Books With Uncut Leaves.

In this country and Germany the
practice Of publishing books and
magazines with uncut leaves has
largely fallen into disuse, but 1t is
still common in France. where its
prevalence provides a dissatisfied au-
thor with a cause for grumbling. In
la Grande Revue" among other
hindrances to the reading habit which
Is 30 much in need Of encouragement,
at any rate from the authors point Of
view, he instances the practice OF
publishing books with uncut edges.
Time, he says, is growing more
valuable every year and yet the read
er Of a French volume of average
proportions has to spend about twenty
minutes in the pettifogging work Of
cutting the leaves In order to get at
the contents. Some people Of course
who take their reading in leisurely
fashion rather like being checked by
the need for using paper knife, but
the ordinary reader does not want
to be bothered in this way. He likes
to 60 straight ahead without being
compelled to cut his way through the
book as he proceeds.-Westminstez
