Publishers Woes.

We have often heard of the wall of
the authors. Here is the wall of the
publishers: A more capracious, ty-
rannical and utterly spoiled set of
people never existed than the book
buying public. The merest trifle gives
it offense. A price a few cents too
high, cover of the wrong color, too
thick or too thin paper, too small or
too large style of type, publication a
few days too late, two volumes instead
of one or one instead of two-any one
of these happenings is quite sufficient
to kill a book and leave it's unfortu-
nate maker with nothing but so many
pounds of paper stock and old metal
to turn into cash. Not one book in
twenty calls for third thousand, for
the book buying public" Will not buy
old books
Every season the makers are besieg-
ed by this vast array of unlaid spirits,
apparently doomed to walk the earth
and cry; Give us new booksm with
out delgning even to intimate what
sort or kind of books it wants. 1t may
possibly -that is, there is a slight pos
nbility that it may-take fancy to
some OF the few new ones; but, as for
the old, 1t does not want them at any
price. The result is that these book
makers go on from year to year pihng
up their store of paper stock and old
metal. After all, why should these
bookmakers expect to be freed from
the operation of fixed principles which
control other makers, such as coat
makers, hatmakers, shoemakers, etc.
