BOOKS SOMETIMES RARE.

Inc ways IN WHICH IllS literary ullnS Is
salted are numerous and devious. Often
the books offered for sale are rare. but not
always are they valuable. There is as
much difference between rare books and
valuable books as there is between con-
noisseur and a dilettante, and while the
latter doesn't usually know the dis
tinction, the former seldom fails to know
It In many Of the book shops abroad
one may pick UP sets of books at a small
figure which are rare indeed. but not valua-
BILE. because nobody who knows anything
about books would want them. They are
generally editions which are too technical
to be of use to any but g few-popular
books which were printed from poor plates
or books defective or objected to in some
form so that they lie idle on the shelves of
the book shops until one Of these book sharps
comes in and buys them. Or maybe they
are books printed by house this side OF
the water which has long since gone out of
business: in any case they are books that
il would be hard to get any reliable infor-
nation about save from some expert on
book lore.
when these books are in the hands of
the agents tho interesting process follows
of making them attractive. Second hand
shops are ransacked for series OF old prints
that may be used for illustrations. and this
hunt often ends in the agents buying all of
the prints in the series. These prints are
really old. even though they do not cost
much, and they bear out what the agent
says when he tells the victim that they are
the only ones of the series in existence,
but the fact frequently remains that the
series made were poor that they were
rejected by the original publishers. and
have since remained a drug in the artistic
mart until The agent of rare editions ap-
pears tc purchase and palm them off on
the unsuspecting.
Another trick resorted to is putting ricn
ana snowy bindings on old books. This
can he done in colored feathers in a way to
give the books the appearance of belonging
f., the genuine literary aristocracy OF old
editions when, as a matter of fact they
are little else than wolves In Sleeps cloth
ing. Yet the agent tells the truth when he
saws they are rare editions, that they are
we'll bound and that they contain old plates
which are to be found only in these books
In all of this the courts generally support
him when he is forced to take the matter
into court as several recent instances have
nroyed for the agent shows his smartness
nv befng legally correct in all that he says
ALWAYS he tells the truth regarding the
books he sells. but it is not the whole truth
He leaves out the very facts which, If ex-
olained, would prevent the sale of his wares
at the enormous figure that he asks.

what he sells rather than his books, which
merely go as a premium with the elaborate

these literary gold brick takers practise can
be worked by almost any man of ordinary
