HIGH TONED BOOK AGENTS.
Men Who Only Sell Volumes Worth
From $50 to $500.

There is a distinct upper class of
book agents who never come in contact
with the general public" remarked
Mr.. Charles H. Meyers. Il have been
interested in art publications for
number of years and know most of the
tiptOp statesmen in the country. They
handle books that range from $50 to
$500 in price and only call on people
who figure on certain select lists. These
lists are the result of the cuttings of
years, and, combined. they represent
nearly all of the high class book buyers
of the United States. Each publishing
house has its own collection of names,
and they are valued highly.

and went out of business several years
ago and its roster of buyers was consid-
cred its very best asset. 1t was pur-
chased for something like So, 900. The
class of books handled by the agents to
whom | refer would greatly astOnish
the everyday patron of the shops. They
are printed in very limited editions,
and every refinement of mechanical art
Is laVlshed on their preparations Some
times the edition numbers only 20 or
30, and as sCun as it is off the press the
type is taken down and distributed.
The illustrations are frequently water

etchings, and it is quite common for
the vignette letters to he tinted by hand.
