sand copies will also he taken on the railroads.
of course. as you know, it is almost always
the popular books of the day that are bought
or the cars-the books that are in the public
eyer for the time being, and chiefly. l might
almost say exclusively, novels. There might be
volume OF essays that struck the popular
mind and circulated largely. that would have its
share Of railway trade; there might be
biography much in popular demand-say one
Of Mckinley. or of somebody in temporary
prominence-but there is nothing doing in the
cars except in just such books. I might make
exception Of some books Of standard liter
ature, such Thackerays but they form
rare exception.
Are there any special editions prepared for
the railway trade? No, but while many cloth
covered books sold on the trains Of course
the paper covered ones are chiefly demanded,
because the purchasers generally do not keep
the books bought Many publishers issue
popular books in paper covers especially after
their first great demand has been satisfied by
the cloth covers; but these paper editions are
the same for all the more ephemeraI uses-you
will find them the hotel stands. on the news
counters. the elevated railroad platforms
and in the ferIyhouses as well.
What becomes of all the train bought books?
What becomes of all the pins? They almost
ALL sooner or later, find their way back to the
paper mill. No, there is no general system of
exchange or return of such books, and the pub
fishers would be much opposed to anything of
the sort. You may find here and there in some
small places a small bookseller who makes a
practice of exchanging books that have been
read, for small bonus, of taking such books
back; but there is regular system Of
change. OF course, you understand why the
publishers would oppose any such system, es-
pecially for cheap editions, such as have the
principal sale on railroads. When they get down
to -, and still mere 10 10, cents the price of
a book that they would sell in cloth at from
~ cents to 81 20 they expect to make every
reader Of the book purchaser of it.
so YOU may say, on the whole that the rail
way book trade is governed by just about the
same principles the book trade terra frma.
Tie companies order just about in the
same way and in the same proportion of the
popular books of the day the retail bookseller
would order, and are governed by about the
same calculations and considerations of the
prospects Of sale. If a book is a popular and
widely selling one on land to speak it will
be so on the trains. The only difference is In
the larger proportion of paper covered books
sold when the books in demand appear in paper
covers"
