HIGH-PRICED BOOKS
NOT ALWAYS RARE
Experts Do Not Agree on Their Au-
thenticity, but the Value Is There.

To the ordinary buyer a book is
Just book 1t it be the average
novel of today, one may agree with
the lady who buys only the books
that are bound in blue without any
consideration for the text.
Not that all modern fiction is bad.
but. as the fellow said of fountain
pens. most of them are worse than
others.
The famous Hoe library sale caused
the indifferent public to stop and take
some notice Several of the Hoe vol
times brought prices away up INTO the
thousands of dollars, and the Gutten-
berg Bible from this wonderful Ii
hrary brought the record price or
$50, 0G So the average buyer ane
reader of everyday books is WONDER
ing If the prices of books are going
up with the cost of living.
1t now appears that question.
arises as to the genuineness Of some
of the Hoe books. Experts do not all
agree that they are originals. THIS
should be of slight consequence to
those that have paid their thousands
for them. Such books are not bought
for their text matter. Even though
they be not genuine. they are. rare,
ard as II is this feature that is sought
by collectors. possessors of these rare
volumes should be satisfied.
II Is the ordinary buyer Of books
that must be careful and guard
against counterfeits. The Journal is
distributing Wehster's New Illustrated
Dictionary. The object is to put an
authentic and authoritative reference
book into every home reached by The
Journal and TO encourage education,
AS there are dictionaries on the mar
ket that are not all they arc claimed
to be. it behooves the average book
buyer to be careful. There is only
one way to get this wonderful book
offered by The Journal which is eN-
planned elsewhere under the diction-
airy coupon 1t will be wise to cir
that coupan today and get started III
the right way to get the best dictlon-
arg on the market.
