There seems to be a growing senti-
ment against the uncut page habit.
which is one of the pet habits of pub
fishers in this day and generation. OF
course il looks rather distinguished,
because it implies that the buyer OF the
book has the patience to hunt up pa
per-knife and the leisure to use II, but
Il is more or less of a nuisance. The
leaves are less easily turned after they
have been cut, and some people are ut
terly unable to do the job neatly, which
vexes the soul of the orderly reader
who may pick up the book afterward.
1t is not pleasant to see pieces chewed
out of the corners or sides of pages,
even pages not ones own. But the
most decided objection TO the uncut
page habit lies in the fact that ii makes
reading a much slower business. To
stop and pay attention TO the way in
which the original paper was folded.
and rip il apart in just the right
place, breaks the thread of ones
thoughts as the antics of a stylographic
pen sometimes disturbs the continuity
of an authors ideas.
