Translations from the Germans, tranSlatiOns from the SWedcS, and masquerading sermons the weary victim reads; translations from the Spanish, translations from the Films, translations from the Danish, and other bOokish sins; and native authors nifty print volumes by the pile, and one, perhaps, in fifty, is worth a read CTS while. We've books by four time winners who would eXpound the truth, and books concerning sinners pursued by wondrous sleuth; and we have problem nov els and books about the slum, where, down in filthy novels fierce people live on rum; and We have volumes weighty, and some that make us smile, and one, perhaps, in eighty, is worth a readers while. We've books about the toiler, and books about the due, and books about the spoiler, and books that shock the prude; and we have books that worry about our modern ways, and other books that hurry us back to ancient days, to lady on her billion, to knight who scraps in style; and one in fifty million is worth the readers while.
