the  next  book 
the  recommender  wishes  to  present 

There  will  be  no  exact  uniformity  of  indi- 
vidual opinions  if  expressed  on  an  article  of 
merchandise — but  a  far  greater  number  of 
people,  after  tr>'ing  a  cake  of  soap,  will  agree 
with  the  statement  of  the  advertiser  that  "it's 
pleasing  to  the  hands"  than  the  number  who 
agree  that  the  above  mentioned  book  is  a 
"sound  study  of  American  women."  This 
lack  of  uniformity  in  individual  opinion  is 
the  one  reason  making  it  difficult  to  incor- 
porate in  advertising  copy  dealing  with  books 
that  type  of  statement  which  will  induce  in 
the  reader  a  decision  leading  to  action.  Lack- 
ing this  characteristic,  paid  advertising  space 
becomes  expensive  for  book-dealers.  Also, 
because  of  the  very  nature  of  books,  the 
amount  of  space  required  to  command  the  at- 
tention and  interest  of  the  reader  adequately 
is  very  great.  For  example,  a  dealer  might 
have  a  stock  of  even  five  hundred  copies  of 
a  piece  of  first-class  fiction,  a  book  that  derives 
no  inconsiderable  benefit  from  the  publicity 
promulgated  by  the  publisher.  The  margin 
on  the  lot  would  be  not  over  four  hundred  dol- 
lars at  the  highest  estimate  and  to  move  these 
in  proper  time  might  easily  require  two  hun- 
dred dollars'  worth  of  advertising  which,  when 
added  to  the  dealer's  overhead,  would  leave  a 
net  loss.  It  would  be  better  for  the  dealer  not 
to  buy  this  advcrtifsing  and  sell  only  fiity 
copies   of   the   book   showing  an   actual   profit. 

One  great  handicap  for  the  book-dealer  is 
the  difficulty  in  obtaining  satisfactory  clerks. 
A  book  clerk  should  be  a  Ph.D.  and  also  have 
at  least  ten  years'  lifhrary  experience  and 
five  years'  business  training,  in  addition  to  all 


1476 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


the  qualifications  of  a  diplomat.  In  analyzing 
the  success  and  cause  for  the  enormous  clien- 
tele of  the  famous  old  French  and  English 
book-shops  I  can  find  no  single  factor  con- 
tributing more  than  the  high  calibre  of  clerks 
available.  This  was  largely  due,  at  least  in 
England,  to  the  practice  of  requiring  many 
years  apprenticeship  in  the  learning  of  a  trade. 
There  was  apparently  a  great  earnestness 
exhibited  by  the  young  men  in  their  occupa- 
tion. The  natural  consequence  then  was  that 
the  clerks  were  all  well-informed  concerning 
the  stocks  in  which  they  dealt  and  while,  of 
course,  there  were  not  so  many  books  at  that 
time  on  which  to  be  informed,  yet  the  systems 
of  cataloging  and  classification  were  much 
more  tedious.  In  view  of  the  clerks  being 
so  well-informed,  their  relations  with  the 
patrons  were  greatly  strengthened,  and  the 
regular  practice  was  for  a  book  buyer  to 
depend  on  his  favorite  clerk  to  inform  him  on 
all  publications  and  more  or  less  direct  his 
purchases.  In  other  words,  the  book  clerk 
was  the  dealer's  advertising  medium.  The 
most  hopeful  signs  of  the  present  for  the 
book-dealer  are  the  activities  for  the  develop- 
ment of  training  courses  for  book  clerks. 
I  shall  not  discuss  in  detail  here  the  develop- 
ment of  personal  advertisement  for  bookshops 
thru  properly  trained  clerks  but  pass  on  to 
the   impersonal    type. 

If  the  advertising  space  in  stereotyped  me- 
diums is  often  too  expensive  to  be  of  large 
practical  uise  for  book-dealers,  then  the  next 
best  thing  lis  to  develop  a  type  of  advertis- 
ing that  is  less  expensive.  If  it  is  too  ex- 
pensive to  take  one's  advertising  before  the 
eyes  of  the  public,  does  that  necessarily  mean 
that  the  public  cannot  be  brought  to  read  the 
advertising  where  it  costs  nothiing  to  place  it? 
This  seems  a  somewhat  absurd  supposition 
and  yet  it  has  a  practical  foundation. 
Ten  thousand  people  might  pass  their  eyes 
over  your  advertisement  in  a  pax>er  and  yet, 
considering  the  rush  (in  which  most  newspa- 
pers are  read,  a  very  small  per  cent  be  moved 
to  action — for  it  is  practically  impossible  to 
show  real  urgency  for  immediate  action  re- 
garding the  purchase  of  the  average  book. 
However,  lif  one  hundred  people  can  be 
brought  into  a  favorable  place  to  read  an 
advertisement  in  which  there  is  ample  space 
to  commend  the  attention  and  arouse  the  inter- 
est— desire — confidence  of  the  reader,  the  per 
cent  induced  to  action  will  certainly  be  larger 
—particularly  since  this  experince  is  to  occur 
in  the  advertiser's  own  shop.  In  short  the 
hope  of  many  book-dealers  rests  on  the  pos- 
sibility of  getting  more  people  into  their 
shops.  There  are  various  ways  in  which  to 
do  this.  Herewith  are  listed  a  number  of 
them.     By  having  in  the  store — 


(i)     Stamp  and  parcel  post  station. 

(2)  Agency   for   theater   tickets,   etc. 

(3)  Church   notices   and    bulletin    board. 

(4)  Agency  for  advertisements  in  local 
papers. 

(5)  Rest   room. 

(6)  Circulating   library. 

There  are  many  other  means  to  be  sure 
of  attracting  people  into  a  store,  but  these  will 
serve  as  suitable  illustrations.  Such  depart- 
ments as  these,  if  installed,  should  be  operated 
efficiently  if  they  are  to  be  effective,  other- 
wise their  entire  usefulness  is  destroyed. 
There  are  various  little  devices  which  can 
be  adopted  to  lower  the  operating  cost  of 
these  departments — such  as  having  the  stamp 
clerk  sell  picture  post  cards  and  other  novel- 
ties. It  ought  to  be  borne  in  mind,  however, 
that  these  departments  are  solely  for  adver- 
tising—or rather  for  procuring  the  public  to 
canvass  with  publicity  and  the  pleasant  satis- 
faction which  the  public  experience  by  the  use 
of  such  departments  should  not  be  marred  thru 
too  apparent  an  effort  to  make  them  carry 
their  own  operating  expense.  The  number  of 
people  who  may  be  induced  to  enter  a  book 
store  thru  such  means  as  described  above, 
varies,  of  course,  with  the  locality  of  the  book 
shop,  size  of  the  city,  number  of  other  stores, 
etc  I  have  records  supplied  from  twelve  dif- 
ferent shops  w^here  the  number  of  people  en- 
tering the  store  per  day  was  increased  from 
one  to  five  hundred  per  cent  by  just  such 
means  as  above  descnibed. 

After  getting  the  public  into  the  book  shop, 
the  next  step  is  to  have  the  advertising  copy 
properly  written  and  distributed.  The  extent 
to  which  a  book  shop  may  be  advantageously 
plastered  with  advertising  notices  is  a  debat- 
able one.  The  same  prinoiples  of  aesthetics, 
however,  do  not  apply  to  the  advertising  of 
books  as  to  other  types  of  merchandise.  A 
certain  amount  of  "literary  informality"  rather 
enhances  the  value  of  advertising  copy  of 
books.  The  advertising  copy  may  display  as 
many  individual  characteristics  as  the  books 
themselves — and  as  this  property  of  books 
forms  the  basis  of  one  of  their  greatest 
attractions  it  is  well  to  reflect  it  in  the  adver- 
tising copy.  This  is  a  most  fortunate  circum- 
stance, for  it  enables  the  book-dealer  to  avail 
himself  of  hand  printed  advertising  cards.  By 
judicious  and  persistent  use  of  this  type  of 
advertising,  the  dealer  may  supplement  his 
clerical    staff  to  good   advantage. 

The  average  individual  is  much  more  sus- 
ceptible to  a  suggestion  received  in  an  imper- 
sonal way  than  otherwise.  A  man  may  come 
into  a  book  shop  to  buy  a  stamp  and  read 
a  sign  announcing  some  new  publications  on 
gardening  and  indicating  a  shelf  where  these 
books  may  be  examined  without  any  obliga-

tion  to  purchase.  If  at  all  interested  in  the 
subject  it  is  quite  likely  he  will  stop  to  exam- 
ine the  books  and  if  he  is  not  stimulated  to 
purchase  it  is  probable  that  the  "missionary" 
groundwork  will  be  laid  in  his  subconscious- 
ness, so  as  to  render  the  next  attack  of  adver- 
tising copy  on  his  attention  more  effective. 
Now  this  same  man  could  enter  the  store  bear- 
ing the  same  latent  potentiality  for  suscepti- 
bility to  a  purchase,  and  yet  if  approached  by 
a  salesman  with  an  inquiry  regarding  his  inter- 
est in  gardening  books,  he  would  refuse  to 
stop — and  if  the  salesman  persisted  in  this  pol- 
icy every  time  the  man  came  to  buy  a  stamp, 
he  would  soon  stop  coming  in. 

The  potency  of  color,  repetition,  movement, 
etc.,  in  winning  the  attention  of  the  passers-by 
may  he  effectively  used.  The  prolific  use  of 
clippings  from  reviews,  personal  notes  about 
authors,  informational  sketches  dealing  with 
various  details  of  printing  and  publishing,  etc., 
may  be  most  profitably  displayed  on  bulletin 
boards  and  in  show  windows.  The  prepara- 
tion and  placing  of  such  advertising  material 
ought  to  be  in  the  hands  of  one  competent 
clerk  who  carefully  watches  the  results  of 
the   different    signs   and   records  his   copy. 

One  might  continue  at  length  describing  the 
actual  procedure  of  profitable  "extension" 
work  for  the  book-dealer,  but  this  technique 
can  best  be  perfected  by  each  book-dealer  for 
himself.  The  point  the  writer  hopes  to  em- 
phasize is  that  if  display  advertising  of  the 
standard  type  is  too  expensive  to  be  practic- 
able for  a  book-dealer  to  use,  this  does  not 
alter  the  fact  that  advertising  will  increase  his 
business  and  it  is  up  to  the  dealer  to  supple- 
ment with  some  such  type  of  advertising 
that  will  be  economical  and  profitable.

for  manuscript  copyists  and  other  clerks  01 
the  second  century. 

George  Bernard  Shaw  is  always  lecturing, 
preaching  or  scolding.  But  give  him  credit- 
he  stays  in  England  to  do  his  lecturing.  -Ufe. 


University  Presses 

Growth  in  Numbers  and  Importance 

uT  J  NIVERSITY  Presses  are  comparatively 

^  new  in  this  country,"  writes  Paul  G. 
Tomlinson  of  the  Princeton  University  Press. 
"The  oldest  and  also  the  largest  is  the  Uni- 
versity of  Chicago  Press,  founded  in  1892. 
In  that  year  it  issued  two  books  and  a  few 
pamphlets.  Its  volume  of  business  now 
amounts  to  three-quarters  of  a  million  dollars 
a  year  and  its  list  of  titles  totals  over  nine  hun- 
dred. This  press,  with  the  Princeton,  Harvard, 
Johns  Hopkins,  and  Yale  Presses,  is  probably 
the  most  important  of  these  enterprises  in  the 
United  States.  Many  other  Universities  and 
Colleges  are  eager  to  be  represented  by  Presses, 
however,  and  every  little  while  institutions 
write  for  information  about  our  organization 
and  plant  to  guide  them  in  their  plans  for  a 
Press  of  their  own. 

"Sometimes  the  University  Press  is  an  in- 
tegral part  of  the  University;  sometimes  it  is 
a  separate  and  distinct  organiization.  The  Uni- 
versity of  California  Press  is  an  administrative 
department  oE  the  University.  The  Harvard 
University  Press  is  a  department  of  Harvard 
University ;  so  it  is  at  Johns  Hopkins.  At 
Yale,  the  University  Press  is  an  independent 
corporation,  with  stock  control  in  the  hands  of 
Yale  University.  The  Princeton  University 
Press  was  founded  in  the  interests  of  Prince- 
ton University  and  of  scholarship,  but  has  no 
corporate  connection  with  the  University. 

"The  importance  of  the  work  which  a  Uni- 
versity Press  can  do  is  becoming"  better  recog- 
nized in  this  country  as  time  goes  on.  Rome 
was  not  built  in  a  day,  nor  can  any  sound  busi- 
ness enterprise  hope  to  start  full  grown.  Here 
at  Princeton  we  are  building  for  the  future. 
We  have  definite  plans  asT  to  what  that  future 
is  to  be,  and  after  seventeen  years  of  expe- 
rience feel  that  wei  are  now  in  a  position  to 
put  isome  of   these   plans   into   execution. 

"Tihe  Cambridge  University  Press  in  England 
is  401  years  old.  The  Oxford  University 
Press  is  celebrating  its  468th  Ixirthday  this  year. 
Recently  we  had  the  pleasure  of  a  visit  from 
Mr.  Humphrey  Mil  ford.  President  of  the  Ox- 
ford Press,  and  in  the  course  of  a  conversation 
someone  remai-kcd  that  the  Oxford  University 
Press  is  certainly  an  important  part  of  Oxford 
University.  'My  dear  man,'  said  Mr.  Milford, 
'it  is  Oxford  University.' 

"We  neither  hope  nor  plan  to  l)e  Princeton 
University.  But  we  do  plan,  and  confidently 
expect,  to  lay  the  solid  foundation  of  an  enter- 
prise which  ill  time  will  l>c  second  in  import- 
ance to  nothing  in  any  way  connected  with  the 
name  of  Princeton.

The  Publishers'   IVeeklv 


Reminiscences  of  a  Book  Scout 

By  Joseph  Jewett  Barton 

X.    He  Sat  Beside  the  Embers 


1HAVE  a  canny  old  Scotch  friend  who  lives 
out  in  West  Jersey.  He  is  connected  with  a 
large  library,  and  can  get  away  only  on  Satur- 
days to  prowl  around  the  country  picking  up 
book  Ijargains. 

So.  once  in  awhile  I  get  a  letter  from  him, 
as  I  did  last  winter.  It  ran  to  the  effect  that 
he  had  received  several  notes  from  a  lady, 
widow  of  a  half-haked  poet  who  was  the 
brother  of  a  well-known  author,  tho,  hardly  of 
the  first  rank.  She  had  books  to  dispose  of  ;  A.— 
said  he  couldn't  possibly  get  away  to  see 
them,  but  if  I  would  go  see  her,  and  got  any- 
thing in  which  he  was  interested,  and  sell  it  to 
him  at  a  fair  price,  he  would  be  satisfied. 

Sounds  reasonable,  doesn't  it;  just  as  tho 
he  was  doing  me  a  favor?  Well,  the  truth  of  it 
it  that  A.  is  about  fiifteen  or  more  years  older 
than  I  am,  and  he  doesn't  like  cold  weather 
nor  the  disagreeable  job  of  digging  books  out 
of  the  dust  and  the  cobwebs.  He  likes  in  cold 
weather,  to  go  into  a  nicely  lighted,  well-heated, 
orderly  bocxkshop,  and  right  on  a  shelf  on  a 
level  with  the  eyes,  no  stooping  nor  straining, 
pick  up  a  ten  or  twenty  dollar  item  for  fifty 
or  seventy-ftve  cents;  who  doesn't?  But  how 
often  does  this  happen  nowadays?  Less  tlian  ten 
years  ago  it  could  be  done  around  here,  but 
not  now. 

Some  alluring  prospect — ^^widow  lady,  old. 
of  a  literary  family,  must  dispose  of  her  books ; 
there  ought  to  be  presentation  copies,  manu- 
scripts  and  friendly  notes  from  contemporary 
authors,  and  everything. 

She  lived  about  a  mile  from  the  car  line, 
right  up  a  long  hill  in  the  face  of  a  northwest 
wind,  and  it  was  awfully  cold.  Big  white 
house,  green  blinds  and  a  lot  of  open  country, 
and  nobody  was  at  home. 

I  tried  it  again  in  a  couple  of  days,  and  found 
the  widow  lady,  also  her  genial  sister;  they 
assured  me  they  hadn't  been  out  of  the  house 
in  several  weeks,  but  probably  were  in  the 
kitchen  when  I  had  called  before,  and  had  not 
heard  me  ring.  Yes,  Mr.  A.  had  written  her 
I  would  call,  and  the  books  were  in  the  attic, 
thousands  of  them.  I  had  been  cold,  but  that 
little  speech  of  hers,  "Thousands  of  books  in 
the  attic"  caused  such  a  glow,  that  I  took  off 
my  overcoat  and  announced  I  was  ready  to  lotok 
at  them. 

Up  a  long,  narrow  stair  I  got  to  the  attic; 
after  a  cursory  inspection  my  temperature 
went    down    so    fast    that    T    got    back    to   the 


kitchen,  put  on  my  overcoat,  my  overshoes,  and 
wished  for  thicker  gloves  and  a  mufHer.  The 
late  deceased  was  no  Ballinger  with  a  discrim- 
inating eye  for  worthy  literature.  He  had 
evidently  bought  mainly  from  ten-cent  stands, 
and  naturally  he  had  ten -cent  books  or  worse. 
Yes,  there  were  thousands,  and  I  felt  that  I 
must  look  at  them  all,  as  he  might  have  bought 
a  good  one  by  accident.  I  found  a  soap  box 
for  a  seat,  pulled  it  over  near  a  window,  grabbed 
an  armful  of  books  and  went  at  it.  There  was 
a  big,  wooden  water  tank  in  the  attic  and  the 
flying  blades  of  a  windmill  in  a  northerly 
breeze  tridkled  a  stream,  monotonous  and  lull- 
ing. One  might  have  slept  nicely  under  its 
influence,  if  it  hadn't  been  so  darn  cold. 

The  inclination  for  poesy  permeated  the  whole 
collection.  Poems  and  near-poems  of  early  and 
late  vintages,  but  none  that  anybody  wanted.  I 
ran  across  an  effusion  by  the  late  owner  which 
commenced, 

"By  glowing  embers  in  the  lone  December, 
I  sit  me  dreaming  of  the  dreamy  past" 

and  me  sitting  on  a  soap  box,  in  December,  in 
his  old  cold  attic,  working. 

At  noon  Mrs.  C  came  up  and  said  "Won't 
you  have  some  lunch  with  us"  and  the  soup 
was  hot  and  the  goulash  was  tasty,  and  I  was 
hungry  and  I  ate  and  ate ;  and  I  smoked  in  the 
attic. 

All  afternoon  I  toiled  until  I  could  see  no 
longer,  then  gathering  up  the  few  selected,  I 
went  below  and  announced  that  I  would  finish 
tomorrow 

When  I  reached  home  I  sat  down  and  wrote 
a  few  lines  to  my  friend  A.  and  said  that  I 
duly  appreciated  his  efforts  in  my  behalf,  but 
he  had  a  poor  lot  of  friends,  and  he  wasn't 
going  to  get  anything  out  of  this  lot,  A.  wrote 
me  eventually  in  answer  to  this,  that  he  could 
imagine  what  it  was  like,  because  he  had  been 
thru  another  hoard  of  C.'s  which  he  had 
left  in  Trenton  or  Camden  or  some  place  down 
there.     (The  foxy  old  bushwhacker.) 

I  didn't  want  to  go  back  on  the  following 
day,  it  looked  so  hopeless,  such  a  waste  of  good 
time,  but  I  had  promised  to  come  and  I  went. 
Before  noontime  I  had  finished,  except  a  lot 
of  pQiper-back  novels  behind  the  chimney.  I 
stood  looking  at  them  in  disgust  and  then  said 
to  myself,  well,  while  you  are  at  it,  do  the  job 
thoroly ;  and  in  the  last  stack,  the  third  volume 
from  the  bottom,  was  "The  Raven  and  other 
Poems,  by  Edgar  s\  Poe,  New  York  and  Lon-

don.  Wiley  and  Putnam,  161  Broadway;  6 
Waterloo  Place.  Price  thirty-one  cents,"  the 
first  edition  in  the  original  printed  wraps,  un- 
cut, and  unopened.  Did  I  immediately  sit  down 
when  I  got  home  and  write  A.  about  the  Poe, 
or  did  I  not? 

Mrs.  C.  told  me  it  had  been  her  husband's 
habit  for  many  years  to  spend  all  his  spare 
time  and  money  in  second-hand  book  shops. 
He  had  told  her  that  if  he  did  not  go  into  the 
business  himself,  at  any  rate  what  he  had 
bought,  in  years  to  come  would  be  of  great 
value,  far  exceeding  isuch  life  insurance  as  he 
could  procure  for  the  same  amount  of  money. 
Why  did  it  fall  to  my  lot  to  tell  the  poor  old 
lady  the  truth?  As  for  C,  either  thru  per- 
versity or  ignorance,  he  had  kept  all  that  junk 
for  many  years  (the  Poe  was  a  mistake)  de- 
priving some  reputable  paper  mill  of  its  na- 
tural toll. 

He  sits  beside  the  emibers. 

College  Graduates  as  Booksellers 

TP/ZE  Book  Scorpion,^  "a  galley  proof  pub- 
"*"  lished  moet  irregularly  by  the  Hampshire 
Bootkshop,"  has,  in  the  issue  dated  March,  an 
editorial  on  the  necessity  of  the  college  graduate 
in  bookselling  which  is  very  interesting.  It 
says  in  part : 

"The  most  interesting  proposition  at  present 
is  to  start  your  own  booksihop  after  you  have 
had  rigid  training  in  business  affairs  (including 
accounting)  and  some  library  training,  if  pos- 
sible. Practical  experience  in  selling  is  essential 
to  success,  for  you  may  love  books  and  may 
know  all  the  other  things  in  connection  with 
the  book  business,  but  if  you  cannot  sell  your 
favorite  authors  to  suspecting  and  unsuspectins> 
persons,  you  are  not  going  to  have  anythins> 
more  than  a  browsing  room !  Book  ownership 
is  the  essential  thing  in  every  bookseller's  life. 
They  believe  whole-heartedly  that  it  is  neces- 
sary to  existence  as  a  rock  to  a  barnac'';. 

"The  book  business  is  crying  aloud  for  men 
and  women  with  a  background  of  college  train- 
ing and  a  life  behind  them  which  has  been  spent 
in  dense  contact  with  books  of  all  descriptions ; 
in  brief,  it  wants  the  habitual  reader  from  the 
age  of  6,  not  the  people  who  only  read  when 
they  are  sick !  It  wants  young  people  of  broad 
interests  who  can  get  as  excited  about  Mur- 
ray's 'Rise  of  the  Greek  Epic'  as  BcUoc's  'Cau- 
tionary Tales  for  Children'  or  Brett  Young's 
t 'Marching  on  Tanga'  or  Thomson's  'The  Biol- 
ogy of  the  Seasons.'  The  book  business  de- 
mands a  knowledge  of  all  languages  and  all 
arts,  for  the  more  critical  nbility  you  have,  the 
better  you  will  be  able  to  choose  your  stock  and 
sell  it,  as  on  the  whole,  there  are  few  good 
books  that  sell  themselves.  Resourcefulness 
and  ingenuity  are  found  in  all  successful  book- 
sellers, nothing  you  have  ever  done  will  come 


amiss!  There  is  no  business  that  has  ^ore  vi- 
tal interest  or  variety  than  selling  books,  for  by 
it  you  are  influencing  one  way  or  another  all 
persons  with  whom  your  shop  comes  in  contact. 
It  should  be  an  educational  institution,  the  book- 
shop, to  even  a  greater  degree  than  a  library 
and  has  become  so  in  certain  instances. 

"The  Book  Scorpion  has  observed  that  in  the 
larger  stores  the  salary  standard  is  low  and 
does  not  offer  sufficient  opportunity  at  the  pres- 
ent moment  for  college  trained  men  or  women, 
but  this  must  change  and  one  way  to  make  it 
change  is  to  demonstrate  in  small  shops  what 
\n  increase  of  business  is  awaiting  the  large 
Iwokshops  with  a  change  in  policy.  Cheap  help 
is  not  helping  the  book  business  but  retarding 
its  development.  Here  lies  the  chance  for  one 
of  the  most  interesting  and  pleasant  jobs  in  the 
WK)rld,  for  there  is  no  talent  that  cannot  find 
an  outlet  for  expression.  The  methods  of  book 
distribution  run  so  far  short  of  modern  business 
efficiency  that  here  again  is  a  fascinating  prob- 
lem to  solve  in  your  own  ingenious  way. 

"No  person  who  has  not  been  a  habitual 
reader,  who  lacks  a  head  for  business,  who  has 
not  had  a  college  education  or  its  equivalent, 
who  is  not  resourceful,  ingenious  and  of  an  in- 
ventive turn  of  mind,  or  who  lacks  a  sense  of 
humor  should  go  into  the  profession  of  book- 
selling, even  if  he  loveth  a  book  to  the  binder's 
board!" 


Collected  Works  of  Ambrose 
Bierce 

The  life  of  Ambrose  Bierce  as  an  author 
was  not  a  pleasant  one.  Altho  there  was  a 
small  circle  that  was  warmly  appreciative  oP 
his  work  the  great  public  and  publishers  passed 
him  by.  In  1909  the  Xeale  Publishing  Com- 
pany of  New  York  and  Washington  printed 
the  first  volume  of  his  "Collected  Works"  in 
a  handsome  subscription  edition  and  three  years 
later  brought  the  enterprise  to  completion.  The 
set  now  contains  twelve  volumes,  and  one  who 
cares  for  Bierce's  writings  is  limited  to  thi!\ 
edition  because  many  of  his  books  are  out  of 
print  and  these  volumes  contain  much  that  was 
never  printed  in  book  form  before.  The  mys- 
terious disappearance  of  Bierce  several  years 
ago  left  his  affairs  without  direction  and  this 
edition  of  his  works  sold  slowly.  Thomas  & 
Kron,  34  Barclay  Street,  have  purchased  the 
few  remaining  sets,  hound  them  attractively, 
and  are  selling  them  to  the  trade  and  private 
customers  at  a  moderate  price.  One  of  these 
days  wc  shall  have  a  biography  of  Bierce  and 
then  there  will  be  new  interest  in  his  personal- 
ity and  writings.  When  that  time  comes  the 
chances  arc  that  his  l>ooks  will  be  very  much 
in  demand  and  very  hard  to  procure.

Communications 

AMY  LOWELL  PROMOTED 

4  Park  Street, 
Boston,  Mass. 

April  21,  1922. 

Editor,  Publishers'  Weekly: 

In  reprinting  the  Vanity  Fair  table  of  critical 
values,  you  have  done  an  injustice  to  Miss 
Amy  Lowell  by  incorrectly  giving  her  a  mark 
of  — 16. 1  instead  of  .7. 

Won't  you  correct  this  in  your  next  issue, 
as  it  would  be  too  sharp  a  touch  of  irony — 
even  in  this  outburst  of  critical  confusion — to 
have  at  the  end  of  the  line  a  name  so  synony- 
mous with  the  best  in  contemporary  poetry? 
Very  truly  yours, 
Houghton  Mifflin  Company. 

Editorial  Note — The  table  of  critical  values  as  it 
appeared  in  Vanity  Fair  was  alphabetical.  The  tabic 
as  it  appeared  in  the  Publishers'  Weekly  was  ar- 
ranged numerically,  i.  e.,  the  person  receiving  the 
highest  vote  appeared  at  the  top  of  the  list.  Unfor- 
tunately the  black  mark  which  belonged  to  Henry 
Cabot  Lodge  was  given  to  Amy  Lowell.  Amy  Low- 
ell's mark  should  have  been,  as  the  above  letter  points 
out  .7  and  Henry  Cabot  Lodge  should  have  been 
—  16.1  instead  of  —  9.3. 

THE   BINDING  SITUATION 

Editor,  Publishers'  Weekly: 

Some  weeks  ago  we  noticed  an  article  in  the 
Weekly  regarding  the  necessity  for  better  bind- 
ing of  books.  Just  in  this  line  we  should  like 
to  speak  of  an  incident  in  our  business.  Not 
having  had  repeat  orders  for  one  of  our  text 
books  used  in  a  high  school,  we  investigated 
to  see  if  it  was  still  being  used.  The  binding 
of  the  book  was  so  strong,  the  teacher  said, 
that  altho  the  books  had  been  in  use  for  eight 
years  no  replacement  had  been  necessary. 

This  is  undoubtedly  a  fine  recommendation 
for  our  books,  but  it  does  not  create  a  rapid 
turnover. 

Yours  very  truly, 
Whitcomb  &  Barrows. 
Mary   Barrows. 

Unexpected  Co-operation 

OF  the  many  signs  of  earnest  co-operative 
help  that  came  to  hand  during  Religious 
Book  Week,  one  of  the  most  unusual  is  a 
clipping  from  the  Utica  Observer,  a  2-column 
advertisement  of  Alfio  S.  Troga,  tmdertaker. 
The  text  of  this  advertisement  reads: 

"The  inexhaustible  resources  of  knowledge 
and  power  to  be  found  in  books  cannot  be 
estimated.  Too  few  persons  realize  the  stim- 
ulation and  power  of  intelligence  to  be  gained 
by  reading  good  books.  To  promote  the  read- 
ing of  religious  books  and  to  guide  the  serious 
booklover  in  selection,  this  week,   April  2nd- 


8th,  has  been  designated  as  Religious  Book 
Week.  The  National  Association  of  Book 
Publishers  and  the  public  libraries  are  co- 
operating in  this  movement.  The  Troga 
Funeral  Service,  non-sectarian,  desires  to  play 
its  part  in  a  campaign  of  such  wide  helpful- 
ness."

lish authors,  Cruikshankiana,  a  few  items  of 
rare  Americana,  and  desirable  miscellaneous 
books  with  some  additions,  and,  also,  engrav- 
ings and  framed  prints  and  genealogical  books 
in  a  separate  alphabet,  will  be  sold  at  the  An- 
derson  Galleries   May  22  and  23. 

Plans  are  already  under  way  to  celebrate  the 
one-hundredth  anniversary  of  the  death  of 
Goethe  with  appropriate  dignity.  The  most 
important  work  to  be  undertaken  in  this  coun- 
try will  be  a  series  of  studies  published  under 
the  direction  of  the  Modern  Language  Asso- 
ciation with  Professor  Carl  L.  Schrieber  of 
Yale  as  editor.  He  will  have  at  his  disposal 
the  William  A.  Speck  collection  of  Goetheana 
housed  in  the  Yale  Library,  the  official  support 
of  the  Modern  Language  Association  and  the 
cooperation  of  many  interested  in  the  proper 
recognition  of  the  anniversary. 


Dr.  George  Watson  Cole,  librarian  of  the 
Henry  E.  Huntington  library,  has  issued  "Bib- 
liograpliy — A  Forecast,"  contributed  to  the  Pa- 
pers of  the  Bibliographical  Society  of  America, 
in  separate  form.  The  conclusion  reached  by 
Dr.  Cole  is  that  special  attention  in  the  future 
must  be  given  to  comparative  bibliography  in 
which  every  edition  of  a  work,  so  far  as  pos- 
sible, will  be  located  and  exact  description  of 
each  copy  given.  The  initial  step  is  the  pre- 
paration of  check  lists  and  the  second  is  to 
secure  the  cooperation  of  every  library  owner 
so  listed. 

Stevenson  first  editions,  from  the  rarest  to 
the  most  common  are  still  advancing  in  price 
in  England.  Three  recent  London  booksellers 
catalogs  listed  the  first  edition  of  "New  Ara- 
bian Nights" — one,  an  ex-library  copy,  at  £75 ; 
a  "clean  copy"  at  £85 ;  and  "a  remarkably  fine 
copy"  at  £95.  Evidently  the  £100  mark  will  be 
reached  shortly.  Many  of  the  shaken  and  soiled 
copies  are  going  thru  the  binderies  and  coming 
out  gorgeously  dressed  in  fine  leather  and  rich 
with  elaborate  gold  tooling  for  which  a  fancy 
price  is  asked.  Discriminating  collectors  are 
still  insisting  on  "original  cloth"  in  "pristine 
condition"  for  which  they  are  not  over  parti- 
cular as  to  price. 

Dayton  C.  Miller,  of  the  Case  School  of 
Applied  Science,  Cleveland,  Ohio  has  just  pri- 
vately printed  a  "List  of  Works  Relating  to 
the  Flute,  with  annotations"  in  his  collection. 
In  addition  to  the  items  in  this  list  his  library 
contains  several  hundred  works  on  music  and 
accoustics  in  general  and  about  2,500  titles  of 
musical  compositions  for  the  flute  and  the  flute 
in  combination  with  other  instruments.  He  has 
also  added  portraits  and  autographs  of  flutists, 
flute  makers'  catalogs  and  miscellaneous  news- 
paper clippings.  He  says  "I  hope  one  result 
of  the  issuance  of  this  list  will  he  to  bring 
information  which  will  ena!)lc  me  to  .secure 
other  works  on  this  subject  which  are  now 
missing.  When  the  list  is  more  complete,  if 
it  proves  of  sufficient  interest,  it  may  be  made 
more  generally  available." 

Thomas  F.  Madigan  in  a  foreword  to  one 
of  his  catalogs  has  this  to  say  for  the  collect- 
ing of  autographs  of  famous  men  and  women : 
"Between  the  present  and  the  past  there  exists 
no  more  intimate  personal  connection  than  an 
autograph.  The  hat  that  Napoleon  wore  de- 
i^nds  upon  documentary  proof  for  the  accept- 
ance of  its  geniuineness.     No  man  now  living 


1482

saw  him  wear  it.  But  an  autograph  is  self 
proving.  An  autograph  letter  is  the  vital  prod- 
uct of  the  hand,  always  of  the  mind  of  the 
writer.  Men  of  fearless  hearts,  of  splendid 
talents,  of  devoted  action  and  incorruptable  in- 
tegrity, in  days  remote  and  long  past,  live  and 
breathe  again  in  the  time  stained  sheets  they 
handled  and  on  which  they  inscribed  their 
thoughts." 

Among  the  framed  autograph  letters  on  ex- 
hibition recently  in  the  attractive  window  of 
the  Autograph  Shop  of  Thomas  F.  Madigan 
was  a  war  letter  written  by  Washington  at  a 
very  crucial  moment.  It  was  dated  January 
26,  1778,  two  days  before  the  Battle  of  Mon- 
mouth. He  was  at  that  time  manouvering  for 
advantageous  position  in  which  to  attack  Gen. 
Clinton  who  was  fleeing  from  Philadelphia 
heavily  encumbered  with  baggage.  The  letter 
was  written  to  Col.  John  Neilson  whom  he  in- 
forms that  he  shall  rely  upon  "to  advise  me 
constantly  of  the  enemy's  situation.  It  is  es- 
sential for  me  to  know  where  they  encamp 
each  night  and  the  extent  of  their  encampment, 
at  what  hour  they  march,  the  length  of  their 
line,  their  halting  places,  in  fine  every  parti- 
cular that  may  assist  me  in  forming  my  plans. 
And  he  also  instructs  Col.  Neilson  that  "if  you 
find  it  impracticable  to  gain  the  enemy's  front, 
as  was  intended,  the  next  best  thing  is  to  fall 
on  one  of  their  flanks  or  rear  as  opportunity 
may  offer  and  give  all  the  annoyance  in  your 
power."  Four  scarce  and  unusual  portraits  of 
Washington  are  framed  with  this  letter  mak- 
ing an  item  for  the  library  that  any  booklover 
might  be  proud  to  own.  F.  M.  H.

segregation,  i.  e.,  recognition  on  both  sides  of  a  sepa- 
rate  Jewish   nationality.

Authors  take  months  and  occasionally 
years  in  writing  their  books. 

Printers  require  weeks  to  typeset, 
proofread,  and  print  these  books. 

The  binder  is  frequently  called  upon  to 
bind  the  book  in  three  or  four  days. 

Thus  the  binding,  which  is  to  preserve 
and  protect  the  result  of  all  this  effort 
and  expense,  is  sacrificed  for  the  sake 
of  a  few  days. 

In  edition  binding  a  number  of  oper- 
ations require  time  to  properly  dry 
and  season. 

Allow  the  necessary  time  to  make  the 
book  right  and  the  publishers  will  re-

ALCHEMIC  GOLD 

Why  Do  Publishers  Specify  Alchemic 
Gold  On  Their  Binding  Orders? 


Because 

ALCHEMIC  GOLD  is  a  practical  liquid  substitute  for  genuine  gold  or  imitation 
gold  leaf  THAT  WILL  NOT  TARNISH,  RUB  NOR  LOSE  ITS  LUSTRE. 

ALCHEMIC  GOLD  gives  wonderful  results  at  a  fractional  cost  of  gold  stamp- 
ing and  at  a  much  lower  cost  than  any  imitation  gold  leaf. 

It  can  be  used  to  advantage  instead  of  ordinary  ink  at  a  very  little  additional 
cost. 

Waste   in   production  is   eliminated,   as   sizing,   laying-on  and  cleaning-off  are 
not  necessary. 

Covers  are  dry  and  ready  to  case-in  immediately  after  being  stamped. 

Patterned  cloth  covers  need  not  be  blanked  out  when  stamped  with  Alchemic 
Gold. 

Economies  are  effected  at  no  sacrifice  of  quality. 

Ask  your  binder  to  show  you  sample  covers

PUBLICITY:  It  will  be  widely  advertised — the  author's  name 
is  known  wherever  books  are  read, — it  will  be  commented  upon 
because  of  Mrs  Glyn's  new  handling  of  her  subject.  *'The  War 
of  the  Sexes' '  always  of  the  greatest  interest  to  most  people,  has 
not  been  better  portrayed  than  in  this  able  romance — it  is  her 
most  satisfying  work,  rich  in  wit  and  human  wisdom.  Collateral 
publicity  will  be  given  by  two  new  GLYN  photo  plays  that 
will  shortly  be  produced.

THE  CITY  OF  FIRE 

A  man's  heart  is  THE  CITY  OF  FIRE  which  flames 
with  love,  hope,  passion,  heroism.  Mrs.  Hill  has  woven 
her  tale  with  great  skill.  The  characters  are  intensely 
human, — a  beautiful  girl,  a  minister  who  is  a  man,  a 
millionaire  who  is  not,  until  he  emerges  from  his  city  of 
fire.  Ever>^  page  thrills  with  action.  Mrs.  Hill's  stories 
please  every  member  of  the  family.  They  pass  from 
hand  to  hand  and  are  recommended.  Since  she  wrote 
"Marcia  Schuyler,"  her  first  success,  she  has  never  failed 
to  give  her  readers  just  .what  they  want.  THE  CITY 
OF  FIRE  is  her  finest  effort  and  we  believe  will  be

THE  BRACEGIRDLE 

By  BURRIS  JENKINS 

Anne  Bracegirdle,  called  "The  Darling  of  the  London 
Stage,"  was  a  famous  actress  of  the  seventeenth  cen- 
tury. Her  brilliant  wit  and  radiant  beauty  brought  her 
wild  adventures,  subtle  intrigue,  burning  passion  and  one 
Irian's  undying  devotion.  Interwoven  with  action  that 
stirs  the  blood  is  the  heart  appealing  tendereness  of  a 
great  love. 
THEY  SAY— 

"A  Stirring-  Love  Story," — St.  Louis  Times. 
"Dr.   Jenkins  has  done    a   fine  thing  in   recreating   the 
fascinating  Anne  Bracegirdle.     His  story  will  doubtless 
prove  to  be  one    of  the  most  important  of  the  year." — 
Record,  Philadelphia.

A  LITTLE  LEAVEN

Ailsie  Stoward,  the  moonshiner's  daughter,  had  beauty,

are  passages  in  'Brass'  which  hold  the  lyric  beauty  of  a  nightingale's  song  at  midnight;  others 
again  which  in  their  stark  realism  leave  nothing  to  the  imagination,  though  they  never  impress  one

such  a  man  as  Peter  Graham  and  carried  him  through  the  fierce  crisis  of  this  story,  fearlessly  and 
unfalteringly.  Then  Julie— how  few  authors  could  have  seen  or  depicted  Julie!  She  is  wayward  and 
intoxicating  and  tender.  She  is  gay  and  observing,  friendly  and  loyal,  and  in  the  end  she  is 
strong,  strong  beyond  most.     Most  of  all,  she  is  lovable."     21st  edition.  $2.00 

One  Man's  View  By  Leonard  merrick 

A  novel  by  Merrick,  even  if  he  chose  the  most  hackneyed  plot  in  print,  would  impress  you  as  something 
entirely  novel  and  wholly  delightful.  In  this  one,  instead  of  showing  you  again  an  unsatisfied  wife 
yielding  to  the  dangled  bait  of  an  "ideal  companionship"  with  another  man  than  her  husband,  he 
tells  the  story  of  the  man  left  behind  as  only  Merrick  could  tell  it.

The  Black  Diamond 


By  FRANCIS  BRETT  YOUNG 

A  story  which  well  exhibits  that  characteristic  union  of  idealism  and  realism  which,  in  Hugh 
Walpole's  opinion,  accounts  for  his  high  rank  among  modern  writers  of  fiction.  As  the  San  Francisco 
Journal  puts  it,  "Here  is  an  author  who  has  realism  by  the  forelock,  and,  instead  of  making  it  crawl 
through  the  mud,  he  exalts  it  into  the  realm  of  higher  drama,  where  it  belongs."  $2  00

WILD  FOLK  By  SAMUEL  SCOVILLE,  jr. 

Do  you  know  who  the  Seven  Sleepers  are?  Have  you 
ever  known  the  sheer  pleasure  of  seeing  little  racoons  com- 
ing head-first  down  the  trunk  of  a  tree,  the  white  otter  div- 
ing noiselessly  under  the  kelp,  and  the  "pincushion  of  the 
woods"  rustling  his  fretful  way  through  the  underbrush? 
The  most  seasoned  nature  lover,  as  well  as  the  amateur 
in  wood  lore,  will  find  a  wealth  of  unusual  adventures  in 
this  new  book.  The  Concord,  N.  H.,  Monitor  says:  "There

maintains  the  standard  that  is  here  established.  WILD 
FOLK  is  one  of  those  books  that  you  like  to  read  and  that 
you  feel  you  want  to  own."

By  WILLIAM  LYMAN  UNDERWOOD 

"The  book  is  a  revelation.  It  is  the  life  history  of  a 
black  bear  from  the  Maine  woods,  and  what  a  history!  It  is 
a  strange  tale  and  a  true  one,  and  one  feels  from  the  reading 
of  it  that  the  author  must  have  loved  this  stranger  from  the 
North  and  the  reader  will  come  to  share  in  part,  at  least, 
this  love.  It  is  a  book  which  even  in  the  prevailing  search 
for  sensations  will  find  its  place  as  one  of  the  best  and 
most  delightful  of  the  year."

"TAKE  ALONG  A  BOOK" 


By 
Marguerite   Wilkinson 

Author  of 

"New  Voices,"  "The  Dingbat 
of  Arcady,"  etc. 


WHEN   we  go   to   the  country  this   sum- 
mer for  our  vacations,  we  should  take 
three   things   with    us.     They   are    soH- 
ude,    imagination,    and    books.      Even    if    we 
nust   leave   trunks    at   home    and   carry    only 
napsacks,  even  if  we  must  walk  because  we 
re  too  poor  to  pay  railroads,  we  should  take 
hese  things.     They  are  not  merely  useful  to 
he  person  who  would  get  the  most  out  of  a 
acation;  they  are  necessary. 
We  ought  to  take  solitude  with  us  because, 
f  we  do  not,  we  shall  be  unable  to  find  it  on 
op  of  the  tallest  mountain  or  by  the  shores 
f  the  loneliest  lake.     Solitude  is  not  simply 
physical    condition    due   to  the    absence   of 
ther  people.     It  is  also  a  state  of  mind,  an 
pportunity  for  retirement  into  ourselves  and 
he  will  to  take  advantage  of  the  opportunity, 
t  is  the  chance  to  get  on  pleasant  terms  with 
urselves,  to   find  out  what  enjoyable  people 
vt  are,  or,  failing  that,  what  enjoyable  peo- 
le    we    may    become.      When     solitude     has 
nade  us   great  companions  for   ourselves  we 
re  likely  to  be  better  company  for  the  other 
eople    present    near    our    solitude.      Nothing 
an  make  a  person  more  popular  than  a  right 
adulgence   in   solitude. 
We  ought  to  take  our  imaginations  with  us 
ecause    they    are   probably    in    dire    need   of 
resh  air.     No  wonder,  if  we  keep  them  be- 
ween  the  pages  of  a  ledger  all  winter,  or  in 
,  brief-case,   or   in   a  vanity-bag!     It   is   not 
urprising  that  they  become  weary  and  jaded 
nd    anaemic    and    refuse    to    do    their    own 
iroper  work  for   us.     If   we   will    only    give 
hem   an   airing  under   right   conditions,  they 
vill   become   strong  and  energetic  makers  of 
nagic.    They  will  tell  us  some  of  the  secrets 


we  have  always  wanted  to  learn — what  it  is 
that  shines  more  brightly  than  any  splendid 
star  that  we  have  ever  seen  what  it  is  that 
blows  thru  all  the  universe  farther  than  any 
wind  that  we  hear,  what  it  is  that  beats  a 
solemn  music  nearer  and  dearer  to  us  than 
the  falling  of  rain.  They  may  teach  us 
simpler  mysteries,  also — the  wonderful  events 
that  take  place  in  the  hearts  and  minds  of 
our  friends  and  neighbors.  If  we  will  only 
take  our  imaginations  to  the  country  with  us, 
they  may  begin  to  work  wonders  for  us  again 
as  they  did  when  we  were  children,  bringing 
us  new  insight  into  literature,  art,  friends,  re- 
ligion, and  life  itself. 

We    ought   to   take   books    with    us   on    our 
vacations      because      they      are      such      good 
friends   of  solitude   and   the    imagination.     If 
we   fail   to  take  the  other  two,   then,  I   sup- 
pose, we  may  as  well  leave  lx)oks  at  home ; 
but  how  dull   it  will  be  without  them  all!  if 
we  do  take  the  other  two,  however,  we  shall 
be    able   to   get    a   greater   joy    out    of   books 
than    we    have    ever    found    in    them    before. 
For    altho    the    person    who    can    create    t^-^v 
minutes  of  solitude  in  his  ov  xjovc,'an<i  grad- 
busy   Broadway  can   tako  ais  whole  life.  Thru 
of  vacation  on  the  f«-;.idon,   Mr.   Hergesheimer 
best  of  book"-    iestless  age,  or  rather,  a  very 
people  to  hnasculine  part  of  it.     Lee  Randon,

life  in  books  in  the  stifling  room  of  a 
tenement,  and  altho  some  books  are  sure  to 
snuh  -people  who  have  lost  or  misused  the  r 
imaginations,  even  if  these  People  have  al 
day  to  spend  in  reading  and  beautiful  coo 
libraries  to  read  in,  still  books  at  their  best 
do  like  to  be  met  by  the  imagination  at  its 
best,  and  when  this  happens  they  can  walk 
right  into  our  hearts  and  minds,  there  to 
remain  forever.  A  vacation,  then,  is  a  fine 
opportunity  to  cultivate  the  interplay  of 
books  and  the  imagination  in  order  that  we 
may   increase   the   sum   of   human   happiness. 

Another  good  reason  for  taking  books  with 
us  on  our  vacations  is  that  reading  out  of 
doors  is  both  comfortable  and  convenient. 
The  robins  will  not  interrupt  us  with  a  stern 
call  to  duty  when  we  have  just  reached  the 
-middle  of  an  exciting  chapter.  The  sun 
is  the  best  of  all  reading  lamps  and  the 
least  expensive.  If  its  light  is  too  bright, 
the  leaves  of  elms  and  maples  will  be  good 
lampshades.  If  we  are  lazy  the  breeze  will 
turn  pages  for  us.  A  grass  blade  is  an  ex- 
excellent  bookmark.  And  when  a  book  has 
been  read  thru  to  the  very  end  it  can  be 
tucked  under  the  head  for  a  sensible  pillow 
while  one  rests  and  meditates  upon  it.  And 
all  the  time  the  reader  can  be  eating  sour- 
grass,  if  he  likes,  or  sucking  honey  out  of 
clovers ! 

In  my  opinion,  the  right  sort  of  book  to 
take  on  a  vacation  is  the  sort  of  book  that 
we  seldom  or  never  read  at  home,  or  the  sort 
of  book  that  tells  of  a  life  remote  from  the 
moods  and  thoughts  of  our  own  workaday 
existence.  Teachers  should  find  books  of 
the  most  devastating  humor,  or  the  wildest 
detective  stories.  Clerks,  stenographers, 
salesmen,  and  others  who  work  in  figures, 
should  read  the  world's  dearest  old  romances 
and  much  poetry.  Tired  ministers  should  get 
hold  of  tales  of  adventure  in .  the  open  air 
and  books  of  exploration  into  far  countries. 
Perhaps  Shackleton's  "South"  would  be  a 
good  beginning.  Poets  should  have  sedative 
literature  in  the  summer  time — preferably  gar- 
den manuals  and  cook-^books,  say  "Things 
Mother  Used  to  Make."  Honest  lawyers  should 
read  fairy  tales,  perhaps  "Irish  Fairy  Tales" 
by  James  Stephens.  The  nervous  stock- 
broker should  fill  his  pockets  full  to  bulging 
with  the  poetry  of  Walter  de  la  Mare.  Society 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 

women  should  study  Plato,  Confucius,  th( 
Anti-Nicene  Fathers,  the  approved  devotiona 
manuals  of  the  churches  to  which  they  be- 
long, and  "The  World  To-Morrow."  Willian: 
Jennings  Bryan  should  buy  a  whole  library 
of  modern  books  on  biology.  (A  few  would 
not  be  enough  !)  After  reading  them  thorol> 
he  should  study  Dean  Hodges'  "How  to  Know 
the  Bible"  and  the  religious  writings  oi 
Dean  Inge  to  get  modern  point  of  view  on 
religion,  to  learn  that  Christianity  persists 
in  and  thru  evolution  and  the  God  of  the 
Christians  does  not  have  to  be  afraid  of  any 
truth  that  men  are  able  to  demonstrate. 
When  he  has  read  such  books  himself,  1 
suggest  that  he  pass  them  all  on  to  the  Ken- 
tucky  State   Legislature! 

The  books  we  should  take  with  us  to  the 
country  are  the  l)Ooks  we  have  always  want- 
ed to  read,  but  never  yet  have  read.  Let  us 
be  kind  to  ourselves  in  the  matter  of  choos- 
ing our  vacation  reading  and  make  our 
dreams  of  good  reading  come  true.  We  must 
not  wait  until  we  have  chosen  our  new  socks 
and  shirts  or  our  new  gowns  and  hats,  until 
there  is  no  money  left  for  anything  but  the 
ticket  and  the  board,  to  choose  the  books 
that  will  become  our  closest  friends  in  the 
days  out  of  doors.  Let  us  choose  our  books 
first  and  carefully  and  then,  if  there  is  enough 
money  left  over,  buy  the  agreeable  luxuries 
for  the  adornment  of  the  external  man,  or 
woman  !  But  once  in  the  year,  in  the  blessed 
vacation-time,  let  us  learn  to  know  ourselves 
and  be  ourselves,  let  us  travel  in  our  imag- 
inations even  if  we  can  not  own  motor-boats 
and  aeroplanes,  let  us  have  the  truest  friends 
in  the  world,  the  friends  of  all  time  and  of 
all  the  world,  the  great  companions  that  most 
of  us  can  find  onlv  in  books.  Let  us  take 
books  with  us ! 

Then  the  days  spent  with  sun  and  wind 
and  rain  will  be  spent  joyfully.  Then  we 
shall  be  recreated  thru  and  thru  from  soul 
to  skin.  Then  we  shall  return  to  work  richer 
in  personality,  no  matter  what  may  be  left 
in  our  purses.  For  the  person  who  has  taken 
solitude,  an  imagination,  and  books  on  a 
vacation,  will  return  afterwards  to  find  a  new 
light  shining  on  the  day's  work,  a  nev/  at- 
mosphere in  the  old  office,  and  a  new  music 
even  in  the  tick  of  the  time-clock  that  meas- 
ures the  march  of  man.

Realism — Atmosphere 


The  Secret  Places  of  the  Heart 

By  H.  G.  Wells 

Mr.  Wells'  latest  fiction  product  carries  the 
reader  deeply  into  the  researches  of  modern 
psychiatry.  Sir  Richmond  Hardy,  a  wealthy 
:oal  magnate,  goes  off  on  a  motor  jaunt  with 
a  nerve  specialist,  a  Dr.  Martineau,  leaving 
behind  him  a  cultured  wife  and  two  grown-up 
:hildren,  and  ailso  another  less  conventional 
stablishment  t'other  side  of  London  and  an- 
other child  there.  On  the  motor  trip  he 
>romptly  meets  and  falls  in  love  with  a  young 
A.merican  girl.  In  fact  it  is  clear,  from  his 
:onfession  of  the  "secret  places"  of  his  heart, 
-hat  he  simply  can't  make  that  organ  behave. 
\nd  this  young  woman  proves  to  be  morje 
:lever  at  diagnosing  Sir  Richmond's  mystify- 
ng  heart  ailment  than  the  specialist.  The  story 
s  told  with  characteristic  Wellsian  economic 
uid  emotional  dissertation.     (Macmillan.)  $2. 

Lost  Valley 

By  Kather'me  Fullerton  Gerould 
The  lost  valley  is  haunting  in  its  loveliness 
>f  woodland  and  hillside,  but  there  on  the 
vorked-out  soil,  the  wretched  remnants  of 
food  old  Puritan  stock  are  now  mostly  im- 
)ecile,  diseased  or  degenerate.  A'  young 
)ainter  comes  to  the  valley  and  stays  at  the 
»ld  Lockerby  farm,  and  thru  him,  Madge 
1/Ockerby    learns    to    see    the    beauty    of    her 


birthplace  and  the  difference  of  its  people  from 
the  world  outside.  Living  with  her  crabbed, 
crippled  uncle  and  senile  grandmother,  her 
emotional  nature  pours  itself  out  in  passionate 
care  of  her  young  half-sister,  Lola,  whose 
Botticelli  beauty  masks  a  mind  hopelessly 
clouded.  Lola  runs  away  from  home  and 
Madge  frantically  follows  her,  both  enduring 
many  bitter  hardships.  This  tragic,  futile 
pilgrimage  delivers  Madge  from  the  valley's 
dominance  of  deterioration.     (Harper.)  $2 


Gytherea 

By  Joseph  Hergesheimer 

Who  would  suppose  that  a  doll  bought  in 
a  Fifth  Avenue  confectioner's  shop  could 
make  so  much  trouble?  Lee  Randon  bought 
her  in  a  whimsical  moment  and  named  her 
Cytherea  for  the  Goddess  of  Love ;  'and  grad- 
ually her  power  disrupts  his  whole  life.  Thru 
the  story  of  Lee  Randon,  Mr.  Hergesheimer 
interprets  this  restless  age,  or  rather,  a  very 
small  and  masculine  part  of  it.  Lee  Randon, 
successful  ,in  business,  married  for  fifteen 
years  to  a  woman  who  is  devoted  to  him, 
father  of  two  delightful  children,  surrounded 
by  gay  and  amusing  friends,  is  restless  and 
unsatisfied.  Gradually  he  comes  to  identify 
with  Cytherea,  a  married  woman  of  his  ac- 
quaintance and  finds  in  her  the  baffling  with- 
held fascination  of  the  doll.     (Knopf.)      $2.50

Maria  Chapdelaine 

/>v   I.o'iJs  llnnon 

This  story  of  the  reactions  of  a  young 
French  Cana.dian  girl  to  the  hardships  of 
life  in  the  lake  country  of  Upper  Quebec  has 
been  hailed  as  a  prose  poem,  a  pastoral,  and 
idyl.  Maria's  lover,  a  young  trapper,  is  lost 
in  a  blizzard  and  the  dreariness  and  hope- 
lessness of  life  without  him  seem  more  than 
she  can  bear.  She  faces  the  temptation  to 
escape  from  the  rigors  of  her  country  thru 
marriage  with  an  outsider,  a  man  whom  she 
does  not  love,  when  family  events  complicate 
her  problem.  It  is  a  story  of  the  solil  told 
with -great  beauty  and  simplicity  and  with- 
out  sentimentality.      (Macmillan.)  $2. 


The  Forsyte  Saga 

By  John  Galsworthy 

This  volume,  composed  of  three  of  Mr.  Gals- 
worthy's most  powerful  novels — ^"The  Man 
of  Property,"  "In  Chancery,"  and  "To  Let" — ' 
and  two  stories — "The  Indian  Summer  of  a 
Forsyte"  and  "Awakening,"  which  are  in  fact 
the  component  parts  of  one  large  novel — 'is 
regarded  by  Mr.  Galsworthy  himself  as  his 
most  important  performafice.  It  presents  the 
life  of  a  representative  English  family  thru 
three  generations.  Aside  altogether  from  the 
interest  of  its  story,  the  book  is  significant  as 
a  singularly  vivid  commentary  upon  an  im- 
portant phase  in  English  social  history.

The  Vehement  Flame 

By  Margaret  Deland 

Jealousy  is  th'e  dominating  passion  of  tiw 
heroine  'of  thirty-nine  who  marries  the  here 
of  nineteen— jealousy  of  all  that  she  cannot 
give  her  husband  of  youthful  companionship 
Maurice's  devotion  is  enough  to  satisfy  the 
wife,  Eleanor,  but  the  young  husband  craves 
friends  and  outside  diversions.  Maurice  ai 
length  becomes  interested  in  Lily,  a  young 
and  rather  pathetic  woman  of  the  streets,  and 
tries  to  help  her.  Finally  he  drifts  so  far 
from  Eleanor  as  to  be  untrue  to  her.  Then 
comes  the  problem  of  Lily's  child  and 
Maurice's  duty  toward  him.  A  yoimg  girl, 
whom  Maurice  has  known  from  childhood 
plays  a  prominent  part  in  the  denouement  of 
this  emotional  and  dramatic  novel.  (Har-

Aaron's  Rod 

By  D.  H.  Lawrence 

The  rod  is  but  a  flute  and  Aaron  Sisson,  its 
wielder,  an  English  collier.  Wife  palls  and 
home  and  children,  so  Aaron  goes  adventuring. 
He  is  in  London,  playing  in  an  orchestra  and 
falling  in  with  an  artistic  group ;  later  in  Italy, 
he  hopes  by  the^magic  of  his  rod  to  coax  the 
crumbs  from  rich  men's  tables.  He  has 
moments  of  homesickness,  spells  of  regret  for 
having  left  his  wife.  But  chiefly  he  is  content 
to  drift.  Aaron  is  an  odd  bird  but  loveable. 
There  are  also  interesting  types  among  the 
people  he  meets.  The  descriptions  of  persons 
and  places  are  among  the  most  delightful 
features  of  the  story.     (Seltzer.)  $2 

Sleeping  Fires 

By  Gertrude  Atherton 
The  action  takes  place  in  San  Francisco 
and  New  York  about  1870,  but  the  passions, 
the  motives,  the  struggles  that  go  to  make  up 
the  plot  are  part  of  that  eternal  conflict  that 
knows  no  definite  period.  The  heroine,  a 
beautiful  New  England  girl  married  to  San 
Francisco's  most  successful  physician^  the 
reigning  toast  of  the  town,  after  a  period 
of  social  triumph,  falls  in  love  with  a  bril-

One  Man's  View 

By  Leonard  Merrick 
Leonard  Merrick  is  always  the  expert  stylist, 
and  his  characters  are  often  literary  men  or 
actors,  who  discuss  their  craft.  The  artist 
in  his  new  novel  is  the  heroine  who  wishes 
to  be  an  actress.  An  English  girl  brought  up 
in  Duluth,  she  is  starved  for  a  chance  to  be- 
come famous.  Failing  in  her  theatrical 
dreams,  she  makes  the  kind  of  marriage 
Merrick  loves  to  handle.     (Button.)  $1.90

Glimpses  of  the  Moon 

By  Edith  Wharton 
Edith  Wharton's  previous  novel,  "The  Age 
of  Innocence,"  was  awarded  the  Pulitzer 
Prize  by  Columbia  University  as  the  out- 
standing novel  of  1921.  The  present  one  is  a 
story  of  society,  of  the  fashionable  world  of 
N'ew  York,  of  Newport  and  of  Europe.  The 
central  figures  are 
Susy  Branch  and 
Nick  Lansing,  both 
secure  in  the  so- 
cial scale,  but  both 
financially  unable 
to  keep  up  with 
the  pace  of  their 
"set."  According 
to  all  social  rules 
they  should  marry 
the  wealth  their 
tastes  demand.  Yet 
what  do-  they  do! 
Delightfully,  ridic- 
ulously, they  fall 
in  love  with  each 
other  and,  defyinjj 
the  fates,  marry. 
In  the  events  that 
follow  Mrs.  Whar- 
■'  ton  has  shown  to 
perfection  the  lure 
of  their  extrava- 
gant environment, 
which  threatens  to 
mar  the  love  they 
have  found.  To 
Susy  temptation 
comes  in  great 
wealth  and  posi- 
tion offered  by  a 
titled  Englishman ; 
to  Nick  comes  the 
adoration  of  a  fab- 
ulously rich  girl. 
But  there  are 
"glimpses  of  the 
moon,"    the    s  u  - 

preme  moments  of  life,  when  the  early  love 
was  found  and  when  later  it  was  renewed.

A  Little  More 

Jh'  ly.  B.  Maxwell 
One  of  life's  grimmest  jests  is  to  give  people 
what  they  think  thev  want,  and  then  grin  at 
the  results.  This  happens  to  a  kindly,  com- 
monplace British  family  when  they  begin  to 
want  "a  little  more."  By  the  death  of  a  cynical 
k'nsman,  they  get  it,  and  are  quite  demoralized 
thereby.  Then  the  money  suddenly  vanishes 
as  the  war  comes  on,  and  ill  luck  works  over- 
time for  them  in  everv  way.  They  sink  to  the 
verv  gutter  but  climb  back,  gaspinn^.  to  the 
curbstone,  with  hard-won  character,  shaped  by 
fate's  poundings.  Their  struggles  m'lke  a 
capital  and  intriguing  talc  of  London  Ifc-  in 
the  hectic  times  just  before,  during  and  after

The  Veneerings 

By  Sir  Harry  Johnston 
Sir  Harry  Johnston  has  won  a  reputation 
as  a  sympathetic  stepfather  to  the  brain  chil- 
dren of  other  authors,  thru  his  "continuation" 
novels,  "Mrs.  Warren's  Daughter,"  carrying  on 
Shaw's  "Mrs.  Warren's  Profession"  and  "The 
Gay-Dombeys,"  descendants  of  the  Dombeys 
of  "Dombey  and 
Son."  Now  he 
turns  i  n  similar 
fashion  to  a  fur- 
ther revelation  of 
the  lives  of  Hamil- 
ton Veneering  and 
his  children,  who 
first  lived  in  the 
pages  of  Dickens' 
"Our  Mutual 
Friend."  He  pres- 
ents them  as  the 
chief  actors  in  "a 
story  of  shady  and 
legitimate  finance, 
and  of  the  politics 
of  the  Edwardian 
period  from  1901 
to  1910."  (Mac-

( Dizain  des  Fetes

tury scenes,  laid  in  part  in  George  the  Second's 
England,  and  in  part  in  the  France  of  Louis 
Quinze.  .Appropriately,  the  tone  of  the  stories 
is  artificial  and  superficially  trifling,  to  a  de-

Abbe  Pierre 

By  Jay  William  Hudson 
The  setting  is  quaint  old  Gascony.  To  his 
birthplace  here  comes  the  old  Abbe  Pierre,  on 
vacation  from  the  college  where  he  teaches, 
to  live  for  a  time  with  the  whimsical,  tender 
but  stalwart  folk  of  his  native  village.  In  this 
atmosphere,  representative  of  the  beauty  and 
strength  of  the  true  soul  of  France,  develops 
the  delicate  love  story  of  Germaine,  a  Gascon 
girl,  and  David  Ware,  a  young  American,  a 
writer  of  verse,  and  professor  of  English. 
Seemingly  insurmountable  differences  stand 
in  their  way,  but  the  Abbe  Pierre,  with  his 
winning  spirituality,  his  kindly  heart  and  his 
humor,  stands  their  friend,  and  their  romance 
ends  in  happiness.     (Applecon.)  $2 

The  Bells  of  the  Blue  Pagoda 

By  Jean  Carter  Cochran 
This  story  is  an  attempt  to  catch  the  atmos- 
phere and  some  of  the  poetry  of  China;  for 
that  reason  the  author  has  adhered  to  the 
Chinese  custom  of  calling  the  characters  and 
places  by  the  picturesque  names  given  as  a 
matter  of  course  in  that  country.  It  is  an 
interesting  and  exciting  story  giving  clear  pic- 
tures of  two  phases  of  Chinese  life  which  are 
not  often  depicted.  It  has  a  steadily  developed 
missionary  and  Christian  tone  and  it  shows 
what  power  an  educated  Chinese  has  in  her 
own  country.  The  story  has  an  appeal  for 
Ijoth  adults  and  young  people.

Birthright 

By  T.  S.  Stribling 
"Birthright"  takes  the  negro  seriously.  I' 
doesn't  deny  that  he  has  his  ridiculous  side 
indeed  that  is  the  essence  of  his  tragedy.  Nol| 
only  is  he  ridiculous,  but  he  knows  it  and  re- 
joices in  it.  For  the  main  trouble  with  the 
negro  is  that  he  has  so  long  seen  himsdlf  thru 
the  white  man's  eyes  that  he  despises  hiimseli 
and  pulls  himself  down  by  his  own  bootstrap,s. 
The  story  tells  of  a  negro  graduate  oi  Har- 
vard who  goes  back  to  his  southern  town  with 
new  standards.  The  "niggertown"  of  the  place 
is  hideously  unsanitary  and  morally  corrupt, 
yet  his  efforts  to  make  it  better  are  frustrated 
by  black  and  white  alike.  It  is  a  problem  story 
presented  with  impartiality  and  lack  of 
venom.     (Century.)  $1.90,

famous  process  of  being  crushed  between  the 
upper  and  nether  mill-stones."  Worse  yet,  sup- 
pose yourself  a  cogwheel  in  the  Treasury  De- 
partment with  the  firm  conviction  that  it  was 
vour  precision  and  fidelity  that  had  won  thfe

could  you  have  borne  up  against  the  demor- 
alizing temptations  of  a  vast  fortune  suddenly 
thrust  upon  you  by  a  notorious  slacker  and 
profiteer?  This  diverting  theme  has  given  Mr.

at  paradoxical  conditions  of  post-bellum  social

Pierre  et  Luce 

By  Romain  Rolland 
This  latest  of  Romain  Rolland's  novels  to

idyll  of  love  that  is  born  under  the  wing  of 
death."  It  offers  a  strong  contrast  to  his  war 
novel,  "Clerambault."  It  is  light  and  delicate, 
a  true  French  love  story.  The  war  is  used  only 
as  a  back-ground.  "What  I'd  like,"  says  Luce, 
PS  the  planes  sweep  over  Paris,  "is  a  bit  of 
happiness."      That    is    the    key-note.      (Holt.)

strikes,  race  riots,  smooth  reactionaries,  parlor 
Bolsheviks,  vivid  flashes  of  men's  heroism, 
dark  glimpses  of  human  greed.  And  thru  it 
all,  young  men  struggling  for  sanity  and  some

days  of  Henry  VII  is  set  in  an  English  market 


1545 

town  which  harbored  a  Friary  and  the  Abbey 
of  the  Silver  Cross.  Yet  its  knights,  monks,

The  Vanishing  Point 

By  Coningshy  Dawson 

This  kaleidoscope  of  jnystery  and  intrigue 
centers  around  an  able  American  business  man 
who  planned  to  save  starving  post-war  Europe 
by  selling  it  bread.  He  journeyed  over  to  sell ; 
he  remained  to  give.  His  provisions  avertel 
vast  panic  and  loss  of  life.  The  two  daring 
and  beautiful  women  who  work  with  him  are 
fascinating  types  and  the  fact  that  they  are 
both  in  love  with  him  does  not  simplify  mat- 
ters. The  author,  first  known  as  a  novelist  and 
later  for  his  books  giving  his  reactions  to  the 
war,  is  personally  familiar  with  the  area  ovci 
which  this  international  romance  sweeps.

The  Van  Roon 

By  J.   C.  Snaith 

From  the  author  of  "The  Sailor"  and  "Un- 
defeated" comes  this  novel  of  which  the  "Van 
Roon,"  a  paintinp-  by  an  old  master,  is  the 
center  of  interest.  The  story  is  the  struggle 
of  a  group  of  people  for  the  possession  of  this 
masterpiece.  Some  desire  it  for  its  money 
value;  others  for  its  intrinsic  beauty.  While 
money  versus  beauty  is  the  real  theme,  there 
is  also  the  story  of  one  girl's  devotion  to  an- 
other and  of  her  love  for  the  young  man  who 
finds  the  picture  first  in  an  out-of-the-way 
part  of  the  country  and  is  nearly  cheated  of 
his  treasure.     (Appleton.)  $2 


"Q" 

By   Katharine   Newlin   Burt 

The  sleepy  town  of  Slypenkill,  New  York, 
the  home  of  the  aristocratic  Grinscoombc 
family,  is  invaded  by  a  soft-spoken,  clcar- 
c-ed,  gently  humorous  stranger  from  the 
West.  Q.  T.  Kinwydden  has  come  to  the  East 
to  gain  an  education  and  beautiful  Heloise 
Grinscoombe,  whom  he  has  previously  guided 
on  a  hunting  trip.  His  gentleness  and  natural 
courtliness  win  him  the  heart  of  the  people. 
How  he  is  blocked  by  an  indolent,  rascally 
doctor ;  how  he  unites  two  loving  couples ; 
how  he  gains  victory  from  seeming  defeat, 
respect  from  contempt  and  distrust,  make  a 
fascinating  story  of  the  bringing  of  the  West 
to  the  East.     (Houghton.)  $1.75

While  this  novel  pro- 
vides all  the  thrills  which 
bloodthirsty  Indians  incited 
to  wreck  vengeance  upon 
whites  are  wont  to  inspire, 
the  thrills  are  perfecth^ 
legitimate  as  the  subject 
matter  is  all  a  matter  of 
history.  America  in  1724- 
25,  when  she  was  the  bone 
over  which  France  and 
England  were  growling, 
furnishes  the  setting  for 
a  tale  of  combat,  intrigue 
and  love.  The  heroic  element  is  led  by  a 
fine  young  soldier  oi  fortune,  the  villain 
is  a  gentlemanly  cut-throat  and  fur-trader. 
Good  Indians  support  the  upright  and  bad 
Indians  the  malicious  side  of  the  struggle, 
and    it    is    a    struggle    indeed.      (Brentano.)

Timber

In  the  white  pine  country  John  Taylor  met 
Helen  Foraker,  fighting  bravely  and  alone  to 
save  her  thousands  of  reforested  acres  from 
the  greedy  hands  of  men  who  saw  in  them, 
not  a  hope  for  the  future,  but  a  speedy  way 
to  put  wealth  in  their  own  pockets.  How 
John  Taylor  helped  the  woman  he  loved  to 
win  her  battle  against  the  chicanery  of  ene- 
mies who  stopped  at  nothing  in  their  attempt 
to  force  her  to  surrender  her  timber  land 
is  the  story.  And  from  its  pas-es  goes  forth 
a  plea  for  foresight  and  the  wisdom  to  save 
our  forests  before  they  have  been  wasted 
beyond    recovery.      (Small,    M.)  $1.75.

To  the  Last  Man

Back  in  Texas,  earlier,  a  triangular  love  af- 
fair had  established  a  lasting  enmity  between 
these  two  pioneer  cattlemen  in  the  Tonto  Basin ; 
and  now  their  rival  interests  deepen  and 
embitter  the  feud.  Entrapped  in  the  heart  of 
this  ominous  struggle  are  two  line,  inspiring 
youthful  figures,  Ellen  Jorth  and  Jean  Isbei. 
With  singular  power  the  writer  has  portrayed 
the  fierceness,  the  viciousness  of  the  cut  and 
thrust  of  men  venting  their  pfimal  passions  in 
a  war  of  extermination.  And  over  against  this 
action  of  lust  and  destruction  are  depicted  the 
varied  beauty  of  Nature's  great  stage,  while 
the  foreground  develops  an  enduring  love.

Kimono 

By  John  Paris 

The  marriage  of  an 
English  naval  officer 
and  a  little  Japanese 
heiress,  Asako,  takes 
them  from  London  to 
Tokyo  and  forces  the 
hero  into  disillusioned 
first-hand  contact  with 
his  bride's  country. 
The  story  is  far  from 
being  just  another 
pretty  picture  of  love 
among  the  chrysan- 
themums in  the 
Flowery  Kingdom ;  it 
is  an  earnest,  extreme- 
ly well-written  drama 
of  the  well-bred  Eng- 
lishman's reaction  to 
customs  that  have  lost 
their  horror  from  im- 
memorial usap-e  and 
changeless  routine. 
The  discovery  that 
Asako's  money  is  de- 
rived from  sources 
like  "Mrs.  Warren's 
Pirofession,"  and  the 
heartless  intrigues  of 
her  kinsmen  to  break 
uo  her  foreign  mar- 
riage, make  tense

and  says  Roberta's  virtue  is  coldness."  The 
ta  e  works  up  slowly  and  steadily  to  its  tragic 
solution,  which  is  the  onlv  real  way  out  of  an

The  Head  of  the  House  of 
Goombe 

/)  V  Frances  Hodgson  Burnett 
No  one  better  than  Mrs.  Burnett  can  inter- 
pret the  heart  and  mind  of  a  little  child, 
especially  of  a  lonely  and  unloved  child. 
Not  that  Robin  is  some  little  street  waif;  she 
is  brought  up  in  the  clothes  of  a  little  prin- 
cess, but  Robin  knows  nothing  of  mothers. 
She  knows  only— at  a  distance — the  gauzy 
Lady  Downstairs.  In  and  out  of  the  house 
passed  Lord  Cooml)e,  totally  unconcerned 
that  the  gay,  not  too  fastidious  circle  of 
Robin's  mother  find  humor  in  their  knowledge 
that  it  is  he  who  pays  the  bills  for  the  up- 
keep of  the  gaudy  little  house.  The  explana- 
tion of  his  interest  in  the  desclate  child  Robin. 
they  discuss  with  cynical  enjoyment.  Such  is 
the  beginning  of  the  story  of  Robin's  life 
brought  to  young  womanhood  in  this  volume 
and  to  Im^  continued  subsequently.  (Stokes.)  ^. 

Linda  Lee,  Inc. 

By  Louis  Joseph  J\vicr 
What  would  you  do  if  you  had  a  million 
dollars?  Many  authors  have  asked  and 
answered  this  question,  but  Mr.  Vance  pro- 
poses :  What  would  you  do  if  you  had  always 
had  a  million  dollars,  and  if  the  first  movie 
director  you  ever  met  told  you  you  would 
screen  wonderfully?  Lucinda  Druce,  the 
heroine,  is  this  creature  doubly  favored  by  all 
the  gods,  but  like  so  manv  people  thus 
favored,  she  is  not  happy.  En  route  for  Reno 
she  <lecides  to  go  to  Hollywood  and  experi- 
ment with    the   director's   proposition.     Then 


come    her    lively    adventures,    humorous    and 
otherwise,  in  Movie-Land.     (Dutton.)  $2. 

The  Island  Cure 

By  Grace  Blanchard 
Pretty  Jean  Beverley  needed  a  vacation  and 
was  advised  to  take  the  ''island  cure,"  not  in 
the  far  away  South  Seas,  but  off  the  New 
England  coast.  A  street  car  strike  prevents  the 
taking  of  a  train  to  Portsmouth,  and  as  many 
owners  of  automobiles  are  earning  money  by 
carrying  passengers,  it  is  only  natural  that  a 
prosperous  young  manufacturer  should  be  mis- 
taken for  an  impromptu  taxi  driver,  especially 
as  the  young  man.  after  a  glance  at  Jean's 
prettiness.  does  nothing  to  correct  the  mistake. 
Needless  to  say.  this  young  man  plays  a  prom- 
inent part  in  the  "cure"  and  Jean  is  almost 
another  person  even  in  name  before  the  sum- 
mer is  over.     (Lothrop.)  $1-50 

Adrienne  Toner 

By  Antu^  Douglas  Sedgzvick 
Adrienne  Toner,  a  wealthy  American  heir- 
ess, much  interested  in  New  Thought,  the 
most  deep-irooted  of  her  many  theories,  comes 
as  a  visitor  into  an  English  family.  We  are 
allowed  to  view  her  at  first  from  different 
angles,  from  the  points  of  view  of  the  young- 
er women,  of  Barney,  the  son,  whom  she  mar- 
ries, and  all  the  time  from  the  point  of  view 
of  his  friend.  Adrienne  comes  with  the  idea 
of  moulding  all  to  her  pattern,  but  gradually 
she  perceives  that  she  herself  is  not  regarded 
by  them  as  a  model.  This  new  study  in  char- 
acter development  by  the  author  of  "Tante" 
has  -proved  a  best -seller  in  England.  (Hough-

house  of  Thurold.  The  master  of  the  housj 
is  one  night  found  dead  in  his  study — mur-

'  The  girl  gasped!  A  clock?  The  chateau

He  drew  forth  a  telescope.  An  hour  later  he 
found  the  opening  in  the  parapet  into  which 
the  instrument  fitted.  They  looked  thru  in 
turn  and  recoiled.  Two  bodies  hung  suspended

of  writing  a  real  melodrama.  Peter,  big  in  ])oth 
frame  and  heart,  wondered  what  he  would  do 
when  he  made  his  lucky  gold  strike  in  Austra- 
lia. Curiously  enough  he  does  make  it  and 
on  the  very  same  day  that  he  learns  he  is  heir 
to  a  large  estate  in  England.  Then,  when  he 
goes  to  establish  his  claim,  gold  mines  and

When  the  butler  came  to  open  up  the  draw- 
ing-room in  a  Fifth  Avenue  mansion  one  morn- 
ing he  found  prostrate  on  the  tloor  or  sprawled 
over  the  tables  the  insensible  forms  of  thirteen 
young  men  in  evening  dress.  His  disgust  at 
what  he  first  considered  a  night's  debauch  of 
the  Ace  Club,  was  presently  changed  to  alarm 
at  the  discovery  that  his  employer.  Van  Cort- 
land, was  dead  and  that  something  more  than 
alcohol  was  apparently  responsible  for  the  con- 
dition of  the  others.  The  strange  reception  of 
the  news  of  Van  Cortland's  murder  by  his 
fiancee  and  her  concern  over  her  brother,  who 
was  of  the  party,  add  to  the  mystification, 
which  must  not  be  spoiled  for  the  reader. 
Suffice  to  say  that  Tracy,  past-master  of  the

sees  herself  as  the  reincarnation  of  an  an-

Plaster  Saints 

By  Frederic  Arnold  Ku miner 
There  was  a  great  gulf  between  the  beauty 
disinherited,  who  had  taken  to  the  stage  because 
it  offered  the  best  means  for  quick  success,  and 
her  associates,  but  Tony  Bernard  failed  to 
recognize  it.  To  him  she  was  just  a  woman 
and  he  had  told  her  he  was  "crazy"  about  her. 
She  was  no  plaster  saint,  she  told  herself,  and 
a  man  like  Bernard  could  help  her  stage  career. 
It  would  be  easy  to  capture  and  keep  him  at  a 
distance.  This  is  the  situation  in  a  novel  which 
scores  the  pharisees  who  try  to  regulate  the

Making  the  House  a  Home 

By   Edgar  A.    Guest 

The  poet  of  the  plain  people  writing  in  prose 
brings  to  every  father  and  mother  the  under- 
standing that  all  the  joys,  sorrows,  and  strug- 
gles of  life  are  but  character  builders,  and 
that  it  is  only  "a  heap  o'  livin'  in  a  house  that 
makes  it  home."     (Reilly  &  Lee).  75c. 


Finding  Youth 

By  Nelson  Andrews 

i'       Sixty   years    is   the   age    for   finding    youth, 

j  according  to  Nelson  Andrews  and  his  remark- 

I  able  story   is   one  of  actual   experience.     It  is 

(  an   interesting   account    of    the   way   in   which 

I  this  man  took  fate  by  storm,  found  work,  and 

)  founded  a  community  made  up  of  other  young 

p  men  and  women  of  his  own  age.

Fundamental  Conceptions  of 
Psychoanalysis 

By  A.  A.  Brill 

Dr.  Brill,  Freud's  chief  disciple  and  trans- 
lator in  America,  is  lecturer  in  psychoanalysis 
and  abnormal  psychology  at  New  York  Uni- 
versity. His  book,  subtitled  "An  Elementary 
Survey,"  is  a  new  statement  of  the  Freudian 
doctrine  of  psychoanalysis  made  in  non-tech- 
nical language.  Many  who  are  unable  to  read 
Freud's  own  books  will  welome  this  popular 
exposition  of  his  theories  by  a  scientist  of  dis- 
tinction.    (Harcourt.)  $2.50 

Round  Pegs  in  Square  Holes 

By  Orison  Szvett  Harden 

This  is  a  practical  series  of  talks  on  finding 
the  right  niche  in  life  by  an  author  well-known 
for  his  inspirational  works.  The  book  is  the 
product  of  thousands  of  letters  from  men  and 
women  seeking  the  right  job.  In  many  in- 
stances the  writers  were  middle-aged  persons 
who  had  found  out  too  late  that  they  were 
"round  pegs."  In  anecdotal  style  Dr.  Marden 
gives  sound  advice  on  such  subjects  as:  The 
Tragedy  of  the  Misfit,  Looking  for  Something 
Easy,  Following  in  Father's  Footsteps,  In 
Harmony  with  Your  Job,  Success  after 
Failure,  The  Curse  of  Indecision,  etc.

Building  A  Career 

By  E.  W.  Weaver 

Most  people  are  interested  in  the  character- 
formation  and  industrial  status  of  boys  and 
girls  as  a  whole,  whether  they  be  parents, 
teachers,  employers,  welfare  workers  or  Y.  M. 
C.  A.  Secretaries.  For  them  this  book  was 
primarily  planned,  so  that  they  will  be  pre- 
pared to  give  constructive  assistance  at  a  time 
when  it  is  most  needed.  It  is  not  written  as 
an  experiment ;  it  is  the  crystallization  of  e3<;pe- 
riences  extending  thru  a  quarter  of  a  century  in 
the  life  of  its  author,  who  is  Lecturer  on  Voca- 
tional Guidance,  Columbia  University.  In  addi- 
tion to  assisting  young  workers  to  find  their 
own  aptitudes,  it  discusses  the  demands  for 
labor  and  the  opportunities  for  service  in  an 
average  community;  the  requirements'  for  suc- 
cess and  the  prospects  in  certain  professions ; 
and  the  relative  advantages  and.  disadvantages 
of  several  occupations.

The  Find  Yourself  Idea 

By  C.   C.   Robinson 

The  quiet  hand-to-hand  efforts  and  the 
Larger  Find  Yourself  Campaigns  have  been 
based  on  the  concept  that  there  lies  buried  in 
society  much  high-grade  talent  that  is  never 
discovered,  that  much  of  the  drifting  in  busi- 
ness and  industry  is  caused  by  unwise  selec- 
tion, and  that  given  a  certain  amount  of  in- 
formation and  courage  from  skilled  men  in 
the  community,  a  boy  can  make,  if  \ie  will,  a 
reasonably  scientific  selection  of  his  life  work. 
Mr.  Robinson,  secretary  for  employed  boys, 
International  Committee  of  Young  Men's 
Christian  Associations,  gives  a  brief  statement 
of  the  purposes  and  practicability  of  vocational 
guidance,  with  many  suggestions  for  making 
such  work  effective  among  older  boys.  He 
stresses  two  important  noints :  the  aim  of  voca- 
tional guidance  is  self-discovery ;  its  method 
is  scientific.  Leaders  of  boys  especially  will 
find  the  book  suggestive.

The  Minds  and  Manners  of 
Wild  Animals 

By  William  T.  Hornaday 
Few  individuals  are  more  competent  to  ex- 
plain animal  intelligence  than  Mr.  Hornaday, 
the  Director  of  New  York  Zoological  Park. 
He  tells  how  animals  talk,  which  are  the  most 
intelligent,  of  the  wisdom  of  the  serpent,  the 
manlikeness  of  the  chimpanzee,  of  animail 
morals,  of  their  plays  and  pastimes,  and  of  the 
outcasts  and  criminals  among  them.  Further 
vivified  by  its  many  pictures,  the  book  is  one 
for  all  ages.     (Scribner.)  $2.50.

terest and  delight  the  reader  who  is  not  in  the

The  Great  White 
South 

By  Herbert  G.   Pouting 

The  author  was  the 
official  photographer  of  the 
famous  Scott  Expedition 
of  1910-13  which  reached 
the  South  Pole.  While 
part  of  the  book  is  given 
up  to  an  account  of  his 
own  and  his  companions* 
adventures  upon  the  ex- 
pedition, a  special  and  an 
important  feature  is  the 
ipicture  of  Antarctic  na- 
ture life.  The  pages  are 
filled  with  anecdotes  and 
observations  of  seals,  gulls, 
penguins  and  other  crea- 
tures indigenous  to  the  Far  South.  There  are 
175  remarkable  illustrations  both  from  photo- 
graphs and  drawings.     (McBride.)  $7-50 


Wild  Folk 

By  Samuel  Scoville,  Jr. 

Nature  lovers  know  the  author  of  "Every- 
day Adventures"  both  as  a  keen  observer  and 
a  skilful  interpreter  of  the  outdoor  world. 
This  new  book  of  true  stories  about  the  wild 
folk  is  written  in  the  same  friendly  and  engag- 
ing style  as  the  earlier.  It  is  an  adventure 
book,  too,  full  of  the  suppressed  excitement 
of  the  out-of-doors,  where  drama  is  always 
going  about  on  padded  feet.  The  stealthy 
actors  have  been  delightfully  pictured  by 
Charles  Livingston  Bull  and  Carton  Moore-

or  of  the  more  trodden  paths  of 
England,  he  never  fails  to  pro-

"W  hen  Vegetables

"Morals  of  Elm

Books  to  Put  You  in  Touch  With  Current  Religious  Questions 


In  His  Imagie 

By  IVilliam  Jennings  Bryan 
Mr.  Bryan's  challenge  to  Darwinism  has 
aroused  world  wide  comment.  In  this  book 
he  presents  his  own  convictions  while  speaking 
for  a  segment  of  people  for  the  most  part  un- 
heard. His  work  is  a  vigorous  appeal  to  re- 
velation, to  the  Bible  accepted  literally  as  the 
supreme  teacher.  The  subject  matter  of  the 
bocdc  was  hrst  given  in  the  form  of  lectures  at 
Union  Theological  Seminary  in  1921.    (Revell.)

God— or  Gorilla 

By  Alfred  W.  McCann 
The  purpose  of  this  frank  and  far  from 
gentle  book  is  to  dispel  what  the  author  calls 
"The  ape-man  hoax  now  scattering  its  corrup- 
tions thruout  the  world,"  or  as  its  subtitle 
states  it  shows,  "how  the  monkey  theory  of 
evolution  exposes  its  own  methods,  refutes  its 
own  principles,  denies  its  own  inferences,  dis- 
proves its  own  case."  "That  they  [those  who 
form  public  opinion]  may  be  given  an  oppor- 
tunity to  comprehend  the  truly  ridiculous 
character  of  the  fictions  they  have  been  led  to 
accept  as  'demonstrated  facts,'  the  writer," 
says  the  introduction,  "has  undertaken  to  pre- 
sent the  case  with  all  its  astounding  features 
as  they  have  been  acknowledged  by  the  fore- 
most scientists  of  Europe  and  America."

Painted  Windows 

Bv  "A  Gentleman  with  a  Duster" 
Thiis  new  message  from  the  author  of  "The 
Mirrors  of   Downing   Street"  and  '"The  Glass 
of    Fashion"    is    a    very    frank    discussion    of 
religion — of  the  chaos  of  opinion  which  exists 
in  the  modern  church,  illumined  by  the  intimate, 
personal   hiographies   of   twelve   great    leaders 
of   religious  thought  and  by  the  writer's  own 
logical  conclusions.     It  is  not  a  mere  arraign- 
ment of  the  Christian  religion,  but  on  the  con- 
ary,   a  hopefully  constructive  book  in   which

A  Handful  of  Stars 

By  F.  W.  Boreham 

The  distinguished  Australian  preacher  and 
essayist  appropriates  the  title  of  his  book  from 
Caliban,  who  crys  out :  "Oh  (}od,  if  you  wish 
for  our  love,  fling  us  a  handful  of  stars." 
The  "stars"  are  gathered  together  to  make  a 
companion  to  "A  Bunch  of  Everlastings." 
These  essay-sermons  are  from  texts  that  have 
moved  great  minds :  William  Penn,  Michael 
Faraday  and  others  in  the  world  of  reality; 
Robinson  Crusoe,  Sydney  Carton,  etc.,  in  the 
world  of  fiction.     (Abingdon.)  $1.75

A  group  of  essays   contributing  to  some  of 
the    vital    discussions    of    this    generation.      In 
speaking  of  the  contents  of  this  book,  the  au- 
thor   remarks    that    these    essays    have    some 
range  and  variety  of  theme,  and  that  they  are 
written   in   the   spirit   of   Browning's   lines : 
'This   world's   no   blot  or   blank; 
It   means    intensely   and   means   good. 
To   find   its   meaning   is   my    meat    and    drin'--.

New  Churches  for  Old 

By  John  Haynes  Holmes 

In  place  of  the  old  churches  based  on  sec- 
tarian theological  beliefs,  the  pastor  of  the 
Community  Church  of  New  York  pleads  for 
new  churches  based  on  democratic  social  ideal- 
ism. These  churches,  which  he  calls  Com- 
munity Churches,  would  substitute  for  loyalty 
to  the  single  denomination,  loyaltv  to  the  social 
group ;  for  a  private  group  of  worshiopers  held 
together  by  common  theological  ideas,  the 
public  group  of  citizens  held  together  bv  com- 
mon social  interests ;  for  restrictions  of  creed 
and  ritual,  the  free  spirit;  for  Christianity  as 
a  religion  of  special  revelation,  the  idea  of 
universal  religion.  (Dodd,  Mead.)  $2

The  Le  Gallienne  Book  of

This  collection  brings  together,  as  Mr.  Le 
Gallienne  says,  as  much  of  the  best  poetry  as 
it  is  possible  to  include  in  one  companionable 
volume.  In  time  it  extends  from  the  tenth 
century  to  the  present.  Its  convenient  size 
and  light  weight  contribute  toward  making  this

book  to  be  read  under  the  pines  or  from  the

Watchers  of  the  Sky 

By  Alfred  Noyes 

^  Following  the  idea  that  the  great  scientists, 
discoverers  and  inventors  are  the  torch  bearers 
of  the  world,  each  receiving  the  torch  of  learn- 
ing and  carrying  it  forward  until  it  must  be 
passed  to  his  successors,  Noyes  tells  the  won- 
derful stories  of  the  astronomers — "The 
Watchers  of  the  Sky."     In  his  own  words  : 

"...  I  sing 
Of  those  who  caught  the  pure  Promethean  fire 
One  from  another,  each  crying  as  he  went  down 
To  one  that  waited,  crowned  with   youth  and 

joy— 
Take  thou  the  splendour,  carry  it  out  of  sight 
Into  the  great  new  age  I  must  not  know 
Into  the  Great  new  realm  I  must  not  tread."

The  Veil   and 
Other  Poems 

By  Walter  de  la  Mare 
The  work  of  Walter 
de  la  Mare  is  full  of 
that  strange  magic 
which  is  the  inde- 
finable element  of  all 
true  poetry.  Reading 
it,  one  is  conjured 
into  a  new  world 
far  beyond  the 
reach  of  harsh  externalities,  a  world  concerned 
with  life  only  in  t^ms  of  beauty,  fantasy  and 
imagination — a  child's  world,  in  fact.  This 
new  volume  was  hailed  in  London  as  "graver, 
richer,  more  profound  than  his  earlier  work."

If 

By  Lord  Dunsany 
This  play,  concerning  the  powers  of  a  magic 
crystal  which  undid  ten  years  of  a  man's  life 
and  substituted  ten  other  amazing  years,  has 
had  a  successful  run  in  London  and  is  soon  to 
be  produced  in  this  country.  The  play  is  an 
Arabian  Nights  adventure,  a  mad  fantastic 
vision  of  an  Englishman  transported  by  tricky 
chance,  and  the  lure  of  feminine  charm,  to  a 
land  of  upside-down  morality,  where  the 
brazen  images  thirst  for  young  blood.  (Put-

"WHAT  IS  THE  USE  OF  A  BOOK 
WITHOUT  PICTURES?"  SAID  ALICE 

By  Hendrik  Willem  van  Loon 

Author  of  "The  Story  of  Mankind" 

ered  Ancient,  Mediaeval,  Modern  and  Ameri- 
can   History. 

•We  only  added  a  few  pictures  to  the  his- 
torical landscape  which  was  already  familiar 
to  most  teachers  and  to  many  pupils.  Perhaps 
it  may  serve  a  good  purpose  to  state  how  we 
came   to   write  these  twofold  histories. 

When  we  were  an  even  younger  child  than 
we  are  today,  we  used  to  love  to  draw.  Our 
pictures  were  very  bad,  but  they  pleased  us. 
The  public-school  methods  of  our  native  land" 
did  not  allow  us  to  waste  paper:  for  this  pur- 
pose when  we  ought  to  be  declining  Greek 
verbs.  (At  the  age  of  eleven,  eight  hours  per 
week  for  six  years!)  We  were  not  supposed 
to  depict  the  splendors  of  the  Acropolis. 

We  remember  a  tragic  day  of  open  conflict. 
For  some  obscure  reason  it  was  thought 
desirable  that  all  little  Dutch  kids  should 
know  the  names  of  all  the  counts  of  Holland 
from  922  to  I-have-forgotten-when.  Most  of 
these  worthies  were  so  terribly  dead  that  even 
their  graves  were  unknown.  All  the  same, 
we  had  to  learn  them  by  heart,  both  forward 
and   backward. 

The  names  alone  told  me  nothing,  and  so 
I  drew  pictures  of  these  old  fellows  with 
enormous  noses  and  queer  helmets.  This  bit 
of  historical  hieroglyphics  was  discovered  in 
my  desk,  and  I  was  duly  punished  by  writing 
one  hundred  times,  "I  must  not  draw  pictures 
during  the   lesson." 


A  SHORT  while  ago,  Heywood  Broun 
printed  a  story  which  he  had  picked  up 
during  one  of  his  metropolitan  per- 
egrinations. 

One  day,  the  Devil  and  his  First  Assis- 
tant were  taking  a  walk.  On  the  other  side 
of  the  street  they  spied  an  Honest  Citizen, 
quietly   pursuing   his   own    affairs. 

Suddenly  the  Honest  Citizen  stopped.  In 
the  rubbish  of  the  gutter  he  had  seen  a  little 
chunk  of  Truth.  Tenderly  he  lifted  it  to 
his  hreast  and  carefully  he  hid  it  behind  his 
shabby  coat. 

The  First  Assistant  Devil  was  greatly 
perturbed. 

"Most  Worshipful  Master,"  he  said,  "this 
is  a  terrible  thing.  That  man  has  got  hold 
of  a  bit  of  truth.     He  may  ruin  our  business." 

But  the  Devil  quietly  flicked  the  ashes  of 
his  Camel   and  smiled  angelically. 

"That  fellow  won't  do  us  any  harm,"  he 
replied,  "I  shatl  tempt  him  to  'organize.' " 

We  have  often  thought  of  that  yarn  when 
people  came  to  us  and  asked  us  what  we 
were  going  to  do  with  our  so-called  "New 
History." 

We  usually  answered  nothing. 

Then  they  said,  "But  you  must  work  it  out 
into  a  regular  school  of  history  with  text- 
books and  questions  and  quizzes  and  "hints 
to  teachers." 

And  then  we  whispered,  "Good  Lord,"  and 
left  by  the  nearest  door  or  window. 

It  would  be  very  foolish  to  deny  that  the 
sudden  and  wholly  unexpected  success  of  the 
**Story  of  Mankind"  has  been  anything  but 
pleasant. 

At  the  same  time,  we  must  admit  that  we 
often  feel  like  a  donkey  when  we  are  hailed 
as  a  Messiah  of  a  new  and  better  day  in  the 
Elysian  Fields   of   History. 

The  dawn  of  that  new  and  better  day  had 
1  risen  when  Beard  and  Robinson  and  Breasted 
gave  us  their  excellent  textbooks,  which  cov-

Wi- 


Since  then  I  have  been  dragged  thru  every 
sort  of  school,  academy  and  university.  My 
memory — or  rather  the  mussy  substance 
which  the  Gods  gave  me  as  such — has  been 
filled  with  more  useless  facts  than  are  asked 
every  year  in  a  General  Information  Ex- 
amination of  Bryn  Mawr  College,  and  that, 
speaking  in  the  Weaverese  of  our  dear  Mayor, 
is  "saying  a  mouthful." 

Finally  my  memory  looked  like  the  room 
of  a  Sophomore  on  the  morning  after  Junior 
week.  It  was  necessary  to  reestablish  a  sem- 
blance of  order. 


1564 

By  that  time  I  had  grown  so  big  that  I 
ould  no  longer  be  punished.  No  one  could 
;Tevent  me  from  drawing  all  the  pictures  in 
he  world.  And  so  I  set  to  work  and  clas- 
sified my  information  with  the  help  of  a  pen 
and  a  bottle  of  Higgins'  ink.  In  those  days 
F  had  a  strong  ambition  to  become  a  college 
professor.     1    therefore    wrote   several    serious 


i'-Wai/i^^ 


lx)oks,  the  sort  of  learned  tomes  which  event- 
ually bring  promotion.  In  my  spare  moments 
I  drew  illustrated  histories.  The  first  of 
these  was  done  one  summer  in  the  Adiron- 
lacks.  It  was  a  history  of  the  discovery  of 
\merica.  I  had  no  pen,  and  so  I  bit  upon 
the  idea  of  using  matches.  For  some  reason 
or  other  the  manuscript  finally  wandered  into 
the  hands  of  the  late  Lord  Bryce.  The  old 
gentleman  was  possessed  of  a  great  deal  of 
humor.  The  world  only  knew  him  as  the  au- 
thor of  "The  American  Commonwealth,"  but 
he  really  could  be  quite  funny.  He  asked  me 
why  I  did  not  work  the  idea  out  into  a  regu- 
lar book.  I  had  my  doubts.  Could  I  ever 
find  a  publisher? 

All  the  same,  I  wrote  and  drew  two  more 
histories ;  one,  a  "Short  History  of  Discovery," 
and  one  a  "History  of  England."  Then  I  sent 
them  to  all  the  publishers  in  these  United 
States,  and  they  all  said  "Nay." 

But  one  day,  Louis  Fuertes,  the  man  who 
paints  birds  and  besides  does  everything  and 
does  it  better  than  any  one  else,  gave  a  party, 
and  F.  P.  A.  and  Beck,  the  color-print  man 
from  Philadelphia,  happened  to  come  to  my 
office  (in  those  days  I  was  disturbing  the 
peace  and  quiet  of  Cornell  by  teaching  his- 
tory in  that  University.  For  further  par- 
ticulars, ask  the  oldest  residents)  and  they 
saw  this  queer  book  and  Beck  said  that  he 
knew  a  man  in  Philadelphia  who  might  take 
a  strange  thing  like  that.  The  man  was  the 
late  David  McKay.  He  took  the  "Short  His- 
tory of  Discovery"  and  published  it.  I  am 
mighty  sorry  that  he  did  not  live  to  see  the 
access  of  the  "Story  of  Mankind."  Perhaps 
they  have  a  copy  of  it  in  the  Scotch  Room  in 
I feavcn. 

That  .seems  to  tell  the  whole  story.

can  use  the  same  method. 

Of  course,  the  teacher,  having  been  taught 
too  many  things  during  too  many  years,  may 
not  be  able  to  draw,  but  her  pupils,  who  are 
fresh  and  untrained,  sufTer  from  no  such

correct,  they  say,  "No,  but  we  are  accustomed 
to  them,  and  your  maps  .  .  .  well,  anyway,  we 
don't  like  them." 

I  never  try  to  convince  them.  Anyone  wbo 
ever  discovers  a  tendency  in  me  to  preach  a 
sermon  has  a  perfect  right  to  shoot  me  on 
sight.  As  it  is,  we  have  too  many  schools,  too 
many  "movements,"   too  many   "New   Ideas." 

The  "Story  of  Mankind"  carries  no  new 
message.  It  acknowledges  and  accepts  the 
fact  that  the  eye  is  in  most  instances  a  better 
guide  than  the  ear. 

But  this  was  known  to  the  little  Greek  boy, 
who  three  thousand  years  ago,  filled  his 
papyrus  with  little  pothooks  and  curlicues, 
that  he  might  remember  the  pedagogue's 
learned  exhortations 

The  pedagogues  have  not  changed. 

Neither  have  the  little  boys 

It  would  be  unfair  for  us  to  judge  the  re- 
spective merits  of  this  age-old  quarrel  By 
trade  and  profession,  we  are  one  of  the 
pedagogues.  By  natural  inclination  and  by 
preference,  we  belong  to  the  unruly  tribe  of 
the  kids. 

We  are  sincerely  sorry.  But  (quoting 
Dr.  Martin  Luther  and  Professor  Woodrow 
Wilson)  "God  helping  us,  we  can  do  no 
otherwise." 

And  so  we  accept  our  fate.  And  have  taken 
a  job  with  the  Baltimore  Sun,  where  they 
let  us  waste  the  old  Higgins'  Ink  by  the 
gallon.

THE  WORLD'S  MAKING  IN  BOOKS 

To  Help  you  Catch  up  on  Current 
and  Other-day  Topics 


Washington  and  the  Riddle 
of  Peace 

By  H.  G.  Wells 
Mr.  Wells  writes  in  his  introduction :  "These 
papers  do  not  profess  to  be  a  record  or  descrip- 
tion of  the  Washington  Conference.  They 
merely  give  the  impression  and  fluctuating 
ideas  of  one  visitor.  They  record  in  a  very 
friendly  and  appreciative  spirit,  the  birth  and 
unfolding  of  the  "Association  of  Nations"  idea, 
the  Harding  idea  of  world  pacification,  and 
they  study  the  chief  difficulties  on  its  v/ay  to 
realization.     (Macmillan.)  $2 

Europe — Whither  Bound 

By  Stephen  Graham 
There  is  no  shrewder,  more  independent 
observer  of  what  recent  years  have  brought 
to  Europe  than  this  well-known  traveler  and 
recorder  of  impressions.  Europe,  he  believes, 
has  begun  a  rapid  decline,  yet  there  is  hope 
for  recovery.  In  order  to  find  the  ground 
for  hope,  Mr.  Graham  undertook  a  tour  from 
capital  to  capital.  The  impressions  and  con- 
clusions from  this  first-hand  contact  make  a 
detailed  picture  of  Europe  of  today.

The  Rising  Temper  of 
the  East 

By  Frazier  Hunt 
Frazier  Hunt  has  used  the  bird's-eye  method 
with  pleasant  effectiveness.  In  a  dozen  "close- 
up"  chapters  he  takes  the  reader  with  him, 
literally  from  "Greenland's  icy"  to  "India's 
coral"  and  to  a  number  of  intervening  places 
and  thus  builds  up  a  vivid  picture  of  a  world 
in  ferment.  Not  only  did  Mr.  Hunt  inter- 
view Mahatma  Gandhi  and  the  other  leaders, 
but  he  went  among  the  common  people,  the 
taos,  the  fellaheens,  the  coolies,  the  peasants, 
and  everywhere  he  found  the  same  longing  for 
liberty.  He  tells  his  story  for  the  average 
American,  who  is  not  concerned  with  conauests 
and  treaties,  but  who  looks  with  kindly  eye  on 
the  under-dog.     (Bobbs-Merrill.)  $2.50 

International  Relations 

By  Viscount  Bryce 
These  lectures  describe  the  general  type  of 
international  relationship  in  ancient,  medieval, 
and  early  modern  history ;  the  conditions  that 
directly  culminated  in  the  Great  War;  the 
relations  other  than  political,  such  as  those  of 
production,  commerce,  transportation,  and 
finance;  and,  finally  they  discuss  the  causes  of 


war  and  of  the  methods  of  averting  them. 
These  studies  are  the  product  of  ripe  scholar- 
ship to  be  expected  from  the  author  of  "The 
Holy  Roman  Empire."  They  are  distinguished 
by  broad  practical  experience  of  the  writer 
and  they  show  that  tolerance,  penetration,  that 
familiarity  with  men  and  events  which  can 
come  from  an  astute  and  sympathetic  investiga- 
tor. '  (Macmillan.)  $2.50. 

A  Revision  of  the  Treaty 

By  John  Maynard  Keynes 
The  smoke  clearing  from  the  field  of  battic 
over  the  issues  raised^  by  "The  Economic  Con- 
sequences of  the  Peace"  disclosed  Mr.  Keynes 
with  a  solidly  established  reputation  as  a  sooth- 
sayer, and  so  many  of  his  forecasts!  have  been 
verified  in  the  course  of  events  in  the  past  two 
years  that  his  present  drastic  proposals  will 
undou'btedly  be  sure  of  respectful  attention. 
His  new  book  is  in  reality  a  sequel  to  "The 
Consequences."  The  first  part  is  an  account 
of  the  significant  events  of  the  past  two  years; 
the  second  makes  far-reaching  and  definite 
suggestions  for  the  settlement  of  the  world- 
wide economic  and  financial  turmoil.  (Har- 
court.)  $2. 

The  Story  of  the  Irish  Nation 

By  Francis  Hackett 
This  is  a  sympathetic  history  of  the  Irish 
by  an  Irishman,  the  literary  editor  of  The 
New  Republic.  It  is  based  upon  fifteen  years 
of  investigation  of  sources ;  ana  it  is  dramatic 
and  colorful.  The  book  aims  to  go  behind 
political  history,  to  reach  the  human  and  pop- 
ular forces  that  have  made  Ireland  what  it  is. 
Mr.  Hackett  touches  mainly  the  high  lights, 
but  he  crowds  a  rich  wealth  of  detail  into  the 
backgrounds  of  his  canvas.  Anyone  who  has 
read  and  digested  this  volume  knows  more 
than  he  realizes  about  the  whole  Irish  ques- 
tion.     (Century.)  $2.50 

Old  Europe's  Suicide 

By  Brigadier-General  C.  B.  Thomson 
The  writer  of  this  brief  history  of  Europe 
was  a  General  Staff  officer  at  the  British  War 
Office  from  191 1  to  1914;  attached  to  General 
Headquarters  in  France  from  1914  to  1915; 
military  attache  in  the  Balkans  from  1915  to 
1917,  and  attached  as  a  British  military  rep- 
resentative to  the  Supreme  War  Council  at 
Versailles,  1918  to  1919.  He  has  interpolated 
the  record  of  events  with  verbal  sketches  of 
life  in  the  Balkans  and  vivid  descriptive  pass- 
ages.    (Seltzer.)  $2

Peacemakers 

By  Ida  M.  Tarhell 
"Blessed  and  Otherwise,  Impressions,  Reflec- 
tions, and  Irritations  at  an  International  Con- 
ference."      One    of     the     foremost    American 
women  journalists  has  written  here  a  refresh- 
ingly  intimate  account    of    the   winter   months 
in  Washington,  reflecting  all  the  little  currents 
of    feeling,    catching   all    the    little    flurries    of 
gossip,    that    made    our    capital    city    such    an 
absorbingly  fascinating  location  for  the  expert 
news    writer.      While   the    world    was   judging 
the  great  personalities  involved  thru  the  medium 
4    their    formal    speeches,    Miss    Tarbell    was 
ludying   them   at   firsthand,   and    now   records

hservation.     (Alacmillan.)  $i.6o 

Mr.  Punch's  History  of  Modern 
England 

By  Charles  L.  Graves 
Volumes  III  and  IV  are  now  ready  of  this 
lironicle  of  life  in  England  drawn  in  its   es- 
rntials  from  the  pages  of  the  famous  maga- 
zine Punch.     It  is  in  reality  a  history  of  the 
\'ictorians   written   by  themselves.   John  Wea- 
ver,  the    "colyumist"    of    the    Brooklyn   Daily 
Eagle  comments  on  the  earlier  volumes :     "To 
read    his    comments    on    customs    and    events, 
illustrated   profusely   with    cartoons    and    cari- 
catures   in    the    familiar    and   excellent    Punch

Our  Eleven  Billion  Dollars 

By   Robert   Mountsier 
"Our    Eleven    Billion    Dollars"    brings    the 
'  lenoa   Conference,   with   the   European   politi- 

al  and  economic  situation,  direct  to  the  Am- 
erican   home    and   office — to    the    business   man

that  the  $11,000,000,000  which  Europe's  gov- 
ernments and  so-called  governments  owe  the 
lUnited  States  mean  more  to  the  American 
citizen  than  to  Lloyd  George  and  Poincare. 
the  Germans  and  the  Bolshevists.  The  book 
is  the  work  of  an  American  correspondent 
who  has  divided  the  last  twelve  Acars  T^etween 
Europe  and  the  United  States,  writing  for 
the  American  and  foreign  press  and  prepar- 
ing financial  and  industrial  reports  for  var"-

After  the  War 

By  Colonel  Repinqton 
Colonel  Repington's  new  book  is  a  continua-

The  Mexican  Mind 

By  Wallace  Thompson 
It  has  remained  for  Mr.  Thompson  to  clari- 
fy the  mutual  understanding  of  the  Latin  and 
Saxon  peoples  of  the  North  American  con- 
tinent by  a  frank  comparison  of  their  mental 
processes  and  an  analysis  of  the  Mexican 
mentality.  Along  with  hi-s  analysis  there  is 
a  running  commentary  on  the  curious  and 
quaint  customs  of  Mexican  life.  The  racial 
traits  are  illustrated  by  anecdotes  and  inci- 
dents, the  habits  and  customs — so  often  dis- 
concerting and  annoying  to  the  traveler  or  to 
the  person  seeking  to  establish  business  rela- 
tions because  not  understood  or  appreciated — 
are  explained  and  traced  back,  and  shown  to 
be  based  on  fixed  national  habits  of  thought.

Public  Opinion 

By  Walter  Lippman 
Turn  your  brain  inisiide  out  for  a  moment: 
what  do  you  really  knoiv  about  the  tariff. 
Christian  Science,  the  coal  strike,  organized 
labor,  and  six  dozen  other  things  about  which 
you  are  constantly  expressing  opinions?  And 
yet  this  largely  nondescript,  half-baked  assort- 
ment of  opinion  based  upon  hearsay,  prejudice, 
personal  interest,  etc.,  is  your  equipment  for 
functioning  as  one  complete  unit  in  American 
public  opinion.  Mr.  Lippman  takes  up  the 
tendency  of  each  of  us  to  manufacture  private 
stereo tyned  opinions  and  suggests  a  way  by 
which  both  individually  and  as  a  nation  we 
can  lessen  this  premature  hardening  of  the 
mental  arteries.     (Harcourt.)  $3.50. 

Peace  and  Bread  in  Time 
of  War 

By  Jane  Addams 
The  attitude  of  Miss  Addams  during  the 
Great  War  is  one  that  most  Americans  respect 
for  its  courage,  altho  they  may  not  agree  with 
her  theories.  Her  new  book  is  an  intimate 
history  of  the  efforts  for  peace  made  bv  her 
little  group  of  women  associates  in  the  United 
States,  and  of  their  connection  with  the  women 
of  other  countries,  as  they  became  organized 
together  into  the  Women's  International  League 
for  Peace  and  Freedom.  The  title,  originallv 
a  touching  slogan  of  war-weary  Russian 
peasants,  was  chosen,  Miss  Addams  tells  us, 
"because  peace  and  bread  became  inseparably 
associated  in  my  mind."     (Macmillan.)  $2

A  Daughter

Memoirs  of 

Princess   de   Chimay 

The  Princess  de 
Chimay,  f r(3m  whom 
this  record  came  thru 
family  connections  to 
Princess  Bibesco,  who 
writes  the  introduction, 
was  a  daughter  of 
Napoleon  by  the  beau- 
tiful Madame  de  Pe'- 
lapra  of  Lyons — a  fact 
seemingly  k  n  o  w  n  to 
many  at  the  time,  tho 
apparently  not  to  the 
author  of  these  mem- 
oirs herself  until  she 
was  well  advanced 
toward  womanhood. 
Pjrought  up  with  the 
utmost  care  and  in  sur- 
roundings more  than 
ordinarily  luxurious, 
she  was  an  an  attrac- 
tive and  much  admired  i'kincess  de  chimay,  dx 
figure  in  the  social  life 
of  her  time,  Tho 
pathos  and  even  tragedy 
entered  into  her  life  at  times,  her  memoirs  are 
full  of  the  joy  of  living,  of  witty  comment  and 
of  charming  pictures  of  French  domestic  life.

Up  Stream 

By  Ludivig  Lewisohn 
This  distinguished  critic  turns  aside  from 
the  works  and  lives  of  others  to  speak  of  him- 
self. In  his  confession  there  are  sharp  and 
bitter  notes,  but  the  sharpness  and  bitterness 
are  pleas  for  the  ideal  w'hich  the  world  denies. 
The  implications  of  this  autobiography  on 
American  life,  institutions  and  culture  will 
arouse  much  discussion.     (Boni.)  $3 

My  Memories  of  Eighty  Years 

By  Chaimccy  M.  Depciv 
Mr.  Depew  is  a  citizen  of  the  world  as  well 
as  the  favorite  son  of  New  York,  and  the 
record  of  his  long  and  crowded  life  unites 
periods  as  distant  and  dissimilar  as  the  Civil 
War  and  the  present  day.  He  has  known  the 
leaders  in  politics,  finance,  journalism  and  so- 
ciety from  Lincoln  to  Harding,  and  has  been 
friendly  with  millionaires  and  brakemen.  It 
is  like  telling  the  (beads  of  noted  Americans  to 
ennumerate  his  familiars.  The  style  is  chattv. 
anecdotal  and  episodic.     (Scribner.)  $4 


Young  Boswell 

By  Chaunccy  B.  Tinker 

This  delightful 
volume  puts  the  quietus 
on  the  absurd  supersti- 
tion that  a  man  could 
write  a  great  book  and 
be  himself  a  mere 
homunculus.  It  is  a 
permanent  and  charm- 
ingly considered  por^ 
trait  of  the  Bozzy  for 
whom  sensible  readers 
have  always  felt  affec- 
tion and  amusement  in- 
divisibly  mixed.  Profes- 
sor Tinker,  of  Yale, 
who  is  the  recognized 
authority  on  i8th  cen- 
tury literature,  has 
based  his  book  on  the 
discovery  of  manuscript 
letters  written  by  the 
Boswell  not  then  known' 
to  fame,  to  Rousseau, 
Goldsmith,  and  other 
celebrities  of  the  day. 
The  book  is  written  with 
a  humane  and  humorous 
understanding  and  clear- 
ly points  out  Boswell's 
extraordinary  social  gift.     (Atlantic.)         $3.50. 

Fyodor  Dostoyevsky 

By  Aimee  Dostoyevsky 

Not  the  least  interesting  parts  of  Aimee 
Dostoyevsky's  biography  of  her  father  are 
those  which  bear  upon  his  relations  with  his 
two  great  contemporaries,  Turgeney  and  Tol- 
stoy. Originally  a  warm  friend  of  Turgenev, 
Dostoyevsky  became  his  bitter  enemy.  Mile. 
Dostoyevsky  warmly  takes  her  father's  side  in 
the  quarrel,  altho  it  is  generally  believed  that 
he  was  hopelessly  in  the  wrong.  "They  had 
a  sincere  admiration  for  each  other's  gifts," 
says  she,  "but  their  respective  ideas  and  out- 
look upon  life  were  radically  opposed."

John  Burroughs  Talks 

Ih'  Clifton  Johnson 
Clifton  Johnson,  author,  editor  and  photo- 
grapher, made  many  visits  to  John  Burroughs 
from  1894  on,  and  each  time  he  wrote  out  a 
full  record  of  the  conversation  from  noteis 
taken  on  the  spot  The  talks  cover  many  sulb- 
jects,  for  while  Burroughs  declares  himself 
to  have  been  merely  a  spectator  of  the  times, 
he  really  had  a  lively  interest  in  all  sorts  of 
activities.  He  was  a  racy  talker  and  Mr.  John- 
ston has  preserved  the  tang  and  flavor  of  the 
spoken  word.  The  book  is  not  only  an  in- 
valuable contribution  to  our  knowledge  of  John 
Burroughs's  personality  and  opinions,  but  it 
is  also  a  notable  and  permanent  addition  to 
American  biographical  literature.  The  illus- 
trations are  from  photographs  by  the  author.

An  Autobiography 

By  John  Bnrroughs 

This  book  pictures  the 
life  of  the  late  philosopher

is  amazing  that  an  old  man 
could  think  himself  back 
into  the  psychology  of  his 
boyhood  with  such  fidelity. 
It  pives  a  living  picture  of 
a  life  that  is  forever  gone^ — 
the  life  of  the  self-contained 
farm,  where  they  raised 
their  own  food,  made  most 
of  their  own  clothes  and 
thought  their  own  thoughts.. 
This  book  should  appeal  to 
every  lover  of  nature,  of 
human  nature  or  of  litera- 
ture. The  conclusion  is  by 
Trl'an  Burroughs,  the  na-' 
turalist's  son  who  has  also

VACATION  BOOKS  FOR  BOYS  AND 

GIRLS 


By 
Mary  E.  S.  Root 

Children's   Librarian 


VACATION  time  is  drawing  near.  Schools 
are  prearing  lists  for  summer  reading 
with  "school  credit."  Bulging  trunks 
stand  before  perplexed  parents  and  discards 
are  inevitable.     "Are  books  necessary?" 

Recently  I  heard  a  prominent  New  York 
social  worker  remark,  "In  my  trip  here  from 
New  York  two  very  attractive  young  girls 
had  chairs  opposite  mine.  They  were  "good 
to  look  at."  But  as  time  wore  on  they  seem- 
ed to  lack  something,  to  evidence  a  poverty 
of  interests.  They  didn't  read,  didn't  talk  to 
a  purpose,  their  faces  seemed  to  be  soulless. 
I   felt  sorry  for  the  poor  things." 

Again  recently  during  a  conversation  a 
father  remarked,  "I  am  going  away  to  our 
-iimmer  place  armed  with  books.  The  special 
J  roup  of  young  people  I  am  interested  in 
hang  around  and  don't  seem  to  know  how 
to  talk.  If  I  can  get  them  all  to  read  one 
lK)ok,  and  it  can  furnish  some  common  topic 
of  conversation  I  shall  be  happy." 

One  recalls  Paul  in  Allen  Harker's  "Paul 
and  Fiammetta."  Paul  had  a  passion  for 
books.  He  could  tear  the  heart  out  of  a  book 
while  some  one  else  was  looking  at  the  title 
page.  He  judged  his  mother's  guests  by 
their  luggage:  would  it  contain  books  or 
clothes?  "We'll  go  and  see.  Tonks,"  he 
would  whisper  to  his  invisible  companion.. 
•'l)ut  I  don't  think  there'll  be  much.  It's  dull 
looking  luggage."  But  whether  the  visitor 
brought  many  1)ooks  or  few.  Paul  alwavs  read 
them.  Paul  could  talk,  he  had  many  interests, 
lie  had  been  exposed  to  books. 

An  excellent  thought  to  keep  before  young 
people  is,  that  there  are  three  grades  of 
prople— those  that  talk  about  ideals,  those 
that  talk  about  things,  and  those  that  talk 
al)Out  people.  It  is  for  us  to  choose  where 
our  children  are  to  be  classified.  Books  are 
a  very  potent  factor  in  enlarging  horizons. 
( )ne  can't  imagine  a  child  nourished  on  books 
of  the  type  listed  in  Grace  Hazard  Conkling's 
Imagination    and     Children's  Reading"    and 


freely  exposed  afterwards  to  a  very  wide 
range  of  reading  who  could  have  a  "poverty 
of   interests." 

We  are,  as  parents,  more  or  less  "movie" 
or  motor  mad,  or  golf  or  radio  or  pleasure- 
seeking  mad,  and  it  reacts  on  our  children. 
Let  us  have  less  restlessness  in  our  home 
circle,  let's  see  to  it  that  packed  trunks  are 
not  "dull  luggage"  and  that  we  don't  hoist 
responsibility  for  their  reading  on  to  schools. 

A  book  for  the  family  circle  is  Van  Loon's 
"Story  of  Mankind."  Its  chapter  on  a  New 
World  is  heartening  to  youth  and  age,  and 
the  history   bibliography  fills   gaps. 

Young  people  frankly  like  to  be  up-to-date, 
so  form  with  your  sports  club,  a  drama  club. 
Some  young  folks  I  know,  were  keenly  in- 
terested last  summer  in  reading^  modem 
plays  like  Lord  Dunsany's  "Night"  At  An 
Inn,"  Beulah  Dix's  "Allison's  Lad,"  Stuart 
Walker's  "Six  who  Pass  While  the  Lentils  - 
Boil,"  and  Barrie's  "The  Old  Lady  Shows 
her  Medals."  Parts  were  assigned,  one  re- 
hearsal only  required  before  the  weekly  pub- 
lic reading,  and  the  young  people  were  al- 
ways  searching  for  new  material. 

Nor  is  it  such  a  far  journey  as  one  would 
think  for  young  brains  from  Colonel  Cody's 
"Autobiography  of  Buffalo  Bill"  to  Duncan's 
"Dr.  Grenfell's  Parish."  Hall's  "Hi?h  Ad- 
venture," Pickett's  "Heart  of  a  Soldier," 
Paine's  "Short  Life  of  Alark  Twain"  or  even 
Strachey's  "Queen  Victoria."  Another  ap- 
proach to  "Queen  Victoria"  would  be  thru 
the  little  play  "The  Queen.  God  Bless  Her" 
in  Laurence  Housman's  "Angels  and  Min- 
isters." ^ 

We  agree  emphatically  with  William  Haz- 
litt  when  he  says,  "I  do  not  think  altogether  • 
the  worse  of  a  book  for  having  survived  the 
author  a  generation  or  two"  yet  we  may  have 
to  break  thru  some  walls  guardedly  if  the 
love  of  books  has  become  strangled.  "The 
prince  always  has  to  break  thru  briars  to 
kiss  the  Sleeping  Beauty  awake."

bit  of  happiness."  They  love  as  only  the  pure 
in  heart, can  love;  as  only  youth  can  love.

More  Jataka  Tales 

By  Ellen  C.  Babbitt 

The  Jatakas,  or  birth-stories,  form  one  of 
the  sacred  books  of  the  Buddhists  and  relate 
to  the  adventures  of  the  Buddha  in  his  former 
existence.  They  are  the  simplest  of  folk-tales 
and  highly  appropriate  for  little  children; 
yet,  they  have  a  strangeness  and  charm  that 
appeal  strongly  to  adults.  Many  of  them  are 
tales  of  animals,  wise  or  foolish,  playing  one 
another  all  sorts  of  tricks,  somewhat  after  tht 
manner  of  Uncle  Remus's  stories.  They  are 
illustrated  by  Ellsworth  Young's  silhouettes.

six  "reels"  of  adventure  in  the  sky  among  "Old 
SoFs  children  and  grandchild" — the  planets  and 
the  moon.  While  the  book  is  full  of  fancy, 
the  scientific  facts  are  accurately  given.  Even 
grown-ups  will  have  bothersome  questions  ans- 
wered if  they  will  join  these  three  children  in 
the  fairy  "Wonder  Ring."  Mr.  Johnson  has 
provided,  in  addition,  a  genuine  novelty — a  real 
moving  picture  play  in  which  the  children  can 
actually  see  how  the  "Lady  Luna  Moon"  waxes 
and  wanes,  as  the  pages  of  the  play  are  rapidly

Hi 


THERE  is  a  love  and  mystery  story 
by  Elizabeth  Jordan  just  from  the 
press.  It  is  called  "The  Blue 
Circle,"  and  it  is  warranted  to  mystify, 
thrill  and  delight.  Miss  Jordan,  author 
also  of  "The  Girl  in  the  Mirror,"  is  an 
expert  practitioner  of  the  love-mystery 
story.  Her  plots  are  original  and  her 
style   is  without  a  single  yawn. 

The  Western  story  continues  to  fas- 
cinate its  thousands.  Maybe  it's  the 
appeal  of  their  outdoor  settings  to  shut- 
in  folks  of  the  cities  and  towns. 
"Shoe-Bar  Stratton,"  by  Joseph  B. 
Ames,  is  a  rattling  good  story  of  the 
Texas  cow  country.  It  will  carry  any 
reader  to  the  page  marked  "The  End," 
and  he  will  be  glad  he  made  the  trip. 
The  most  widely  and  passionately 
discussed  novel  of  the  present  book 
season  is  T.  S.  Stribling's  "Birthright." 
Wherever  alert  reading  people  gather 
they  talk  about  "Birthright"  and  some- 
times almost  fight  about  "Birthright." 
Heywood  Broun,  in  his  column  in  The 
New  York  World,  has  been  hearing  both 
sides  of  the  question  in  stormy  letters 
from  his  readers.  Well,  it's  a  great 
book,  and  not  to  have  read  it  is  to 
be  a  mile  or  so  in  the  rear  of  the  band- 
wagon. 

"Better  than  'Moon  Calf  "  says  Hey- 
wood Broun  in  The  New  York  World 
about  "The  Road  to  the  World"  by 
Webb  Waldron.  Well,  that's  the  sort 
of  novel  "The  Road  to  the  World"  is, 
and  it  is  without  question  one  of  the 
four  or  five  finest  pieces  of  full-length 
fiction  published  this  season.  It  will  be 
welcomed  wildly  by  readers  who  like 
Hardy,  Hergesheimer,  Conrad,  Ham- 
sun, and  their  like. 

The  liveliest,  most  colorful,  most  ab- 
sorbing romance  of  the  mysterious  East 
published  in  a  long  time  is  "Caravans 
By  Night."  Harry  Hervey  wrote  it, 
and  he  deserves  all  the  "hand"  the  crit- 
ics are  giving  him.  H.  'L.  Mencken  is 
enthusiastic  about  him.  "He  can  tell  a 
story,"  Mr.  Mencken  declares. 

You  have  wanted  to  know  the  secrets 
of  the  drug  store  and  the  prescription 
counter — (where  the  medicines  come 
from,  how  they  are  made,  bow  they  are 
marketed ;  the  romantic  stories  of  the 
famous  "patent"  medicines,  etc.,  etc. 
"The  Story  of  Drugs,"  by  H.  C.  Fuller 
of  the  Institute  of  Industrial  Research, 
is  the  book  you  need. 


There  has  just  been  published  a  book 
for  which  .thousands  of  people  must  be 
waiting.  It  is  a  dependable  history  of 
Ireland  by  an  Irish  scholar  written  with 
the  color  and  fire  of  a  fine  novel ;  and 
one  which  goes  back  to  the  beginning 
and  comes  up  to  the  estal^lishment  of  Ire- 
land as  a  Free  State.  It  is  "The  Story 
of  the  Irish  Nation"  by  Francis  Hackett, 
formerly  Literary  Editor  of  The  New 
Republic. 

Asia  is  at  present  much  more  im- 
portant to  us  than  any  other  large 
foreign  section  of  the  world.  E.  Alexan- 
der Powell's  "Asia  At  the  Crossroads" 
deals  with  Japan,  Korea,  China  and 
the  Philippines,  and  he  is  as  interesting 
as  he  is  informative.  It  is  the  most 
readable  book  on  the  Far  East  recently 
printed. 

Why  do  people  read  travel  books?  Be- 
cause, if  they  are  good  books,  they  take 
you  there  and  bring  you  back  at  a  cost 
far  less  than  one-tenth  of  one  per  cent  of 
the  traveling  expenses.  Do  you  want 
to  take  a  flying"  trip  to  New  Guiana,  to 
start  whenever  you  please  and  return 
whenever  you  like,  at  $2.00  Get  W.  F. 
Alder's  "The  Isle  of  Vanishing  Men."

The  Wreck 
Hunters 

By  Dr.  frauds  Kolt- 

Wheeler 
Fancy  the  work  of  a 
diver  exploring  fathoms 
below  the  surface  of  a 
wreck  of  a  Spanish 
galleon  laden  with  gold! 
This  is  what  Dr.  Rolt- 
Wheeler  describes  in  his 
latest  book  for  boys. 
With  young  Latimer, 
son  and  grandson  of  the 
most  famous  wreckers 
of  the  Bahamas,  as  a 
central  figure,  he  shows 
how  sunken  millions  are 
salvaged  and  what 
bravery  and  expert  nauti- 
cal and  mechanical  skill 
are  required.  (Lothrop,

Lost  Alaska  Expedition."  (Burt.)  ca.  65c. 

The  Radio  Boys  First  Wireless 

By  Allen  Chapman 
This  captivating  tale  shows  how  several  boys 
of  a  small  town  became  interested  in  radio- 
phoning  and  how  they  set  about  making  their 
own  receiving  apparatus.  They  had,  of 
course,  a  number  of  rivals,  and  when  a  rich 
man  of  that  vicinity  offered  a  prize  for  the 
best  made  amateur  set,  their  rivals  did  what 
they  could  to  bring  their  hard  work  to  naught. 
The  story  gives  many  directions  for  building 
a  small  wireless  receiving  set,  and  also  tells  of 
radio  work  in  general.  Other 
volumes  to  follow  in  the  series 
are:  "The  Radio  Boys  at  Ocean 
Point";  "The  Radio  Boys  at  the 
Sending  Station";  "The  Radio 
iioys  at  Mountain  Pass";  "The 
Radio  Boys  Trailing  a  Voice."

There  is  much  sound  tennis  advice 
brought  out  thru  the  conversation.

sor  Thomson  is  one  of  the  leading  scientists

for  this  compact  story  of  evolution  and  scien-

The  Idea  of  Einstein's  Theory 

By  J.  H.   Thirring 

Professor  Thirring  of  the  University  of 
\'ienna  gives  a  connected  and  logically  com- 
])lete  presentation  of  Einstein's  theory  of 
relativity,  w'ithout  including  any  mathematical- 
formulae.  His  book  differs  from  other  pop- 
ular expositions  of  this  nature  in  that  it  not 
only  mentions  and  explains  the  results  of  the 
theory  in  short  compass,  but  shows  how  these 
results  were  necessarily  obtained  by  a  logical 
treatment  of  the  facts  of  physical  experience. 
The  author  has  attempted  to  lay  bare  the 
framework  of  ideas  round  which  the  structure 
of  relativity  is  built,  and  also  to  set  forth  how, 
with  Einstein,  ideas  proceed  one  from  another, 
like  the  members  of  a  chain  of  conclusions. 
In  many  instances  the  train  of  thought  of  the 
()])ponents  of  Einstein's  theory  is  also  con- 
sidered.    (iMcBride.)  $2

colorful  scenes,  of  quiet  interludes  at  way- 
side inns,  of  old  towns,  and  open  country, 
interspersed  with  observations  on  new  currents 
in  an  ancient  civilization.  In  this  book  of 
fresh  impressions  on  a  much  misunderstood 
country,  the  author  of  "Three  Soldiers"  re- 
veals himself  in  a  new  light.     (Doran.)  $2 

The  Pivot  of  Civilization 

By  Margaret  Sanger 
In    his    introduction    to    this    book    by    the_ 
leading  exponent  of  the  birth  control  movement, 
H.  G.  Wells  says  in  part:     "There  have  been 
several  able  books  published  recently  upon  the 
question   of   birth  control,   from  the  points  of 
view  of  a  woman's  personal  life,  and  of  mar: 
ried  happiness,  but  I   do  not  think  there  has 
been    any    book,    as    yet    popularly    accessible, 
(presenting  this  matter  from  the  point  of  view 
of  the  public  good,  and  as  a  necessary  step  to 
the   further   improvement   of   human  life  as  a' 
whole.      There    has    hitherto    been    rather    too 
much   personal    emotion    spent   upon    the  busi- 
ness  and   far   too   little  attention   given   to  its 
broader  aspects.     Mrs.  Sanger,  v/ith  her  extra- 
ordinary   breadth    of    outlook    and    the    real 
scientific  quality   of   her  mind,   has   lifted  this, 
question  from  out  of  the  warm  atmosp.here  ol;> 
troubled   domesticity  to   its   proper   level   of  a': 
predomin'intlv   im^portant  human  affair."

Cotswold  Characters 

By  John  Drinkwoter 
These  character  sketches  have,  of  course,? 
brought  Mr.  Drinkwater  into  comparison  wit% 
Thomas  Hardy,  and  it  is  a  sterling  tribute  toV 
the  ability  of  the  author  of  "Abraham  Lin- 
coln" that  he  has  stood  the  test  so  well.  "ThC: 
Cotswold  yeoman,"  he  writes  in  a  foreword,; 
"is  as  unoriginal  and  as  new  and  vital  as  an 
oak  tree  or  a  starry  night."  The  opportunity 
to  study  him  at  first  hand  came  when  the  poet, 
on  a  brief  vacation,  rented  a  cottage  in  the 
beautiful  Cotswold  countrv.  The  illustrations

The  Season's  Output 

HIS  issue  of  the  Publishers'  Weekly 
is  the  Summer  Reading  number,  a  special 
issue  which  has  been  an  important  feature 
for  many  years.  As  with  the  Christmas  Book- 
hhelf  in  November,  the  issue  is  given  up  to 
iescriptions  of  new  books,  written  from  the 
X)int  of  view  of  the  consumer. 
Beside  the  circulation  to  subscribers,  scores 
f  booksellers  buy  reprints  of  this  issue  with 
heir  own  imprint  to  be  used  in  stimulating 
he  summer  business.  The  pages  will  be  found 
0  contain  specially  prepared  descriptive  notes 
overing  about  two  hundred  leading  books,  and 
bout  as  many  more  are  given  briefer  listing. 
hese  notes  will  be  found  valuable  to  all  who 
andle  books  as  well  as  those  interested  as 
urchasers. 

Special  care  is  taken  in  making  the  selection 
f  titles  so  that  it  may  include  all  the  books 
lat  are  to  be  of  wide  interest  during  the  next 
iree  months.  The  selection  printed  is  made 
iter  gathering  the  opinions  of  many  book- 
llers  to  whom  were  sent  a  list  of  the  wh()le 
'•.ason's  publications  with  the  request  to  check 
le  titles  in  all  departments  which  they  believed 
ould  be  of  greatest  interest.  This  co-opera- 
on  from  booksellers  has  been  very  valuable  to 
e  editors  and  in  turn  makes  the  list  of  more 
xeptional  interest  to  the  trade.  Besides  the 
K)k  section,  there  has  been  added  this  year 
cse  special  supplementary  pages  which  will 
tt  be  included  in  the  reprinted  editions  of  the 
imber   and    in   which    it    is    intended   to   give 

Iggestions  for  the  development  of  summer  and 
cation  trade. 


The  Summer  SelUng  Campaign 

WHILE  the  material  and  posters  for  the 
bookshop  emphasis  on  books  as  gifts  is 
still  going  out,  the  C3ommittee  has 
turned  its  attention  to  getting  countrywide 
emphasis  on  the  place  of  books  in  vacation 
plans.  A  poster  in  five  colors  by  Mr.  Norstad, 
who  made  last  year's  successful  poster,  has 
been  printed  and  is  again  carrying  that  suc- 
cessful slogan,  "Take  Along  A  Book."  The 
poster    emphasizes    the    fact    that    children    as 


lOJo 

well  a.,  adults  find  pleasure  in  having  books 
included  in  the  plans,  or,  as  the  Boy  Scout 
campaign  is  stating  it,  "Where  Goes  the  Boy 
There  Goes  the  Book." 

The  Committee  is  also  urging  booksellers  to 
use  the  April  poster  "Back  to  Nature  Books" 
again  as  giving  a  supplementary  emphasis  on 
the  importance  of  books  about  nature  to  the 
other  emphasis  of  the  importance  of  books  as 
diversion.  The  Boy  Scouts  of  America  are 
also  supplying  reprints  of  their  interesting  page 
on  books  in  boys'  camps  which  dealers  can  use 
to  good  advantage  in  their  windows.  There 
is  also  to  be  a  striking  silhouette  by  Ethel 
Taylor  emphasizing  the  vacation  spirit.  All 
this  material  should  greatly  help  the  bookseller 
in  putting  the  subject  before  his  community. 

Entertaining  in  Summer 

MOST  people  at  their  summer  homes  or 
hotels  have  many  pleasant  responsibilities 
of  entertaining— entertaining  summer  neigh- 
!x)rs,  guests  at  the  same  hotel  or  the  friends 
of  the  children.  There  are  many  helpful 
books  that  have  been  published  on  these  sub- 
jects, books  that  will  help  plan  for  outdoor 
festivities,  indoor  or  piazza  games  or  pleasant 
diversions  for  the  young  people.  One  or  two 
books  of  this  kind  would  prove  a  boon  in  July 
and  August.  There  are  also  special  problems 
of  catering,  as  the  food  of  summer  needs  its 
own  special  touch.  Cook  books  with  salads 
and  special  summer  dainties  or  cooling  drinks 
should  be  part  of  the  suggestive  displays  in 
all  lx)okstores. 

Children  and  Out-of-Doors 

A  MOST  helpful  article  for  parents  on  the 
problems  of  summer  reading  for  children 
has  been  prepared  by  Leonore  St.  John  Power 
of  the  children's  lx)ok  room  of  the  New  York 
Public  Library  for  the  summer  number  of  the 
Children's  Royal,  which  has  just  gone  to  the 
magazine  counters.  Miss  Power  has  been 
regularly  supplying  articles  on  children's 
reading  for  this  attractive  quarterly  maga- 
zine which  reaches  a  very  large  group  of 
parents,  and  parents  who  are  anxious  to 
think  carefully  of  their  children's   interest. 

This  article  is  entitled  "Woodland  Trails, 
Green  Fields,  Blue  Skies,"  and  emphasizes 
the  inborn  love  of  nature  which  is  in  every 
child  and  how  each  different  age  finds  what 
it  needs  about  nature  and  animals  in  the 
attractive  books  that  are  available.  A  list  of 
about  fifty  books  is  supplied  grouped  under 
the  headings  "Outdoor  Stories,"  "Animals  of 
Field  and  Forest,"  "Field  and  Forest  But- 
"•'■^'-',    Birds,   Bees   and   Insects,"   "Flowers, 


The  Publishers'   Weekly 

Trees  and  Gardens,"  "Outdoor  Sports  and 
Pastimes,"  "Camping  and  Woodcraft,  and 
the  Stars." 

The  titles  have  brief  annotations,  and  the 
list  would  form  an  excellent  one  for  any 
bookseller  to  use  in  reaching  the  parent.  The 
fact  that  the  titles  have  been  selected  by  one 
of  Miiss  Power's  authoritative  position  wi 
make  the  suggestions  particularly  acceptable 
to  any  father  or  mother  and  will  make  sure 
that  they  are  enjoyed  by  the  children. 

In  Sight  of  Sea 

PERHAPS  it  might  be  argued  that  it  is 
when  the  sea  is  not  in  sight  that  the  im 
pulse  to  read  books  about  it  is  most  strong 
but  certain  it  is  that  booksellers  find  the  de 
mand  for  books  of  this  type  increasing  ii 
sii-mmer-time  both  from  those  who  go  down  t( 
the  sea  in  cottages  and  those  who  go  down  t( 
the  sea  in  ships. 

Not  only  are  people  on  their  vacation  likel 
to  add  a  sea  book  or  two  to  their  collectioi 
when  they  pack  up,  but  friends  who  are  giviuj 
books  would  look  upon  a  selection  from  th 
best  books  of  the  sea  as  one  of  the  most  ap 
propriate  of  gifts  to  be  sent  by  mail  or  carrie 
along  for  the  week-end  trip.  A  list  that  shoul 
be  of  help  to  the  bookseller  in  )preparing  sue 
suggested  displays  is  the  one  that  was  printe 
two  years  ago  as  the  outcome  of  a  votin 
contest  managed  by  the  American  Library  Ai 

sociation  at  the  time  of  the  Merchant  Marie 

exhibit.      Over   250   titles    were    suggested    fc 
what  was  called  the  "Deep  Sea  Bookshelf"  c

Everyone  Is  Interested  In  Vacation  Books 


1611 


THE  bookseller  who  has  found  his  full 
place  in  the  life  of  his  city  is  continuously 
conscious  of  the  many  forces  around  him 

helping  to  put  books  into  circulation  at  all  times 

of  the  year.     It  may  ibe  that  he  has  thought  of 

summer  as  a  time  when  all  these   forces  took 

a  rest  and   that  no  voluntary  book  promotion 

was    in    the   air   when 

vacations    began.      As 

he    checks   up    on    the 

situation,  however,  he 

win  begin  to  find  that 

there    are    many 

agencies    which    are 

nterested  to  see  that 

3  o  o  k  s     have     their 

)roper   place   in    sum- 

Tier  plans. 
Many    of    these 

igencies  already  have 

)  o  o  k     emphasis      in 

nind,  and  many  might 

le   persuaded   to   give 

nore  attention  to  this 

f   the   subject   were 

•rought  to  their  atten- 

ion  by  the  bookseller. 

Perhaps  the  Y.  M.  C. 

L.  and  the  Y.  W.  C. 

^.,  in  the  bookseller's 

ity,  have  not  planned 
3  include  books  in 
h  e  preparation  for 
leir  summer  camps,  and  the  directors  would 
i  interested  to  receive  such  a  suggestion.  The 
Dokseller  might  even  find  some  generous 
tizen  who  would  like  to  make  a  present  of 
)oks  for  such  camp  use. 

There  are  in  every  city  groups  who  manage 
esh  air  homes  and  vacation  places  where 
)oks  would  not  only  be  a  great  boon  to  the 
lildren  but  indirectly  a  great  boon  to  the 
anagement  in  that  reading  would  serve  to 
;ep  the  children  occupied  during  many  of  the 
mmer  hours  when  there  has  been  enough  of 
ay  and  tramping.  For  such  a  cause  it  ought 
be  the  bookseller's  business  to  find  a  donor 
even  a  club  or  individual  to  see  that  books 
e  available  when  they  are  so  supremely  use- 
1.  They  would  be  in  the  same  way  valuable 
a  city  hospital,  where  during  the  warm 
jather  the  hours  hang  heavily  and  children 
ow  !K)red  and  restless. 


BODKS 


Schools  give  serious  attention  to  the  sum- 
mer reading  of  children.  In  many  cases 
perhaps  the  teachers  have  not  made  as  com- 
plete plans  for  reading  suggestions  as  might 
be  possible  to  arrange,  and  the  bookseller  might 
help  by  printing  lists  to  be  distributed  in  the 
schools,  lists  prepared  either  by  the  teacher  or 
by  the  librarian.  Lists 
given  out  in  school- 
rooms are  not  looked 
on  today  merely  as 
extending  w  i  n  t  e  r's 
lessons  into  other 
months  but  as  a  guid- 
ance to  the  diversional 
reading  of  the  child 
with  the  realization 
that  his  mental  growth 
during  the  summer 
can  be  an  important 
part  of  the  educa- 
tional program  of  the 
year. 

The  public  libraries 
are  always  interested 
in  seeing  that  books 
get  their  place  in  the 
community's  plans  for 
any  time  of  the  year, 
and  many  libraries 
make  special  prepara- 
tions to  serve  their 
communities  during 
the  vacation  period  by  extending  the  lending 
privileges,  by  helping  people  with  vacation 
reading  programs,  by  suggesting  books  on 
various  parts  of  the  country  or  by  making  up 
children's  lists  to  be  distributed  in  the  schools. 
No  agency  in  the  community  will  be  more 
alert  to  the  possibilities  of  the  book  than  the 
Boy  Scout  organization,  and  the  bookseller 
should  have  contact  with  the  Scout  executive 
and  know  as  many  of  the  Scout  leaders  as 
posible.  The  Boy  Scouts  of  America  are 
standing  actively  for  vacation  reading,  and  are 
making  especially  energetic  efforts  to  give  a 
stimulus  to  this  subject  this  year,  as  is 
described  in  another  column.  With  all  these 
and  other  channels  serving  to  increase  the 
always  natural  summer  tendency  for  reading, 
the  bookseller  who  looks  upon  June  as  a  time 
to  prepare  the  worst  instead  of  for  real  selling 
is  wasting  golden  opportunities.

Window  Displays  in  the  Hot  Weather 

By^Ernest  A.  Dench 


SUMMER  is  not  a  time  when  people  give 
up  reading  for  outdoor  recreations ;  some 
of  the  slump  in  book  sales  is  due  to  the 
retailer's  tardiness  in  making  use  ot  timely 
salesmanship  suggestions.  A  great  deal  of 
reading  is  done  in  the  summer  time,  especially 
l>y  people  on  vacations  and  week-end  trips.  If 
the  I)ookseller  can  get  these  people  into  his 
store  before  they  leave  home  for  their  summer 
vacations  he  will  be  pleased  at  the  number  of 
sales  he  can  make. 

Some  ideas  for  window  displays  and  news- 
paper advertisements  are  given  below  : 

The  Book  Bon  Voyage 

There  is  that  long  train  or  steamer  ride  that 
is  tiresome  to  most  folks.  Many  people  like  to 
surprise  their  parting  friends  or  relatives  with 
a  bon  voyage  basket.  A  Maine  bookseller 
offered  a  combination  basket  of  flowers,  the 
latest  novel  and  three  current  issues  of  popular 
magazines.  The  hasket  was  displayed  at  the 
front  center,  backed  up  by  the  following  card  : 

"You'll  make  yourself  strong  with 

YOUR  FRIENDS  IF  YOU  GIVE  THEM  A  BoN 

Voyage  Package.'' 

The  window,  draped  in  orange  and  white, 
also  contained  prominent  exhibits  of  the  latest 
books  and  magazines. 

Brentano's  is  taking  continuous  space  in  the 
local  papers  to  offer  Bon  Voyage  parcels  of 
books  at  $5.00,  $10.00  and  $15.00  apiece,  and 
tbe  same  idea  could  be  applied  to  any  book- 
seller's window  display. 

Getting  Advance  Orders  for  New  Fiction 
Davis   and    Banister,   of    Worcester,   tried   a 
way  of  getting  advance  orders  for  August  pub- 
lications  for   a  new   fiction   work.     I^st  July 
for   instance,   they   displayed  one  of  the  early 
I  all  novels  on  a  card  at  the.  rear  of  the  window. 
"This  book  will  be  published  August  17. 
Place  your  order   now   and   we   will 
deliver  on  day  of  publication." 
An  Appeal  to  Summer  Students 

Harvard  University  Bookstore  of  Cambridge 
goes  after  the  summer  student  trade  with 
u nidow  cards: 

"Summer    Sch(X)l    Students— A    Book 
Store  Since  1847. 

We  have  the  books  you  want  and  we 
want  to  serve  you." 

Summer  Literary  Meals 
The    Edward    P.    Judd    Co.,    New    Haven. 
Lonn.,  put  across  a  new  idea  in  a  summer  book 
display.     A  card  at  the  center  boldy  read : 

"Summer  Book  Suggestions  for 
T.iTERARY  Meals." 
Menu  i  :

Each  book  "menu  '  was  spread  out  separately 

on  the  floor. 
The    menus     were    arranged    according    to 

various    tastes,    and    there    were    "menus"    for 

the  young  as  well  as  the  olu. 

Pushing  Outdoor  Books 

Books  on   outdoor   subjects   were   offered 
a    newspaper    announcement    by    John 
amaker's.  New  York.    The  copy  ran: 

"Books  for  Out  of  Doors 
Vivid  and  expressive — volumes  inspired 

BY  BIRDS^  flowers,  BEES,  CAMPING,  FISHING, 

and    the    thousand    and   one    subjects

Books    specializing   on    a    particular 

PHASE  of  outdoor  LIFE;    OR   THOSE  ON  OUT- 
DOORS  IN   GENERAL." 

Using  the  Packing  Cases 

McDevitt-Wilson's,  Inc.,  New  York  City 
had  a  display  in  which  the  books  were  showr 
in  their  original  packing  cases.  Each  case  was 
open  at  the  side,  exposing  the  books  to  view 
with  two  copies  of  the  books  displayed  on  the 
top  of  each  case.  The  exhibit  served  to  show 
that  the  books  were  selling  in  large  quantities 

The  Restless  Sex 

Argersinger's,  Gloversville,  N.  Y.,  tied  up 
fiction  display  with  the  local  presentation  of 
photoplay  entitled  "The  Restless  Sex."  Th( 
window  was  arranged  as  a  typical  living  room 
with  a  wax  figure  of  a  woman  seated  on  < 
couch,  holding  a  popular  novel  in  her  hand 
Another  woman,  standing  nearby,  was  ap- 
parently asking  her  friend's  impression  of  th« 
book.    A  card  at  the  side  announced  that — 

"Our  Books   will  calm  the  Restless  j 

Sex."  j 

Copies  of  latest  novels  were  scattered  abouj 

the  floor,  along  with  scenes  from  the  film.     \ 

Featuring  Roosevelt's  Books  f 

The  Greenman  Book  Store,  Kansas  Cityjj 
Mo.,_  featured  Theodore  Roosevelt's  books  ii 
a  window  display.  The  display  had  a  ver.4 
cooling  atmosphere,  especially  on  a  warm  sum 
mer  day.  The  painted  background  depicte( 
Mount  McKinley,  surrounded  at  the  lowei 
heights  by  fir  trees,  with  snow  covering  th 
mountain  slopes.     A  sign  at  the  top  rear  read: 

"From  Greenland's  Icy  Mountains  to 
Mt.  McKinley." 
Down  in  front  was  the  following  sign : 

"The  Teddy  Roosevelt  books  can  never 

BE    snowed   under."

Take  a  Book  to  Camp 

ij      Boy  Scout  Organization  Backs  a  Program  of  Vacation  Reading 


"^  '      WOLF  PATROL  i  • ; 


A  SPLENDID  piece  of  reading  promotion, 
"»•  such  as  always  characterizes  any  effort 
lanned  by  Franklin  K.  Mathiews,  is  a  full 
age  book  display  and  design  in  the  Boys 
ife  magazine  of  July,  which  reaches  the 
lagazine  counters  on  the  15th  of  June.  Mr. 
lathiews  has  behind  him  the  enthusiasm  of 
le  whole  Boy  Scout  organization  in  trying 
give  dramatic  and  really  effective  publicity 
)  the  idea  of  the  place  of  books  in  the  com- 
letely  organized  boys'  camp.  This  idea  will 
e  carried  to  the  executives  in  all  cities  and 
'ill  reach  tens  of  thousands  of  boys  thru  the 
ages  of  their  magazine. 

Mr.  Mathiews  decided  that  to  get  the  reading 
lea  over  the  best  thing  to  do  was,  in- 
:ead  of  printing  a  list  in  tabulated  column, 
visualize  the  books  themselves  so  that  the 
oys  could  picture  themselves  as  picking  a 
Dok  from  a  shelf  and  enjoying  it  under  the 
ees.  This  effect  has  been  obtained  by  having 
1  artist  make  a  full  page  drawing,  picturing 
vo  boys  under  the  trees  reading,  and  in  a 
Jt-out  covering  two  columns  there  is  a  photo- 
raph  of  a  three-shelf  bookcase  made  of 
irch,  such  a  bookcase  as  might  well  be  and 


ought   to  be   in   the  headquarters    house    of   a 
fully  organized  camp. 

On  the  shelves  of  this  bookcase  has  been 
arranged  an  actual  collection  of  books  made 
by  Mr.  Mathiews  of  seventy-two  books.  These 
have  been  photographed  so  clearly  that  the 
name  of  each  book  is  readable,  and  in  this 
way  a  selected  list  is  visualized  to  the  boys 
or  to  their  parents  or  Scout  leader  in  a  way 
that  no  column  of  type  could  do.  Booksellers 
can  take  this  page  from  the  Boys  Life,  when 
it  arrives,  for  display  purposes.  Separate 
copies  with  its  splendid  heading,  "Take  A 
Book  To  Camp"  have  been  printed  up  by 
Boys  Life  and  have  been  mailed  to  all  the  book- 
sellers and  libraries  on  the  list  of  the  Year 
Round  Bookselling  Campaign  as  well  as  to 
600  Scout  leaders.  The  list  of  books  that  Mr. 
Mathiews  selected  for  a  camp  library  is  as 
follows : 

Handbook  for  Boys. 
Beaver  Stream  Camp  by    Dugmore. 
The  Boy's  Camp  Book  by  E.  Cave.

YEAR  ROUND  BOOKSELLING  PUN 


What  Are  the  Summer  Sales? 

TflE  I'^cderal  Reserve  Bank  recently  gathered 
and  published  figures  with  regard  to  the 
monthly  totals  of  sales  in  a  number  of  depart- 
ment stores,  and  these  percentages  were  printed 
in  graphic  form  by  the  Year  Round  Boofksell- 
ing  Committee  for  display  at  the  Booksellers' 
Convention.  While  such  figuires  are  based  on 
a  large  group  of  varied  departments  and  no  par- 
ticular section  will  follow  the  samq  tendencies, 
there  are  in  these  figures,  judging  by  book- 
trade  experience,  averages  indicated  that  are 
quite  comparable  to  what  booksellers  find. 

They  show  that  June  usually  supplies  one- 
twelfth  of  the  year's  business  and  that  July 
and  August  show  about  six  per  cent  of  the 
total.  Many  booksellers  allow  these  figures  of 
the  summer  months  to  drop  below  that  without 
a  struggle,  believing  that  people  cannot  be 
stimulated  at  that  time.  If,  however,  depart- 
ment stores  can  get  six  per  cent  return,  it 
would  be  a  good  thing  for  bookstores  to  set 
uip  a  mark  for  themselves  with  an  effort  to 
lift  the  sales  into  the  six  per  cent  or  better 
class. 


Bubble  Books  for  Camp 

DI'LALERS  in  musical  records  arc  already 
beginning  their  plans  to  get  the  campers' 
attention  for  portable  phonographs  or  for  new 
records  suitable  to  camp  life.  Booksellers  will 
find  that  people  who  thus  equip  themselves  will 
be  especially  interested  to  "take  along"  some 
'^Bubble  Books"  so  that  the  children's  interest 
be  not  neglected  for  the  long  summer  evenings. 
A  phonograiph  with  "Bubble  Books"  might  be 
as  good  display  now  as  at  Christmas  time.

OUT-OF-LKX)R     BOOKSFXLING     AS      PICTURED     BY     WALTER     JACK     DUNCAN 
FOR   AX    ARTICLE    IN    THE   "WOMAN's    HOME   COMPANION'^ 


Women  and  Bookselling 

AN  article  on  bookselling  as  a  profession 
tor  women  is  one  of  the  full  page  feat- 
ures in  the  Woman's  Home  Companion  for 
June  and  is  of  special  interest  to  the  book- 
trade,  as  Miss  Jenison's  work  as  one  of  the 
founders  of  the  Sunwise-Turn  Booikshop  and 
as  the  leading  spirit  in  the  Women's  National 
Book  Association  has  made  her  name  familiar 
thruout  the  profession. 

The  article  points  out  many  of  the  directions 
in  which  women  have  been  especially  success- 
ful in  the  book-trade:  in  the  large  depart- 
ment stores,  in  the  personal  1x)okshops,  in  chil- 
dren's bookshops  and  also  as  pioneers  in  cara- 
van accomplishments.  Figures  are  given  to 
show  what  bookstores  have  done  as  conducted 
I)y  women  and  pertinent  suggestions  as  to  how 
t(t  build  up  a  new  stop. 

The  Woman's  Home  Companion  has  printed 
extra  copies  of  this  article  for  distribution  by 
the  Year  Round  Bookselling  Committee  in  con- 
nection with  their  encouragement  to  new  book- 
shops. The  decorations  for  the  article  by 
Walter  Jack  Duncan  are  a  very  attractive 
feature  of  its  make-uip,  one  of  which  is  repro- 
duced herewith. 


Summer  and  the  Smallest 
Children 

WHEN  l)ooks  are  planned  for  the  fam- 
ily who  are  starting  on  a  summer  trip, 
the  needs  of  the  very  smallest  ones  should  not 
be  forgotten,  and  the  displays  of  the  book- 
sellers would  do  well  to  include  picture  books 
for  the  .smallest  tots  as  well  as  story  books  for 
those  who  can  read.  Not  only  will  the  pic- 
ture books  make  travel  easier  by  holding  the 
attention  of  the  restless  little  ones  to  whom 
the  scenery  means  but  little,  but  they  will 
also  help  to  provide  for  many  spare  hours 
during  ih^'  vacation  weeks,  as  little  ones  can 


use    the    same    picture    l>ook    over    and    ovc 
again. 

Picture  books,  too,  are  good  materic' 
for  the  booksalesman  to  bring  to  the  atten 
tion  of  customers  who  are  planning  to  spen 
week-ends  where  the  children  are,  as  book 
are  just  the  kind  of  thing  that  can  be  easil 
carried  in  the  week-end  satchel  and  brough 
out  to  receive  the  plaudits  of  a  friend's  smal 
children. 

The  Good  Teacher 

By  Henry  Van  Dyke 
The  Lord  is  my  teacher, 
I  shall  not  lose  the  way. 

He  leadeth  me  in  the  lowly  path  of  learning 
He  prepareth  a  lesson  for  me  every  day ; 
He    bringeth    me    to    the    clear    fountains    o 

instruction, 
Little  by  little  he  showeth  me  the  beauty  o 

truth. 
The   World   is    a    great    book    that    he    hat! 

written, 
He  turneth  the  leaves  for  me  slowly ; 
They  are  inscribed  with  images  and  letters, 
He    poureth    light    on    the    pictures    and    th 

words. 

He  taketh  me  by  the  hand  to  the  hill-top  o 

vision, 
And    my    soul    is    glad    when    I    perceive    hi 

meaning ; 
In  the  valley  also  he  walketh  beside  me, 
In  the  dark  places  he  whispereth  to  my  heart 

Even   tho  my   lesson   be  hard   it   is  not  hope 

less, 

For  the  Lord  is  patient  with  his  slow  scholar 
He  will  wait  awhile  for  my  weakness. 
And   help   me   to    read    the   truth    thru    tears

Through  the

By  MABEL  C.  HAWLEY 

The  story  starts  at  Thanksgiv-

Blossoms  had.  Then  they  went 
skating  and  coasting,  and  they 
built  a  wonderful  snowman,  and 
one  day  Bobby  and  his  chums 
visited  a  carpenter  shop  on  the  sly, 
and  that  night  the  shop  burnt 
down,  and  there  was  trouble  for 
the  boys.  But  in  the  end  all  came 
out  right,  and  with  their  Christ- 
mas toys  the  four  little  Blossoms 
had  more  fun  than  ever.

WHY     SOME    other    POOR     FISH     LEAVE       HOME 


Last  winter  Kenneth  L.  Roberts  was  sent 
to  Miami,  Florida,  to  see  how  Americans  play 
and  to  tell  the  readers  of  the  Saturday  Evening 
Post  about  it.  Evidently  he  believes  that  doing 
a  thing  is  the  best  way  of  learning  it.  The 
articles  are  to  appear  later  in  book  form.  Just 
now  his  "Why  Europe  Leaves  Home"  (Bobbs- 
Merrill),  de-propagandized  information  about 
the  migrations  of  European  people,  is  attract- 
ing attention. 


It  is  pretty  generally  known  that  Davenport, 
Iowa,  where  Floyd  Dell  reported  for  a  news- 
paper for  three  years,  is  the  Port  Royal  of  his 
widely  read  first  novel,  "Moon  Calf."  After 
that  he  went  to  Chicago,  and  he  became  literary 
editor  of  the  Chicago  Evening  Post  "Friday 
Literary  Review."  He  came  to  New  York  in 
1913  and  joined  the  staff  of  The  Masses  as 
literary  critic,  which  position  he  occupies  on 
its  successor.  The  Liberator.  The  accompany- 
ing photograph  was  taken  on  a  recent  visit  to 
the  old  home  town. 


TuK  ANCESTOR  of  whom  he  is  most  proud 
was  a  smuggler,  tho  his  great-grandfather  was 
a  duke,  says  Coulson  Cade,  author  of  "The 
Cornish  Penny"  (Stokes)  and  a  member  of  an 
ancient  Comish  family,     llr  s. . ms  to  have  in- 


herited his  own  adventurous  disposition  fron- 
the  smuggler,  for  from  an  early  age  he  has  lee 
a  roving  life.  >  He  is  still  under  thirty,^  but  has 
had  years  packed  with  adventure  in  man> 
corners  of  the  world.  In  191 5  Mr.  Cade  camt 
home  to  England  after  five  years  spent  ir 
Africa,  and  settled  down  to  write.  Later  he 
found  a  real  home  for  the  first  time  in  his  life 
in  a  fascinating  old  house  in  the  little  Oxford- 
shire vilhige  of  Bampton-in-the-Bush,  where  he 
now  lives. 


Walter  de  la  Mare,  who  publishes  two  new 
volumes  of  verse  this  season,  was  a  close  per- 
sonal friend  of  Rtipert  Brooke,  who  directec 
in  his  will  that  any  money  he  rnight  leave 
together  with  the  proceeds  from  his  books,  b( 
divided  among  his  three  friends,  Walter  dc  k 
Mare,  Abercrombie  Lascelles,  and  Wilfric 
Wilson  Gibson.  He  wrote :  "H  I  can  set  their 
free  to  any  extent  to  write  the  poetry  and  playi 
and  books  they  want  to,  my  death  will  bring 
more  gain  than  loss." 

When  Katherine  Grey,  author  of  "A  Littk 
Leaven"  (Lippincott),  was  seventeen,  she 
taught  school  in  a  remote  Kentucky  mountair 
district  and  it  was  there  she  laid  the  principal 
scenes  of  her  book.  After  various  experiences 
in  mining  regions  where  she  followed  her  hus- 
band, the  Grays  now  live  on  a  ranch  or  rathei 
an  orchard  in  the  great  San  Joaquin  Valley.

Marguerite  Wilkinson  is  not  only  one  of 
the  best  known  of  America's  women  poets,  the 
author  of  "Bluestone"  and  "New  Voices,"  but 
a  thoro  out-of-doors  person  as  well.  She  has 
dedicated  her  new  book, 
"The  Dingbat  of  Ar- 
cady"  (Macmillan),  to 
a  cousin,  "the  only 
other  vagabond  in  the 
family."  The  book  tells 
how  Mrs.  Wilkinson 
and  her  husband  floated 
on  singing  rivers  and 
blue  bays  in  "The  Ding- 
bat of  Arcady"  or  in 
"The  Royal  Dingbat," 
flat-bottomed  boats  that 
they  built  themselves. 
Mrs.  Wilkinson,  who 
contributes  our  intro- 
ductory article,  makes 
a  feehng  plea  to  "Take 
Along  a  Book." 

Tarkington's  career 
as  an  author  is  a  his- 
tory of  the  past  twenty 
years  in  American 
literature.  He  spends 
his  winters  in  India- 
napolis and  his  summers 
in  Maine.  Tho  inland 
born,  he  loves  the  sea 
and  has  collected  in  the 
library  of  his  Kennebunkport  home  the  models 
of  many  famous  old  ships.  Mr.  Tarkington's 
"Alice  Adams"  has  just  made  him  a  Pulitzer 
prize  winner  for  the  second  time. 

The  Author  of  "The  Laurentians"  (Cen- 
tury), T.  M.  Longstreth,  is  a  confirmed  open- 
air  man.  Once  he  was  a  school  teacher  doing 
travel  stunts  in  vacation  trips.  One  of  these 
trips  carried  him  to  the  Adirondacks,  and  he 
never  returned  to  his  job.  He  lives  there  the 
entire  year  except  when  he  goes  off  to  do  a 
book.  Last  year  when  he  went  to  Canada  for 
the  material  of 
"The  Lauren- 
t  i  a  n  s,"  he  lived 
for  some  time 
with  the  Chap- 
delaine  family  of 
Louis  Hemon's 
famous  "Maria 
r^iapdelaine."

''A  truly  wonderful  Picture  Book'' 

THE  GREAT  WHITE  SOUTH 

By  Herbert  G.  Ponting,  F.R.G.S. 

Official  photographer  voith  the  Scott  Polar  Expedition^  1910-13.  - 

In  the  history  of  the  Antarctic  there  is  no  event  mor©  inspiring  than 

Captain  Scott's  last  tragic  dash  for  the  Pole.    Mr.  Ponting,  who  was 

an  important  member  of  the  expedition,  gives  a  spirited  account  of  its 

experiences.    His  book  is  more  than  a  story  of  exploration,  however. 

It  abounds  in  fascinating  descriptions  of  the  natural  wonders  of  the 

Antarctic;  in  accounts  of  the  lives  and  habits  of  the  seals,  penguins,  gulls  and  other  creatures 

indigenous  to  the  Far  South;  and  in  the  story  of  his>  own  adventures  while  photographing 

them.    Pictorially,  his  book  is  unique ;  as  a  picture  book  alone  it  is  a  valuable  addition  to 

any  library. 

"A  truly  wonderful  picture  book,"  says  The  London  Timels  of  it. 

"All  who  can  buy,  beg  or  borrow  it  will  rejoice  in  its  possession.  .  .  .     But  it  is  much 

more  than  a  picture  book.     It  deals  with  the  human  side  of  the  expedition  in  a  wayl  that 

was  scarcely  possible  with  other  books."    8vo.    With  175  illustrations.    $7.50  net

M.  Rostand's  novel  is  an  amazing  performance.  In  form  an  autobiographic  novel,  it  differs  essentially

decadent,  it  is  none  the  less  a  distinguished  and  notable  addition  to  the  literature  of  les  jeiines.     $2)  net.

East,  was  fated  to  discover.  How  he  discovered  it,  and  the  many  exciting  events  which  preceded  his 
discovery,  are  told  in  this  exciting  and  enjoyable  new  novel  by  the  author  of  "The  Single  Track."     $1.90.

CARMEN  ARiZA      ^'sSeIt.'I-m!'* 

The  most  powerful  novel  of  religious  and  political 
intrigue  ever  written.  Its  diverse  threads  run  from 
the  Vatican  to  the  trackless  jungle  of  South  America 
— from  the  Spanish  Main  to  Washington  and  New 
York.  Carmen  Ariza  and  Thou  Israel  afford  the  final 
answer  to  the  religious  question  and  are  the  only 
novels  that  have  handled  it  in  a  strictly  scientific 
way  and  worked  it  out  to  a  demonstrable  solution.

THE  DIARY  OF  JEAN  EVARTS 

By  Charles  Francis  Stocking,    E.  M. 

In  this  beautifully  written  treatise,  composed  by  the 
author  in  the  sun-kissed  hills  oif  California,  a  young 
girl  in  the  last  stages  of  tuberculosis,  hopeless  of 
human  aid,  and  denouncing  God  and  man-made  creeds, 
receives  a  new  truth — and  with  it  a  new  sense  of  life. 
How  this  was  accomplished  is  the  vital  message  which 
this  book  has  carried  around  the  world  to  thousands 
of  helpless,  discouraged  sin-weary  sufferers  becoming 
truly  a  "light  shining  in  dark  places."

THE  PLACE  OF  JESUS  IN  THE  LIFE  OF  TO-DAY 

HENRY  KINGMAN 
Author  of  "Building  on  Rock" 

A  beautifully  written  book.  Discusses  the  teaching  of  Jesus  and  His 
place  in  modern  thought  and  life  with  a  range  and  freedom  unem- 
barrassed by  traditional  limitations.  It  is  a  re-appraisal  of  Jesus  for  the 
men  and  the  women  of  this  generation — ^not  from  the  standpoint  of  the 
Church  or  even  of  the  New  Testament,  but  of  a  modern  thinker.

An  unusual  question  is  herein  propounded  with  a  sureness  of  vision  that 
will  hold  the  reader's  attention  to  the  last  page.  The  author  goes  to 
philosophy  and  psychology  for  proofs  of  his  arguments  and  at  the  same 
time  keeps  away  from  too  much  technicality.  Paper,  $0.25

Mystery  Stories  for  Boys 


By  Roy  J.  Snell 


Roy  J.  SneU,  author  of  the  Mystery  Stories  For  Boys  and 
the  Adventure  Stories  for  Girls,  was  graduated  from  college 
in  1906.  Since  that  time  he  has  had  three  years  of  post-gradu- 
ate work— one  year  at  Harvard  and  two  at  the  University  of 
Chicago.  His  ideas  about  books  for  boys  and  girls  are  backed 
by  these  years  of  study  and  his  stories  throb  with  action  and 
adventure.     There  are  five  of  the  Mystery  Stories  for  Boys.

Adventure  Stories  lor  Girls 

By  Roy  J.  Snell 

There  used  to  be  a  theory  that  girls'  books  "had  to  be 
d'fferent."  Girls  themselves  have  exploded  that  theory  a 
thousand  times  by  preferring  boys'  adventure  stories  to  the 
weakened-down  variety  "for  girls."  These  stories  have  not 
been  "weakened  down."  They  are  clean,  wholesome  and 
worth  while,  but  deal  with  the  real  interests  of  the  girl  of 
today.  Adventure,  mystery  and  the  big  outdoors  make  up 
the  action.    There  are  two  titles.

Tramping  With  a 
Poet  in  the  Rockies 

BY    STEPHEN    GRAHAM 


VACHEL  LINDSAY  is  the  poet  with  whom  STEPHEN 
GRAHAM  took  this  remarkable  tramp  through  out-of- 
the-way  parts  of  the  Rockies.  The  record  of  it,  told  with 
all  the  happy  ability  which  distinguishes  the  Graham 
books,  makes  the  most  delightful  reading. 

Among  the  points  that  make  this  volume  remarkable  are 

The  combination  of  the  author's  name  with  that  of  Vachel 
Lindsay,  a  poet  who  is  very  widely  known. 

The  interesting  conversations  between  the  two  men ;  both 
of  them  frankly  speaking  of  subjects  of  universal  interest. 

The  wonderful  country  depicted,  and  the  camping,  out-of- 
doors  atmosphere  of  every  page. 

The  popularity   of  Stephen   Graham's  books,   including 

"Europe-Whither  Bound." 

The  humor  that  is  continually  cropping  up. 

The  entertaining  drawings  by  Vernon  Hill,  which  add  so 
much  to  the  book's  appeal. 

The  price  of  the  book — $2.00  net.

Who  use 

ALCHEMIC  GOLD? 

Progressive  publishers  who  desire  gold  effects  on 
their  book  covers  at  a  great  saving,  without  sac- 
rificing quality. 

Alchemic  Gold  is  a  liquid  substitute  for  genuine  gold  or 
imitation  gold  leaf  that  will  not  tarnish,  rub  nor  lose  its 
lustre.  Waste  in  production  is  eliminated,  as  sizing,  laying 
on  and  cleaning  off  are  unnecessary.  Alchemic  Gold  stamped 
on  covers  with  elaborate  decorative  designs  will  cost  but 
little  more  than  colored  ink.  Patterned  cloth  covers  require 
no  blanking  out  when  stamped  with  Alchemic  Gold  and  the 
covers  are  dry  and  ready  for  immediate  handling  as  soon 
as  the  impression  is  struck.

Primary  Questions  in  Bookselling 

1 

As  to  Catalogs 

Q.  How  does  a  bookseller  find  the  price  of  a  book  not  in  stock 
when  his  customer  asks  for  it  ? 

A.  He  hunts  up  the  title  in  the  U.  S.  Catalog  or  Book  Index,  gets 
the  name  of  the  publisher  and  invariably  turns  to  the  TRADE  LIST 
ANNUAL  for  the  publishers'  correct  price,  as  practically  all  old  prices 
have  been  changed. 

Q.  If  he  does  not  find  the  catalog  he  wants  in  the  TRADE  LIST 
AN>JUAL  what  does  he  do  ? 

A,     He  exclaims with  justifiable  annoyance  and  you  can't  blame 

him. 

Q.  What  generally  happens  if  he  cannot  assure  the  customer  of  the 
cost  of  the  book'  wanted  ? 

A.  His  customer  thinks  he  is  stupid  not  to  know;  she  goes  elsewhere 
and  he  loses  a  sale  and  probably  a  patron. 

Q.  How  does  the  publisher  explain  the  absence  of  his  list  in  a 
reference  book  so  essential. 

A.  The  very  few  absentees  either  fail  to  print  their  catalogs  in  time 
for  insertion,  or  they  are  seized  with  a  misguided  fit  of  economy  that 
reacts  to  tlteir  disadvantage. 

Q.     How  can  these  omissions  be  remedied, 

A.  By  the  bookseller  protesting  the  omission  every  time  it  hurts 
him, 

Q.  Will  this  year's  TRADE  LIST  ANNUAL  contain  the  very 
few  lists  missing  in  last  year's. 

A.  We  certainly  hope  so,  but  it  is  entirely  up  to  the  publisher  to 
decide.

THE  AMERICAN  BOOK  TRADE  JOURNAL 

Founded  by  F.  Leypoldt 

JUNE  3,  1922 

"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." — Bac»n. 


"Made  In  — " 

FROM  time  to  time  in  years  past  some  too 
alert  official  in  the  Treasury  Department 
has  discovered  that  the  phrase  "Made  in 
England"  or  other  country,  which  the  letter 
of  the  law  advises  should  appear  on  all  im- 
ported goods,  is  not  to  be  found  in  these  words 
on  books  imported  from  abroad.  Consequently 
a  ruling  has  been  placed  in  Treasury  decisions 
that  this  must  be  done.  The  next  step  has 
been  that  book  publishers  have  promptly 
pointed  out  to  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury 
that  this  is  a  needless  and  meticulous  interpreta- 
tion of  the  law  and  that  the  imprint  of  the 
publisher,  which  usually  includes  the  city  of 
publication  or  the  other  markings  usual  in 
books,  gives  to  any  reasonably  intelligent  and 
well  informed  official,  as  custom  examiners  are 
naturally  supposed  to  be,  sufficient  evidence 
that  the  London  book  emanates  from  England 
or  the  Leipzig  book  from  Germany.  The  ap- 
plication of  the  letter  of  the  law  to  books 
would  be  a  formality  as  absurd  as  it  is  un- 
necessary, and  we  trust  that  when  the  matter 
is  brought  to  the  attention  of  the  Secretary  of 
the  Treasury,  as  is  now  being  done,  the  usual 
sequence  may  be  concluded  by  his  withdrawal 
of  the  order. 

The  case  is  fully  and  clearly  stated  by  Mr. 
Macrae  in  the  letter  to  the  Secretary  of  the 
Treasury  printed  in  another  column,  to  which 
little  can  be  added.  It  may  be  observed,  how- 
ever, that  the  difficulty  could  not  be  removed 
even  by  giving  several  months'  latitude  before 
the  order  is  actually  enforced.  Books  which 
could  not  be  thus  imprinted,  e.g.,  books  of 
years  ago,  would  have  to  be  disfigured  by  a 
stamp  and  even  a  first  folio  of  Shakespeare, 
for  which  an  American  purchaser  has  recently 
paid  about  $38,000,  would  thus  have  to  be  dis- 
figured if  a  literal  observance  of  the  law  is  in- 
sisted upon.  Common  sense  is,  after  all,  the 
best  interpreter  of  any  law,  and  a  slight  applica- 


tion of  common  sense  in  this  matter  will  re- 
move a  difficulty  which  might  otherwise  be 
serious  to  all  interested  in  books  from  abroad. 
As  Mr.  Macrae  has  pointed  out,  there  is  a 
possible  international  complication  in  this  reg- 
ulation which  should  certainly  be  avoided. 
Great  Britain,  Canada  and  Australia  put  for- 
ward such  proposals  but  promptly  withdrew 
them  when  the  explanation  now  made  to  our 
own  Treasury  was  put  before  them.  Our  rela- 
tions in  this  whole  matter  of  exports  to  Can- 
ada have  been  istrained  by  the  manufacturing 
provision  in  our  Copyright  Law,  which  Canada 
proposed  to  copy,  and  to  add  unnecessary  com- 
plications now  would  be  to  suggest  to  Cana- 
dian legislators  that  what  is  sauce  for  the 
goose  is  sauce  for  the  gander.  We  need  to 
have  these  matters  made  right  at  home — other- 
wise we  cannot  ask  other  countries  to  be  fair 
and  friendly  to  us. 

Commerce  and  Conscience 

SPEAKING  on  May  i8th  before  the  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  of  the  United  States, 
President  Harding  injected  into  his  talk  on 
business  conditions  and  business  progress  a 
timely  admonition  on  business  honesty: 

"I  wish  to  speak"  he  said  ''for  a  commerce 
with  a  conscience.  If  I  were  to  bring  only  one 
admonition  to  you,  I  would  like  to  charge  you 
men  and  women  of  influence  and.  responsibility 
with  the  task  of  eliminating  from  American 
commerce  those  who  do  not  have  a  conscience, 
whose  conscienceless  practices  bring  that  criti- 
cism which  attends  our  American  activity. 

"If  the  commerce  of  America  were  always 
conscientious,  there  never  would  be  a  single 
excuse  for  government  in  American  business. 
There  is  not  an  agency  in  American  life  that 
can  so  quickly  put  an  end  to  abuses  and  of- 
fences in  American  commerce  as  those  who  are 
conspicuous  in  the  leadership  of  that  com- 
merce." 

Coming  as  this  speech  does  at  the  time  when 
the  book-trade  has  been  seriously  cons'idering 
whether  government  legislation  can  eliminate 
the  most  serious  of  the  abuses  that  threatens 
progress  in  book  distribution,  that  of  price- 
cutting,  the  point  made  strikes  firmly  home. 
After  all  the  discussion  of  methods  for  elimin- 
ating those  things  which  all  business  leaders 
and  economists  label  as  evil  practice,  the  price- 
cutting  habit  on  standard  goods,  there  is 
brought  home  very  strongly  the  fact  that  what 
is  needed  is  more  conscience  in  business,  more 


i6i8 

business  virtue  before  more  business  regulation. 
The  reason  that  price-cutting  today  in  the  book 
field,  troublesome  as  it  is,  is  not  the  country- 
wide menace  that  it  was  twenty  years  ago  is 
that  the  ethical  standards  of  large  merchants 
have  been  raised.  The  standards  of  trade 
ethics  in  all  directions  have  improved  and  in  no 
field  more  than  in  retail  advertising.  Many 
department  stores,  as  is  well-known,  will  not 
use  any  comparative  figures  in  their  signs  or 
advertising.  Thusi  they  have  their  goods  con- 
sidered on  their  merits  and  eliminate  any  chance 
of  comparisons  being  made  with  figures  being 
proclaimed  by  dealers  who  would  be  less 
scrupulous  in  naming  the  list  prices.  Less 
conscientious  merchants,  finding  that  there  is 
public  suspicion  about  the  reality  of  the  named 
prices,  turns  to  standardized  goods  of  which 
the  price  is  known  to  endeavor  to  demonstrate 
to  the  public  that  the  discounts  shown  in  this 
field  of  known  commodities  apply  as  much 
to  other  departments.  It  is  expected  that  the 
public,  seeing  books  at  a  discount,  will  reason 
that  the  odd  penny  prices  on  ash  barrels,  French 
watches  or  silk  waists  must  be  equally  low.  Just 
how  much  water  must  flow  onto  the  field  before 
better  standards  apply  to  all  the  dealers  hand- 
ling books  cannot  'be  easily  estimated,  but  the 
opinion  of  the  book-trade  on  such  practice  was 
pretty  strongly  expressed  at  Washington  and 
is  now  again  expressed  in  Washington  by  the 
President  himself. 

The  same  appeal  to  more  conscience  in  busi- 
ness would  straighten  out  many  of  the  difficul- 
ties in  connection  with  censorship.  Self -cen- 
sorship should  be  the  answer.  A  little  soul- 
searching  on  the  part  of  those  who  publish 
or  those  who  retail  books  might  eliminate  per- 
manently any  suggestion  from  the  body  politic 
that  there  is  need  of  an  official  censor  on  books, 
I  f  a  publisher  is  in  doubt  about  a  book,  he  had 
better  not  publish  it.  If  a  printer  thinks  a 
book  is  being  manufactured  for  booklegging 
sale,  he  had  better  get  other  printing  jobs  for 
Iris  establishment.  If  the  retail  bookseller  is 
liandling  any  type  of  book  that  he  feels  him- 
self in  doubt  about,  he  need  not  attempt  to  re- 
form the  whole  trade,  but  can  take  issue  with 
his  own  practice  and  leave  that  sort  of  mer- 
chandising behind  him. 

The  President's  admonition  is  to  the  point 
in  these  and  in  many  other  fields,  and,  as  he 
said,  the  responstbility  is  up  to  the  trade. 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 
Record  Price  for  Shakespeare 

THE  Rosenbach  Company  has  bought  at 
the  London  auction  sale  the  Daniel  copy 
of  the  first  folio  of  Shakespeare  at  £3,600. 
This  is  considered  one  of  the  most  perfect 
copies  in  existence,  and,  when  Baroness  Bur- 
dett^Coutts  bought  it  at  the  Daniel  sale  in 
1864  for  $3,500,  the  prediction  was  made  by  a 
writer  of  that  day  that  it  would  eventually 
bring  ten   times   that  amount. 

As  a  recent  cable  from  Paris  announced  that 
a  single  British  Guiana  stamp  had  brought 
$32,000,  it  would  still  seem  as  tho  the  book  rec- 
ords fell  behind  some  other  fields  in  obtaining 
top  prices.  A  whole  set  of  the  four  folios  sold 
in  New  York  last  month  for  less  than  $20,000. 
The  iprice  of  this  special  perfect  copy  of  the 
folio  restores  self-respect  to  the  trade  again 
and  puts  this  book  second  only  to  the  Guten- 
berg Bible,  which  brought  $50,000  when  pur- 
chased a  few  years  ago  in  London  for  Henry 
E.  Huntington. 

The  Rosenbach  purchase  was  made  by  Philip 
Rosenbach,  who  went  to  England  to  represent 
the  firm;  and  the  home  office  announces  that 
the  book  was  not  purchased  on  order  but  is 
for  stock  and  will  be  for  sale  when  brought  to 
this  country. 

More  Dictators 

A  PLAN  to  have  an  organization  leader 
for  the  stage  of  America  has  been  sug- 
gested by  the  Producing  Managers'  As- 
sociation; and  Bernard  M.  Baruch,  formerly 
Chairman  of  the  War  Industries  Board,  has 
been  asked  to  consider  taking  such  an  office 
and  is  seriously  considering  it.  The  scope  of 
the  director's  powers  has  not  as  yet  been  de- 
fined. Up  to  date  this  gives  the  movies  a  j 
leader  in  Will  Hays,  baseball  in  Judge  Landis, 
the  field  of  building  in  Franklin  D.  Roosevelt. 
The  stage  also  has  recently  conceived  the  ] 
unique  plan  of  choosing  300  citizens  and  from 
these  selecting  panels  which  will  discriminate 
between  proper  and  improper  plays.  Book 
publishing  and  distribution  has  its  problems 
and  difficulties,  but  as  yet  they  do  not  seem 
to  be  of  such  an  insuperable  character  as  to 
demand  that  the  lead  of  the  other  fields  should 
be  followed,  but  who  can  tell  when  it  may  be 
needed !

At  the  Sign  of  the  Bookseller 

By  Albert  R.  Crone 

Store  Insignia  and  Trade  Marks  Identify  Your  Business. 


LETTERHEADS,  billheads,  statement 
forms,  envelopes — all  these  are  direct-by- 
mail  advertising  media  of  importance. 
They  perform  a  routine  duty — |yet  they  accom- 
plish an  auxiliary  service  of  ever  increasing 
weight.  They  are  the  contact  points  in  the 
wiring  system  of  business  and  the  importance 
of  their  brightness  is  essential  to  a  'Steady  cur- 
rent. Booksellers  should  study  well  these  ad- 
vertising media  that  reach  the  consumer. 

"Get  your  trade-mark  on  your  letterhead," 
advises  an  expert  sales  organization.  It  iden- 
tifies your  stationery  and  your  business.  It 
distinguishes  it  from  that  of  your  competitor. 
There  is  always  room  for  the  trade-mark  on 
the  letterhead.  Care  must  be  shown  in  securing 
balance  of  the  whole  head.  Your  trade-mark, 
your  store  insignia  when  used  in  your  display 
advertising  and  on  your  imprint  booklists,  gains 
ill  emphasis  and  importance  with  every  addi- 
tional use. 

Attract  Customers  to  Your  Store 

Booksellers  should  find  it  of  especial  im- 
portance in  their  competition  with  the  butcher, 
the  baker  and  the  candlestick  maker  and  all 
other  retailers  who  vie  with  them  for  the  time 
and  money  of  the  people  of  the  community  to 
dress  their  correspondence  and  business  forms 
in  attractive  design.  It  is  time  to  say  goodbye 
to  dingy  and  deadly  business  forms  in  the 
retail  book  business. 

Added  character  and  ignity  can  be  pre- 
sented in  all  retail  bookstore  advertising  that 
will  lift  bookselling  above  the  ordinary  hum- 
drum retailing.  It  is  being  done.  The  accom- 
panying illustrations  show  designs  and  ideas  of 
many  and  various  types  that  are  being  used  in 
:he  booktrade  to  add  character  and  dignity  and 
f)  identify  certain  retailers.  To  these  might 
^e  added  many  others — some  simply  unique 
;ypc  styles  or  hand-lettered  store  names. 

Have  You   an  Identity 

An  examination  of  these  samples  should  set 
he  mind  working  upon  your  individual 
roblems.  What  is  the  personality  of  your 
store  and  how  can  you  best  reflect  it?  There 
s  usually  some  way  to  put  that  business  per- 
onality  of  yours  across — some  pictorial  way. 
A^hat  is  the  speciality  of  your  shop?  Play  it 
,ip  in  design.  What  is  the  situation  of  your 
hop  against  some  geographical  background? 
I?here  is  some  way  to  present  and  capitalize  it. 


What  is  the  name  of  your  bookshop?  Per- 
haps it  can  be  pictured.  What  is  your  own 
name?  Say  it  with  pictures.  Put  it  in  mono- 
gram. You  sell  books?  Then  advertise  books 
in  your  advertising.  Attractive  designs  playing 
up  book  atmosphere  are  easily  obtainable  or 
can  be  designed  and  executed. 

Pick  up  your  letterhead  when  you  'look  at 
the  illustrations  that  accompany  this  article. 
Try  and  picture  types  of  trade-marks  or  in- 
signia on  your  stationery.  Imagine,  possibly, 
a  spot  of  color  in  the  whole.  Think  with  how 
much  greater  respect  and  satisfaction  the 
recipient  of  your  correspondence  might  ap- 
proach your  message. 

Examine  any  ordinary  billhead— or  letter- 
head. It  has  little  of  the  attractive  about  it. 
Place  alongside  of  it  one  that  carries  the  at- 
tractive design  that  characterizes  the  stationery 
of  the  Locust  Street  Bookshop,  to  take  but  one 
example.  You  will  appreciate  with  how  much 
cheerier  mien  and  with  what  readier  acqui- 
escence the  customer  billed  or  the  prospect 
whose  patronage  is  sought  responds.  Get  your 
trade-mark,  your  store  sign,  some  identifying 
mark  or  style  of  type  into  your  stationery  and 
into  your  advertising.  Put  color,  a  little  of  it, 
into  your  correspondence  forms.  It  will  pay. 
It  will  lift  your  business  above  the  usual.  It 
will  get  attention  where  inferior  material  fails. 
Think  over  your  morning  mail  and  note  with 
what  added  interest  you  picked  up  the  attrac- 
tively presented  letter  or  solicitation. 

Attractive   Presentation   Gets   Attention 

Take  up  one  of  the  small  advertisements 
you  ran  in  the  issues  of  your  local  paper.  Con- 
sider how  much  more  effective  some  design 
like  those  shown  might  have  made  the  attention- 
getting  value  of  your  advertisement.  Could  it 
not  have  been  more  closely  identified  with  you 
and  your  business  by  looking  like  your  letter- 
head? 

Any  artist  can  draw  to  your  instruction  or, 
given  your  problem,  can  design  a  character 
which  you  may  adopt  and  build  into  your  busi- 
ness. The  cost  of  these  drawings  varies,  but 
should  be  little.  The  engraver  makes  a  plate 
at  slight  cost.  Duplicates  of  sizes  suitable  to 
various  uses  can  be  made  and  can  be  printed 
at  no  greater  expense  than  your  regular 
printer's  charge.  Your  imprint  "copy"  to  pub- 
lishers who  send  you  literature  for  distribution 
could  easily  be  an  electro  of  your  store  in- 
signia.

EXAMPLES  OF  BOOKSTORE   SIGNS,  INSIGNIA  AND  TRADEMARKS  GATHERED  FROM   LETTERHEADS,  BILL-

The  Puhlis Iters'  Weekly 


Where  to  Put  Your  Trade-mark 

The  uses  to  which  the  store  insignia  or  trade- 
mark may  be  put  are  many.  All  letterheads, 
•billheads,  statement  forms  and  other  stationery 
that  reaches  customers  are  the  most  obvious. 
Imprinted  lists  and  leaflets,  either  those  pre- 
pared by  the  bookseller  or  those  prepared  for 
him  should  carry  the  same  identifying  mark. 
All  store  envelopes,  for  either  letters  or  im- 
printed advertising,  may  link  up  the  envelope 
and  the  contents  by  the  common  trade-mark. 
Display  advertising,  whenever  used,  carries  the 
trade-mark  with  added  attentive  value  and 
identifies  the  store  with  the  advertising,  and 
the  display  advertising  with  the  "direct-by- 
mail"  method.  Bookmarks  should  be  imprinted 
with  the  insignia.  Many  dealers  prepare  little 
stickers  of  their  trade-mark  and  paste  in  the 
back  cover  of  each  book  sold — or  wherever 
else  they  may  be  placed  without  disfiguring  the 
goods.  The  outside  of  a  bundle  or  package 
may  well  be  utilized. 

The  store  window  should  show  a  transparency 
of  the  store  insignia — similar  in  idea  to  those 
of  the  Rotary  Club,  the  Army  and  Navy  Stores 
Association,  the  "Take  Along  A  Book"  slogan. 
A  swinging  sign  above  the  store  front  is  an 
eflFective  and  distinctive  method  of  tying 
up  the  store  with  all  its  advertising.  In  some 
cases,  the  whole  store  front  may  be  constructed 
in  a  design  and  atmosphere  that  gives  the  ap- 
pearance of  the  trade-mark. 

The  steady,  consistent  year  round  attack  of 
the  recently  inaugurated  book  selling  progran; 
gives  evidence  of  the  value  of  posters  and 
planned  campaigns.  It  will  be  found  equally 
important  to  plan  your  individual  store  cam- 
paign tied  consistently  and  persistently  around 
a  distinct  unique  and  personal  representation, 
only  possible  by  the  adoption  and  use  of  a 
store  sign  or  insignia.  In  the  competition  of 
the  market  place  the  bookseller  wins  out  who 
attracts  trade.  Trade  is  drawn  or  repelled 
often  by  the  sheer  attractiveness  or  lack  of  it 
in  the  various  store  advertising  approaches. 

Prize  Novel  Competition 

A^  SPECIAL  competition  for  novels  by  young 
**'  writers  has  been  announced  by  Harper  & 
Brothers,  the  manuscripts  to  be  submitted  for 
publication  before  March  ist,  1923.  There 
will  be  an  outright  prize  of  $2,000  in  addition 
to  the  ordinary  terms  of  royalty.  The  author 
must  be  an  American  citizen  who  has  not  pub- 
lished a  novel  in  book  form  prior  to  August 
1st,  1914.  Only  unpublished  works  will  be 
considered.  Ifarf^cr's  Magazine  is  to  have  the 
right  to  publish  serially  on  terms  to  be  ar- 
ranged, but  this  right  may  be  waived.  No 
mant^'-rript  of  less  than   30,000  words  will  be 


considered,  and  full  novel  length  will  be  given 
preference.  A  very  competent  board  of  judges 
is  announced :  Jesse  Lynch  Williams,  President 
of  the  Authors'  League;  Henry  Seidel  Canby, 
Editor  of  the  Literary  Review;  Carl  Van 
Doren,  Literary  Editor  of  the  Nation. 

Pulitzer  Prize  Awards 

BOOTH  TARKINGTON  for  a  second  time 
has  received  the  Pulitzer  Prize  for  'the 
best  novel  of  the  year.  In  1918  it  was  awarded 
to  him  for  "The  Magnificent  Ambersons"  and 
this  year  for  "Alice  Adams,"  published  by 
Doubleday,  Page  &  Co.  The  awards  were 
made  public  by  Columbia  University  on  May 
22nd.  The  Pulitzer  Prize  is,  according  to  the 
wording  of  the  bequest,  "for  the  American 
novel  which  shall  best  present  the  wholesome 
atmosphere  of  American  life  and  the  highest 
standard  of  American  manners  and  manhood." 
The  members  of  the  jury  for  this  year  were 
Stuart  P.  Sherman,  Rev.  Samuel  McChord 
Crothers  and  Professor  Jefferson  B.  Fletcher. 
The  prize  is  $1,000. 

"Anna  Christie,"  by  Eugene  O'Neill,  won  a 
similar  prize  of  $1,000  "for  the  best  original 
American  play  performed  in  New  York  which 
shall  best  represent  the  educational  value  and 
power  of  the  stage  in  raising  the  standard  of 
good  morals,  good  taste  and  good  manners." 

This  is  the  second  time  that  an  O'Neill  play 
has  won  such  distinction.  "Beyond  the 
Horizon"  took  the  drama  prize  in  19 19. 

"The  Founding  of  New  England,"  by  James 
Truslow  Adams  (Atlantic  Monthly  Company), 
was  awarded  a  prize  of  $2,000  "for  the  best 
work  on  the  history  of  the  United  States." 

"A  Daughter  of  the  Middle  Border,"  by 
Hamlin  Garland  (Macmillan  Company),  re- 
ceived the  $1,000  prize  "for  the  best  American 
biography  teaching  patriotic  and  unselfish 
service." 

"Collected  Poems,"  by  Edward  Arlington 
Robinson,  received  the  prize  of  $1,000  "for  the 
best  volume  of  verse  published  during  the  year 
by  an  American  author." 

At  the  same  time  prizes  were  awarded  for 
the  best  piece  of  reportorial  work,  the  best 
editorial,  the  best  piece  of  disinterested  news- 
paper service  and  for  the  best  cartoon. 

The  announcement  of  these  awards  brings 
attention  also  to  the  fact  that  in  the  last  week 
in  June  the  award  will  be  announced  for  the 
John  Newberry  Medal  for  the  best  children's 
book  of  1921.  All  of  these  awards  help  to 
bring  attention  to  authorship  and  to  give  the 
public  an  opportunity  to  express  their  interest 
in  the  best  literary  efforts  of  the  country.  They 
also  give  aid  to  the  bookseller  in  suggesting 
new  approaches  of  interest  in  circulars  and 
displays.

Are  Publishers  20  Years  Behind  the  Times  ? 

By  Charles  H.  Denhard 


I. 

ONE  point  on  w'hich  a  good  many  "ex- 
perts" are  in  entire  accord,  is  that  book 
publishers  do  not  know  how  to  adver- 
tise, how  to  merchandise  or  how  to  sell.  The 
pet  expression,  now  so  hackneyed  that  the  very 
utterance  of  it  provokes  tears,  is  this:  "The 
publishers  are  twenty  years  behind  the  times." 
When  pressed  for  a  reason,  we  hear  all  the 
old  bromides  about  "publishers  letting  books 
sell  themselves,"  "stereotyped  advertising,"  "no 
originality,"  "no  pep,"  and  so  on.  Every  so 
often,  somebody  decides  to  take  a  crack  at  the 
publishers  in  the  fond  expectation  of  waking 
them  up,  getting  them  to  do  some  real  adver- 
tising, and  showing  them  that  books  can  be 
sold,  just  as  flour  and  flivvers  are  sold.  And 
almost  invariably,  the  marvellous  idea,  the 
method  which  is  bound  to  revolutionize 
the  book  business,  has  only  one  effect  upon  the 
publisiher.  It  bores  him  to  distraction.  And 
why?  For  two  reasons:  first,  the  new  advo- 
cate usually  labors  under  the  severe  handicap 
of  knowing  nothing  about  the  book  business, 
and  second,  his  innovation  is  probably  some- 
thing which  the  publisher  has  used  or  is  using 
in  a  much  more  perfected  form  than  the  en- 
thusiastic book-business-revolutionizer  has  con- 
ceived. Every  time  I  hear  that  "twenty-years- 
behind-the-times"  stuff,  I  wonder  if  it  doesn't 
indicate  that  some — not  all — of  the  publishers 
are  several  jumps  ahead  of  their  critics! 

II. 

Perhaps  there  is  nothing  significant  in  the 
healthy  condition  of  the  book  business  today, 
nor  in  the  extraordinary  manner  in  which  it 
held  up  during  a  period  when  many  of  the 
trick  merchandisers  and  million  dollar  adver- 
tisers were  wondering  where  their  markets  had 
gone !  Perhaps  the  book  publishers  were 
lucky,  and  perhaps  the  ultimate  consumer  who 
was  no  longer  buying  fancy  clothes,  phono- 
graphs and  motor  cars,  was  finding  his  pockets 
bulging  to  such  an  extent;  that  he  dashed  into 
the  nearest  bookstore — not  haberdasher,  nor 
tobacconist,  nor  clothier,  nor  bootery,  nor  con- 
fectioner, nor  florist — but  into  the  bookstore 
to  relieve  himself  of  his  surplus  currency. 
Perhaps  that  is  what  made  the  book  business 
good  when  no  other  business  was  even  fair. 
But  I  don't  believe  it.  The  book  business  held 
up  hjecause  not  one  of  the  book  publishers  quit. 
Mot  one  of  them  was  financially  restrained — 
nor  hog-tied  with  frozen  credits  and  shackled 
with  enormous  inventories.  Not  one  of  them 
discharged  his  sales  force,  or  curtailed  his  out- 


put, or  sliced  his  adveri'hing  appropriation.  Of 
course,  the  book  business  kept  up!  And  they 
say  publishers  are  twenty  years  behind  the 
times.  If  they  are,  they  certainly  gave  other 
business  men  a  few  pointers  during  the  last 
two  years. 

III. 

'''Publishers,  do  |know  how  to  advertise, 
merchandise  and  sell.  Let  us  show  you  how  we 
would  do  it-" — "You  can  sell  any  book  by 
handling  it  as-  you  would  a  piece  of  merchan- 
dise." — "If  a  book  is  worth  publishing,  isn't 
it  worth  pushing?"  A  few  incidents  are  worth 
consideration,  when  this  pitiful  lethargy  of  the 
book  business  is  under  discussion. 

A  few  years  ago,  D.  Appleton  &  Company 
decided  to  test  the  theory  that  books  are  mer- 
chandise and  should  be  sold  as  such.  They 
selected  for  the  test  a  novel  by  a  writer  of  fair 
renown — a  book  which  was  a  good  romance, 
of  popular  appeal,  yet  not  one  which  anybody 
predicted  would  be  a  best  seller.  Appletons 
determined  to  put  this  book  over,  and  accord- 
ingly adopted  the  most  advanced  methods  of 
merchandising.  They  selected  New  York  for 
the  test,  because  New  York  is  generally  con- 
ceded to  be  the  most  difficult,  yet  the  most  in- 
fluential market.  The  advertising  appropria- 
tion was  based  not  upon  the  advance,  nor  upon 
the  first  printing,  but  upon  the  number  of 
copies  which  New  York  was  expected  to  con- 
sume, as  a  result  of  the  campaign. 

Here  are  some  of  the  things  Appleton  did 
mind  you,  in  1916 — six  years  ago.  First  they 
divided  the  whole  Metropolitan  area  into  zones, 
classified  according  to  buying  power,  which  was 
determined  by  the  rents  prevailing  in  those 
zones.  All  zones  where  the  buying  power  was 
negligible,  as  indicated  by  a  prevalence  of 
tenement  houses  and  low  rents,  were  elimin- 
ated. It  was  calculated  that  a  family  able  to 
pay  35.00  per  month  rent,  was  able  to  purchase 
a  book.  Several  men  were  detailed  to  make  a 
thoro  canvass  of  each  zone,  first  to  select  the 
stores,  booksellers,  newsdealers,  stationers  and 
druggists  which  were  most  heavily  patronized 
by  the  potential  bookbuyers ;  second,  to  deter- 
mine, by  consulting  the  newsdealers  in  the  bet- 
ter sections,  which  papers  had  the  largest  cir- 
culations in  these  zones.  After  this  information 
was  secured  and  studied,  a  comprehensive 
plan  of  advertising  was  prepared.  Portfolios 
showing  the  entire  campaign  were  given  to  the 
salesmen  who  covered  each  zone,  calling  on 
every  bookseller  and  on  every  likely  news- 
dealer,  stationer   and  druggist.     The  salesmen

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


were  equipped  with  the  most  extraordinary 
information.  They  knew  the  circulation  in 
each  zone  of  every  newspaper  to  be  used. 
They  knew  whidh  papers  were  most  influential 
in  each  zone.  They  had  reproductions  of  all 
the  advertisements  which  were  to  he  run,  with 
the  date  of  insertion.  They  had  photographic 
suggestions  of  window  displays  and  counter 
displays.  They  had  printed  instructions  tell- 
ing the  new  retailer  how  to  present  the  book  to 
various  types  of  customers.  They  had  a  unique 
circularizing  plan,  whereby  the  newsdealer, 
whenever  he  delivered  or  sold  one  of  the  news- 
papers containing  an  advertisement  of  the  cam- 
paign, attached  to  the  newspaper  a  circular 
calling  attention  to  the  book,  to  the  advertise- 
ment, and  to  the  fact  ithat  he  had  copies  for 
sale,  and  could  deliver  one,  charge  it  on  the 
monthly  bill,  etc.,  etc.  Also,  a  calendar  form 
of  display  was  provided,  wherein,  by  tearing 
off  one  sheet  each  day,  the  current  newspaper 
advertisement  was  always  featured.  The  ad- 
vertising ran  in  large  space,  three  times  a  week 
for  two  months,  in  two  morning  and  two  eve- 
ning papers,  in  addition  to  the  regular  book 
sections.  The  three  essentials  of  successful 
selHng  were  followed:  (i)  Analysis  and  or- 
ganization of  the  territory,  (2)  Distribution, 
<3)  Consistent  advertising  in  the  publications 
which  most  thoroly  cover  the  market,  sup- 
ported by  intelligent  dealer  co-operation. 

The  results  of  the  campaign  were  most  in- 
teresting. But  I  would  prefer  that  D.  Appleton 
&  Company  divulge  them.  The  point  I  am 
trying  to  make  is  that  publishers  are  not  twenty 
years  behind  the  times,  but  sometimes,  several 
years  ahead.  If  this  campaign  lacked  a  single 
cog,  six  years  have  failed  to  disclose  it. 

Was  the  plan  repeated?  Yes,  constantly. 
The  latest  conspicuous  adaptation  of  it  on  a 
national  scale  is  the  Harold  Bell  Wright  cam- 
paign. Is  all  this  medieval  or  modern  mer- 
chandising? Does  the  maker  of  tooth  paste, 
or  foodstuffs,  or  clothing,  go  any  farther — or 
as  far? 

IV. 

Another  instance  of  imagination,  ingenuity 
and  cleverness  far  beyond  the  capabilities  of 
most  merchandising  wizards,  is  the  way  Put- 
nam's put  over  "The  Cruise  of  the  Kawa"— 
not  to  mention  "The  Mirrors  of  Washington" 
and  "The  Mirrors  of  Downing  Street."  With 
a  book,  which  was  at  the  beginning  only  a 
brilliant  burlesque  with  an  author  masquerading 
under  a  nom  de  plume,  George  Palmer  Putnam, 
practically  overnight,  made  Dr.  Traprock  a  na- 
tionally known  figure,  and  within  two  months, 
had  so  popularized  him  that  poor  (or  fortunate) 
George  S.  Ghappell,  alias  Walter  E.  Traprock, 
forsook  a  respectable  "architecting"  practice 
to  dress  up  in  his  explorer's  whiskers  and  make 
speeches,  deliver  lectures,  autograph  books,  and 


shake  hands  in  every,  important  'center  east  of 
Chicago.  Traprock  has  had  more  free  pub- 
licity in  the  newspapers  and  magazines,  than 
many  of  our  prominent  statesmen.  He  and 
"The  Kawa"  have  become  national  institutions. 
It  all  started  with  Mr.  Putnam's  decision  to 
"circus"  Dr.  Traprock.  And  he  had  every- 
body from  Mayor  Hylan  to  Babe  Ruth  work- 
ing for  Ihim,  even  tho  they  didn't  suspect  it, 
until  it  didn't  matter  whether  they  suspected 
it  or  not.  How  many  men  in  other  lines  can 
you  recall,  who  even  got  one-tenth  of  the  legiti- 
mate commercial  publicity  that  Dr.  Traprock 
has  secured  simply  because  his  publishers  were 
alive  to  every  opportunity,  and  sensed  the  way 
to  catch  the  popular  interest?  These  methods 
may  be  twenty  years  behind  the  times.  But, 
they  certainly  sell  ibodks. 

Kaiser's  Memoirs  Coming 

CABLES  from  London  and  Berlin  state  that 
the  long  expected  book  by  ex-Kaiser 
Wilhelm  is  now  ready  for  buyers,  and  one  re- 
port is  that  some  American  group  has  bought 
the  option  on  world  rights.  It  is  stated  that 
the  ex-Kaiser  expects  to  get  most  of  the  income 
from  sales  in  countries  other  than  in  Germany. 
The  ex-Kaiser  has  had  literary  and  other  help 
in  preparing  the  manuscript,  and  it  is  reported 
that  Hindenburg  was  consulted  in  regard  to  a 
considerable  portion  of  the  narrative.  His  mem- 
oirs will  cover  the  period  leading  to  the  war  as 
well  as  the  war  time.  The  title  of  the  volume 
has  not  been  decided  upon,  but  the  book  is  .said 
to  run  to  about   100,000  words. 

Coming  so  soon  after  the  publication  by 
Scribner  of  the  "Memoirs  of  the  Crown  Prince 
of  Germany,"  this  would  seem  to  indicate  that 
the  reading  public  is  to  have  a  goodly  taste  of 
Hohenzollern  literature  in  the  months  to  come. 

A  report  also  comes  from  Berlin  that  the 
Foreign  Ofifice  is  about  to  make  available  all 
of  the  secret  papers  in  the  archives. 

"Three  years  ago  the  Foreign  Office  decided 
on  the  unprecedented  step  of  publishing  all 
documents  and  other  secret  material  in  the 
archives  having  a  bearing  on  historical  events 
from  the  Franco-Prussian  War  to  the  outbreak 
of  the  World  War.  Three  professors,  Al- 
brecht  'Mendelssohn  Bartholdi,  Johannes  Lep- 
sius  and  Friedrich  Tbimme,  were  engaged  for 
the  task  of  research,  compilation  and  editing 
to  produce  what  will  be  a  monumental  source- 
work  in  twenty  folio  volumes. 

"The  first  six  volumes,  which  will  be  pub- 
lished soon,  cover  the  entire  Bismarckian  era 
to  the  Chancellor's  fall.  The  material  will 
include  confidential  instructions  to  and  con- 
fidential reports  from  Ambassadors,  ministers 
and  military  and  naval  attaches  and  other 
officials  of  the  country."

Marks  on  Imported  Books 


THE  Treasury  Department  has  just  issued 
to  the  examiners  of  merchandise  at  all  the 
ports  of  entry  a  communication  stating 
that  the  exact  law  about  the  marking  of  mer- 
chandise with  information  as  to  the  country 
of  origin  must  now  be  enforced  on  books.  This 
is  an  old  regulation,  but  its  enforcement  on 
books  has  always  been  tempered  by  Treasury 
decisions  which  recognized  that  the  title  pages 
on  books  gave  clear  enough  indication  of  their 
source  and  that  an  examiner  might  assume 
that  a  book  published  in  London  was  "made  in 
Great  Britain."  The  National  Association  of 
Book  Publishers  has  made  prompt  remon- 
strance to  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  thru 
the  Qiairman  of  its  Tariff  Committee,  John 
Macrae.  Another  protest  has  also  been  filed 
by  the  Book  Buying  Committee  of  the  Ameri- 
can Library  Association,  Dr.  M.  L.  Raney  of 
Johns  Hopkins  University  Librar}^,  Chairman. 
Mr.  Macrae's  letter  is  as  follows : 

Secretary  of  the  Treasury, 

Washington,  D.  C. 
Sir : 

We  have  today  received  the  instructions  con- 
tained in  your  communication  to  the  Examin- 
ers of  Merchandise  as  relating  to  imported 
books  at  the  various  ports  of  entry  in  the  United 
States,  T.  D.  No.  39108,  dated  May  6th,  1922, 
on  the  question  of  imported  books. 

As  I  read  these  instructions,  if  adhered  to, 
they  will  play  havoc  with  the  importing  of 
bocks,  either  in  edition  lots  or  singly.  The 
matter  has  been  up  on  several  occasions  with 
the  Treasury  Department;  and  after  investi- 
gation, each  time  it  has  been  changed  to  meet 
the  needs  of  the  lover  of  books  and  the  im- 
porter of  books.  It  has  been  the  practice  of 
the  Examiner  of  Books  in  all  the  large  Cus- 
tom Houses  of  the  country,  to  pass  imported 
books  without  adhering  to  the  strict  interpre- 
tation of  the  law,  which  you  now  instruct  shall 
be  done.  It  has  been  deemed  sufficient  mark- 
ing if  the  publisher's  name  appears  on  the  title- 
page  of  the  book,  if  that  publisher  is  in  a 
country  other  than  the  United  States,  J'or  in- 
stance, if  the  title-page  of  a  book  should  say 
— "London,  John  Murray,"  this  would  be  suffi- 
cient evidence  that  the  book  was  of  foreign 
origin.  If  at  the  back  of  the  title-page  it 
should  read — "manufactured  in  Great  Britain 
(or  Canada),"  this  would  be  sufficient  evidence 
of  its  foreign  origin.  Or  if  at  the  back  of 
the  title-page  it  should  say — "Printed  by  Con- 
stable &  Co.,  Edinburgh,"  this  would  be  suffi- 
cient evidence  of  its  foreign  manufacture.  Or 
if  there  should  be  printed  at  the  bottom  of  the 


last  page  or  on  the  back  of  the  last  page — 
"Printed  by  A.  R.  Mowbray  &  Co.,  Ltd.,  Lon- 
don and  Oxford,"  this  would  be  sufficient  evi- 
dence of  its  foreign  manufacture.  Any  one  of 
these  markings  would,  in  our  judgment,  be  a 
full  and  complete  adherenc2  to  the  law;  and 
would  give  full  protection  of  insuring  the  fact 
that   the   books  were  of    foreign   manufacture. 

Whatever  final  disposition  of  this  matter  is 
made,  it  should  have  very  careful  considera- 
tion; and  every  possible  consideration  should 
be  given  to  the  importer  of  books,  in  order  that 
30ur  regulations  for  marking  do  not  mar  and 
destroy  the  value  of  the  book  and  of  the  par- 
ticular edition.  This  same  matter  has  recently 
arisen  between  the  exporter  of  books  from  the 
United  States  to  Canada,  from  the  United 
States  to  Australia,  and  from  the  United 
States  to  Great  Britain;  and  in  every 
instance  the  writer  of  this  letter  has  proved, 
and  these  Governments  have  ruled,  that  the 
markings  outlined  above  by  us  are  sufficient 
evidence  of  its  foreign  manufacture,  and  oi. 
its  having  been  manufactured  in  the  United 
States. 

It  would  be  a  very  distressing  and  disturb- 
ing factor  for  our  Government  at  this  time  to 
insist  upon  the  ruling  you  now  send  us  of 
May  6th,  1922,  T.  D.  No.  39108,  especially  in 
view  of  the  fact  that  we  have  only  within  the 
last  few  months  been  able  to  induce  the  Can- 
adian Government  to  accept  those  various 
methods  of  marking. 

May  we  also  earnestly  suggest  the  follow- 
ing: that  you  make  an  investigation  of  the 
matter  with  such  publishers  as  Charles  Scrib- 
ner's  Sons  of  New  York,  the  J.  B.  Lippincott 
Company  of  Philadelphia,  Brentano's  of  Wash- 
ington and  New  York,  the  Houghton  Mifflin 
Company  of  Boston,  G.  P.  Putnam's  Sons  of 
New  York,  and  E.  P,  Dutton  &  Co.  of  New 
York;  and  if  after  careful  consideration  you 
decide  that  you  must  stand  to  the  letter  of  the 
law,  as  interpreted  by  you  in  your  instructions 
dated  May  6th.  1922— T,  D.  No,  39108,  that 
you  delay  the  date  for  following  these  instruc- 
tions and  give  not  less  than  six  months*  notice, 
so  that  all  importing  publishers  can  arrange 
their  import  orders  so  that  the  books  imported 
shall  not  be  marred  and  more  or  less  destroyed 
by  special  stamping,  as  it  will  require  if  your 
present  order  is  put  into  immediate  force. 
What  you  propose  has  been  brought  up  on  a 
number  of  occasions,  but  it  is  entirely  contrary 
to  the  practice  which  has  practically  been 
observed  by  the  Examiner  of  Books  at  the 
Port  of  New  York  for  the  past  twenty  years 
or  more.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


We  thank  you  for  listening  to  our  long  argu- 
ment in  this  matter,  and  we  earnestly  hope  that 
you  will,  before  deciding  finally  that  this  ruling 
must  go  into  effect,  give  us  a  further  hearing. 
I  am  Vice-President  of  the  National  Associa- 
tion of  Book  Publishers,  and  can  assure  you 
that  they  will  appoint  me  as  a  committee  of 
one  to  speak  for  them,  if  and  when  I  do  place 
the  matter  before  them. 

Earnestly  hoping  that  you  will  rescind  the 
order,  we  are, 

Faithfully  yours, 
(Signed)     JOHN  MACRAE, 
Vice-President,  E.  P.  Button  &  Co. 

Property  Right  in  Books 

THE  authors  of  England  have  joined  in 
signing  a  document  sent  to  the  London 
trade  papers  calling  public  attention  to  the  need 
of  an  entirely  complete  edition  of  the  works 
of  Leo  Tolstoy  and  to  the  fact  that  one  is 
being  projected  by  the  Oxford  University 
Press,  translated  by  Alymer  Maude,  to  be 
ready  by  the  time  of  the  Tolstoy  Centenary 
in  1928.  An  interesting  part  of  the  letter  is 
the  emphasis  placed  on  the  important  part  that 
the  publisher  plays  in  making  the  success  of 
any  literary  enterprise.  The  letter  reads  in 
part: 

"Unfortunately  the  means  adopted  by  Tol- 
stoy to   secure  the   widest   possible   circula- 
tion for  his  books  had  just  the  opposite  ef- 
fect.    He  invited  all  publishers  in  all  coun- 
tries  to   take   the    fullest  advantage   of   the 
absence   of    international    copyright    between 
Russia  and  other  countries  by  publishing  his 
writings   in   such   translatfons   as  they   could 
produce  without  any  reference  to  his  moral 
or    legal    rights.      In   the    case    of    any    less 
famous  author  this   step  would  have   prev- 
ented his   works   being  translated  at   all,  as 
it  is  practically  impossible  to  engage  modern 
capital  in  publishing  or  any  oi'her  enterprise 
without  property  rights/' 
This  letter  was  written  by  G.  Bernard  Shaw 
and  signed  by  90  well-known  English  men  of 
letters,   including  such   names  as   Arnold   Ben- 
nett, H.  G.  Wells,  Gilbert  Murray,  Sir  Oliver 
Lodge,  Bertrand  Russell  and  Sir  Arthur  Conan 
Doyle. 

This  emphasis  on  the  need  of  property  pro- 
tection in  order  that  a  work  of  literature  may 
have  its  full  hearing  brings  new  emphasis  to 
the  point  that  the  American  publishers  have 
made  in  connection  with  the  new  copyright 
bill  now  before  Congress.  The  provisions  of 
this  bill,  which  would  give  the  foreign  author 
the  right  to  sell  and  protect  his  American 
rights,  are  being  sharply  opposed  by  the  Bootk 
Buying  Committee  of  the  American  Library 
Association,  who  claim  that  such  provisos  give 


a  monopoly  of  the  American  market  into  the 
hands  of  individual  publishers.  Monopoly  is. 
after  all,  the  very  essence  of  copyright,  and 
authors  would  be  the  first  to  recognize  that, 
without  being  able  to  assure  to  a  publisher 
exclusive  rights  to  a  market,  they  cannot  ex- 
pect the  full  development  of  the  value  of  that 
market  for  their  work.  All  copyright  legisla- 
tion has  been  made  with  a  view  of  giving  the 
author  fullest  possible  benefit  from  his  creative 
work  and  in  developing  these  benefits  he  has 
found  that  a  business  manager  in  the  form 
of  a  publisher  is  a  very  important  adjunct, 
and  such  a  representative,  as  is  shown  in  this 
document,  is  as  important  to  an  author  in 
countries  other  than  his  own  as  it  is  in  the 
home  ternitory,  especially  when  the  author's 
production  rises  to  international  importance. 

Brazil  Copyright 

BRAZIL  has  joined  the  International  Copy- 
right Union,  according  to  an  official  an- 
nouncement from  Berne,  and  will  now 
give  full  protection  to  all  literary  material  from 
the  Convention  countries.  Fortnerly  protec- 
tion was  confined  to  a  resident  or  a  Portu- 
guese author  of  a  work  written  in  Portugal, 
the  latter  in  accordance  with  the  treaty  of  re- 
ciprocity in  Portugal  in   1899. 

German-American  Copyright 

AN  Associated  Press  dispatch  of  May  i8th 
reports  that  the  Reichstag  had  on  that 
day  passed  a  bill  according  the  same  copy- 
right iprotection  to  American  authors  as  is 
accorded  to  Germans  by  the  United  States. 
'The  new  law,"  so  the  dispatch  reads,  "accords 
protection  for  works  of  literature,  art  and 
photography  on  the  same  basis  as  is  designated 
in  the  law  of  January  15th,  1892,  and  is  re- 
troactive in  application  to  the  period  between 
August  I  St,  1914  to  July  2nd,  1922,  altho  it 
does  not  apply  to  the  irights  of  publication, 
circulation  and  duplication  of  any  American 
product  which  might  have  been  obtained  by  a 
third  party  previous  to  December  18th,   1919." 

Canadian  Book  Weeks 

CANADIAN  booksellers  have  decided  to 
repeat  and  renew  the  efforts  made  last 
fall  to  create  wider  reading  interest  and  will 
have  a  Canadian  Book  Week  on  October  29th 
to  November  4th,  and  Children's  Book  Week 
for  the  same  dates  as  the  Children's  Book 
Week  in  the  United  States,  November  12th- 
19th.  The  suggestion  about-  the  dates  of  the 
Canadian  Book  Week  was  sent  to  the  Canadian 
Authors'  Association  for  approval.  The  con- 
vention of  the  Booksellers'  and  Stationers' 
Association  will  be  held  in  Montreal

Presbyterian  Board  Reorganizes 

AT  the  big  convention  of  the  general 
assembly  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  at 
Des  Moines  the  numerous  Boards  in  connec- 
tion with  the  Presbyterian  work  were  reor- 
ganized so  that  there  are  now  four  Boards 
instead  of  thirteen.  The  Board  of  Publication 
and  Sabbath  School  Work  will  now  be  under 
the  head  of  the  Board  of  Christian  Education, 
and  the  headquarters  will  be  in  Philadelphia. 

The  conference  also  adopted  a  resolution 
referring  to  "The  Shorter  Bible"  which  has 
been  published  by  Scribner  and  by  the  Woman's 
Press  at  the  request  of  several  Presbyteries. 
The  resolution  says: 

"The  Assembly  bears  earnest  testimony  to 
the  necessity  of  the  word  of  God  as  an  entirety, 
believing  that  its  parts  are  best  understood 
only  in  their  relation  to  the  whole,  and  that 
nothing  is  the  Bible,  nor  is  wisely  cr  properly 
called  by  that  name,  except  the  whole  Bible." 

Tariff  Bill  Amendment 

r  O  ENATOR  Lodge  has  introduced  two  amend- 
^  ments  to  the  book  schedules  of  the  Ford- 
ney-McCumber  Tariff  Bill  which  were  ordered 
to  printing  on  May  i8th.  These  amendments 
would  correct  the  present  difficulty  of  having 
the  status  of  new  bindings  on  old  books  in 
doubt.  As  it  was  worded,  a  new  leather  bind- 
ing on  an  old  book  would  bring  about  a  duty 
Ciii  both.  As  amended,  the  tariflf  on  leather 
bindings  would  still  be  45  per  cent  ad  valorem, 
and  it  is  expected  that  a  protest  against  this 
high  rate  can  be  brought  forward  at  the  time 
the  paragraph  is  brought  to  the  floor.  The 
revised  paragraphs  read  as  follows : 

Amendments 

Intended  to  be  proposed  by  Mr.  Lodge  to 
the  Bill  (H,  R.  7456).  Strike  out  on  page  I75, 
paragraph  13 10,  lines  16  to  23,  inclusive,  and 
the  words  "per  centum  ad  valorem,"  in  line 
24,  and  insert  in  lieu  thereof  the  following: 

P.  13 10.  Unbotmd  books  of  all  kinds,  sheets 
or  printed  pages  of  books  bound  wholly  or 
in  part  in  leather,  bound  books  of  all  kinds  ex- 
cept those  bound  wholly  or  in  part  in  leather, 
including  blank  books,  slate  books,  and  pam- 
phlets, engravings,  photographs,  etchings,  maps, 
charts,  music  in  books  or  sheets,  and  printed 
matter,  all  the  foregoing  not  specially  provid- 
ed for,  if  of  bona  tide  foreign  authorship,  15 
per  centu'm  ad  valorem;  all  other,  25  per 
centum  ad  valorem ;  bindings  wholly  or  in  part

On  page  215  in  the  Free  List  strike  out,  in 
Daragraph  1529,  lines  12  to  16,  inclusive,  and 
'he  words  "years  at  the  date  of   importation" 


in  line  17,  and  insert  in  lieu  thereof  the  follow- 
ing: 

P.  1529.  Books,  maps,  music,  engravings, 
photographs,  etchings,  lithographic  prints,  bound 
Oir  unbound,  and  charts,  which  shall  have  been 
printed  more  than  twenty  years  at  the  time 
of  importation :  Provided,  That  where  any 
such  books  shall  have  been  rebound  wholly  or 
in  part  in  leather  within  said  period,  the  bind- 
ing so  placed  upon  such  books  shall  be  dutiable 
as  provided  in  paragraph  13 10. 


New  York  Play  Censorship 

THE  first  test  of  the  new  voluntary  method 
of  play  censorship  seemed  about  to  take 
place  on  May  20th  when  a  complaint  was 
lodged  with  the  magistrate  against  Eugene 
O'Neill's  "Hairy  Ape,"  which  is  playing  at  the 
Plymouth  after  a  couple  of  months  at  the 
Provincetown  Play  House.  After  having 
called  for  the  manuscript.  Chief  Magistrate 
>McAdoo  changed  his  mind  about  the  need  of 
action  and  returned  it  to  Arthur  Hopkins,  the 
producer.  Mr.  O'Neill's  play  of  last  year, 
"Anna  Christie,"  has  just  received  the  award 
of  the  Pulitzer  Prize,  and  "The  Hairy  Ape" 
is  generally  considered  one  of  the  best  plays 
on  the  New  York  board. 


Censorship  Decision  Postponed 

ON  May  20th  the  Appellate  Division  of  the 
Supreme  Court  announced  that  it  reserved 
its  decision  on  the  apipeal  of  Dr.  William  J. 
Robinson  from  his  conviction  in  the  lower  court 
of  Special  Sessions  for  publishing  the  book 
entitled  "Married  Love"  written  by  Marie  C. 
Stopes,  an  English  woman  physician  and  scien- 
tist. 

League  of  Nations  Publications 

THE  World  Peace  Foundation  at  40  Mt. 
Vernon  St.,  Boston,  has  recently  issued  a 
new  list  of  the  publications  of  the  League  of 
Nations  covering  the  Treaty  series,  now  in 
three  volumes,  four  parts  each,  the  Minutes  of

France,  Switzerland  and  latterly  in  Vienna. 
The  distributor  in  England  is  Constable  &

credited  in  our  issue  of  May  13th  as  being  the 
general  publisher  for  the  League.

Illinois  Booksellers  Meet 
at  Decatur 

THE  Booksellers  and  Stationers  of  Illinois 
met  at  Decatur  on  May  2  and  3  for  th^^^ 
Seventh  Annual  Convention,  and  the  two 
days  were  full  of  interesting  discussions, 
talk,  and  entertainment. 

Thirty  dealer  firms  with  fifty-five  representa- 
tives, and  twenty-nine  manufacturers'  repres- 
entatives, set  a  new  record  for  attendance  and 
at  the  banquet  the  attendance  was  one  hundred, 
thirty-seven. 

Education  of  both  employer  and  employee, 
as  to  the  merchandise  he  offers  for  sale;  in- 
creasing sales ;  possibilities  in  lines  of  mer- 
chandise sold  by  dealers;  store  and  window 
displays,  and  costs  of  doing  business  were  the 
keynotes  of  the  convention. 

The  retiring  president,  C.  W.  Follett,  of 
Chicago,  ably  assisted  by  the  other  officers  of 
the  Association,  had  carefully  prepared  an  in- 
teresting business  program  that  sailed  smooth- 
ly and  entertainingly.  Among  other  interest- 
ing addresses  was  one  on  "Increasing  Book 
and  Stationery  Sales"  by  Kenneth  Allen  of 
Waukegon.  He  felt  that  the  average  dealer 
knows  too  little  of  the  goods  he  sells,  or,  the 
great  sales  possibilities  lying  right  at  his  door. 
The  dealer's  opportunity  was  clearly  and  de- 
finitely word  pictured. 

Other  talks  were  made  by  Mrs.  B.  W. 
Cowlin  of  Elgin,  '111.,  J.  Fred  Temple  of 
Galesburg,  111.,  Clifford  Lloyd  of  Champaign, 
111.,  and  Will  H.  Johnson  of  Bloomington,  III, 
and  each  was  followed  by  lively  discussions 
of  the  subjects  presented. 

One  of  the  features  of  the  convention  was 
the  display  of  merchandise  by  manufacturers, 
jobbers  and  publishers.  Many  lines  were  shown 
and  they  were  an  attraction  to  the  dealers. 
There  were  two  or  three  splendid  educational 
displays,  in  addition  to  the  many  lines  of  com- 
pletely manufactured  products. 

For  the  entertainment  of  the  visitors,  a 
luncheon  at  the  Country  Club,  and  a  tea  at 
the  residence  of  a  local  hostess  were  given  for 
the  ladies.  There  was  a  luncheon  for  the 
gentlemen,  and  a  theater  party,  automobile  ride, 
and  "Mixer,  or  'Get-.\cquainted"  evening  for 
all. 

The  banquet  on  the  evening  of  the  second 
day  was  an  elaborate  affair,  full  of  life  and 
well  carried  out. 

The  tables  were  arranged  on  two  sides  of 
the  ballroom  of  the  Hotel  Orlando,  which  al- 
lowed ample  room  for  dancing  in  the  center. 
This  unique  arrangement  supplied  the  atmos- 
phere of  a  dinner-dance  and  those  who  cared 
to,  quickly  took  advantage  of  the  idea  and 
danced  to  the  music  of  the  selected  orchestra 
Wtween  the  many  courses  of  the  meal.    There 


was  something  doing  all  the  time  as  plenty  of 
entertainment  had  been  provided.  A  quartette, 
which  had  composed  a  humorous  parody  about 
"Eddie"  Guest,  which  they  sang  to  him,  was 
a  feature.  There  was  a  monologist,  three  dif- 
ferent solo  dances,  a  humorous  reader,  cornet 
solo,  collective  singing,  etc. 

The  speakers  of  the  evening  were,  W.  R. 
Barnes  of  New  York,  Dr.  C.  E.  Jenny  of 
Decatur,  Frank  Reilly  of  Chicago,  Will  John- 
son of  Bloomington,  and  Edgar  A.  Guest  of 
Detroit. 

Mr.  Guest,  "The  Beloved  .A.merican  Poet," 
was  the  priincipal  speaker,  and  in  explaining 
his  work  stated  his  belief  that  "my  home  is 
like  other  homes  and  other  homes  are  like  my 
home"  and  therefore  it  was  not  difficult  to 
find  material   for  his  work. 

C.  W.  Follett  was  toastmaster. 

The  following  were  elected  to  the  offices  of 
the  Association  for  the  ensuing  year  :  President, 
Will    H.    Johnson,    Bloomington,    111.;    Vice- • 
Pres.,  Otto  Wagner,  Freeport,  111. ;  Sec.  Treas., 
Harry  H.  Chumley,  Decatur,  111. 

Executive  Committee:  Frank  Simmons, 
Springfield,  111.;  C.  W.  Follett,  Chicago,  III; 
Will  H.  Johnson,  Bloomington,  111.;  Otto 
Wagner,  Freeport;  111.;  Harry  H.  Chumley, 
Decatur,    111. 

Champaign  was  voted  the  meeting  place  for 
the   convention  next  year. 

Publishers'  Baseball  League 
Opens  Season 

THE  1922  season  of  the  New  York  Pub- 
lishers' Baseball  League  opened  May  13th, 
with  a  bang  at  Van  Cortland t  Park. 

Several  new  clubs  were  welcomed  into  the 
league  and  the  Methodist  Book  Concern,  one 
of  them,  returned  the  welcome  by  slamming 
Brentano's  in  a  most  unchristianlike  manner, 
by  6  to  2.  While  this  was  taking  place  Mc- 
iGraw-Hill  Co.,  champions  of  1921,  in  a  far 
corner  of  the  lot  were  running  circles 
around  the  Wolfe  Co.,  another  of  the  new 
entrants.  The  third  baby,  labeled  Pictorial 
Review,  was  in  the  meantime  trimming  D. 
Appleton  Co.  by  carrying  the  score  up  to  a 
total  of  13  while  Appleton  came  thru  with  6. 

The  league  has  gained  several  strong  new 
playing  combinations  and  if  the  runners-up  in 
the  192 1  race  don't  watch  out,  somebody  is 
going  to  get  bumped  hard  during   1922. 

The  games  this  year  will  be  played  at  Van 
Cortlandt  and  Prospect  Parks  on  alternate  Sat- 
urdays, all  teams  playing  on  the  same  ground. 
May  20th  will  find  them  in  Brooklyn  and  in 
the  upper  part  of  Harlem  again  on  the  27th. 

The  umpiring  was  without  fault  and  proves

the  wisdom  of  the  Board  of  Control  in  grant- 
ing authority  for  a  paid  staff  of  men  who  have 
no  personal  interest  in  any  of  the  teams  or  the 
players. 
,  Paul  A.  Schoch,  the  indefatiga1)le  President 
'  of  the  league  was  all  over  the  field,  and  his 
presence  aided  considerably  the  successful  in- 
auguratiion  of  the  second  year  of  the  New 
York    Publishers'   Baseball   League. 

San  Jose  Book  Fair 

THE  Pen  Women  of  San  Jose,  Calif.,  staged 
an  interesting  book  celebration  on  May 
17th  and  i8th,  an  exhibit  which  was  called 
a  Book  Fair,  where  rare  and  modern  books 
were  to  be  found,  and  literai-y  people  met. 
Tickets  were  sold  at  fifty  cents  apiece,  and  a 
prize  was  offered  for  the  one  who  sold  the 
most  admissions.  These  were  on  sale  at  all 
the  four  bookstores  as  well  as  at  the  libraries 
and  other  central  points.  At  the  special  auth- 
or's luncheon,  Kathleen  Norris  was  the  guest 
of  honor. 

New  English  Publishers 

ALTHO  publishers  often  tell  me  they 
are  going  thru  hard  times,  there  is  some- 
thing so  fascinating  in  that  profession  that  every 
week  seems  to  see  an  addition  to  its  ranks," 
says  Clement  K.  Shorter  in  the  London  Sphere. 
"I  am  the  more  particularly  interested  when  it 
is  men  who  are  themselves  men  of  letters  who 
take  up  this  occupation.  Roger  Ligpen,  for 
example,  is  associated  with  the  firm  of  Selwyn 
and  Blount,  a  firm  which  has  many  good  books 
to  its  credit,  the  latest  being  a  charming  issue 
of  FitzlGerald's  "Omar  Khayyam,"  with  paral- 
lel texts  of  the  first  and  second  editions.  Mr. 
Ingpen  was  formerly  identified  with  the  firm 
of  Smith  and  Elder,  for  he  was  at  one  time 
on  the  editorial  staff  of  the  Cornhill  Maga- 
zine. He  has  edited  many  books,  and  perhaps 
his  most  attractive  achievement  is  his  collec- 
tion of  the  "Letters  of  Shelley,"  which  has 
gone  thru  more  than  one  edition. 

"Another  literary  publisher  is  Air.  Philip 
Allan,  who  also  was  for  a  long  time  associated 
with  the  now  extinct  firm  of  Smith  and  Elder. 
He  is  the  author  of  a  very  fine  work  on  book 
collecting— "The  Book  Hunter  at  Home" 
(Philip  Allan  &  Co.).  I  have  been  favored 
with  it  in  a  large-paper  form— one  of  500 
copies.  I  have  enjoyed  every  word  of  it,  al- 
tho  much  is  out  of  my  depth ;  I  retire  from  its 
perusal  humbled.  I  am  not  really  a  collector 
but  a  mere  journalist  whose  library  is  a  jour- 
nalist's ideal  of  the  books  of  use  for  the  pro- 
iduction  of  newspapers.  Mr.  Allan's  book  gives 
me  a  feeling  that  there  are  vast  gaps  in  my 
knowledge  of  books.'' 


A  Bookstore  in  the  Film 

C  N'GLAND  seems  to  have  preceded  Amer- 
1-^  ica  in,  supplying  an  example  of  the  use 
of  news  films  in  giving  publicity  to  individual 
bookshops.  The  London  ,paper,  the  Screen 
Weekly,  tells  of  the  making  of  a  film  "inter- 
view" with  one  of  the  salesmen  of  Foyle's 
well-known  second-hand  bookshop  at  Charing 
Cross,  London.  One  of  the  best  known  sales- 
men in  that  store  is  Rev.  George  Duncan,  at 
the  head  of  the  theological  department,  a 
preacher  for  fifty  years  before  he  became  a 
bookseller.  The  film  was  shown  thruout  the 
country  and  must  have  brought  good  adver- 
tising for  Foyle's. 

Rand,  McNally  Increases  Plant 

D  AND,  McNally's  plant  at  Ossining,  New 
Ax  York,  is  being  increased  by  about  25  per 
cent  in  floor  space  and  capacity  to  meet  the 
growing  demands.  The  firm  is  now  producing 
m  all  fields  at  this  plant,  will  emphasis  on 
map  and  text  book  productinn  The  Twenty- 
Second  Street  office,  according  to  Mr.  AIcNally. 
who  has  Just  been  visiting  New  York,  is  also 
feeling  th'e  pressure  of  need  of  more  space,  and 
the  firm  is  discussing  plans  for  getting  more 
room  at  this  point. 

Thirty-five  Years  of  Bookselling 

IN  the  latest  catalog  from  the  Morris  Book- 
■*■  shop,  Chicago,  the  proprietor,  Frank  M. 
Morris,  modestly  points  out  that  he  is  cele- 
brating his  thirty-fifth  year  as  a  bookseller. 
No  bookseller  in  a  large  community  has  been 
able  to  do  more  in  making  his  personality  and 
influence  felt  in  a  most  intimate  way,  and  liter- 
ary Chicago  today  owes  much  to  what  he  has 
done  in  this  field.  To  quote  the  Chicago  Even- 
ing Post: 

"Mr.  Morris  has  not  only  kept  up  the  tradi- 
tions of  a  noble  profession  but  he  has  been  a 
friend  of  every  literary  man  and  literary  move- 
ment in  the  city,  and  if  anyone  ever  attempts 
a  history  of  literary  Chicago  or  anything  of 
that  sort  he  will  find  Mr.  Morris  one  of  his 
best  and  most  willing  sources  of  information. 
Meanwhile,  we  hope  that  Mr.  Morris  will  find 
that  the  first  thirty-five  years  are  the  hardest 
and  that  as  one  enters  into  one's  second  thirty- 
five-year  lap  the  rewards  of  constancy  begin 
to  come  in  with  ever  increasing  frequency." 

THE  DOOR  WAS   OPEN 
"In  these  hard  times  I'm  trying  to  make  a 

living  by  selling  this  set  of  books.     Won't  you 

help  me  out?" 
"You  betcha.    I  will  in  a  minute  if  you  don't 

,!j:o  peaceably."  — Life.

interest  in  the  new  W.  J.  Locke  novel,  "The

ber, have  printed  at  the  bottom  of  all  their 
invoices  This  Is  A  Locke  Year.  Despite  their 
assumption  that  everyone  in  the  trade  would 
understand  the  meaning  of  this  cryptic  message,

"We  have  SOMETIMES  tliought  (tho  we  do 
not  care  very  much  for  sequels)"  writes  Chris- 
topher Morley  in  the  New  York  Evening  Post 
"of  having  our  old  friend  Roger  Mifflin,  weary- 
ing of  running  his  second-hand  bookshop  in 
Brooklyn,  buy  some  kind  of  barge  or  tugboat 
and  go  seafaring  along  the  coast  and  inland 
waterways  in  a  nautical  bookship.  But  now 
comes  a  mysterious  clipiping  from  the  London 
Nation  and  Athenceum,  which  seems  to  project 
the  first  of  all  actual  maritime  bookstores : 

"  'We  believe  the  Anchor  liner  commanded  by 
the  author  of  "The  Brassbounder"  has  become 
a  sort  of  link  between  the  literary  circles  of 
New  York  and  London.  She  is  the  home,  we 
have  heard,  of  an  exclusive  club  when  in  New 
York  Harbor,  and  the  rare  notions  there 
exchanged  do  not  figure  in  the  ship's  manifest. 
It  is  said  to  be  Capt.  Bone's  intention  to  open 
a  bookshop  on  the  latest  big  addition  to  his 
company's  fleet  and  to  persuade  young  literary 
men  to  run  the  shop  in  turn.' 

"H  it  is  true  that  the  Anchor  Line  plans  a 
bookshop  on  the  new  Tiiscania,  our  hat  is  in 
the  ring  as  a  candidate  for  the  position  of 
book-steward."

of  plays  for  children  has 
been  published  in  revised  form  by 
Kate  Oglebay,  the  first  issue 
having  been  1920,  Booksellers

Longstreth's  books  on  the 
Catskills  and  Adirondacks  will 
find  his  latest  "The  Laurentians" 
(Century)  even  more  entertain- 
ing reading,  and  booksellers  will 
do  well  to  find  a  place  for  it  on 
their  outdoor  shelf.  The  region

book  lies  only  thirty-six  hours 
from  New  York  in  a  little  ex- 
plored part  of  the  province  of 
Quebec. 

Promoting  Gardening 
Books 

A  MOST  attractive  little  cata- 
log, designed  to  increase 
summer  business,  has  been  issued 
by  the  Hampshire  Bookshop, 
Northampton,  called  "Books  and 
Gardening."  The  little  4^^  x  6 
booklet  is  most  attractively  bound 
in  light  green  covers  and  has  an 
essay  -by  Doris  Patee  on  "Books 
Will  Make  Your  Garden  Grow" 
an  essay  full  of  suggestions  as  to 
the  books  that  are  most  useful  in 
the  different  problems  of  practical  gardening. 
This  article  is  followed  by  a  list  of  good 
garden  books  with  brief  notes,  and  other  lists 
on  nature  books  follow.  The  typography  has 
been  most  carefully  planned.

"W7  HAT  seems  to  be  an  entirely  new  field 
'^  of  book  promotion  has  been  developed  for 
the  "Uncle  Wiggily  Bedtime  Stories,"  by 
Howard  Garis.  A  New  York  firm  dealing  in 
wrapping  paper  has  arranged  for  special  illus- 
trated "Uncle  Wiggily  Stories"  which  it  prints 
on  wrapping  paper  and  paper  bags,  these  to  be 
sold  to  stores  for  the  purpose  of  attracting 
the  child  trade  of  the  country.  Each  story 
refers  to  another  sheet  that  can  be  had  of  a 
different  story,  so  that  children  will  bring  their 
mothers  back  to  make  further  purchases.     The

Perfecting  Book  Display 

"T^HE  increased  emphasis  on  the  importance 
••  of  neat  and  adequate  display  of  books  in 
order  to  get  the  proper  turnover  has  brought 
many  new  display  fixtures  into  the  market, 
several  of  which  have  proved  peculiarly  effective 
for  the  purpose.  The  Universal  Fixture  Cor- 
poration, which  produced  the  rotary  fixtures  that 
have  been  featured  by  the  American  News 
Company  in  its  well  directed  efforts  to  get 
books  attractively  displayed,  has  now  put  on 
the  market  a  new  sholf  fixture  that  permits 
the  display  of  a  goodly  number  of  Ijooks.  It 
can  be  easily  moved  from  one  counter  to  an- 
other and  displays  the  titles  directly  at  the 
level  of  the  customer's  eyes.  These  fixtures 
are  of  metal,  and  books  can  face  either  way 
and  set  broadside  or  in   regular   rows.

Good  Book-Making 


Two  committees  have  been  discussing  the 
state  of  public  taste  in  England  recently, 
a  committee  representing  British  industry 
and  a  committee  representing  the  interests  of 
art.  In  brief,  industry  says  that  "there  can  be 
no  substantial  improvement  in  the  artistic  qual- 
ity of  British  products  until  the  taste  of  the 
buyer  is  improved,"  and  the  artists  believe 
"there  can  be  no  improvement  in  the  taste  oE 
the  buyer  until  the  characteristics  of  the  prod- 
ucts improve."  Probably  progress  has  got  to 
be  made  side  by  side.  There  are  undoubtedly 
many  merchants  who  would  like  to  improve  the 
general  taste  of  each  article  which  they  handle 
but  find  their  public  lagging  behind,  and  there 
are  also  merchants  whose  taste  lags  behind 
that  of  the  customers.  There  is  hope  in. the 
educating  of  children,  but  sometimes  those  who 
have  labored  to  improve  the  taste  of  youth 
thru  many  grades  of  school  work  and  then 
have  seen  the  decorations  in  the  homes  which 
these  same  children  make  for  themselves  as 
adults,    feel    a    sense    of    discouragement. 

While  in  matters  of  taste  progress  is  always 
slow,  it  has  ever  been  one  of  the  encourag- 
ing things  about  printing  that  there  seem  to 
be  so  many  people  who  appreciate  beautifully 
balanced  pages  who  have  not  been  especially 
trained  in  the  aesthetics  of  typography.  In 
printing,  as  in  many  arts,  there  has  been  often 
too  much  of  a  feeling  that  "fine  printing"  was 
queer  printing.  To  quote  W.  R.  Lethaby  from 
an  article  printed  in  connection  with  the  Guild 
Exhibition  in  London,  "Design  is  not  some 
strange  contortion  of  a  useful  thing  into  a 
freak;  it  is,  properly,  the  arranging  how  rea- 
sonable work  may  be  rightly  done." 

The  latest  bulletin  from  the  Harvard  Uni- 
versity Press  now  puts  a  September  date 
upon  the  publication  of  D.  Berkeley  Updike's 
important  book  on  the  history  of  printing, 
which  has  long  been  awaited  by  those  who  are  * 
interested  in  good  book  printing  and  who  ap- 
preciate what  Mr,  Updike's  work  stands  for 
in  American  printing.  Mr.  Updike  entered 
into  the  field  of  book  production  after  the  most 
thoro  and  unusual  preparation  by  study  of  the 
best  examples  of  world  printing  and  after 
many  years  spent  in  collecting  works  on  the 
history  of  printing,  so  that  his  library  in 
Boston  forms  an  unusual  background  for  any 
typographical  work,  including  as  it  does,  ex- 
amples of  every  printing  master  in  addition 
to  copy  books,  style  books  and  items  that  are 
seldom  seen.  This  bulletin  of  the  Harvard 
Press  in  its  introduction  says: 

"Both  the  general^  reading  public  and  the 
booksellers  are  evincing  an  increased  apprecia- 


tion of  sound  manufacture  in  books.  Our  posi- 
tion has  always  been  that  a  good  book  is 
worthy  of  good  physical  dress  and  that  shoddy 
or  cheap  manufacture  is  a  most  serious  detri- 
ment to  efficient  publishing.  All  our  books 
published  in  the  last  year  and  a  half  have  been 
under  the  direction  of  Bruce  Rogers,  who  has 
been  for  some  .time  the  official  printing  advisor 
of  Harvard  University." 

Mr.  Rogers,  as  is  well-known  to  lovers  of 
printing,  is  also  responsible  for  many  special 
items  that  are  coming  out  thru  the  press  of 
William  E.  Rudge  of  Mt.  Vernon.  Among 
those  published  recently  is  "The  Bride  of 
Huitzil,"  an  Aztec  legend,  by  Hervey  Allen, 
published  by  James  F.  Drake  in  New  York. 
The  book  is  a  slim  octavo,  and  the  pages  are 
decorated  in  the  Aztec  manner  by  Bernhardt 
Wall.  The  selection  of  type,  use  of  italics 
and  general  make-up  are  pleasing  in  every 
way.  The  binding  in  imported  gilt  and  red 
paper  with  a  buckram  back  is  an  extremely 
eflfective  piece  of  work. 

Another  book  that  Mr,  Rogers  has  been 
responsible  for  comes  from  the  Dunster  House 
Bookshop,  Cambridge,  Mass.,  a  volume  of 
poems  by  Conrad  Aiken,  another  example  of 
Mr.  Rogers's  skill  in  handling  the  poetical  line 
in  book  composition. 

A  very  attractive  little  volume  of  poetry  is 
"The  Little  Book  of  Society  Verse,"  compiled 
by  Fuess  and  Stearns,  just  issued  by  Houghton 
Miffl'in  Company.  The  volume  is  of  pocket 
size,  pleasant  type  page,  pages  running  easily 
thru  the  hand  and  with  a  daintily  contrasted 
cloth  cover  very  suitable  to  a  volume  of  society 
verse. 

The  Macmillan  Company  have  given  a  very 
fpleasing  format  to  "The  Dingbat  of  Arcady," 
by  Marguerite  Wilkinson,  which  has  been 
printed  for  them  by  the  Conde  Nast  Press, 
Greenwich,  Conn.  The  green  cover  and  wrap- 
per, a  suggestion  of  the  happy  out-of-doors, 
are  very  suitable  to  the  volume. 

A  twelvemo  volume  of  very  satisfactory 
make-up  and  dignified  design  is  "The  Ninth 
Vibration,"  by  L,  Adams  Beck,  a  collection  of 
stories  of  Asia.  The  title  page  is  two-color, 
type,  modern  and  pleasing,  and  the  binding  sub- 
stantial and  in  keeping  with  the  book. 

A  perfect  use  of  the  silhouette  is  shovvU  in 
the  Century  Company's  edition  of  "More 
Jataka  Tales,"  retold  by  Ellen  C.  Babbitt,  for 
which  Ellsworth  Young,  who  did  the  illustra- 
tions for  the  first  series,  has  made  a  series  of 
thirty-three  silhouettes,  one  of  which  appears 
to   advantage   on  the   cover.

The   University   of    Chicago    Press   has  car- 
ried thru  an  interesting  piece  of  publishing  in 
j     the  volume  entitled  "Naturalists  in  the  Great 
Lake  Region,"  a  book  that  endeavors  to  cover 
!     in  one  volume  all  the  different  aspects  of  nature 
,     study  for  a   limited   region.     The  illustrations 
|!     are  profuse,  well-executed  and  very  illuminat- 
|i     ing,  and  include  geological  maps,  nature  drav^- 
ings,  photographs,  etc.     Such  a  book  may  sug- 
gest the  same  type  of  volume  for  other  regions. 
In  making  the  volume  flexible  for  pocket  form, 
the  publishers  have  used  the  heavy  leather  sub- 
stitute, which  has  been  used  more  generally  in 


commercial  work  than  in  book  publishing. 

A  fine  and  dignified  pair  of  octavos  is  "The 
Life  of  E.  H.  Harriman,"  by  George  Kennan, 
published  by  Houghton  Mifflin  Company.  And 
another  fine  biography  in  appearance  is  "The 
Life  of  Donald  G.  Mitchell,"  by  Waldo  H. 
Dunn,  published  in  one  volume  by  Scribner. 
These  works  are  in  the  best  style  of  dignified 
and  well-executed  octavo. 

Houghton  Mifflin  Co.  has  also  made  an  at- 
tractive book  of  "The  Blocking  of  Zebrugge," 
by  Captain  Carpenter,  just  published  in  this 
country. 


English  Book-Trade  News 

(From  Our  London  Correspondent) 


THE  best  selling  novels  just  now  are: 
Richard   Triumphant.     W.   Pett   Ridge. 
Men,   Women  and   Beasts.     H.   de  Vere 

Stackpoole. 
Peter.    E.  F.  Benson, 
Sembal.     iGilbert  Cannon. 
The  Oppidan.    Shane  Leslie. 
The  Red  House  Mystery.    A.  A.  Milne. 

We  ought  to  include  in  the  above,  and  our 
reason  for  not  doing  so  is  that  they  are  things 
apart  from  the  ordinary  successful  novels,  Mr. 
Hutchinson'is  "If  Winter  Comes"  and  Wilfred 
Ewart's  "Way  of  Revelation."  The  first  book 
is  just  soaring  to  heights  unknown  in  the  way 
of  sales,  while  Mr.  Ewart's  book  is  arriving  at 
a  remarkable  figure  for  a  war  novel.  These 
two  novels,  so  different  in  every  way  except 
one — their  sincerity — are  seen  everywhere:  in 
the  homes,  clubs,  tubes,  trains,  etc.  Their 
authors  are,  indeed,  very  fortunate. 

Non-fiction  is  giving  us  some  very  readable 
works : 

Alfred  Noyes'  The  Torch  Bearers, 

Hilaire  Belloc's  The  Jews, 

Harold  Begbie's  Shackleton. 

J.  C,  Squire's  Poems   (2nd  Series), 

Edmund  Gosse's  Aspects  and  Impressions, 

William  Beebe's  The  Edge  of  the  Jungle. 

Some  other  good  books  for  which  orders 
are  flowing  in  satisfactorily  both  non-fiction 
and  fiction,  are: 

Lord  Dunsany's   Chronicles  of   Rodriguez. 

Ethel  M.  Dell's  The  Odds  and  Other  Stories. 

Middleton  Murray's  The  Things  We  Are. 
Brander   Matthews'    Essays   on   English, 

Mr,  Duster's  Painted  Windows. 

Victor  Bridge's  Greensen  Gland. 

Dark's  Outline  of  Wells, 

Mrs,  Watts-Dunton's  Swinburne, 

G.  B.  Burgin's  More  Memoirs. 

Joseph  Tumulty's  Woodrow  Wilson. 


The  spring  book-trade,  in  spite  of  the  still 
continuing  difficulties  which  face  the  publisher 
and  bookseller,  has  been  excellent.  It  would 
have  been  an  amazing  spring  if  everything  had 
been  straight  and  clear  sailing.  It  doesn't  want 
much  imagination  to  realize  this  when  you 
read  what  the  difficulties  have  been :  Abnor- 
mally high  income  tax,  local  taxes  almost  up 
to  war  heights,  the  state  of  Europe,  the 
threatening  general  election,  two  million  un- 
employed, pending  strike  of  one  million 
engineers,  red  revolution  or  civil  war,  or  what- 
ever else  you  care  to  call  it,  in  Ireland;  high 
bank  rate  (now  falling,  thank  goodness!),  cost 
of  book  materials,  etc.,  still  probably  over 
200  per  cent  above  pre-war  rates,  advertising 
costs  and  transportation  charges  almost  im- 
possible— and  a  few  others  not  worth  mention- 
ing! Quite  a  nice  little  catalog,  the  reader 
will  agree.  It  is  not  to  be  wondered  at  that 
publishers  and  booksellers  have  been  a  little 
apprehensive.  Yet,  in  spite  of  all  of  these 
things,  they  go  on  their  way,  quietly  producing, 
gauging  the  possibilities  of  a  book,  and  placing 
the  same  before  their  clients  in  the  bookshops. 
The  bookseller,  while  perhaps  a  little  more 
cautious  than  in  the  old  days,  continues  to 
show  his  courage  by  stocking  the  couple  of 
thousand  books  or  so  which  have  made  their 
appearance  lately  or  will  do  so  before  spring 
merges  into  summer.  And,  what  is  even  more 
encouraging,  this  means  that  books  are  selling. 
If  the  book  buying  habit  would  return  in  full 
force,  the  optimism  of  the  few  would  be  more 
than  justified.  And  many  of  the  works  which 
have  appeared  and  which  are  to  appear  during 
the  next  few  weeks  are  intensely  interesting. 
The  little  lists,  brief  in  the  extreme,  given 
below,  will  bear  this  out.  Several  of  them 
are  not  just  books  of  the  moment,  while  others 
are  of  the  "best  sellers."  There  has  been  one 
other  very  bad  detriment  to  good  sales  this 


i634 

year,  and  this  has  been  the  unfortunate  packers' 
strike  which  lasted  several  weeks.  Fortunately, 
it  is  over,  but  it  did  a  great  deal  of  harm  while 
it  lasted,  and  thousands  of  pounds  of  orders, 
in  the  aggregate,  were  lost,  perhaps  not  for- 
ever, but,  in  any  case  much  trade  was  definitely 
and  'entirely  lost.  Soon  the  quiet  summer  days 
will  be  upon  us,  when  practically  only  the  cheap 
reprint  will  have  anything  like  sales  and  when 
publishers  will  be  getting  ready  their  autumn 
books. 

Here  is  a  new  idea  for  a  circulatmg  library, 
for  which  England  is  famous.  It  has  been 
started  by  Harrodis,  the  great  London  store. 
In  order  to  meet  the  needs  of  those  who  only 
occasionally  require  to  use  a  library  to  secure 
some  special  or  recently  published  work,  Har- 
rods  are  issuing  lOO-Day  Readers'  Tickets. 
These  are  available  at  half  a  guinea  each,  and 
entitle  the  holder  to  borrow  a  book  whenever 
desired,  up  to  a  total  of  a  hundred  days,  which 
may  possibly  extend  over  several  years. 

More  American  publishers,  says  John 
O'London's  Weekly,  have  come  to  London  this 
spring,  seeking  new  books,  than  have  ever  been 
here  before.  Per  contra,  we  have  sent  more 
authors  to  America  lecturing,  Mrs.  Margot 
Asquith  among  them,  and  so  the  business  is 
even.  It  would  be  a  pity  if  either  country 
should  have  any  advantage  over  the  other  in 
literary  faring. 

This  is  how  the  Britisher's  money  goes.  It 
is  an  excerpt  from  the  famous  Geddes  Report : 
In  examining  the  estimates  of  the  British 
Museum  we  are  struck  by  the  greatly  increased 
cost  of  bookbinding.  This  item,  which  in 
1913-14  cost  £11,900,  is  estimated  in  1921-22  at 
£26,500,  and  in  1922-23  at  £22,000.  We  suggest 
that  in  present  circumstances  this  item  should 
be  reduced  by  i3>ooo,  and  the  incidental 
expenses  at  the  Natural  History  Museum 
should  be  reduced  by  £5,000. 

We  learn  from  the  London  Evening  News 
that  John  Galsworthy,  back  from  his  Scandi- 
navian tour  and  his  visit  to  Paris,  was  again 
in  the  chair  at  the  P.  E.  N.  Club  the  other 
night  when  the  guests  were  M.  Emile  Cam- 
maerts,  the  Belgian  poet,  and  Mr.  Mjelde,  a 
Norwegian  author.  The  P.  E.  N.  Club,  which 
numbers  most  of  the  younger  school  of  writers 
among  its  members,  has  been  so  successful  that 
associate  clubs  have  already  been  established  in 
Paris  (with  M.  Ahatole  France  as  its  head), 
Brussels,  and  New  York.  Spain  is  to  have  a 
branch  shortly,  and  similar  clubs  are  being 
projected  in  Norway,  Sweden  and  Denmark. 
Members  of  the  London  (or  parent)  club  are 
ex-officio  members  of  all  the  others.  "No 
speeches"  is  one  of  the  rules  of  the  club;  but 
there  is  always  a  riot  of  conversation  to  make 
up  for  any  lack  of  after-dinner  oratory. 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 

The  sister  of  A.  S.  M.  Hutchinson,  Vere 
Hutchinson,  is  having  her  first  novel  pub- 
lished almost  immediately  by  Jonathan  Cape, 
who  has  so  definitely  made  his  place  among 
the  notable  British  publishers.  Miss  Hutchin- 
son's story  is  to  be  entitled  "Sea- Wrack." 

Mr.  Hutchinson's  new  novel,  "This  Free- 
dom," is  going  to  surprise  his  tens  of  thousands 
of  readers.  It  is  a  very  remarkable  analysis, 
penetrating  to  the  utmost  degree  of  human 
character.  The  drama  of  it,  as  well  as  its 
vividness,  will  assure  for  it  another  tremen- 
dous sale.

Obituary 

THOMAS  \V.  DURSTON 
Thomas  W.  Durston,  a  famous  old-time 
bookseller  in  Syracuse,  N,  Y.,  died  at  his  home 
in  East  Orange.  N.  J.,  on  May  19th  from  an 
attack  of  pneumonia.  Born  in  Syracuse  in 
1844,  "Tom"  Durston  was  identified  with  many 
interests  in  that  city.  When  the  Civil  War 
broke  out,  he  left  his  place  as  an  assistant  in 
the  Wynkoop  Bookshop  and  enlisted  in  the 
cavalry.  He  served  thruout  the  four  years, 
receiving  his  discharge  as  Quartermaster- 
Sergeant.    In  1869  he  started  in  for  himself  as 


Thomas  W.  Durston  &  Co.,  and  for  years  his 
shop  in  Vanderbilt  Square  was  the  best  known 
in  central  New  York.  From  it  eventually  came 
Clarence  \Volcott,  W.  Y.  Foote  and  Frederick 
C.  Bailey,  each  of  whom  engaged  in  the  book 
business  for  himself.  In  1893  the  firm  became 
Thomas  W.  Durston  &  Son  by  the  admission 
of  his  son,  J.  Frank,  into  partnership.  In 
January,  1897,  the  firm  failed  and  the  stock 
was  sold  to  close  the  business.  He  was  agent 
for  a  long  period  for  the  Methodist  Book 
Concern,  and  afterward  when  he  retired  from 
the  book  business  he  was  connected  for  ten 
years  with  Syracuse  University  as  bursar. 

EDWIN  W.  HALL 
Edwin  W.  Hall  of  the  traveling  staff  of  the 
Dodge  Publishing  Co.,  died  at  his  residence 
in  East  Orange,  N.  J.,  on  May  30th.  He  was 
fifty-four  years  of  age.  Starting  as  a  boy 
with  Thomas  Nelson  &  Sons  when  they  rep- 
resented the  Oxford  Bible  line  in  America,  he 
became  a  salesman  in  early  manhood,  and  dur- 
ing the  past  thirty  years  he  traveled  for 
Nelson's,  the  International  Bible  Agency,  Cas- 
sell  &  Co.,  Scribner's,  Moffat,  Yard  &  Co.,  and 
for  the  past  four  years  he  represented  the 
Dodge  firm  in  Boston,  New  York  State  and 
the  South.  He  is  survived  by  his  widow  and 
three  sons.  , 

DR.  JOHN  A.  WYETH 
Dr,  John  A.  Wyeth,  founder  of  the  Poly- 
clinic Hospital,  New  York,  and  one  of  the 
most  famous  surgeons  in  America,  died  at  his 
home  in  New  York  on  May  28th.  He  was  in 
his  seventy-eighth  year.  Bom  in  Alabama,  he 
fought  for  the  Confederacy  in  the  Civil  War 
and  published  two  books  relating  thereto.  "With 
Sabre  and  Scalpel"  (1914)  and  "Life  of  Gen- 
eral Nathan  B.  Forrest"  (1899).  He  was  also 
the  author  of  a  "Textbook  on  Surgery,"  first 
published  by  Appleton,  afterward  by  the  Ox- 
ford University   Press.

Editor,  Publishers'  Weekly: 

Our  previous  letter  to  you,  which  you  were 
good  enough  to  publish,  with  regard  to  short 
postage  on  American  letters  sent  to  us,  has  had 
such  a  good  effect  that  we  would  like  to  draw 
the  attention  of  your  publisher  readers  to  the 
fact  that  we  want  their  announcements  and

in  future.  Even  some  of  the  many  friends 
with  whom  we  deal  fail  us  in  this  respect. 
With  kind  regards  and  many  thanks.

1  he  Publishers'   Weekly 


Rare  Books,  Autographs  and  Prints 


THE    annual    exhibition    of    "recent    addi- 
tions" to  the  print  collection  of  the  New 
York  Public  Library  has  been  opened  in 
the   Stuart   Gallery   and  will   remain   on   view 
until  autumn. 

Ernest  Dressel  North,  4  East  Thirty-ninth 
Street,  has  issued  a  catalog  of  "Fifty  First 
Editions"  from  Chaucer  to  Kipling.  The 
notes  are  written  with  Mr.  North's  usual  care 
and  are  packed  with  bibliographical  informa- 
tion. 

"Certainly  there  is  a  growing  interest  in 
book  collecting,"  says  the  New  York  Herald. 
"The  American  public  have  learned  more  and 
more  to  accept  the  value  of  books  not  simply 
as  literature  but   as   objects   and  possessions." 

The  current  issue  of  Antiques  contains  an 
illustrated  article  by  George  H.  Sargent  on 
"The  Handbills  of  Yesterday,"  dealing  with 
the  historical  importance  of  hand  bills  and 
broadsides  of  the  Colonial  and  later  periods 
and  their  growing  interest  to  collectors  of 
Americana. 

Mrs.  Watts-Dunton  in  her  "Home  Life  of 
Swinburne"  has  a  chapter  on  the  poet  as  a 
bibliophile.  He  is  said  to  have  had  a  warm 
affection  for  his  books,  kept  them  in  "apple 
pie  order"  "dusting  them  himself."  He  had 
a  small  collection  of  "old  and  rather  shabby 
books  ...  the  precious  quartos  of  first  edi- 
tions of  the  dramatists"  in  which  he  took  great 
pride. 

The  Burdett-Coutts  sale  at  Sotheby's  was 
looked  forward  to  as  the  season's  test  of  the 
mettle  of  American  and  English  collectors. 
The  three  outstanding  lots,  the  Daniel  First 
Folio,  the  manuscript  of  Dickens'  "The  Haunt- 
ed Man,"  and  the  group  of  600  Dickens 
letters  sold  eii  bloc,  all  will  come  to  America. 
The  library  is  reported  to  have  brought  $149,- 
850,  Dr.  Rosenbach's  purchases  amounting  to 
more  than  half  this  sum. 

"The  Bibliography  of  William  Blake"  com- 
piled by  Dr.  Geoffrey  Keynes  and  published 
by  the  Grolier  Club  has  appeared.  It  is  a 
medium  quarto,  536  pages,  forty-four  full  page 
illustrations  of  which  four  are  colored  lith- 
ographs; the  text  contains  twelve  reproduc- 
tions of  title  pages.  It  is  printed  on  handmade 
paper  by  the  Chiswick  Press  of  London  and 
bound  in  blue  cloth,  morocco  back,  and  cased. 
The  edition  consists  of  250  copies. 


According  to  C.  W.  Reedier  in  School  and 
Society  during  the  last  six  war  and  post-war 
years  six  universities  have  increased  the  num- 
ber of  volumes  in  their  libraries  from  one- 
third  to  one-half,  Harvard  showing  an  ad- 
vance from  1,183,000  to  2,101,000,  Texas  from 
109,000  to  205,000,  Northwestern  from  102,- 
000  to  201,000  and  Cornell,  Chicago,  Illinois 
and  California  about  one-third.  These  large 
accessions  contain  a  considerable  percentage  of 
very  rare  books  of  all  kinds  and  periods. 

Charles  F.  Heartman  of  Perth  Amboy,  N. 
J.,  will  publish  next  month  a  revised  edition 
of  a  check  list  of  "The  New  England  Primer" 
printed  in  America  prior  to  1830.  The  first 
edition  is  out  of  print  and  the  new  edition  will 
contain  some  corrections  and  record  some  new 
discoveries.  One  hundred  illustrations  will  be 
an  interesting  and  valuable  feature.  The  book 
has  been  divided  into  two  alphabets,  the  sec- 
ond dealing  with  undated  editions  listed  under 
the  printer's  name.  The  edition  is  printed 
from  large  type,  on  well  selected  paper,  sub- 
stantially bound,  and  limited  to  215  copies,  a 
few  of  which  will  be  on  Japan  paper  bound 
in    full   morocco. 

The  auction  season  at  the  American  Art 
Galleries  closed  on  May  17  and  at  the  Ander- 
son Galleries  May  22,  a  month  earlier  than 
last  year.  The  last  sale  of  importance  at  the 
Anderson  Galleries  was  on  May  16  and  17 
when  the  library  of  I.  Remsen  Lane  of  Orange, 
N.  J.,  was  dispersed.  It  brought  $6,455.  On 
the  same  days  the  libraries  of  Jonathan  Acker- 
man  Coles,  L.  D.,  the  late  John  B'.  Pease  of 
Roxbury,  Mass.,  and  the  late  Mrs.  A.  W. 
Church  of  Portchester,  N.  Y.,  with  additions 
were  sold  at  the  American  Art  Galleries,  the 
various  consignments  realizing  $15,574.50. 
Prices  were  somewhat  erratic  but  well-main- 
tained to  the  end. 

The  old  practice  of  completing  rare  books 
from  other  defective  copies  is  under  fire  in 
England.  Of  course  there  can  be  no  real  ob- 
jection to  taking  two  defective  copies  of  the 
same  edition  and  making  a  perfect  one.  The 
objection  is  against  supplying  these  deficiencies 
from  improiper  sources  which  is  faking  and 
then  elaborately  binding  and  charging  a  fancy 
iprice.  This  practice  has  been  common  in 
England  for  a  half  century,  and  New  York 
has  been  a  dumping  ground  for  such  restora- 
tions. American  collectors  in  recent  years 
have  become  wise  and  skeptical.  All  bound 
copies  are  more   or  less   subject   to   suspicion. 


June  3,  1922 

It  is  generally  believed  that  they  are  bound 
because  it  was  absolutely  necessary,  and  old 
collectors  are  seldom  deceived.  It  is  the  young 
and  inexperienced  buyer  who  pays  more  at- 
tention to  the  beautiful  binding  than  its  con- 
tents who   is  generally  the  victim. 

Dr.  Johannes  Gennadius,  Minister  to  Great 
Britain  from  Greece  for  nearly  forty  years, 
has  presented  his  library  to  the  American 
School  of  Classical  Studies  at  Athens.  It  is 
said  to  contain  some  50,000  manuscripts,  books 
and  pamphlets,  and  to  be  worth  upwards  of 
$250^000.  "Its  value  to  the  American  School 
needs  no  comment,"  says  the  New  York  Times, 
"but  it  may  ultimately  be  still  more  valuable 
in  spreading  truer  ideas  of  Hellenism  among 
educated  Americans."  The  Gennadius  library 
contains  an  admirable  equipment  for  classical 
studies — historical,  literary  and  archaeological; 
it  contains  equally  full  material  on  the  history, 
political,  ecclesiastical  and  cultural,  of  the  five 
hundred  years  when  Greece  was  Rome  and 
of  the  thousand  years  when  "Rome"  was 
Greek.  And  along  with  this  are  the  earliest 
works  of  modern  iGreek  literature  and  a  unique 
collection  of  books  and  manuscripts  on  the 
Greek   War    of    Independence. 

Four  years  before  General  U.  S.  Grant  was 
elected  president  he  was  approached  with  a 
view  to  making  him  the  Democratic  national 
candidate  according  to  letters  that  have  just 
come  to  light.  In  reply  General  Grant  said 
that  he  was  astonished  and  did  not  know  of 
any  indlication  that  he  had  made  that  he  would 
be  a  candidate  for  office.  "I  shall  continue," 
he  wrote,  "to  do  my  duty  to  the  best  of  my 
ability,  so  long  as  permitted  to  remain  in  the 
army,  supporting  whatever  administration  may 
be  in  power,  in  their  endeavor  to  suppress  the 
rebellion  and  maintain  national  unity,  and  never 
desert  it  because  my  vote,  if  I  had  one,  might 
have  been  cast  for  a  different  candidate.  Noth- 
ing likely  to  happen  would  pain  me  so  much 
as  to  see  my  name  used  in  connection  with 
a  political  office.  I  am  not  a  candidate  for 
any  office  nor  for  the  favors  of  any  party. 
Let  us  succeed  in  crushing  the  rebellion  in 
the  shortest  possible  time  and  I  will  be  con- 
tent with  whatever  credit  may  be  given  me, 
fully  assured  that  a  just  public  will  award  all 
that  is  due."  F.  M.  H.

1648  ^^^  Publishers'  Weekly 


Do  you  realize  how  the  new  Tariff 

will  effect  you  and  your  Business? 


/TTtlP  ^f  natp  of  tt|?  Inttf  6  ^tatf 0  now  have 

^^  before  them  for  consideration,  the  New  Tariff  Bill,  certain 
portions  of  which  vitally  concern  you  and  every  bookseller 
in  the  United  States. 

It  is  proposed  to  levy  a  very  heavy  duty  on  leather  bindings,  (45%) 
far  more  than  is  needed  to  protect  any  American  Industry,  and 
on  which  protection  the  tariff  is  based. 

The  passage  of  such  a  duty  will  increase  prices  out  of  all  proportion 
and  will  curtail  entirely  the  importation  of  many  books  needed  by 
the  reader,  collector  and  library. 

Many  booksellers  and  publishers  have  spent  time,  effort  and  money 
in  their  fight  against  such  unjust  and  unnecessary  duties,  but  their 
work  will  be  all  in  vain,  unless  YOU  and  every  other  bookseller 
show  a  united  front,  and  each  do  your  individual  share. 

DO  NOT  DELAY 

Speak  to  your  customers,  explain  how  the  increased  cost  will  effect 
them — urge  them  to  make  an  individual  protest,  and  >vrite  your 
protest  NOW  to  your  Congressman  and  to  the  members  of  the 
Finance  Committee.  Use  whatever  influence  you  have,  put  every 
ounce  of  energy  into  your  effort,  and  have  the  joy  of  personal 
achievement  and  the  knowledge  of  your  work  well  done,  when  the 
final  and  favorable  result  is  known.

A   Test   Vote 

Of   subscribers  to   The  Outlook  for  the  best  livng  author  gave  first  choice 
to  Rudyard  Kipling,  second  to  Booth  Tarkington. 

All  of  the  Booksellers 

were  asked  by  The  Publishers'  Weekly  to  vote  for  the  "most  significant  living 
American  author."    The  result  put  Booth  Tarkington  first  on  the  list. 

Of  his  new  novel  GENTLE  JULIA 

The  New  York  Times  said: 

"Don't  miss  this  book,  but  don't  try  to  read  it  aloud  to  anyone. 
You  couldn't  do  it  justice,  not  in  its  best  parts,  because  no  one  can 
speak  distinctly  who  is  all  broken  up  with  laughing." 

Heywood  Broun  in  the  New  York  World  said: 

"This  is  a  good  book."  (Revised  two  weeks  later  to  ''a  pretty 
good  book.") 

F.  P.  A.  in  the  New  York  World  said: 

"If  there  is  more  fun  than  reading  a  book  like  "Gentle  Julia," 
we  should  like  its  name  and  local  habitations."

Author  of 

IF  WINTER  COMES 


350,000  copies  of  '*If  Winter  Comes''  have  been  sold  in 
America  in  less  than  ten  months. 

We  are  convinced  that  "This  Freedom''  will  be  even  more 
popular. 

Why? 

Because,  unlike  most  phenomenal  sellers,  "  If  Winter  Comes" 
has  appealed  to  at  least  seven  out  of  every  ten  of  its  American 
readers,  and 

Because  "This  Freedom"  is,  in  the  opinion  of  seven  of  its  first 
ten  American  readers,  a  greater  novel  than  "If  Winter  Comes" 

Our  enthusiasm  for  this  book  knows  no  limits.

modern  novel  which  point  definitely  toward  the  novel  of  tomorrow."

"Out  of  the  troop  of  a  year's  books  .  .  .  comes  "Adrienne  Toner,"  a 
very  pearl  of  a  novel."  —KATE  DOUGLAS  WIGGIN. 

"An  extraordinary  book,  .  .  .  The  breath  of  life  emanates  from  the 
pages,  and  it  is  intoxication  to  breathe  it." 

— HILDEGARD  HAWTHORNE  in  the  NEW  YORK  HERALD. 

"Rare  beauty  and  dignity.    Miss  Sedgwick  has  had  the  courage  and  the 

art   to    carry   through   triumphantly    a   really    amazing    literary    feat." 

—ARTHUR  STANDWOOD  PIER  in  the  ATLANTIC  MONTHLY. 

"There  is  nothing  else  like  it  in  all  fiction.  Miss  Sedgwick's  feat  in 
creating  Adrienne  is  comparable  to  Thackeray's  in  producing  Becky 
Sharp."  —SAN   FRANCISCO  ARGONAUT.

The  Traveler  and  the  Buyer 

As  the  travelers  with  their  fall  lines  are 
now  abroad  in  the  land  beginning  the 
most  important  of  the  book-trade's  buy- 
ing seasons,  those  retailers  who  realize  the  im- 
portance of  the  contact  between  buyer  and 
seller  should  re-read  the  paper  written  by  a 
publisher's  salesman  for  the  Convention  at 
Washington  under  the  title  "As  Ithers  See  Us." 
It  is  the  business  of  a  successful  traveler  to 
adapt  himself  as  much  as  possible  to  the  ways 
and  habits  of  the  buyer.  The  buyer  is  not 
always  as  careful  tO'  understand  the  salesmian's 
situation.  This  article  points  out  some  of  the 
conditions  of  selling  books  on  the  road  which 
the  buyers  should  appreciate,  and,  appreciat- 
ing, help  to  limprove. 

i.y/,  tBe  prepared  for  the  salesman.  A  noti- 
fication usually  precedes  his  coming  with  a 
copy  of  the  catalog  for  checking.  A  cheoking 
done  carefully  in  advance  is  better  than  a  hasty 
checking  on  the  day  of  the  traveler's  arrival. 
No  traveler  likes  to  sell  to  a  poorly  prepared 
buyer. 

2nd,  Arrange  work  to  handle  buying  sys- 
tematically. In  stores  where  the  buyer  is  also 
the  manager  and  sometimes  salesman,  this  is 
particularly  necessary.  As  buying  is  so  ex- 
tremely important  a  part  of  the  year's  business, 
it  should  be  systematically  arranged   for. 

Zrd,  Keep  appointments  as  closely  as  is  pos- 
sible. This  is  not  only  common  courtesy  but 
it  means  that  the  buyer  understands  that  time 
is  money,  and  the  traveler's  time  must  be  taken 
care  of  in  the  expense,  of  selling. 

4th,  Do  not  postpone  buying.  Sometimes  the 
traveler  is  put  off  from  one  trip  to  another 
merely  because  of  a  lack  of  appreciation  of 
what  time  is  worth. 

5f/r.  Give  real  orders,  if  possible,  orders  that 
are  suibject  to  probable  curtailment  or  which 
may  never  be  confirmed  are  of  no  satisfaction 
to  the  traveler,  and  the  buyer  does  not  make 


1681 

things     pleasanter     by     holding    out     delusive 
prospects. 

6th,  iGet  special  conditions  of  sale  down  in 
writing.  If  there  are  any  arrangements  con- 
nected with  a  purchase  that  are  out  of  the  or- 
dinary, have  them  put  in  writing  on  the  copy 
of  the  order,  so  that  future  friction  may  be 
avoided. 

7th,  Keep  record  of  selling  plans.  Many 
books  are  bought  in  quantity  because  of  special 
selling  plans  that  the  traveler  has  outlined.  If 
these  special  selling  plans  are  lost  sight  of,  the 
stock  when  received  will  not  move  as  it  should. 
It  is  the  buyer's  business  to  keep  record  of 
these  plans. 

%th.  Give  new  authors  a  show,  if  possible. 
Travders  find  that  buyers  plead  for  books  'by 
new  authors,  but,  when  shown,  decide  that  the 
experimenting  should  be  done  by  some  other 
bookseller.  Every  bookstore  can  l)e  a  pioneer 
in  some  field. 

gth,  Let  the  traveler  talk  with  the  sales 
people.  Much  valuable  selling  information  and 
merchandising  impulse  is  carried  from  city  to 
city  by  the  travelers,  and  contact  with  people 
on  the  floor  is  valuable.  Unless  such  contact 
seriously  interferes  with  the  routine  of  store 
keeping,  it  is  to  be  encouraged  and  not  dis- 
couraged. 

10th,  Remember  the  traveler  has  his  troubles. 
Touring  the  country  and  keeping  appointment 
after  appointment  is  not  a  pleasure  trip.  Keep 
the  traveler's  difficulties  in  mind  and  give  him 
courteous  and  friendly  welcome  in  your  city. 
Comradeship  between  buyer  and  seller  is  a  fine 
thing,  and  mutual  confidence  and  respect  w^ill 
develop  business  for  both. 

Active  Market  for  ^'Classics" 

Two  of  the  most  energetic  advertising 
campaigns  in  the  direct  selling  book  field 
in  recent  months  have  been  that  of  the 
Little  Leather  Library  Corporation  selling  a 
sieries  of  little  classics  in  attractive  handy 
form  and  the  campaign  firom  Gerard,  Kansas 
on  little  classics  at  loc  each.  These  campaigns 
may  be  symbols  of  a  new  interest  in  the  old 
standards  which  may  spread  in  many  direc- 
tions and  bring  a  wider  display  of  old  titles 
in  the  bookstores. 

The  Everyman's  Library  has  recently  added 
new  titles,  and  the  same  publishers  have  been 
developing  further  their  King's  Treasury 
Scries  with  many  attractive  items.  The  Mod- 
ern Libi'ary  is  now  pretty  fully  established  in 


i682 

all  book  outlets,  specializing,  as  it  does,  in  the 
accepted  books  of  the  last  fifty  years.  A  new 
series  of  European  classics  has  been  started  by 
Nlkholas  L.  Brown  entitled  the  Sea  Gull  Li- 
brary, with  four  volumes  ready  and  others  in 
preparation.  New  volumes  have  appeared  in 
the  Locb  Library  of  Greek  and  Latin  classics, 
now  well  over  its  hundredth  volume.  A.  A. 
Knopf,  Inc.,  has  undertaken  the  American  dis- 
tribution of  a  series  of  world  classics  in  their 
original  languages  which  are  printed  in  Ger- 
many. 

A  book  distributing  system  that  does  not 
make  available  all  the  literature  of  the  past  is 
certainly  failing  in  an  important  function,  and 
it  is  to  be  hoped  that  these  signs  may  be  real 
indications  of  a  growing  attention  to  the  old 
books. 

New  A.  L.  A.  Reading  Course 

WITH  the  publication  of  two  pamphlets 
describing  reading  courses  on  Accounting 
and  on  Journalism,  the  American  Library 
Association  has  begun  a  new  effort  to  increase 
the  use  of  practical  books  and  to  assist  in  the 
country's  problems  ot  adult  education.  The 
Library  Association  believes  that  in  every 
community  there  are  men  and  women  who 
would  like  to  undertake  definite  courses  of 
reading  and  that  more  helpful  advice  on 
specific  subjects  might  be  given  by  an  expert 
in  pamphlet  form  than  could  be  available  from 
any  library  or  bookstore  assistant  whose  expe- 
rience must  of  necessity  cover  many  fields 
more  or  less  superficially. 

The  first  two  pamphlets  cover  Accounting 
and  Journalism  and  have  text  describing  the 
approach  to  the  subjects  as  well  as  a  list  of 
books  best  adapted  to  a  serious  course  of 
study.  The  series  as  planned  restricts  reading 
recommendations  to  six  or  eight  books,  and 
the  pamphlets  will  be  revised  from  time  to 
time,  but  only  when  new  publications  make 
this  necessary.  Bookstores  will  find  these  help- 
ful in  building  up  reading  interest  and  in  in- 
creasing the  number  of  people  who  are  mak- 
ing books  an  important  part  of  their  business 
progress.  The  titles  that  are  mentioned  in  the 
pamphlet  on  Accounting  are :

Tariff  on  Casein  Protested 

ANOTHER  protest  against  too  high  a  tariff 
rate  in  the  new  bill  is  that  being  lodged 
in  Congress  by  the  paper  makers  against  a  4c 
per  pound  duty  on  casein.  Casein,  which  is 
made  from  skimmed  milk,  is  the  principal  in- 
gredient used  in  binding  the  fibers  of  pulp  to- 
gether to  make  book  paper.  The  largest  part 
of  it  comes  from  Argentine.  Under  normal 
conditions,  this  country  would  import  about 
20,000,000  pounds.  The  domestic  supply  would 
be  somewhere  between  5,000,000  and  8,000,- 
000  pounds  per  year.  More  than  this  is  not 
likely  to  'be  produced  in  this  country,  because 
the  dairies  do  not  turn  their  skimmed  milk 
into  this  product  until  the  market  has  been 
amply  supplied  with  all  the  other  products, 
such  as  powdered  milk,  cheese  or  condensed 
milk.  Casein  has  sold  for  about  15c  a  pound, 
and  the  increase  in  cost  that  would  come  from 
a  4c  duty  would  put  the  American  makers  of 
book  paper  under  a  serious  handicap  in  com- 
parison with  the  European  countries.  Users 
of  finlished  paper  will  be  interested  to  support 
the  paper  makers  in  this  protest,  as  the  in- 
creased duty  proposed  would  seem  to  serve 
no  good  purpose  in  maintaining  the  American 
industry.

Government  Reading  Courses 

By  Joseph  L.  Wheeler 

Librarian  of  the  Youngstoum  Public  Library 


FOR  several  years  Uncle  Sam  has  taken 
note  that  education  does  not  stop  when 
school  days  are  done.  The  Bureau  of 
Education  has  a  Home  Education  Division,  the 
idea  of  which  is,  that  people  can  be  encouraged 
to  read  and  study 
at  home.  With  the 
marked  increase  in 
sales  of  really  good 
books  of  non-fiction 
since  the  war,  the 
book-trade  must  be 
interested  in  this 
Home  Reading  pro- 
ject, for  the  Bureau 
has  now  issued  and 
distributed  in  large 
quantities  a  score 
of  these  courses, 
which  have  gone 
into  thousands  of 
homes  and  influenced 
men,  women  and 
children  t  o  read 
thousands  of  good 
books.  The  trade 
can  do  much  to  fur- 
ther this  great  work, 
and  in  turn  may 
benefit   by    it. 

Here  is  a  list  of 
the  courses  up-to- 
date 

1.  Great  Literary 
Bibles. 

2.  iGrcat  Literature 
— Andient,  Medie- 
val, Modern. 

3.  Miscellaneous 
Reading  Course 
for   Parents. 

4.  Miscellaneous 
Reading  Course 
for   Boys. 

5.  Miiscellaneous 
Reading  Course 
for  Girls. 

6.  Thirty  Books  of 
Great  Fiction. 

7.  Thirty  World  Heroes. 

8.  American  Literature. 

9.  Thirty  American   Heroes. 

10.  American  History. 

11.  France  and  Her  History. 

12.  Heroes   of   A/merican    Democracy. 

13.  The  Call  of  Blue  Waters  (Seamanship.) 


THE    TYPE  OF    POSTER    MADE    UP    BY    THE    YOUNGS- 
TOWN    PUBLIC   LIBRARY   TO    PROMOTE   THE   DEMAND 
FOR  VOCATIONAL   BOOKS. 


14.  Iron  and  Steel. 

15.  Shipbuilding. 

16.  Machine  Shop  Work. 

17.  foreign  Trade. 

18.  Dante. 

19.  Master     Build- 
ers of  Today. 

20.  Twenty     Good 
Books  for  Parents. 

Among  these  the 
most  popular  are 
numbers  3  4,  5,  6 
and  10.  probably 
because  they  have 
l)een  longest  and 
most  widely  adver- 
tised. 

Since  last  July  the 
Bureau  has  received 
8,300  requests  for  in- 
formation about  the 
courses  and  has  dis- 
tributed more  than 
51,000  copies.  Read- 
ers who  really  mean 
business  and  will 
undertake  to  com- 
plete the  dozen  or 
score  of  books  in 
any  course  are  "en- 
rolled" and  upon 
completion  of  the 
course  receive  a 
beautiful  "official" 
engraved  certificate 
from  the  govern- 
ment. It  is  realized 
by  those  interested, 
however,  that  the 
real  results  come 
from  the  tremend- 
ous amount  of  read- 
ing done  by  those 
who  pick  up  the  lists 
and  then  informally 
and  at  their  own 
Igood  time,  without 
reporting  to  anyone, 
read  one  or  two  or  several  of  the  books  recom- 
mended. Probably  the  great  bulk  of  this  read- 
ing goes  on  without  any  notice  either  by  the 
libraries  or  the  Ix>ok dealers  of  the  country. 

The  last  five  years  have  seen  important  ad- 
vances in  the  general  project.  Efforts  were 
made  to  connect  it  with  the  work  of  the  Ex- 


1 684 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


tension  Divisions  of  the  State  Universities,  with 
a  view  to  localizing  it.  As  a  result  sixteen 
states  now  have  someone  directly  interested  in 
encouraging  Heme  Reading,  sending  out  lists, 
receiving  applications  and  reports,  and  issuing 
certificates. 

Progress  has  been  made,  also,  in  publishing 
the  ct.urses   in  a   style   that   would   have   more

CX)VER    OF    PAMPHLET    NUMBER     12    IX     THE    GOV- 
ERNMENT   READING    COURSES — ONE    OF    THE    MOST 
CAREFULLY    PREPARED    OF    THIS    SERIES. 

visual  appeal  and  .pul)licity  value  than  did  the 
original  closely  set,  8-point  leaflets,  which  had 
no  title  page  or  design.  Six  of  the  later  courses 
have  attractive  covers  prepared  l)y  artists,  and 
S"vcral  have  th'e  titles  run  inio  an  intercstin-; 
text  written  'by  specialists.  Of  the  latter  the 
most  recent  is  the  course  on  Teachine;,  which 
was  prepared  for  the  American  Library  Asso- 
ciation by  Professor  Strayer  of  Columbia. 

From  the  pulbljcity  point  of  view,  as  well  as 
f<.:  ib<-  care  given  to  the  selection  of  the  books 
and  tiie  i)rcparation  of  the  text,  Reading  Course 
No.  12,  "Heroes  of  American  Democracy,"  is 
perhaps  the  most  successful.  Like  several 
others  it  was  prepared  for  the  Bureau  l)y  the 


American  Library  Association,  which  in  turn 
was  aible  to  enlist  the  talent  of  Helen  Nicolay, 
the  well-known  writer  on  American  history. 
In  a  most  inspiring  text  which  briefly  notes 
the  part  played  by  each  of  the  14  American 
leaders,  Miss  Nicolay  introduces  the  titles  of 
21  biographies.  There  is  an  illustration  of  the 
row  of  books  and  a  facsimile  of  the  certificate. 
The  front  cover  carries  an  artist's  rendering 
of  the  St,  Gaudens'  statue  of  Lincoln. 

What  does  such  an  obviously  good  list  as 
this  lack  to  make  it  reach  into  the  thought  of 
the  Ameiiican  -people?  Uncle  Sam  could  thru 
an  army  of  willing  co-operators  make  such  a 
list  of  some  consequence  in  moulding  and  stabil- 
izing public  opinion,  for  the  books  which  it 
suggests  deal  with  the  lives,  the  motives  and 
the  prdblems  of  the  men  who  established  and 
maintained  this  nation.  The  effective  distribu- 
tion of  these  reading  lists  and  a  national  cam- 
paign to  call  attention  to  them  have  not  yet 
been  successfully  directed  from  Washington. 
Libraries,  bookstores,  study  clubs  and  schools 
must  be  organized  and  instructed  so  that  the 
h'>ts  will  be  placed  in  the  hands  of  promising 
■'l^rospccts.''  It  is  'here  that  the  book-trade  can 
be  of  service  while  it  aids  its  own  interests. 

The  typical  method  of  utilizing  booklists  in 
public  libraries  would  make  an  advertising  man 
complain  bitterly,  and  the  same  is  true  to  a  less 
degree  in  the  bookstores,  x^fter  most  libraries 
have  invested  hours  of  labor  in  compiling  book- 
lists and  good  money  in  having  them  printed 
( locally,  too,  when  they  could  do  it  more 
cheaply  in  co-operation  with  other  libraries), 
they  often  appear  so  overcome  with  pleasure 
at  the  mere  sight  of  their  product  that  they 
neglect  to  carry  out  the  real  object  of  their 
work,  which  was  (was  it  not?)  to  get  more 
people  to  read  more  books.  Accordingly  they 
stack  their  lists  upon  their  lending  desks,  and 
the  bookdealers  stack  the  publishers'  circulars 
under  the  counter,  w^here  they  rest  peacefully 
for  several  months.  They  might  better  study 
methods  of  distribution  and  see  that  each  copy 
of  the  lists  goes  cut  of  the  library  or  the  store 
and  into  the  hands  of  men  and  women  who 
might  care  to  read  the  books. 

A  large  part  of  the  Bureau  of  Education's 
Reading  Courses  is  sent  out  from  Washington 
to  libraries,  clubs  and  schools,  and  it  is  a  safe 
gamble  that  a  goodly  proportion  of  them  never 
reaches  the  hands  of  the  ultimate  prospective 
reader  for  lack  of  effort  by  the  distributors. 

Booksellers  can  secure  copies  of  these 
courses  from  Washington  or  from  such  local 
libraries  as  have  had  the  "gumption"  to  use 
first  class  lists  which  they  themselves  did  not 
prepare.  Then  they  can  pass  them  on  to  cus- 
tomers, either  at  the  store  or  thru  the  mail, 
enclosed  with  bills  or  with  other  book  pub- 
licity.    Great    numbers   of    book-store    patrons

would  be  glad  indeed  to  see  some  of  these 
courses  and  thereby  be  led  to  purchase  and 
read  some  of  the  books,  most  of  which  would 
be  in  the  stock  of  the  average  store  (except 
the  technical  titles). 

The  enterprising  dealer  can  easily  visualize 
possible  devices  to  feature  the  "Uncle  Sam 
Reading  Courses."  Among  others  would  be  a 
window  display,  showing  the  series  of  lists, 
possibly  with  posters  or  cut-outs  of  appropri- 
ate figures,  and  a  number  of  the  books  them- 
selves. Possibly  the  Bureau  of  Education 
would  provide  a  full-size  facsimile  of  the  cer- 


tificate to  serve  as  the  central  feature  of  the 
window.  Much  good  would  result  if  the  Bureau 
could  arrange  to  send  out  these  full-size  fac- 
similes so  that  libraries  and  bookstores  could 
post  them  in  a  conspicuous  place  and  thereby 
create  a  little  curiosity. 

Aisubtsequent  article  will  consider  the  general 
subject  of  book  lists,  their  compilation,  printing 
and  distribution,  and  the  means  by  which  the 
}x)ok-trade  can  aid  in  developing  this  important 
publicity  medium,  partly  thru  the  co-operation 
of  pu'blishers,  dealers  and  libraries. 


Unpaid  Creators  of  New  Book  Business 

By   William   R.   Reinicke 

PART  I 


WHEN  you  speak  of  bookworms,  even  to 
an  old  book  collector,  he  is  apt  to  say 
that  he  has  read  of  such  worms,  but  as 
neither  he  nor  anyone  else  that  he  knows  has 
ever  seen  one,  he  has  his  doubts  about  the 
existence  of  such  creatures.  Still,  they  do 
exist,  and  have  carried  on  their  depredations 
since  the  time  that  records  were  kept  on  pa- 
pryrus,  skins  and  paper,  and  altho  in  most  cases, 
the  amount  of  injury  has  been  little,  the  total 
has  amounted  to  great  losses,  and  in  some 
places  the  loss  caused  by  them  has  been  very 
great. 

The  earliest  reference  to  the  subject  accord- 
ing to  Austin  was  discovered  among  the  frag- 
ments of  manuscript  attributed  to  Evenus,  the 
sophist-poet  of  Paros,  wiho  wrote  about  450 
B.  C.  Aristotle  speaks  of  a  "little  scorpion- 
like creature  found  in  books ;"  evidently  one 
of  the  book-lice,  Horace  and  Ovid  also  speak 
of  the  bookworm.  Martial  who  lived  in  the 
first  century,  and  Lucian  in  the  second,  also 
mention  the  destruction  caused  by  him. 

Robert  Hooke  in  his  "'Micrographic,"  pub- 
lished in  1665,  gives  the  first  description  oi 
an  insect  destructive  to  books,  but  if  it  was 
not  for  the  illustration  accompanying  the  do 
scription,  it  would  be  impossible  tx)  tell  what 
kind  of  insect  he  meant.  The  illustration 
(Fig.  4)  is  that  of  one  of  the  silver  fish, 
which  is  today  found  among  collections  of 
books.  It  was  not  until  the  time  of  Linnaeus 
(1707-1778)  and  Fabricius  (1743-1807)  th.-t 
the  description  of  insects  were  written  in  such 
manner,  as  to  enable  the  student  of  today  tu 
identify  them  with  any  degree  of  certainty. 
Even  the  poets  could  not  resist  the  temptation 
of  putting  into  verse  the  ravages  of  the  hook- 
worm, and  over  thirty-three  poets,  including 
the  immortal  Robert  Burns,  have  mentioned 
him. 


Naturally  the  collections  kept  in  libraries 
located  in  the  warm  regions  of  the  world  are 
the  greatest  sufferers  from  their  injuries.  In 
some  cases,  entire  collections  not  only  of 
books,  but  of  government  records  have  been 
destroyed,  often   in   a   few    days.     I   was  told 


(fig     i)     leather     bindings     destroyed     by 
crickets  .\nd  ro.xches. 


that  when  the  American  government  took  over 
the  Philii)pine  Islands^  the  records  of  the 
old  Spanish  govcriuncnt  were  in  a  deplorable 
condition,  due  to  the  ravages  of  insects,  espe-

daily  the  termites  or  white  ants.  When  a  vol- 
ume supposed  to  contain  records  was  lifted  off 
of  the  shelf,  the  contents  often  fell  out,  and 
resembled  a  miniature  snow  storm,  so  com- 
pletely had  they  been  eaten  into  bits.  Book 
collections  in  the  Hawaiian  islands  are  great 
sufferers  from  these  insects.  I  have  seen  books 
from  there  so  badly  damaged  that  some  of 
them  looked  as  tho  a  mischievous  boy  had  en- 
deavored to  see  how  many  strips  he  could  cut 
orut  of  the  pages. 


(fig.     2)     WHITE     ANTS     EAT     A     BOOK     TO    LACE 
WORK. 

Dr.  Charles  P.  Fisher,  Librarian  of  the  Col- 
lege of  Physicians  of  Philadelphia,  says:  "It 
was  in  1901  that  we  found  the  book-worm  in 
all  stages  of  its  growth,  in  a  number  of  val- 
uable books  of  the  fifteenth,  sixteenth  and 
seventeenth  centuries.  Dr.  Hagen  found  them 
damaging  the  books  at  Cambridge,  Mass.  Dr. 
Thomas  L.  Montgomery,  state  librarian  of 
Pennsylvania,  stated  that  "when  in  Bermuda, 
the  librarian  of  the  public  library  showed  him 
a  number  of  badly  riddled  books.  He  said  that 
it  was  practically  impossible  in  that  climate 
to  keep  calf  Ixnind  Ijooks  free  from  worms. 
One  report  upon  injurious  insects  had  been  so 
badly  eaten,  that  the  pages  would  scarcely 
hold  together. 


John  C.  Fitzpatrick,  formerly  of  the  divis- 
ion of  manuscripts,  of  the  library  of  Congress 
writes :  "The  manuscripts  which  suffered  in  all 
cases  are  those  that  came  to  us  from  the 
tropjcs  and  the  warm  climates  such  as  Florida, 
New  Mexico.  .  .  All  the  manuscripts  have  not 
suffered  alike,  some  are  eaten  to  a  lacework 
by  a  boring  bug,  others  have  been  chewed  to 
powder  with  the  different  variations  possible 
between  these  two   efforts. 

In  Florida  I  foimd  many  examples  of  their 
attacks,  especially  upon  bindings,  and  one  of 
the  interesting  discoveries  was  that  the  various 
dyes  of  coloring  matter  used  in  coloring  the 
leathers  were  concerned.  There  were  some 
books  bound  in  certain  colors,  that  had  been 
on  the  shelves  for  long  periods,  untouched, 
while  other  books,  bound  in  different  colored 
bindings,  were  damaged  the  first  night. 

There  is  scarcely  a  state  in  the  Union  from 
which  bookworm  damage  has  not  been  recorded. 
I  have  received  hundreds  of  ravaged  books 
from  almost  every  country  in  the  world,  and  it 
was  quite  wonderful  to  note  the  many  and 
various  ways  in  which  they  had  been  damaged. 
Some  looked  like  pieces  of  lace,  strips  of  nar- 
row ribbons;  others  had  hundreds  of  small 
perforations,  as  tho  made  with  a  shotgun,  or 
large  excavations,  often  the  size  of  a  walnut 
in  them,  and  again  large  portions  were  entirely 
eaten  away.  Bindings  were  perforated,  pieces 
gnawed  out,  or  badly  discolored  by  the  insects 
sucking  the  coloring  matter.     (Fig.  i.) 

Nor  does  any  one  section,  due  to  climatic 
conditions,  seem  to  be  exempt.  In  a  dry  region, 
it  is  true,  that  the  insects  that  require  a  moist 
atmosphere  are  missing,  but  to  compensate  for 
this,  the  district  is  inhabited  by  a  species  which 
requires  heat. 

The  little  brown  beetle,  known  to  scientists 
as  Sitodrepa  patticea  is  generally  called  the 
bookworm.  This  little  insect,  which  has  been 
carried  to  all  parts  of  the  world  by  com- 
merce, has  also  become  cosmopolitan  in  its 
food  habits,  and  has  been  given  the  common 
name  of  "the  cigarette  beetle"  on  account 
of  the  great  damage  it  does  to  tobacco.  It 
does  damage  books,  often  very  seriously. 

The  beetles  contain  the  largest  number  of 
species  destroying  books.  They  also  attack 
the  bindings.  Both  larva  and  adult  assist  in 
the  work  of  destruction.  The  moths  contrib- 
ute a  number  of  species,  but  in  their  case  it 
is  only  the  larva  which  eats  the  paper.  Crick- 
ets and  roaches  (Fig.  3)  are  very  destructive 
to  bindings.  The  roaches  will  eat  the  leather 
bindings  for  the  oils  and  fats  contained  in 
them,  and  suck  out  the  dyes  and  pigments  used 
in   filling  the  cloth   bindings. 

If  the  name  of  bookworm  is  to  be  given  to 
the  insect  causing  the  greatest  amount  of  dam- 
age to  books,  the  title  should  be  given  to  the

white  ants,  those  pests  not  only  of  books,  but 
of  almost  everything  used  by  man.  The 
white  ants  (Fig.  2)  which  by  the  way,  are 
not  true  ants,  are  the  arch-destroyers  of  books, 
and  as  all  of  their  work  is  done  under  the 
surface,  only  making  a  small  hole  for  entrance, 
great  damage  is  often  done  before  one  is  aware 
of  their  presence.  In  a  single  night  they  will 
easily  chew  a  number  of  volumes  into  small 
fragments,  and  as  they  are  found  in  almost 
all  parts  of  the  world,  one  never  knows  when 
his  books  are  safe. 

Silverfish  are  found  among  many  collections 
of  books  and  papers,  and  it  is  known  that 
they  will  eat  the  coatings  off  of  coated  papers, 
and  the  film  of  photographs.  The  little  book 
scorpions  or  book  lice  are  known  everyw'here, 
as  one  can  scarcely  pick  up  a  book,  or  take 
a  paper  out  of  a  drawer  without  discovering 
one,  that  is,  if  you  have  a  sharp  eye,  and  are 
quick  enough  to  spy  him  as  he  scampers  away 
to  hide.  Mites,  flies  and  the  larva  of  butter- 
flies have  been  accused  of  damaging  books, 
but  I  believe  that  the  proof  is  doubtful. 

Over  one  hundred  and  forty-six  species  of 
insects  are  named  as  being  destructive  to  books 
among  the  eight  hundred  articles  upon  the 
subject. 

Praises  American  Ad  Writers 

SIR  Charles  Higham,  whose  book  on  "Scien- 
tific Distributaon"  was  published  by  Knopf 
in  191 8,  is  in  this  country  as  an  official  delegate 
to  the  convention  of  the  Advertising  Clubs  of 
the  World.  American  advertising,  he  believes, 
is  leading  the  way  of  advertising  all  over  the 
world.  "We  in  England,"  he  says,  "are  trying 
to  follow  in  your  path."  The  English  mind,  he 
believes,  is  not  trained  to  use  our  exact  form  of 
advertising,  but  the  psychology  of  the  approach 
is  the  same.  Flamboyant  statements,  exaggera- 
tion and  humor,  are  quite  out  of  place  in  Eng- 
lish advertising. 

Unless  Sir  Charles  is  misquoted  in  the  papers, 
he  seems  surprised  that  the  writers  of  our 
advertisements  know  how  to  use  good  English. 
To  quote  from  the  press  interview  of  June  2nd : 
"I  am  increasingly  surprised  at  the  use  of  good 
English  here  in  advertising.    I  have  seen  really 


beautiful  English  written  in  American  adver- 
tisements." 

Church  Growth 

THE  success  of  Religious  Book  Week  and 
the  increasing  attention  that  it  helped  to 
give  to  the  place  of  the  printed  word  in  re- 
ligion gives  special  importance  to  the  figures 
now  being  printed  on  the  country's  increase  in 
church  membership.  Walter  Laidlaw,  special 
agent  for  the  Bureau  of  Census  in  Washing- 
ton, is  responsible  for  church  figures  that  show 
that  church  membership  has  increased  in  greater 
proportion  than  the  total  population.  The 
figures  used,  however,  do  not  give  the  growth 
for  1921,  but  cover  the  decade  from  1906  to 
1916.  During  this  period  the  church  member- 
ship increased  by  19.5%,  and  the  nation's  popu- 
lation by  17.1%.  The  totals  shown  are  for 
41,926,854  church  members.  Of  these,  25,000,- 
000  are  Protestant,  15,000,000  Roman  Catholic, 
and  1,000,000  Mormon,  Jewish  and  Eastern 
Catholic.

Making  the  Bookstore  a  Travel  Bureau 

Suggestions  for  Increasing  Summer  Business 


WHEN  it  comes  to  selling  books  in  sum- 
mei:,  the  alert,  widenaw^ke  bookjman 
makes  early  plans,  and  figures  out  in  advance 
how  he  can  best  attract  vacation  trade  and 
anticipate  the  wants  of  the  itinerant  summer 
reader.  One  bookselling  scheme  that  hasn't 
been  overworked  as  yet  and  that  is  quite  cer- 
tain to  bring  results  is  that  of  playing  up 
sectional  literature.  Advertising  books  that 
deal  with  a  particular  locality  or  district  which 
finds  favor  in  the  eyes  of  the  vacationist  is 
bound  to  pull,  since  the  people  are  always  eager 
to  read  about  the  pilace  where  they've  just 
been  or  to  which  they  are  planning  to  go. 

Why  not  cater  to  this  summer  demand  by 
advisiing  the  reading  public,  thru  display  cards 
and  newspaper  advertising,  that  your  store  is 
prepared  to  give  such  service,  that  your  clerks 
are  ready  to  make  suggestions  as  to  what  book 
or  books  are  helpful  in  getting  acquainted 
with  New  England  and  New  Englanders,  and 
what  works  lead  to  a  knowledge  of  the  West 
and  the  South,  of  Canada,  or  any  other  spot 
of  special  interest  to  the  seasonal  tourist? 

If  this  scheme  of  playing  up  sectional  litera- 
ture is  carried  out  to  its  full  possibiliies,  in- 
crease in  trade  along  two  distinct  channels  will 
result.  Both  the  avenues  of  approach  and  de- 
parture can  be  utilized  by  the  bookseller,  for, 
if  clever,  he  will  avail  himself  of  the  oppor- 
tunity to  push  books  about  the  home  town  and 
its  surrounding  country — these  are  always  in 
demand  by  the  tourist  visitor  to  the  city — and 
at  the  same  time  he  will  advertise  those  books 
of  other  localities  which  the  vacationing  public 
may  desire  to  take  along  as  helpful  guides  in 
their  summer  travels. 

Fiction,  reflecting  the  life  and  local  color  of 
a  particular  district,  should,  of  course,  find  its 
place  in  such  displays,  along  with  all  purely 
descriptive  books  of  travel.  Choice  as  to  just 
what  titles  should  be  featured  is  largely  de- 
pendent upon  the  judgment  of  the  individual 
?x)oksellcr.  He  knows  best  what  "goes"  in  his 
town  and  what  books  his  customers  are  most 
apt  to  call  for.  As  a  help  to  him,  however,  in 
making  up  any  sectional  list  of  fiction  books,

titles  as  William  Kirby's  'The  Golden  Dog," 
Gilbert  Parker's  "Seats  of  the  Mighty,"  "The 
Right  of  Way,"  William  Dean  Howells' 
"Their  Wedding  Journey,"  Norman  Duncan's 
"The  Way  of  the  Sea,"  Stewart  Edward 
White's  "Forest"  and  "The  Call  of  the 
North,"  and  that  most  recent  Canadian  novel 
"Maria  Chapdelaine"  by  Louis  Hemon,  and  the 
books  of  C.  D.  G,  Roberts,  Ralph  Connor, 
James  Oliver  Curwood.  Other  books  will 
readily  come  to  mind,  and  the  live  bookman 
of  IQ22  will  be  quick  to  adapt  the  list  to  meet 
the  demands  of  his  business. 


The  Florence  Book  Fair 

IN  the  London  Times  recently  there  appeared 
these  interesting  paragraphs  describing  the 
book  fair  at  Florence: 

"Florence  was  in  her  gayest  mood  for  the 
opening  of  the  International  Book  Fair,  which 
took  place  on  Sunday  morning.  May  7th,  1922. 
The  inauguration  ceremony  was  held  in  the 
grand  old  Hall  of  the  Five  Hundred,  in  the 
Palazzo  Vecchio.  This  hall  lends  itself  won- 
derfully to  such  ceremonies;  the  great  frescoes 
of  Vasari,  the  groups  of  sculpture,  to  which  has 
recently  been  added  the  Victory  of  Michael 
Angelo,  and  the  great  dais  with  its  crimson 
and  gold  chairs  for  the  dignitaries  form  a  set- 
ting which  has  few  equals. 

"The  Duke  of  Genoa,  uncle  of  the  King,  per- 
formed the  opening  ceremony.  A  quaint  touch 
was  added  to  the  proceedings  by  the  presence 
of  the  ten  trumpeters  of  the  Municipality,  in 
their  scarlet  and  white  fourteenth-century  cos- 
tumes. It  is  to  be  regretted  that  there  was  no 
one  to  speak  in  the  British  interest. 

"The  Book  Fair  is  the  first  exhibition  of  its 
kind  since  191 4,  when  the  Book  Fair  was  held 
at  Leipzig,  where  it  had  been  an  institution  for 
centuries.  The  most  important  part  of  the  ex- 
hibition is  housed  in  what  were  once  when 
Florence  was  the  capital  of  Italy,  the  Grand 
Ducal  stables,  which  have  been  charmingly 
decorated  by  a  Florentine  artist,  Signor  Gio- 
vanozzi.  The  building  stands  in  a  park  at  the 
end  of  the  Boiboli  Gardens,  now  lovely  in  their 
fresh  summer  dress. 

"The  British  exhibits  in  this  building,  tho 
choice,  are  limited,  and  it  is  to  be  regretted 
that  some  other  countries  make  a  better  show 
than  Great  Britain.  The  English  books  have 
been  got  together  by  Mr.  Spender,  the  presi- 
dent of  the  British  Institute  at  Florence,  who 
has  done  much  to  induce  English  publishers  to 
send  the  best  examples  of  their  workmanship. 

"The  exhibition  will  be  open  from  now  until 
the  end  of  July."

Summer  Window  Displays 

Reprinted   from   the    Year-Round  Bookselling  News 


SUMMER  sales  will  bring  a  rich  harvest 
to  the  dealer  who  uses  his  imagination 
and  a  little  extra  energy.  Frequent 
changes  of  window  display,  unique  newspaper 
advertisements,  parcel  post  delivery  to  cus- 
tomers at  summer  addresses,  attractive  circular 
announcements  sent  to  customers  going  on 
vacations  or  at  their  vacation  addresses,  lists 
of  books  for  children's  vacation  reading — ^these 
extra  efforts  will  be  well  repaid. 
A  few  suggestions  for  summer  windows: 

1.  Travel  folders,  with  time  tables  bor- 
rowed from  local  railroad  and  steamship  com- 
panies, displayed  with  books  on  travel,  moun- 
tains, lakes,  woods,  sea-shore,  nature  essays 
and  poetry.  All  books  that  give  the  impulse 
"Go— The  World  Awaits !"  The  railroad  and 
steamship  companies  whose  folders  you  dis- 
play will  reciprocate  by  exhibiting  your  sum- 
mer poster  "Take  Along  a  Book."  Send  for 
extra  copies. 

2.  Summer  sports  outfits,  with  books  on 
outdoor  sports.  Borrow  fishing  tackle  from  an 
outfitting  store,  or  tennis  racquets,  or  golf 
sticks;  surround  them  with  books  on  hiking, 
camping,  fishing,  swimming,  golf,  yachting, 
motor  boats,  tennis,  baseball,  etc.  Get  the 
sporting  goods  stores  to  show  your  "Take 
Along  a  Book"  poster  also. 

3.  A  window  that  suggests  leisure  will  help 
you  sell  recreational  reading — fiction,  short 
stories,  poetry — and  heavier  books  of  history, 
science  or  biography  that  men  and  women  have 
been  too  busy  to  read  during  the  winter.  A 
porch  swing  with  inviting  cushions  and  a 
couple  of  books;  a  canoe  (if  your  window  is 
big  enough)  ;  photographs,  sketches  and  cut- 
outs from  magazines  and  magazine  covers 
showing  inviting  summer  scenes  will  help  sell 
books  to  "take  along." 

4.  "Books  for  the  Week-End."  Feature  this 
two  or  three  times  during  the  summer  with 
window  displays  and  newspaper  advertise- 
ments. A  traveling  bag  half-packed,  half- 
open,  is  a  good  center  for  "books  for  the  week- 
end."   Books  of  convenient  size,  easily  carried, 


not  too  heavy,  are  most  appropriate  for  this. 
Get  the  leather  stores  to  use  your  silhouette 
poster  in  their  windows  during  the  weeks  when 
you  are  not  using  it.  Borrow  week-end  bags 
from  them  as  a  reciprocal  favor. 

5.  Children's  books  for  vacation  reading 
should  be  featured  two  or  three  times  in  June, 
July  and  August.  The  window  should  be  as 
attractive  as  at  any  time  during  the  year. 
Lists  should  be  distributed  in  the  store,  and 
mailed  to  customers.  Co-operate  with  chil- 
dren's librarian  at  the  public  library  in  pre- 
paring these.  Write  to  the  American  Library 
Association,  78  E.  Washington  Street,  Chicago, 
111.,  for  samples  of  vacation  reading  lists.  A 
letter  should  be  sent  to  school  principals  before 
the  close  of  school.  Get  in  touch  with  local 
directors  of  boys*  and  girls'  camps.  Every 
camp  should  have  a  library.  Use  the  page 
reprinted  from  July  Boys'  Life  pasted  on  your 
window  glass. 

6.  Books  as  gifts  to  vacationists  are  most 
appropriate.  Some  bookstores  make  up  "Bon

Flowers,  birds,  trees,  mushrooms,  butterflies, 
shells,  snakes,  fishes,  stars,  minerals :  the  books 
on  nature  make  a  fascinating  window,  especially 
if  many  of  them  are  displayed  open.  Use  glass 
weights  to  keep  them  open  and  visible  (May

8.  Books  on  summer  entertaining  are  very 
useful  and  are  not  very  well  known.  Books 
on  salads  and  sandwiches,  summer  drinks, 
porch  games,  camp  cooking,  group  games; 
l)ooks  on  amateur  theatricals  and  on  story- 
telling are  practical  summer  aids  to  hostesses. 

9.  Automobile  handbooks,  guides,  books  on 
repair,  maps  of  all  kinds  make  another  prac-

The  German  Book-Trade  Crisis' 


THE  Germans,  whose  economic  situation  is 
often  represented  to  us  as  very  flourish- 
ing, are  nevertheless  suffering  from  a 
financial  disorder  and  instability  which  has 
perhaps,  in  certain  cases,  called  forth  this  ap- 
parent prosperity  but  which  is  really  beget- 
ting serious  complications  and  a  dangerous  un- 
easiness ;  the  book-trade  papers  g'ive  us  numer- 
ous examples  of  it. 

It  has  been  enough  for  some  months  to 
glance  over  the  pages  of  the  Borsenhlatt  to 
understand  that  a  crisis,  growing  ever  more 
acute,  has  come  upon  the  German  book  in- 
dustry. There  have  just  been  some  important 
articles  published  showing  the  serious  extent 
of  this  and  setting  forth  its  consequences. 
Pressed  by  necessity,  encouraged  by  the  ex- 
perience of  the  Chriistmas  sales,  publishers  and 
booksellers  have  to  keep  raising  their  prices; 
whole  columns  of  the  Borsenblatt  contain  noth- 
ing but  announcements  of  increases  in  prices 
and  yet  everyone  admits  that  the  book  is 
"still  too  cheap."  The  causes  are  known;  as 
they  are  of  a  general  order,  everybody  admits 
that  there  are  practically  no  means  ot  remedy- 
ing them,  but  the  paint  where  opinions  differ 
is  on  the  subject  of  the  respective  rights  of 
the  bookseller  and  the  publisher  as  regards 
the  increased  expenses. 

"Since  the  beginning  of  the  year,"  says  Mr. 
Weitbrecht,  of  Stuttgart,  "net  costs  have  gone 
up  in  such  proportions  as  we  would  not  have 
believed  possible  in  January:  to  mention  paper, 
— what  was  worth  6  marks  last  fall  is  now 
worth  24  marks.  A  simple  half -cloth  bind- 
ing has  gone  from  .2  marks  to  10  marks,  70; 
printing  has  increased  tenfold;  today 
one  pays  for  a  16  page  octavo  signature, 
on  a  printing  of  5000,  677  marks  in- 
stead of  27  marks  which  was  the  pre-war 
price."  Besides,  the  general  expenses  of  the 
retailer  are  increasing  in  the  same  proportions ; 
the  discounts  which  formerly  permitted  him  to 
live  very  comfortably  from  the  book  business 
alone,  without  a  side  line  of  stationery  for  in- 
stance, are  no  longer  sufficient ;  they  are  ap- 
plied, nevertheless,  to  higher  list  prices  and, 
if  all  proportions  were  kept,  ought  to  satisfy 
him,  but  tbe  increase  in  price  is  too  rapid;  a 
discount  which  is  normal  at  the  time  when  the 
publisher  buys  his  paper  or  sends  it  to  press 
is  no  longer  so  when  the  work  comes  to  the 
lK)okseller;  two  months  later,  it  is  flatly  in- 
sufficient. To  increase  the  discount  without 
increasing  the  price  of  the  volume  is  not  to  he 
thought  of,  certain  publishers  have  tended 
rather  to  lower  it.  "We  have  fought  for  the 
differences  of  discount  of  5%  or  10%  as  if  our

safety  depended  on  it,"  says  the  Borsenblatt  of 
Apnil  15.  The  publisher  refuses  naturally  to 
increase  the  published  price  of  the  work  for 
the  saike  of  allowing  a  higher  discount.  Never- 
theless he  is  obliged  to  come  to  it. 

There  is  thus  a  constant  conflict  between 
these  twO',  the  bookseller,  on  the  one  hand,  who 
pays  his  employees  more  every  day,  sees  new 
taxes  added  to  old  ones  and  expenses  rising  with 
a  dizzying  rapidity,  and,  on  the  other,  the  pub- 
lisher who  after  he  has  once  established  his 
rate  of  discount  and  paid  his  printer,  tries  to 
check  the  increase  of  the  list  price  so  as  not 
to  hurt  the  sale.  This  conflict  is  aggravated 
by  the  fact  that  the  bookseller,  forseeing  a 
certain  increase,  buys  more  than  he  can  pay 
for,  the  publisher  finds  himself  in  his  turn 
pressed  for  money  and  there  results  constant 
friction,  lack  of  coniidence  and  a  confusion 
that  increases  from  day  to  day. 

The  remedies  that  are  proposed  for  this  can- 
not prevent  the  crisis  and  do  not  pretend  to. 
As  it  is  general,  it  is  generally  accepted.  Labor 
laws,  such  as  the  eight-<hour  law,  strictly  ap- 
plied, are  not  held  accountable ;  all  that  is  at- 
tempted is  to  find  the  most  comfortable  w^ay 
of  drifting  with  the  current  and  avoiding  bumps. 
The  publisher  must  understand  the  bookseller's 
predicament  and  accept  regular  increases  in 
the  list  price.  He  might  be  able  to  fix  a 
minimum  price  and  announce  each  month  what 
rate  of  increase  he  would  allow;  a  more  in- 
genious scheme  would  be  to  hx  the  price  of 
the  book  'in  gold  marks,  and  have  an  index 
established  by  the  "Syndicat  des  Editeurs"  to 
indicate  the  corresponding  value  in  paper  marks, 
following  the  fluctuations^  in  the  cost  of  living 
and  the  purchasing  power  of  silver. 

It  is  well  understood  that  all  these  measures 
are.  practicable  only  so  far  as  confidence  re- 
turns. The  attitude  of  the  two  parties  does 
not  always  offer  much  chance  for  hope.  A  con- 
ference at  which  both  sides  were  represented 
has  just  been  held  at  Leipzig;  the  following 
resolution  was  passed  after  tiresoime  discus- 
sion: '^Booksellers,  in  so  far  as  they  have  not 
agreed  to  contrary  conditions,  may  increase 
the  list  prices ;  they  shall  organize  as  a  group 
to  determine  in  common  the  amount  of  these 
increases."  But  "publishers  shall  not  be  bound 
to  observe  these  increases  in  their  direct  sales; 
at  the  most  they  shall  charge  express  and  pack- 
ing ex.penses  to  the  account  of  their  client." 
Reservations  of  this  sort  cause  some  of  the 
energetic  spirits  to  declare  themselves  in  favor 
of  more  radical  measures. 

This  is  the  salient  point  of  the  crisis;  it  is 
perhaps  not  the  most  serious  one.  We  will 
confine  ourselves  to  quoting  a  few  figures  from 


June  10,  1922 

a  series  of  articles  by  Mr.  StoU  {Borsenblatt, 
no.  91,  92,  and  following).  A  publisher  saw 
in  19 14,  the  possibility  of  making  an  edition 
of  1000  of  a  scientific  work  whose  price  he 
fixed  at  20  marks  (14  net).  He  advanced  6000 
marks  for  that  purpose  and  counted  in  another 
2000  marks  for  his  general  expenses.  The  sajle 
of  800  copies  brought  him  in  11,200  marks  (call 
it  11,000),  of  which  he  got  3000  marks  profit. 
Out  of  that  he  had  1500  marks  for  his  current 
salary  and  1500  marks  put  back  in  the  busi- 
ness, that  is  a  quarter  of  the  sum  advanced, 
and  200  copies  in  stock. 

Let  us  suppose  now  that  this  work,  printed 
before  the  war  did  not  sell  immediately;  with 
the  aid  of  the  depreciated  mark,  it  finally  sold 
entirely  in  sp)ite  of  an  increase  of  400%.  We 
suppose  that  the  general  expenses  were  no  more 
than  tripled,  and  we  arrive  at  the  following 
figures : 

Printing   6000;    expenses   6000;    total    12,000. 

Receipts  60,000;  profit  48,000. 

Out  of  that  our  man  has  to  take  12,000  for 
his  current  salary,  and  has  left  36,000  marks 
which  he  adds  to  his  capital  bringing  it  up  to 
42,000  marks.  This  profit  is  more  apparent 
than  real,  says  Mr.  StoU  as  "the  increase  of 
prices  is  such  that  a  reprint  or  the  publication 
of  a  wonk  of  the  same  value  would  cost  ac- 
tually 125,000  marks.  There  is  therefore  in 
reality  an  economac  loss  of  two-thirds." 


Austrian  American  Copyright 
Reciprocity — 

ON  May  29,  copyright  protection  was  ex- 
tended to  the  citizens  of  Austria  by 
proclamation  made  by  President  Harding  thru 
Secretary  Hughes.  Similar  copyright  protec- 
tion to  that  provided  by  the  iVmerican  copy- 
right act  of  1909  had  already  been  extended 
to  the  works  of  American  citizens  by  Austria. 
President  Harding's  proclamation  read,  in 
part: 

"That  the  provisions  specified  in  the  act  of 
December  18,  1919,  now  exist  and  are  fulfilled 
in  respect  to  the  citizens  of  Austria,  and  that 
Austrian  citizens  are  entitled  to  all  benefits 
of  the  said  copyright  act,  approved  Decem- 
ber 18,  1919,  subject  to  the  exception  specified 
in  the  aforesaid  proclamation  of  April  9,  1910; 

"Provided  that  the  enjoyment  by  any  work 
to  v/hich  the  provisions  of  this  proclamation 
relate  of  the  rights  and  benefits  conferred 
by  the  copyright  act  approved  December  18, 
1919,  shall  be  conditional  upon  compliance 
with  the  formalities  prescribed  with  resx>ect 
to  such  works  by  the  copyright  laws  of  the 
United  States,  and  shall  commence  from  and 
after    compliance    with    those     requirements,

constituting  registration  for  copyright  in  the 
United  States. 

"Nothing  in  this  proclamation  shall  be  con- 
strued to  abrogate  or  limit  any  rights  and 
benefits  conferred  under  the  reciprocal 
arrangements  with  Austria  providing  for  the 
copyright   protection    heretofore    proclaimed."

The  Publishers'   Weekly 


The  Earliest  Book  Fairs 


WHILE  in  this  country  the  possibilities  of 
Book  Fairs  are  being  discussed  and  ex- 
periments beginning  to  be  made,  in  Eu- 
rope the  Book  Fair  is  a  time-honored  institu- 
tion, dating  back  to  antiquity.  Last  year  there 
was  reopened  in  Germany  the  old  Frankfort 
book  fair  which  had  not  been  held  since  the 
middle  of  the  eighteenth  century,  but  previous 
to  that  it  had  a  yearly  celebration  from  the  year 
1462.  The  story  of  it  had  been  written  up  in 
connection  with  the  reopening  of  the  fair,  in 
a  volume  entitled  "Zur  Geschichteder  Frank- 
furter Biichermesse"  and  the  London  Times 
prints  tiie  following  from  its  contents: 

"The  story  is  an  extremely  interesting  one, 
for  it  takes  us  back  to  the  very  beginning  of 
the  traffic  in  printed  books  and  introduces  us 
again  to  all  kinds  of  famous  men;  scholars, 
printers  and  publishers  crowding  to  the  neigh- 
borhood of  the  Buchgasse  twice  a  year  in  Lent 
and  October  from  every  corner  of  Europe. 

"Booksellers  of  all  nationalities  began  to 
meet  there  to  barter,  to  collect  their  debts,  to 
arrange  for  fresh  credits,  to  sound  the  require- 
ments of  the  reading  public,  and  later  to  quarrel 
bitterly  over  returns  and  imperfect  copies. 
Scholars  assembled  to  inform  themselves  as  to 
the  trend  of  literary  thought  and  expression, 
while  burghers,  citizens,  and  peasants  flocked 
there  to  buy  the  picture-books  of  the  day,  the 
chronicles  and  histories,  gladly  paying  five 
Reichstahaler  for  Miinster's  'Cosmographia' 
and  carrying  it  home  presumably  on  a  cart 
brought  specially  for  the  purpose,  since  not 
even  the  pockets  of  Doctor  Johnson's  famous 
traveling  coat  could  have  sheltered  such  a  monu- 
mental tome. 

"Among  the  many  notable  printers  and  pub- 
lishers (to  take  the  sixteenth  century  alone)  who 
appear  in  Dr.  Dietz's  pages  under  the  head  of 
Foreigners  we  find  John  Norton  and  John 
Bill  buying  books  for  Sir  Thomas  Bodley, 
Henri  Estienne  making  notes  for  his  work  on 
the  fair.  Amerbach  and  Froben  from  Basel, 
the  latter  hastening  his  end  by  his  determina- 
tion to  make  the  journey  in  1526;  Giles  Elze- 
vier  from  Leyden;  Christopher  Plantin  from 
Antwerp;  and  many  others.  Plantin  and  his 
stepson  Moretus  have  left  us  some  interesting 
details  concerning  their  journeys  to  and  from 
Frankfort.  They  traveled  to  the  Lent  Fair 
of  1566,  Plantin  as  far  as  Cologne  by  wagon, 
presumably  wnth  the  stock,  and  Moretus  on 
foot.  At  Cologne  they  met  and  proceeded  by 
boat  up  the  Rhine,  and  thus  to  Frankfort.  On 
this  occasion  the  travelers  returned  in  safety 
which  was  by  no  means  always  the  case,  for 
their  assistant  making  the  same  journey  two 
years  later  was  robbed  and  captured  by  sol- 
diers. 


"Dr.  Dietz  gives  some  interesting  particulars 
of  literary  piracy — a  sin  which  is  almost  as 
old  as  the  art  of  printing  itself.  In  the  early 
days  of  the  Reformation  Luther's  works  drew 
all  eyes  to  Wittenberg,  and  hardly  had  his 
translation  of  the  Bible  appeared  there  in  1534 
when  Egenolff,  of  Frankfort,  pirated  it  with 
woodcuts  by  Beham,  while  Feyerabend,  an- 
other printer  whose  Rubles  soon  began  to  com- 
pete with  those  of  Wittenberg,  was  the  sub- 
ject of  a  special  broadsheet  which  was  cried 
after  him  in  the  Leipzig  market  and  in  the 
streets  and  byways. 

"In  1620  the  Frankfort  Book  Fair  was  still 
at  its  height.  Then  came  the  Thirty  Years' 
War  and  other  troubles,  and  between  1680  and 
1690  it  began  to  collapse.  The  foreigners  ceased 
to  frequent  it  and  went  to  Leipzig.  The  big 
firms  commenced  to  fail,  and  'by  1719  it  was 
reported  that  the  Frankfort  bookshops  were 
little  better  than  drinking-dens.  The  last  cata- 
log appeared  after  186  years  at  the  Easter  Fair 
in  1750.  Fourteen  years  later  a  notable  book- 
dealer  traveling  to  Frankfort  for  the  last  time 
writes:  'At  the  last  fair  I  and  other  strangers 
took  leave  of  Frankfort,  and  the  book  fairs 
so  to  speak,  lie  buried.'  " 

The  P.  E.  F. 

"HTHE  P.  E.  F.  is  in  full  cry.  And  not  cry- 
*  ing  in  a  wilderness  either,"  says  George 
Palmer  Putnam  in  the  New  York  Herald. 
"And  what  is  the  P.  E.  F.?  The  Publishers 
Expeditionary  Force,  of  course.  It's  the  an- 
tithesis, professionally  and  nationally,  of  the 
B.  O.  L.,  as  the  British  Overseas  Lecturers 
are  styled — a  powerful  body,  that. 

"I  refer,  without  intended  disrespect,  to  the 
annual  egress  of  American  publishers  to  Lon- 
don, there  to  seek  whom  they  may  secure.  Cer- 
tainly without  disrespect,  for  I  myself  am.  in 
a  modest  way,  a  member  of  the  itinerant  organi- 
zation. Entitled  to  a  P.  E.  F.  service  stripe, 
too,  being  only  recently  returned  from  foreign 
campaigning  in  the  happily  unprohibited  capital 
of  that  Empire  upon  whose  authors  the  sun 
never  sets,  tho  their  royalties  often  rise. 

"Just  now  it  is  the  open  season  for  both  the 
P.  E.  F.  and  the  B.  O.  L.  While  many  of  our 
most  sportsmanlike  publishers  are  in  London 
pursuing  nimble  authors  from  club  to  club — 
with  alluring  discourse  anent  advance  payments 
and  the  like,  I  do  believe  the  trade  balance, 
as  the  economists  say,  is  against  us.  Interna- 
tionally speaking,  we  are  outnumbered.  For 
almost  without  doubt  the  host  of  'British  Over- 
seas Lecturers'  on  the  receiving  line  here  in 
America  exceeds  the  quota  of  our  foreign  con- 
tingent."

English  Book-Trade  News 

(From  Our  London  Correspondent) 


c, 


S.  EVANS,  of  Heinemann's,  delivered 
^  recently  a  very  able  and  pertinent  ad- 
dress in  connection  with  the  series  of 
lectures  arranged  by  the  Society  of  Bookmen 
on  the  vital  question  "Are  Book  Prices  Too 
j  Cheap?"  It  seems  at  the  outset,  he  said,  a 
simple  question  with  the  answer,  "no."  We 
ourselves  feel  that  booiks  are  published  at  too 
cheap  a  price.  But  the  book  buying  public  in 
Great  Britain  has,  by  use,  come  to  expect  books 
i  to  be  sold  at  an  absurdly  low  price,  and  it  is 
I  time  they  learned  that  what  is  worth  having  is 
'  worth  paying  for.  Even  with  the  evidence  of 
cost  of  production,  which  Mr.  Evans  placed  so 
clearly  before  his  critical  audience,  books  are 
published  at  prices  far  and  away  too  low. 
Our  lecturer,  whose  experience  is  wide  and 
long,  said  that  it  might  fairly  be  asked  "Can 
a  book  ever  be  too  cheap  ?"  And  our  reply  is, 
decidedly  in  the  affirmative.  Let  someone  se- 
cure something  for  nothing  without  earning 
it,  in  other  words,  at  so  cheap  a  rate  that  it 
has  no  value,  and  the  possession  will  lose  a 
large  portion  of  its  importance.  Why  the 
great  things  in  old  and  new  literature  should 
be  distributed  like  tracts — ^and  the  public  seems 
to  expect  it ! — ^is  beyond  our  comprehension. 
The  price  paid  for  the  few  years  precedhig  the 
war,  at  least  for  the  novel,  was  6s.  And  now 
all  that  is  paid  is  is.  6d.  more.  This,  too,  in  spite 
of  the  fact  that  the  cost  of  production  today 
is  very  much  higher  than  it  used  to  be.  He 
went  on  to  say,  "Composition  is  three  times 
as  much  as  it  was  before  the  war ;  paper,  tho 
less  than  it  has  'been,  is  still  twice  as  costly 
as  before  the  war;  while  the  cost  of  blocks,  of 
advertising,  of  salaries,  of  light,  of  rent,  and 
other  overhead  charges  were  two  or  three  times 
higher  than  it  used  to  be."  Then,  we  would 
add,  binding  is  about  twice  as  high,  and  we 
have  held  and  still  hold  that  published  prices 
of  books  are  too  low.  It  is  all  a  matter  of 
education,  and  wise  propaganda.  We  feel  that 
the  book  was  priced  too  low  before  the  war,  to 
use  the  much  worn  phrase,  and  in  comparison 
with  what  it  costs  to  make  a  book  today,  to 
run  an  English  bookstore  or  a  publishing  house, 
it  is  even  cheaper  today.  Our  estimate  is  that 
books  cost  anything  up  to  300%  more  than  they 
did  in  the  dear  old  quiet  days  anterior  to 
August  4,  1914.  Yet  the  6s.  novel  is,  nowadays, 
published  at,  on  the  average  7s.  6d.,  or  ex- 
actly 25%  higher.  The  particular  phrase  in  Mr. 
Evans's  most  helpful  address  which  we  like 
best  is  "If  books  were  cheaper,  more  might  be 
sold,  but  if  the  prices  were  higher  the  standard 
might'  he    higher."     To    expect   to   get   a   6s. 


pre-war  novel  at  6s.  when  the  production  costs 
were  two  or  three  hundred  per  cent  higher  is 
impossible.  It  is  time  to  let  the  publisher 
and  bookseller  live, 

Booklovers  in  London,  says  a  well-known 
writer  in  the  London  Weekly  Dispatch,  will 
welcome  the  formation  of  the  First  Edition 
Club,  with  offices  and  rooms  at  17  Pall  Mall 
East.  To  those  who  are  indifferent  to  the  in- 
dividuality of  a  book  this  club  will  naturally 
have  no  appeal,  but  for  those  whose  liking  for 
literature  includes  an  appreciation  of  what  the 
book  itself  can  imean  this  club  stands  for  a 
great  deal. 

An  interesting  proposal  by  the  organizers  is 
to  secure  for  members  first  editions  which  are 
actually  fully  subscribed  by  the  trade  before 
puiblicatiion  and  then  issued  at  a  booksellers* 
premium.  The  collected  works  of  Conrad  offer 
a  case  in  illustration. 

An  index  of  communications  from  members 
will  be  kept  at  the  clulb  rooms. 

To  collectors  of  Conrad  who  read  these 
columns  I  may  say  that  a  first  edition  of  his 
"Tales  of  Unrest"  is  available;  and  to  those 
who  are  seeking  a  Valima  edition  of  Stevenson's 
works  copies  are  now  finding  their  way  into 
the  booksellers',  and  the  prices  are  not  ex- 
orbitantly high. 

The  Club  has  excellent  premises  and  ought 
to  be  very  successful.  There  are  some  very 
interesting  stories  to  be  told  about  "Buying 
Books  for  a  Rise,"  and  we  heard  of  one  man 
the  other  day  who  makes  a  good  thing  out  of  his 
financing  busiiness  and  who  adds  to  his  income 
by  buying  and  selling  first  editions  and  clearing 
several  hundred  a  year  out  of  it.  Probably 
an  exaggeration,  but  a  lot  of  .people  are  trying 
to  do  it,  only  it  is  an  art,  and  unless  you  can 
spot  the  Masefields  and  the  Conrads  and  the 
Beerbohms  of  the  future,  it  had  better  l)e  left 
alone.  Incidentally  we  might  mention  here  a 
new  collector's  book  by  Michael  Sadleir,  the 
author  of  the  clever  novel  "Privilege."  Mr. 
Sadleir  is  a  great  expert  on  the  Victorian 
period  and  has  probably  the  finest  collection 
of  Victorian  novelists  of  any  collector  in  Lon- 
don. He  has  just  published  thru  Messrs. 
Chaundy  and  Co.  "Excursions  in  Victorian 
Bibliography."  It  is  published  in  a  limited 
edition  of  a  thousand  opies,  and  there  will  l)e 
no  American  edition.  It  was  issued  at  21s. 
net,  and  there  is  a  rush  for  it  by  collectors. 
It  will  soon  be  at  a  premium.  There  is  also 
just  out  a  very  beautiful,  signed,  limited  edi- 
tion of  Lord  Dunsany's  fine  new  romance  of 
the  golden  age  of  Spain  entitled  "The  Chroni- 


It  1^6 


The  Publishers'   Weekly 


clcs  of  Rodrigues."  It  is  being  issued  at  3s.  3d., 
and  no  Dunsany  enthusiast  will  be  content  to 
live  long  before  possessing  it. 

Joseph  Anthony's  "The  Gang"  is  doing  well 
in  England-  He  is  being  "gossiped"  about  in 
the  press.  Here  is  one  paragraph :  "The  au- 
thor of  'The  Gang,'  a  searching  and  humorous 
first-hand  study  of  life  among  the  'hoodlums 
or  youngsters  of  the  New  York  pavements, 
just  issued  by  Mr.  Cape,  is  Mr.  Joseph  An- 
thony, to  whom  the  Century  Magazme  has 
lately  confided  its  interests  here  in  Lxjndon.  He 
has  manv  qualifications  for  both  parts,  but  par- 
ticularly' for  knowing  about  the  knock-about 
life  of  New  Yoiik."

Vienna  Pirating  French  Books 

THE  Paris  paper  La  Renaissance  prints  an 
article  stating  that  French  books,  copy- 
righted under  the  Berne  Convention  are  being 
pirated  in  Vienna  by  a  firm  named  Alanz.  Tliis 
firm  is  reprinting  books  by  such  writers  as 
Flaubert,  Gautier,  Hugo  and  others.  Some  of 
these  books  bear  the  statement,  "The  importa- 
tion of  this  volume  is  forbidden  in  France  and 
in  the  French  Colony."  Still  others  show  no 
restrictaons.  The  Syndicat  des  Editeurs,  Paris, 
is  protesting  vigorously  and  is  prepared  to 
protect  booksellers  where  these  books  appear. 


Use  of  Window  Display  Material 

THE  modern  art  of  preparing  display  ma- 
terial for  windows  has  provided  many 
effective  selling  campaigns  in  the  book-trade, 
and  with  the  development  of  this  type  of  ad- 
vertising there  is  always  the  question  of  its 
very  considerable  expense.  Booksellers  have 
sometimes  too  lightly  accepted  such  displays 
and  used  them  or  not  as  conditions  developed, 
and  publishers  have  sometimes  felt  that  too 
heavy  a  percentage  of  the  material  shipped 
failed  to  be  put  into  efTective  use.  in  order 
to  ascertain  certain  points  about  display  and 
the  attitude  of  retailers  toward  this  material, 
and  in  order  that  publishers  might  prepare 
and  send  out  displays  in  the  form  desired  by 
the  greatest  number  of  users,  one  of  the  large 
manufacturers  of  displays,  the  Michael  Gross 
Company,  sent  a  questionnaire  to  booksellers 
on  the  subject  and  has  tabulated  replies  re- 
ceived from  509  firms.  The  replies  were  as 
follows : 

80%  preferred  cardboard  to  paper  display 
material. 

7S%  preferred  small  units  of  display  (size 
not  exceeding  22  x  28).  2%  used  nothing  but 
counter  cards  6%  liked  large  displays  if  of 
a  very  popular  author.  13%  like  large  dis- 
plays to  suit  large  winows. 

43%  preferred  to  have  the  displays  shipped 
with  the  books,  claiming  that  they  were  much 
more  sure  of  being  used.  39%  preferred 
separate  shipment,  claiming  that  they  thus  ar- 
rive in  better  condition. 

76%  had  no  objection  to  the  price  of  the 
books  appearing  on  the  display. 

63%  stated  that  they  preferred  that  the  pub- 
lisher's name  should  not  appear.  15%  said  it 
made  no  difference.  12%  preferred  to  have 
the  publisher's  name  on.  10%  could  see  no 
reason  for  its  appearing. 

90%  reported  that  material  sent  was  being 
used.  4%  never  used  it  (mostly  department 
stores.)  2%  used  counter  cards  only — a  few 
preferred  to  make  their  own.

A  Week's  Gleanings  of  Book-Trade  News 


How  DOES  an 
author  choose  a 
title  for  his  novel? 
It  isn't  easy,  ac- 
cording to  Cosmo 
Hamilton,  w  h  o 
waited  months  be- 
fore finding  just 
the  right  name  for 
his  latest  success. 
"What  I  wanted," 
he  said,  "was  a 
phrase  which 
would  sum  up 
woman,  some  word 

which    would    ex- 

press  the  essence  of 

femininity,  some-  krentano's  display  of 
thing  that  would  rustle  of  silk"  against 
symbolize  to  a  man  mkring  b 

all  the  attributes  of 

the  other  sex.  Then  one  evening,  walk- 
ing up  Fifth  Avenue,  my  eye  caught  the  sheen 
of  color  in  Mallinson's  window.  Instantly  the 
phrase  came,  coining  itself— "The  Rustle  of 
Silk." 

There  are  indications  that  a  revival  of 
historical  romances  has  begun,  Donn  Byrne's 
exquisite  "Messer  Marco  Polo"  is  one  straw 
that  shows  the  way  the  wind  blows,  and  Edgar 
Lee  Masters's  new  novel,  "Children  of  the 
Market  Place,"  a  study  of  Douglas,  is  another. 

The  pressure  of  war  costs  affected  no  class 
of  books  more  drastically  than  the  many  series 
that  had  been  in  the  market  of  little  classics 
bound  in  flexible  leather.  The  leather  became 
not  only  impossibly  high  but  was  very  difficult 
to  obtain  in  any  uniform  shades  in  any  coun- 
try. The  bookseller  and  public  have  missed 
these  series,  and  changed  conditions  in  the 
leather  market  will  now  bring  about  the  ap- 
pearance of  the  little  classics  in  the  bookstores. 
A,  new  publishing  firm  has  just  entered  this 
field.  The  Williams-Barker  Company,  of  81 
Prospect  Street,  Brooklyn.  This  firm  has  been 
in  the  stationery  field,  and,  being  equipped  for 
large  edition  work  in  flexible  leather,  has  turned 
this  facility  to  book  production.  It  has  put 
out  a  50c  series  that  now  runs  to  28  volumes 
entitled  The  Gold  Medal  Library,  bound  in 
genuine  leather  with  gold  stamping.  The  series 
contains  many  familiar  titles  such  as  "The 
Rubaiyat"  and  "The  Greatest  Thing  in  the 
World,"  and  also  such  great  .American  docu- 
ments as  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States 
and  the   Declaration   of   Independence. 


James  Milne, 
writing  in  the 
London  Graphic, 
says  that  after  A. 
S.  M.  Hutchinson's 
"If  Winter 
Comes,"  which  is 
incontestably  the 
best  seller  in  Eng- 
land, the  three 
novels  most  in  de- 
mand are  Ernest 
Raymond's  "TeH 
England,"  "The 
Way  of  Revela- 
tion," by  Wilfrid 
COSMO     HAMILTON'S    ''THE       Ewart,    and    "The 

AN  APPROPRIATE  AND  SHIM-  Love        Story        O  f 

'^"^^«ou^°-  Aliette      Bruntoa'^ 

by  Gilbert 
Frankau.  Arnold  Bennett's  "Mr.  Prohack"  is 
easily  the  best  seller  among  May  publications. 
Another  notable  success  is  A.  A.  Milne's  "The 
Red  House  Mystery."  All  but  one  of  these 
novels  has  been  published  in  America. 

English  Critics  have  recently  awarded  high 
tribute  to  the  work  of  an  American  author,  to 
wit:  Frederick  Chamberlain's  "Private  Char- 
acter of  Queen  Elizabeth."  The  London  Sun- 
day Timrs  awards  it  first  place  w^ith  Strachey's 
"Queen  Victoria,"  among  the  really  noticeable 
books  of  historical  biography  published  during 
the  past  year.  The  Fortnightly  Review  in  its 
consideration  of  the  literature  of  1921  awards 
Mr.  Chamberlain's  book  third  place  among  the 
biographies,  only  Lady  Cecil's  "Life  of  Lord 
Salisbury"  and  Strachey's  "Queen  Victoria" 
baing  given  i)rece<lence. 

The  Bible  is  always  a  rich  source  of  effec- 
tive titles.  Recent  cases  in  point  are  Margaret 
Deland's  "The  Vehement  Flame"  taken  from 
the  Song  of  Solomon,  "Love  is  strong  as 
death ;  jealousy  is  cruel  as  the  grave :  the  coals 
thereof  are  coals  of  fire  which  hath  a  most 
vehement  flame";  .\.  S.  M.  Hutchinson's  novel 
to  be  published  in  the  fall,  "This  Freedom/' 
draws  its  title  from  the  Book  of  Acts,  from 
one  of  Paul's  dramatic  conversations,  "Then  the 
chief  captain  came,  and  said  unto  him,  tell  me, 
art  thou  a  Roman?  He  said,  Yea.  And  the 
chief  captain  answiered,  with  a  great  sum 
obtained  I  this  freedom.  .And  Paul  said,  But 
I  was  free  born.

THE    HADDON    PRESS,    ^TEW    PRINTING   PLANT    OF    HARPER    &    BROTHERS. 


Harper  &  Brothers'  New  Press 

HARPER  &  BROTHERS,  the  publishers, 
who  recently  announced  that  they  would 
move  from  the  quarters  which  they  have  owned 
and  occupied  for  more  than  one  hundred  years 
in  Franklin  Square,  have  installed  their  me- 
chanical department  in  the  building  just  com- 
pleted for  them  at  Federal  and  19th  Streets. 
Camden,  New  Jersey.  The  July  i,ssue  of 
Harper's  Magazine  is  in  process  of  printing, 
there,  now. 

The  new  printing  plant,  which  will  be  known 
as  The  Haddon  Press  will  also  do  composition, 
press  work  and  binding  for  other  publishers. 

The  Camden  plant  occupies  at  present,  a 
plot,  90  X  420.  An  adjoining  building  of  the 
same  size  is  contemplated.  The  plot  has  its 
own  railroad  siding,  and  it  is  expected  that  a 
substation  of  the  United  States  Post  Office 
will  be  located  in  the  building,  which  is  a 
modern  one  in  every  particular,  entirely  in- 
closed in  glass  so  that  the  use  of  artificial  light- 
ing is  unnecessary. 

Various  sites  are  now  being  considered  for 
a  new  Harper  Building  which  will  house  the 
executive  offices  and  editorial  departments. 


Change  of  Publisher 

itTTHE  Way  of  Revelation"  by  Wilfrid 
A  Ewart,  which  has  been  reported  several 
times  this  spring  as  among  the  best  sellers  in 
England,  was  published  and  copyrighted  on 
May  I2th  by  D.  Appleton  &  Company  from 
type  set  in  this  country.  Putnam's  had  pre- 
vioulsy  imported  English  sheets  but  had  not 
undertaken  to  reprint  on  this  side,  and  the 
author  made  arrangements  with  Appleton. 
The  printing  of  the  book  had  to  be  rushed 
thru  rapidly,  in  order  to  complete  its  manufac- 
ture within  the  prescribed  four  months  from 
date  of  ])ublication.  In  the  Summer  Reading 
number  of  the  Publishers'  Weekly,  the  name 
of  the  publisher  was  incorrectly  given. 


Publicity  Development 

A  CONCRETE  testimony  of  the  new  ap- 
^~*  preciation  of  the  importance  of  publicity 
is  shown  in  the  plan  for  a  series  of  five  lec- 
tures on  "Writing  Library  News"  which  will 
be  given  at  Detroit  during  the  American  Li- 
brary Association  conference,  if  sufficient  de- 
mand develops.  Professor  Willard  G.  Bleyer. 
author  of  well-known  books  on  journalism, 
and  director  of  a  course  in  journalism  at  the 
University  of  Wisconsin,  has  been  asked  to 
give  the  series,  the  fee  to  be  $2.  It  is  also 
interesting  to  note  that  there  is  a  movement 
at  Harvard  to  have  a  professor  of  publicity, 
to  give  this  subject  a  place  in  the  college 
curriculum. 

The  Publisher 

Bless  all  the  Stars  that  ever  were 
That  I  am  not  a  Publisher 
Who  groans  beneath  the  Midnight  Taper 
Computing  Costs  of  Ink  and  Paper ! 
A  sorry  Lot  is  his,  indeed, 
Imprinting  Books  he  scorns  to  read- 
Pedantic  Essays,  gloomy  Novels 
That  feature  horrid  Slums  and  Hovels, 
Alleged  Poetics  raw  and  rough, 
And  awful  Pollyanna  Stuff. 
With  Stacks  of  Volumes,  vital,  gripping, 
Idyllic,  virile,  simply  ripping. 
Produce  he  must,  tho  Critics  jeer, 
At  least  Three  Classics  every  Year. 
And  then— and  Nothing  makes  him  wrother,— 
He  has  to  pay  the  lazy  Author, 
Who  never  really  earned  his  Rent, 
A  Royalty  of  Ten  Per  Cent !

Obituary  Notes 

MARION   HARLAND 

Marion  Harland,  Mrs.  Mary  Virginia  Ter- 
hune,  died  at  her  home  in  N.  Y.  C,  June  4th. 
She  was  born  in  Amelia  County,  Virginia,  De- 
cember 2ist,  1831.  She  was  the  daughter  of 
Samuel  Pierce  Hawes.  At  the  age  of  four- 
teen she  contributed  an  anonymous  article  to 
a  Richmond  newspaper.  Two  years  later  a 
sketch  by  her  was  published  in  Godey's. 
Ladies'  Magazine  and  was  reprinted  in  Eng- 
land and  France.  Her  first  novel,  "Alone," 
was  published  in  1854  and  was  a  decided  suc- 
cess. In  1856  she  married  the  Rev.  Edward 
Payson  Terhune.  She  was  editor  of  a  num- 
ber of  periodical  and  magazine  departments. 
Babyhood,  Wide  Awake,  St.  Nicholas,  Home- 
maker.  She  wrote  a  number  of  novels,  but  she 
was  probably  best  known  thru  her  works  on 
domestic  science.  The  first  of  these,  "Common 
Sense  in  the  Household,"  published  in  1872, 
was  the  first  really  practical  and  well-written 
work  of  its  kind  and  sold  100,000  copies  in 
ten  years. 

Mrs.  Terhune  was  the  mother  of  Christine 
Terhune  Herrick,  with  whom  she  collaborated 
in  "The  National  Cook  Book";  Virginia  Ter- 
hune Vandewater,  with  whom  she  collaborated 
in  "Everyday  Etiquette,"  and  Albert  Payson 
Terhune,  the  well-known  writer,  with  whom 
she  collaborated  in  "Dr.  Dale,"  a  novel,  all  of 
whom  survive  her.     Her  husband  died  in  1907. 

Among  her  most  characteristic  books  were: 
"Alone";  "Common  Sense  in  the  Household"; 
"National  Cook  Book";  "Old  Field  School 
Girl";  "Sunnybank";  "From  My  Youth  Up"; 
"Some  Colonial  Homesteads";  "More  Colonial 
Homesteads";  1899;  "Where  Ghosts  Walk"; 
"Literary  Hearthstones" ;  "Marion  Harland's 
Complete  Cook  Book" ;  "Where  Ghosts  Walk" ; 
2nd  series,  1910;  "Marion  Harland's  Auto- 
biography," 1911;  "Prepared  Am.  Edition  of 
Reader's  Handbook" ;  "Everyday  Etiquette" ; 
"A  Long  Lane — ^A  Chronicle  of  Old  New  Jer- 
sey";  "The  Carringtons  oi  High  Hill,  An  Old 
Virginia    Chronicle." 


GEORGE  HOHENSTEIN 

George  Hohenstein,  of  Barnes  and  Noble, 
New  York,  died  of  pneumonia,  on  May  24th. 
He  entered  the  service  of  Hinds  &  Noble  as 
an  errand  boy  and  remained  with  that  house, 
and  its  successors,  until  death  ended  a  connec- 
tion of  over  thirty  years,  a  record  alike  credit- 
able to  employee  and  employer.  In  a  changing 
period  like  the  present  it  is  a  noteworthy  dis- 
tinction to  render  faithful  service  to  one  house 
during  one's   entire  career. 


1699 

ALEXANDER  McCONNELL 

Alexander  McConnell,  manager  for  many 
years  of  the  Chicago  House  of'  the  Fleming 
H.  Revel  1  Company,  died  at  the  Evanston 
Hospital  on  June  ist.  In  the  trade  he  was 
widely  known,  highly  esteemed  and  warmly 
appreciated  for  his  real  worth.  He  had 
reached  the  ripe  age  of  seventy-five  and  had 
been  associated  with  the  Revell  house  for 
nearly  thirty-five  years,  prior  to  which  he  had 
been  the  representative  of  the  American  Tract 
Society   in    Chicago. 

Mr.  McConnell  leaves  five  children,  the  elder

mourn  Mr.  McConnell's  passing,— none  more 
than  those  most  closely  associated  with  him 
in  business,  and  in  whose  lives  he  had  become 
a  personal  influence  and  factor.  His  was  a  life 
of  service,  of  devotion  and  of  Qiristian  opti- 
mism.

Rare  Books,  Autographs  and  Prints 


PHILIP    ROSENBACH     AT    THE     SALE    OF     DICKENS 

ITEMS  AT  THE  BURDETT-COUTTS    SALE — SKETCHED 

BY    THE    LONDON    "DAILY    GRAPHIC" 

IT  is  said  in  England  that  American  collectors 
now  own  more  copies  of  the  First  Folio  of 
Shakespeare  than  "we  can  muster  in  private 
or    public   collections." 

The  Walpole  'Galleries  will  continue  its  oc- 
casional summer  sales  this  year  as  it  has  done 
for  the  last  two  or  three  seasons.  Many  good 
books  for  the  reader's  library  are  dispersed  in 
these  sales  and  they  are  well  worth  the  atten- 
tion  of   booklovers. 

The  Grosvenor  Library  of  Buffalo  has  taken 
a  special  interest  in  its  association  and  auto- 
graphed books  in  recent  years.  Without  mak- 
ing any  attempt  to  secure  such  books  by  pur- 
chase, the  library  has  a  large  collection,  vis- 
itors having  added  their  signatures  to  their 
own  works  in  the  library,  and  in  many  cases 
knowing  the  librarian's  hobby,  have  presented 
autographed  volumes. 

The  current  catalog  of  C.  F.  Libbie  &  Co. 
of  Boston  is  devoted  entirely  to  books  con- 
cerning the  North  American  Indians,  includ- 
ing narratives,  travels,  massacres,  adventures 
and  exploration  covering  all  parts  of  the  Unit- 
ed States  and  including  the  works  of  School- 
craft, Bartram,  Beatty,  Carver,  Church,  Col- 
den,  Drake,  Drayton,  Flint,  Heckwelder,  Hut- 
chinson, Trumbull,  Williams  and  many  other 
well  known  writers. 


The  demand  on  this  side  of  the  Atlantic  for 
the  rarer  literary  autograph  letters  and  man- 
uscripts is  said  in  London  to  be  constant  and 
increasing.  Prices  for  the  choicest  material 
are  already  so  high  in  the  English  market  that 
it  discourages  home  collectors,  but  the  Amer- 
icans "buy  with  very  little  bargaining."  It 
is  only  a  matter  of  a  few  years  when  America 
will  be  as  rich  in  autographic  material  as  it 
is  in  the  original  editions  of  the  great  master- 
pieces of  English  literature. 

The  Bacon  Society  of  America  was  organ- 
ized in  this  city  and  held  its  first  meeting  at 
the  National  Arts  Club  on  May  15.  Its  pur- 
pose is  "to  promote  friendly  intercourse  and 
an  exchange  of  views  and  information  between 
open-minded  lovers  and  students  of  literature 
and  allied  arts,  with  special  reference  to  the 
life  and  works  of  Francis  Bacon  and  his  con- 
temporaries, and  their  relation  to  the  Renais- 
sance  movement   and   our   own    times." 

The  English  trade  and  auction  houses,  ac- 
cording to  reports,  are  depending  largely  upon 
American  dealers  and  collectors  for  a  busy 
summer.  American  competition  has  done  much 
to  maintain  prices  for  the  rarer  material  that 
has  come  into  the  auction  market  this  season. 
Prices  are  yet  sufficiently  high  to  serve  as  a 
magnet  in  drawing  new  consignments  into  the 
auction  room.  Collectors  deplore  the  loss  of 
rarities  and  they  feel  sure  that  after  they 
have  once  crossed  the  Atlantic  they  will  never 
see  them  again.  But  this  sentiment  of  col- 
lectors is  completely  submerged  in  the  anxiety 
of  consignors  and  the  English  rare  book  trade 
to  find  the  best  possible   market. 

An  important  sale  of  rare  books,  autograph 
letters  and  illuminated  manuscripts  selected 
from  a  dozen  or  more  consignments  will  be 
sold  at  .Sotheby's  in  London  June  19,  20  and 
21.  This  sale  includes  the  novels  of  Dickens 
in  orig*inal  parts ;  an  extensive  collection  of 
the  first  editions  of  Robert  Louis  Stevenson ; 
broadside  proclamations  of  Charles  I,  many 
unique;  pamphlets  relating  to  the  Civil  War; 
a  series  of  fine  illuminated  miniatures;  im- 
portant Wyckcliffe  manuscripts;  Bunyan's 
"Pilgrim's  Progress,"  1678,  first  edition;  Shake- 
speare's First  Folio,  1623 ;  books  with  colored 
plates ;  fine  bindings ;  important  French  illus- 
trated -works  of  the  eighteenth  century;  first 
editions  of  Shelley  and  Thackeray;  and  a 
notalble  collection  of  autograph  letters,  includ- 
ing those  of  Washington,  Pope,  Shelley, 
Dickens,  Tennyson  and  many  names  famous 
in  English  literature  and  history. 


June  lo,  1922 

The  current  catalog  of  Charles  J.  Sawyer, 
Ltd.,  of  London,  a  quarto  volume  with  many 
full  page  illustrations  and  listing  rarities  of 
many  periods,  has  just  reached  this  country. 
Among  the  items  of  unusual  interest  are  the 
original  manuscript  of  Burn's  patriotic  ballad 
"The  Dumfries  Volunteers,"  Caxton's  "Chas- 
tising of  God's  Children,"  about  1491,  bound 
)y  Bedford  and  from  the  librar-y  of  Henry 
Huth,  a  perfect  copy;  a  selection  of  important 
and  rare  Dickens  items;  the  Sydney  Collection 
^^  of  Irish  State  Papers  and  Documents,  1782  to 
1789;  very  full  collected  sets  of  first  editions 
of  Arnold  Bennett,  Joseph  Conrad,  John  Mase- 
field  and  other  modern  authors;  an  extra- 
illustrated  copy  of  Sloane's  "Life  of  Napo- 
leon ;"  Shakespeareana  including  a  fine  copy 
of  the  Fourth  Folio;  the  holograph  Will  of 
John  Wesley;  and  many  interesting  items  of 
rare  Americana. 


Rare  Americana  including  books  and  pam- 
phlets concerning  the  Revolutionary  War,  Cal- 
ifornia and  the  Early  West,  the  North  Amer- 
ican Indians,  Lincolniana  autograph  letters  and 
broadsides.  Among  the  rarer  items  are  such 
books  as  Mather  Byles's  poem  "To  His  Ex- 
cellency Governor  Belcher  on  the  Death  of 
His  Lady,"  Boston,  1636,  the  first  copy  to 
appear  in  the  auction  room;  Benjamin  Frank- 
lin's "Directions  to  the  Deputy  Postmasters  for 
keeping  their  accounts,"  a  hitherto  unrecorded 
broadside  written  by  Franklin  as  postmaster- 
general  of  the  Colonies  and  probably  printed 
by  Franklin  and  Hall  in  1753;  and  a  copy  of 
the  Charleston  Mercury  Extra,  published  De- 
cember 20,  i860,  announcing  the  passage  of 
"An  Ordinance  to  Dissolve  the  Union  between 
the  State  of  South  Carolina  and  Other  States 
United  in  the  Compact  entitled  "The  Constitu- 
tion of  the  United   States  of  America."  etc. 


Casa  Guida,  the  Florentine  home  of  Robert 
and  Elizabeth  Barrett  Browning,  is  to  be 
preserved  as  a  memorial  to  the  two  poets  by 
the  Browning  Society  of  Florence.  It  is 
planned  to  restore  the  apartment  they  occupied 
as  it  was  when  they  lived  there  and  the  so- 
ciety is  seeking  some  of  the  furniture,  pictures 
and  other  objects  that  were  in  it  in  their  time. 
It  will  not  be  difficult  to  make  restoration  for 
very  many  accurate  descriptions  have  been  left 
by  visitors.  The  poet's  own  study  was  long 
and  narrow,  adorned  with  busts  ajid  masks, 
among  them  the  death  mask  of  Keats.  The 
study-sitting  room  of  his  wife,  with  its  tapes- 
tries, its  heavy  inlaid  book  cases,  its  old 
pictures  of  sacred  themes  and  its  large  gilded 
mirrors  would  have  delighted  the  lover  of  the 
antique.  This  Browning  museum,  for  such  in 
time   it   will    be,    will    add   to  the   literary   at- 


1707 

tractions  of  a  city  now  rich  in  memories  and 
associations  of   great  authors. 

It  is  fifty  years  since  Samuel  Butler's 
"Erewhon"  first  appeared  in  the  booksellers* 
windows,  an  anonymous  volume  at  the  price  of 
7s.  6d.  "As  a  book  it  had  as  a  companion,  the 
third  volume  of  iGeorge  Eliot's  'Middlemarch,'  " 
says  the  Manchester  Guardian.  The  latter 
enjoyed  a  long  start  in  the  race  for  circula- 
tion, but  to-day  "Erewhon"  is  probably  more 
read  than  "Middlemarch."  Butler  submitted 
his  manuscript  to  Chapman  &  Hall  but  their 
reader,  George  Meredith,  would  have  none  of 
it.  The  author  expressed  no  surprise.  'I 
should  have  condemned  'Diana  of  the  Cross- 
ways,'  said  he,  'or  any  other  of  Meredith's 
books  if  submitted  to  me.  When  'Erewhon' 
went  to  Trubner  &  Co.,  who,  thinking  from 
a  cursory  inspection  that  it  had  something  to 
do  with  the  contagious  diseases  act,  threw  it 
one  side  till  reminded  by  its  author  of  its 
existence.  He  had  to  publish  it  at  his  own 
risk,  and  calculated  long  afterwards  that  he 
made  rather  less  than  £70  out  of  the  venture. 
Its  anonymity  .was  "Erewhon's"  salvation. 
People  bought  it  and  talked  of  it  when  nobody 
knew  who  had  written  it,  and  a  second  edition 
was  called  for,  but  as  soon  as  the  Athenaeum 
announced  that  it  was  the  work  of  a  young 
man  well  known  in  artistic  quarters  named 
Samuel  Butler,  in  other  words  a  nobody,  the 
sales   dropped  to  a  vanishing  point."

When  Folios  Changed  Hands 

New   Rochelle,   N.   Y., 
May  3,  1922. 
Ed' tor,  Publishers'  Weekly  : 

Reference  in  the  Weekly  of  April  29th  to 
the  Shakespeare  Folios  purhcased  by  the  late 
J.  P.  Morgan  mentions  a  price  of  $40,000  ais 
having  been  paid  for  them.  This  its  approxi- 
mately correct.  These  were  in  the  library  of 
the  late  Theodore  Irwin,  of  Oswego,  which 
had  been  purchased  en  bloc  by  George  H. 
Richmond  with  wliom  I  was  then  associated, 
and  the  intention  was  to  disperse  it  at  retail, 
and  preparations  had  'been  made  to  this  effect 
including  the  procuring  of  a  large  safe  in 
which  the  contents  of  only  three  of  the  [lack- 
ing cases  had  been  placed  when  Mr.  Morgan 
called  to  lookj  them  over. 

In  addition  to  the  Folios  there  were  the 
famous  Golden  Gospels  on  purple  vellum,  a 
fine  lot  of  Caxtons  and  other  rare  gems  of  this 
library.  Mr.  Morgan  spent  an  hour  examining 
those  and  had  inquired  the  total  cost  of  such 
selections  as  he  desired  and  on  being  informed, 
considered  it  a  moment  and  then  asked  Rich- 
mond  how    much    he    wanted    for   the    whole 


I708 

library;  on  being  told  he  almost  immediately 
said  he  would  buy  it. 

This  occured  on  Friday  and  it  was  just 
about  noon  when  he  left  for  his  office.  He 
mailed  this  check  the  same  afternoon  and  on 
Saturday  noon  sailed  for  Europe. 

According  to  instructions  the  contents  of  the 
safe  were  then  repacked  in  their  cases  and 
along  with  all  the  others  which  had  not  been 
opened  were  sent  to  the  Lincoln  storage  ware- 
house. 

I  recall  that  Mr.  Morgan  when  he  first  came 
in  asked  jocosely  "Wihere  is  that  rubbish  you 
wanted  to  show  me?"  I  do  not  know  that  any 
of  this  has  ever  been  pnlblished  and  perhaps  it 
may  be  of   interest  to  your  readers. 

Yours  very  truly, 

J.  H.  Jordan.

"On  the  contrary  there  is  really  much  poetry

The  Will  to  Beauty 

A  continuation  of  the  philosophies 
of    Schopenhauer    and    Nietzsche 

"THE  WILL  TO  BEAUTY"  is  an  in- 
terpretation of  modern  "spiritualism" 
without  its  religious  superstition.  It  as- 
sumes that  the  "WILL"  of  the  universe 
is  unconscious,  seeking  consciousness  in 
man  and  woman.  What  is  called  "GOD" 
is  a  sincere  passion,  therefore  it  attains 
to  beauty. 

The  Book  is  waiting  for  pirofound  and 
sincere  thinkers  the  world  over  to  under- 
stand it,  it  will  be  hailed  as 

The  Plulosophy  of  the

You  Book  Sellers 
You  Book  Readers 

The  strongest  weapons  against  a  re-enactment  of  the  horrors  of 
the  war  just  passed  are  books!  You  may  say  "forget,"  but  every 
one  will  know  in  the  bottom  of  his  or  her  heart  that  such  advice 
to  the  world  means  certain  renewal  of  the  carnage.  To  us  it 
seems  a  duty  to  keep  alive  for  ourselves  and  for  the  generation 
now  maturing  the  rich  treasures  of  bravery  full-tested  and  the 
stern  realities  of  the  horrible  years  of  the  World  War  undergone. 

Do  not  say  "forget  the  war!" 
We  say  "remember  it!*' 

A  wonderful  literature  can  blossom  from  the  mud  of  the  trenches. 
It  is  springing  up  now.  It  is  the  strongest  weapon  for  peace. 
Believing  this,  we  are  publishing  such  a  novel  as  "Way  of  Revela- 
tion" by  Wilfrid  Ewart— a  truthful  picturing  of  life  between 
1914-19,  a  subject  of  truly  thrilling  interest.  We  publish  this  and 
will  publish  other  novels  of  the  war— because  we  feel  that  those 
who  say  "no  war  books!"  are  wrong.

He  has  taken  a  theme  of  universal  interest—the

FLOWING  GOLD 

is  a  typical  Rex  Beach  novel.  It  begins  with  a  rush, 
plunges  along  with  ever  increasing  speed,  and  ends 
with  a  crash  of  drama.  The  central  character  is  Calvin 
Gray,  a  man  who  has  had  adventures  all  over  the  world. 
Penniless,  he  finds  himself  stranded  in  the  Texas  oil 
country  after  the  war.  But  he  is  resourceful,  magnetic, 
a  gambler  in  personaHties,  and  he  knows  that  where 
there  is 

FLOWING  GOLD 

he  has  as  good  a  chance  as  the  next  man  to  scoop  up 
part  of  it  for  himself.  He  goes  to  the  most  expensive 
hotel  in  Dallas.  There  he  takes  the  Governor's  suite. 
He  introduces  himself  to  the  manager,  who  is  deeply 
impressed  by  his  important  manner,  and  sees  that  he 
meets  the  mayor  and  the  bankers.  This  is  only  the 
beginning  of  a  tale  of  thrilling  chances.  Read  this 
dashing  story  of  adventure  at  the  first  opportunity,  and 
see  for  yourself  why  the  biggest  Rex  Beach  success  yet

they  are  used  to-day — the  most  common

It  defines  all  words  by  definitive  statement 
giving  the  meanings  of  terms  in  simple  words 
instead  of  by  abstruse  and  often  ill-defined 
synonyms. 

It  makes  a  point  of  systematically  correcting 
errors  in  speech  and  writing. 

It  is  the  only  dictionary  that  follows  a  simple 
system  for  the  compounding  of  words,  and 
is  the  only  one.  that  is  a  safe  guide  to  follow 
in  the  division  of  words  in  printing  ana 
writing. 

It  is  the  first  dictionary  to  place  on  record 
the  Statistics  of  the  Fourteenth  United  States 
Census  (1920)  and  those  of  the  Censuses  of 
Great  Britain — England,  Scotland  and 
Wales  (1921);  the  Dominion  of  Canada,  as

THE    AMERICAN    BOOK   TRADE   JOURNAL 
FOUNDED  BY  F.  LEYPOLDT 


June   17,   1922 


'7  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  Dignity  of  Campaigning 

WHILE  among  those  who  handle  books 
there  has  been  an  increasing  stimulus 
from  special  campaigns  and  promo- 
tion, there  has  been  naturally  some  query  as  to 
whether  such  book  promotion  might  lessen  the 
dignity  of  the  work  of  distributing  books. 
Some  people  have  felt  that  the  enjoyment  of 
reading  is  not  a  thing  that  can  be  extended  by 
special  promotion.  Some  have  felt  that  the 
plan  of  "weeks,"  which  has  been  used  for  so 
many  purposes  lacked  poise.  A  comment  in  an 
English  trade  paper  is  that  the  English  reading 
public  would  feel  that  slogans  were  an  attempt 
to  coerce  them.  The  announcement  of  a  second 
Canadian  Book  Week  has  brought  from  one  or 
two  quarters  there  the  comment  that  the  pro- 
gram was  out  of  key.  No  one  can  doubt  that 
books  are  a  class  of  merdhandise  that  must  be 
handled  with  due  respect  to  the  contents,  but 
there  is  also  this  to  be  said,  i.  e.,  that  books 
contain  material  that  creates  an  enthusiasm 
among  those  who  handle  them,  enthusiasm 
which  makes  the  enthus'iast  willing  to  forego 
a  little  personal  dignity  in  the  effort  to  make 
others  see  the  importance  of  the  printed  wc  rd. 
Religious  leaders  might  prefer  to  state  their 
ideas  from  the  platform  in  even-toned  sen- 
tences, but  the  need  of  gripping  the  audience 
develops  the  art  of  pulpit  oratory.  Leaders 
in  politics  mfight  prefer  to  state  their  cause 
with  poised  reasoning,  but  their  enthusiasm 
for  their  beliefs  and  their  hope  of  registering 
a  majority  vote  leads  them  to  use  anything  but 
calm  methods  in  forwarding  their  points. 
Believers  in  what  books  may  da,  whether  it 
be  for  children  or  adults,  cannot  but  feel  that 
it  is  so  important  that  everyone  should  have  aji 
appreciation  of  the  importance  of  books  and 
the  opportunity  to  reach  them,  that  they  must 
at  all  hazards  and  by  any  means  put  this  cause 
before    all    who    can    be    persuaded    to    listen. 


1739 

stribution  of  books  is  only  a  part  of  the 
educational  and  diversional  program  of  the 
country  but  it  is  a  cause  that  appeals  to  90 
many  that  it  is  not  surprising  that  these  people 
are  found  working  together  on  such  plans  as 
Children's  Book  Week  or  Religious  Book 
Week,  and  in  the  Year-Round  Bookselling 
Campaign,  using  the  press,  platform,  poster  and 
exihibit  to  bring  the  cause  of  books  to  the 
attentaon  of  the  people.  It  is  not  usually  the 
enthusiast  that  hurts  a  good  cause  by  too  much 
enthusiasm  but  the  person  who,  while  believing 
in  the  cause,  deprecates  any  dramatic  effort  to 
get  a  hearing.  We  have  seen  few  book  pro- 
motion efforts  that  have  fallen  on  the  side 
because  of  over  enthusiasm,  tho  many  have 
suffered  from  chill. 


The  Bookstore  in  the  College 
Town 

ONE  of  the  very  encouraging  developments 
in  bookselling  in  the  last  few  years  has 
been  the  reappearance  of  the  general 
bookstore  in  the  college  town,  and  we  are 
especially  glad  to  print  at  this  commencement 
time  an  article  on  college  reading  by  the  man- 
ager of  one  of  the  most  successful  experiments 
in  this  field,  Marion  E.  Dodd  of  the  Hampshire 
Bookshop,  Northampton,  Mass.  In  too  many 
cases  the  bookstores  in  college  communities 
had  become  depositories  for  textbooks,  and 
perhaps  many  institutions  do  not  realize  that 
a  college  community  without  a  general  brows- 
ing ground  for  the  reader  is  a  community  not 
fully  measuring  up  to  the  need  of  youth. 

Sometimes,  indeed,  members  of  a  faculty 
have  expressed  the  idea  that  the  bookstore  di- 
verted students  from  the  textbooks  and  that 
the  prescribed  books  compassed  the  whole 
necessary  reading  of  the  student  body  with  a 
little  allowance  for  what  is  done  among  the 
million-reader  magazines.  \  change  in  this 
point  of  view  quickly  comes  about  when  the 
college  bookshop  is  rightly  conducted,  and  the 
time  must  be  at  hand  when  every  college  will 
give  encouragement  to  the  establishment  of  the 
type  of  shop  which  has  lx*romc  a  h.ippy  feature 
near  many  campuses. 

Those  who  are  thimking  of  entering  book- 
selling might  do  well  to  thiivk  over  the  book 
situation  in  the  college  towns  with  which  they 
have  had  contact  and  see  whether  there  is  not 
an  opportunity  to  enter  into  what  is  bound  to 
be  a  growing  and  imporfnnt  field.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


The  Edison  Questionnaires 

PERHAPS  nothing  could  have  given  a 
quicker  stimulus  to  the  idea  of  broad 
general  reading  for  information  than  the 
discussions  during  the  past  year  of  the  Edison 
tests.  Thousands  of  people  have  looked  the 
questions  over  as  printed  in  the  papers,  and, 
whether  they  believed  in  this  method  of  per- 
sonnel selection  or  not,  they  have  been  made 
conscious  of  their  own  lack  of  general  knowl- 
edge and  perhaps  have  set  about  reading  in  new 
directions.  Out  of  i,ooo  young  men  who  have 
been  thru  the  questionnaire  mill  in  the  last 
year,  about  90%  have  made  a  poor  showing, 
according  to  William  H.  Meadowcroft,  author 
of  "Boy's  Life  of  Edison"  and  secretary  to 
Mr.  Edison. 

To  answer  such  a  list  of  questions  success- 
fully a  regular  school  training  is  not  enough, 
it  being  the  purpose  and  function  of  such 
train-ing  to  teach  the  scholar  how  to  read  and 
use  the  tools  to  knowledge  without  expecting 
that  he  will  complete  his  reading  \vithin  the 
school  walls. 

It  is  not  enough  to  be  a  busy  reader  out- 
side or  after  school.  A  busy  reader  may  be 
merely  a  skimmer,  reading  to  kill  time  or  to 
save  himself  from  being  left  alone  with  his 
thoughts.  What  is  needed  is  that  the  readers 
of  newspapers,  periodicals  and  books  sihould 
have  the  selective  eye  and  the  quick  brain  to 
find  what  is  worth  while,  to  catch  the  relation 
between  all  kinds  of  information  and  auto- 
matically to  file  away  the  kind  of  thing  that 
has  permanent  value  or  valid  relationship  to 
other  knowledge.  In  the  new  printed  list  of 
questions  there  are  many  questions  that  would 
have  been  easily  answered  by  the  person 
familiar  with  books  and  bookshelves — ^such 
questions  as  "Who  was  Barbara  Frietchie?" 
"Who  wrote  'The  Aeneiad  '  "  "Who  was  Mar- 
cus Aurelius?"  "In  what  country  was  first  laid 
the  story  of  'Evangeline'?"  "Who  was  Hum- 
boldt?" etc.  There  are  numerous  other  ques- 
tions the  answers  of  which  would  come  quickly 
to  the  mind  of  anyone  well  read  in  the  best 
books  of  travel,  history  or  science — "Where  is 
the  Alhambra?"  "What  did  Lewis  and  Clark 
do?"  "Who  was  Horace  Greeley?"  "Who  was 
Charlemagne  "  "Name  six  tribes  of  American 
Indians,"  etc.  The  Edison  people  report  that 
the  great  majority  of  those  who  have  passed 
these  tests  and  entered  the  Edison  work  are 
still  in  their  employ  and  doing  well.  Many 
other  big  employers  fhave  been  greatly  inter- 


ested in  Mr.  Edison's  methods  and  their  re- 
sults and  have  been  consulting  with  him  about 
similar  questionnaires. 

An  increase  of  this  kind  of  discussion  and 
a  better  understanding  of  the  importance  of 
alert  interest  in  all  kinds  of  information  will 
have  a  widespiread  effect  in  increasing  the  in- 
erest  in  .books.  Mr.  Edison  himself  has  an 
enicyclopedic  knowledge  of  science,  a  wide  read- 
ing in  history,  travel,  and  a  smaller  acquaint- 
ance with  general  literature,  but  the  lists  show 
a  balance  between  different  departments  of 
knowledge. 

Kelly  Introduces  Measure  To 
Repeal  Postal  Rate  Increase 

A  bill  designed  to  give  relief  to  newspapers 
and  magazines  which  have  claimed  that  the 
continuation  of  the  second-class  postage 
rates,  originally  imposed  as  war  taxes, 
would  seriously  affect  the  publishing  indus- 
try, was  introduced  in  the  House  to-day  by 
Representative  M.  Clyde  Kelly  of  Bennsyl- 
vania,  well-known  to  booksellers  as  co- 
author of  the  Kelly-Stephens  bill.  Tdie  Kelly 
bill  would  repeal  th;e  last  two  of  the  four 
increases  in  postal  rates  which  were  made 
under  the  War  Revenue  law  of  1917. 

According  to  Mr.  Kelly,  the  rates  asked 
for  would  still  give  the  Government  175  per 
cent  more  than  the  pre-war  rates  and  would 
"not  relieve  the  publishing  industry  of  one 
cent  of  the  other  Federal  taxes  paid  by  it  in 
common  with  other  industries." 

"The  newspapers  and  other  periodicals 
are  the  very  fountain  source  of  first-class 
and  fourth-class  mail.  They  also  perform  an 
invaluable  service  in  freely  carrying  mes- 
sages of  the  Post  Ol^ce  and  other  depart- 
ments of  the  Government  direct  to  the  peo- 
ple. They  are  readly  selling  agents  for  the 
Government,  but  they  get  no  commissions  on 
their  sales.  It  is  a  commonsense  policy  to 
give  them  advantageous  rates  in  the  mail. 

"The  fact  that  these  high  rates  are 
charged  on  the  advertising  pages  does  not 
lessen  the  injustice.  Advertising  is  not  mer- 
chandise, but  information.  The  newspapers 
are  information  highways,  just  as  essential 
to  the  business  prosperity  of  this  country 
as  the  highways  and  waterways.  Not  a  sale 
can  be  made  or  a  pound  of  goods  sihipped 
without  the  interchange  of  information.  The 
advertisements  are  chronicles  of  every  ad- 
vance in  industrial  achievement.  Without 
them  publication  of  the  newspapers  and 
magazines  would  be  impossible. 

The  Kelly  bill  has  been  referred  to  the 
House  Post  Ofifice  Committee.  Hearing  will 
be  held  at  an  early  date.

What  College-'^Girls  Read 

By  Marion  E.  Dodd 

The  Hampshire  Bookshop,  Northampton,  Mass. 


THE  temptation,  of  course,  is  to  theorize 
about  what  college  girls  should  read  and 
not  what  they  do  read,  for  the  tendencies 
i  of  our  own  day  are  nowhere  reflected  with 
more  crystalline  clearness  than  in  the  younger 
generation  now  at  college.  There  is  certain 
reference  reading  that  is  required  and  has  to 
be  done  in  order  to  pass  a  course;  there  is 
recommended  reading  which  may  or  may  not 
be  done,  and  there  is  that  fascinating  realm  of 
reading  which  gradually  offers  itself  for  the 
student  who  does  all  the  required  and  recom- 
mended reading.  The  instructor  who  succeeds 
in  rousing  enough  interest  in  his  course  to 
induce  the  students  to  go  far  afield  voluntarily 
is  the  personality  who  counts  for  most  in  any 
institution  of  learning.  The  individual  mem- 
bers of  the  faculties  of  our  colleges  are,  with 
comparatively  few  exceptions,  failing  to  lay 
enough  emphasis  on  the  ownership  of  books  in 
their  teaching,  and  it  is  an  opportunity  that 
they  cannot  afford  to  ignore.  The  teacher  who 
has  to  force  his  class  thru  on  a  minimum  of 
required  reading  ought  not  to  be  allowed  to 
teach  because  he  is  not  teaching  in  any  sense 
of  the  word.  One  sure  test  of  a  successful 
course  is  whether  or  not  students  acquire  or 
continue  to  pursue  the  habit  of  reading.  Ac- 
cording to  my  ■  observation,  the  enthusiastic 
student  is  driven  to  the  ownership  of  good 
books  and  forms  a  discriminating  taste  in- 
voluntarily; it  is  part  of  her  college  work.  It 
is  true  that  there  are  students  who  cannot 
afford  to  leave  college  with  the  nucleus  of  a 
good  library,  but  it  is  just  ^  possible  to  instill 
the  reading  habit  in  this  earnest  and  interesting 
group  of  girls  who  know  the  value  of  money. 


istration.  The  cooperation  of  the  progressive 
and  open-minded  who  recognize  that  the  influ- 
ence and  ready  cooperation  of  a  good  bookshop 
may  be  of  inestimable  value  in  the  "educative 
process"  is  taken  for  granted,  however. 

With  this  indication  of  the  possible  develop- 
ment of  book  ownership  and  the  habit  of  read- 
ing, it  is  natural  to  find  that  college  girls  to- 
day are  reading  almost  everything  in  modern 
fiction,  poetry,  essays,  drama,  biography  and 
practically  nothing  in  history,  economics,  sociol- 
ogy, religion  and  philosophy.  This  is  extra- 
ordinary in  a  time  which  is  seething  with  labor 
troubles  and  more  upheavals  in  all  directions 
than  have  existed  in  the  history  of  the  world. 
There  is  something  the  matter  if  their  minds 
have  not  been  roused  to  a  state  of  curiosity 
at  least. 

Taste  and  Leisure 

Reading  for  the  purpose  of  acquiring,  specific 
knowledge  of  a  subject  is  one  thing,  reading 
as  a  means  of  providing  thought  is  another, 
and  reading  as  a  producer  of  interest  is  still 
another.  Reading  to  pass  away  time  or  as  a 
relaxation  is  of  little  immediate  interest  to  the 
teaching  staff,  and  yet  the  formation  of  good 
taste  in  books  determines  the  yield  of  the 
leisure  hour.  There  is  nothing  new  in  all  this, 
but  we  must  all  realize  that  it  is  no  longer  pos- 
sible to  pass  by  the  many  opportunities  for  con- 
structive work  in  colleges  and  universities  in 
the  field  of  reading  and  book  ownership,  which 
are  in  their  right  relationship  only  when  they 
are  conceived  as  following  one  another  as  the 
sun  the  rain. 

Book  ownership  involves  a  personal  HbraTy, 
the  formation  of  which  should  be  the  concern 
of  every  member  of  every  faculty.  Instead, 
book  ownership  is  viewed  with  an  indifference 
which  can  but  lead  to  the  conclusion,  at  least 
in  the  majority  of  cases,  that  there  are  certain 
reasons  why  it  has  been  discarded  as  either 
impractical  or  unwise.  The  aspect  of  the  com- 
mercial taint  in  advising  purchase  of  any  but 
text  books,  the  reluctance  to  urge  the  expendi- 
ture of  funds  for  a  definite  purpose,  and  the 
short  time  in  which  certain  courses  have  to 
be  completed  are  doubtless  all  involved,  but 
these  are  all  superficial  objections.  Imagiiie, 
if  you  can,  the  difference  in  the  attitude  toward 
scholarship  in  the  college  which,  from  the  first 
day  of  Freshman  year,  emphasizes  steadily 
thruout  the  four  years  the  tremendous  advan-

tage  a  carefully  selected  library  would  be  to 
the  student  in  his  or  her  college  career  and  in 
after  life.  If  you  questioned  the  teaching  staff 
on  this  point,  there  would  probably  be  few  who 
would  dispute  the  results. 

In  required  supplementary  reading,  where 
students  have  a  choice  of  two  or  three  books, 
we  are  often  asked  which  is  the  shortest,  show- 
ing a  lack  of  interest  and  no  respect  for  the 
books  recommended,  whereas  if  the  instructor 
had  taken  the  time  to  speak  of  certain  books 
friom  the  angle  of  book  ownership,  the  whole 
attitude  of  that  student  might  have  been 
changed.  Bookshops  have  done  this  work  for 
the  faculty  in  several  instances  and  been  fully 
repaid  by  interesting  girls  in  their  courses  quite 
definitely.  In  the  trials  of  the  notorious  mur- 
ders of  the  classics  in  Freshman  English,  there 
would  be  a  cloud  of  witnesses  from  Alumnae 
the  world  over  who  would  testify  in  everlast- 
ing grief  to  the  ruin  of  hopes  and  expectations. 
See  Randolph  Bourne's  "Historv  of  a  Literary 
Radical !" 

The  habit  of  acquiring  books  indiscriminately 
is  to  be  deprecated,  so  is  that  fatal  fervor  of 
the  collector  who  has  shelves  of  first  editions 
and  rare  books  of  which  he  has  no  knowledge 
except  as  the  highest  bidder  in  an  auction 
room.  This  is  not  book  ownership  but  merely 
physical  possession.  The  contents  must  be  of 
significance  to  the  purchaser  from  some  point 
of  view  either  to  meet  his  library  necessities 
or  to  satisfy  s'ome  special  interest  or  hobby. 

J.  H.  Robinson  in  his  "Mind  in  the  Making," 
says:  "On  these  mediaeval  university  profes- 
sors, the  schoolmen,  Lord  Bacon  long  ago  pro- 
nounced a  judgment  that  may  well  stand  to- 
day: 

"  'Having  sharp  and  strong  wits,  and  abun- 
dance of  leisure,  and  small  variety  of  reading, 
but  their  wits  being  shut  up  in  the  cells  of  a 
few  authors  (chiefly  Aristotle,  their  dictator). 
as  their  persons  were  shut  up  in  the  cells  of 
monasteries  and  colleges,  and  knowing  little 
history,  either  of  nature  or  time  (they)  did 
out  of  no  great  quantity  of  wit  spin  out  unto 
us  those  laborious  webs  of  learning  which  are 
extant  in  their  books.' " 

This  may  or  may  not  be  true  today,  but  there 
is  always  the  danger  that  any  life  which  is  so 
segregated  in  institutions  large  enough  to  be 
worlds  in  themselves,  may  produce  this  "shut- 
ting up"  process  and  closed  minds.  It  is  a 
thing  to  beware  of  in  our  colleges  to-day.

We  know  we  could  have  doubled  our  sales 
on  certain  books  if  we  had  considered  them 
worth  the  paper  they  are  printed  on,  including 
"The  Beautiful  and  Damned"  and  "Cytherea." 

Certain  books  have  been  in  the  best  sellers 
class  because  their  sale  has  been  stimulated  by 
our  lecturers,  Sir  Philip  Gibbs,  Vachel  Lindsay 
and  John  Drinkwater;  others  have  been  the 
center  of  interest  in  some  English  course  like 
E„  A.  Robinson's  Collected  Poems,  John 
Masefield's  Poems  and  Plays,  etc.;  most  of 
them  have  been  put  there  by  our  own  effort, 
and  a  few  of  them  in  spite  of  our  efforts  to 
the  contrary. 

There  are  distinct  groups  who  read  a  certain 
class  of  fiction  including  "Erik  Dorn,"  "Cy- 
therea,"  "The  Beautiful  and  Damned,"  "Brass," 
etc.  It  is  often  possible  to  divert  girls  from 
buying  perfect  trash  to  something  which  has 
real  literary  value,  but  not  this  group  as  wit- 
ness the  following  episode : 

Enter  student: — "Have  you  a  copy  of  'Cy- 
therea?' " 

Clerk :— "Yes,  but  if  you  are  a  Hergesheimer 
enthusiast  it  does  not  come  up  to  some  of  his 
other  books." 

Student: — "I  want  to  give  it  to  my  brother." 
Clerk:— "How     about     'The     Young     En- 
chanted?'" 

Student:— "Is  it  morbid?  I  must  have  some- 
thing morbid  because  my  brother  prefers  that 
kind  of  book." 

Clerk:— *"No,  it  isn't  in  the  least  morbid. 
Why  don't  you  try  to  switch  him  off  on  some 
other  line  of  reading?" 

Student  (doubtfully)  :— "Vv^ell,  I  know  he 
would  rather  have  the  morbid  book,  but  I'll 
take  this  if  it's  really  any  good." 

Clerk  (wrapping  the  book), — "It's  a  gond 
story." 

The  final  result  was  that  the  girl  came  back 
in    the   afternoon,    went   to   another   clerk   and 


exchanged  "The  Young  Enchanted"   for  "Cy- 
therea !" 

It  is  said  on  good  authority  that  "The  Sheik" 
has  been  read  widely  by  college  girls  and  that 
copies  have  rented  from  25c  a  night  up!  We 
as  a  bookshop  have  not  sold  more  than  5  or  6 
on  special  order,  for  it  is  not  carried  in  stock. 

There  are  other  groups  which  hover  round 
the  fine  bindings  and  are  interested  in  preserv- 
ing for  themselves  or  their  friends  their 
favorites  in  appropriate  and  beautiful  leathers. 
There  are  still  others  who  have  begun  the 
catalog  habit  and  already  are  checking  English 
catalogs  and  picking  up  some  old  thing  that 
appeals  to  their  imaginations  or  fits  in  an  empty 
niche  in  their  libraries.  There  is  the  poetry 
group  and  the  drama  group,  both  of  which  are 
quite  distinctly  products  of  vital  courses  in  the 
curriculum.  And  there  is  in  the  great  majority 
the  girl  of  wide  interests  whose  mind  is  open 
and  curious,  who,  to  quote  a  senior,  says  there 
must  be  no  barrier  between  her  and  the  books, 
for  she  wants  what  she  has  come  to  discover. 

On  the  whole  the  college  girl  is  reading  good 
things,  but  the  temptation  to  read  the  current 
fiction  of  to-day  with  the  lure  of  sex-discussion 
to  the  fore,  is  irresistible,  and  the  Fitzgerald 
stuff  and  "The  Sheik"  and  their  like  are  wast- 
ing valuable  time  and  money  of  students  whose 
minds  should  be  on  more  serious  business. 
Bridging  the  hiatus  between  class-room  and 
leisure  time  should  certainly  not  rest  altogether 
with  the  ingenuity  of  the  bookseller,  but  should 
engage  also  the  best  efforts  of  teachers — par- 
tkularly,  at  the  present  ^t)ime,  teachers  of 
history,  economics  and  sociology. 

In  Praise  of  the  College  Bookshop 

[The  following  letter  is  reprinte<i  from  The  Book 
Scorpion    published    by    the    Hampshire    Hook    Shop.] 

IN  the  cultivation  of  a  healthy  desire  for 
reading  as  well  as  in  supplying  appetites 
already  stimulated  by  college  teachers  and 
fellow  students  the  bookshop  in  a  college  town 
has  a  real  function. 

A  bookshop  so  located  and  intelligently  man- 
aged is  fully  as  valuable,  I  think,  as  any  de- 
partment of  the  college.  It  is,  indeed,  more 
than  a  "Service  of  Supply";  it  is  something 
of  a  "General  Staff"  as  well,  wisely  suggesting 
new  interests,  pointing  the  way  to  new  vistas, 
and  supplying  a  healthy  balance  in  reading. 

It  may  not  only  supply  the  more  obvious 
boolk  needs  of  students  and  suggest  new  in- 
terests, but  by  emphasis  in  its  sales  displays 
and  arrangements  it  may  cultivate  better 
standards  and  finer  taste  in  book  buying  and 
reading.  The  casual  buyer,  confronted  by  a 
table  of  what  Mr.  Canby  has  termed  the  dime 
novels  of  yesterday  that  sell  for  two  dollars 
today  normally  selects  from  the  group  of  books 


1/44 


before  him.  But  where  there  is  an  attractive 
array  of  agnificant  work— biography,  drama;-  ; 
politics  and  economics,  poetry,  fiction,  science, 
essays— the  average  person  is  encouraged  and 
required  to  develop  and  exercise  intelligent 
criteria  for  selection. 

Furthermore  the  bookshop  may  introduce  us 
to  our  contemporaries.  College  work  generally 
overlooks  the  literary  efforts  of  our  fellows, 
who  need  a  hearing,  or  rather  a  reading,  for 
encouragement.  After  all  we  cannot  expect 
to  promote  the  artistic  and  literary  life  of  the 
nation  unless  we  become  familiar  with  it  and 
try  to  understand  it.  The  supplementary 
function  of  supplying  lectures  and  readings  by 
contemporary  writers  encourages  this  very  de- 
sirable result.  We  who  are  studying  should  be 
the  first  to  seek  out  those  of  our  own  genera- 
tion who  are  trying  to  give  significant  expres- 
sion of  the  society  of  which  we  are  a  part. 

Finally  to  the  college  teacher  the  ideal  book- 
shop is  a  necessity.  It  brings  to  the  remoter 
places  something  universal  and  cosmopolitan. 
It  breaks  down  that  curse,  unhappily  found 
even  in  the  cultural  colleges,  of  narrow  inter- 
ests. The  teacher  of  a  particular  subject  may 
browse  among  the  new— and  old— books  in  other 
fields  of  interest  and  profit. 

It  should  be  unnecessary  to  add  that  these 
qualities  of  the  bookshop  should  all  aid  in 
encouraging  students  as  well  as  teachers  in 
developing  their  own  libraries.  These  will  con- 
stitute both  from  their  content  and  their  asso- 
ciations the  background  of  our  lives,  helping 
us  to  interpret  ordinary  events,  or  to  forget 
them,  because  of  the  grander  forces  and  greater 
people  with  whom  we  have  become  acquainted 
thru  books. 

It  is  not  only  a  pleasure  but  I  think  book- 
lovers  will  agree  a  duty,  to  express  in  even  an 
inadequate  way  appreciation  of   the  part   that 
the  Hampshire  Bookshop  is  playing  for  us  all 
in  this  neighborhood,  a  part  similar  to  that  of 
the  Dunster  House  Book  Shop  in  Cambridge, 
and  the  Brick  Row  Book  Shop  in  New  Haven. 
John  M.  Gaus,  Professor  of 
Political  Science, 
Amherst  College. 

The  Literary  Editor  of  the  London  Sphere 
has  reached  the  conclusion  that  "The  Cruise 
of  the  Kawa"  is  not  authentic.  He  even  in- 
sinuates that  the  photographs  of  Traprock's 
adventures  in  the  Filbert  Isles  were  made  in  a 
moving  picture  studio.  He  writes :  "The 
book  is  so  obviously  a  fake,  and  even  the  illus- 
trations seem  to  me  to  be  a  strain  after  funni- 
ncss,  which  does  not  come  off.  Such  photo- 
graphs could,  I  imagine,  be  produced  in  any 
film  factory."

On  the  College  GirFs  Bookshelf 

AMONG  the  contributions  to  "The  Bowling 
Green"  column  of  the  New  York  Evening 
Post,  when  the  Vassar  girls  took  charge  of  the 
department  for  a  day,  was  the  description  of 
firsthand  investigation  of  an  actual  college 
girl's  reading  table  with  the  following  results; 
The  Bowling  Green's  investigation  of  the 
books  in  a  ship's  library  started  us  on  an  in- 
vestigation of  our  own.  With  Briggs,  we 
mused,  "Wonder  what  college  girls  read?"  We 
pounced  upon  an  unsuspecting  friend  who,  we 
understood,  had  neither  a  high  nor  a  low  brow 
reputation.  On  the  table  ready  for  immediate 
use  we  were  relieved  to  find  "A  Nonsense  An- 
thology," by  Carolyn  Wells.  "The  Luck  of 
Roaring  Camp"  and  "Deburau"  elbowed  Caro- 
lyn. Next  came  Addams's  "Peace  and  Bread" 
and  the  "Parody  Outline  of  History."  Johnson's 
"Well  of  English  and  the  Bucket"  made  the 
serious  win  by  a  not  too  easy  majority.  A  small 
bookcase  near  the  table  ran  to  matched  sets — 
Bernard  Shaw,  five  poets  of  the  Browning 
period,  Chekhov,  and  Stevenson  and  Kipling 
decidedly  in  the  majority.  A  Bible  and  a  lone- 
some Thackeray  occupied  an  upper  corner.  We 
drew  a  long  breath  of  relief.  Perhaps  after  all 
it  was  better  to  have  read  wisely  rather  than 
too  well.  Then  came  our  discovery  !  Discreetly 
retiring  behind  a  large  morris  chair  was  a  twin 
book-case.  We  ran  our  eye  over  it.  Entirely 
fiction — Farnol,  Ralph  Connor,  Stevenson 
again,  Gene  Stratton-Porter,  Baroness  Orczy, 
Montgomery.  We  knew  them  all.  Thoroly 
mixed  up  with  them  was  quite  a  lot  of  Kip- 
long,  and  there,  O  Christopher !  "Shandygaff" 
in  a  dark  and  gloomy  binding,  next  to  Oliver 
Herford  and  "Stover  at  Yale." 


Meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trade  of 
the  American  Booksellers'  Assn. 

A  MEETING  of  the  Board  of  Trade  of  the 
American  Booksellers'  Association  was 
held  on  June  6th.  Chas.  E.  Butler  of  Bren- 
tano's  was  re-elected  Chairman,  in  spite  of  his 
vigorous  protest  that  ten  terms  should  make 
him  exempt.  Chas.  A.  Burkhardt  of  E.  P. 
Button  &  Company  was  re-elected  Recorder 
and  Custodian. 

The  Board  voted  to  accept  S.  A.  Everitt's 
invitation  made  at  the  Convention  that  a  com- 
mittee of  three  meet  with  a  similar  committee 
of  the  publishers  to  discuss  the  matter  of  books 
offered  as  premiums  for  magazine  subscrip- 
tions. 

There  was  an  informal  discussion  of  the 
Kelly  bill,  and  all  members  were  urged  to  do 
their  best  to  further  its  passage.

Business  Research  Departments  Make  New 
Markets  for  Books 

By  Waldon  Fawcett 


BUSINESS  research  departments  have  come 
into  the  market  as  buyers  of  books,  but 
the  present  extent  of  purchases  is  but  a  be- 
gmnmg,  accordmg  to  the  predictions  of  re- 
search specialists.  Book  publishers  and  book- 
sellers  have  only  to  make  systematic  cultiva- 
tion of  the  field  to  be  rewarded  with  sales  in 
profitable  proportions.  Not  only  business  books 
but  reference  works  in  wide  variety  have  place 
in  the  research  department  and  its  adjunct 
the  special  library. 

If  there  be  any  lack  of  appreciation  of 
the  size  of  thss  new  outlet  for  books  it  is  per- 
haps due  to  a  failure  to  understand  what  busi- 
ness research  covers.  The  name,  research  de- 
partment, mdicates  the  character  of  the  work 
that  modern  business  is  setting  up,  but  does 
not  reveal  its  variety.  A  research  department 
may  be  a  bureau  oif  research  on  marketing 
methods  or  a  clearing  house  for  data  on  pro- 
duction, but,  whatever  its  scope,  it  is  usually 
restricted  to  a  given  trade  or  a  specific  line 
of    commerce. 

What  a   Research   Department  Is 

Casual  estimate  of  research  as  an  incentive 
to  book  purchase  is  also  likely  to  fall  short 
of  adequate  appraisal  because  "research  de- 
partments" are  not  restricted  to  the  few  great 
industrial  corporations  that  have  led  the  way  in 
the  creation  of  special  libraries.  Financial 
institutions,  department  stores,  municipal  gov- 
ernments, all  manner  of  public  institutions, 
and  trade  and  teohnicai  associations  are  among 
the  interests  that  now  maintain  research  de- 
partments. The  special  rcportorial  and  sta- 
tistical services  which  have,  latterly  multi- 
plied unbelievably  in  the  United  States  are  an 
indication  of  the  trend.  The  organizers  of 
these  information  bureaus  and  data  services 
have  reaped  a  harvest  that  belongs  rightfully 
to  the  book-trade. 

Strange  as  it  may  appear, — and  publishers 
are  by  no  means  blameless, — the  research  de- 
partments have  not  universally  discoveretl 
books  as  the  supreme  source  of  information. 
There  has  been  for  the  most  part  reliance  upon 
clipping  bureaus,  upon  the  a1x)ve-mentione(l 
special  services,  and  upon  first-hand  reports 
from  members  of  the  organization,  instead  of 
making  books  the  foundation  of  research. 
There  are  research  departments  maintained  by 
,big  corporations  that  are  brave  with  files  for 
preserving  and  classifying  information  in  frag- 
mentary form,  but  that  do  not  muster  a  dozen 
books.     The  head  of  the  research  department 


of  a  leading  firm  in  the  automotive  field  re- 
cently confessed  that  he  frequently  expends 
Jio  worth  of  time  m  a  trip  to  a  public  library 
to  consult  this  or  that  book  which  might  be 
purchased  outright  for  $2  or  $3. 

The  difliculty  seems  to  be  not  so  much  that  re- 
search specialists  do  not  appreciate  the  wisdom 
of  fitting  the  department  with  a  small  working 
library  and  adding  to  it  systematically  as  that 
boards  of  directors  or  the  executives  higher 
up  have  not  reacted  to  requests  for  appropria- 
tions for  books.  This  in  turn  is  due,  seem- 
ingly, to  misconceptions  that  are  almost  too 
ridiculous  for  recital.  First,  the  assumption 
that  what  has  been  printed  in  books  must  be 
known  to  all  investigators  and  that  conse- 
quently there  is  no  )need  to  make  it  of  record 
in  a  research  department  which,  by  fanciful 
tradition,  is  to  be  dfevoted  to  the  assemblage 
of  first-hand  information  not  obtainable  thru 
any  other  sooirce.  Second,  the  suspicion  that 
what  is  public  property  via  book  publication 
must  be  known  to  all  men,  competitors  in- 
cluded, and  that  consequently  the  lore  is  of 
less  value  than  the  secrets  that  a  research 
department  might  extract  by  the  questionnaire. 
Books  Are  the  Corner  Stone 

Gradually,  tho,  recognition  is  coming  that 
books,— general  reference  works  and  the 
bibliography  of  the  special  sphere— should 
form  the  comer  stone  of  the  research  depart- 
ment. Dorsey  W.  Hyde,  Jr.,  well-known  thru 
his  connection  with  the  U.  S.  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce and  President  of  the  Special  Libraries 
Association  says  that  there  are,  perhaps,  two 
hundred  books  that,  in  the  average  research 
department  would  be  consulted  almost  daily. 
The  recent  increase  in  the  publication  of  hooks 
on  business  topics,  the  advance  in  numl)er  of 
the  business  encyclopedia,  "annals."  year  l)Ooks, 
etc.,  and  the  fuixi  of  valuable  information 
loosed  thru  government  publications  is  calcu- 
lated to  arouse  all  research  workers  whose 
impulse  is  not  to  go  first  to  books  as  the  foun- 
tain head  of  information. 

It  must  be  reported,  however,  tliat  research 
workers  are  prone  to  place  upon  the  trade 
some  of  the  blame  for  any  neglect  of  lK>oks. 
To  begin  with,  the  searchers  for  special  knowl- 
edge complain  that  the  average  local  book- 
seller does  not  react  enthusiastically  to  an  in- 
quiry for  the  type  of  book  that  is  needed  in 
the  average  research  department.  It  would  be 
too    much    to    expect    that    the    technical    or 


1/46 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


reference  volume  would  be  found  in  a  book- 
store picked  at  random,  but  the  specialist  feels 
the  slight  of  a  bookseller's  failure  to  offer  to 
place  an  order  with  the  publishers.  It  has 
been  suggested  as  the  probable  explanation  of 
the  attitude  of  the  luke-warm  retailer  that  an 
inquiry  from  a  research  department  implies 
only  the  isolated  sale  or  purchases  at  long  in- 
tervals. As  will  be  shown  later,  however,  this 
idea  of  small  sales  is  not  always  justified. 

With  book  publishers,  as  well,  these  re- 
search workers  have  a  bone  to  pick.  Here 
the  grievance  is  virtually  the  same  as  above  re- 
lated, namely  that  the  onus  is  all  on  the  head 
of  the  research  department  to  acquaint  him- 
self with  boolks,  new  or  old,  serviceable  in  his 
department,  and  the  means  of  obtaining  them. 
Lists  of  "recommended"  business  books  have 
been  issued,  tTlmes  on  end,  by  commercial  organi- 
zations. But  aside  from  the  fact  that  the 
average  list  is  of  entirely  too  general  a  char- 
acter to  serve  the  purpose  of  the  specialized 
research  department  there  is  the  further  dis- 
qualificataon  that  almost  never  does  such  a  list 
contain  the  complete  name  and  address  of  the 
publisther  or  importer  and  the  price  of  the 
volume. 

What  research  workers  and  special  libra- 
rians as  a  class  desire  is  a  central  agency  or 
clearing  house  thru  which  blanket  orders  might 
be  placed  for  alil  the  books  on  a  given  subject. 
Only  a  few  weeks  ago,  for  example,  an  Ameri- 
can authority  received  from  a  friend  in  Aus- 
tralia a  remittance  of  $250  with  the  request 
that  he  purchase  every  volume  in  print  in  the 
United  States  on  a  certain  phase  of  municipal 
engineering.  And  the  recipient  of  the  letter, 
too  busy  to  give  it  personal  attention,  mourned 
that  he  knew  of  no  purchasing  agency  in  the 
book  field  to  whom  he  could  with  confidence 
entrust  the  commission.  The  visionaries  in 
the  research  field  fully  realize  that  they  cannot 
hope,  at  least  not  yet,  for  agencies  that  will 
consolidate  the  products  of  all  presses  on  a 
given  subject,  but  they  plead  for  listings  so 
complete  in  identification  of  publishers  that  a 
research  librarian  may  at  least  fill  his  wants 
by  means  of  a  single  letter  or  order  for  each 
volume. 

Publishers'  Co-operation  Needed 
A  grumble  is  heard  in  some  research  quarters 
that  book  publishers  are  prone  to  leave  to  the 
research  men  the  entire  responsibility  of  keep- 
ing tradk  of  new  books.  One  research  execu- 
tive who  has  gained  the  reputation  of  acquir- 
ing every  new  book  in  his  field  with  the  ut- 
most promptness  tells  the  writer  that  it  is 
thanks  to  no  solicitations  by  publishers  that 
he  is  thus  ininctual.  He  gains  the  compensa- 
tions of  the  early  book  buyer  simply  because 
he  employs  a  clipping  service  to  appraise  him 


of  all  new  listings  and  personally  keeps  watch 
of  the  trade  press  for  mention  of  new  works. 
In  this  same  connect&on  it  is  fitting  to  remark 
that  research  workers  are  apt  to  be  particularly 
susceptible  to  new  books.  For  one  thing  it  is 
the  new  book  that  supposedly  exemplifies  the 
latest  theory  or  practice  in  the  field  covered. 

Again  there  is  the  circumstance  that  many  a 
business  research  department  starts  with  a 
modest  appropriation.  The  executive  in 
charge  has  not  the  funds  to  gather  forthwith 
everything  that  is  in  print  but  he  is  apt  to  be 
keen  to  keep  pace  with  notable  current  con- 
tributions to  the  literature  of  his  line, — the 
more  so  inasmuch  as  the  executives  higher 
up,  who  dictate  as  to  the  research  appropria- 
tion, are  liable  to  call  for  a  new  volume  that 
attracts  attention. 

Routing    Worthwhile    Books 

This  brings  us  to  another  and  most  interest- 
ing aspect  of  the  research  proposition,  viz., 
the  book  circulation  function  as  distinguished 
from  consulting  and  reference  work.  The  re- 
search department  of  an  industrial  corporation 
or  a  municipal  government,  or  what  not,  does 
not,  as  a  rule  undertake  to  maintain  a  circu- 
lating library  of  either  popular  or  technical 
subjects  for  the  benefit  of  the  office  workers 
or  factor}^  employees.  That  comes  more  con- 
sistently within  the  educational  work  of  the 
welfare  department.  But  every  research  de- 
partment makes  an  effort  to  respond  to  every 
consistent  demand  made  upon  it  by  any  mem- 
ber of  the  organization  and,  in  the  case  of 
executives,  there  is  developing  a  form  of  con- 
tact of  no  little  significance  to  the  lx>ok-trade. 

It  is  the  usual  experience  that  if  a  corpora- 
tion or  institution  has  a  research  department 
or  special  library,  the  publication,  say  of  a  new 
book  germaine  to  the  work  in  hand,  will  bring 
from  members  of  the  organization  staff  a  cer- 
tain number  0;f  voluntary  requests  to  withdraw 
the  volume  for  home  reading.  From  this  symp- 
tcim  of  interest  there  has  developed  in  not  a 
few  organizations  a  routing  arrangement 
whereby  each  worth-while  book  that  is  added 
to  the  library  is  "passed  around"  for  the  peru- 
sal O'f  the  executives,  progressing  by  means  of 
a  schedule  whach  allots  a  certain  interval  of 
time  to  each  reader.  Gk>ing  a  step  farther, 
some  progressive  research  men  have  taken  to 
purchasing  several  copies  of  each  new  book 
that  is  likely  to  be  in  demand  within  the  organi- 
zation. And  finally,  a  few  organizations  have 
advanced  to  the  point  where  there  is  outright 
purchase  of  enough  copies  of  any  notable 
volume  to  supply  each  executive  with  his  in- 
dividual copy.  This  personal  service  in  book 
selection  for  busy  executives  has  done  much 
to  win  boosters  for  research  departments  and 
increase  appropriations.

Revised  Customs  Requirements  in  Exports 

to  Canada 


Invoices 

Certified  invoices  in  duplicate  are  required 
for  customs  entry.  These  invoices  (2)  are  to 
be  sent  by  the  exporter  as  usual  (by  mail)  to 
the  importer  of  his  agent  for  his  use  in  mak- 
ing entry  of  the  goods  at  the  customs  port  of 
destination  in  Canada.  The  importer  will  also 
require  a  third  copy  for  his  own  use. 

Invoice    Forms    and    Certificates 

Altho  the  invoice  forms  herein  are  approved 
by  the  Customs  Department,  it  will  be  permis- 
sible for  exporters  to  use  thelir  own  bill  heads, 
for  invoice  purposes,  provided  the  forms  be 
headed  with  the  words  "Selling  price  to  the 
purchaser  in  Canada"  and  "Fair  market  value 
as  sold  for  home  consumption  at  time  shipped," 
as  in  the  specimen  forms.  These  headings 
may  be  written,  printed  or  stamped  on  in- 
voices. 

The  marks  and  numbers  on  packages  and  the 
proper  commercial  designation  of  the  goods 
must  also  be  shown  on  invoices. 

Certificates  (to  be  written,  printed,  or 
stamped  on  the  front  or  back  of  the  invoice, 
but  not  pasted  thereon)  are  required  to  be 
signed  on  invoices  of  goods  sold  by  the  ex- 
porter prior  to  shipment. 


Valuation  for  Duty 

Whenever  any  duty  ad  valorem  is  imposed 
on  any  goods  imported  into  Canada,  the  value 
for  duty  shall  be  the  fair  market  value  thereof, 
when  sold  for  home  consumption,  in  the  prin- 
cipal market  of  the  country,  whence  and  at  the 
time  when  the  same  were  exported  directly  to 
Canada  such  value  in  no  case  to  be  lower  than 
the  wholesale  price  thereof  at  such  time  and 
place. 

Provided  that  the  value  for  duty  of  new  or 
unused  goods  shall  in  no  case  be  less  than  the 
actual  cost  of  productions  of  similar  goods  at 
date  of  shipment  direct  to  Canada,  plus  a 
reasonable  profit  thereon,  and  the  Minister  of 
Customs  and  Excise  shall  he  the  sole  Judge 
of  what  shall  constitute  a  reasonable  profit  in 
the  circumstances. 

The  Following  Certificate  of  Value  is  pre- 
scribed for  invoices  of  goods  sold  and  ex- 
ported to  Canada,  to  be  signed  by  the  exporter 
or  by  a  partner,  official  or  employee  of  the 
exporter  having  a  knowlege  of  the  facts  cer- 
tified to,  and  to  be  written,  printed  or  stamped 
on  the  invoice: 


Certificate  Form   "M"   Under   General   Tariff 

I,  the  undersigned,  do  hereby  certify  as  follows: 

(i)  that   I  am  the    (a)  *  exporter  of  the  goods   in   the  within   invoice 

mentioned  or  described: 

(2)  That  the  said  invoice  is  in  all  respects  correct  and  true : 

(3)  That  the  said  invoice  contains  a  true  and  full  statement  showing  the  price  actually 
'paid  or  to  be  paid  for  the  said  goods,  the  actual  quantity  thereof,  and  all  charges  thereon. 

(4)  That  the  said  invoice  also  exhibits  the  fair  market  value  of  the  said  goods  at  the 
time  and  place  of  their  direct  exportation  to  Canada  and  as  when  sold  at  the  same  time  and 
place  in  like  quantity  and  condition  for  home  consumption,  in  the  principal  markets  of  the 
country  whence  exported  directly  to  Canada  without  any  discount  or  deduction  for  cash,  or 
on  account  of  any  drawback  or  'bounty,  or  on  account  of  any  royalty  actually  payable  thereon 
or  payable  thereon  when  sold  for  home  consumption  but  not  payable  when  exported,  or  on 
account  of  the  exportation  thereof  or  for  any  special  consideration  whatever;  and  that  such 
fair  market  value  is  not  lower  than  the  wholesale  price  of  the  said  goods  at  the  said  time  and 
place;  and  that  in  the  case  of  new  and  unused  goods,  such  fair  market  value  is  not  less  than 
the  actual  cost  of  production  of  similar  goods  at  said  time  and  place,  plus  a  reasonable  profit 
thereon ; 

(5)  That  no  different  invoice  of  the  goods  mentioned  in  said  invoice  has  been  or  will  be 
furnished  to  any  one:  and 

(6)  That  no  arrangement  or  understanding  affecting  the  purchase  price  of  the  said  ifoods 
has  been  or  will  be  made  or  entered  into  between  that  said  exporter  and  -purchaser  or  by  any 
one  on  behalf  of  either  of  them  either  by  ways  of  discount,  rebate,  salary,  compensation,  or 
in  any  other  manner  whatsoever,  other  than  as  shown  in  the  said  invoice.

Canadian  Book-Trade  Problems 


AT  the  last  meeting  of  the  Canadian  Book- 
sellers' and  Stationers'  Association,  reso- 
lutions were  passed  putting  up  certain  situa- 
tions to  the  Canadian  publishers  of  Toronto 
which  the  booksellers  believed  were  vital  to 
the  trade  prosperity.  These  requests  received 
a  detailed  leply  from  the  Canadian  publishers, 
who  are  organized  as  the  Book  Publishers' 
Section  of  the  Toronto  Board  of  Trade. 

In  reply  to  the  request  for  a  maximum  dis- 
count to  libraries  of  20%,  the  publishers  re- 
plied that  "if  the  booksellers  in  return  for  the 
agreement  to  maintain  that  discount,  will  guar- 
antee that  the  library  business  will  remain  in 
Canada  where  it  belongs,  and  that  libraries 
will  co-operate  by  not  purchasing  from  jobbers 
in  London  or  New  York,  the  publishers  will 
be  glad  to  meet  them  on  that  ground." 

On  the  question  of  cash  disdounts  and  dat- 
ings,  the  publishers  agreed  to  give  2%  10  days 
on  certain  classes  of  books,  provided  that  the 
bookse^ers  will  accept  bank  rate  of  interest 
on  ioverdue  accounts.  The  publishers  agreed 
to  a  minimum  of  60  days  on  travelers'  orders 
with  mail  orders  at  30  days. 

In  tlie  matter  of  trade  discounts  the  pub- 
lishers stated  that  "they  regret  that  33  1-3% 
as  a  minimum  discount  on  all  books  is  quite 
imptQssible  without  raising  the  prices  all  around. 
In  the  case  of  many  books,  largely  fiction,  this 
discount  is  now  given  by  practically  every 
publisher,  but  as  there  are  so  many  books  where 


the  publisher's  agreement  with  his  priiKipal 
precludes  a  large  discount,  the  question  must 
be  left  to  the  settlement  with  individual  pub- 
lishers. Until  such  time  as  we  are  placed  in 
a  position  in  which  we  can  secure  the  same 
rate  on  repeat  orders  from  our  resources  of 
supply,  we  cannot  grant  the  request  of  the 
Association  in  regard  to  quantity  prices  for 
repeat  orders." 

On  the  fourth  point  raised,  the  publishers  felt 
that  books  were  now  sold  on  too  close  a  mar- 
gin to  allow  1%  per  month  on  Jannary  2nd 
dating. 

At  the  same  meeting  of  the  Booksellers' 
Association,  a  resoluition  was  passed  that  the 
United  States  publishers  be  asked  invariably 
to  observe  the  principle  of  granting  an  extra 
discount  of  10%  when  orders  are  sent  direct 
to  them  by  Canadian  booksellers. 

Why  Change  Your  Ad  Copy? 

PERSISTENCY  in  inserting  the  same  ad- 
vertisement, with  no  change  lof  wording  or 
illustration,  is  a  trait  of  some  advertisers. 

A  prospective  custonier  wrote  to  a  firm 
whose  advertisement  never  seemed  to  change: 

"Have  noted  your  picture  of  one  pair  cor- 
duroy pants  in  Home  Maga^^ine'  for  past  four 
months.  More  I  see  of  them  better  T  like 
them.  If  not  sold  as  yet,  please  enter  my 
order  for  same." — Forbes.

Canadian  Book  Week 

THERE  has  been  considerable  discussion  in. 
Canada  as  to  whether  Canadian  Book 
Week,  which  was  first  instituted  last  year, 
would  be  repeated  this  year.  The  Canadian 
Bookman,  devotes  some  space  in  the  May  num- 
ber to  giving  the  arguments  pro  and  con.  The 
two  arguments  most  frequently  urged  against 
the  Week  bloth  by  those  within  the  Canadian 
Authors'  Association  and  those  without  it  who 
oppose  its  repetition  are  that  it  is  undignified 
and  that  it  is  as  much  a  demand  upon  the 
Canadian  public  to  read  bad  Canadian  litera- 
ture as  good. 

The  Canadian  Bookman  says,  in  reply,  that 
since  the  critics  of  the  Week  do  not  point 
out  any  undignified  acts  in  connection  with  the 
observances,  the  charge  of  lack  of  dignity  seems 
to  fall  on  the  ao-operation  of  authors  and  pub- 
lishers, a  charge  which  upholders  of  the  Week 
are  unwilling  to  admiit.  In  answer  to  the 
second  charge  that  bad  authors  are  as  gener- 
ously promoted  as  the  good,  the  Canadian  Book- 
man replies  first  of  all  that  it  is  not  and  can- 
not be  the  function  of  the  Canadian  Authors' 
Association  to  discrtiminate  between  authors  all 
of  whom  may  be  members  of  the  Association. 
That  is  the  function  of  the  critics,  the  public 
and  posterity ;  and,  secondly,  that  even  if  a  man 
buys  a  poor  Canadian  book,  he  is  not  much 
worse  off  than  if  he  bougtht  an  equally  poor 
American  book,  a  jazz  record  or  seats  for  a 
wildly  iknpossible  movie  melodrama.  The  ma- 
jority of  the  Canadfian  Authors'  Association 
was  in  favor  of  the  repetition  of  the  propa- 
ganda this  year,  so  there  will  be  another  Can- 
adian Authors'  Week  to  be  called  Canadian 
Book  Week  early  in  November,  when  the  public 
will  be  reminded  that  it  owes  to  its  Canadian 
writers  the  duty  of  informing  itself  as  to  the 
merits  of  their  work  and  supporting  such  por- 
tions of  it  as  appear  worthy  of  support. 

Revision  of  Custom  Regulations 
and  Tariff  in  Canada 

THE  Commissioner  of  Finance  at  Ottawa 
presented  on  May  23rd  to  the  Parliament 
a  proposal  for  some  reductions  in  import  duties 
and  some  increases  in  general  sales  tax.  These 
changes  as  affecting  imported  goods  went  into 
operation  the  d^y  after  the  introduction  of  the 
budget  bill.  Most  of  the  reductions  affect  the 
the  preferential  scale  which  is  applied  to  pro- 
ducts of  the  British  Empire.  The  reductiions 
applying  to  the  Urtited  States  are  chiefly  on 
products  and  materials  used  in  farming,  dairy- 
ing and  other  important  Canadian  industries. 

The  sales  taxes  are  increased  one-half,  which 
will  advance  the  sales  tax  added  to  the  duties 
to  3H  per  cent  on  merchandise  when  sold  to 


w<holesalers,  and  to  6  per  cent  when  sold  to  re- 
tailers or  oonsumers. 

The  act  of  1921  to  maike  obligatory  the  mark- 
ing of  the  country  of  origin  on  all  imported 
gods  has  been  rescinded  without  ever  having 
been  actually  in  effect.  The  governor  is  still 
allowed  to  impose  such  a  requirement  at  his 
discretion. 

Book  Radio  from  Newark 

UNDER  arrangements  with  the  Westing- 
house  Company  at  Newark,  Miss  Humble 
of  the  Year  Round  Bookselling  Committee  has 
t)een  supplying  a  speaker  for  each  Sunday 
in  June.  On  June  nth,  William  Heyliger, 
author  of  "High  Benton,"  spoke  on  "X'acation 
Reading  for  Boys" ;  on  June  i8th,  S,  S.  Mc- 
Clure  on  "Books  I  Like";  on  June  25th,  John 
Farrar  on  "Important  Books  of  the  Past  Year." 
By  the  arrangesmenl  there  is  no  specific  pro- 
nation of  individual  titles  but  a  general  pro- 
motion of  the  reading  idea. 

Do  Actors  Read  ? 

A  LONDON  literary  paper  has  been  making 
an  investigation  to  answer  the  question, 
Do  actors  read?  The  answer  is  interesting  in 
its  details.  George  Robey,  a  leading  music 
hall  or  variety  comedian,  says  the  books  at 
present  in  his  stage  dressing  room  include: 
Bishop  Gore's  "Scientific  Basis  of  Morality.'' 
Hilaire    Belloc's   "The  Jew." 

Maurice      Maeterlinck's      "The      Treasure      of      the 
Humble." 

Phyllis  Neilson-Terry  thinks  perhaps  she 
enjoys  most: 

The   Works  of  Anatole   France 
and  among  recent  works: 

"Joanna   Godden." 
"If   Winter   Comes." 

Sir  Charles  Hawtry  recently,  when  recover-

How  the  A.  L.  A.     Book  List"  is  Made 


By  May  Massee 

Editor  of  "The  Book  List' 


THE  basis  oi  any  selected  list  is  a  matter 
of  specu/lation  to  the  uninitiated.  The 
whole  range  of  inclusions  and  rejections 
are  a  mild  mystery  tO'  those  who  do  not  have 
a  clue.  When  the  Annual  Summary  Number  of 
the  Publishers'  Weekly  appears  with  a  selected 
list  made  up  from  the  A.  L.  A.  Book  List, 
there  is  always  some  comment  on  the  basis  of 
the  selections.  May  Massee,  the  editor  of  the 
A.  L.  A.  Bolok  List,  recently  wrote  a  very  in- 
teresting letter  to  the  Publishers'  Lunch  Club 
explaining  the  workings  oi  the  A.  L.  A.  Book 
list,  Mr.  Harcourt  has  sent  it  to  the  Pub- 
lishers' Weekly  wtith  the  suggestion  that  it 
might  be  worthwhile  for  its  readers.  Miss 
Massee  says : 

"Your  interesting  letter  of  April  ii  gave  me 
a  long  pause,  as  you  see,  but  it  means  that  I 
have  taken  careful  stock  of  The  Booklist  as 
the  expression  of  library  book  buying. 

"You  aslk  me  how  The  Booklist  decisions 
are  made  and  which  books  are  regarded  of 
little  value  by  the  librarians.  Perhaps  one  can 
best  sum  this  up  by  describing  briefly  the  pro- 
cess of  selection  for  The  Booklist  and  then  by 
sketching  the  reasonis  for  rejection  of  a  number 
of  individual  volumes  which  are  among  the 
five-hundred-odd  also-rans  on  the  shelves  be- 
hind my  desk  this  minute. 

'All  the  puhlishers  which  would  l:)e  included 
on  the  twenty-five  list  you  mention  send  either 
all  their  books  or  all  but  their  most  special 
books.  We  make  a  card  for  each  book  show- 
ing author,  title,  pulblisher,  price  and  date. 
Besides  these  books  received  we  check  the  Pub- 
lishers' Weekly,  announcements  and  reviews 
for  fugitive  titles.  These  cards  accumulate 
for  one  month  and  all  the  titles  are  then  listed 
on  a  sheet  called  our  tentative  list. 

"These  tentatives  are  sent  to  over  fifty  pub- 
lic school,  special,  and  private  libraries  which 
are  near  book  centers  so  that  the  librarans  see 
the  books  as  soon  as  they  are  published.  The 
various  librarians  vote  -f  and  —  on  titles, 
double  plus  for  inclusion  on  any  list  and  double 
minus  for  exclusion  from  any  list.  (Some- 
times, not  often,  the  same  title  received  both 

a  -\—\-  ana ).     They  also  -send  notes  ion 

the  books. 

"Returned  to  the  office,  these  votes  and  notes 
with  all  other  reviews  and  individual  notes 
which  come  from  our  special  readers  are  in- 
dexed oo  each  book  card,  and  our  much  aug- 
mented file  gives  an  index  to  what  books  have 
been  published,  what  publishers  officially  think 
of   their  output,   what   professional    reviewers. 


amateurs  and  speoialists  in  the  field  think  of 
them  and  what  librarians  think  can  be  useful. 

"Then  it  remains  for  The  Booklist  to  choose 
the  books  that  respond  to  needs  and  to  decribe 
them  in  carefully  descriptive  notes. 

"Now  for  the  typical  discards — some  ex- 
amples from  the  general  publishers : 

"Here  are  three  books  on  marketing,  one 
'Principles  of  Marketing,'  one  'Marketing 
Agricultural  Products,'  one  'Efficient  Market- 
ing for  Agriculture.'  We  know  that  they  are 
all  good  books ;  our  records  show  that  we  have 
listed  in  The  Booklist  ten  books  on  marketing, 
thirty-nine  books  on  government  documents 
which  have  at  least  a  chapter  on  the  subject 
worthy  of  mention.  Five  of  the  ten  have  been 
published  dnce  1918,  .so  that  they  would  con- 
sider whatever  factors  had  changed  because  of 
war  conditions.  The  inference  is  obvious ;  it 
is  necessary  for  The  Booklist,  that  is,  the 
libraries,  to  make  sure  that  these  books  are 
adding  to  the  subject  some  features  not  al- 
ready covered,  or  that  they  present  the  subject 
so  much  more  clearly  that  they  replace  the 
books  already  bought  by  libraries. 

"Of  course,  manketiing  has  become  a  text 
book  subject  which  explains  the  publishing  zeal 
but  there  can  hardly  be  much  general  library 
market  for  a  subject  already  well  covered 
unless  some  genius  goes  to  the  making  of  the 
new  book;  thio  there  is  a  possible  sale  for 
libraries  which  diid  not  buy  the  earlier  books. 

"Here  is  a  biography  of  a  queen.  She  is  or 
rather  was  a  very  beautiful  queen  and  many 
portraits  of  herself  and  family  at  various  ages 
adorn  the  pages.  The  paper  is  bulky,  the  type 
large,  the  text  most  laudatory,  the  price  five 
dollars.  Any  library  that  wants  it  can  pick  it 
up  from  remainder  lists  in  a  year's  time. 

"Here  is  another  biography.  This  time  an 
eminent  man  but  not  pre-eminent.  The  vol- 
umes are  a  beautiful  tribute  to  the  deceased 
and  cost  ten  dollars.  Can  the  libraries  afford 
to  pay  the  tribute?  The  subject  of  padded 
and  expensive  biographies  is  a  very  tender  one 
with  library  book  funds. 

"We  pass  gently  by  two  volumes  of  the 
uncollected  works  of  a  great  man  who  pub- 
lished much  of  his  good  and  most  of  his  bad 
work  before  he  died.  The  average  library 
does  not  have  that  passion  for  completeness. 

"Three  books  on  popularized  psjxhoanalysis 
because  the  best  authorities  are  available  and 
libraries  might  better  duplicate  those  than  add 
others. 

"Two    books    oni    spiritualism — subject    gone

baok  to  average  normal  interest  and  plenty  on 
the  shelves  already. 

"Another  hook  of  essay-ettes  that  just  didn't 
happen  to  hit. 

"A  wild-eyed  book  on  Ireland.  Libraries 
wish  to  buy  the  best  books  that  present  both 
sides  of  controversial  questions  and  avoid  the 
rest. 

"I  could  go  on  indefinitely,  especially  if  I 
dared  take  up  fiction  or  children's  books,  but 
if  you  felt  it  necessary  to  apologize  for  the 
length  of  your  letter  I  must  reverse  the  apology 
and  double  it  for  mine. 

"However,  it  seems  that  libraries  take  and 
reject  books   for  much  the  same  reasons  that 


175 1 

publishers  take  or  reject  manuscripts,  and  very 
often  the  lack  of  money  is  the  strongest  de- 
ciding factor.  Beyond  that  it  seems  that 
librar'ies  are  conservative  book  buyers;  they 
try  to  cover  all  expressions  of  human  interest, 
but  keep  on  the  main  lines  most  of  the  time, 
and  that,  because  of  the  duplicaticMi  of  titles 
and  the  limiting  of  book  funds  it  is  no  longer 
possible  to  bank  on  a  library  sale  to  cover 
the  printing  costs  of  almost  any  good  serious 
book. 

"Under  separate  cover  I  am  sending  you 
some  sample  Booklists,  tentatives,  and  criti- 
cism slips  to  use  if  you  think  the  publishers 
WK>uld  care  to  have  them  in  hand.*' 


The  International  Book  Fair  at  Florence 

By  Dr.  Karl  Blanck 

Of  the  German  Society  for  the  Foreign  Book-Trade 


THE  International  Book  Fair  at  Florence 
was  opened  in  May  with  great  aplomb 
and  festive  ceremony.  Florence  had 
donned  her  fairest  robes,  and  the  streets  and 
public  places  from  the  railway  station  to  Gar- 
dens of  the  Boboli,  the  Piazza  della  Signoria 
and  the  Ponte  Vecchio  were  a  feast  of  color, 
fluttering  and  blazing  with  the  flags  of  all 
nations.  There  was  also  a  great  display  of 
military  fringings  and  of  dignitaries  in  robes 
and  gold  chains.  The  venerable  Duke  of  Genoa 
opened  the  exhibition  in  the  name  of  the  King, 
heralds  with  silver  trumpets  blew  fanfare,  and 
then  the  gigantic  Salone  del'  Cinquecento  opened 
its  doors  to  the  representatives  of  the  different 
nations  and  to  the  public.  There  were  addi- 
tional speeches  by  the  heads  of  the  various 
delegations  and  by  the  city  authorities.  The 
great  cultural  significance  of  the  show  was 
emphasized  by  all  and  also  its  value  as  an 
agency  for  the  furtherance  of  peace  and  under- 
standing. 

The  Italian  section  of  the  Book  Fair  was 
naturally  the  most  extensive  and  elaborate.  It 
filled  several  great  salles,  and  included  a  hall 
devoted  to  the  display  of  Italian  book  posters, 
all  alive  with  the  rich  color  and  splendid  line 
for  which  this  branch  of  Italian  art  is  famous. 
Another  room  was  devoted  to  various  machines 
used  in  the  printing  or  binding  of  books.  The 
products  of  the  great  Italian  publishing  houses 
were  shown  to  great  advantage  in  well-ar- 
ranged, tasteful  and  characteristic  displays,  all 
of  them  true  to  the  traditional  Italian  style, 
and  even  to  the  tradition  of  the  old  publishing 
towns  of  Rome  and  Florence,  Milan  and 
Bologna.  Great  and  costly  treasures  were 
exhibited  here,  especially  in  the  field  of  the 
bibliophilic  and  of  de  luxe  editions,  new  edi- 


tions of  the  classics,  scientific  works,  belles 
lettres,  the  graphic  arts,  art  publications  and 
juvenile!  literature. 

This  clinging  to  tradition,  to  the  high  aiid 
fine  tradition  of  the  Renaissance,  is  obvious  in 
the  l3ooks  produced  by  the  big  publishers  of 
Italy  who  form,  in  fact,  a  kind  of  oligarchy. 
The  most  modern  tendency  is  visible  in  their 
handsomely  illustrated  books  for  the  young — 
these  are  radiant  with  color  and  are  full  of 
chaste  yet  striking  innovations  in  decoration. 
But  in  general  there  is  a  certain  uniformity 
observable  among  the  old  patrician  publishers. 
Each  house  lias  erected  a  kind  of  altar  within 
a  niche  and  on  this  the  choicest,  most  perfect 
specimens  of  its  books  have  been  pile<!  with 
reverent  care.  Here  we  see  the  exhibits  of 
Alinari,  Ricordi,  Barbera,  Bemix»rad,  Sansoiii, 
the  Alonima  Libraria  Italiana,  Bel  forte,  Idel- 
son,  Treves,  Zanichelli,  Mondadori,  La  Voce 
and  others.  The  miniature  editions  of  the 
Collezione  Diamante  (Barbera)  arc  supreme 
examples  of  the  book  in  petto  and  measure 
no  more  than  2^^  x  y/i  inches.  The  house  of 
Olschki  has  a  series  of  wonderful  reprints, 
among  them  a  translation  of  "Volkmann's 
Iconographia  Dantcsca." 

The  section  devoted  to  the  books  of  Anxi; 
can  publishers  is,  unfortunately,  far  from  com- 
plete. Tlie  English  section  was  decorated  with 
beautiful  Renaissance  furniture,  hut  apart  from 
the  productions  of  the  Medici  Society,  it  con- 
tains little  more  than  displays  of  books  de- 
voted to  Italy.  There  is  a  great  deal  of  sub- 
stantially fine  and  orthodox  work  in  these 
volumes,  but  they  are  not,  in  the  main,  dis- 
tinguished by  the  rarificd  art  of  the  Julians 
nor  by  the  bold  and  individualistic  innovations 
of  the  Germans. 


i/5a 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


The  German  section  was  established  in  the 
center  of  the  vast  building,  instead  of  being 
lined  along  the  walls,  as  was  the  case  with 
the  other  foreign  exhibits.  Over  a  hundred 
of  the  foremost  firms  in  Germany  were  repre- 
sented, and  the  whole  was  organized  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Deutsche  Gesellschaft  fur 
Auslandsbuchhandel  (German  Society  for  the 
Foreign  Book-Trade).  The  tables,  shelves  and 
show-cases  revealed  a  bewildering  wealth  of 
new  things  and  of  old  wine  in  new  bottles. 
There  were  many  new  editions  of  the  classics, 
not  only  the  German  classics,  but'  those  of  all 
nations,  countless  sets  of  ancient  and  modern 
authors  or  works  in  series,  amazing  monuments 
of  toil  and  study,  books  of  and  about  music, 
books  of  reference,  books  in  foreign  tongues. 
atlases,  maps,  charts.  Arranged  in  cases  along 
the  bays,  one  saw  huge  portfolios  of  etchings, 
editions  de  luxe,  sometimes  limited  to  ten 
copies,  booklovers'  special  editions.  The  pub- 
lishers who  have  distinguished  themselves  most 
in  the  field  of  the  book  beautiful  are  the  Rikola 
Verlag  of  Vienna,  Richard  Bong  of  Berlin,  and 
the  Insel  Verlag  wilth  its  handsome  polyglot 
editions.  Kurt  Wolflf  of  IMunich  made  a  de- 
lightful display  of  decorative  volumes,  some  of 
tem  extremely  bizarre  yet  fascinating,  strik- 
ing a  new  note,  and  striking  it  boldly.  The 
Hyperion  Verlag  showed  some  masterly  vol- 
umes, opulent  and  costly.  George  Miiller  of 
Munich  showed  a  great  array  of  magnificent 
volumes  garmented  in  leather. 

The  German  Pavilion 

The  core  or  central  feature  of  the  German 
section  which  aroused  great  interest  and  en- 
thusiasm was  a  kind  of  temple  dedicated  to 
the  book  and  designed  by  the  well-known  archi- 
tect RajTnund  Brachmann  of  Leipzig.  It  con- 
sists lof  a  slender  pavilion  of  delicate  propor- 
tions with  much  delicate  tracery.  In  the  in^- 
tcrior  all  the  types  of  books  which  have  been 
evolved  in  .Germany  are  displayed  in  their  order 
and  also  in  their  detailed  evolution — the  learned 
book,  the  book  of  poetry  and  art,  the  book 
devoted  to  music,  the  single  book,  the  complete 
edition,  the  collective  series.  A  certain  order 
pursued  in  correlating  these  units— as  follows: 
the  Cosmos,  the  Earth,  Man,  the  Nations,  the 
Culture  of  the  Nations,  Knowledge  and  Work, 
History  and  Politics,  Law  and  Traffic,  Poetry' 
Art  and  Music.  Within  these  categories  all 
the  activities  of  the  human  spirit  are  comprised, 
and  the  visitor  obtains  a  kind  of  panoramic 
view  of  the  function  of  the  book  and  of  its 
tremendous  significance  to  civilization. 

The  French  exhibitors  strove  to  "combine  a 
certain  systematic  grouping  in  combination  with 
decorative  eflFects.  They  divided  the  displays 
into  sections  according  to  the  branch  of  knowl- 
edge treated.  The  house  of  Hachette  may  be 
»aid  to  have  the  pre-eminence  here.     The  ten- 


acity with  which  the  French  cling  to  their 
favorite  styles  and  to  the  old,  time-honored 
forms  and  traditions  was  also  conspicuous  here 
and  was  in  refined  harmony  with  the  architec- 
ture of  the  surroundings.  There  was,  however, 
much  confusion  in  the  categories.  The  French 
classics  were  excellent  in  the  quality  of  the 
work  the  technical  skill  displayed,  but  it  was 
the  repetition  of  the  oft-repeated,  and  in  this 
sense  affected  one  with  a  longing  for  more 
originality.  There  were  many  fine  editions  de 
luxe  but  the  monotony  of  the  yellow  paper- 
bound  novel  was  visible  in  the  exhibits  of  every 
firm  and  there  were  many  of  the  rather  trivial 
and  old-fashioned  "decorated"  title-pages  to 
which  the  French  still  cling.  The  house  of 
Plon-Nourrit  had  a  charming  series  of  artistic 
bindings. 

The  Hungarian  exhibit  had  not  yet  arrived, 
nor  the  Japanese.  The  Spanish  section  was  also 
distinguished  chiefly  by  empty  glass-cases.  The 
Russians  were  working  feverishly  and  there 
are  no  doubt,  many  surprises  to  be  expected 
from  this  direction.  In  Berlin  alone  there  are 
now  over  eighteen  Russian  publishing  firms. 
The  Poles  made  a  very  creditable  showing,  and 
also  displayed  a  great  deal  of  handicraft  work. 

There  is  no  doubt  that  this  exhibition  wlill  do 
more  to  bring  about  an  understanding  between 
the  peoples  than  half  a  dozen  political — 
economic — ffinancial  conferences.  This  was  also 
the  Leit-motif  of  all  the  speeches  which  were 
made  at  the  official  banquet.  The  book  was  to 
become  a  civilizing,  enlightening,  pacifying 
instrument  in  a  greater  degree  than  ever  before, 
more  potent  than  the  portfolio  of  the  diplomat, 
the  bonds  of  the  great  international  finandiers. 
In  addition  to  this  purely  cultural  mission  of 
the  Florence  Book  Fair,  the  commercial  side 
of  the  enterprise  also  needs  emphasizing — for 
even  during  the  first  days  after  the  opening, 
lively  bartering  and  ordering  ensued.

BOOKSELLINiG  IN  '49 

THE  SACRAMENTO  CELEBRATION  OF  THE  "DAYS  OF  '49"  WAS  BACKED  BY  GREAT  ENTHUSIASM 
AND  INGENUITY.  PURNELL's  BOOKSTORE  PUT  ON  A  PIONEER  ASPECT  BY  COMPLETELY  COVER- 
ING THE  FRONT  OF  THE  SHOP  WITH  CANVAS,  SO  THAT  THE  WINDOWS  AND  UPPER  SPACE 
HAD  ALL  THE  APPEARANCE  OF  EARLY  DAYS,  AND  EVEN  THE  SIGN  BOARD  TOOK  ON  THE 
FANCY    LETTERING    THAT    WAS    A    CHARACTERISTIC   OF    THE    MIDDLE    NINETEENTH    CENTURY. 


A  "One-Foot"  Shelf  of  Books 

College  Course  Leads  up  to  Home  Libraries 


NOT  everyone  can  have  a  Five-Foot  Book 
Shelf  of  the  kind  made  famous  by  Dr. 
Eliot.  Perhaps  a  want  of  sufficient  space, 
perhaps  a  lack  of  adequate  funds  keeps  many 
people  from  having  one  in  their  homes.  But 
when  it  comes  to  having  a  One-Foot  Shelf  of 
books  neither  excuse  holds.  A  compact  library 
of  the  one-foot  variety  takes  up  little  room 
and  need  cost  no  more  than  fifteen  dollars — 
what's  more,  its  quality  is  in  no  wise  dependent 
on  size  or  price,  and  books  representative  of 
the  world's  best  literature  may  find  a  place 
on  it. 

Out  in  Lenox  College,  Iowa,  they  have  a 
"Home  Library"  course  which  the  instructor, 
Maud  A.  Earhart,  describes  as  ''seeking  to 
do  for  the  intellectual  life  what  courses  in 
cookery  and  hygiene  do  for  the  physical." 
After  giving  the  students  standards  with  which 
to  judge  intelligently  both  the  material  make- 
up and  the  content  of  books,  the  course  aims 
to  encourage  them  in  building  their  own  home 
libraries.  In  connection  with  this  latter  and 
more  practical  phase  of  the  course,  some  per- 
tinent suggestions  about  really  building  a  one- 
foot  shelf  of  books  are  given. 


Miss   Earfiart's  class  lectures  are  upon  the 
following  topics : 

I — Preliminary   discussion  upon  the  purpose 
and  the  plan  of  the  course. 

II— The    equipment    for    the    care    of    the 
library. 

Ill— The  book  plate  and  other  desirable  ac- 
cessories of  the  library. 

IV— The  physical  make-up  of  the  book. 

V — The  test  of  a  worthwhile  book. 

VI-IX — The  divisions  of  literature  and  illus- 
trations of  each. 

X — ^Books  for  increasing  efficiency  in  special 
lines  of  work. 

XI — Places  for  procuring  inexpensive  books. 

XII — Suggestions   for   special  shelves* 

Outside  readings  are  required  from  the  fol- 
lowing : 

"Instruction  in  the  Use  of  Bootes  and  Libra- 
ries."    By  Faye-Eatoii. 

"Books   and   Their    Makers    in   the   Middle

1754 

This  unique  college  course  draws  to  it  special 
comment,  but  viewing  it  from  the  broader 
angle  of  its  influence  on  the  community  thru 
extension  talks  given  at  farm  bureaus  and 
neighborhood  clubs,  it  awakens  all  booklovers 
to  the  possibilities  of  increasing  the  interest  of 
the  general  public  in  a  love  of  good  books  and 
reading.  Get  them  to  fill  a  one-foot  space 
with  a  row  of  worthwhile  books  and  the  rest 
is  easy. 

"To  add  a  library  to  a  house  is  to  give  that 
house  a  soul" — it  is  this  which  Miss  Eai^hart 
emphasizes  in  her  course  and  adds  the  words 
of  Lyman  Abbot  that  "a  home  ought  no  more 
to  be  without  a  library  than  without  a  dining 
room  or  kitchen."  As  one  tentative  suggestion 
for  starting  a  library  on  a  one-foot  ishelf  she 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 

mentions  the  following  books.  All  of  them 
can  ibe  procured  for  less  than  fifteen  dollars: — 

The  Bible 

A  Dictionary 

Green's   History  of   the   English   People 

A  Good  Book  of  Travel 

Franklin's  Autobiography 

Poems  of  Tennyson 

Poems  of  Longfellow 

Thackeray's  "Henry  Esmond" 

Hawthorne's  'The  Scarlet  Letter" 

Emerson's  Essays 

Shakespeare's  "The  Tempest;"  "Hamlet." 

A  'habit  once  formed  is  'hard  to  break.  This 
one  of  collecting  books  no  one  will  want  to 
break.

Unpaid  Creators  of  New  Book  Business 

By  William  R.   Reinicke 


PART  II. 


THAT  insects  did  cause  enough  damage  to 
ibooks  to  invite  notice  may  be  seen  by  the 
fact  that  the  Royal  Society  of  Sciences  at 
Gottengen  thought  it  of  sufficient  consequence  to 
propose  in  their  assembly  on  the  loth  of  July, 
'^773.  a  prize  to  be  given  to  him  who  delivered 
the  best  answers  to  the  following  questions: 
How  many  kinds  of  insects  are  found  which 
are  detrimental  to  records  and  books?  Which 
of  the  materials,  glue,  leather,  wood,  thread 
paper,  etc.,  were  attacked  by  each  kind?  And 
which  is  the  best  and  most  approved  remedy, 
either  to  preserve  records  and  books  against 
insects,  or  tio  destroy  the  insects?  Among  the 
numerous  answers  received,  Dr.  Herman,  of 
Strasburg,  obtained  the  prize. 

"To  preserve  the  records  and  books  against 
insects,  and  to  destroy  them,  it  is  proposed : 
I.  To  abolish  binding  books  with  wood.  2. 
To  recommend  to  the  bookbinder  to  use  glue 
mixed  with  alum  instead  of  paste.  3.  To 
brush  all  worm-eaten  wood  in  the  repositories 
of  books  with  oil  or  lac- varnish.  4.  To  pre- 
serve books  bound  in  calf  brush  them  over 
with  thin  lac-varnish.  5.  To  allow  no  books 
to  lie  flat  on  shelves.  6.  To  preserve  papers, 
letters,  documents,  etc.,  in  drawens,  to  cut  out 
the  wafers  and  to  use  no  paste,  etc.,  between 
tihem.  7.  To  use  no  woolen  cloth,  nor  to  wax  the 
thread  in  bending.  8,  To  dust  and  air  the  books 
often.  9.  To  use  laths,  separated  one  from  the 
other  one  inch,  in  place  of  shelves.  10.  To 
'brush  over  the  insiides  of  bookcases  and  the 
laths  with  lac-varnish. 

In  1900,  the  Congress  International  des 
Bibliothecaires,  which  met  in  Paris,  offered  a 
number  of  prizes  for  the  best  essays  on  insect 
enemies  of  books,  and  in  1903,  the  book  by  G. 
Houlbert,  "Les  insectes  ennemis  des  livres" 
which  received  the  second  prize  was  published. 
Dr.  Fisher,  in  his  endeavor  to  kill  the  insects 
in  the  books  found  in  his  library  tried  the 
following : 

Heat  as  Exterminator 
After  all  books  had  been  cleaned  out  it  was 
suggested  that  the  volume  in  which  the  larvae 
had  been  found  be  submitted  to  a  high  degree 
of  temperature,  and  this  was  done.  Thru  the 
courtesy  of  Daniel  D.  Test,  Superintendent  of 
the  Pennsylvania  hospital,  we  were  permitted 
to  use  their  apparatus  for  hot  air  treatment, 
and  balked  a  number  of  volumes  of  different 
sizes,  propping  the  leaves  open  when  possible, 
and  keeping  the  temperature  at  about  350  de- 
grees for  at  least  ten  minutes  for  each  lot  of 


books.  Some  of  these  volumes  have  been  ex- 
amined from  time  to  time,  since  1901,  and  there 
is  no  evidence  of  additional  ravages  by  the  book- 
worm. 

Various  forms  of  traps  have  been  very  suc- 
cessfully employed  in  England  and  the  continent 
of  Europe  as  a  means  of  catching  and  destroy- 
ing roaches.  These  devices  are  all  so  con- 
structed that  the  roaches  may  easily  get  into 
them  and  cannot  afterwards  escape.  The  de- 
struction of  the  roaches  is  effected  either  by 
a  liquid  into  which  they  fall  or  by  dousing  them 
with  hot  water. 

The  Glass  Trap  Method 
A  few  of  the  common  forms  of  traps  and 
the  methods  of  using  them  are  here  described. 
A  French  trap  consists  of  a  box  containing  an 
attractive  bait,  the  cover  of  which  is  replaced 
by  four  glass  plates  inclined  toward  the  center. 
The  roaches  fall  from  the  covering  glasses  into 
the  box  and  are  unable  to  escape.  Houlbert 
states  that  G.  O.  Tupper  employed  the  following 
remedy  at  Adelaide,  South  Australia,  with  great 
success  on  roaches. 

He  placed  one  part  of  plaster  of  paris  in  three 
or  four  parts  of  flour  in  a  saucer,  and  connected 
this  saucer  with  another  containing  water  by 
little  bridges.  The  roaches  in  eating  the  flour 
also  consume  some  of  the  plaster  of  paris,  and 
becoming  thirsty  walk  over  the  bridge  to  the 
saucer  containing  water,  and  the  water  acting 
upon  the  dry  plaster  eaten,  causes  it  to  swdl 
and  harden  in  the  roaches,  and  most  likely  stops 
up  the  digestive  organs,  and  the  insect  dies 
from  starvation.  This  would  also  be  a  good 
plan  to  rid  a  building  of  mice  and  rats. 

Lcpisma  (silver  fish)  are  also  trapped  in 
the  same  manner  as  the  Blattidac.  A  b<3X  with 
rough  edges  and  a  hole  at  the  upper  end  to 
allow  the  insects  to  gain  access  easily,  is  baited 
with  paper  covered  with  paste,  placed  in  a  dark 
corner  of  the  library  where  they  congregate. 
From  time  to  time  the  box  may  be  emptied,  the 
contents  destroyed  and  the  bait  renewed.  To 
protect  the  bindings  from  Lepisma  who  destroy 
them  in  order  to  get  at  the  paste  used,  a  poison- 
ous remedy  is  made  of  i  gr.  of  bichloride  of 
mercury  to  5  kilogrammes  of  dough. 

The  following  is  given  as  a  remedy  for  ter- 
mites or  white  ants:  The  first  means  of  protec- 
tion, consists  of  surrounding  all  libraries  or 
buildings  in  which  arh'clcs  of  value  are  stored 
with  clear  spaces  and  graveled  or  asphalted 
walks.  The  normal  habit  of  these  insects  is  to 
breed  in  decayed  stumps  and   partially   rotted 


1756

posts  or  boards.  This  immediately  suggests 
the  wisdom  of  the  prompt  removal  of  all  such 
material  as  would  otherwise  facilitate  the 
formation  or  perpetuation  of  their  colonies. 
Complete  dryness  in  (buildings  is  an  important 
means  of  rendering  them  safe  from  attack,  aiid 
the  presence  of  flying  termites  at  any  time  in 
the  spring  or  summer  should  be  followed  im- 
mediately by  a  prompt  investigation  to  locate 
the  colony  and  determine  the  possibilities  of 
damage.  The  point  of  emergence  of  winged 
individuals  may  approximately,  tho  not  always, 
indicate  the  location  of  the  colony,  and  if  it 
can  be  got  at  by  the  removal  of  flooring  or 
opening  of  walls,  the  colony  may  be  destroyed 
by  the  removal  of  the  decaying  or  weakened 
timbers  and  thru  drenching  with  steam,  hot 
water,  or,  preferably,  kerosene  or  some  other 
petroleum  oil.  The  destruction  of  winged  in- 
dividuals as  they  emerge  is  of  no  value  what- 
ever; the  colony  itself  must  be  reached  or  future 
damage  will  not  be  interfered  with  in  the  least. 
If  the  colony  be  inaccessible  it  may  sometimes 
be  possible  to  inject  into  the  wall  or  crevices, 
from  which  the  winged  individuals  are  emerg- 
ing, kerosene  in  sufficient  quantity  to  reach  the 
main  nest,  if  the  condition  be  such  ais  to  indicate 
that  it  may  be  nearby,  and  by  this  means  most, 
if  not  all,  of  the  inmates  may  be  destroyed.  In 
all  districts  in  the  south  frequent  examinations 


of  libraries  and  stored  paper  should  be  made. 
The  advisability,  in  regions  where  the.  ant  is 
likely  to  be  especially  destructive,  of  giving  all 
buildings  a  stone  foundation  or  imbedding  all 
the  lower  (timbers  and  joints  in  cement  will 
be  at  once  evident. 

Hydrocyanic  and  gas  is  another  remedy  sug- 
gested and  today  is  extensively  used  to  destroy 
vermin  of  various  kinds,  and,  as  it  is  extremely 
dangerous,  should  be  used  by  experts  only. 
There  are  hundreds  of  remedies  given  in 
various  papers  upon  bookworms,  some  of  them 
claiming  to  be  successful,  while  again  the  sup- 
posed remedy  is  said  to  be  a  failure  by  another 
writer.  I  do  know  that  many  poisons  instead 
of  killing  insects,  attract  them. 

I  cannot  name  any  remedy  that  will  save  the 
books  already  printed,  but  have  been  making 
experiments  for  a  number  of  years  upon  a  pre- 
ventative for  books  to  be  printed  in  the  future, 
and  so  far  the  tests  have  been  quite  successful. 

The  work  of  Houlbert  is  the  most  complete 
work  that  has  been  published  up  to  the  present. 
It  contains  a  description  and  illustration  of 
most  of  the  species  mentioned,  to  assist  in 
diistinguishing  the  species. 

The  two  bodks  familiar  to  English  readers, 
are  Blades,  "Enemies  of  Books,"  and  O'Conor, 
"Facts  about  Book-worms."

Ex-Kaiser     W  i  l  - 
HELM    has    written    a 
book     recalling     the 
days      he      spent      in 
Corfu  before  the  war. 
The  book  will  be  pub- 
lished in  Berlin  in  the 
fall.      The    ex-Kaiser 
was     the    patron    of 
Professor        Wilhelm 
Dorpfield,  upon  whose 
theories  about  the  re- 
mains   of    Corfu,    the 
ex-Kaiser's   book  will 
be   based.      Professor 
Dorpfield     has      been 
working    on    Greek 
classical    remains    for 
over   forty-five  years. 
His     most     important 
excavations   at   Corfu 
have  been  on  the  site 
of       the       so-called 
Temple  of  Gorgo.    His 
theories     about     the 
ruinis  there   are   m!ost 
unorthodox,   including 
the    theory    that    the 
goddess  occupying  the 
central    place    is    not 

Artemis  but  the  Sun,  and  that  the  earliest  set- 
tlers at  Corfu  as  at  Mycene  were  not  Cretian 
but  Phoenician,  and  that  the  Phoenicians  are 
originally  from  the  East. 

"Selected  Poems"  by  Laurence  Binyon  is 
now  published  in  this  country  by  Macmillan. 
Hitherto  in  this  country  Mr.  Binyon  has  been 
represented  by  a  single  book,  his  war  poems, 
but  in  England  a  dozen  or  so  volumes  have 
been  published. 

The  birthday  honors  list  includes  the  names 
of  twto  authors  who  became  knights:  Charles 
Dickens,  son  of  Henry  Fielding  Dickens,  and 
A.  Maurice  Low,  English  author  and  journalist 
of  Washington,  D.  C. 

Rockwell  Kent,  the  American  artist,  author 
of  "Wilderness"  wherein  he  describes  a  year 
spent  with  his  nine-year-old  son  on  an  Alaskan 
Island,  has  juist  left  on  a  tramp  steamer  for 
Patagonia.  Mr.  Kent  will  put  in  some  eight 
months  on  the  southernmost  tip  of  South  Amer- 
ica, painting,  drawing,  and  preparing  an  illus- 
trated book  of  exploration  which  Putnam  will 
publish  next  year.

British  Museum  natural  history  publications. 

A  REVISED  edition  of  Kate  Oglebay.'s  "Flays 
for  Children,  A  Selected  List"  has  recently 
been  prepared  by  the  H.  W.  Wilson  Co.  More 
than  one-third  of  the  titles  are  new,  but  the 
book  is  classified  as  before. 

Henry  Holt  &  Co.  have  featured  a  descrip- 
tive pamphlet  al>out  Walter  dc  la  Mare's  poeti- 
cal works,  which  is  very  interesting.  It  con- 
tains a  brief  sketch  of  dc  la  Mare's  life,  a 
portrait  and  an  informal  snapshot  of  him,  a 
list  of  his  works  pirfilished  by  Holt,  including 
some  of  his  verses  with  illustrations. 

Another  interesting  booklet' of  recent  date 
is  the  Poetry  Piper,  issued  by  Houghton 
Mifflin.  It  shows  that  the  Houghton  list  in- 
cludes a  striking  number  of  volumes  in  mod- 
em poetry,  wh'th  a  good  representation  of  an- 
thologies and  children's  verse.

Harper' s  Buy  Ex-Kaiser' s  Memoirs 

AFTER  a  lively  competition,  the  world- 
wide rights,  excluding  German  language 
rights,  to  Wilhelm  II's  memoirs  were  sold  by 
the  Leipzig  Publishing  House,  which  is  the 
former  Kaiser's  agent,  to  an  organization  of 
newspapers  headed  by  the  New  York  Times 
and  the  McClure  Newspaper  Syndicate  and  to 
Harper  &  Brothers.  Harper  &  Brothers  will 
have  the  American  and  Canadian  book  rights. 
Cassell  &  Company  of  London  will  have  the 
English  and  Colonial  book  rights.  The  Austro- 
German  territory  has  been  reserved  by  the  , 
German  publisher.  Among  the  newspapers 
which  will  publish  the  book  serially  are  the 
New  York  Times,  the  London  Sunday  Times, 
Chicago  Daily  News,  St.  Louis  Globe-Demo- 
crat, the  Cleveland  Plain  Dealer,  the  Pitts- 
burgh Gazette-Times,  the  Detroit  News,  the 
Boston  Post,  the  San  Francisco  Bulletin,  the 
Denver  Post,  etc.  The  amount  paid  for  the 
world  rights  to  these  memoirs  is  said  to  be  the 
highest  cash  figure  in  the  whole  history  of 
literature  and  publication,  about  $250,000  or 
50,000,000  marks.  Clinton  T.  Brainerd,  Presi- 
dent of  Harper  &  B'rothers  and  of  the  Mc- 
Clure Newspaper  Syndicate,  says  that  the 
serial  publication  will  begin  about  the  ist  of 
September,  and  that  the  book  will  be  pub- 
lished in  November. 

The   Currency   Situation   in 
Germany 

THE  Department  of  Commerce  reports  for 
June  give  some  interesting  facts  about  the 
situation  in  international  commerce  of  Ger- 
many as  affected  by  their  currency  situation. 
They  point  out  the  impossibility  of  conducting 
trade  with  Germany  on  anything  but  a  specu- 
lative basis.  German  manufacturers  decline 
and  must  decline  to  ofifer  fixed  prices  except 
for  a  limited  quantity  of  goods  already  in 
stock.  Many  German  industries  have  no  wage 
agreements  made  for  a  longer  period  than  a 
month. 

A  further  element  of  insecurity,  the  report 
goes  on  to  say,  is  the  s-ystem  of  levying  export 
supplements,  intended  to  bring  the  price  of 
German  exports  closer  to  the  prevailing  price 
in  the  importing  country.  Theoretically  the 
principle  seems  justified.  The  difficulties  of 
administration  are  great.  No  system  of  sell- 
ing in  dollars  or  other  high  exchange  cur- 
rencies can  relieve  German  manufacturers  of 
the  necessity  of  changing  prices.  A  recent 
decision  of  the  Leipzig  Reichsgertcht  obliges 
parties  to  accept  goods  at  higher  prices,  pro- 
vided the  court  considers  the  amount  justifi- 
able. The  only  way  a  foreign  buyer  can  pro- 
tect himself  is  to  have  specific  phrases  to  cover 
this  in  the  contract. 


Commenting  on  living  conditions,  the  Gov- 
ernment report  gives  figures  that  put  whole- 
sale prices  at  525  as  compared  to  100  in  1920. 
family  living  expenses  at  2,300  as  compared 
to  100  in  1914. 

Good  News! 

Wednesday,  July  12th,  has  been  selected 
this  year  for  Bookmen's  Field  Day  in 
Chicago — the  "play-day"  of  the  Book  Fair. 

The  Committee  has  been  fortunate  enough 
to  secure  the  privileges  of  the  Calumet 
Country  Qub  for  these  annual  festivities — 
Come   if  you  can ! 

Prosecuted  for  Blasphemous 
Libel 

J  GLOVER,  publisher  of  The  Maoriland 
•  Worker,  has  been  convicted  by  a  New 
Zealand  grand  jury  of  blasphemous  libel  be- 
cause he  published  in  his  columns  Seigfried 
Sassoon's  "Stand-to,  Good  Friday  Morn." 
The  Dominion  law  rules  that  blasphemous 
libell  is  prohibited  under  pain  of  fine  or 
imprisonment,  and  that  under  this  law  a  sub- 
ject of  a  religious  and  sacred  nature  must  be 
dealt  with  in  decent  language.  The  judge  in 
charging  the  jury  explained  that  the  law  was 
designed  to  prevent  bdtter  feelings  and 
l)reaches  of  the  peace.  The  jury  found  the 
publisher  guilty. 

General  Book  Promotion 

ONE  of  the  features  of  the  new  daily  book 
page  in  the  London  Times  has  been  the 
advertisements  prepared  by  the  Times  itself  on 
the  general  subject  of  the  importance  and  the 
use  of  books.  These  display  articles  promin- 
ently placed  in  double  column  form,  give  strong 
impulse  to  the  book  reading  idea.  This  is  a 
similar  effort  to  that  run  by  the  Chicago  Daily 
Nezvs,  which  has  carried  so  many  well  worded 
proclamatiojis  to  the  reader  and  book  lover. 
The  type  of  article  used  on  the  book  page 
greatly  strengthens  the  power  of  the  title  adver- 
tising that  goes  on  the  page. 

The  Stockton,  California,  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce has  prepared  a  large  map  of  the  land 
in  which  Bret  Hartc  lived,  and  of  which  he 
wrote.  Illustrations  and  quotations  from  the 
authorized  editions  of  his  wv)rks.  which  arc 
published  by  Houghton  Mifflin  Company,  arc 
shown  on  it  in  such  a  manner  that  the  actual 
places  he  wrote  alx>ut  con  he  quickly  identified. 
Many  tourists  will  benefit  this  summer  by  this 
opportunity  to  become  even  more  closely  ac- 
quainted with  the  Bret  Harte  country.

Kansas  Book  Dealers  Meet 

THE  sixth  annual  convention  of  the  Kansas 
Book  Dealers'  Association  was  'held  at 
Kansas  City  on  May  15th  and  i6th.  The  As- 
sociation now  has  a  membership  of  225  with 
14  new  members  during  the  past  year.  When 
the  Association  was  organized  in  1917,  there 
were  but  8  members.  At  the  Monday  after- 
noon session  the  discussion  was  turned  over  to 
wholesalers  who  were  present  from  several 
cities.  Each  man  who  wished  to  address  the 
convention  was  admitted  alone  and  could  talk 
of  his  product  in  confidence  to  the  members. 
The  school  business  is  an  important  part  of 
the  Association's  plans,  and  the  Trade  Rela- 
tions G>mmittee  arranges  for  the  making  of  a 
copyrighted  line  of  school  tablets  known  as 
the  "K.  B.  D.  A.  Brand,"  which  are  sold  by  all 
members.  This  committee  also  plans  a  special 
student  notebook  cover,  which  is  made  for 
them  by  the  Irving- Pitt  Manufacturing  Co.  of 
Kansas  City.  Kansas  has  state  manufactured 
school  books,  and  the  Association  is  bonded 
for  $195,000  to  cover  books  on  deposit  with 
the  sdiool  houses.  The  Bonding  Committee 
has  lost  only  $300  thru  bankruptcy  in  three 
years.  At  the  banquet,  Margaret  Hill  Mc- 
Cartcr  was  the  guest  of  honor,  and  other 
©pealkers  were  Carl  F.  White,  editor  of  the 
Kansan,  and  Charles  Mitchell  of  the  National 
Association  of  Stationers.  The  officers  of 
last  year  were  re-elected:  Phil  M.  Anderson 
of  Newton,  president;  A.  S.  Allen  of  Wichita, 


vice-president;    F.   G.   Orr   of   Wichita,   secre- 
tary and  treasure!-. 

Our  Twelve  Leading  Women 

A  JOURNALIST  from  Chile,  being  de- 
sirous of  writing  articles  for  her  home 
paper  on  the  women  of  the  United  States,  has 
been  asking  who  are  the  twelve  greatest  women 
citizens  of  the  United  States,  women  now  liv- 
ing and  representing  as  wide  as  possible  a 
range  of  occupation,  residence  and  tempera- 
ment, women  who  have  made  their  own  way. 
Many  suggestions  have  been  brought  forth,  and 
among  the  best  lists  is  that  appearing  in  the 
New  York  Times  of  June  6th.  This  list  of 
twelve  is  as  follows : 

Jane  Addams 
Amv  Lowell 


Gerald  ine  Farrar 
Edith  Wharton 
Carrie  Chapman  Catt 
Molla  Mallory 
Alice  Paul 
Ida  Tarbell 


Minnie  Maddern  Fiske 
M.  Carey  Thomas 
Mary  Pickford 
Agnes  Repplier 


Of  these  one-third  have  'reached  their  fame 
as  writers.  Suggestions  from  other  sources 
have  brought  forward  such  names  as  Cecilia 
Beaux  and  Violet  Oakley,  artists,  Evangeline 
Booth,  Mary  Roberts  Rinehart  and  Anne  Mor- 
gan. The  field  of  literature  seems  to  have  the 
largest  representation,  and  there  are  undoubt- 
edly many  others  that  Americans  would  like 
to  add  to  this  list  but  whose  addition  might 
not  produce  so  balanced  a  group  as  the  one 
suggested.

Obituary 

OTTO  ROMPANO,  A  TRIBUTE 
Otto    Rompano,    one   of    the    deans    of   the 
American   bdok  trade,   who    died   on   May   8, 
was    bom    January    17th,    1840,    in    Chemnitz, 
Gerniany.     His  first  love  was  music  which  he 
practised  and  fostered  until  his  last  day.     He 
was    suffidientliy    accomplished    tc>    play    first 
violin   in   a   Leipzig   orchestra   in  his   younger 
days.      The   University   of    Leipzig   graduated 
him  in  1864,  and 
he  left  for  Amer- 
ica one  year  later. 
Having      entered 
the  firm  of  West- 
ermann    &  Oom- 
pany  —  now 
Lemcke  &  Buech- 
ner — on     October 
17th,  1870,  he  re- 
mained with  them 
until     his     death. 
He    stayed   home 
on  April  24th  on 
account  of  the  ill- 
ness   from    which    he    never   recovered.      Mr. 
Rompano  is  survived  by  his  wife,  to  whom  he 
was  married  October  nth,  1882,  and  a  daughter, 
Mrs,  Clara  R.  Schroeder  of  Weehawken,  N.  J. 
H  there  ever  was  a  man,  zealously  devoted 
to  his  duties,   Otto  Rompano  deserves   to  be 
remembered  as  such.     For  fifty-two  years  he 
was  ithe  head  oif  the  periodical  department  of 
Lemcke  &  Buechner,  a  living  encyclopedia  of 
any  and  every  fact  connected  with  that  branch. 
Tho  he  belonged  to  the  old  school  he  was  not 
averse  to  modern  ideas.     During  his  fifty-two 
years    of    employment  be   took   practically   no 
vacation  as  that  might  have  meant  missing  an 
inquiry   which   should   have   received   his   per- 
sonal attention.    Every  offer  on  the  part  of  the 
firm  that  he  take  off  a  few  weefks  was  firmly 
and  steadfastly  refused.     An  automobile  acci- 
dent some  years  ago  kept  him  confined  to  his 
house  for  a  number  of  days ;  but  no  interrup- 
tion of   his   business   was    permitted.     He  in- 
sisted that  his  correspondence  be  brought  to 
him  daily.    In  spite  of  half  a  century  of  stren- 
uous and  uninterrupted  work,  Rompano  was  full 
of   determined  activity  at   the  age  of   eighty - 
three.     At  no  time  would  he  countenance  any 
assistance  in  Kis  personal  field  of  work. 

A  prince  among  men,  his  death  is  keenly  re- 
gretted by  all  who  knew  him  well.

JAMES   CLIFFORD   SIMPSON 

James  Clifford  Simpson,  Vice-President  of 

D.   C   Heath   &   Company,   died   suddenly  on 

June    nth    at    his    residence    in    New    York. 

He  was  born  at  Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  fitted  for 


college  at  Greenland  Academy,  and  was 
graduated  from  Dartmouth  College  in  the 
class  of  '87.  He  served  for  a  time  as  Prin- 
cipal of  the  Bellows  Falls  High  School  and 
as  Superintendent  of  Schools  at  Portsmouth, 
X*.  H.  In  1897  he  became  associated  with 
D.  C.  Heath  &  Company  and  was  for  several 
years  in  their  Boston  office.  In  1910  he 
was  elected  to  the  Board  of  Directors  and 
was  made  Vice-President.  He  brought  to 
educational  publishing  a  rich  experience,  a 
constructive  intelligence,  and  outstanding 
capabilities  for  carrying  forward  the  best 
traditions  of  the  profession.  His  fellow  pub- 
lishers will  keenly  feel  the  loss  of  his  genial 
encouragement  and  wise  counsel.  What  his 
kindly,  considerate  personality  meant  to  his 
business  associates  cannot  here  be  measured. 

C.   A.   MAGGS   OF  LONDON 

Charlks  Albert  Maggs  of  the  famous  Lon- 
don firm  of  Maggs  Bros.,  booksellers,  died 
suddenly  on  May  28th  at  his  home  at  Milton 
Mount,  Beaconsfield,  England.  Charles  Maggs 
specialized  in  autograph  letters  and  documents 
of  literary  and  historical  interest,  and  com- 
piled a  notable  series  of  catalogs  of  these 
items.  The  surviving  partners  are  his  broth- 
ers, B.  D.  Maggs  and  E.  W.  Maggs.

Charles  Albert  Maggs  of  the  well  known 
firm  of  Maggs  Brothers  of  London  died  at  his 
home  at  Milton  Mount,  Beaconsfield,  May  28. 
Mr,  Maggs  specialized  in  autograph  letters  and 
manuscripts  and  compiled  a  series  of  catalogs 
in  recent  years  that  will  remain  a  lasting 
memento  of  his  keen  interest  in  this  specialty. 

Nineteen  autograph  letters  written  by  Mark 
Twain  to  Charlotte  Teller,  author  of  "The 
Cage,"  characterized  as  the  "love  letters  of  an 
old  man"  were  sold  at  Anderson's  several 
months  ago  for  $675.  Another  similar  batch 
written  to  the  same  fair  lady  from  Ezra  Pound, 
the  well  known  author,  has  recently  come  into 
the  market,  and  some  collectors  are  now  asking 
"Who  Next?" 

John  Freeman  has  written  a  biography  and 
literary  estimate  of  George  Moore.  It  covers 
his  childhood  days  in  Ireland,  student  days  in 
France,  life  in  London,  his  acquaintance  among 
famous  men  and  women  and  his  connection 
with  the  Celtic  revival.  The  volume  also  con- 
tains a  bibliography  compiled  by  Dr.  Henry 
Danielson  and  an  estimate  of  the  values  of 
first  editions  based  upon  recent  sales. 

Among  the  items  of  Shakespearean  interest 
secured  by  the  Rosenbach  Company  at  the 
recent  Burdett-Coutts  sale  in  London  was  the 
arm-chair  designed  by  Hogarth  for  his  friend 
David  Gar  rick  which  Hogarth  himself  carved 
out  of  Shakespeare's  niulberry  tree,  with  the 
medal  liion  portrait  of  iShakespeare  in  the  center 


of  the  back  of  the  chair.  The  price  paid,  $10,- 
500,  lis  said  to  be  the  largest  sum  ever  given  at 
auction  for  a  chair. 

The  Mark  Twain  cabin  near  Sonora,  Calif., 
which  he  used  when  prospecting  for  gold  in 
1865  was  dedicated  as  a  memorial  on  June  10, 
Gov.  W.  D.  Stephens  delivering  the  address. 
"The  beginning  of  Twain's  career  of  making 
men's  tasks  easier  to  bear,"  the  Governor  said, 
"is  indelibly  associated  with  Tuolumne  and 
Calaveras  Counties.  In  his  cabin  the  sick  men 
were  made  well  and  the  well  made  better  as  the 
result  of  his  cheerfulness  and  humor." 

The  Temple  Bar  edition  of  Boswell's  "Life 
of  Johnson,"  published  by  Gabriel  Wells  of 
this  city,  seems  to  have  taken  the  British  fancy. 
Almost  every  English  mail  brings  orders  and 
words  of  appreciation,  the  dealers  frequently 
ordering  in  lots  of  five  and  ten.  Since  the 
edition  is  limited  to  750  sets  and  this  will  be 
the  only  one,  it  is  likely  to  be  soon  exhausted 
with  the  sales  about  evenly  divided  between 
England  and  America.  The  concensus  of 
opinion  seems  to  be  that  this  is  one  of  the  most 
attractive  reading  editions  of  this  ^biographical 
masterpiece  that  has  ever  been  published  and 
will  long  be  prized  by  booklovers. 


The  Biblio  has  published  regularly 
during  the  last  year  a  record  of  authors 
whose  first  editions  were  in  the  most 
demand  judged  by  the  number  of  "want" 
advertisements  in  the  Publishers' 
Weekly  and  Bookseller  and  Stationer 
of  this  city  and  the  Publishers'  Circular 
of  London.  The  sunimary  of  the  first 
editions  in  demand  for  the  eleven  months 
from  May  15,  1921  to  April  15,  1922, 
taking  the  ten  most  popular  names,  is  as 
follows:  Melville,  187;  Cabell,  172; 
Mark  Twain,  114;  Mencken,  i'o8;  Saltus, 
98;  Conrad,  90;  Dreiser,  76;  James,  74; 
Huneker,  71;  and  Roosevelt,  68. 


F.  D.  Brandon  of  San  Francisco,  a  collector 
interested  in  first  editions  of  Mark  Twain,  takes 
issue  with  Merle  Johnson  in  his  "Bibliography 
of  Mark  Twain"  upon  disputed  or  vague  points 
in  regard  to  the  first  edition  of  "The  Gilded 
Age."  We  reprint  his  letter  giving  his  point 
of  view  and  conclusions  in  full : 

In  his  notice  of  "The  Gilded  Age"  (page  31 
et  seq.)  Mr.  Johnson  says,  "Much  confusion  has 
been  injected  into  the  first-edition  question 
on  this  book"  &c.  &c.,  and  then  proceeds  to 
describe  a   spurious  title-page  bearing  imprint 


June  17  J  1922 


1769 


"American  Publishing  Company,  1873."  At  the 
Auction  Sale  of  Mr.  Johnson's  'Twain  Collec- 
tion, four  years  after  publication  of  the 
Bibliography,  a  copy  of  the  edition  with  this 
spurious  title-page  was  offered,  described  as 
'•Mr.  Johnson's  own  copy,  and  probably  the 
only  copy  kno\vn."  It  would  therefore  seem 
that  the  danger  of  "much  confusion"  from  that 
spurious  source  is  entirely  negligible.  Much 
confusion  has,  however,  been  injected  by  Mr. 
Johnson  himself  into  the  question  of  what  are 
to  be  regarded  as  first-issue  copies  of  that 
first  edition,  and  particularly  as  to  what  date 
the  title-page  should  bear— it  being  evidently 
assumed  by  him,  tho  not  too  confidently,  that 
only  copies  bearing  the  sole  imprint  "Hartford : 
American  Publishing  Company,  1874"  are  to 
be  so  considered,  and  this  mainly  because,  out 
of  60  copies  sent  out  from  the  binder>'  for 
reviewing  purposes,  the  one  he  saw  had  that 
imprint.  It  does  not  appear  that  he  saw  any 
of  the  other  59  review  copies,  or  that  any  of 
them  were  dated  1874,  or  any  other  date  than 
"^^73,  which,  according  to  his  own  statements, 
was  the  correct  date  of  the  "actual  publication" 
of  the  'book.  Speaking  of  the  cut  on  page  403, 
absence  of  which  is  one  of  the  marks  of  a  first 
issue,  he  says,  "This  cut  was  afterwards  sup- 
plied, even  in  some  copies  dated  1873."  He 
would  hardly  have  said  this  had  he  felt  sure 
that  1873  was  not  the  correct  date  of  the  first 
issue.  His  allusion  to  "more  than  one  firm 
name  on  title"  might  seem  to  imply  that  this 
would  militate  against  such  copy  being  first 
issue.  This  could  hardly  be,  however,  for  it 
seems  to  have  been  customary  for  the  American 
Publishing  Company  in  issuing  the  Twain 
books  of  that  period,  both  before  and  after 
"The  Gilded  Age,"  to  have  more  than  one  firm 
name  on  title,  in  first  as  well  as  in  other  issues, 
and  his  suggestion,  that  he  had  seen  no  correct 
copy  in  1874  bearing  more  than  one  firm 
name,  would  have  more  weight  if  he  had  told 
us  how  many  correct  copies  in  1874  (or  of  that 
date)  he  had  seen,  and  even  then  would  not  be 
decisive  of  the  question. 


We  may  fairly  conclude,  from  what  has  been 
said,  that  the  essential  points  distinguishing 
first  issues  of  this  book,  and  in  which  they 
difi'er  from  all  other  copies,  are  that  the  title- 
page  is  dated  1873,  and  that  page  403  lacks  the 
cut  which  appeared  in  later  copies;  that  as 
between  copies  dated  1873  and  having  the  cut. 
anji  those  dated  1874  which  lack  the  cut,  there 
is  no  choice — while  each  is  an  early  copy  of  the 
first  Edition,  neither  is  first  issue.  All  copies 
of  first  Edition  must,  of  course,  have  "Eschol 
Sellers,"  but  whether  the  title-page  bears  the 
imprint  of  one  firm,  or  more,  is  unimportant.

A.  LABORDE-MILAA. 

Laureat  de  I'lnstitut  de  France 


UN    ESSAYISTE 

EMILE    MONTEGUT 

1825-1895 

This  work  obtained  in   1921  the  "Marcellin  GUERIN"  prize  at  the 

Academie  Francaise. 


The  interest  which  attaches  to  the  "Emile  Monteguf'  of  M.  Laborde- 
Milaa  IS  not  due  to  the  fact  so  often  remarked  that  he  has  been  on  one  side 
the  surest  critic  of  romancists  and  on  the  other  of  the  whole  "Realist" 
period.    That,  however,  is  only  a  part  of  his  work. 

The  almost  universal  mind  of  Emile  Montegut  caused  him  to  investi- 
gate foreign  literature  and  this  great  critic  remains  the  Frenchman  who 
understood  Anglo-Saxon  genius  better  than  any  other. 

It  was  Montegut,  in  fact,  who  from  1847  was  the  first  to  make  known 
in  France,  Emerson,  Channing,  Parker  and  the  whole  School' of  Massachu- 
setts, Longfellow,  Irving,  Hawthorne,  Everett,  and  for  more  than  twenty 
years  revealed  to  Western  Europe,  with  "Uncle  Tom's  Cabin"  and  the  novels 
of  Miss  Cuming  and  Fanny  Fair,  or  "Lives,"  of  Barnum  or  Bennett,  the  par- 
ticularities and  moral  tendencies  of  the  American  soul.  On  the  other 
hand  it  was  he,  in  France,  who  was  the  real  champion  of  Shakespeare,  not 
content  with  translating  the  whole  of  Shakespeare's  works,  but  surrounding 
this  translation,  so  to  say,  with  every  philological  care  and  continually 
casting  new  lights  on  the  work,  and  lastly  and  at  the  same  time,  he  never 
ceased  to  initiate  his  public  in  the  "Revue  des  Deux  Mondes"  to  the  whole 
of  contemporary  English  literature  by  revealing  in  turn  Sterne,  George 
Elliot,  Charlotte  Bronte,  Mrs.  Gaskell,  E.  B.  Browning,  George  Borrow. 
Tennyson,  Trollope,  Kingsley,  etc. 

Historians  of  American  and  English  literature,  even  those  properly  so 
called,  will  find  in  the  complete  and  recent  work  of  M.  A.  Laborde-Milaa 
every  indication  on  Montegut  than  can  interest  them,  the  Montegut  who 
understood  in  the  most  astonishing  manner,  through  the  almost  exclusive 
aid  of  books,  men  and  things  on  the  American  side  of  the  Ocean  and  on  the 
British  side  of  the  Channel.

Well- 


Babbitt 


is  the  story  of  a  man,  his  family  and  his  one 
great  friendship. 

George  F.  Babbitt:  is  a  hustling,  prosperous 
real  estate  broker  in  a  city  of  about  350,000. 
Back  of  his  business  and  clubs  and  100% 
activities  is  a  wistful  wonder  as  to  what  this 
business  of  living  is  all  about.  In  his  story 
every  wife  will  find  her  husband — every  man  his 
partner.  But  something  dramatic  and  surpris- 
ing happens  to  Babbitt,  and  that's  the  story. 

'Babbitt"  is  a  searching,  dignified  and 
important  picture  of  American  life  to-day, 
and  we  believe  it  is  better— even  better !— than 
"Main  Street."

THE  OPEN  FIRE 


By  William  Valentine  Kelley 


"Dr.  Wlilliam  Valentine  Kelley  has  written  a  number  of  splendid  essays,  grouped  under  the  title, 
The  Open  Fire.  They  are  charming  in  style  and  finished  in  construction.  All  are  delightful,  but  those 
that  appealed  most  strongly  to  this  reviewer  are  the  opening  one,  'The  Open  Fire,'  and  'Some 
Newspaper  Verse.'  The  first  is  a  reverie  and  is  almost  as  delightful  as  those  bachelor  ones  of  'Ik

Dear  Slrs:- 

It  might  be  of  interest  to  you 
to  learn  that  we  have  used  alchemic  gold 
on  one  of  our  latest  publications,  Margaret 
Sanger's  THE  PIVOT  OF  CIVILIZATION,  and 
that  we  have  had  remarkable  success  with 
it.       I  take  this  opportunity  to  tell  you 
that  we  are  very  much  pleased  with  it  and 
that  in  our  opinion  it  will  give  as  good 
results  as   imitation  gold  ever  gave. 

You  doubtless  have  a  very  usable 
product  and  publishers  will  be  glad  to 
know  of  it. 


I  wish  you  all  success 

Yours  very  truly,

If   You 

Weren  t 
a 
Book-seller — 

Supposing  you  were  a  clerk  in  a  bank,  or  a  soap 
salesman,  or  a  wholesale  grain  merchant. . .  .Suppos- 
ing. . .  .and  you  were  about  to  go  on  a  vacation  and 
wanted  to  do  some  reading  while  you  were  away. 
Then,  supposing  you  walked  into  your  own  book 
store      to      make      a 


selection;  what  books  would  you  select? 
You'd  look  over  the  table  of  best  selling  fiction  and 
feel  that  you  wanted  a  bit  more  substantial  diet; 
then  you'd  go  to  the  non-fiction  table,  but  the  books 
look  too  bulky  and  are  a  little  more  than  the  price 
you  had.  The  book-seller  would  diagnose  your  case 
and  say: 

"I  believe  I  know  what  you'd  like  to  take  with  you. 
Take  a  look  at  the  books  in  the  Modern  Library; 
they  are  95  cents  each,  fit  in  your  pocket,  and  they 
are   just    about   what  you   will   want   to   read  while 


you  re  away. 

Then  you'd  look  over  the  three  or  four  rows  of 
stripe- jacketed  books  with  more  and  more  interest; 
pick  out,  say,  "Dorian  Gray,"  "Best  American  Humor- 
ous Short  Stories,"  "Zuleika  Dobson,"  "Selections 
from  Samuel  Pepys'  Diary"  and  "Mademoiselle  de 
Maupin."  You  would  hand  the  book-seller  the  five 
books  with  a  five- dollar  bill  and  thanks  for  his  sug- 
gestion ;  and  you  would  walk  out  of  the  store  grateful 
for  the  25  cents  in  change  and  the  prospect  of  read- 
ing five  books  you  had  wanted  for  the  last  few  years 
to  read  and  own. 


.  ...  It  is  our  belief  that  the  success  of  the  Modern  Library  can 
be  attributed  mainly  to  the  fact  that  we  publish  great  and  in- 
teresting books  in  an  attractive  form  at  a  low  price:  and  give 
the  public  what  it  wants.  The  next  time  a  bank  clerk,  soap 
salesman  or  grain  merchant  comes  into  your  store,  why  not 
sell  him  Modern  Library? 

ALL  OF  THE  TITLES  ARE  IN  STOCK.     If  you 

don't  already  carry  a  full  stock  of  Modern  Library

"This  book  list  was  compiled  by  Franklin  K.  Mathiews, 
Chief  Scout  Librarian,  under  the  supervision  of  the  Library 
Commission  of  the  Boy  Scouts  of  America,  consisting  of 
George  F.  Bowerman,  Librarian,  Public  Library  of  the  Dis- 
trict of  Columbia,  Washington,  D.  C;  Harrison  W.  Craver, 
Director,  Engineering  Societies  Library,  New  York  City;

Board  of  Education,  New  York  City;  Edward  F.  Stevens, 
Librarian,  Pratt  Institute  Free  Library,  Brooklyn,  New  York. 
The  list  is  offered  as  a  catalog  for  the  use  of  book-store 
patrons,  especially  scoutmasters  and  parents  of  scouts.  It 
is  hoped,  too,  that  librarians  may  find  it  serviceable  in 
selecting  books  for  their  scout  constituency.  The  books 
chosen  cover  pretty  much  the  whole  field  of  a  scout's  reading 
interests,  and  are  chiefly  those  that  have  proved  themselves 
satisfactory."

The  World's  Biggest  Book  Shop 

is  located,  we  are  convinced,  in  the 
''Wednesday  Book  Page''  ~  now 
''pages''— of  The  Chicago  Daily  News 

WITH  its  yearly  daily  average  circulation  of 
401,698— about  1,200,000  daily  readers— 94  per 
cent  concentrated  in  Chicago  and  its  suburbs,  The 
Daily  News  easily  ranks  first  as  Chicago's  favorite 
home  newspaper.  And  one  of  the  most  popular  of 
its  many  popular  features  is  its  now  famous  "Wed- 
nesday Book  Page,"  that  revolutionized  newspaper 
book  reviewing  in  America  by  treating  new  books 
as  news  as  well  as  giving  intelligent  criticism. 

Among  all  classes  of  book  buyers  in  Chicago 
and  its  vicinity,  the  Wednesday  Book  Page  of 
The  Daily  News  has  become  an  institution.  Wed- 
nesday is  popularly  known  as  "Book  Page  Day." 

With  these  facts  in  mind,  it  is  safe  to  assume 
that  "The  World's  Biggest  Book  Shop"  is  The 
Daily  News  Book  Page,  "visited"  by  a  large  pro- 
portion of  the  1,200,000  daily  readers  of  The  Daily

sexes"  pictured  from  a  new  angle."  The  author  wrote  the  story  in  Paris.  It  fascinates  because  its 
setting  and  characters  arei  real.  It  is  a  work  that  will  please  Mrs.  Glyn's  host  of  admirers  and  at 
the  same  time  aippeal  to  the  great  majority   of  readers.

"/  hold  every  man  a  debtor  to  his  profession, 
from  the  which,  as  men  of  course  do  seek  to

duty  to  endeavor  themselves,  by  way  of  amends, 
to  be  a  help  and  ornament  thereunto." — Bacx>n. 


Buyer  and  Seller 

WHEN  the  traveler,  with  samples,  sits 
down  for  his  appointment  with  the 
buyer  of  a  bookstore,  the  stage  is  set 
for  the  molsit  i'mportant  single  operation  that 
the  manager  undertakes.  The  morale  of  the 
store  and  its  public  reputation  may  depend 
on  things  more  intangible  and  possibly  more 
fundamental  to  progress— his  selling  plans  may 
have  even  more  to  do  with  his  growth — but 
the  things  that  go  into  such  operations  are 
more  widely  scattered  and  less  easy  to  analyze, 
while  the  process  of  buying  is  a  special  situ- 
ation that  can  be  very  concretely  considered. 

The  trouble  with  ithe  situation  often  is  that 
it  is  not  carefully  enough  considered,  at  least 
on  the  part  of  the  buyer.  It  is  to  be  admitted 
that  to  be  a  properly  prepared  buyer  is  a  diffi- 
cult and  arduous  process.  The  salesman  has 
been  very  carefuilly  and  very  systematically 
prepared  for  his  part — ^salesmen's  conferences, 
discussions  with  the  sales  manager,  careful 
study  and  reading  of  the  lydoks  carried,  and 
repeated  practice  in  presenting  the  line  which 
trains  him  to  eliminate  the  unessentials  and 
to  find  the  most  effective  arguments.  The 
buyer,  however,  has  to  meet  salesman  after 
salesman  in  (succeeding  days,  and  each  one 
presents  a  different  problem.  That  the  buying 
may  be  correctly  and  successfully  done  means 
that  he  should  be  as  adequately  prepared  for 
his  part  in  the  meeting  as  the  salesman  is  for 
his.  Not  that  the  salesman  should  l>e  less  well 
primed,  hut  that  the  buyer  should  be  so  well 
prepared  that  he  can  interpret  the  salesman's 
information  and  enthusiasm  in  quantities  to 
suit  his  own  use,  outlet  and  selling  force. 

Mr.  McKee,  who  has  been  both  seller  and 
buyer  in  the  book  field,  points  this  out  very 
succinctly  in  his  article  on  buying  in  this  issue. 


Just  how  detailed  shall  be  the  system  by  which 
the  buyer  prepares  for  making  his  order  must 
be  worked  out  by  the  buyer  himself,  with  full 
realization  that  it  is  the  pertinent  facts  that  he 
needs  tlo  have  at  hand,  not  facts  in  so  great 
detail  that  their  preparation  will  take  more 
time  than  his  organization  can  arrange  for.  A 
clear  picture  of  his  general  business  condition 
is  needed;  all  the  facts  as  to  the  sales  of  the 
particular  line  under  discussion  in  previous  sea- 
sons, both  new  and  stock  items ;  the  records  of 
the  months  immediately  preceding,  to  supply  in- 
formation as  to  re-orders;  a  variously  col- 
lected knowledge  plus  instinct  of  what  the 
public  is  interested  in  at  present  or  likely  to 
be  interested  in,  in  the  month  ahead.  Such 
information  will  lead  to  cool  judgment,  active 
reordering  and  justified  totals  in  the  purchase. 
Information  and  intelligent  use  of  it  puts  the 
buyer  on  a  par  with  the  seller  to  the  mutual 
satisfaction  of   both. 


Buying  for  Turnover 

A  RECENT  discussion  has  made  a  magic 
word  of  the  subject  of  "turnover."  Its 
importance,  and  the  characteristics  of  its 
magic  should  be  uniderstood  by  every  buyer. 
If  a  dealer  were  to  buy  goods  at  a  margin 
of  35  per  cent  but  his  total  sales  were  so 
limited  that  he  oould  not  keep  necessary  ex- 
penses below  35  per  cent  of  his  total,  no 
rapidity  of  turnover  would  make  profit  ap- 
pear. Or,  if  he  should  buy  goods  at  an 
average  of  35  per  cent,  should  have  expenses 
oif  30  per  cent  'but  have  a  steadily  increasing 
stock  on  hand  and  losses  from  loverbuying, 
there  still  would  be  no  profit  no  matter  what 
the  turnover.  If,  however,  a  bookseller  should 
be  dloang  $50,000  worth  of  business  at  a  35  per 
cent  margin  and  a  30  per  cent  cost  and  has 
carried  to  do  that  business  a  stock  of  $16,250, 
he  will  have  turned  bis  stock  twice  and  shown 
a  net  profit  of  $2500  on  his  stock  investment, 
or  about  15  per  cent.  If  he  can  do  that  same 
amlount  of  business  on  a  stock  of  $11,000, 
which  is  perfectly  possible,  he  will  have  a  turn- 
over of  about  three  times  and  a  profit  of  22 
per  cent  on  his  stock  investment,  and  this  will 
be  improved  by  the  fact  that  there  has  been 
less  interest  charge  on  the  mo^iey  invested  and 
less  depreciatilon  to  take  care  of  at  the  end  of 
the  year.  Between  the  two  times  turnover 
which  is  quite  common  and  the  four  times 
turnover  that  is  quite  possible,  there  is  a  vast 


i8i6

difference  in  results.  If  these  results  are  ob- 
tained merely  by  cutting  down  the  amount  of 
stock  carried,  this  oif  itself  may  simply  meao 
leaving  many  customers  dissatisfied  with  the 
service  given  to  them  at  the  store.  It  is  accom- 
plished by  such  intelligent  timing  of  stock 
arrival  to  the  needs  of  the  community  that 
better  service  and  fresher  volumes  are  supplied 
from  the  smaller  investment.  Rapid  turnover 
is  of  the  greatest  importance  to  business  suc- 
cess only  when  it  is  an  objective  obtained  by 
more  careful  preparation  and  keener  sense  of 
the  public's  needs. 

Business  Prospects 

LAST  year  the  business  columns  of  the 
newspapers  were  full  of  articles  preach- 
ing optimism  to  the  business  man  and 
prophesying  rapid  business  recovery.  Much  of 
this  material  was  wasted,  as  the  business  man 
trusted  even  more  implicitly  to  his  own  findings 
than  to  what  he  saw  in  print.  That  the 
book-trade  generally  prospered  in  such  a  year 
was  an'  undoubted  indication  that  there  were 
fundamental  conditions  favoring  an  increased 
distribution  of  books  which  carried  the  sales 
forward,  even  in   generally  troublous  times. 

The  business  and  statistical  columns  of  today 
carry  much  less  of  oratorical  prophecy  and 
much  more  of  concrete  fact  that  can  be  inter- 
preted to  mean  an  increased  national  prosperity. 
There  never  was  a  cliance  for  a,ni  instantaneous 
rally,  and  the  fact  that  the  present  improve- 
ment is  aliong  steady  rather  than  spectacular 
lines  is  all  to  the  advantage  of  business. 
Retailers  are  still  buying  conservatively,  as 
there  is  now  an  ingrained  habit  to  keep  stock 
well  down,  but  they  also  realize  that  the  fall 
has  real  promise  and  that  the  well  assorted 
stock  is  the  one  that  will  build  business.  In 
some  districts  there  will  still  be  local  condi- 
tions that  will  make  all  buying  very  oonserva- 
tive,  but  publishers  whose  travelers  cover  the 
whole  country  pretty  thoroly  report  that  the 
area  of  these  special  situations  h  far  less  than 
last  year. 

This  fall  is  to  be  the  culmination  of  the 
largest  general  cam,paign  for  books  that  the 
trade  has  ever  undertaken.  With  posters, 
dealer  material,  special  articles,  and  a  oo-opera- 
tive  enthusiasm,  the  publishers  and  retailers 
will    be   behind   the    fall    slogan    "Every    Real 


Home  Has  Books"  as  well  as  back  of  the  Chil- 
dren's Book  Week  and  Christmas  giving  cam- 
paign. Promotion  efforts  cannot  upturn  the 
great  underlying  currents  of  the  nation's  busi- 
ness, but  they  can  greatly  help  to  divert  a 
flowing  current  into  new  directions,  and  it 
would  seem  as  tho  the  banks  of  the  general 
business  activity  were  to  hold  a  larger  flow 
than  in  1921,  and  the  book-trade  has  good 
reason  to  believe  that  the  figures  of  last  year's 
buying  and  selling  can  be  taken  as  low  water 
marks  not  as  a  level  from  which  the  tide 
may  still  recede. 

Small  Buying  vs.  Turnover 

<<TN  preaching  the  good  old  doctrine  of  turn- 

J^  over  to  the  trade  we  are  afraid  many 
advertisers  are  allowing  themselves  to  slip 
on  dangerous  ground"  says  an  editorial  in  the 
June  8  Printers'  Ink.  "The  principle  of  turn- 
over is  a  difficult  thing  to  explain  clearly. 
Many  persons,  seem  to  confuse  it  with  small 
buying.  In  several  trade  adv^ertisements  which 
we  have  recently  read,  the  advertisers  were 
unintentionally  advertising  small  buying,  al- 
tho  what  they  had  in  mind  was  to  tell  retail- 
ers the  advantages  of  getting  a  rapid  rate  of 
turnover  on  their  merchandise. 

"To  be  sure,  the  retailer  who  overbuys  is  not 
able  to  show  a  profitable  rate  of  turnover.  But 
underbuying  is  just  as  bad  as  overbuying.  In 
fact,  to  be  out  of  certain  important  items  of 
merohandise  constantly  is  one  sure  way  to  slow 
up  turnover.  A  retailer  cannot  sell  what  he  is 
'just  out  of."  His  sales  suffer  because  of  his 
failure  to  keep  an  adequate  stock. 

"In  still  another  respect  does  underbuying 
retard  sales.  Even  tho  a  merchant  may 
have  a  certain  article  in  stock,  his  customers 
will  not  buy  it  enthusiastically  because  his 
assortment  is  not  complete  enough  to  be  in- 
viting. People  like  to  buy  from  full  lines.  We 
have  seen  purchasers  refuse  to  buy  such  a  well- 
known  article  as  Mennen's  shaving  cream,  be- 
cause the  proffered  tube  happened  to  be  the 
last  one  the  dealer  had.  The  other  evening  we 
wanted  a  sprinkling  can,  but  did  not  buy  be- 
cause the  retailer  had  only  two  sizes  to  offer. 
We  imagined  we  wanted  a  size  in  between. 

"Every  day,  everywhere,  merchants  are  los- 
ing business  because  of  the  inadequacy  of 
their  stocks.  Today  an  unprecedented  number 
of  retail  stocks  are  wretchedly  balanced  and 
lack  variety  and  range.  A  little  observation 
will  convince  any  person  that  this  is  true.  It 
is  the  one  glaring  weakness  in  present  retailing. 

"So  let  us  continue  to  preach  turnover,  but 
in  doing  it  let  us  not  forget  to  warn  retailers 
that  the  sine  qua  non  of  a  satisfactory  volume 
of  sales  is  an  adequate  stock  of  goods."

The  Gentle  Art  of  Buying 

By  Walter  McKee 

John  V.  Sheehan  &  Co.,  Detroit 
"To  sell  is  easy;   to  buy  divine." 


1  WELCOME  this  opportunity  to  contribute 
my  little  "bit"  to  this  symposium  on  the 
problem  of  the  buyer  because  so  little  seems 
to  be  written  on  the  subject  and  so  much 
needs  to  be  known.  In  contrast  to  the  hun- 
dreds of  books  on  salesman sihip,  there  are  only 
one  or  two  on  buying.  I  have  cften  thought 
that  we  might  well  have  a  literature  on  How 
to  Buy  as  well  as  on  Hoiw  to  Sell.  While 
it  is  true,  most  bocks  on  retail  selling  or  retail 
management  devote  some  little  space  to  buy- 
ing and  turnover,  what  we  need  is  some  ample 
and  scientific  treatise  on  the  subject  of  buying. 

The  Buyer's   Policemanlike   Duty 

My  experience  as  a  publisher's  representa- 
tive convinced  me  that  the  average  ])ook- 
seller  does  his  buying  in  the  most  haphazard 
manner  and  has  but  little  idea  of  the  par- 
ticular amount  of  money  he  is  spending  with 
any  particular  publisher  and  also  no  idea  of 
its  relation  to  the  whole  amount  he  is  justifed 
in  spending  over  any  seasonable  period.  The 
usual  practice  is  as  follows:  The  publishers' 
salesmen  come  to  town  with  the  fall  hues. 
'  The  booikseller  looks  them  over  and  buys 
what  he  thinks  he  can  sell  (or  often  what  the 
salesman  makes  him  think  he  can  sell).  After 
the  salesman  leaves  town  he  receives  a  copy 
of  his  order  which  may  or  may  not  show  the 
net  total  amount  he  has  purchased.  After 
doing  this  with  thirty  or  forty  publishers* 
lines,  he  may  have  an  idea  that  he  has  pur- 
chased a  large  quantity  of  merchandise ;  the 
publishers'  statements  on  January  first  prove 
his  idea  to  be  correct.  If  he  has  fortunately 
not  made  too  many  mistakes,  and  business  has 
been  generally  good,  he  can  pay  all  of  these 
bills  without  much  worry.  Hence  he  assumes 
that  he  has  bought  well  and  so  repeats  the 
process  until,  to  use  the  vernacular,  he  gets  a 
"bump."  Then  comes  the  time  when  he  asks 
himself  "How  can  I  prevent  this  tragic  occur- 
rence?" What  follows  is  my  personal  solu- 
tion of  this  problem.  "A  poor  thing  perhaps, 
but  mine  own."  Experience  and  what  little 
help  I  have  been  able  to  find  in  general  busi- 
ness books  have  been  my  teachers. 

If  salesmanship  is  selling  books  at  a  profit, 
buying  is  alsio  the  same  thing,  for  the  most 
successful  buyer  will  be  he  who  is  buying  for 
a  store  that  not  only  has  a  constant  stream  of 
merchandise  coming  into  the  store  but  also 
one  going   out — out   at  a  profit.     Few  book- 


stores are  so  large  but  that  the  buyer  can 
also  be  the  seller.  I  do  not  mean  necessarily 
the  seller  of  individual  items  in  the  store,  but 
the  director  of  sales.  He  it  is  who  knows 
Why  merchandise  is  bought  and  at  what  price, 
and  he  it  should  be  who  should  say  how,  when 
and  at  what  price  it  should  be  sold.  The 
buyer's  relation  to  the  merchandise  should  be 
that  of  the  policeman  to  the  vagrant,  "Keep 
moving."  The  buyer  should  never  lose 
sight  of  the  fact  that  the  moment  a  book 
comes  into  the  store  it  begins  to  cost  money 
in  interest  and  in  depreciation.  No  matter 
how  intrinsically  good  a  book  may  be,  every 
day  it  5ta)^s  on  the  shelf  it  becomes  a  poorer 
piece  of  merchandise.  To  keep  the  stock  for 
which  you  are  responsible  as  a  buyer,  clean 
and  moving,  every  book  should  be  marked 
in  such  a  way  that  you  can  immediately  tell 
how  long  it  has  been  in  your  stock.  Most 
successful  department  stores  adopt  this  method. 
If  you  have  not  already  established  such  a 
system,  start  today.  The  simplest  method  is 
to  use  the  ail'pihaibet  for  the  years  and  figures 
up  to  twelve  for  the  months  so  that  three 
years  from  now  if  you  find  a  book  in  your 
stock  marked  "A6"  you  will  know  immediately 
that  you  bought  the  book  in  June  1922  and 
it  should  long  ago  have  been  on  the  shelf 
of  a  library  and  the  money  originally  invested 
in  it,  re-invested  several  times  since.  I  do 
not  believe  any  bookseller  will  ever  be  too 
ruthless  in  clearing  out  at  some  price,  good 
books  that  have  reposed  a  year  or  more  on 
his  shelves.  January  and  February  are  the 
months  for  clearing  up  the  previous  year's 
mistakes. 

Buying  and  the  Budget 

Now  for  the  plan  for  successful  buying 
It  is  contained  in  one  word,  that  word  being 
BUDGET.  Perhaps  you  have  already  tried 
it  and  say  that  it  can't  be  done  in  the  book 
business.  My  answer  is  it  can  when  you  have 
adjusted  the  budget  to  conform  to  the  needs 
of  your  particular  business.  It  may  take  t'me 
and  much  experimenting,  but  it  can  be  done 
and  regardless  of  what  you  do  accomplish  by  it, 
it  will  result  in  a  much  better  method  than 
the  haphazard  method  of  "rule  of  thumb"  or 
"rule  of  mouth"  you  may  no'w  use.  Inci- 
dentally in  making  a  budget  for  your  guid- 
ance, you  will  find  many  interesting  and  il- 
luminating facts  about  your  own  business  per- 


I8I2 


The  Publishers'  Weekly 


haps  that  you  never  knew  before.  Suppose 
you  start  today  to  do  your  fall  buying.  To 
do  so  intelligently  and  safely  you  need  at  your 
desk  the  following: 

First.  Your  present  inventory  at  net  cost. 
If  your  store  is  departmentized,  you  need 
your  inventory  by  departments.  Usually  in 
a  book-store  you  need  but  two  sets  of  figures, 
general  book  inventory  figures  and  juvenile 
department  inventory  figures. 

Second.  Sales  at  cost  for  the  period  June 
first  to  January  first. 

Third.  The  amounts  purchased  from  dif- 
ferent publishers  on  travelers  orders  over  the 
same  period  of  time  last  year. 

Fourth.  The  amount  spent  on  re-orders  by 
mail,  special  orders,  library  orders  and  so 
called  "dark  horses" — ^books  which  initially 
purchased  in  small  quantities  surprise  their 
publishers  themselves  by  selling  big.  The  dif- 
ference between  your  total  purchases  for  this 
period  and  the  total  amounit  for  travel- 
ers' orders  will  give  you  the  above  mentioned 
figure. 

Fall   Orders 

With  all  of  the  above  information  at  your 
command,  you  can  easily  determine  the  gross 
amount  that  you  can  safely  purchase  on  the 
initial  fall  trips  of  the  publishers'  representa- 
tives. I  believe  most  of  our  mistakes  are  made 
at  this  stage  of  our  buying.  How  this  gross 
amount  will  be  divided  among  particular  pub- 
lishers must  of  necessity  vary,  as  some  pub- 
lishers have  very  good  books  one  season  and 
very  poor  ones  the  next.  By  referring  to  the 
list  of  titles  of  each  publisher  and  the  amount 
spent  over  previous  years  you  will  be  able  to 
determine  the  proportion  each  publisher  should 
have  this  year,  if  his  list  appears  to  be  equally 
good.  B'y  not  spending  your  entire  appro- 
priation at  this  time,  it  is  obvious  that  you 
will  have  a  reserve  fund  for  books  that  prove 
to  be  big  sellers  and  also  to  take  advantage 
of  items  that  may  not  appear  until  late  in  tne 
season.  No  rules  can  be  laid  down  for  the 
amount  to  be  spent  on  re-orders,  as  after  all, 
the  personal  equation  enters  here  and  it  be- 
comes largely  a  test  of  your  own  personal 
judgment  based  on  your  location,  class  of 
customers,  and  efficiency  of  your  selling  force, 
and  the  number  of  copies  previously  sold  of  the 
same  book.  I  believe,  however,  that  fewer 
of  our  mistakes  are  made  here  than  at  the 
previous  stage  of  buying.  This  is  borne  out  by 
the  eagerness  of  the  publishers  to  obtain  as 
large  initial  orders  as  possible  on  new  publica- 
tions. This  is,  however,  an  objective  that  de- 
feats its  own  end,  as  we  are  all  willing  to 
buy  more  of  good  selling  titles  if  we  are  not 
loaded  up  with  too  many  poor  selling  books 
in  large  quantity. 


Another  idea  in  buying  which  might  work 
to  the  advantage  of  both  bookseller  and  pub- 
lisher would  be  to  change  the  quota  of  buy- 
ing on  new  and  old  titles.  As  salesman  and 
buyer.  I  have  noticed  that  most  orders  placed 
with  traveling-men  are  divided  up  as  follows: 
two-thirds  of  the  amount  of  the  order  will 
consist  of  new  publications  and  one-third  regu- 
lar stock  items.  In  other  words,  we  spend 
more  money  and  buy  more  of  the  new  and 
untried  titles  which  neither  publisher  nor 
bookseller  can  say  with  certainty  will  sell 
than  we  do  lof  the  books  that  have  been 
found  to  be  sellers  and  are  in  constant 
demand.  Why  not  vary  it  and  make  the 
proportion  as  follows:  one-third  new  publi- 
cations and  two-thirds  regular  stock  items?  I 
really  believe  that  on  the  first  ot  January  the 
inventory  would  be  much  less,  as  you  would 
not  be  stuck  on  so  many  new  publications  and 
you  would  have  lost  fewer  sales  on  so  called 
stock  items  than  formerly. 

Because  of  the  character  of  books  it  is  more 
difficult  to  treat  what  we  buy  and  sell  in  the 
book  business  as  merchandise  than  it  is  in  any 
other  line  of  business.  While  this  is  generally 
true,  there  are,  however,  some  competitive 
lines  upon  which  the  buyer  is  given  an  oppor- 
tunity to  exercise  his  judgment  and  by  making 
a  wise  selection  to  cut  down  his  investment  to 
the  smallest  possible  amount  in  any  given  class 
of  books.  I  refer  to  the  competitive  juvenile 
lines  at  the  same  prices  and  also  to  the  follow- 
ing kinds  of  books : 

Graduation  Books  Baby  Books 

Wedding  Books  Cook  Books 

Books  Like  Other  Merchandise 

Various  other  handbooks  and  series  of  books 
published  at  popular  prices. 

It  is  possible  for  the  buyer  to  treat  all   of 
the    books    which    are   covered    by   the    above 
classifications    in    the    same    way    other    mer- 
chandise is  considered : 
Best  cheap  edition. 
Best  moderate  priced  edition. 
B'est  high  priced  edition. 

A  careful  watching  of  your  stock  will  enable 
you  to  determine  which  lines  can  be  classified 
under  the  above  three  headings.  Then  you 
can  proceed  to  buy  only  these  publications 
eliminating  all  the  other  publishers  who  seem 
to  duplicate  them  and  it  is  obvious  that  this 
plan,  strictly  adhered  to,  will  enable  you  to 
cut  down  your  investment  and  enable  you  to 
increase  your  turnover  and  that  is  the  only  way 
that  profits  can  be  made. 

All  of  the  above  remarks  are  the  result  of  a 
constant  endeavor  over  a  period  of  seven  years 
to  find  out  how  to  buy  books  more  intelligently, 
to  operate  with  a  smaller  investment,  to  in- 
crease the  turnover  and  enlarge  profits.

What  Buyers  Expect  from  Salesmen 

By  Ward  Macauley 

Macaitlcy    Brothers,    Detroit.    Mich. 


THE  first  point  of  contact  between  the 
buyer  and  the  salesman  is  the  receipt 
of  the  advance  announcement  and  catalog. 
The  buyer  has  a  right  to  expect  that  a  reason- 
ably accurate  announcement  will  reach  him 
several  days  before  the  arrival  of  the  sales- 
man. By  reasonably  accurate,  we  mean  the 
reverse  of  this:  "Our  Mr.  Pulver  will  be  in 
your  city  on  the  20th  instant"  only  to  have 
Mr.  Pulver  pop  in  on  the  i6th.  The  sales- 
man requires  the  closest  co-operation  from  his 
firm's  correspondence  department,  if  he  is 
unable  to  give  this  important  matter  his  per- 
sonal supervision. 

Preparation  For  the  Traveler 
Some  houses  do  not  habitually  announce  the 
calls  of  their  travelers.  This  is  more  likely 
to  be  the  case  with  firms  showing  small  lines 
which  they  consider  do  not  require  advance 
attention.  Ordinarily  perhaps  this  does  not  in- 
convenience the  buyer,  as  the  small  line  may 
be  satisfactorily  disposed  of  in  half  an  hour. 
On  days,  however,  when  several  travelers, 
whose  coming  has  been  properly  announced, 
are  in  town,  the  salesman  who  didn't  bother 
with  an  advance  notice  has  no  right  to  com- 
plain if  he  is  compelled  to  wait  until  the 
others  are  out  of  the  way.  The  experienced 
travelers  so  well  recognize  the  fundamental 
importance  of  accurate  announcement  they  re- 
quire only  to  be  reminded  to  see  that  it  is 
properly  done. 

The  proprietor  of  a  large  bookstore  while 
on  his  vacation  received  word  that  three  sales- 
men with  important  lines  were  to  be  in  his 
city  on  a  certain  date.  Cutting  his  vacation 
short  several  days,  he  hurried  home  only  to 
learn  that  one  of  the  three  had  already  de- 
parted and  the  other  two  had  not  as  yet  ap- 
peared. Such  an  incident,  while  exceptional, 
reveals  the  importance  not  only  of  sending 
out  accurate  announcement  but  of  sending  fur- 
ther word  in  case  of  any  important  change 
of  plans.  So  much  of  the  buying  is  done 
in  the  summer  months  when  vacations  and 
short  outings  may  interfere  with  appointments 
that  better  results  can  be  obtained  by  closely 
watching  this  matter, 

'Ts  my  catalog  checked?"  the  salesman  asks 
hopefully. 

"No,"  complains  the  buyer.  "Your  catalog 
hasn't    come."      After    the    salesman    has    de- 


parted to  the  next  town,  the  missing  catalog 
appears.  This  has  been  known  to  happen. 
There  is  much  complaint  among  salesmen  re- 
garding unchecked  catalogs,  largely  no  doubt 
with  good  foundations.  A  catalog  carefully 
checked  in  advance,  with  the  proposed  order 
largely  decided  upon,  leaves  the  buyer's  mind 
free  to  concentrate  upon  the  new  titles  and 
upon  the  outstanding  items  which  the  sales- 
man will  present  to  him.  The  poorest  way 
of  working  is  to  have  the  salesman  call  item 
after  item  and  the  buyer  attempt  to  say  what 
he  wants  from  memory  of  his  stock. 

Haste  is  the  greatest  foe  to  good  buying 
and  haste  can  be  averted  by  advance  con- 
sideration. Catalog  checking  is  the  best  possi- 
ble way  to  train  the  salesforce  in  knowledge 
of  stock,  and  a  keen  department  head  will 
often  put  his  assistants  to  checking  lists  even 
when  no  traveler  is  expected.  The  salesman 
and  his  firm  should  remember  that  second- 
class  mail  is  not  delivered  as  promptly  as  first- 
class  and  send  out  catalogs  in  good  season. 
However,  the  efficient  buyer  should  not  be 
dependent  upon  the  arrival  of  new  catalogs. 
He  should  constantly  maintain  an  up-to-date 
file  containing  two  or  three  copies  of  the  latest 
catalogs  of  all  leading  publishers.  This  file 
will  serve  several  important  uses,  but  for  the 
buyer,  it  will  be  a  great  help  in  being  properly 
prepared  for  the  salesman's  arrival.  "Take 
time  by  the  forelock"  should  be  the  motto 
of  every  buyer. 

Keeping    Appointments 

When  the  salesman  reaches  the  city,  the 
buyer  may  reasonably  expect  an  early  call. 
It  is  not  conducive  to  the  best  of  feeling 
to  learn  that  Johnson  has  been  in  town  since 
Tuesday  morning  when,  on  Wednesday  after- 
noon, he  asks  attention  so  that  he  can  leave 
that  evening.  Few  travelers  offend  in  this 
regard,  the  great  majority  being  most  punc- 
tilious to  observe  the  proper  etiquette  but  any 
who  do  have  such  a  penchant  should  seriously 
consider  revising  their  methods.  Indeed  cour- 
teous consideration  of  every  buyer,  whether 
his  order  be  large  or  small,  is  the  first  essential 
of  successful  salesmanship.  Referring  to  a 
buyer  as  "a  prince"  because  he  is  employed 
by  a  big  house  and  to  another  as  "a  piker" 
because  his  business  is  small  shows  a  fatal 
lack  of  discrimination  that  fortunately  has  been 
long  outgrown  by  nearly  all  book-salesmen. 


i8i4 


The  Publishers'  IVecklv 


Much  has  been  said  at  one  time  and  another 
about  the  lack  of  attention  to  appointments 
on  the  part  of  buyers  and  no  doubt  with 
justice.  Mr.  Perkins  has  an  engagement  at 
the  hotel  at  two  o'clock.  Instead  of  leaving 
his  office  at  a  quarter  of  two  as  he  should, 
he  waits  until  just  the  hour.  On  the  way 
out,  he  meets  a  friend  who  desires  some  6J^ 
size  envelopes,  which  apparently  no  one  but 
Mr.  Perkins  can  satisfactorily  supply.  Ke- 
suit,  he  whirls  into  the  sample  room,  very 
much  out  of  breath  at  thirty-two.  As  the 
salesman  had  another  appointment  at  three 
o'clock,  this  delay  becomes  serious,  upsetting 
all  the  afternoon  appointments  and  perhaps 
forces  a  cancellation  of  one.  It  causes  the 
embarrassment  of  having  two  buyers  in  the 
sample  room  at  the  same  time. 

Salesmen  Must  Know  Their  Line 
Buyers  should  be  most  careful  to  meet  all 
engagements  promptly.  If  unavoidably  pre- 
vented from  doing  so,  telephone  arrangements 
should  be  made  for  a  later  time  that  will  not 
conflict  with  the  salesman's  other  engage- 
ments. Salesmen  are  most  careful  in  meeting 
hotel  appointments,  and  few  buyers  can  claim 
to  have  been  often  kept  waiting,  except  in 
such  case  as  the  above.  In  regard  to  engage- 
ments at  buyers'  offices  salesmen  are  some- 
times not  so  careful.  "Three  o'clock"  may 
mean  anytime  between  lunch  and  dinner,  on 
the  assumption  that  the  buyer  will  be  in  all 
afternoon  and  that  one  time  is  as  good  as 
another.  It  is  true  that  in  many  cases,  it  does 
not  greatly  matter  but  there  are  times  when 
it  does  make  a  good  deal  of  difference.  If 
the  buyer  names  three  o'clock  because  he  has 
other  engagements  at  four  and  five,  it  upsets 
things  considerably  to  have  the  salesman  come 
in  at  four-thirty  and  wonder  why  Mr.  Buyer 
is  not  waiting  to  receive  him. 

A  buyer,  with  a  convention  of  salesmen  to 
take  care  of,  most  carefully  made  appoint- 
ments at  his  office  for  two  o'clock,  three 
o'clock,  four  o'clock  and  five  o'clock.  At  three- 
thirty  all  four  salesmen  were  in  the  store 
and  new  appointments  were  necessary.  Gomg 
back  of  the  returns,  no  doubt  we  would  find 
that  late  buyers  had  delayed  the  first  two 
salesmen,  but  the  five  o'clock  man  could  hardly 
have  thouglit  that  the  hour  was  material. 
Salesmen  will  do  well  to  make  as  great  an 
effort  to  meet  an  office  appointment,  when  it 
is  specific,  as  they  do  to  keep  their  hotel  en- 
gagements. Buyers  should  mention  an  exact 
time  when  possible  and  then  keep  that  time  free. 
The  balance,  as  regards  punctuality  in  meeting 
appointments  is  well  in  favor  of  the  salesman, 
but  he  can  also  do  much  to  remedy  a  situation 
that  often  compels  using  three  days  to  do 
the  work  of  two. 


The  buyer  has  a  right  to  expect  the  sales- 
man to  know  something  about  his  line  and 
not  merely  to  try  to  inject  enthusiasm  without 
foundation.  The  best  salesmen  do  know  their 
lines  and  that  is  why  they  are  the  best  sales- 
men and  represent  the  best  houses.  Only 
very  new  buyers  can  be  swayed  by  such  gener- 
alities as  "a  magnificent  book,"  "sure  to  be  a 
best  seller,"  "better  than  'Main  Street,' "  etc. 
The  bookseller  may  reasonably  expect  a  sales- 
man to  have  a  better  idea  of  his  merchandise 
than  a  certain  retail  salesman  displayed  in 
answering  a  question  regarding  "The  Car- 
dinal's Snuff  Box."  "Ah,  yes,"  he  said;  ''a 
delightful  story,  all  about  a  dear  old  cardinal 
and  his  snuff-box."  The  buyer  depends  upon 
the  information  that  the  salesman  can  give 
him,  and  that  information,  to  be  reliable,  must 
be  based  on  the  salesman's  thoro  knowledge 
of  his  wares.  The  bookseller  will  learn  more 
about  his  stock  from  what  he  gets  in  advance 
from  the  salesman  than  in  any  other  way,  and 
publishers  will  do  well  to  provide  their  repre- 
sentatives with  all  the  facilities  to  be  properly 
informed.  Such  a  representative,  working 
on  the  solid  foundation  of  a  knowledge  of 
and  a  faith  in  what  he  is  selling  is  building 
much  more  solidly  than  the  "Salesman"  who 
substitutes  pep  and  professional  enthusiasm  for 
more  weighty  qualities.  The  buyer  respects  the 
salesman  who  knows  his  line.  That  is 
axiomatic. 

The  Salesman  Who  Has  the  Buyer's 
Confidence 
The  buyer  has  the  right  to  expect  the  sales- 
man to  give  him  real  assistance  in  deciding  the 
proper  quantity  of  each  title.  The  relationship 
should  not  be  one  of  offense  and  defense,  a 
sparring  match  in  which  the  salesman  tries  to 
get  as  much  as  possible  and  the  buyer  exerts 
every  effort  to  resist  the  attack.  The  two  should 
co-operate  in  reaching  the  proper  conclusions — 
and  no  publisher  should  expect  his  salesman  to 
do  more.  It  naturally  follows  that  the  salesman 
must  have  some  idea  of  the  bookseller's  busi- 
nes,  its  size,  its  general  character,  its  possibili- 
ties. A  salesman  once  asked  for  an  order  for 
250  copies  of  a  certain  book.  The  buyer  re- 
plied: "Why,  So  and  So,  if  I  bought  250  of 
this  book  and  all  other  books  in  proportion,  I 
would  need  to  do  a  book  business  of  a  half 
million  a  year." 

"Surely"  said  the  salesman,  "surely  you  do 
more  than  that."  As  a  matter  of  fact,  the 
total  book  business  of  the  city's  several  book 
stores  did  not  at  that  time  reach  that  figure. 
The  salesman's  suggestions,  based  on  such  lack 
of  information,  could  not  be  very  helpful.  The 
buyer    should    discuss    these    matters    frankly 

with  the  salesman  and  the  salesman  must 
regard  such  confidences  as  inviolate.  He 
should  not  repeat  to  competitors,  or  salesmen.

or  out-of-town  booksellers  intimate  matters 
which  he  learns  in  the  course  of  serving  as  an 
aid  and  guide  to  bu3ing. 

The  buyer  and  the  salesman  can  discuss  the 
various  quantities  in  a  mutually  helpful  spirit. 
The  salesman  steers  a  wrong  course  when  he 
suggests  ten  wher^  he  hopes  for  five,  twenty- 
five  when  he  expects  ten,  a  hundred  when  he 
would  be  well  satisfied  with  fifty.  He  is 
much  like  the  Jewish  school-boy  ^who,  when 
the  teacher  asked  what  two  and  two  amounted 
to  persistently  replied  "five"  and  later  confessed 
that  it  was  for  the  purpose  of  allowing  the 
teacher  to  "jew  me  down."  The  salesman  who 
suggests  "jew  me  down"  quantities  eventually 
loses  the  buyer's  confidence  and  when  he  has 
a  really  big  book  is  unable  to  win  the  support 
of  the  bookseller  for  it.  The  parrot  type  of 
salesman  seems  to  be  nearly  extinct — the  "make 
it  ten,"  "make  it  twenty-five"  variety  is  seldom 
heard  nowadays.  The  buyer  may  rightly  ex- 
pect more  intelligent  service  and  in  the  main 
he  is  getting  it.  The  large  majority  of  sales- 
men are  making  a  real  effort  to  be  fair  both  to 
the  houses  they  represent  and  the  customers  to 
whom  they  sell.  Any  who  do  not  are  pursuing 
a  path  of  folly. 

Where    Friendship    Comes    In 

Good  fellowship  must  not  be  expected  to 
take  the  place  of  proper  service  in  salesman- 
ship. Friendship  can  never  be  safely  presumed 
upon.  We  are  bound  to  favor  those  we  like 
and  naturally  those  who  thru  a  long  course  of 
association  have  shown  themselves  worthy  of 
confidence.  The  buyer  has  a  right  to  expect 
that  the  salesman's  friendship  will  be  evidenced 
by  sincere  assistance,  rather  than  by  a  desire 


for  orders  larger  than  the  merits  of  the  publi- 
cations warrant. 

A  traveler  making  a  certain  territory  regular- 
ly should  receive  full  credit  from  his  house  for 
all  business  received  from  his  customers,  a 
custom  prevailing  in  many  lines.  This  would 
ido  much  to  avoid  over-selling — which  is  an 
evil  from  the  publisher's  standpoint  quite  as 
much  as  from  the  bookseller's,  because  over- 
buying means  slow  payments,  lack  of  good- 
feeling,  begets  over-caution  as  to  new  ventures 
and  destroys  initiative.  The  salesman  who 
thoroly  and  capably  presents  his  line  to  his 
customer,  maintains  a  friendly  relationship, 
initiates  plans  for  enterprising  sales  campaigns ; 
in  a  word  does  everything  to  help  that  book- 
seller sell  his  firm's  books  is  entitled  to  credit 
for  re-orders  just  as  much  as  for  the  orders 
taken  in  person. 

The  buyer  has  the  right  to  expect  that  the 
salesman  will  make  a  written  record  of  any 
special  arrangements  entered  into.  How  much 
bickering  and  ill-feeling  might  have  been  saved 
had  this  always  been  an  in.viiolate  rule!  The 
salesman  should  willingly  do  this,  the  buyer 
'should  insist  upon  it.  The  buyer  may  also  ex- 
pect that  his  order  be  promptly  forwarded  and 
a  clear-cut  copy  sent  to  him,  that  instructions 
be  carefully  noted  thereon,  that  the  mechanics 
of  the  transaction  be  efficiently  handled  in  every 
detail.  Both  salesmen  and  buyers  should  obey 
the  letter  of  the  law  in  attention  to  business- 
like method s  and  each  has  a  right  to  expect  it 
of  the  other. 

Upon  such  relationships  as  these,  firm  friend- 
ships are  formed  and  upon  mutual  confidence 
and  respect  a  business  structure  of  enduring 
work  may  be  erected. 


How  To  Treat  a  Salesman 

From  * 'Buying  Goods^'  by  Albert  E.  Bull 

Sir  Isaac  Pitman  &  Sons. 


4  4 1%  yi  Y  firm  has  given  me  a  real  bargain 
I Y I  line  to  offer"  said  one  traveler  to 
another,  "and  I  am  wondering  who 
to  show  it  to." 

"Take  it  to  Rowley.     He  loves  a  close  cut." 

"No  I  will  not  take  it  to  Rowley"  said  the 
first  man,  "and  if  ever  you  get  bargain  lines 
you  won't  take  them  to  Rowley — at  least,  you 
don't  if  you  think  it  out.  That  man  always 
insults  me  or  sneers  at  me  or  tries  to  cut 
my  prices  to  ribbons.  I  call  on  him  when 
I  have  my  usual  lines  to  offer.  If  I  have  any 
special  value  to  give  away  I  show  it  to  the 
men  who   treat  me  with  ordinary  civility." 

"Very  reasonable,  too." 

"You  see,"  went  on  the  traveler  with  the 
special   line,   "a  man   like   Rowley  is   a  useful 


man  to  me  in  some  ways.  Apart  from  all 
his  rudeness  he  is  really  a  very  good  buyer, 
and  I  am  able  to  test  my  prices — that  is  my 
ordinary  prices — by  his  purchases.  I  know 
then  if  I  am  in  the  market  or  not.  I  wouldn't 
dream  of  showing  him  a  special  cut  line;  it 
would  be  wasting  the  man.  I  fancy  that  a 
good  many  traA'elers  treat  him  the  same  way." 
This  is  an  obvious  truth.  The  buyer  who 
gets  known  for  his  belligerent  and  unpleasant 
manner  is  scarcely  the  one  to  be  favored 
by  a  salesman  when  there  is  a  special  job 
going  cheap.  The  salesman  likes  to  give  any 
benefit  of  this  kind  to  the  trader  who  has  a 
little  gratitude  in  his  nature.  He  does  not 
like  to  waste  it  upon  one  who  will  sneer  at 
hiim  just  as  morosely  this  journey  as  next.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


But  there  is  worse  punishment  even  than 
this. 

"I  have  informed  Mr.  Roger  Blank,"  wrote 
a  traveler  to  his  firm,  "that  if  he  desires 
to  purchase  my  goods,  he  may  do  so  by  writing 
you  direct,  and  that  I  shall  not  call  on  him 
again.  I  know  you  will  uphold  me  in  this 
decision.  I  suggest  that  should  he  write  you, 
you  send  the  currlent  month's  list  [plainly 
marked  in  red  ink,  'There  are  no  concessions 
or  discounts  whatever  off  this  list.' " 

The  close  buyer  who  is  polite  can  do  much. 
The  close  buyer  who  is  rude  soon  finds  himself 
under  the  curse  of  Ishmael :  "His  hand 
against  every  man  and  every  man's  hand 
against  him." 

His  difficulty  becomes  great  indeed.  When 
some  travelers  will  not  call  at  all,  when  others 
take  their  best  lines  elsewhere,  and  when 
nearly  every  traveler  who  knows  him  enters 
his  office  with  a  grim  determination,  "he  may 
be  rude  if  he  likes  or  he  can  have  twopence 
off  the  price,  but  he  'shan't  score  both  ways." 

All  other  opinions  notwithstanding,  polite- 
ness pays  a  buyer  just  as  much  as  it  pays 
a  salesman.  There  is  practically  no  boycotting 
in  business  nowadays,  but  we  can't  cut  human 
nature  right  out  of  it.  There  is  no  law 
forcing  a  man  to  give  his  best  bargains  to  the 
person  who  makes  him  most  unhappy. 

The  buyer  cannot  too  clearl)'  hold  on  to 
this  essence  of  his  art.  He  may  hear  all  the 
arguments,  inducements  and  seductive  sugges- 
tions of  the  salesman.  He  may  be  doing 
right,  too,  in  allowing  them  to  influence  him 
and  even  to  alter  a  formed  and  considered 
opinion.  But  once  he  buys,  it  is  his  own  "act. 
There  is  no  court  of  appeal  beyond  his  own 
judgment,  no  one  'who  can  be  blamed  but 
himself  if  the  decision  is  a  wrong  one. 

To  say  to  a  salesman,  or  even  to  form  the 
thought,  "H  you  hadn't  pressed  me  so  much  I 
wouldn't  have  bought,"  is  really  another  way 
of  saying :  "I  don't  know  my  own  business ; 
I  am  incapable  of  making  my  own  decision ; 
I  am  not  fit  to  be  a  buyer." 

When  the  final  "yes"  or  "no"  is  spoken,  the 
salesman  cannot  be  blamed.  This  does  not 
mean  that  the  buyer  may  not  sometimes  leave 
rather  full  powers  to  the  salesman.  Many 
excellent  buyers  do  this  as  a  part  of  their 
policy. 

To  leave  human  nature  in  business  entirely 
to  the  selling  department  is  a  mistake.  This 
miTst  have  its  place  with  the  purchaser. 

When  a  salesman  spreads  out  his  samples, 
it  is  almost  useless  for  the  buyer  to  look  at 
them  unless  one  also  looks  at  the  man  who 
has  brought  them.  If  he  and  his  firm  are 
known  to  be  honorable  and  capable  people,  the 
samples  and  quotations  have  a  different  mean- 
ing   from   those   of   a   man   whose    word    is    a 


broken  reed  and  whose  character  is  colorless 
or  worse,  and  who  possibly  represents  a  house 
as  dubious  as  himself. 

It  is  good  business  to  treat  all  men  with 
courtesy — especially  salesmen.  There  are 
many  traders  who  make  no  secret  of  the  fact 
that  they  are  kept  in  touph  with  the  latest 
movements  in  their  line  of  business,  very 
largely  thru  the  stream  of  information  that 
flows  constantly  from  eloquent  commercial 
travelers. 

A  retailer  added  shop  after  shop  to  his 
original  premises,  and  in  each  one  made  a 
new  departure  irij  his  variety  of  goods. 

"How  do  you  learn  all  your  different 
trades?"  asked)  a  friend. 

"Quite  frankly,"  was  the  reply.  "I  learn 
them  from  travelers.  I  have  an  instinct  for 
retail  business,  but  there  are  some  technical 
details  which  do  not  "  come  by  inspiration. 
Salesmen  gradually  'put  me  wise'  on  these,  and 
experience  does  the  rest." 

Few  buyers  would  feel  much  confidence  if 
they  had  to  learn  their  business  in  this  way. 
Yet  none  the  less  the  alert  business  man  is 
alwaj^s  learning,  and  the  salesman,  as  fre- 
quently as  not,  is  his  best  ally  in  gathering 
up-to-date  information   for  him. 

To  a  large  extent  this  custom  has  given 
place  to  a  better  method,  and  a  clear  state- 
ment of  the  regular  days  and  hours  at  which 
the  buyer  may  be  interviewed  is  a  familiar 
placard  in  many  establishments. 

There  is  another  kind  of  inaccessibility  that 
is  not  so  easily  broken  down.  This  is  the  kind 
which  belongs  to  the  spirit  and  character  of  a 
man.  Often  intended  to  be  business-like,  it 
takes  the  form  of  curtness  and  sometimes 
rudeness.  It  puts  the  salesman  at  a  disad- 
\antage  before  he  begins  and  results  in  lost 
time  and  ineffective  interviews. 

The  fault  does  not  always  lie  with  the 
Ijuyer.  He  is  frequently  a  hard-worked  man, 
with  the  unpleasant  task  of  damping  en- 
thusiasm that  pours  itself  over  him  thru 
countless  hours.  He  has  to  meet  a  number 
of  people  with  varying  notions  of  their  duty 
and  to  get  them  to  "^et  a  move  on."  Of  late, 
too,  his  task  has  increased  thru  the  growth  of 
"scientific  salesmanship"  learned  in  college 
or  thru  a  correspondence  course,  which,  while 
probably  useful  in  its  way,  is  positively  nerve- 
shattering  to  the  man  who  wants  to  deal  with 
thirty  travelers  before  lunch. 

The  technically  word-perfect  traveler  who 
knows  his  story  by  rote  and  who  insists  on 
going  thru  with  it,  and,  if  checked  or  thrown 
out,  automatcally  goes  back  to  the  beginning 
and  starts  afresh,  is  rather  devastating  to  the 
busy  buyer.  But  the  proper  response  is  not 
a  frigid  slight,  but  a  genial  "Sorry,  my  friend 
I  can  only  give  you  two  minutes."

^  Another  Five-foot  Bookshelf^ 

FOLLOWING  up  Dr.  Eliot's  idea,  and  along 
the  lines  of  Macmillan's  Ladder  Librar}', 
comes  another  "Five- foot  book  shelf,"  recom- 
mended by  The  Sunday  School  Times  Com- 
pany, of  Philadelphia.  It  is  a  shelf  for  the 
Sunday  school  worker  and  dealer  in  religious 
ibooks,  consisting  not  simply  of  Sunday  School 
Times'  publications,  but  containing  the  best 
books  on  Sunday  school  methods  and  work. 
Bible  studies,  and  child  training,  selected  from 
the  lists  of  fifteen  publishers.  The  list  was 
prepared  by  Hugh  Cork,  for  many  years  con- 
nected with  the  International  Sunday  School 
Association,  andj  now  an  editor  of  The  Sunday 
School  Times. 

The  ninety  books  comprising  the  "Five- foot 
shelf,"  assembled  by  Mr.  Cork  in  a  specially 
prepared  trunk  which  he  takes  with  him,  to  the 
many  conventi'Ons  and  institutes  foT  Sunday 
School  workers  which  he  attends.  The  "sihelf" 
is  divided  into  five  sections,  the  first  covering 
the  -whole  range  of  Sunday  school  work,  is 
designated  as  the  A.  B.  C.'s  of  the  work;  the 
books  in  the  second  section  correspond  to  "first 
reader,"  and  so  on  in  each  section  until  the 
harder  and  deeper  subjects  are  reached.  The 
"shelf"  is  well-balanced  with  books  on  his- 
tory, organization,  management,  psychology, 
pedagogy,  departmental  problems,  missions, 
evangelism,  and  Bible  study. 


The  Kitchen   Bookshelf 

FURTHER  promotion  af  the  idea  of  the 
home  bookshelf  to  include  the  practical 
books  of  household  affairs  is  found  on  the 
Tribune  Institute  page  which  comes  in  the  New 
York  Sunday  Tribune.  In  a  recent  number  the 
subject  was  well  stated  as  follows: 

"Madame,  how  does  your  kitchen  bookshelf 
grow?  It  is  almost  as  important  as  your  kitchen 
garden  and  certainly  the  books  you  plant  in 
the  former  are  partly  responsible  for  the  crop 
of  good  ideas,  household  progress  and  kitchen 
glory  which  grow  with  the  seasons.  If  you 
are  interested  in  adding  to  it,  either  in  books  on 
cookery,  gardening,  household  management  or 
other  subjects  related  to  the  well-being  of  your 
home  consult  with  the  experts  in  the  Tribune 
Institute. 

New  Members  of  French 
Academy 

TWO  new  members  have  recently  been 
elected  to  the  French  Academy,  George 
Goyau  and  Emile  Xolhac.  M.  Goyau 
wrote  extensively  under  the  name,  Leon  Gre- 
gorie.  His  last  work  is  "The  Religious  His- 
tory of  France."  M.  Nolhac,  for  many  years 
a  journalist,  is  the  author  of  a  series  of  studies 
on  Marie  Antoinette,  and  several  volumes  of 
verse.

Foreign  Exchange  Conditions 

IN  the  two  countries  with  which  the  United 
States  has  the  largest  dealings  in  books,  the 
change  in  money  exchange  during  tlie  past 
year  has  been  greatly  to  the  benefit  of  general 
trade  conditions.  Exchange  with  England  is 
now  at  about  8%  below  par.  This  makes  it 
much  more  possible  for  England  to  buy  here 
and  to  keep  trade  balanced,  which  in  the  long 
run  will  improve  the  general  total  of  trans- 
action. Canadian  exchange  is  less  than  1% 
below  par,  an  improvement  of  i  point  in  the 
last  month.  Exchange  with  Germany  is  still 
at  the  very  lowest  ebb,  but  French  Exchange 
has    improved    over    last   year. 

Freight  Shipments  Show  Gain 

THE  loading  of  commodities  other  than  coal 
show  increases  over  last  year,  according  to 
a  careful  analysis  made  by  the  Railroad  Age : 

1919 2,362.310  cars 

1920 2,675,832  cars 

1921 2,349,883  cars 

1922 2,771,674  cars 

If  the  increase  in  shipments  shown  had  oc- 
curred after  the  reduction  in  rates  as  has 
now  been  ordered  by  the  Interstate  Commerce 
Commission,  those  who  had  claimed  that  high 
rates  had  been  preventing  the  revival  of  busi- 
ness would  have  attributed  it  to  the  reduction 
of  rates,  but  it  is  obviously  due  to  an  im- 
provement in  general  business  conditions. 

Trade  Conditions 

TPHE  Chicago  Federal  Reserve  District  rc- 
*'  ports  that  the  number  of  people  employed 
in  the  month  of  May  is  4.9  higher  than  similar 
months  a  year  ago.  General  production  in 
factories  is  70%  of  full  capacity  as  compared 
to  58%  a  year  ago.  The  same  district  reports 
that  "For  the  first  time  since  December  1920 
aggregate  sales  of  department  stores  reporting 
in  that  district  are  ahead  of  the  preceding 
year,  and  all  but  six  firms  show  increases 
over  the  previous  month."  These  gains  in 
April  are  partly  due  to  the  later  Easter,  but 
the  totals  of  March  and  April  together  are 
more  favorable  in  their  showing  than  the  first 
two  months  of  1922.  Further  details  from 
department  store  conditions  show  2.3%  increase 
over  the  previous  year  in  Chicago  and  9.6% 
increase  in  the  amount  of  stock  carried,  the 
rate  of  turnover  of  the  stock  being  3.5. 

The  Federal  Reserve  Bank  in  New  York 
district  reports  that  department  store  sales 
for  April  1922  are  2%  larger  than  last  year, 
which  in  turn  'were  15%  ahead  of  1919.  The 
stocks  on  hand  are  4%  larger  than  last  year. 


Paper  Prices 

USING  the  average  price  per  pound  of 
printing  papers,  exports  and  imports,  as 
a  basis  for  estimating  the  rise  and  fall  of 
the  printing  paper  market,  the  National  City 
Bank  prints  in  its  last  bulletin  the  following 
statistics : 

Printing    Paper 1915       3.24    cents 

"     1916      4.31      " 

"     1917      545      " 

"     1918      5.66      " 

"     1919      6.97      " 

1920     10.21      " 

"     1921     10.81      " 

"     1922      6.66     " 

These  prices  per  pound  do  not  indicate  the 
average  selling  price  in  wholesale  quantities, 
as  the  export  and  import  figures  represent 
largely  big  mill  production,  but  they  indicate 
the  fluctuation  and  show  that  printing  paper 
reached  in  1920  a  level  of  more  than  three 
times  the  starting  point  and  fell  to  a  level 
of  about  twice  the  former  rate.  The  same 
bank,  reporting  on  general  business  conditions, 
makes  the  following  comment : 

"The  general  business  situation  has  continued 
favorable  from  month  to  month  until  confi- 
dence is  now  well  established  that  the  worst 
of  the  inevitable  post-war  depression  is  over. 
The  recovery  reflects  the  great  recuperative 
powers  which  this  country  has  within  itself, 
but  has  been  aided  by  a  similar  demonstra- 
tion in  other  countries.  Despite  the  seem- 
ingly almost  insoluble  problems  arising  from 
the  war,  and  all  the  political  controversies, 
racial  antagonisms  and  half-baked  social  and 
economic  theories  that  contribute  to  the  con- 
fusion, the  world  has  a  tendency  to  a  state 
of  order.  Prosperity  is  the  fruit  of  a  state 
of  ordered,  balanced  and  reciprocal  industry, 
in  which  everybody  works  at  rendering  some 
service  to  others  and  gets  his  pay  in  the  serv- 
ices which  they  render  to  him,  Altho  an 
appalling  ignorance  of  mutual  interests  is  con- 
stantly displayed,  nevertheless  people  are 
bound  to  strive  unceasingly  to  improve  their 
relations  with  each  other. 

"The  most  potent  general  factor  in  the  re- 
vival of  trade  has  been  the  exhaustion  of 
stocks,  the  wearing  out  of  things  in  use,  bring- 
ing consumers  to  the  necessity  of  coming  into 
the  markets  to  supply  their  own  wants  and 
of  selling  what  they  might  have  to  provide 
the  means  of  purchase.  The  pressure  of  re- 
ciprocal wants  gradually  brings  all  branches 
of  industry  to  the  readjustments  that  have 
to  be  made."

Changes  in  Market  Conditions 
That  Affect  All  Industries 

<4/^^QM PARING  the  year  ipigwith  the  year 
\^  1917,  we  find  there  were  nearly  twice  as 
many  people  who  had  incomes  from  two 
toi  three  thousand  dollars"  says  C.  C  Parlin  in 
Printers  Ink.     "We  find  there  were  more  than 
ten  times  as  many  people  who  had  incomes  from 
three  to  four  thousand  dollars  in  1919  as  had  in 
1917.    We  had  more  than  seven  times  as  many 
people  with  incomes  from  four  to  five  thousand 
dollars;  more  than  three  times  as  many  people 
with  incomes  from  five  to  ten  thousand  dollars ; 
more  than  two  and  a  half  times  as  many  people 
with   incomes    from   ten   to   twenty    thousand; 
and  more  than  twice  as  many  with  incomes  of 
over  twenty  thousand  dollars.    The  figures  for 
1920   when    released    by    the    Government    are 
going  to  show  still  larger  numbers  of  each  of 
these  various  classes,    I  suspect  that  the  figures 
for   1921   when   available   will   show   some   re- 
cession, but  it  is  very  clear  that  we  are  not  go- 
ing back  to  the  1915  level.    We  have  perman- 
ently increased,  very  materially,  the  number  of 
people  in  each  of  the  larger  income  classifica- 
tions.   The  significance  of  that  to  you  in  your 
business    is    very    apparent.      The    number   of 
people  who  are  in  a  position  to  buy  the  instru- 
ment you  want  to   sell   is   vastly  greater  than 
it  was  before  the  war." 


Commodities  Starting  Up 

A  SPECIAL  summary  of  May  31st  from 
the  Federal  Reserve  Board  reports  that 
the  general  index  number  of  wholesale  prices 
compiled  by  the  Federal  Reserve  Board  shows 
an  advance  of  two  points  as  compared  with 
the  preceding  month  making  it  149.  The  in- 
dex number  of  the  corresponding  month  a 
year  ago  was  146.  This  advance  is  due  to  the 
advances  in  the  prices  of  agricultural  products 
and  the  materials  used  in  certain  basic  indus- 
tries. Generally  speaking,  an  adjustment  of 
prices  among  commodities  and  industries  is 
approaching  a  more  normal  relationship.  Re- 
flecting the  improved  conditions  in  agriculture 
and  in  many  basic  industries,  retail  trade  ex- 
hibits an  enhancement  of  buying  power,  re- 
turns being  more  favorable  than  those  of 
recent  months.     The  report  says : 

"In  general  terms  it  may  be  said  that  the 
'peak'  in  the  upward  movement  was  reached 
in  1919-20  and  that  the  prices  at  that  time 
averaged  from  75  to  200  per  cent,  higher  than 
in  1913,  and  that  the  prices  in  the  opening 
months  of  1922  still  average  approximately  50 
to  75  per  cent,  higher  than  those  of  1913. 
tho  in  a  considerable  number  of  articles  the 
1922  prices  are  as  low  as  in  1913.  Of  course, 
there  are  numerous  exceptions  to  this  general 
trend  of  upward  and  downward  movements."

Postal  Receipts  Increase 

AN  increase  of  nearly  15%  in  the  business 
of  the  Post  Office  Department  during 
May  as  compared  with  the  same  month  last 
year  may  be  regarded  as  an  indication  of  the 
increased  prosperity  thruout  the  country, 
especially  as  related  to  business.  Especially 
large  increases  were  noticed  at 

Louisville,   Ky 32% 

Dayton,  O 27% 

Brooklyn     24% 

Kansas    City    23% 

Denver     ' 23% 

Des  Moines   23% 

Business  Failures  Decline 

FAILURES    in   May   as    reported    by    R.    G. 
Dunn    &    Company    were    28%    below    the 
high  point  in  the  current  year.     As  compared 


with  April  there  was  a  numerical  reduction 
of  failures  of  9^%  and  of  total  liabilities 
40%.  May  proved  the  smallest  month  since 
last  September.  Failures  have  been  unusually 
frequent  since  October,  and  this  recession  may 
promise  further  declines. 

Western  Trade  Still  Grows 

'  I  ""HE  New  York  Times  of  June  nth  carries 
*  from  its  Western  correspondent  the  follow- 
ing   comment    on    general    merchandising   con- 
ditions : 

"The  semi-annual  pre-inventory  sales  of  dry 
goods  and  merchandise  resulted  in  a  larger 
business  than  last  year,  and  road  sales  ex- 
ceeded those  of  the  previous  week,  altho  some- 
what less  than  in  1921.  There  is  still  a  strong 
tendency  not  to  overstock,  altho  retailers  here 
the  past  week  expressed  great  confidence  as 
to  the  future." 


The  Ideal  Buyer 

By  One  Who  Has  Sold 


IT  seems  a  rather  curious  and  difficult  task 
to  assign  a  publisher,  that  of  defining  the 
"ideal  buyer." 

The  temptation,  O'bviously,  is  to  delineate 
this  delightful  person  as  one  whose  faith  in, 
and  purchase  of,  the  various  publications  of 
said  publisher  quite  measure  up  with  the  lat- 
ter's  expectations. 

While  human,  such  a  definition  would  be  un- 
just. We  evidently  are  on  different  sides  of 
the  merchandising  fence. 

On  the  one  hand,  lor  one  side  rather,  the 
buyer  has  seen  so  many  well-touted  books 
"fliver,"  so  many  monuments  pile  up,  gather 
dust,  and  even  propagate,  that  he  finds  it  hard 
to  react  to  any  enthusiasms  except  that  of  a 
continued  and  active  demand  on  the  part  of 
the  public — after  the  book  is  out. 

On  the  other  side,  the  publisher  mourns  over 
the  indifference  on  the  part  of  the  buyer  to 
some  very  worthy  and  lovely  pieces  of  litera- 
ture which  later  are  found  to  be  enduring. 

Too  frequently,  the  publisher  feels,  the  buyer 
is  unwilling  to  co-operate  in  a  new  venture, 
to  meet  him  half-way,  to  do  anything  but 
play  the  sure  things. 

So  you  have  both  points  of  view,  each  with 
truth  in  it.  It  would,  therefore,  seem  a  fair 
definition  to  say  that : 

The  "ideal  buyer  is  he  (or  she)  who  main- 
tains the  truest  balance  between  turnover  atid 
stock;  commercial  instinct  and  abstract  literary 


enthusiasm;  prophecy  and  pa^^t  experience; 
reliance  on  his  own  judgment  and  courteous 
trust  in  the  publisher's;  and  between  his  bank 
account  and  his  pride  in  and  love  for  his 
profession, 

A  noble  one,  too,  it  is. 

There  are  some  "ideal  buyers"  fine  fellows, 
too.    All  honor  to  them! 

May  their  tribe  and  their  bank  accounts 
increase ! 

*'Take  Alonga  Book*' 

THE  effect  of  the  summer  slogan  of  the 
bookselling  campaigns  appears  in  one  of  the 
recent  syndicated  articles  of  H,  Addington 
Bruce,  headed  "Vacation  Days."  Among  the 
items  of  advice  offered  by  Mr.  Bruce  are : 
'Take  along  sensil)lc  clothes  for  tramping  thru 
rough  country.  Take  along  some  good  fiction, 
and  most  certainly  take  along  a  few  simple 
books  omi  birds  and  trees  and  wild  flowers  that 
will  really  help  you  get  acquainted  with  nature. 
If  you  have  never  had  any  real  acquaintance 
with  nature  before,  a  rare  treat  is  in  store  for 
you." 

The  Indianapolis  Public  Library  has 
established  a  Paul  Lawrence  Dunbar  Branch, 
thus  connecting  the  name  of  the  great  negro 
poet  with  the  extension  of  book  service  to 
his  race.

June  24,  1922  1823 

To  the  American  Booksellers'  Association 

Office  of  the  President, 

Washington,  D.  C,  June  17,  1922. 

TO  Our  Five  Hundred  Members: 
Just  five  weeks  have  passed  since  the  end  oi  the  Wasihington  Convention— just   far 

enough  away  from  iit  to  consider  its  effects:  in  a  calm  and  unprejudiced  way. 

The  judgment  of  all  who  attended  and  even  those  who  have  reads  of  it,  is  that  it  was  the 
most  constructive — inasmuch  as  we  adhered  very  closely  to  the  convention  theme  selected — 
the  most  harmonious — for  never  before  have  the  publishers  and  booksellers  mingled  with 
such  a  spirit  of  "oneness"  and  hearty  co-operation— the  most  enjoyable — for  we  were  blessed 
with  ideal  weather  conditions  which  enabled  us  to  take  advantage  of  all  the  entertainment 
offered,  in  the  most  beautiful  city  in  the  world,  our  National  Capital. 

And  we  have  reason  to  be  proud — for  the  first  time  in  the  twenty-two  years'  existence 
of  our  Association,  we — the  booksellers  of  America — have  financed  our  ozvn  convention — 
obtaining  the  best  that  the  city  afforded. 

I  wonder  how  many  of  you,  having  .returned  to  your  homes,  have  given  any  further 
thought  to  the  real  work  of  the  year  so  auspiciously  begun?  I  am  confident  that,  during 
the  convention,  were  each  one  of  you  asked  for  your  special  cooperation,  you  would  have 
heartily  given  it.  We  did  not  make  a  personal  appeal  at  that  time  but  we  are  doing  it  now. 
To  accomplish  "big"  things  we  must  have  an  increased  membership — by  hearty  cooperation 
we  can  accomplish  anything!  And'  just  as  surely  as  you  were  promised  a  full'  moon  for  the 
Potomac  trip — ^just  so  surely  are  we  going  to  double  our  membership  during  the  present 
year — ^and  you  are  going  to  do  it!  I  want  everyonie  who  attended  the  convention,  who 
is  not  a  member,  to-  join  nozv — and  you,  who  are  members,  to  pledge  yourselves  to  secure 
one  nezv  member  at  once.  Then  will  we  know  that  you  aire  appreciative  of  whait  has  been 
done  and  what  we  are  about  to  do !  The  yearly  dues  are  but  $10.00,  and  $5.00  for  associate 
memberships — just  think,  only  one  and  one  third  to  less\  than  three  cents  a  day! 

With  a  thousand  members,  we  can  double  our  activities — w'hatever  we  undertake,  and 
whatever  appeal  we  make,  the  influence  of  a  large  membership  will  be   felt. 

Mr,  Stanley  G.  Remington  of  the  Norman  Remington  Company  of  Baltimore,  Md.  is 
the  enthusiastic  chairman  of  an  enthusiastic  membership  committee.  Please  get  in  touch 
with  him,  nozv! 

Just  to  think — if  each  of  our  500  members  secures  just  one  new  member— we'W  have 
our  quota  immediately.  It's  easy — just  cooperation,  that's  all!  Your  officers  are  going  to 
work  for  yiou  and  you  are  going  to'  work  wit  h  us — for  increasing  efficiency — profit  and  good 
will    in   our   chosen   profession. 

Sincerely  yours, 

SIMON  L.  NYE. 

President.

The  Publishers'  Weekly 


The  average  percentage  of  net  losses  re- 
ported   by    13    dealers    is 6.47% 

The  average  percentage  of  net  profit  re- 
ported by  40  dealers  who  gave  actual 
figures— and  not  percentages  only — 28 
of  whom  showed  gains  and    12  losses, 

is 3.16% 

The   average   percentage    oE    increase    in 

rent  reported  by  30  dealers  is 71.29% 

The   average  number   of   times   stock   is 

turned  reported  by  46  dealers  is 2.89% 

"A  great  many  houses  reported  serious  losses 
on  the  year's  business;  those  whose  books 
showed  profits  reported  percentages  running 
from  2/3  of  I  per  cent  up  to  19.16  per  cent. 

"The  fact  that  only  a  little  over  6  per  cent 
of  our  dealer  members  responded  to  this  ques- 
tionnaire and  that  a  large  percentage  of  the 
reports  which  were  sent  in  were  of  a  very 
unsatisfactory  character,  very  clearly  indicates 
the  urgent  necessity  of  improved  cost  account- 
ing systems. 

"The  Federal  Trade  Commission  has  defi- 
nitely stated  that  the  efforts  of  a  trade  asso- 
ciation to  educate  the  individual  member  in 
the  application  of  sound  principles  of  cost  ac- 
counting in  his  individual  business,  are  proper. 
But  that  any  subsequent  effort  of  the  associa- 
tion to  reduce  the  individual  costs  to  an  aver- 
age or  uniform  cost  basis,  and  to  procure  the 
use  of  the  group  standard  as  a  basis  of  price 
making  by  each  of  the  individuals  in  the  group, 
is  improper.  The  individual  must  fix  his  own 
cost  and  his  own  margin.  The  group  may  not 
attempt  to  substitute  a  group  average  or  stan- 
dard— either  of  cost  or  margin — for  the  indi- 
vidual's figures  without  being  in  peril  of  be- 
coming an  unlawful  combination. 

"Under  these  circumstances  there  are  many 
things  for  the  retail  stationer  to  do,  but  the 
one  that  he  must  do  first  is  to  take  immediate 
steps  to  install  a  system  of  bookkeeping  that 
will  enable  him  to  keep  an  accurate  record  of 
his  cost  of  doing  business." 

A  Short  Cut  to  More  Sales 

THE  June   8th   issue  of   Printers'   Ink   con- 
tained the  following  sales   plan  outlined   in 
an  editorial : 

"A  salesman  for  a  house  making  a  nationally 
advertised  product  in  the  building  line  made  an 
analysis  of  ione  week's  work.  He  timed  him- 
self while  in  the  .presence  of  his  prospects  to 
find  out  what  he  said  there.  The  sales  manager 
had  told  him  that  what  he  said  was  as  im- 
ix^rtant  as  being  in  the  presence  oi  his  pros- 
pect. The  salesman's  analysis  showed  that 
almost  80  per  cent  of  his  time  was  spent  in 
convincing  his  buyer  that  he  sold  a  high 
quality  product  made  by  a  house  of  good 
standing   that    could    be    relied    upon    to    keep 


its  promises.  Conferences  with  his  sales 
manager  after  this  analysis  made  him  try  an 
experiment  looking  toward  a  short  cut  to  sales. 

"He  sent  a  letter  about  his  company,  to- 
gether with  a  reprint  of  its  most  recent  adver- 
tisement, to  each  of  the  men  he  was  to  call 
upon  during  the  next  week.  The  company's 
large  loutput  and  its  exceptional  ability  for 
making  quick  deliveries  in  all  parts  of  the 
world  were  emphasized  in  the  advertising. 
When  the  salesman  made  his  next  week's  calls 
he  talked  only  about  service.  He  took  it  for 
granted  that  the  advertising  and  the  letter  had 
sold  prospects  on  the  background.  He  tried 
concentrating  ion  selling  the  merchandise  and 
the  service  oi  his  house,  instead  of  spending 
most  of  this  time  on  introductory  conversation. 

"At  the  end  of  the  week  he  found  that  his 
percentage  of  sales  from  the  prospects  called 
upon  had  gione  up  2  per  cent. 

"He   is  still   working  the  new  plan." 

Retailing  Selling  Courses 

FROM  many  directions  there  come  indica- 
tions that  there  is  an  increased  attention 
to  retailing  as  a  business  to  be  prepared  for 
and  a  demand  for  those  that  will  train  for 
retail  management  and  retail  selling.  Mr. 
Macauley,  the  Detroit  bookseller,  calls  atten- 
tion to  a  hearing  given  before  the  Retail  Mer- 
chants' Bureau  of  the  Detroit  Board  of  Com- 
merce on  the  subject  of  "Training  for  Re- 
tailing." Miss  Leila  E,  Gerry,  the  representa- 
tive of  the  Cass  Technical  High  School,  stated 
that,  with  the  proper  backing  of  retail  mer- 
chants, Detroit  will  institute  a  four  year  high 
school  course  on  retail  selling.  He  urged  an 
appointment  of  a  committee  of  merchants  to 
discuss  this  matter.  Mr.  Macauley  comments 
on  this  proposal  as  follows : 

"It  certainly  shows  a  widespread  interest  in 
the  subject  of  retail  salesmanship,  even  tho 
not  allied  to  our  particular  line.  It  should 
do  a  great  deal  to  raise  the  standard  of 
efficiency  in  retail  selling.  It  is  a  favorite 
indoor  sport  to  criticize  retail  bookselling,  but 
my  observation  ihas  been  that  our  handling  O'f 
customers  is  better  than  that  in  most  other 
lines.  The  reason  of  criticism  can  only  be 
L'hat  more  is  expected  of  the  bookseller." 

Egan  Quits  Committee 

MAURICE  FRANCIS  EGAN  former 
Minister  to  Denmark,  has  resigned  from 
the  Knights  of  Columbus  historical  commis- 
sion, which  is  undertaking  to  revise  American 
history.  Mr.  Egan,  it  was  said,  had  resigned 
thru   "pressure  oi    work." 

The  place  left  vacant  by  Mr.  Egan  has 
been  taken  by  Dr.  Joseph  Dunn,  professor  of 
ethics  at  Catholic  University,  Washington,  D.  C.

Tony  Sarg  has  made  six  most  en- 
gaging drawings  of  "the  way  folks 
should  stick  to  the  summer  reading 
habit — regardless!"  three  of  which 
are  here  reproduced.  These  are  used 
by  The  Independent  to  advertise  its 
Summer  Reading  Number  of  June 
24th.  This  number  will  also  have  a 
Symposium  on  "What  I'm  Going  to 
Read  This  Summer,"  by  notables 
from  Babe  Ruth  to  Judge  Oliver 
Wendell   Holmes. 

Among  the  plays  promised  fo/ 
the  ensuing  dramatic  season  are 
Eugene  O'Neill's  "The  Fountain,"  a 
play  of  the  Ponce  de  Leon  period 
in  which  Lionel  Barrymore  will  star : 
21  new  Booth  Tarkington  play,  "Gunnel 
Blake,"  which  it  was  once  planned 
Lionel  Barrymore  would  play  but 
which  will  have  Alfred  Lunt  in  the

One  of  the  most  versatile  of 
modern  authors  is  Dr.  Edwin  E.

Independent,  and  associate  at  the 
Golumbia  School  of  Journalism.  His 
book  of  popular  science,  "Greative 
Chemistry,"  is  extremely  successful, 
selling  nearly  one  hundred  thousand 
copies.  Other  well-known  books  of  his  are 
"Maj'or  Prophets  of  Today,"  "Great  American 
Universities"  and  the  "American  Spirit  of  Edu-

SUMMER 


Sir  Arthur  Conan  Doyle  said  re- 
cently that  he  is  about  to  create  what 
he  believes  will  be  a  worthy  succes- 
sor to  Sherlock  Holmes,  whom  Sir 
Arthur  tlhinks  too  old  to  interest  the 
present  generation.  "Just  what  my 
new  character  will  be  I  do  not  know," 
said  Sir  Arthur,  "I  never  try  to  force 
my  thoughts.  I  feel  sure,  however, 
that  my  next  character  will  not  be 
a  detective.  I  will  break  new 
ground." 


A  writer  in  the  London  Evening 
Standard  tells  a  istoiry  worth  repeat- 
ing. The  author  of  a  recently  pub- 
lished lirst  novel  was  asked  by  one 
of  his  acquaintances  for  a  copy  on 
the  following  grounds :  "You  get 
free  copies  from  your  publisher.  If 
you  give  me  one  I  will  pass  it  on 
among  all  my  friends  for  them  to 
read."  The  writer  adds:  "I  also 
write  books.  Not  so  long  ago  a  man 
in  an  East  Anglian  town,  a  tailor,  to 
judge  from  the  bill  heading  on  the 
paper  he  used,  wrote  telling  me  how 
he  admired  my  work  and  if  I  would 
send  him  six  of  my  best  books  auto- 
graphed, he  could  assure  me  they 
would  have  an  honored  place  in  his 
library.  My  reply  was  that  if  he 
would  provide  me  with  six  pairs  of 
trousers  they  would  have  an  honored 
place  in  my  wardrobe.  The  corres- 
pondence then  ceased. 


Putnam's  announce  that  the  new  volume 
by  the  author  of  'The  Mirrors  of  Washing- 
ton" will  be  called  "Behind  the  Mirrors"  and 
will  discuss  issues  rather  than  personalities. 
The  new  travel  booik  by  George  Chappell,  au- 
thor of  "The  Cruise  of  the  Kawa"  will  be 
called  "My  Northern  Exposure."  The  latter 
book  will  be  published  this  fall.

of  a  first  meeting  with  a  great  teller  of  tales. 
Booksellers  are  hereby  authorized  by  the  pub- 
lisher to  return  your  money  ($1.50)  if,  within

Reminiscences  of  a  Book  Scout 

By  Joseph  Jewett  Barton 

X.      A  Picture  of  New  York 


IN   a  little  town   in   Jersey,   not   so  very   far 
away  from  New   York  there  once  dwelt  a 

man  who  was  a  member  of  a  Democratic 
National  Committee;  and  he  also  kept  a 
saloon;  and  he  died. 

I  was  walking  down  the  main  street  of  that 
little  town  one  very  hot  afternoon,  and  I  went 
into  the  saloon  that  he  used  to  keep,  and  hought 
a  glass  of  beer.  I  have  a  roving  eye,  and  I 
saw  on  the  wall  opposite  the  bar,  way  back  in 
the  corner  next  to  the  partition  that  separates 
the  little  back  room  from  the  rest  oi  the 
place,  an  old  print.  After  I  had  drunk  the 
beer  and  while  I  was  waiting  for  another  one, 
I  went  over  and  looked  at  it,  and  I  said  to  the 
bar-keep,  "What  is  the  use  of  having  a  picture 
hanging  back  there  in  a  dark,  dirty  corner? 
If  I  owned  that  picture  I  think  I  could  clean  it 
up,  and  hang  it  where  it  would  be  enjoyed. 

To  this  the  dispenser  replied:  "Well,  I  tell 
you,  friend,  that  thing  ain't  no  use  to  me  or 
anybody  else.  The  boss  he  died  last  week  and 
that  picture  has  been  hanging  on  the  wall  for 
a  good  many  years!  If  you  want  it,  you  go 
up  to  the  house  and  tell  his  widow  and  per- 
haps she  will  give  it  to  you  or  sell  it  cheap. 
Yes,  thanks,  I'll  take  a  small  one." 

I  blame  all  my  ensuing  stupidity  to  those 
few  small  glasses  of  beer,  plus  the  summer 
heat. 

I  went  to  see  Mrs.  S.,  and  there  were  auto- 
graph letters  signed  by  Grover  Cleveland  and 
everybody  Democratic,  framed  and  hanging 
on  the  wall.  She  told  me  that  she  did  not 
know  anything  about  the  pidture,  but  she 
did  not  think  it  would  be  of  any  interest  to 
her,  and  if  I  would  like  to  have  it  she  guessed 
she  would  sell,  and  wanted  to  know  how  much 
I  would  give  for  it.  I  told  her  I  thought 
five  dollars,  in  its  present  condition,  would  be 
a  fair  price. 

Naturally,  being  a  woman,  and  never  having 
seen  the  picture,  and  knowing  nothing  of  its 
value,  she  immediately  said,  "O,  I  wouldn't 
think  of  selling  it  for  less  than  seven  dollars 
and  a  half,"  so  with  a  properly  modulated,  ap- 
parent reluctance,  I  gave  her  the  seven-fifty: 

I  suggested  that  she  give  me  an  order  for 
the  print,  and  I  took  it  back  to  the  saloon  and 
was  wrapping  up  the  picture  in  a  couple  of 
newspapers,  when  a  young  man  thirty  to  thirty- 
five  years  of  age  came  in  and  walking  over  to 
me,  said :  "Are  you  the  gentleman  whom  Mrs. 
S.  sold  that  picture  to?"  and  I  admitted  that 


I  was.  "Well,  she  has  no  right  to  dispose  of 
it;  in  the  first  place,  she  is  a  second  wife  and 
there  are  children  by  the  first  wife,  and  Mr. 
S's  will  has  not  been  admitted  to  probate,  and 
as  a  matter  of  fact,  Mrs.  S.  does  not  know 
whether  this  picture  belongs  to  her  or  not.  So 
I  return  your  money,  and  you  must  leave  the 
picture." 

The  toxicologist  came  out  to  the  end  of  his 
counter  and  looked  the  stranger  over  with  a 
puzzled  frown,  then  he  looked  at  me,  and  I 
looked  at  them.  Nobody  said  a  word  more ; 
and,  after  a  short  deliberation  of  the  case,  I 
put  the  seven-fifty  tack  in  my  pocket,  with  the 
other  lone's  and  two's. 

It  was  a  very  warm  day  in  August,  and  mv 
prana  was  low,  and  I  kept  on  the  shady  side 
of  Main  Street  as  I  started  for  home. 

Somehow,  I  cannot  forget  the  color  in  that 
print.  The  sapphire  hue  of  the  bay,  the  rich 
dark  greens  of  the  foliage,  and  breaking  thru 
the  various  shadings  of  gray  cumulous  clouds, 
patches  of  clear  blue  sky.  Old  Castle  Garden 
-was  out  in  the  river,  somewhat  as  it  is  repre- 
sented on  a  Lafayette  platter.  Altogether  it 
was  one  of  those  things  that  would  impress 
even  the  merest  novice,  that  here  was  some- 
thing real. 

Of  course  I  have  regretted  the  loss  of  that 
print,  but  we  cannot  expect  success  in  every 
venture,  and  doubtless  the  occasional  tang  of 
defeat  stimulates  us  to  more  careful  efforts 
in  the  future. 

At  any  rate  I  dug  the  print  out  of  dinginess 
and  obscurity;  I  gave  it  a  larger  and  more 
appreciative  world,  and  for  consolation  I  liken 
myself  to  the  man  who  caused  two  blades  of 
igrass  to  grow  where  before  there  was  only  one. 

Last  week  I  spent  a  couple  of  days  chasing 
a  bookish  "Will-o'-the  wisp"  all  around 
Morris  County.  I  did  not  trap  him,  and  when 
I  reached  home  I  was  very  tired.  Under  these 
circumstances  I  frequently  dream. 

In  my  dream  I  was  walking  down  a  crowded 
street  in  a  large  city.  It  was  springtime,  and 
spring  with  all  her  vagaries  and  passions 
seemed  about  to  indulge  in  a  hysterical  shower. 
So  I  dropped  into  the  nearest  place  of  interest, 
which  happened  to  be  a  print  shop,  to  wait  its 
passing. 

A  man  waiting  on  a  customer  had  a  face 
that  somehow  looked  familar.  As  he  stood 
there  talking  and  making  gestures,  it  all  came 
back  to  me.    I  could  see  him  on  that  hot  August 


June  24,  1922

afternoon,  coming  thru  the  saloon  door,  with 
my  money  in  his  hand,  and  then  telling  me  how 
Mrs.  S.,  regretted  she  had  found  she  could  not 
sell  the  picture.  That  fellow  that  I  met  in  the 
saloon  was  not  a  lawyer,  he  was  a  print 
dealer  who  had  heard  of  the  picture,  and  I  had 
beat  him  in  interviewing  Mrs.  S.,  by  about  a 
half  hour.  When  he  found  I  had  bought  the 
print,  and  while  I  was  eating  my  lunch,  he 
talked  her  into  the  idea  of  selling  it  to  him  for 


twice  the  money.  With  points  from  her  he  had 
framed  up  that  glib  line  of  conversation,  on 
the  way  down  from  the  house  to  the  saloon,  and 
I  had  let  him  get  away  with  it. 

When  the  customer  went  out,  he  turned  and 
stared  at  me  a  full  minute.  Then  with  bent 
head  he  walked  slowly  over  to  the  safe,  opened 
a  drawer  and  handed  me  a  big  bunch  of  bills.

Year  Round  Summer  Material 


THE  Year-Round  Bookselling  Committee  is 
sending  out  a  News  Sheet  which  appear- 
ing just  before  the  Summer  Campaign  is 
designed  to  increase  the  usefulness  of  the  cam- 
paign materiail  by  timely  suggestions  to  dealers 
of  some  of  the  means  of  using  the  material  to 
the  best  advantage.  This  News  Sheet  Sug- 
gests : 

Posters — Use  these  in  your  unndows  and  in 
other  store  windows  if  you  can  get  permission. 
These  posters  are  designed  to  catch  the  eye  of 
the  person  who  is  not  used  to  buying  books. 
They  lose  half  their  value  when  placed,  inside 
your  store.  Get  the  posters,  and  the  books 
you  display,  with  them  to  pull  people  into  the 
store.  Use  extra  copiies  inside  if  you  wish,  but 
put  the  first  copy  of  each  poster  into  your 
window.  Preserve  posters  for  future  use.  The 
photograph  "Will  the  New  Home  Have 
Books?"  is  just  as  appropriate  for  October 
weddings  as  for  June.  Extra  posters  are  free; 
extra  frames  for  posters  at  cost,  70  cents  each. 

Windozv  transparencies — "Take  Along  a 
Book."  Place  one  in  your  door,  surely.  Others 
in  your  windows.  Appropriate  if  pasted  on 
the  glass  counter  or  case  in  the  store,  in  sta- 
tionery or  office  supplies  department,  may  make 
a  "plus"  sale.  Useful  for  news-'stands  selling 
books. 

News  Sheet — One  copy  for  reading  and  filing, 
one  copy  for  clipping,  sent  to  each  dealer.  Be 
sure  that  your  clerks  read  and  discuss  the 
suggestions.  (Extra  copies  on  request.)  From 
time  to  time  put  the  development  of  some  idea 
in  the  Neiius  Sheet  into  the  hands  of  one  or 
another  clerk.  Let  him  work  out  the  idea — ■ 
window  displays,  newspaper  advertisements, 
circulars,  special  mailing  list,  sales  talk.  His 
interest  will  be  keener  and  sales  will  increase 
Individual  development  comes  thru  respon- 
sib/ility. 

Use  the  clip  copy  in  taking  a  suggestion, 
press  release  or  advertising  copy  to  local  news- 
papers. The  advertising  manager  can  give  you 
better  service  if  he  understands  your  merchan- 
dise. 

Enclosures — Valuable  enclosures  have  been 
sent  to  you  with  the  News  Sheet,  by  courtesy 


of  the  magazines  contributing  the  articles :  re-

A  Dramatic  Figure  in  Book  Publishing 

A  Tribute  to  Horace  Everett  Hooper 


ON  June  13th,  Horace  Everett  Hooper  at 
the  age  of  sixty-two  died  of  heart  dis- 
ease at  his  home  in  Bedford  Hills,  New 
York.  This  ends  the  life  of  one  of  the  out- 
standing figures  in  publishing  and  book  mer- 
chandising of  this  country  and  Great  Britain. 
No  more  dramatic  story  in  publishing  could 
be  told  than  that  of  his  various  enterprises 
from  early  subscription  business  in  this  country 
to  the  time  of  the  publishing  of  "The  Ency- 
clopedia Britannica"  in  its  nth  edition  in  part- 
nership with  Walter  M.  Jackson,  whose  career 
has  had  the  same  dramatic  interest.  The 
careers  of  these  two  men  were  separated  in 
1909  after  a  disagreement  about  the  program 
for  the  extension  of  their  enterprises. 

Mr.  Hooper  was  a  man  of  extraordinary 
imagination  and  vision  and  had  remarkable 
confidence  in  the  public's  desire  to  absorb  im- 
portant books  in  large  quantities.  Undoubtedly 
hundreds  of  thousands  of  homes,  not  only  in 
England  and  in  the  United  States  but  in  many 
scattered  English-speaking  countries,  have  on 
their  shelves  important  reference  sets  as  the 
results  of  his  enterprises  and  the  work  of 
his  partner.  Under  his  imaginative  touch  the 
old  forms  of  subscription  selling  took  on  a 
new  form,  and  books  of  undoubted  value  were 
sold  at  reduced  prices  on  long  extended  pay- 
ments with  profits  coming  from  the  great 
number  of  sales. 

It  is  said  that  he  hit  upon  the  idea  of  small 
payment  selling  when  employed  by  a  publisher 
in  Chicago  who  had  on  hand  a  large  remainder 
of  a  standard  work  of  reference.  Mr. 
Hooper  persuaded  the  firm  to  offer  the  books 
in  their  Christmas  advertising  on  easy  terms, 
and  there  resulted  a  great  increase  In  sale. 

At  about  this  time,  "The  Century  Diction- 
ary" which  had  established  its  great  reputation 
had  exhausted  its  sale  among  those  that  could 
afford  the  original  price,  and  Mr.  Hooper 
undertook  to  plan  the  marketing  of  the  reprint, 
which  was  done  thru  the  selling  energy  of  John 
Wanamaker's   book  department. 

Mr.  Hooper's  first  connection  with  the 
London  Times  was  in  1897  when  he  first  sug- 
gested new  ideas  of  advertising  that  were  used 
in  the  selling  of  a  German  atlas  at  a  popular 
price.  He  and  Mr.  Jackson  were  associated  in 
London  with  James  and  George  Clarke,  famous 
names  in  the  publication  and  sale  of  subscrip- 
tion books.  The  publishing  was  carried  on 
under  the  name  of  Clarke  Company,  Ltd.  In 
March  of  1900  Hooper  and  Jackson  bought 
out  the  Clarke  interest  and  continued  their 
growing  enterprisers   under  the  partnership   of 


Hooper  and  Jackson.  It  was  during  the  period 
from  1900  to  1902  that  they  acquired  the  most 
important  of  the  assets  that  developed  under 
their  control,  that  of  the  copyrights  and  trade 
name  of  "The  Encyclopedia  Britannica,"  which 
in  its  ninth  revision  of  some  twenty-five  years 
before,  was  still  being  marketed  in  small 
quantities  by  A.  &  C.  Black  of  London.  En- 
couraged by  the  experiment  with  the  German 
atlas,  the  Times  agreed  to  the  sales  plan  using 
its  name,  and  the  reprints  of  the  ninth  edition, 
called  "The  London  Times  Edition"  were  sold 
at  about  half  of  the  original  price,  a  sales 
venture  which  created  a  tremendous  interest  in 
London  publishing  circles  and  was  backed  by 
forcefully  planned  display  advertising.  Other 
enterprises  developed,  some  of  which  were 
marketed  thru  newspapers  or  in  the  name  of 
the  Grolier  Society,  a  name  which  Mr.  Jackson 
afterwards  used  as  the  publishing  name  for 
his  "Book  of  Knowledge." 

During  1902  and  '03  Hooper  and  Jackson 
had  ready  for  publication  a  supplement  of 
eleven  volumes  to  the  ninth  edition,  bringing 
the  material  up-to-date,  and  this  was  copy- 
righted both  in  England  and  America  and  sold 
to  subscribers  of  the  ninth  edition  and  also 
as  a  complete  set  with  the  old  volumes.  This 
was  considered  by  them  as  a  preliminary  to 
the  getting  ready  for  a  complete  revision  of 
the  whole  work,  which  they  had  ready  eight 
years  later. 

In  the  meantime,  in  1902,  owing  to  provisions 
of  the  English  Tax  Law,  the  affairs  of  Clarke 
Company,  Ltd.  were  liquidated,  and  English 
and  American  companies  formed  to  take  over 
the  business.  The  English  company  was  known 
as  Hooper  and  Jackson.  Ltd.,  and  the  American 
company  as  The  Encyclopedia  Britannica  Com- 
pany, a  New  York  corporation.  $100,000  was 
drawn  from  the  business  to  become  the  operat- 
ing capital  of  the  English  concern,  and  the  re- 
maining assets  were  conveyed  to  the  New  York 
company  for  the  issuing  of  $i,ooo,Ooo  in  bonds 
and  $500,000  in  capital  stock.  The  concern 
carried  on  many  fights  against  the  infringement 
of  copyright  of  the  Britannica.  In  1903  the 
Illinois  Company  was  formed  under  the  advice 
of  counsel  to  take  over  the  assets  of  the  New 
York  corporation,  and  this  new  company  took 
over  the  copvrights  which  had  been  held  in  trust 
by  A.  &  C.  Black.  The  stock  of  the  new 
company  was  divided  equally  between  Mr. 
Hooper  and  Mr.  Jackson  with  one  share  each 
■placed  with  five  other  men  for  organization 
purposes,  so  that  neither  owned  a  majority  of 
the     stock.       H.     B.     Burrows     of     Burrows

1829 


Brothers  Company  became  associated  with  the 
business  later,  and  on  the  opening  of  the  large 
office  on  Thirty-Third  Street  in  1908  was  es- 
tablished as  American  representative. 

In  preparation  for  the  well-laid  plans  which 
they  had  for  editing  and  marketing  an 
eleventh  edition  of  the  B'ritannica,  an  arrange- 
ment was  made  with  Cambridge  University 
that  this  issue  should  be  announced  under 
the  name  of  the  Cambridge  University 
Edition. 

A  large  force  of  editors  was  gathered  and 
detailed  plans  developed  for  perfecting  every 
department  under  the  most  authoritative 
writers,  English  and  American.  In  January, 
1908,  while  this  plan  was  being  developed, 
came  the  public  announcement  of  the  proposed 
change  in  the  control  of  the  London  Times, 
which  was  regarded  by  the  partners  as  likely 
to  impair  the  value  of  a  contract  which  they 
had  for  advertising  and  marketing  this  new 
edition.  They  had  spent  a  vast  amount  of 
money  on  this  contract,  estimated  at  half  a 
million  dollars  and,  to  secure  this  interest,  they 
contemplated  becoming  associated  with  the 
Times  ownership,  or  as  Mr.  Hooper  thought, 
taking  over  the  Times  to  become  part  of  their 
enterprises.  By  March  of  that  year  negotia- 
tions were  completed  by  the  two  partners 
which  put  the  control  of  the  London  Times 
into  the  hands  of  a  limited  liability  company 
which  three  months  later,  owing  to  differences 
among  the  members,  was  again  transferred, 
this  time  to  the  management  of  Lord  North- 
cliffe. 

It  had  been  Mr.  Hooper's  desire  to  organize 
a  large  corporation  for  the  control  of  the 
Times  with  a  security  offered  to  the  public,  but 
Mr.  Jackson  had  objected  to  this  as  hazardous. 
The  new  proprietors  entered  into  further  con- 
tract with  Hooper  and  Jackson,  giving  them 
the  right  to  publish  and  sell  exclusively  such 
subscription  books  as  were  agreed  upon.  A 
month  later,  in  July  1908,  there  came  further 
disagreement  between  the  two  partners  as  to 
their  joint  undertakings  and  Mr.  Hooper's 
plan  for  the  development  of  the  eleventh  edi- 
tion and  its  sale  to  all  parts  of  the' 'world  by 
raising  $1,500,000  on  their  joint  assets  was  also 
objected  to  by  Mr.  Jackson.  Mr.  Hooper  then 
offered  Mr.  Jackson  the  entire  responsibility 
after  their  assets  had  been  liquidated.  A  few 
months  later  the  partners  met  in  New  York, 
and  Mr.  Hooper  offered  his  interest  in  all 
enterprises  for  $2,000,000.  Mr.  Jackson  de- 
clined, and  Mr.  Hooper  then  proposed  that  he 
(Mr.  Hooper)  should  be  given  sole  charge,  but 
Mr.  Jackson  also  declined.  Mr.  Hooper  then 
assumed  control  thru  the  votes  of  the  minor 
stock  holders,  and  Mr.  Jackson  brought  suit 
in  the  New  Jersey  courts,  which  brought  the 
whole   situation   to   public  notice.     There   was 


long  litigation,  eventually  won  by  Mr.  Hooper, 
when  in  1912  the  Supreme  Court  decided  that 
Mr.  Hooper  did  not  have  to  pay  $6,000,000 
to  Mr.  Jackson  for  his  share  in  "The  Ency- 
clopedia" enterprise.  Thereafter  Mr.  Hooper 
remained  in  undisputed  control. 

While  this  litigation  had  been  going  on,  the 
campaign  of  sale  for  the  eleventh  edition  had 
been  carried  out  with  truly  remarkable  suc- 
cess. The  planning  of  this  campaign  and  its 
systematic  development  showed  more  than  any 
one  thing  the  remarkable  imagination  of  Mr. 
Hooper  and  his  confidence  in  large  enterprises. 
The  canvass  was  made  wholly  thru  the  mails 
with  reliance  on  tremendous  display  advertis- 
ing, elaborate  and  detailed  prospectuses.  The 
mail  matter  sent  out  was  more  elaborate  and 
expensive  than  ever  used  on  similar  efforts. 
A  very  effective  part  of  the  campaign  was  the 
realization  of  the  sales  value  of  the  India 
paper  appeal  with  the  result  that  a  very  heavy 
percentage  of  the  sales  was  in  that  form. 
Tremendous  problems  in  manufacture  were 
faced,  it  being  difficult  to  find  printers  who 
could  competently  handle  India  paper  in  such 
large  run*. 

The  campaign  was  planned  to  end  twelve 
months  after  its  conception,  and  as  the  months 
went  by,  the  closing  date  was  kept  steadily 
before  the  public.  Such  a  method  meant  that 
by  the  time  ten  or  eleven  months  were  over, 
the  outlay  for  promotion  had  been  tremendous 
and  still  out  of  proportion  to  the  result.  As 
the  closing  date  for  the  low  price  approached, 
the  cumulative  power  of  the  campaign  began 
to  show  up  with  a  final  total  that  equalled  or 
exceeded  the  publisher's   fondest  hopes. 

Some  years  after  the  smaller  size  reprint 
was  planned,  photographed  on  a  small  scale 
without  resetting  of  type,  and  marketed  this 
time  thru  the  Sears  Roebuck  Company.  Sears 
Roebuck  were  owners  of  the  stock  connected 
with  this  new  effort,  and  later  became  owners 
of  the  majority  stock  of  "The  Encyclopedia 
Britannica  Company"  which  owned  the  rights  to 
the  large  and  the  small   editions. 

Besides  this  "Britannica"  enterprise  with  its 
tremendous  growth,  the  firm  of  Hooper  and 
Jackson  was  responsible  for  the  development 
of  the  Times  Book  Club  in  London,  which 
entered  the  field  already  held  by  Mudic's, 
Boots'  and  others.  They  used  the  great  pres- 
tige of  the  London  Times  for  its  advertising 
and  injected  new  vigor  into  the  circulating 
library  movement  by  promising  to  supply  new 
books  as  wanted  and  to  sell  the  old  books  to 
subscribers  at  reduced  prices.  The  English 
publishers  were  understood  to  have  welcomed 
this  new  stimulus  to  l)ook  circulation,  and 
promised  thru  Mr.  Hooper  to  spend  increased 
funds  in  book  advertising  in  the  London 
Times.       Later     the     Book     Club     came     to

war  with  the  rest  of  the  London  trade  thru 
criticism  of  their  plan  of  selling  the  worn 
books  at  reduced  prices.  Macmillan  &  Com- 
pany brought  up  the  issue  when  the  Book 
Club  placed  quantities  of  the  "Life  of 
Churchill"  among  their  clean-up  stock  and  a 
book  twar  ensued  that  attracted  wide  attention 
in  the  English  book-trade  periodicals. 

The  scope  of  the  transactions  involved  in 
these  various  enterprises  made  Mr.  Hooper's 
career  a  spectacular  one  in  book  publishing. 
It  probably  should  be  read  side  by  side  with 
a  detailed  account  of  that  of  Walter  M.  Jack- 
son, his  former  partner,  a  man  of  equal  power 
and  vision, 

Mr.  Hooper  was  born  in  Worcester,  Decem- 
ber 3rd,  1859,  a  descendant  of  some  ot  the 
earliest  settlers  of  New  England.  He  was 
educated  in  Worcester  public  schools,  and  at 
Princeton  Preparatory  School.  It  was  in 
1893  that  he  entered  the  book  business  as 
representative  in  Denver  of  the  Western  Book 
and  Stationery  Company.  Two  years  later 
'he  organized  "The  Century  Dictionary"  sale 
for  the  State  of  Colorado.  It  was  with  this 
training  that  he  entered  into  the  wider  field 
described  above. 

Women's  National  Book  Ass'n 

THE  last  meeting  of  the  season  of  the 
Women's  National  Book  Association  was 
held  at  the  National  Arts  Club,  New  York 
City,  June  8th.  Miss  Belle  M.  Walker,  the 
president  of  the  Association,  opened  the  meet- 
ing. Miss  Walker  pointed  out  that  at  the 
recent  Booksellers'  Convention  in  Washington 
143  of  those  registered  were  women.  There 
were  three  speakers  at  the  meeting,  all  authors, 
this  being  authors'  year  in  the  Association's 
I.rogiam.  The  first  speaker  was  Mrs.  Sophie 
Kerr  Underwood.  Mrs.  Underwood  spoke 
chiefly  of  the  work  of  the  late  Samuel  A. 
Derieux,  praising  the  dog  story  "Frank  of 
Freedom  Hill,"  recently  published  by  Double- 
day,  Page  &  Co.  The  second  speaker  was 
Mrs.  Emma  Beatrice  Brunner,  author  of  "The 
Personal  Touch,"  publis'hed  this  spring  by 
Brentano's.  This  is  Mrs.  Bnmner's  first 
novel  and  it  received  its  name  from  the  effect 
of  the  different  personalities  with  whom  the 
hero  comes  in  contact.  Mrs.  Brunner  told 
of  her  work  as  a  newspaper  reporter  and 
something  of  her  work  as  a  playwrig*ht.  The 
third  speaker  of  the  evening  was  Edgar  A. 
Guest,  who  read  from  his  poems  and  a  verse 
included  in  his  recent  prose  volume,  "Making 
the  House  a  Home."  Thru  the  courtesy  of 
the  publishers,  Reilly  &  Lee  and  Doubleday, 
Page  &  Co.,  copies  of  "Making  the  House 
a  Home"  and  "Frank  of  Freedom  Hill"  were 
presented  as   souvenirs   of  the  occasion. 


Maquet  Heirs  Get  Half  of  Dumas 
Royalties 

THE  Paris  courts  have  decided  a  case  which 
has  aroused  much  interest  in  the  literary 
world,  ruling  that  the  heirs  of  Auguste  Maquet 
have  a  rightful  claim  to  50  per  cent,  of  the 
royalties  on  the  sales  loif  the  works  of  Alexandre 
Dumas  since  1908.  A  committee  of  three  ex- 
perts was  appointed  to  establish  the  amount 
which  the  heirs  of  the  author  of  "The  Three 
Musketeers"  must  pay  over  in  arrears.  The 
further  claim  that  Maquet's  name  should  ap- 
pear in  all  future  editions  was  unsuccessful. 

Auguste  Maquet  was  a  collaborator  of  Du- 
mas and  proof  has  been  produced  that  he 
wrote  part  of  Dumas'  novels.  A  •  historian. 
Maquet  was  unable  to  write  novels  owing  to 
his  inability  to  write  dialog.  He  supplied  Du- 
mas with  the  skeleton  of  whole  novels  as  well 
as  aiding  in  their  development. 

The  men  were  close  friends,  but  the  Paris 
court  says,  "The  disorder  of  Alexandre  Du- 
mas' affairs  always  was  such  that  despite  the 
bonds  of  sincere  friendship  ^binding  him  and 
his  collaborator,  he  never  paid  Maquet  the 
share  of  royalties  due  him." 

"It  will  be  surprising  for  most  people  to 
learn  from  a  Paris  dispatch  that  royalties 
are  still  paid  on  the  books  of  Alexandre  Du- 
mas, and  that  50  per  cent,  of  this  money  must 
go  to  the  heirs  of  Auguste  Maquet,  because  of 
the  essential  part  played  by  him  in  the  produc- 
tion of  those  deathless  romances,"  says  the 
New  York  Times. 

"It  long  has  been  known,  of  course,  to  many 
— to  everybody  who  has  read  the  literary  an- 
nals of  Dumas'  time — that  he  had  help  in  his 
work,  and  it  has  been  more  than  suspected  that 
to  some  of  the  books  called  his  he  contributed 
little  more  than  his  name.  That  none  of  them 
were  wholly  his — that  half  the  proceeds  belong 
by  right  to  a  veiled  assistant — gives  something 
of  a  shock  to  most  of  his  innumerable  admir- 
ers. 

"They  need  not  be  worried — need  not  miti- 
gate their  wonder  at  the  great  mulatto's 
achievements.  What  Maquet  did,  and  his  heirs 
claim  no  more,  was  to  provide  the  historical 
bones  for  Dumas  to  clothe  with  living  flesh, 
coursed  by  veins  filled  with  the  reddest  of 
blood.  His  glory,  therefore,  was  fully  earned, 
and  he  had  quite  as  much  right  to  utilize  the 
knowledge  of  a  learned  historian,  which  Ma- 
quet was,  as  to  gather  his  facts  from  published 
books,  as  do  the  writers  of  other  such  stories." 

It  is  reported  that  Will  Rogers,  the  popular 
movie  artist,  has  been  trying  his  hand  at 
writing  verses.     A  veritable  poet-lariat !

LIBRARIES   SELL  BOOKS 

June    12,    1922. 

Editor,    Publisher's    Weekly: 

This  stiory  has  just  reached  this  office: 
A  librarian  had  given  a  reader  a  copy  of  our 
Reading  Course  on  Accounting.  He  came 
in  the  next  day  and  said  with  some  enthusiasm, 
"I  am  going  to  get  all  these  books  in  the 
accountancy  list ;  it  is  the  prettiest  lineup  I 
ever   saw." 

Just  another  incident  to  show  that  the 
distribution  of  book  suggestions  by  libraries 
does  promote  the  sale  101  f  books.

PRICES  TOO  HIGH  ON  BOHN 

June    10,    1922. 
Editor,  Publishers'  Weekly: 

Anent  your  several  articles  referring  to  the 
practice  of  certain  book  dealers  of  grossly 
exaggerated  quotations  on  O.  P.  books  we 
submit  the  enclosed  which  impresses  us  as 
particularly  noteworthy. 

We  have  received  many  quotations  on 
Bohn's  Classical  Library  but  none  exceeds 
$2.00  and  the  majority  of  them  were  at  $1.00 
to  $1.50.  The  two  cards  I  enclose  show  a 
Philadelphia  quotion,  any  volume  75c  and  a 
New  York  dealer  quoting  any  title  $5.00. 

We  will  be  pleased  to  defray  the  cost  inci- 
dent to  sending  the  New  York  dealer  marked 
copies  of  your  Weekly  that  he  may  know 
the  esteem  in  which  the  trade  generally  re- 
gards dealers  who  indulge  in  the  practice  of 
over   quoting. 

D.  K.  MEDCALF,  Scrantoni's. 
P.  S. — Incidentally  we  have  on  hand  fifty  or 
more  Bohn  that  would  show  us  a  nice

Rare  Books,  Autographs  and  Prints 


THE  new  Vailima  edition  of  Stevenson's 
"Works"  is  now  reported  to  be  out  Oif 
print  and  selling  at  a  premium  in  England. 

The  new  "Life  of  Donald  C.  Mitchell"  writ- 
ten by  Walter  H.  Dunn  and  published  by 
Sdibners,  contains  a  very  full  bibliography 
of  his  writings. 

Among  the  rarities  in  the  last  catalog  of 
Charles  J.  Sawyer,  Ltd.,  of  London  is  the 
Huth  copy  of  William  Caxton's  "Chastening 
of  God's  Children"  printed  in  1491  and  one  of 
six  known  perfect  copies. 

Henry  Chapin  will  shortly  retire  from  tihe 
management  of  the  Brick  Row  Book  Shop  at 
Princeton,  N.  J.,  to  reside  in  Oxford,  Eng- 
land, and  will  be  superseded  by  Charles  A. 
Arrott,    formerly   assistant   manager. 

Part  n  (Iconography)  of  a  catalog  entitled 
"The  Art  of  the  Press,"  issued  by  the  XVIII 
Century  Shoip  at  713  Madison  Avenue,  contains 
more  than  a  thousand  items,  many  of  which 
are  of  special  interest  to  collectors.  There 
are  a  great  many  French  items,  some  of  which 
are  rare  and  seldom  seen  here. 

At  the  recent  Patterson  sale  at  Anderson's 
the  Brick  Row  Book  Shop  'bought  a  volume 
with  a  Grolier  binding.  It  had  many  annota- 
tions and  it  now  appears  that  these  were  by 
the  famous  bibliophile.  Mr.  Hackett  has  made 
many  lucky  purchases,  but  few  that  can  give 
him  greater  satisfaction  than  this  one.

Byrne  Hackett  of  the  Brick  Row  Book  Shop 
will  sail  for  London  on  June  27.  He  carries 
with  him  a  longer  list  of  "wants"  from  a  larger 
number  of  customers  than  ever  before.  All 
three  of  his  book  shops— at  New  Haven,  in 
this  city,  and  at  Princeton— have  had  a  success- 
ful season  and  prospects  are  bright  for  next. 

"The  Portraits  of  Sir  Francis  Bernard"  is 
the  title  of  the  latest  publication  of  the  Club  of 
odd  Volumes  of  Boston,  being  a  small  pam- 
phlet, limited  to  100  copies,  containing  re- 
marks made  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the  club 


in  December  by  Albert  Matthews.  A  portrait 
of  Governor  Bernard  was  the  first  publication 
of  the  club  in  1889. 

The  London  binders  are  just  learning  that 
the  demand  for  gorgeous  bindings  by  "rich 
Americans"  is  on  the  decline.  They  can 
hardly  believe  that  American  buyers  have 
turned  discriminating  collectors  all  at  once. 
They  do  not  apparently  realize  that  these  costly 
books  were  sold  by  agents  and  dealers  who  are 
now  giving  them  Hittle  attention  and  are  con- 
centrating upon  genuinely  rare  books  and  man- 
uscripts for  which  there  is  a  quicker  and  safer 
market. 

The  growing  observance  of  literary  cen- 
tenaries continues  to  bring  out  objections  in 
England.  Some  are  bored,  others  dislike  the 
enthusiasm,  and  others  think  the  idea  over- 
done. On  the  other  hand,  they  are  welcomed 
and  made  the  most  of  here.  The  Grolier  Club 
nearly  every  year  has  one  or  more  exhibitions 
of  this  kindl  The  Keats  centenary  exhibitition 
of  last  year  and  the  Shelley  of  this  spring  have 
given  great  pleasure  to  many  book  lovers.  The 
recent  Roosevelt  exhibition  and  that  of  Moliere 
now  ion  view  at  the  New  York  Public  Library 
have  been  visited  by  thousands.  The  educa- 
tional value  of  such  exhibitions  are  hard  to 
overestimate.  They  cannot  have  any  other 
effect  than  to  make  many  new  book  lovers  and 
collectors  and  to  enthuse  old  ones. 

It  is  quite  probable  that  the  English  collector 
will  be  obliged  to  come  to  this  country  before 
long  when  he  wants  a  First  Folio  of  Shakes- 
peare. A-Iost  of  the  copies  of  this  great  book 
now  remaining  in  England  are  in  great  public 
collections.  In  this  country  only  three  copies 
are  to  be  found  in  public  libraries :  the  Eliza- 
bethan Club  at  Yale  University,  The  Lenox 
collection  in  the  New  York  Public  Library,  and 
in  the  Barton  collection  in  the  Boston  Public 
Library.  There  are,  however,  copies  in  the 
great  private  collections  of  Henry  E.  Hunting- 
ton, William  A.  White,  Henry  C.  Folger,  J. 
L.  Clawson,  J.  Pierpont  Morgan,  George  A. 
Plimpton,  Carl  Pforsheimer,  Beverly  Chew, 
Herschel  V.  Jones,  George  Herbert  Palmer, 
John  C.  Williams  and  lothers.  Several  copies 
can  be  found  among  the  rare  book  shops  of 
this  city. 

The  caricature  or  cartoon  has  lost  much  of 
its  old-time  force.  In  the  days  of  Rowland- 
son,  Gillray,  George  Cruikshank  and  the  elder 
Doyle  it  created  many  bitter  enmities.  Thomas 
Nast's  cartoons  of  William  M.  Tweed  and  his

guilty  gang  were  really  prophetic  and  were  a 
terror  to  the  municipal  thieves.  Gillam's  fa- 
mous cartoons  of  Blaine  in  the  campaign  of 
1884  led  some  legislators  to  urge  its  legal 
suppression.  Roosevelt,  it  will  be  remembered, 
was  on  the  best  of  terms  with  the  cartoonists 
who  had  done  much  to  make  him  famous, 
Mark  Hanna  even  forgave  Davenport  for  the 
ugly  cartoons  of  the  campaign  of  1896.  The 
late  Sir  Leslie  Ward,  the  famuus  "Spy"  of  the 
London  Vanity  Fair,  was  even  given  the  tribute 
of  a  dinner  by  those  whom  he  had  pilloried. 
Times  have  indeed  changed  and  it  is  doubtful 
if  the  caricaturist  or  cartoonist  will  ever  again 
ibe  feared  as  he  was  in  the  days  when  pictures 
of  all  kinds,  especially  in  books  and  news- 
papers, were  less  common. 


A  scarce  and  interesting  item  of  Americana 
appeared  in  the  sale  of  the  Heartman  Auc- 
tion  Company  at  Perth  Amboy,  N.  J.,  on  June 
22.  This  was  a  thirty-two  page  pamphlet  by 
J.  Benjamin  Franklin  entitled  "A  Cheap  Trip 
to  the  Great  Salt  Lake  City,"  printed  in  Ips- 
wich in  the  fifties.  At  the  end  of  1858  he  was 
sent  to  California  as  a  Mormon  missionary,  but 
he  abjured  the  tenets  of  the  sect  and  preached 
against  Mormonism.  Brigham  Young  publicly 
denounced  him  as  a  traitor,  after  which 
Benjamin  toured  the  United  States  and  Eng- 
land, revealing  the  Mormon  secrets.  In  the 
Desert  News  of  January  29,  1857,  appeared 
an  article  from  the  pen  of  Brigham  Young: 
"There  is  a  little  matter  of  business  that  we 
want  to  lay  before  you,  in  regard  to  J.  B. 
Franklin,  who  went  to  California.  .  .  . 
It  will  be  the  duty  of  my  brethren  to  secure 
this  man,  if  possible,  on  his  way  across  the 
mountains,  so  that  his  lying  tongue  shall  not 
reach  the  Saints  in  England."  Had  Franklin 
been  apprehended  he  would  never  have  reached 
England  and  his  opposition  to  Mormonism 
would  doubtless  have  come  to  a  quick  stop. 


The  American  rare  book  dealers  almost 
without  exception  will  soon  be  making  their 
departure  for  London  and  the  Continent,  taking 
their  annual  vacation  and  searching  European 
countries  for  stock.  They  are  taking  with 
them  long  lists  of  "wants"  and  are  prepared 
to  buy  if  stock  and  prices  are  attractive.  The 
English  rare  book  trade  is  looking  forward 
to  July  and  August  with  some  anxiety.  It 
hopes  to  make  these  two  record-breaking 
months,  but  their  American  customers  have 
recently  shown  so  much  independence  that  it  is 
a  bit  disconcerting.  The  New  York  Evening 
Post  quotes  the  following  from  the  letter  of  an 
English  dealer: 


"I  anticipate  a  lively  summer.  We  under- 
stand the  American  collector  better  than  here- 
tofore. We  have  learned  that  he  knows  pretty 
well  what  he  wants  and  that  he  is  a  good 
sport.  He  will  pay  a  high  price  (too  high,  we 
sometimes  think)  in  open  competition,  and 
even  to  a  dealer,  if  he  is  treated  right.  He 
has,  however,  a  great  dislike  to  having  anything 
'put  over'  on  him;  as  soon  as  this  is  under- 
taken business  comes  to  a  standstill.  The  big 
London  houses  appreciate  their  American  trade 
and  are  disposed  to  meet  it  more  than  half 
way." 

If  all  of  the  London  trade  takes  as  practical 
a  view  as  this  writer  there  will  be  a  great 
deal  of  business  done,  but  we  suspect  that 
English  dealers  will  be  found  charging  about 
all,  or  a  little  more,  than  the  "traffic  can 
bear."  F.  M.  H.

Dear  Mr,  Book^aeller: 

We  occasionally  hear  same  book  dealer  say 
that  this  is  not  a  fiction  year,  that  the  public  is  tired  of 
novels. 

If  that  is  the  case,  it  must  b6  that' the 
public  has  not  been  given  the  right  kind  of  novels;  True,  there 
have  been  tremendously  popular  books  the  past  year,  but  these 
very* best  sellers  have  oftentimes  bean  more  talked  about  than 
read.    It  was  the  fad  to  own  this  or  that  book  and  to  seem  to 
possess  a  knowledge  of  its  story,  but 'often,  far  too  often,  the 
actual  reading  of  the  tale  was  boring.    Such  successes  as 
these  were  publisher  made  or  dealer  made.   They  were  not  public 
made. 

We  have  just  published  a  novel  which  the 
reader  himself  Is  finding  irresistible.   It  is  Cyril  Alington's 

THROUGH  THB  SHADOWS 

a  (genuinely  humorous  tale.    It  is  going  to  be  the  fad  to  read 
this,  And  you  would  do  well  to  be  prepared  for  a  large  demand 
for  it.   There  is  no  better  customer  than  the  one  who  has 
chuckled, or  laughed  outright  through  two  hundred  odd  pages. 
He  is  sure  to  come  back  for' something  else.   If  we  had  more 
books  like  Cyril  Alington's,  THROUGH  THB  SHADOWS,  no  dealer 
would  ever  complain  of  poor  fiction  years.   There  wouldn't  be 
any. 

Have 'ft  look  at  your  stock  suid  then  send  in 
your  order  for  this  book  which,  according  to  the  New  York  Sun, 
'•makes  one  grow  tired  of  laughing' before  one  tires  of  reading 
it",  and  of  which  the  Herald  says,  •♦it  is  guaranteed  to  provide 
^amusement".   Get  your  order  in  today,  so  as  to  have  stock  with 
which  to  take  advantage  of  the  extensive  advertising  campaign 
which  has  already  started.     Price  Si.  75
