Wise Book Buyer
Watches Reductions

II larE00G
book stores in the country have lists of
thousands Of book buyers of moderate
incomes. to whom they send prompt
notice of any sales likely to interest
them. Sometimes books are sent out
upon approval, with the privilege of
return If the recipient is not interested
A salesman in one of the largest book
stores in the United States, who has
had great deal of experience in book
selling, claims that the book collector
is almost invariably honest, chiefly, he
believes. because of the ennobling ef-
feet of good literature upon the con-
science. He has records of thousands
of books sent out to strangers upon ap-
proval. Any one of these might easily
have kept the volume without paying
for it. and the store would have had
no redress. but to the best OF his belief
this has never been done
The special libraries of private indf-
viduals may add greatly to the literary
resources of community. The law
yers of Toledo, Ohio. recently cooper
ated in the publication of a list of all
of the legal books contained in their
individual Libraries. These books are
all practically at the disposal of any
lawyer wishing to consult them, and
this fraternal exchange of legal lore
has already proved most valuable The
library OF the College OF Physicians In
Philadelphia had it's nucleus in the
medical books collected by several
physicians who were generous enough
to wish their professional brethren to
benefit by them. A prominent surgeon
Of Washington. who is the recognized
discoverer of some advance methods in
local anesthesia, supports a valuable
library OF books and periodical clip
pings of subjects pertaining to surgery
and anesthesia. 1t is conveniently
catalogued. and its resources are at the
disposal of any surgeon who desires to
consult 1t. Few book collections OF
any size are made which do not indi-
rectIy benefit the entire public. Special
collections are likely eventually to be
added to public libraries. and most
book owners derive their greatest
pleasure in sharing their treasures
with all who can appreciate them
