A friend who knows thoroughly the art of book
IN anu featuring has given some interesting
figures upon the books of Mr.. Archibald Clavering
Gunter, whose new book, THAT Frenchman," has
just been published. What he said was about
follows, and possibly the information may put
heart into some young writer who has boundless
faith in his own spark of divine genius
81 have been making some estimates" said the
man of books, "as to the amount of money Mr.. A.
c. Gunter made because several publishers declined
his "Mr. Barnes OF New York" and the result is
follows in plain figures. II Mr. Gunter had been
so unfortunate as to get his books issued by pub
Usher the most he could expect to have received
would have been a copyright of ten per cent on the
retail price, and his statement would be as follows
$50 600 copies mir. Earnes of New York." royalty SC
10000 copies Texas" royalty SC per
900 copies "rhat FrenchmAn" nrst edition. SC per
copy -. -, 5000
Making total of .. ............. ...-...= $500
Even this must have been a very fine profit for
these three books. But what he did do to
facture and sell the first book himself, because
no one would manufacture il for him. and he fol-
lowed the same tactics the Others, because he saw
no reason for dividing profits with any publisher.
Now, look at the statement of the profits that Mr..
Gunter actually did make, and know the figures
are accurate. He took his manuscript to Messrs.
J. J. Little Il Co., the printers, and told them to
print 1000 copies. The plates cost 1925 and the
paper and binding for this small quantity about
ten cents EACH making total expense of 1928. AS
he only got $500 for the whole edition, he out
of pocket 1925, but see the result il stands
to- day when his books have had their enormous
run:
Cost Of plates OF the three hooks 1923
OF $4,000 copies. distributed

copy .-.. - I7.lOO

CREDITOR
Received from company and trade for 10000
copies above, the rate of 20 cents being

Do you think it wonderful that Mr.. Gunter now
calls himself "The Home Publishing Company"
and issues his own novelist His ex perience has
been unique, but you that he is nearly $685.,
900 better of than If his book had been welcomed
by the publishers readers.

Natural Wonders That Are Well worthy

knows very little. 1t is true there are
no cavcrns like the Mammoth cave in
Kentucky or the Lurny cavcins in Vir-

eStine to be better known than they
are.
These natural culiosities are about
dozen in number, VALLEY cave
being the largest. 1t is Il doublest0ri-

some four hundred or iive hundred feet
in length and about twelve feet in
width The exit i at the top OF the

much smaller. and is connected with
the first by passage large enough for
half dozen to pass abreast.
