Book News for February !,
ready.
Dullest time of year with
Book makers, and yet Febru.
airy Book News tells of Se0enfp.
etght Re00 Books, and gives
clews to the drift and worth Of
most of them. Very likely
not 10 of these Is Books have
any special interest to you an
other 10 appeal to some one
else, and 50 on. Somea0heye
there is a mind-niche for every
one of these new Books.
But how many of you have
the time or the chance to die
into the Books Of every month
and make a choice? The com
mon way is to buy haphazard
or go without.
Of course when a Book is
in everybody's talk-as Robert
EISmere or john Ward,
PveacAe'i are just now-curi-
osity pricks you to read it.
But that's a slow way to get a
hint. Book News readers see
the light of new genius at the
dawning.
Newspaper men are in the
full sweep of the new-Book
current. No one knows better
than they what it is to have the
drudgery Of Book looking and
weighing and choosing done by
a safe friend. Here is what
some of them say:
