for what should not cost over 50 cent Ths
trade are well satisfied with such small
sales, since the get up of a sL50 novel
does not cost more than 20 cents a copy,

lie pays s. 800 or a clear profit of q, 800 on
the &, 900 invested. OF this profit the au
thor receives only $50, the remaining

To get the same amount Of profit out OF
a 50-cent edition the trade would be
obliged to handle nearly 5000 copies; but
then the authors royalty, if only ter
