the novels which any one published
In 1921. It's sales during 1921 were
approximately 100000 cor. es. and it

But in March We published Dorothy

and. in fact, the sale of 10000 copies
OF this biography since June, 1921,
seems to us to be a clear indication
OF an unusually wide market in this
country for non-fiction booFs of out
standing quality. We nave come to
the conclusion that Queen Victoria

any rate. the sales this year show
little If any slackening.

r T may seem preposterous that
publishers should fail to know
what novel in 1921 outside of
those on their own list they would
have liked best to have pub
lished. In regard to non-fiction
works other than our own, we
would rather have published Have
lock Ellis's Impressions and Com
ments" than any other book in this
classification.
Rose Macaulay's Dangerous Ages
In actual copies sold enjoyed the
greatest degree of popularity of any
novel on our 1921 list, although the
sale of this same authors Potter
ism," which was published in Sep
tember of 1920 and suffered from
the handicap Of almost four months
previous sales, SOLD almost as many
copies in the last year. Konrad Ber-
covici's "Ghitza and Eight Other
Romances of Gypsy Blood" although
1t was generously and even enthusi-
asticaIly received by practically all
of the literary critics of the country,
was strangely neglected by the book
reading public. it's sales only reach
ing about 1900 copies.
BY far the most popular of our
non-fiction books last year, and this
year, too, is Hendrix Van Looms
STORY of Mankind" And it is un-
likely that any book on our list will
seriously dispute this position until
Mr. Van Looms 1.-THE Story Of the
Bible" is published by us in 1923.

~ SdiHe recent novel, Tne
Master of Man" proved to be
one of the outstanding works of fic-
ton in 1921. 1t was by far and away
our biggest seller, but the satisfac-
ton in publishing it came not alone
from the sale but more particularly
from the reception which was ac-
corded it by critics and readers.
Among the works of non-fiction it
is more difficult for us to select the
most popular volume. 1t is a race
between Pennell's 1.-The Whistler
Journal" and Faris's Seeing the
Sunny South"-two works totally
dissimilar in their nature. We must,
however, grant the palm to "The
Whistler Journal" as it has created
veritable Niagara of discussion and
correspondence. This is due to the
great interest in Whistler, whose
fame as an artist grows greater
every year. "The Journal and "The
Life" form an unusually interesting
commentary on the art and literary
circles in London and Paris of that
time as well as a complete and au-
thorized biography of Whistler.
While DR.. Burris Jenkins's "Prin-
cess Salome" enjoyed a fair degree
of success, we feel convinced that the
public has overlooked the great
merits of this novel. 1t is a remark
able literary achievement as well as
a dramatic and powerful story. 1t
presents a view of Bible times and
characters that inspire one with to-
tally new ideas of the great world
tragedy Many of the reviewers and
writer's realized the Importance of
this work, but for some reason it did
not appeal to the fiction readers as
we expected it would. 1t is our sin
cere belief, however that it will be
classed among the great Biblical
novels.
The discovery of the year for us
was the remarkable collection of
poems, "A Tale of a Walled Town"
and Other Verses, which came to
our hands in an unusual way from
the pen of B-S266, an inmate of
Philadelphia penitentiary. Prof. Will
lam Lyon Phelps was so greatly
pleased with the volume that he is
sponsoring it for the Pulitzer prize
in literature. We quote from his let
ter: These poems are remarkable

TT will be interesting, we think,
to see the responses from va
rious publishers in reply to
your QUESTIONABLE concerning the
general situation and popularity Of
the different books brought out dur
ing the publishing year of 1921. We
do not intend to digress in answer
ing your six questions any more
than we have to, but we shall hope
to see in the answers of other pub
fishers a reflection of their attitude
and sympathy toward the present
trend in literature. Perhaps from
their viewpoint rather than from

forecast may be seen as to the type
of books THAI may prove most ac-

they appear.
2. A pretty close tie between Will
frid Scawen Blunt's my Diaries
(18S8-1914)" and the new revised
edition Of H. L. Mencken's 1.-THE
American Language"
4. The outstanding example of an
unfairly neglected book on our list
was John Russell's Where the
Pavement Ends" You no doubt know
the curious history of this book: We
published it under the title of "The
Red Mark" in 1919. Despite ex-
tremely fine reviews the book sold
only a few hundred copies. Then
last year it was brought out in Eng
land under the new title, was widely
praised by the English press and be-
came the best seller last summer.
Thornton Butterworth. the English
publisher, had to print five editions
in as many weeks. Thereupon We
reset the book, added several stories.
and Where the Pavement Ends" is
now one of our best sellers. We have
had to print it three times.
5. "Zell." Henry Aikman's novel,
published in January of last year.
You may remember that H. L.
Mencken advertised in Smart Set
that he would undertake to find a
publisher for any deserving manu-
script that had gone the round un-
successfully and which merited pub
lication. Out of the several hundred
manuscripts sent him in response to
this "Zell" was the only one he found
answering the description. Mr..
Knopf recognized its unusual quality
Immediately and as you know the
book was very generously treated by
the critics and had an excellent sale.

point to the many American authors

themselves sound literary reputa-
tions. Henry Aikman. Floyd Dell,
