And their profits to the publisher
greater than when disposed of through
the medium of the bookseller.
And while there are lot of cheap
books. shoddy ones, those mechanical
~ bad and geographically hideous,
there are still an amazing lot of well
put up volumes that the ordinary book
buyer sees in no other way because
not displayed in the average book
shop.
On the other hand there is tremen-
dous lot of gambling in books of the
de luxe character.
It's just as insiduous as playing with
stocks.
And it's promoters as canny as Wall
Street brokers.
They are, indeed, book brokers, and
will load up with lot of their favorite
stock and take the gamblers chance
Oftener than not they win out.
| And then again they lose.
The shoddy de luxe edition. howev-
er, is becoming rarer as book buyers
become more sophisticated.
There was a time when mushroom
publishers could jack up sets of the
classics that looked like the real thing
but were based on the same sort of
sham foundation that is duplicated in
architecture by the Pennsylvania
state-housa, whose graft-ridden cree
ton is one of the scandals of this
! country.
But these are becoming rarer.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE.
Ware the book agent.
They say his day is waning.
But is this true?
Not so you could notice it," to use
the vernacular.
The fact is, to be successful book
agent, indicates certain type of genius.
One designated as agent once defin-
ed the varying strata of the profession
as book peddlers," book agents" and
book statesmen"
1t is these latter that typify the spe-
cies.
Or, rather, elevate it to the plane of
profession.
More than that, of an art.
They possess all the acumen of a
trained diplomat with the deftness of
q yeggman.
For they can worm their way into
the confidence Of any person from
the ColoneFs lady to Bridget
O'Grady," to say nothing of the mas
ter of the house and overload of the
department store, the little stem
ographer or the good young man work
ing his way from the bottom of the
ladder.
Even naughty business men who are
up to their ears in work and cannot
be disturbed while they sit with their
heels on the desk reading the morning
paper, find themselves signing con-
tracts for an edition bound in crushed
ievant with hand-colored illustrations
which will just match the decorations
in the library.
For he has slipped by the outposts
while the latter are examining a set
of thirteen volumes bound in boards
with illustrations depicting all the
Great Catastrophes in History down to
the sinking of the Titanic and the
street car collision with the Richmond
steam roller which demolished wheel
on the steam-rol1er and never got into
the papers.
The office boy tips him the wink
while he gloats over the prospectus OF
ten volumes in half calf on payments
of three and a half cents week Gov
ering period of ten years and the
book salesman pussy-foots into the in
ner sanctuary and spreads his fasci
mating wares before the hypnotized
gaze of the bloated bond-holder some
time snoozing within.
The naughty business man tries his
bluff.
But it don't work.
And he succumbs.
He finds himself inviting the book
salesman to his home.
The salesman toys with the sugges
ton.
Says he has an engagement at nine
thirty-very important-is the only
time when he can see Mr.. Plutocrat
who is going to consult him about a
nucleus for a COLLECTION of de luxe edi
tions-oh, come to dinner, says the
naughty business man. Alone tonight
family out of town-we can talk il
over better that way-Plutocrat, by
the bye, is an ignoramus who doesn't
know whether Bacon wrote Shakes
peare or whether he's something tc
eat-he'd better begin on paper
backs and work up to de luxe editions
