THE COST OF THE NOVEL
(Chicago Tribune)

(Chicago Tribune)
The demand for cheaper reading
material in England has partly been
met by one publisher, who announces
line Of new novels by really good
writer's, the books to be sold at shill-
ings each. The same books will be
republished on this side of the Allan
tic but as the copyright law compels
them to be set up and printed in this
country American readers will not be
able to buy them at so cents each.
This opens up the old question of
the cost of the modern book. Like
opera managers, publishers have, in
competition for the servi es of popu-
lar entertainers, paid higher and high
er prices. AS consequence, they
have not been able to market the
books of first-class writer's at less
than an average of $1.0S retail each.
The same rate applies also to all nov
els generally.
But the average novel is not book
preserved for long period. After be-
ing read it is often lent or given away.
With the cost of the cover eliminated,
and this is frequently a considerable
portion of the whole, novels in paper
covers might be profitably put on the
market at about rs cents. Why not
have paper-covered novels? The bulk
of French books of all descriptions
are so published.
